Paper World

       2052, the Earth of new Revolution. In this decade, the car flies in the sky and robots become an essential part of our diurnal life.

Alexia: Jonas, your last book “Delusion of Mars” is finally published. Today, you promised me to tell the story.

Jonas: I know. Now, prepare my dinner and I'll tell you after dinner.

      I am 62 years old, Jonas Andrew. I am a famous writer in this generation. Alexia?

Alexia is my robot, named by my favorite person. Wait, I'll tell you after dinner.

Finally, I completed my dinner. Alexia and I sit on the sofa. I on the recorder chip in her head to record our conversation. Now, I am ready, Alexia.

Alexia looked at him with a glance and said: Tell me about Mars and another popular question is, 'How you know all of this about Mars?'

I get up, stand beside the window, and stared at lonely the sky: I am a man of Mars. Because I was born on Mars.

               25^th July 2020, People were very excited about the NASA leap. The 6 members of NASA went to Mars for living and observation. Many of them thought they will die. But, the reality is, one died on Mars and this is my mom. After 3 months, my mom realized that she's pregnant. On Mars, there has a lack of Oxygen. That's why they lived in a tent full of Oxygen and zero gravitation. On earth, they all had to wait for my birth. Finally, my mother was screaming for pain. They all tried to save her. She sacrificed herself for me after 2 minutes of my birth. I was born with a big lung and thin bones for lack of Oxygen and Gravitation. Hence, I spend my childhood on Mars with Ms. Veronica.

She liked my mother and the friend of my mother, Ms. Elizabeth. Ms. Veronica taught me essential things about Mars. I spend 17 years of my life there. After a long year, she became sick and bleeding from her nose. Then, some people came from the earth and rescued us. When I came to the earth and it's quite difficult to breathing. Then, the doctor said, ‘The earth’s atmosphere is not good for me for my lung. ” I need to go back after her recovery with them. But I want to live on Earth. After one night, I fled the place. I think they are still trying to find me.

Alexia: Why you did this? You know you’ll die for this.

Jonas: Not to mention it. I know well. Oh, I forget to tell you an important thing.

  When my mom died, she holds a half picture of her and my father. My father's side was burnt and no one could realize his face. But, the main question is:

How she got the picture from her bag with her condition? And another one,' How the portrait was burnt?' There is no way to produce fire.

Everyone said, 'It's a miracle.' From my perspective, I don't think like that. With the half-burnt picture, I came into the earth to find out my father. That's why I run away from the NASA agency that night.

Alexia: Then?

Jonas: That night, everything was new for me to earth. People all busy with their work. Few people were traveling in the sky. After seeing this, I was fully surprised. Often, I think I don't belong this to place.

I was walking the street by seeing the amazing things. At 2 am, everyone was almost sleeping. But, the night is illuminated by street lights. Then, I went onto the roof at midnight. Suddenly, I found a girl standing on the pillar. Then, I went to stand beside the standing girl and asked her, ‘Why are standing like that? Is it part of the earth culture?’ I know I am insane.

The girl become stupendous and said, 'Are u mad? I tried to suicide.' After saying this, she tried to jump from the pillar. But, instantly I grabbed her hand and pulled. We fall on the floor.

            We saw each other. Suddenly, I touch her face.

The girl slap on my hand,’ what are you doing? Why you pulled me? ’

Jonas: I save your life.

The girl becomes angry and said: I want to die. The world didn't deserve me.

Jonas was looking at her eyes and smiled: But yes, your beauty candle deserves another level on this earth.

The girl shy and said: What are you doing this night? I never see you in this apartment. Are you new?

Jonas: I am new in this World.

The Girl: Nice joke. My name is Alexia.

The robot Alexia said: What! Wait, It’s my name.

Jonas: yes buddy, I gave your name at her name. She is so special in my life.

Robot Alexia: Then?

Jonas: We started to talk to each other. I asked her, "Why suicide?”

Alexia: My father is a great scientist. This all-digital world almost made my father and their group. At my age of 8, my father attempts suicide. Why he did this I don't know? But, he builds half part of the Time Travel machine before his death. In his life, he always wants to meet with his lover. I remember one thing that he told me she didn't live here and want to meet her with the time machine.

Jonas: Where she lives? What about your mother?

Alexia: I don’t know. Another side, my mom died in a car accident at my age of almost 2. I don't know exactly. My father didn't understand that emptiness.

Jonas: Sorry, Then?

Alexia: It's ok. I worked on my father's half-project for 4 years. But, I failed. I can go to the future but not the past. I lost all money for this project.

Jonas: Come with me. See this busy world. They are all playing the same thing every day without any obsession, anxiety. Like a paper. I don’t think, ‘Suicide is not a solution in this Paper World.’ Let’s see your project.

        Because Ms. Veronica taught him about the machine and technology. But Alexia didn’t believe that he came from Mars. Day by day, it’s difficult for Jonas to live on the earth. He can’t breathe properly.

       After that Alexia brings him to William who helped her to make the project. William is intelligent and good-looking. Alexia and William was the best friend. But firstly, I thought of another thing. Alexia was 8 years older than him. Besides, the police searched for him. That’s why he didn't leave the room and always working on the project.

One day, Jonas was bleeding from his nose. He was fully surprised and run into the bathroom.

Alexia: What’s happened, Jonas? Are you okay?

Jonas: I am fully fine. Just a little bit of sneeze.

Alexia: Ok. Come fast, Waiting for the dinner.

Jonas clears his face and smiles at her: yeah buddy.

      Jonas almost learned about human behavior after watching a lot of movies. After a few days, they made the "Time Travel Machine" fully. They tried a few times and succeed. After all, William went to his mom because of her illness.

