“What do you mean by that?” Mr. Arnold, one of Akash’s friends who also owned tons of business across the building asked.
“The truth is that Nexumcore, the superhuman AI which every Robotic company is affiliated with, is having a glitch and soon enough those robots that are linked with Nexumcore will start having issues, thereby leading to leaving other robots in a bind. That is why I am here to announce to the world that the Maratha Industries are not what they seem to be anymore!”
The revelation sparked murmuring amongst the guests as Akash smiled sheepishly.
“How dare you say nonsense about my company?!” Rohan barged into the hall as everyone turned around to look at him. Rohan’s eyes caught Arjun whom he nodded at as he advanced forward and stood in the middle of the hall where everyone could get a better glimpse of him.
“Isn’t that the chairman of Maratha Industries?”
“How does he have the guts to show himself like this?”
“Isn’t he ashamed or what?”
Loud whispering continued as Rohan pretended he didn’t hear any as he turned his gaze to Akash.
“There is nothing wrong with Nexumcore,” Rohan said with a stoic expression.
“I have proof, Rohan. Don’t be a killjoy and just sell your company to me. I have engineers who are capable of correcting the glitch on Nexumcore,” Akash said confidently as Arjun burst into laughter, everyone turned around to look at him.
“Who is the best person to correct Nexumcore Glitch than its true creator?” He asked as everyone stared at him suspiciously.
“Stop with your madness instantly! How can you claim to be the creator of Nexumcore?!” Akash berated furiously as another murmuring was sparked, now everyone’s attention was glued on Arjun.
Because why not? He was the creator of the legendary Nexumcore!
“And how dare you lie that you can fix Nexumcore glitch when you yourself claims it can only be fixed by its true owner?” Arjun asked as Akash scoffed.
“Is this Maratha Industries' plot to make everyone believe Nexumcore will be fixed? By bringing in a sham creator?” Akash asked but Arjun didn’t reply.
“Everyone! Can you see how shrewd Maratha Industries can be? How can you trust this kind of company with these people as its owner?” He asked, looking from one face to another. He had intentionally invited those whose Robotic company is affiliated with Nexumcore. He was going to use their panic to instill fear in Rohan to sell by all means!
“This is wrong, Mr. Rohan,” the chairman of AJ Robotics came forward. “If it’s true that Nexumcore is having issue and would soon start affecting Robots that are affiliated with it, you should have given us an explanation! Or find an issue!”
“I concur!” Another person from the crowd who is also an owner of a company affiliated with Nexumcore said.
“If this is true, then it looks like a breach of contract! A fraud in business! It seems to me that the owners of Maratha industries, whom the respectable guests in the room respect, are not as trustworthy as they seem to be!” The politician, the minister of finance said as others nodded in support while Akash watched the drama in relish. Everything was going according to plan.
“I will prove that I am truly the creator of Nexumcore but in….”
“Shut the hell up!” Meera blurted in interruption as she approached Arjun.
“This man is a complete fraud! Trying to make a name for himself where he is not needed!” She gritted her teeth in rage as Arjun chuckled softly. “Why the hell do you think I am a fraud, Meera? You of all people know my abilities since you’re my ex-wife.” Arjun intentionally sparked that memory in order to make Meera feel uncomfortable.
“Exactly! You are so shrewd that I had to divorce you, fool! Claiming to be Nexumcore’s creator?” She scoffed. “You dream too big.” She hissed and turned to the crowd. “This man here has been married to me for the past few years and I know better what he is capable of….” She announced as Arjun folded his arms, feeling relaxed more than ever.
He had somehow expected this, but deep down, he knew he was going to have the last laugh.
“In the past, Arjun worked as a robotic engineer in my company. But then….” She narrowed her eyes to look at him disdainfully. “I didn’t know he was just a mere loser who stole the ideas of the junior robotic engineers in the company.” She smirked and continued. “Because of the fact that he was married to me, he would threaten the team and take credit for the work created by the junior engineers.” She pointed at Arjun with so much hate in her eyes. “This man manipulated them until I found out one day.” She dropped her hands down and continued. “To think, I let him be because I loved him. Then I later found out he was incompetent and also cheating on me with my maid! Just one person has so many characters that are irritable! How can you all trust him?!” Her voice reverberated in the hall as everywhere went silent.
“I can’t believe this!” AJ’s group chairman snapped, breaking the seemingly unending silence. “I can’t believe Maratha Industries will repay us like this!”
“If Maratha Industries doesn’t give everyone an explanation, I will make sure the company closes down!” The minister of finance threatened as Akash’s smile broadened. Things were getting more interesting.
His eyes met Meera's as they both winked at each other. Meera's intervention was also their plan.
“We are waiting, Mr. Rohan. Give us an explanation. How do you intend to fix this issue?” Akash asked with raised cocky brow. “You should agree to see quickly. You have made everyone so tense. I mean if you keep insisting that loser can fix Nexumcore….” He briefly gestured at Arjun. “You are going to continue to look like a fool. Is that what you want?” Akash prompted with a mocking tone.
“I said I will fix Nexumcore, you scumbags!” Arjun’s voice broke through again, this time everyone stared at him in wonder, the scorn and disrespect replaced with wonder at the authority his voice carried.

