77. Our day at Hossman

Hossman used to be a great city that was flooded after almost 1000 years of its existence. The place was special because it had underground shelters and represented the earliest cities of our country.

" Wow, it's so cool. ", Lucas.

" See I told you it will be great. ", Lily.

" But we had to wait for two hours before we finally got a permission card from that office. ", Claire.

The place looks really good. There are underground shelters fenced with iron boards. There are also ruins of boulders, old buildings, and temples here and there. Since they are excavated almost all of these things seem to be underground ...Not many people are here today besides us hence it's very quiet.

" Oh, let us go inside that temple. I have heard that there are many paintings inside that temple. ", Lily.

" Oh paintings. I love that ...", Lucas as he smiled at Lily.

" Give up dude she is not interested. ", Claire.

" Let us go Lily. ", Serena while pushing Lily forward with a light force.

Wow, this temple is huge. Although underground. Its inside structure is not that damaged. The walls of this temple are also painted in many different styles. They represent people fighting, celebrating, and worshiping which is weird. Since it was a temple. There were no paintings or sculptures of God or Goddess.

" It's weird why aren't there any religious paintings in this temple. ", I say.

" Look Myra the man in this painting looks just like you. ", Claire.

" What? ", I looked at the painting and was horrified because it was true.

" Yeah...", Lily.

All of a sudden everyone including Sam started to compare me and the painting. It was made using white, black, and red colors but the facial and physical features of the man were very similar to mine.

" Hold on, it means Myra is reincarnated. ", Lily exclaimed.

" Yeah and this world is magical ...And all of the science...It's nothing but nonsense. ", I say sarcastically.

" No need to be defensive. I was just saying. ", Lily.

" There is nothing special about it. Humans can have similar physical features because of their genetic material. It's just a coincidence. ", I explained.

" And you should not say things like that to science freaks who believe that it's only science that matters. ", Sam retorted.

Man, I hate this guy.

" Look. What did I find on the internet? It is said that people who lived in this civilization didn't believe in God. ", Lily looked on her phone.

" Then what is this place? ", I ask.

" It's not a temple. It is some sort of meeting place like a salon where all people around me used to discuss important matters concerning society. ", Serena.

Oh, I forgot that she loved History.

As we moved around we saw many tools which kept on display and now I noticed that many soldiers are deployed in this place I wonder why?

" So they all used water for many things. ", Lily.

" Yeah, they had boats to transport things, travel, irrigate fields, and even some sort of machines that were run by water and solar energy. ", Serena.

" Man, they were so developed I wonder what happened to them? ", Claire.

" Who knows we can only assume based on certain evidence. ", Serena.

Oh my God. Why didn't I think about it before? I can develop my car model which runs on water and solar energy and once I develop the toy car. I can also dream to build an actual car out of it.

AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO :

" Let us go to a nearby restaurant for lunch ", Lily.

" Yeah ", everyone said in a uson.

" Oh no, I am not hungry. You guys can go I want to go home. I will call a cab. ", I say.

I have to develop my car model then I have to study physics. I haven't completed my dynamics portion properly yet.

" You sure...?", Serena.

" Yeah .", I answer.

" I will tag along with you. ", Sam.

" No need. ", I say.

" Why not? We are headed in the same direction besides we can split fair if we do that. ", Sam.

" Ok, but we will split the money exactly into half. "I say.

" You are so thrifty. Are you sure your father is a billionaire? ", Claire.

" I am leaving ...", I say as I left.

We booked the cab and now I am sitting with Sam who as usual is on s phone, typing something earnestly. Some day he is going to break his neck because of his phone addiction.

" I know I am attractive but you need to stop staring at me. ", Sam looking at me.

"Yeah and if you are attractive then I am Einstine. ", I say matter-of-factly.

" Very funny Myra. You sure know how to talk, don't you? ", Sam.

" I know how to talk but you don't which is sad for a person who is supposed to be a writer. ", I say.

" Why are you so angry at me? ", Sam.

" Why would I be? ", I say.

" You have been fighting with me for some reason. I can't even fathom what is wrong with you. ", Sam.

" I will tell you. First of all, you always act all high and mighty. Acting like you don't care about anything which is okay but then you suddenly start to join the conversation and then disappear altogether. You are very selfish. You ignore and notice people whenever you like without noticing how it affects others. You are always on your phone. You don't care about others ...", I say.

Now that I think about it. He has frustrated me a lot.

" You notice that what you just said is very similar to what you also do, right? ", Sam.

" No, I am not like that ...", I try to justify but before I could say anything he interrupts

" You also ignore people. You also disregard others. What else? You never share anything with others about what you are thinking. You also think only about yourself...", Sam.

Damn, he is right. Why am I so agitated with him when I am also like that? I seriously need to change myself but how.

AFTER A WHILE :

After the heated argument between me and Sam. The atmosphere in the car got very thick. And I think that the driver is very nervous right now.

" So you kids go to the same school. ", the diver says awkwardly.

" Yeah. ", I say.

" You know it's normal to have arguments with your friends and family. It's all part of life. The important thing is to reconcile with each other as much as possible. ", driver.

" We are not friends. " Sam and I say in unison.

" Oo but you see you two act like how close friends usually do. It's very cute and kinda intense. ", the driver says but we don't say anything which makes him silent.
