Chapter 2 - Loneliness of Natasha

The very next day, a flight came to India with Natasha and her lifeless dad, for whom she was longing and staring at him whether he would open his eyes. She didn't leave his hands so that he will hold them again to say "I am always here for you!"

Besides Arjun's Junior Williams received them politely but Natasha couldn't understand what is happening around her. Williams now took her to their home in India. Williams is describing that he is taking care of their home. Nor did she reply to him. Even she didn't hear his words. All her eyes are seeing her dad. All her ears are hearing his voice. The sweet words of her dad made her weep more. Her mind resonates with his love, his words and his Astrophysics. The days when she was in his shell. The days when he took her to his lab to show his findings. The day she slept on his lap and the days he was proud of her achievements.

Even the days he had more students to learn from him. The particular day society rejected his studies and findings as wrong. His cry. The very next day he was taken out of the head of ISRO. The days his juniors left him except Williams. The day Ms Michelle found out her dad was suffering from Leukemia. He vomits blood. His healthy body becomes skinny. His legs were amputated. He got his amputated leg infected. Then, ultimately he died. It's all because of his invention Dark radiometer. If he didn't invent it, he would have been alive now! But his dream would be still unfulfilled. Her thoughts rolled.

Besides, Williams took care of every funeral thing. Arjun's funeral was as simple as it could be. Neither the government officials nor his co-workers nor his students came. It was so lonely with only his best friends and relatives of Arjun.

Natasha has been crying all day. After his funeral, all left her except Williams, who was staying there with Arjun for years. All Williams know is Arjun, who made him study as a guardian and biotechnology, which he studied. He gave her hope in life and promised her to be in every part of her life as Arjun was with him.

She forgot everything in her life. Her mouth forgot to swallow the food. Her eyes forgot to blink their lashes and her mind forgot her surroundings. Her ears even forgot to hear it. Though Williams is worried about her, he has a surprise of her life to show her tomorrow. He wants to show her what he thinks is his lifetime achievement or the only meaning of his other than Arjun and Natasha. He wants to repay every gratitude of Arjun to Natasha. He comes to her room with food. She had a slice of apple for God's sake. He said, "We will go to lab tomorrow". She hesitates as she hates to see the damn dark radiometer in her dad's lab. He can't understand why she is hesitating to visit his Biotech lab. But he convinces himself by saying, "He will come by himself!!".
