Rudra

After my three-days stay in Scotland, I extended it by traveling to California, US. I needed to sort my thoughts out before going back to India. In my state, it wouldn't be that hard to figure out something is wrong with me. I had avoided all unnecessary calls, filtering out the important ones and only attending those. Last night, before I departed from Scotland, I received a call from Yuvraaj. I hadn't heard him sound so disoriented in years. Upon asking if everything's okay, he assured me things are fine and he had called solely to check on my returning date. I told him about my hologram project and that I'll probably be busy for the next two weeks. He then told me to focus on the task in hand, before hanging up abruptly. I haven't received any personal calls afterwards, not even from Taranya.

Considering what went down between us before my departure, I was hoping she'd call, or at least message to check up on me. But she's one heartless woman. She had time to post on her Instagram about her live debate, but not a minute more to see how I'm doing.

I know I'm walking on a one-way street in this relationship. I'm simply moving forward, alone, without any reciprocal of my actions, affection, and love, and the thought is terrifying. But I had assumed it's not getting wasted. My efforts, my feelings, my love, even if not returned, are at least acknowledged.

But to hear I'm suffocating her, that was the last straw. Because she's a blunt woman. She's forward with her feelings. She has always been. And if that was what she really felt, she should have been clear with me from the beginning. Unless, she deliberately wanted to give me hope, only to break it mercilessly when I cling to it. I refuse to believe she's capable of such heartless, diabolical intentions.

I decide not to think about her much. The more I lose myself in her thoughts, the more she consumes my world, and the more incapacitated I feel. This is not the right time to become emotional. I had enough of it during my stay in Scotland.

Work is my priority right now. So I focus back on the computer screen.

It takes me more than seven hours to successfully run the code. Only to run it. Running doesn't always ensure positive results. I had to remove hundred different lines because Yara's latest version didn't support the outdated instructions, and find an alternative of them to bring back the deleted features. Professor's code is only the base, the ground I need, but it's on me to build up from there. While the technology has made it easy to create your own hologram within fifteen minutes, but it's not advanced enough to support an incredibly intelligent and capable AI like Yara.
