Today we present his Satire – Love Merger: An Advanced Love Story.
☆ Witful Warmth# 66 ☆
☆ Satire ☆ Love Merger: An Advanced Love Story… ☆ Dr. Suresh Kumar Mishra ‘Uratript’ ☆
It was a golden, high-tech morning in the year 2050. The atmosphere in the neighborhood’s “Oxygen Park” was unique. Two elderly men sat there with oxygen cylinders on their shoulders, opening the “files” of their vintage memories. They were reminiscing about the old days when lovers would stand outside houses and perform “manual tasks” like throwing pebbles at windows. Today, however, was the era of remote romance and cloud-based attachments.
Nearby, a young man named Alex-Paul was checking data on his smart glasses and sighing deeply. Seeing this, his friend Cyber-Sylvester asked, “What’s wrong, bro? Did your girlfriend log out with someone else, or did your emotional cloud crash?”
Alex gave a philosophical smile, looking like a man who had just suffered a massive spiritual loss. He said, “No man, the tragedy is that she’s back! I sent my partner, Zara-Quantum, on a three-month ‘free trial’ to a neighbor so she could upgrade her exploration skills. But now she says she wants to renew my subscription! This is total backwardness! She should have been progressive and multi-tasking. She should have been making HD reels of strangers, but instead, she’s back here talking about making tea and being ‘loyal.’ I’m thinking of suing her in the Emotional Consumer Court!”
Cyber-Sylvester comforted him, “Don’t worry, society is in a transition phase. Slowly, she’ll learn to be ‘open-source’ with others.”
Actually, Alex’s pain was twofold. He was hurt because Zara was “dumping” him at home instead of launching him into the international market. He wanted Zara to “offer” him at a high-profile Metaverse kitty party so he could realize his global marketing value. He was annoyed that while the whole world followed the “sharing economy,” Zara treated him like a private asset or household furniture. He dreamed of a modern type of bravery—where Zara would send him on a date with another woman, lock the door from the outside, and live-stream the data to win a “Gold Medal for Progressive Partners.”
Meanwhile, pseudo-intellectuals were holding a seminar at a five-star center. They claimed old-fashioned lovers were “unprofessional” because they got jealous and violent. A “Relationship Algorithm Specialist” shouted from the stage, “Friends! Real manhood isn’t about holding her in your arms; it’s about live-streaming and gathering social media likes! A lover who doesn’t shortlist a second lover for his girlfriend is not a lover—he’s a ‘Love-Terrorist’!”
Finally, Alex gave Zara-Quantum an ultimatum: “Zara, if you don’t go on date with a stranger by next week and send me the ‘Behind the Scenes’ photos and sensory data, I will block you from my life’s friend-list forever!”
Poor Alex just wanted his girlfriend to join the mainstream and be “evolved.” By 2050, this new relationship model was seen as a sustainable solution to old crimes. Possessiveness was now declared a serious mental illness, and “sharing” was the highest virtual virtue. New-age lovers like Alex believed that murder was a “waste of resources and data loss,” while sharing a girlfriend was a long-term social investment.
Alex’s mind had become so “global” that he started looking for new paths for himself. He created a profile on the “Dating App (Ultra-Pro-Max Version).” He layered so many AI masks and digital filters on his face that if his own DNA report saw him, it would mistake him for a tourist from another planet and ask for dollars! Under all that digital makeup, he had forgotten his real identity.
That night, he saw a profile: Neo-Night-Rider. The avatar was so magical and shiny that Alex’s heart started racing at gigabyte speed. He thought this was the perfect stranger to “acquire” for Zara to boost his social standing. He hit Super-Like, Mega-Like, and even God-Like! He had no idea who was behind that digital screen.
Eventually, Zara succeeded in her mission to find a new boyfriend. Alex was so happy he started dancing in his Virtual Reality suit and distributed “Digital Sugar-Free Laddu” coupons to the whole neighborhood. “My Vision 2050 is a success!” he cheered.
Just then, Zara video-called him. “Alex darling, your recommendation worked! I found my secondary partner—and guess what? You recommended him yourself by Super-Liking him last Sunday! Meet your new relative and my new project!”
Zara turned the camera. Alex’s eyes nearly popped out. Sitting on the sofa was his own younger brother, Sonu-Cyber, wearing Alex’s favorite T-shirt and grinning.
“Sonu? You?” Alex stammered. “But I liked Neo-Night-Rider who had six-pack abs and a robotic supermodel face!”
Sonu-Cyber laughed. “Big brother, in 2050, faces are just ‘display ads.’ I bought that filter on the Dark Web. You taught me that hiding your identity is ‘progress.’ So I thought, why let the family wealth go outside? When I saw your Super-Like, I took it as a divine sign for a family collaboration!”
Alex was an “evolved” man of 2050. After a moment of confusion, he started laughing loudly. “Wow! This is maximum output! At least now I don’t have to pay for petrol, Wi-Fi data, or restaurant bills for her dates. I can monitor this ‘in-house project’ myself. And Sonu, you’ll make the smart-coffee tomorrow because you’re the ‘Intern Lover’ now!”
But Zara had one more bomb to drop. “Alex, Sonu has a return gift for you. He matched your profile with ‘Madam-Moon’ from our neighborhood—the one who has had three divorces and five renewals. She’s inviting you for a candle-light dinner to show you her ‘vintage emotional data’ collection. Sonu says everyone must do their ‘sharing duty’ to be a holistic family.”
Alex’s eyes filled with joy. “Amazing! A hybrid model of old traditions and new progress!”
Suddenly, a Robotic Police officer arrived at the door. “Alex sir, your brother Sonu and girlfriend Zara have ‘logged you out’ of this house. They deleted your profile from the ‘agreement’ and rented your room on the Metaverse to a foreign partner. You are now a ‘Freelance Lover.’ Please find a new software and a new roof.”
Alex looked at his phone, sighed, and smiled. “No problem! At least now I am ‘unlimited’ and ‘unbound!’ Rejection is just a system update.”
Outside, Madam-Moon was honking her electric scooter. Alex ran to sit on the back seat. In the morning of 2050, Alex proved that as long as the “sharing data packet” is active, resources and emotions never end—whether it’s a room or a heart.
The elderly neighbor watched this, ripped off his oxygen mask, and thought, “Death is better than this ‘progressive’ air.” But Alex just waved goodbye and disappeared with Madam-Moon.
It’s true—no one lost here; everyone just got “shared.” Whether Alex was looted or became “globally free” is a decision only the algorithms of 2050 can make.
