The Scientific Miracle

"It doesn't matter now; I failed to keep my promise," he screamed, almost close to tears. "We all did. But blaming now wouldn't help. We have to move on." I said. But deep down, I knew we would never be the same again. He mumbled, "I am supposed to be the best scientist, and when it mattered the most, I failed. The moment which should have been my crowning one proved to be my downfall. It's my fault. It should have been me." I argued," How could you have known that the element could be so radioactive? It was her choice. Respect that." "Well, I should have been handling the experiment. But she so much wanted to, so I gave in. The joy on her face had barely faded before her life stopped."I had no response to that. Our team had been researching for almost five years for this moment, only to lose our co-head. They had been together for the past four years. She was my best friend since my school days. It was hard on all of us. But I only said," As long as there is love and memory, there is no true death. She would've wanted all of us to move on. She would have wanted YOU to move on." He only shook his head in despair. "We should continue with our work to honor her. She gave her all to this project and now even her life." He only said," I only hope that we find a way to make this work. We have to find a way to make the element stable so that no one else suffers." This was the moment of truth. I had to tell him the truth. I began warily, "Adam, Alexandra isn't dead yet. The hospital called today. They are saying that she's in a deep trance." He suddenly spun around and said," And you withheld this information from me? How could you do this, Annabeth?" " Well, she only has half a year! I did not want to give you a false ray of hope. But if we work for finding a cure, she'll be back."He pleaded, " Please, let's just start working. A little chance is better than no chance at all. Everything is at stake. But all I need is your help." And my heart broke once again. To see him in grief was devastating. And I would go to hell and back to bring the old smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes. It would be heartwrenching to see him close but yet so far away. But I smiled and said," Sure! We now have a deadline to save your beloved." I may suffer, feel my heart crush and scatter into a million pieces but never come between. This story is theirs; I'm just a side character from their perspective. I only hope they'll both be happy.
