Chapter 5:
Love's conundrum
Robot 2 "I have become more mentally stable compared to previous days... ".
Robot 3 "Definitely because he became a timekeeper. ".
Dr. Adnan, "What are you saying?! I'm always mentally prepared... Let's agree which magazine to acquire that will help me in my research on the elixir of life?! ".
Robot 1 "you're still aiming for the top at that scientific conference huh!"
"Precisely...! This is what I aim for...! I have to be ambitious to achieve the passion and reach my goal".
Robot 4 "What is your purpose in life?!"
Doctor Adnan "Good question... What is your purpose, robots?! ".
The four robots lined up in a horizontal line:
Robots – together with one voice – "Our goal is your comfort and satisfaction. And you?! ".
I bought a scientific journal from the neon shelf.
"I aspire to develop the elixir of life... I want it to be cured of any disease or injured whatsoever... Thus, I will raise my name and make my mother proud of me. ".
Robot 1 "What an ambition...!".
We went to the accountant and I pay for him . on the way back, floating screens ignited, as well as robots, traffic lights and others, announcing shocking news that shook me from head to toe... I froze in my place from the shock and my sweat came down profusely and my tears My eyes burst out of tears and I couldn't believe what happened. I took out my phone and received a punch of calls from little loli Sarah . Everyone on the roads was so surprised by what they heard that even the movement of vehicles stopped for about a quarter of an hour.
"Mariscalo's body found dead in Fourth District of Grisham neighborhood.".
I came home heartbroken... My second father is gone as well... Sarah was sent details of the funeral. It was raining heavily and I had been suffering from the rain complex since, my father Riad died... I hesitated to go out, but the good memory of Mariscalo loomed in the sentiment when he always promised to take care of me, in Salvatore, he wrestled with Maya at the gym after she challenged him to beat him. He was beaten by his choice, after throwing a series of painful punches at her until swallowing of where he hits . Then he dealt with his son, as he softened up with him in guidance and other times when the situation needed it. I wish it would come back to us. That's what I said myself as I stood in an enormous crowd of people who had come to his funeral.
A large number of treasure hunters and doctors and big figures were in attendance. The president himself was even present with an equally prestigious group of bodyguards. Talal cries ferociously under the rain, and the Commodore Shuja'a pats on his shoulder in sympathy. I also sees Maya collapse crying as her mother tries to relieve her sadness. It's the first time I've seen Maya cry... As much as it hurt my heart, the loss of the day was a great heavy loss, and death has robbed him from us..
The days passed slowly in Salvator and returning to Salvator was like a series of endless torture. I chose to respectfully withdraw from it and concentrate only on my work at the hospital. Talal accept my decision, but the girls couldn't accept it even they texted me to back home. The home is no longer home without its owners . I promised the two young women that I was their family doctor and that I would never abandon them and I always there for them.From time to time, Maya had visited me to experience the elixir of life that was productive every day. We're best friends ever, and I really appreciate her decision choosing to volunteer for science. The things was messed up for Talal in the guild of bounty hunter, who choose to only dedicate to Salvator which makes the new Mariscalo " Shuja'a " angry and kick him out. It was the easier for Maya, who was honored and raised at ranking and working like before in Salvator too, while Sarah dedicated herself to Talal and Salvator-because she doesn't have license as a hunter- . She knew how to hack and invent and developed a supersuit to help Talal fight in tough world and she had cameras everywhere in the city that scan every single corner of the city.Sarah, "I gave her an anesthetic to calm her down... She was groaning in pain... ".
Raheeq - in tears - "o..oh doctor ... Please... Please treat my poor daughter...! ".
Raheeq was shining in a lavish wedding dress and a lion hybrid stood next to her in a suit. I spoiled this glorious night with Maya's affliction and the panic of women and children. There was a masked man looking at us and he left away. I rushed with the robots to rescue Maya until we got to the hospital. I spent about five hours treating this serious injury- she needs an operation-, and then I was busy treating Talal's wounds, part of Talal's suit melted, causing serious burns to his left arm, and another mild injuries. After a long night I took a break. But my conscience was aching for having to relay bad news to the family.
The morning sets up :
Talal – walking slowly in pain towards Maya's room – "M... Maya... How is Maya..?! ".
Sarah, "You need to rest, Commander... ".
Doctor Adnan "Good morning everyone... ".
Hybrid lion - Trox - "How are you, doctor?! Please tell us about Maya's condition... Raheeq didn't rest and cried all night... I hope you bring good news to us. "
.Doctor Adnan "Maya is alive, thanks to God... She needs to stay in bed for at least a week. – Talking to Talal – May I have a word with you ..?! ".
Talal "Absolutely... ".
The two of us entered... The chestnut head was shocked by Maya's condition as she relied on the devices to survive. She was very exhausted and under anesthesia because of the seriousness of the wound she suffered.
Doctor Adnan" because of your closeness to Maya and your status to her. I have bad news to share with you... ".
I told the golden boy about the danger of Maya being injured by the so-called pineal bullet, which contains a capsule with grains inside that led to the fusion and burning of a number of vital tissues. Her spleen ruptured and a whole kidney ended up being removed. I was very pained by what happened to a persistent and ambitious girl like Maya... I felt that the world was unfair and had no place for good people.
Talal was very sad and blamed himself for this mistake again. Thanks to the elixir of life, Maya was able to recover quickly within two weeks to return to her activities as a bounty hunter and this era was her season of brilliance as she was a national symbol of which our city is proud.It didn't take time since that event for Talal, me and his team to be targeted by an unknown group because of a little girl who was in my care – as a patient – called Salam.We endured the odds together and Talal and Maya fought valiantly to save the little girl and uncover the dirty conspiracy that was hatched in the dark. In this mission, Maya was able to awake her own *peak phase* that was different from any hybrid I had seen before. As for Talal, he gained my trust and I contracted with him to go home again: Salvator...!. I think it's a little pitying and ridiculous, but hey, hey... Salvator has been my home since birth and will always be so... Talal and everyone else were happy to have me back and I shared the same feeling.
