The People of ARI had never smelled the stench of laziness and boring hours, not even once in their lifetime.
The entertaining Technologies gave a boost and relaxation, to their restless hands and body. The day, when the President ordered their most lovable and Trust worthy possesion of theirs, that is when Connector and Slapie got banned for a temporary days, people entered into a noir mode.
They all starved each and every minute, unable to meet their friends in the Connector world. People formed groups outside their blocks and important landmarks, to oppose the sudden ban.
More than the citizens, the creators of Connector, Chris and Mark got into a deep sorrow. They had no works to do and even they were asked to close their company for few days.
The whole of ARI was protected with high security to guard the borders and entry. From the order of the Millitant Chief, all the soldiers along with bots, got into heavy action double- checking the sorroundings.
In a hectic environment, Ailee just had a walk with the thoughts of her father consuming her. She worried for him, as she knew how her father loved his creation. Not observing those things infront of her, she just walked along as if she had closed her eyes.
It was when, once again she came across bot Louis.
" Hi, Ailee! I had been searching for you, since early morning. Do you have time?", asked Louis.
" Yes, Louis! I too need your help", replied Ailee.
" If you're ready to hear my words, I'll do anything in return", said Louis.
After both of them, came to an agreement, they went to converse in the nearby seashore restaurant.
Louis had an excited facial reaction and he tried hard for a long time, to say something to Ailee.
" Can you please order a double- cheese pizza and start the conversation? Your stumbling is unbearable", said Ailee, raising her eyebrows.
As per her request, Louis made an order and began his emotional speech.
" Its been four days, since I transformed myself to a Homo and its been four weeks and three days left to turn myself back to normal. But, within these days, I want myself to live a a happy and memorable life, I'd dreamt to live in these four days. Its my humble request to help me, as you're the only person who could do it", requested Louis.
Ailee couldn't hold back her laughter, as she had never seen a bot talk in such an emotional manner. She accepted to fulfill his request, with a condition to help her whenever she needs.
With her acceptance, the bot continued," First, I need a family with parents and a sister. I would love to help my parents as a eldest son and have a happy memory with my sibling sister. Will you fulfill that?", asked Louis.
" My Goodness! Are you telling me that you'll be my brother for the time being? Its amazing! I would love to have a brother who could fulfill all my dreams. I accept your request", Ailee screamed at her top voice and replied to him jumping joyfully in her seat.
Therefore, it was the first day they both began their lovely relationship as a brother and sister. With the excitement, Ailee munched up the whole pizza in no time.
Ailee asked Louis if he had any idea to live with them as a family, in the same house, for the time being. But, he declined her idea saying that he has lot of works to do, as things weren't pretty good recently.
" Can I ask my first help as your sister", asked Ailee.
" What's wrong with you? Since, you people met us, you've been asking loads of help from us, as we were bots. Ask me, I'm never going to turn you down", replied Loius.
" Our father feels too down, 'cause of the Connector bannned issue. Can you track and tell me those unknown signals, which cracked into it?", asked Ailee.
Louis thought for a while and replied," Yeah! But, its complicated as it's a confidential issue. I can give only certain info, are you okay with it?", Louis asked in return.
With her acceptance, they both left the restaurant having a sweet conversation.
Louis returned to his daily work routine and Ailee went to Jason's house, just to meet him. Before, she did even reached his house, she heard someone crying in pain.
" I don't know who's it, but he must be in immense pain. I wish him to get well soon!", Ailee thought to herself, thinking that somebody from the neighborhood was grieving.
But, when she moved ahead, the crying sound increased and she heard it louder and louder. Ailee wondered who that was and with those thoughts she just entered Jason's house and got shocked to see him.
" Jason! What happened?", saying Ailee rushed to her friend, who was crying in the sofa covering his face.
Jason cried in immense pain and he did not response to Ailee. She waited for him silently and then she lifted his head up.
She got astounded to see his face, which looked too red around his eyes. After getting few remedies and ideas from the LEXI Assistant, Ailee immediately turned out all the lights in the house, closed the curtains and made the house dark.
After few minutes, Jason felt somewhat okay, as the dim lights gave him refreshment to his eyes. Ailee then brought a huge bowl full of icy water, adding petals of sparkling plants in it.
She gently wiped his under eyes, with that sparkling water, which gradually lessened up Jason's pain and swollen eye.
" I tried to bring myself back to normal and I almost forgot everything about those bad incidents. But, this pain is the thing, which is making me never forget those incidents and this strange life. Unless I get rid of this eye, I won't be able to live a peaceful life", Jason said to Ailee in a depressed tone.
" Are you going through this pain, all these days? Why didn't you tell us?", Ailee asked furiously.
" Its something beyond medicines and stuffs. I can get rid of this, only if I find the cause of it. I'll get into anything to find it", Jason moaned in anger.
As they were both talking, Clara rushed inside the house in heavy speed. Her face looked pale and nervous, when she entered and her eyes were filled up with her caring tears.
She ran towards Jason in her full black security uniform and hugged him tightly.
Jason gave a angry stare towards Ailee, while he was hugging his mom, as he never wanted to make his mom worry about him.
Ailee avoided his eye contact and rushed to the door, as she was the one who called Mrs. Clara while she was preparing the Aiding bowl.