Akash couldn't shake off the feeling of fear he got from Arjun's words. How was he so confident that he'd fix Nexumcore? "How do you intend to do that?" Akash squinted in a fit to hide the fear in his eyes."Nexumcore has so many glitches Arjun, stop being delusional. Every affiliated AI will get affected by this glitch if it doesn't get fixed. Just accept the fact that Maratha industries are crumbling and let me take over. " Akash threw a glance at Meera who gave him a satisfactory smile.Things were playing out just the way they had expected.A smirk creeped upon Arjun's face, "Your ears must be malfunctioning. I'll repeat, I will fix Nexumcore. In fact, I have." Meera glared in disbelief, "What nonsense is this? I don't believe it." "Yes, that's right. We don't believe you, prove it to us." AJ's group chairman suggested."Yes, he can't just tell us and expect us to believe. Show us the evidence." Another Ai group chairman added.And so the hall was in chatters. But Arjun remain

Akash stared at Meera in surprise, "Why'd you do that?"Meera rolled her eyes at him, "Why wouldn't I? You just lost everything. My whole plan is ruined because of your silly mistake and you ask why I pushed you? Pfft." She scoffed as she stepped closer to him."Looking at you right now, I see no difference between that miserable Arjun and you." She added.Akash racked his brain trying to figure out how to respond to Meera's change in behavior. "Meera! You really compare me to your ex because of my business decline? I thought you loved me, so you were only after the Maratha industries?"Meera's lips curved into an evil smile, "Love? You have to be joking. Nothing matters to me more than money and power and since you failed in helping me get what I want, I might as well just get rid of you already. You're useless to me."Akash's brows clanked without his realization, "What do you mean by that?" "It's over Akash, I'm breaking up with you." These words hit Akash so hard that he felt hi

Rohan quickly picked up the files, "uh nothing I was just making sure they were complete." Arjun didn't buy his excuse, his suspicion started growing. Rohan was definitely up to something."Complete? Were any of the papers missing?" "No..I mean yes …what I meant was I was just checking if the papers were intact, you know? Making sure everything is in order." Rohan stuttered, trying to make the perfect excuse.Arjun was no fool. He could see through Rohan, good enough to understand he was lying right now. Rohan tried to change the topic before silence filled the room, "aren't you supposed to be at the meeting? Why are you out here so soon?" Arjun walked into the office, his right hand tucked into his pants. He didn't stop walking until he got to his seat, "Meeting postponed." "Ah…I see. Well now that you don't have any work, why don't you just go through these sorted files? This one needs your signatures on them." Rohan said, extending the same file to Arjun.Arjun took the file f

The attention of everyone in the hall turned in the direction of the voice.“Who are you?” Darmesh questioned“Come on stage Purab.” Arjun ordered.In few walks, Purab joined Arjun on stage.“Mr Purab here is a trained detective. I started suspecting Rohan few days ago when he tampered with my files. Since then, he helped me monitor rohan’s movement. So i’ll let him do the talking.” Arjun gave way for Purab to present his evidence.Rogan's body produced more sweat than normal. He looked so jittery at the moment but he knew better than trying to exit the event.“And that video shows how Mr Rohan created a fake profile to deceive Mr Arjun. This was his last plan. to tell him about some investor who was willing to invest in Nexumcore with a hundred million dollars, get Mr Arjun interested and then secure ownership to Maratha industries while pretending to be business partners with him.”Mr purab’s last words put everyone in silence. “They were right when they said never to trust a book

