Chapter 1:

Reunion

Love's conundrum


"Do not turn behind your emotions ...!" This was one of testament of my father before his death in few days ... I like my father too much because he was a bounty hunter ... the bounty hunters are those who find the items and precious treasures and are caught the largest criminals in the country. My father "Riad" was at the rank of Commodore and is the second highest rank in the guild, which were famous as the stars with their achievements. I think that one of the biggest achievements of my father is that I have not been successor in his career .. I'm true that I love my father so much and respect him but unfortunately I hate being a hunter for prizes. Despite his prestigious position in the explosive city of science, but he was a goal by enemies when he closely approached to be: "Mariscalo" the highest rank in the Treasure Hunters Guild and whoever receives this title is the only one who has received the above honor and glory is his perfection. My father died in a fight to the death with a criminal called Agent X, about whom little information is still scarce and hard to access in an advanced Renaissance in which the number of robots of various forms has increased over humans. What a joke! .

After my father's death, I was thirteen years old and I obeyed his advice and covered my heart with a film of rock and stone, and focused all my efforts on my passion for being a famous doctor heading towards the top.

No wonder I got it from my father, plus his orange curly hair. I studied at the University of Sanno in downtown Soloritya, one of the largest cities in our world, which has had a big boom for two decades, where architecture spawns and new technologies like autonomous floating vehicles, autonomous recreation rooms, teleportation through photons, and 3D telephony.

But what distinguishes our world here is that there is a distinctive class of humans, as I like to call it, called hybrids, and they are human beings with the characteristics and abilities of animals and other creatures perhaps. It was normal to see a boy with my ears and a wolf's tail ... Honestly, this is one of the reasons I love science and technology. In order to get to know these creatures more and know their truth and how they adapt between the human image and their peak phase – it is the transformation of the hybrid into the full image of the animal that carries its strength while possessing its human characteristics.

By the way, I did not introduce myself to you, I am Adnan, a young man who loves science and technology and aspires to be a famous doctor. My buddies call me orange shaggy because my curly hair is asymmetrical and I don't care much about it.

Not many things have happened in my university life, as I am the quiet type and I don't care about what doesn't belong to me. I graduated with honors at the age of nineteen and started working in a small hospital as an intern, but someone else was not betrayed by memory and thought of hiring me despite my simple part-time experience. My phone rang and I looked at the screen in wonder and didn't know what fate was hiding for me. I went to my breakout room, away from the children's suite, pressed approval, and a man in his thirties in a black elegant suit adorned with gold embroidery and looking humble and reassuring on his face was embodyed. He was calling me from a near location in town.

" Hello Adnan. How are you?! "

"I'm fine. And you?! ".

"I'm fine, thank you for asking... I have happy news for you and to tell you that you have no hand for rejection...! ".

" What's wrong?! Your words arouse chills and curiosity at the same time. ".

"I would like you to work under my wings, young man...!"

" M... What do you mean?! I'm still an intern and haven't even completed my first year... ".

"It doesn't matter... I noticed your experience and intelligence a long time ago when you were supervising Maya's sister's treatment. At that time, you didn't even go to university, but you proved your talent in a young age... ".

"That's nothing."

"There is no room for refusal... I'm waiting for you at the clock café two blocks west of your current location... ".

I asked permission from the supervising doctor and hurriedly went to the meeting point... The man who was connected was my father's dearest companion, Mariscalo, shining with smooth hair falling down to his shoulders, tall, seeing the whiteness of his face from afar like a bright moon. He shook hands with me warmly – even though he was a long-standing relative and this is something I loved very much about him – and he came forward to ask for me. He did not listen to my request for his invitation, but he bore the invitation himself.

We had grilled beef steaks with hot soup and green salad, and we talked about various topics that interest me such as robotic science , recent discoveries, the past of the city of Soloritia and the suppression of hybrids in previous years. I didn't feel the difference in age or status between us, but his spontaneity and humility made him one of my closest friends and reminded me of those beautiful days I used to spend with my father. The master truly deserves his place as Mariscalo in the bounty hunter community. We got into the main topic, which is employment.

"Listen, Adnan... I would like you to be my supervising doctor in Salvatore... ". I bullied my courage:

"I can't be in such a position. Mariscalo... I'm not worthy of honesty yet. ".

The colored eyes patted me on the shoulder:

"I just want you... Don't worry, I'll pay you as I should, and I won't digest your right. ".

"I didn't mean that, sir... I ... ".

"Don't worry. You are Talal and Maya's friend for a long time and I trust you. Everything will be fine...! ".

Despite my stress and anxiety about the future, Mariscalo's words gave me relief and extroversion. I was very optimistic and knew that I would be under the custody of a great teacher.

In Salvatore, where the Mariscalo lives and where he receives special tasks – for a higher fee of course – I was greeted by a young man of my age with brown hair and a glimpse of beauty in his face, dressed in colloquial clothes, walking towards me as soon as he heard the sound of the mechanical door:

"Finally, Welcome back, smart man...!"

"What's wrong with you, crying baby?! You have grown in size but not a mind...! ".

The young man's veins popped up angrily after he was unable to respond to my phrases that blow him up like a bomb as usual.

"You're right, doctor, but here's good news, this guy has grown stronger than before...!".

A young hybrid woman four years younger than the boy and I said according to her medical file in my memory... And what a miracle...! Is this the Maya I know?! She became more charming, more beautiful and more mature... I think I fell into the forbidden, guys...! . My face blushed like a the heart of the tomato as I contemplated her long scarlet hair, her blue eyes like the blue of the sky, and the contours of her body are breathtaking... I woke up from my drunkenness with a blow to my head until I almost hit the ground.

"What is this, chestnut head...?!"

"Turn a blind eye... You have revealed your matter, you fool..! ".

The intended woman's face reddened as she turned her gaze away in shame. This was interrupted by a loud giggle of mariscalo as he patted us on the shoulders:

"How beautiful are the days of youth...!"

Talal and Maya are old friends. We have known each other for many years, as I was trained under a doctor and treated them on the recommendation of my parents, they are also bounty hunters despite their young age... Unlike me, Talal admired his father's workmanship, Mariscalo, and followed his path, hoping to carry the banner for the next generation and be a flag of prestige and honor. As for Maya, the article has another denominator.

Mariscalo took me with Talal and the scarlet cat Maya to a room on the ground floor and to be honest, It was charming to a person as passionate about science as I am... The room was medium in size with two mattresses with two monitors and two oxygen cylinders hidden behind green curtains with a lounge with waiting chairs. There was a small room attached with a bed, a desk and a refrigerator for emergency medicines.

My eyes sparkled in wonder and I grabbed the palm of the mariscalo to shake his hand as I thanked him. Mariscalo smiled and asked permission to do some paperwork in his office.

Maya " you're both invited to eat dessert. Tell me what you are asking for in the midst of celebrating the doctor's return?! ".

Dr. Adnan "I hate to spoil your happiness, but I have ordered food in advance and it will arrive soon".

Before I finished my phrase, my phone rang.

"Your order has been delivered. Please receive the order..! ".

I went to the mechanical door and received different types of food, so I thanked the delivery man and went to my companion to celebrate an old reunion.
