John was still in the middle of digesting the fact that a rich tycoon was standing before him but Old man was little impatient and dragged him near Erika. He saw Erika slowly opening her eyes .

“Little pumpkin …how are you? Shall I call doctor ?”Erika smiled at her grandfather and shook her head .She opened her mouth to say something but froze when she saw John.

Old man quickly said “Oh this is your savior . He was the one who called ambulance after your accident.”

John introduced himself with a smile and extended his hand “Hello …I am John”

Erika didn’t smile and didn’t even look at his hand . She only said one word “OK.”

John froze .He was like a cartoon standing awkwardly with one hand in front . He quickly retrieved his hand and looked at the Old man for help. But Old man understood as ‘Now I understand why you tried to do matchmaking .Give me a proper explanation.’

Old man coughed twice to ease the atmosphere .He pretended like he has not witnessed the awkward moment .”You see John my granddaughter has some issues .She has not said thank you or sorry to anyone in her life including me .She doesn’t like to talk to strangers and have body contact. I apologize on her behalf .”

John hurriedly said “No.. no problem . I am also not particularly fond of strangers.” He couldn’t believe one day he would get an apology from a rich tycoon.

Erika faced Old man and made some facial expression that John didn’t understand . He thought maybe they needed some privacy .So he decided to silently slip away. But to his surprise Old man said “I have to make a call. I will come back in a while. You guys can talk in the mean while.”

John was about to stop the Old man but he underestimated Old man’s speed which was like lightning . His heart beat started beating erratically when he realized that he was all alone with a beautiful angel.

But when he looked at her calm and icy expression, he mocked himself and stood there silently.

[Sub mission : First step is always difficult to take .User needs to get target’s phone number within a day .

Reward :lucky charm

Note: Failure of submission may lead to failure of main mission]

John felt helpless. He had zero experience when it came to opposite gender . He was very shy in school and collage .He secretly had crush with few girls but didn’t have balls to propose .When any girl started a conversation with him ,he would stammer and make the situation awkward . So he generally avoided girls and kept his fantasies to himself.

He had no idea on how to start a conversation . Even if he started somehow ,he didn’t know how to continue the conversation. So getting a girl’s number is like climbing Mount Everest to him . He was bold and courageous when he talked to his Principal but now he felt like a little mouse trapped in a cage.

He had to get her number otherwise the main mission will fail and the A.I would self destruct . He had no other option to try .’Eva open my display’

He was slightly surprised to know that a new Values LOVE and SYMPATHY were unlocked and they were even progressed to 50. Other Values also progressed slightly .He thought ‘Maybe it happened while I was blacked out. Eva open suggestion panel’

[Suggestion panel,

Why does people feel insecure to talk to opposite gender? Why does love seems so mystical and only few are fortunate enough to experience it?

People are insecure because they expect rejection. There is no such thing as secret formula for love except sincerity and courage. If one has ulterior motives in mind ,he can’t be sincere while he express his love. Without courage one can’t get anything even if a heavenly fruit comes right in front of you.

There is no such thing as prerequisite or qualification to express love for example right time ,right place , right job. Because you will be making an assumption that he /she will still be single by the time you are ready. Most of the time when he is ‘ready’, he realizes it is too late to do anything.

Love seems mystical because society has constructed an ideal image ,requirement and preference for example looks , government job , rich family. Most people are passively influenced by the society’s rigid criterion.

A not so good looking girl won’t even try to find a partner .A good looking girl won’t be satisfied by an ‘average guy’ and the so called ‘average guy’ is a culturally constructed image that is mostly false.

How did society came up with that image? Yes, improper reference or Value system. Since 90% of people have shaky Value foundation ,a society which is influenced by it has also distorted image . Our inferiority or superiority complex is the byproduct of false societal reference.

An ideal person should measure his self worth not by comparing with others or society but his Value system. Unless majority of the people follow the path of building Value foundation there will be no ideal society but a distorted society.