“Ah!” Rohan cried as he regained balance on his feet. He turned to see who threw the vase and his eyes met an enraged Meera. Meera threw another vase but Rohan dodged it.“Have you gone crazy? What are you trying to do? How’d you even get here? ”Rohan asked all at once in annoyance. Meera pulled him by the collar, “Yes i have gone crazy. Give me my money! I know you’ve hidden it somewhere so you can have it all to yourself and i’m willing to spare a few dollars, just give me my money! I’ll be ruined if you don’t give it back.”Rohan pushed her away, freeing himself from her grip. “I already told you i don’t have any money with me okay? Stop bothering me already.” Meera trembled in fear, her hands were shaky. “No no no, this can’t be happening. This certainly cannot happen! My life, my career, my status... All of it! It’s gone! No!” She fell on her knees in tears.Rohan threw an irritated look at her. “Stop overreacting okay? You’re not the only one who incurred losses okay? I was g

Meera raised her hand to strike Arjun but he caught her hand mid air."You want to hit me? Try it again and I'll make sure your arms are disconnected from their sockets." He threatened, his voice sharp.Arjun flinged her hand away from his, throwing them in the officers direction. "Take her away. And make sure she never steps her feet in this premises again." Meera was enraged, "You dare to treat me like this? I'll make you pay Arjun. I promise to ruin you." Arjun scoffed, "Empty threats. Do your job guys." Meera glared at the officers who gripped her arms immediately, "Hey, I demand you let me go! Who gave you the right to touch me like this? If you don't let me go, I swear I'll arrest you two." Arjun heard her voice fade away as he got into the car. He seemed unstoppable at the moment, he had the wealth and power he needed to deal with whoever was bold enough to go against him.The head to Maratha industries…He finally got the recognition he had been trying to avoid and now he

Tell me another joke.” She scoffed.Miss Arya smiled as she moved closer to Riya, “Why'd you think the customers gasped from the news on their phone? I saw everything. That's why they all went quiet, look around.” Riya surveyed the room, her gaze darting from person to person.She was right. Riya moved her gaze back to the woman in front of her, she was at a loss for words.Seeing the situation, Miss Arya shook her head in disappointment.“You should never judge a book by its cover, Miss Riya. You talked so rudely to my boss and now I'm afraid I'll have to…” “Miss Arya.” Arjun's sharp voice cut in.“I'll handle it myself.” With a quick clap, Arjun ordered the officers and his secretary to leave.Riya's face grew pale from the embarrassment.

Arjun saw the garden where Kavita was caring to her flowers from his study. The vista was bathed in a warm glow from the sun, and he felt calm almost automatically. Though their road had been long and difficult, they had negotiated it hand in hand. He had a gentle knock on the door. He said, turning to find who it was, "Come in."Entering the room was their son vivaan. He wore his father's will and the eyes of his mother. " dad, do you have a minute?"Always for you, lad. What then is on your mind?Raj settled down across from his father. "I have been considering the next major initiative for our foundation. There is a fresh project to supply Northern Indian far off villages with pure water. Though it is a big effort, I believe it is well worth it.Arjun slanted forward, his curiosity sparked.

Sitting at their kitchen table, Arjun and Kavita were softly illuminated by the early morning sun across the room. Papers and tablets abound on the table, each one loaded with ideas for their most recent projects. Though they had even more aspirations, the Global Youth Council was flourishing."Arjun became quite hopeful as they hung up the phone. "This is the way we produce actual change. Through cooperation, appreciation of local knowledge, and integration with our technologies."Their partnership with Dr. Hassan marked only the start. They contacted like-minded experts throughout the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. Every area brought unique difficulties, but also great chances for learning and development.After a tough day of meetings, Arjun and Kavita sat on their porch one evening enjoying the cool wind. "We've come a long way," Kavita replied gently. "Still, there's a lot to do."Arjun held her hand. "And we'll do it one step at a time, one other. Like we have always done

Arjun and Kavita sipped in the living room of their estate over a stack of letters from individuals all around the world. These letters offered stories of how their work had changed countries, towns, even personal lives. Kavita picked up a letter written by a small Indian child. "Arjun, listen to this. Thanks to your foundation, I was able to pursue my passion of being an engineer and show up for class. I appreciate you believing in women just like me.'"Arjun grinned cosily. Kavita, that's lovely. These letters help us to remember the reason for our activities.Now a young guy driven by social justice and technology, Vivaan walked carrying a tablet. "Mom, Dad, you really have to see this.

