Gopinath and his little life beyond the time.

Gopinath was boiling the eggs holding it with his nails in the river wearing the anti radiation coat as the sun from the above zoomed rays on his coat and reflected back and also the sun rays from above zoomed on the little egg and water give its heat and turning the slimy liquid inside the layer of crust to solid white & yellow mass, so that gopinath could go back inside his house and eat the white solid mass and the yellow ball while reading his favorite space porn – Sex on lunar moon the Special edition, but now he has to concentrate on the egg and let it boil to the right temperature or all his afford would go in vain and he didn’t want his precious effort to go in vain.
As he was holding the egg with his nails & concentrating on the egg, not minding the heat from the egg to his little fingers which was burning like hell, the sweat inside the anti radiant coat started to slowly rolled down his hairy legs making him uncomfortably itch. He just wanted to wipe off the sweat but he cant, he has to concentrate on the egg. So he pictured the image of him eating an egg in the cold room with the magazine in front & he just hold on to that position.
There was progress in the egg cooking, surely there was progress he could feel it inside him. More over it usually takes 10-15 min to boil an egg in 80 degree centigrade and he is almost near to 9 minutes, “just a couple of minutes to go, maybe” he thought.
“All i need to do is close my eyes and think something beautiful, may the the seductive goddess of venus and these couple of minutes will pass”  as he was imagining this trying to defy reality, his cat with the anti radiation suite came out in search of gopinath and saw him sitting by the river side. So it quickly ran to him and started to rub around its body on to goipinaths back making its meow sound longing for his attention. Usually at these times gopinath would normally cuddle the cat and groom it and leave it back on the floor so that it would get back to its business. But this time there was no response from goipnath, gopinath had problems in his mind, his images of making love with godess of venus were fading away and his mind was slowly being filled with anxiety. Now the cat not getting a response in disapproval started to scrach his back, still with no response it starts to scrach voilently in anger which made goinaths radiant suite get scratches in it – there by the red suns 80 degree heat projecting on to his back. Gopinath holding his mind on to two things, the pain and the ich of rolling sweat was slowly progressing toward his goal, but as the sensation of the heat got felt on his back in some seconds, gopinath snaped out of the control & let go of the egg in the river. He starts running kicking his cat on the way which sirened a long meow and looking behind at the egg which was nicely cooked and flowing away with the waves of the river. He ran toward his pod which opened with a hydrolic sound quicky and shut behind after letting him in. Gopinath quickly commanded chitti to take off the suite and asked for mirror, chitti with its robotic hands took off the suite and sent on it the suite check center after which it would go to his closet and after that chitti rolled down the mirror from the ceiling. He check the burn in the mirror disgusted with its boils projected off the skin, he screamed chitti for medico. In a little a white robot of bin size with small hands gets drops down by chittis robotic hand and quickly in a second opens its red eyes and starts to hovering, scanning gopinath all around and finally halts at the burn, “radiation burn” it says, “how much time” gopinath asks, “3 minutes dressing, 5 minutes auto healing” it says, “8 minutes! just for a normal sun burn?” gopinath exclaims, The robot stays quite. “ok do it” gopinath says.
Gopinath walks down and sits on the hibernation chair, he clicks on the dials and sets the time to 8minutes and puts the mode to healing. He closes his eyes and in couple of seconds gets lost into the void. As gopinath gets hibernated all the other things around in the house starts to work, they get back to their schedule, the cleaner robot starts cleaning, the inspecting robot starts inspecting, the other machines such as hydro coolers start running, and expect him everything around starts to work. The chair slowly moves up and opens itself into flat bed. Two robotic hands from the side of the bed get out and hold gopinath through waist. The robot hover to the side of the bed on to the controls and gives little clicks & turns on the dials, and moves a little back, two robotic hands holding gopinath lift him up and turn him around and hold him in that position.
Gopination at the top, in the air, turned around, naked and in robotic hands. anyone who had seen this would have thought this to be strange, the robot looks at this position for a second and starts to hover near to gopinath and starts working on the burn. It Cutting and sewing and does all the bloody messy things and throwing the biological pieces in the bio trash which was aside being holded by chitti’s robotic hand. It starts dressing the wound, and still making the hydrological sound hovers from one side to another continues its activity.
While this is going on, the cat enters the pod through its own small door and as it enters chitti with its other robotic hand removes the coat and let it wander inside the pod.
