"I'm finally done"
I said as I watched the sleeping replica of El my former lover, friend and companion.
Her pale white skin and dark brown hair was glistening from the dim light of the room her slender legs were very easy to see in the gown she was wearing. I had changed her when I brought her back from my workshop.
She was currently wearing a black floral dress which showed her off in the right places, her brown hair was packed in a simple ponytail I picked this because this was her favourite outfit and personally, I don't dislike it.
Every time her chest rose and fell something shook inside me this was a constant remember of how much I have missed her.
It has been eight years since she left me over something I have no idea about I had tried calling, texting and begging to find out why she left me that way, but she made it her life's mission to keep it away from me.
I occasionally hear stories about her achievements from the people but no more than that.
Eight years later I am the most famous scientist in Helix I make all sort of gadgets and weapons.
Just few days ago I successfully created a gadget that can be used to make a person invisible that will surely help special agents and spies.
But even after all this achievement I still felt terribly empty, I had tried dating a few other girls after El left, but it was of no use nobody could fill the vacuum she left in my heart.
That's when it hit me instead of sulking, why don't I make an El of my own?
That has been what I have been doing secretly for the past eight years and now I have succeeded.
Of course, I tested it out over the years I only finally found out what I was missing then completed it.
My very first Robot creation.
I couldn't help smiling as I watched her this was the face of my former lover and even though she was not her I'm sure she can finally heal my hurting heart.
I have to hide her though at least for now Robots have not yet been legalized in Helix the ruler of Helix Kairos Chen popularly known as Lord Kai has made it clear that we are not yet ready for such tech and the consequences it carries.
This was as a reason of a past event he had witnessed and gone through. Lord Kai hadn't always come from Helix he just happened to be one of the lucky kids the former ruler Liam Nyx had saved in the legendary Nexus.
The city that faced a dreadful end although the former and current ruler never spoke about what happened to Nexus, people speculated that it was the robots hence Kais's dislike for them.
That's why even though Helix has every other gadget and tech they are no Robots.
I personally find that absurd they are so many great things Helix would have achieved with the help of Robots like bringing back a loved one.
Just envision it a world where your loved one is never really gone with just a little programming you can bring them back forever. Of course, they are consequences however is there anything in this world without consequences.
Just thinking about it was making my blood boil.
But soon my thoughts were interrupted by the voice I could spend eternity listening to and still not get tired.
"Where am I?"
I turned sharply only to see Elara looking at me with confused eyes I almost fell on my face when I saw them. To say I haven't missed them would be the biggest lie in history.
"E-Elara" I called slowly walking close to her I watched her look at me with faint wariness before it faded to recognition.
"Axel?" she called smiling I swore I almost had a heart attack. Oh, how I've missed that to be honest I've missed everything about her.
"Elara it's me" I said finally reaching her while reciprocating the smile.
"Axel is that really you?" she asked slowly stretching her hands to touch my face her long lashes fluttering lovingly. I just nodded trying to hold back the tears fighting to fall out.
"I have really succeeded" I thought. She felt so much like El the feel of her hands, the colour of her eyes, the sound of her voice Hell she even smelled like her.
No one would be able to tell her apart from the real one if they were not there while i was creating her, I myself am finding it hard to tell her apart.
There was only one thing I was unable to recreate on this Elara I guess that's what makes El different.
"Are you hungry?" I asked after she dropped her hand, and she nodded
"Let me go prepare you something to eat wait here" I said walking out of the room and closing the door behind me.
I spent thirty minutes preparing something for her and another five serving it and heading back to the bedroom.
I could have easily just picked the food I wanted from the food machine, and
I would have gotten it in a minute. However, I wanted to cook for her that's why I decided against it.
On my way to the bedroom, I kept thinking about the things and places I wanted to tell and take her to but my inability of taking her out would hinder some of that.
It was too risky if someone who knew El saw both of us together it would be very hard to explain and not seeing someone who knew El would be hard looking at how famous she is.
When I finally got to the room and got inside, I saw that Elara had already changed and was currently wearing one of my shirt and joggers while looking around. It looked really good on her, but I couldn't get why she changed.
"You're finally back" she said turning to me and smiling I returned her smile with one of my own before walking over to her. I watched as her eyes traced down to the food I was holding and immediately lit up.
"You're favourite Pasta" I said my smile becoming brighter. I watched her slowly take the food from my hands picked up the fork and took a bite.
As I watched her take a bite from the pasta something swelled inside me suddenly all the countless hours, I spent perfecting her digestive system for her to be able to eat and drink seemed worth it.
"What were you doing?" I asked that was not the question I wanted to ask but one thing at a time.
"Oh, just looking around"
"You have a lot of pictures of us" she said staring at one in particular.
I traced her eyes to what she was looking at and my dark face returned that was the last picture El and I took before she left.
Why was this picture having an effect on her?
I made sure not to add this particular day to her memories since it was the day before she left. So why?
"Are you okay?" I asked noticing the faintest tremble in her eyes as she turned to face me. She forced a smile, but her eyes still held a faint hint of sadness.
"I'm fine" she said her voice barely above a whisper.
"I should go enjoy this delicious meal you prepared" with that she turned and left going to sit down.
I stood silently for a while lingering on that spot different emotions fighting for control within me, I closed my eyes and when I finally got myself, I turned to face her finally asking what I wanted to ask.
"Why did you change"
She stopped eating and raised her face, her eyes meeting mine for a second before turning back to her food in that second, I saw something flash in her eyes. Was that Anger?
"Oh, I didn't like the clothes" she finally replied
"You don't like the clothes?" I asked baffled.
