EM WINKED AT HIM.
"Can you be more serious about what has happened to me?" Ram asked Em.
She was laughing at her processor's max capacity. Ram thought it was the most he had seen her laugh and even though he hated her to stop with this nonsense, he had to do it.
There were more urgent matters that he needed to discuss with her.
"Em, please," he said.
Em took some time to compose herself. "Alright. It's been fun to see you trying to hypnotize me. But since you are not in a mood to enjoy it, I can't do anything about it. But don't think of this as me getting my enjoyment by making fun of you. Have you seen how worried you were?" she said.
Ram glared at her. "I don't need the fun at my expense," he said.
Em shook her head. "You don't know how to take sport. It's better if I watch some of the techniques that could make you loosen it up. The more relaxed you would be, the more clearly you would be able to think about the situation you were in currently," she said.
"If I relax even for a little bit, then my enemies would make use of it to do something so horrible that there was no way we will get out of the resulting mess," he said.
Em shook her head. "You see that's where you were wrong. You have to be calmed down before assessing clearly who is your enemies and what you should do about it. Just try it. Relax. If you want, I will genuinely help you," she said, then turned herself into Sandhya.
In a very sexy dress.
The one that enunciated every one of her amazing curves.
Ram swallowed.
Em's gaze right then was so filled with lust that Ram couldn't control himself.
He slapped himself.
Again and again till he got to his senses.
"If you don't stop with this bullshit, I will get the hell out of here," he said.
Em shook her head. She was back to herself. "I thought you loved her. Seeing her makes you be on cloud nine and all. If you want, I could hug you, do anything that you have in your dreams," she said, giving him a flying kiss.
Ram couldn't take it anymore.
He got out of the endless room that existed in his mind, and came to the outside world.
Sandhya was staring at him with amusement with Chandra by her side who was glaring at him. "What nonsense were you even dreaming about that would make you blush and pant like a dog?" Chandra asked.
Ram shook his head. "Please, don't even ask about it. It's Em. I have been scared for life. Really. I don't think I can exist in this world anymore," Ram said.
Em appeared in her rebellious attire with rainbow colored hair and lips. "He was too uptight and I thought of making him relax," she said.
Sandhya couldn't hold herself. She fall down, laughing and Ram was mesmerized by her laughter.
She looked so beautiful and the more…
Chandra blocked her vision from him and Ram swallowed.
His glare was so intense that Ram wished he should avoid making him angry.
Shaking his head, he turned away from them.
And came directly face to face with Em.
She made her rainbow colored hair glow and shift in colors from time to time that hurt Ram's eyes, her rainbow colored lips were without any changes, but now she put on a shirt that was a patchwork of all colors that existed in the world.
She resembled a fashionable beggar. The one with the bad taste.
Ram groaned and walked as far away from them as possible.
But since Em was connected to him, she cannot exist few feet away from him. She always stayed within his visible distance.
"Please, can you change it into something else?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"Please?"
"No."
"I will do anything that you wanted. Please. Don't you think I have suffered enough? If this continues any longer, I am afraid my eyes would bleed," he said.
Em finally turned herself into her usual blue flight attendant suit.
"Em, this is really epic. What did he do to make you behave like this?" Sandhya asked.
Em shook her head. "You don't want to know. Besides, this is between him and me. All of this was his fault to begin with. Just think that I am in the phase of teenager in rebellion against an Evil Overlord," she said seriously.
"Wow! I didn't realized that I am an Evil Overlord. Shouldn't I do something oppressive like making you treat me as a master rather than as a friend that I have asked you to?" he asked.
Before Em could reply, Chandra interjected. "Now that I think about it, what is she doing here? Isn't she supposed to be Elder of Time's assistant. Sandhya, don't tell me you were right when you informed earlier that you know where the Elder of Time was and it had been him all along. What happened to your grandfather?" he asked.
Ram frowned. He thought the other Elders had informed Chandra about this matter. He was about to inform him the same when he saw him staring at Sandhya and they were exchanging the sweet couple gaze and Ram groaned.
Ram could feel their sexual tension so much so that even he was simulated by it.
God damn it! He was just a teenager, with his life in danger. He didn't want his hormones to go overdrive.
He instantly went to the meeting room inside his head.
Em appeared moments earlier.
"That's sweet of them. But…" she trailed off.
"What?" Ram asked.
"I think Sandhya or Chandra was hypnotizing the other?" she asked.
Ram shook his head. "No. They are not hypnotizing each other. More than showing to me that they are in so love with each other. If only her mother hadn't forbade them, they would've kissed each other just now. And I had to thank Elder of Air for that," Ram said.
Em shook her head. "No. I think one of them were the culprit we were looking for, the one who might have hypnotized you, monitored you and all. Don't you see. It's the way when…" she trailed off, suddenly stared off in a distance.
Her whole self distorted for a moment .
Soon, she appeared in front of him in various styles, flickering form one style to other, finally settling to her rainbow colored hair and, clothes and lipstick self.
"So, how do you feel watching them so in love?" she asked.
Ram stared at Em in horror.
The way Em was acting felt like there was a glitch in her program.
Like she was being hacked.