Opportunities come and go like wind but one needs to have Values like courage, love, respect ,honesty, truth to conquer it .You don’t have to put in yourself in box ,decorate it and present to a outsider .If your love is sincere people will chase you not the other way round.

Remember there is no shortage for an average person with shaky Value foundation as they are 90% in the world . You are the rare minority that comprise 10% so ,technically people should chase you not vice versa ]

John was moved by the suggestion. He couldn’t fathom the depth of his virtual master insights . He felt lucky to have a system like this in his mind and thought of a scenario ‘ What if everyone had a system like this ? What kind of society would we have then?’.

He snapped out of reality and looked at Erika . She was simply reading a book casually .She was not a little bit affected by his presence.

‘May be this was difference between a common man and a rich man. We crawl in gutter with our insecurities and believe that others are making fun of us .But rich people simply don’t care about us .They have confidence in their way of thinking and consistently try to move up the ladder.’

John realized his mistake and scolded himself for being a looser . He steeled his heart and said with a smile “Miss Erika I heard you are doing architecture .May I know why you are interested in architecture?”

Erika didn’t bother to tilt her head from the book .She simply answered “What is my interest has to do with you?”

John was dumbfounded .He couldn’t believe how haughty that young miss was .He thought for a while and made a crafty smile .He suddenly screamed “ Oh shit …..cockroach run” John tilted his body to the exit but suddenly …..

Erika threw her book aside and jumped like a mouse who found her nemesis .She disregarded all her haughtiness and directly leaped into John’s embrace. She was little scared, closed her eyes and tightly hugged John.

John was secretly satisfied by his innovative thinking. He wanted laugh ‘AHAHA… where is your haughtiness princess? You are still a little girl who is afraid of a cockroach at the end of the day.’ But controlled his urge with great difficulty.

He was no saint and didn’t forget to take advantage of the young miss who didn’t even bother to look at him. It was first time he hugged a girl in his entire life so he was astonished at at the new feeling. He smelled her beautiful hair which was floating on his face and caressed it gently . He could feel her curves on his body which made him really aroused .He secretly gulped mouthful of saliva and hoped that time would stop for ever.

Unfortunately one has to wake up from the dream soon enough . Erika asked nervously “Is it gone?”

“What ?”John was still immersed in his own world and forgot his own little plot.

“Cockroach, is it gone?” Erika asked by clutching John’s shirt tightly.

“Which cockroach?” John was puzzled.

This time reply didn’t come. Erika pushed him aside without any mercy and returned to her bed. John opened his eyes in shock and realized that he ruined his own plot and started cursing his own stupidity. He knew unless he continue his plot he would be skinned alive by the young miss.

“Young miss ….it was just there …maybe it has moved on…. which cockroach has time to stay at the same place?” John started to blabber nonsense .He couldn’t control his mouth no matter what.

Erika didn’t speak ,only coldly looked at him . John didn’t know whether she was angry or sad . He didn’t know what to do and started to panic ‘What if she decide to not see me again or report it to Old man. I will be dead either way. No phone number equals to death.’

[Dear user , you have lost 10 points on truth and 10 points on honesty .Please be careful next time]

‘ Oh no ….it should have been triggered by my earlier prank.’ John started to regret .Suddenly he remembered his virtual master’s suggestion . ‘ Yes ,I need to be sincere with my feelings otherwise I will be buried in this hospital.’

John became calm all of a sudden and got up from the floor. Erika became slightly curious and lifted her eyebrows .Earlier she observed him taking advantage of her. She was disgusted by his behavior. If he was not her savior she would have already handed him to her bodyguards and made him pay 100 times. .

When he started telling her lie after lie she became very disappointed and thought ‘ Why is everyone I meet turn out to be liars. Grandpa always tells me that I am biased and judgmental towards men .But I am really not .I don’t care if a person is rich or poor all I want is a little bit of honesty and truth.’

John didn’t shy away from making eye contact this time . He stared back at Erika who was observing his every moment keenly. Erika was slightly surprised ‘what happened to him suddenly?’ She couldn’t figure out .
