I was hoping to get results as presented in the attached image
(situation was staged).

I had one song that I wanted to cram into a smaller space. Since all
the rhythms were the same on both voices I decided to put the stems in
the same direction. Opposite stems would have taken too much space. To
get this result I had to use chords.
You don't need chords. Just enter the two lines of music in the same Voice context. Unfortunately, when there's only a single note, you will get an ugly result if you repeat it in both lines of music, so you have to replace one of them by a spacer note.
Your example can therefore be entered as
\version "2.10.0"
upper = \relative c'{ a8 e' e d e a, a d ~ | d c d e c a a4 }
lower = \relative c'{ s8 c c b c s s b ~ | b a b c a ( e ) e4 }

\score{
 \new Voice << \upper \lower >>
}
