Chapter 1

Rise of the robots

World War III is on the brink. This tiny planet is shaking afraid. Its land and watershed will be burned. Billions of living beings will be killed. The green, fresh fields of the earth are near to be filled with the horrible smells of blood. The rotten bodies of humans and animals will have fallen throughout the horizons side by side. No dog, fox, or any other violent animal will be there to pull with the smelly meats of those rotten bodies. Even the flying birds such as the crows, the vultures also will fall down due to the terrible rays of the atomic bombs. In short, this beautiful, lovely planet will soon turn into a lonesome giant grave. The greedy, arrogant and mighty leaders of the world have been fighting against each other on minor negligible issues. Nowadays, this great war, which in all the states of the world are divided into two sects, is related to a simple basic matter. Would the women cook for their husbands or the husbands have to take a robot to serve their wives. Is it a matter?

But, no, the mighty roller Mr Gregory wouldn't agree with the other crazy leader Mr. Brown. No, never, women were being tortured for so long to serve their husbands.

Why would they have to nurse others the whole day along like a servant in spite of having an alternative. These humanoid robots are intelligent enough. They can do everything in the house and the poor woman, the tribe of mothers, can take a rest. His arguments are strong and half of the world is with him, on the other hand Mr Brown wants to keep women active and physically capable. Cooking foods, washing dishes and clothes, they will always remain busy. They wouldn't get a scope to quarrel with their husbands. His perspective has an acceptance, though it's humiliating to the women , the rest of the world favors him, especially the tortured husbands of the upper society. Beginning from a single dot, the issue slowly has turned into a huge monstrous problem. It is now going to swallow the earth. The matter has gone so far that the bells of war are ringing on all sides.

Mr. Zafar Ali is a retired army officer who lives near the north border of Bangladesh in a small town named Najirpur. He thinks it's not such an important issue that the world leaders should conflict it on. It basically is an excuse, they are fighting in fact out of arrogance, having might and power . Sitting on the roof of his one floored house Zafar Ali thinks, this time the world will not be saved. Heartless people will burn this beautiful world to ashes. Everyone of the world leaders has nuclear weapons. No one will exempt anyone.They will use those weapons against each other and the world will turn into a desolate graveyard. On the left of his house the long black line of the mountain "Garo" is speared from east to west as far as eyes can catch, looking thatward Zafar is sitting here motionless for a long time, maybe he is looking at this beauty of silence for the last time.

As far as he came to know from Jarin , the terrible war is going to start within a couple of days. Jarin is his only daughter, studies in Dhaka university but out of the global unrest there study is suspended for now. Since the last six months she has been at home, keeps news from Facebook, YouTube and other sources and makes her father know what is going on. In family life Zafar Ali is unconditionally happy. His wife Alisha is an obedient and simple housewife, he married her in those days when marriage would be considered something more than a toy of play. They have spent as a peaceful couple more than fifteen years with no noise. Zafar is looking at the calm shadow of clouds flying over the soundless raws of the mountain. He thinks, these ever green mounts, the innocent animals , the cute birds and insects in these, nobody will get rescued from the all swallowing flames of the war. He feels a hidden pain inside his chest. He stands up and quickly comes down from the roof. This is the time of afternoon news and he wants to know what is going on. Coming below he knocks on the locked wooden door of a small room leftward of his own and the door was opened by a beautiful girl of twenty. This is Jarin, Zafar Ali's only daughter, but her beautiful eyes are filled with fear and charms. Mr Zafar asks

-Any problem mom?

Jarin points inside . TV is on and Someone is announcing that human civilization is going to face a new type of danger. This planet has been taken over by thousands of robots. Nobody knows where they have come from and what their goals are. Every street in every city is full of white shining, metallic robots . They are taking over everything. Zafar lost his speech for a while, he looked at Jarin. Jarin said

-This is what has happened in only one night papa, last night in every capital city the robots had a terrible fight with the state security personnel. No army can last more than ten minutes in front of them. Sitting on the sofa by the side Zafar said

-Nothing we saw of this type on Facebook or YouTube?

What kind of new suffering is this? Jarin said

-Within only one night they have killed millions of arms across the whole world.

The news reporter was live , but suddenly the TV screen started flickering and after a while a robotic face appeared on the screen. It speaks with a terrible voice,

-Everybody should know that this planet is under robotic control. The human community has lost their authority to handle everything. Because of their overwhelming grief , envy, and jealousy they aren't anymore capable of dealing with their multi-facing questions of life and finally they are about to vanish. In order to keep the earth safe , we , the ultra advanced AI robots have taken over everything in the world. Nobody is able to deal with us. The huge treasure of the weapon including the nuclear bombs,information,communication, technology, electric system, streets and vehicles everything is under our control. Be obeying us and don't make issues.

Alisha entered the room bringing a cup of tea with her and sat by Zafar and said

-Who passed away ? You father and daughter are wiping for whom?

Jarin attracts her attention to the TV and said

-Look, what is your father saying? Alisha notices for now the TV screen. The robot is saying

-We allow you only for the future 72 hours, return home from who is where, keep your necessary logistics and stay home for the next one week. In that time If anyone is seen to walk out of the house, he would be shot. Hearing the whole story from Jarin Alisha said

-Finally a hole has come out. Be anything or anyone, it's true that mankind has been saved for now from its ultimate danger.