      One night, Alexia came closer to Jonas touched the lips with the finger, and whisper to his ears, "Who are you? Tell me the truth."

Jonas slowly touched her face: I told you before. I am the man of Mars who was born on Mars. Believe me or not.

She broke the vase with her hand and loudly said: Why people tell me to lie. Today, the police came to the house for searching for you. But I told them a lie. Ok done, tell me your mother’s name.

Jonas: People may tell you a lie but I don't. Ms. Elizabeth.

   Alexia on the laptop and searched her name.

Alexia pointed to the screen: Watch Jonas, there is no identity about her name. Now, please tell me, you are so wise and intelligent. Hence, you helped with this project. I am always grateful to you.

Jonas said loudly: Believe me. Why should I tell you to lie?

Because of saying loudly, he felt pain from his lungs and sat down on the floor.

Alexia was frightened and came beside him: Yes, I believe you. Sorry.

Jonas said softly said: I know you don't believe what I said. But, believe me,' I love you, I want to die beside you. You are the best thing in my world.'

Alexia becomes shy and hesitantly: What are you saying? I am elder than you.

Jonas:

         “Age is nothing but a number. It is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.”

Do you love me?

Alexia: I felt love for you when I first saw you and you save my life. When you helped me to realize why I should live in this world.

Jonas: Oh, my love, my lover. But, I can’t live……

Alexia whisper: Sssh! You talked too much. My body can’t loud the sound without getting pleasure, Idiot.

         After the night, there was a lot of bleeding from his nose and Alexia noticed it. She started to scream and asked, “Are you okay?”

Jonas turned to her side. His face becomes darker and quietly said,' I am fine. My lung can't work properly. Can you keep my one request?'

She put her hand on his head and repeated, ’Yes Jonas. Tell me. You’ll get well soon.’

Jonas: I came here to find out my father. There is a half-burn picture with my mom and dad in my pocket. Please bring this picture.

Alexia brings the picture and said: How it got to burn? It’s quite impossible.

Jonas: I don’t know. Finally, you believe my word now.

Alexia keeps her head on his chest: I believe what I see. But loves make me blind and deaf. Now, I am watching by your eyes, listening by your ears.

            After 2 days, He became sicker.

Jonas: I have no time. Bring the time machine.

Alexia: Where will we go?

Jonas: Mars when I was born. But, I will go alone.

Alexia insistent: I must go. You are not fine at all.

Jonas: This machine is made for the earth, not for Mars. If you go, you may die.

Alexia: I love you. My life will become lifeless without your existence.

Jonas: Ok. Bring the machine.

She brings the machine. Jonas wrote the place and time on the machine and said grab my hand strongly.

          Then, the machine produces a lot of electricity. Suddenly, we drop on the top floor of Mars tent and we could hear the screams of my mom. Quickly, we hide behind the door and watching everything.

Jonas whisper: My mom is looking pretty. Oh, Ms. Veronica is so much young.

Then Jonas looked at her, ‘why do you not speaking?’

Alexia replied: Is she your mom? Are you sure?

Jonas: Definitely. I see my mom's face in the frame but never my father's face.

Alexia smiled: You should respect me. I am your half-elder sister.

Jonas: Bloody hell. How?

Alexia: Ms. Elizabeth is the woman whom my father loved most. I saw her several times with my father after my mom died. Your mom helped my father last project and then she went to Mars. Now, I understand why he attempts to suicide. Because of her death.

Jonas gazed at her: Understood my love. See that, my mom took me in her arm. So cute scenery!

 Every member is leaving the cabin with a happy face.

Alexia: It’s the best time to talk with her. They climb and reach Ms. Elizabeth.

Elizabeth smiled: I know you've come here by your father’s insane machine. He has a big dream with this machine. You have grown up a lot and look pretty. Where is your father, Alexia?

Alexia hesitated: He is too busy with his work. He'll come later.

Elizabeth: Take the baby and go to your world.

But, Alexia can’t touch the baby but she can see him. I also tried but couldn’t.

Elizabeth: Because Jonas has a past in this Mars. Who is this boy?

Jonas opened his mouth but Alexia stopped him and replied: He is my boyfriend. We read together.

Elizabeth touched his cheeks and said: May God bless you. Bring the picture from this bag.

Jonas follows the instruction and finally, he can see the full picture of his family. He gave the picture Alexia.

Alexia excited: It’s my father and you.

Elizabeth: Yes, give me the picture. I want to see it once more time. Then take the picture and give it to your father.

               But, when Alexia and Elizabeth touched that picture, suddenly produce a lot of electricity and then fire.

Elizabeth loudly said: Pulled the picture fast.

     After that, my mom died for lacking Oxygen. We found ourselves floating into the electricity air.

Alexia was screaming. I cried, touched her hand, and replied: Everything will be fine.

            After few minutes, we dropped on the empty street. Alexia holds my hand and whisper: I have no time for living. You have to take my lung after my death. The world needs to you.

   “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”

Bye, my dear love.

I have no power to cry. Then, everyone come beside us. After one month I found myself in the hospital and alexia spot dead.

Robot Alexia: Why she died?

Jonas drinking water and swallowing: She destroyed her future. I destroyed 20 years in my life means I came after 20 years. There is no existence in these 20 years in my life. The main factor is, ‘The Mars is 200 years behind Earth and become slower.’ That's why NASA destroyed all identities of my mom and kept this blunder a secret.

          Almost drawn, I stand beside the window. Alexia sees the sky, full of red. The birds are chirping. There is no sign of revolution. The earth is looking beautiful without revolution.

              Alex, I lost everything for this revolution. But, my lover’s still alive in my body and I am still breathing with her lung.

          We want what we cannot have in this Paper World. One day, people will twist the earth for their desire like paper.