The large meeting room of the company hummed with a symphony of many dialects and languages as they prepare for the seminar. Arjun stood at the head of the polished table, a globe mapped on the screen behind him. "Welcome, everyone," he said, his voice exuding a warmth that cut across the niceties of the scene. "It is a privilege to welcome here today representatives from the African Union, the United Nations, and other NGOs. Castle City has shown great benefit from our AI-driven conflict resolution solutions; we are keen to expand their application.Rising from the African Union, a tall woman with vivid headwrap raised her hand. "Mr. Arjun, we have quite keenly watched your development. The Sahel area is seeing growing strife; we think your technology could revolutionize things."Arjun nodded, "We know every area is different even if we share your hope. We are not providing a universal fix here. Our method consists in customizing the technology to fit the particular political and cu

The lovely couple "Arjun and Kavita" were enjoying coffee at their kitchen table discussing their daily schedules as the early sun softly shone over Castle City. The aroma of freshly prepared coffee blending with bread and scrambled eggs created an ambient interior space."Vivaan has been so captivated with his most recent project," Kavita replied, flashing a smile. he reminds me of you, you were also like that.Arjun nodded and lay down his cup. "His degree of fervor is quite remarkable. It is making me think of an idea Kavita. That energy should be directed to produce something timeless. What about a mentoring program for young people intrigued in artificial intelligence ethics and technology?Kavita's eyes came alive. "That's a brilliant concept, Arjun! We may offer instruments and direction to help define the upcoming generations. Imagine the difference we could bring about.Arjun leaned back; ideas were already racing through his head.

As the couple and the team kept dissecting the encrypted communication as their heads were racing with the urgency of the matter. The message suggested an urgent threat to their research and facilities, and they understood they had to act right now to preserve all they had so laboriously created.Arjun replied, fingers speeding across the keyboard as he accessed their security systems, "We need to act quickly." "Let's schedule a meeting including our IT team and top security experts."Kavita nodded and grabbed her phone to begin making calls. "I will get Ramesh and the IT crew here straight away."Within an hour the lab was humming with activity as their most reliable team members crowded about. Among the first to arrive were Priya, their main IT technician, and Ramesh, director of security."What is the circumstances?" Ramesh questioned, his tone austere.Arjun went over the encrypted communication and any threat with the staff. "We must improve our security protocols and guarantee t

The day begin with Arjun sitting on his seat with his computer screen softly lighting his face. As he went over the most recent results from their artificial intelligence effort, the hum of the lab equipment provided a soothing background noise. With Vivaan in her arms and the toddler's eyes wide with inquiry, Kavita walked inside the room."Look who wanted to visit Papa," Kavita remarked, grinning as she laid Vivaan down.Arjun's face exploded. "Hey friend, What have you been doing today?Vivaan toddled over to Arjun and stretched for the vibrantly coloured screen diagrams. What's that, Papa?Arjun got his son on his lap. "We are working on a project here to benefit others. Do you wish to see?"With small hands clutching Arjun's arm, Vivaan nodded excitedly. Watching them, Kavita felt love and pride surge in her heart.Vivaan listened carefully as Arjun broke out the diagrams into understandable language; his apparently limitless interest. Kavita came to sit with them and lightly res

Arjun and Kavita moved into their new house feeling contentment and calm. The estate was everything they had dreamed of its magnificent architecture and amazing vistas. Every chamber promised fresh memories, exciting adventures, and a loving future.One evening, Kavita looked to Arjun with a reflective look when they were seated on their balcony seeing the sunset. "We have gone through a lot together, Arjun. The distance we have come from is astounding.Arjun grinned and cupped her hand in his. "It has been somewhat the trip. Now is also the moment to begin a fresh chapter. Kavita, what do you wish to undertake going forward?She slanted back, thinking about his query. "I want to concentrate on turning this house into a home. Let us begin by organising a housewarming celebration. We might invite colleagues, relatives, and acquaintances. It will be a great approach to show them our satisfaction.Arjun responded, "That sounds perfect." "Let us create it."In the next days, they were bus

As Arjun and Kavita head towards their honeymoon's first stop, the plane shot upward. Seeking to build lifelong memories and experiences together, they had selected a variety of unusual sites, places neither had been before.Looking out the window, Kavita watched the clouds drift by. "this is amazing, Arjun. It still amazes me that simply the two of us are at last here.Arjun squeezed her hand and grinned warmly. "We have long awaited this. Now is our time to savour and discover.The Maldives was their first destination. Painted beaches and glistening clean waterways greeted them with open arms. Gentle waves lapped at their feet as they strolled hand in hand along the coast."Look at this place," Kavita remarked with happy glistening eyes. "Like a piece of paradise."Arjun nodded, staring squarely at her. "it is. But right now, you are the true heaven.Their days were spent snorkelling, touring the colourful coral reefs, and dining romantically under the stars. One evening they were s
