A MISTAKE OF SWARTZCHILD RADIUS

Day : 37 contd

Michael , Valeria and other engineers began investigating collider .... They had to measure its radius , length and surface area .

They decided to coat  inner surface of the collider with some special material ....Everyone else  left the main cell ...Only Valeria and Michael were there for now ....

MICHAEL: So looks like she told you everything ...
VALERIA : None of your business...
MICHAEL: I know all of you hate me but what Layla did isn't great either ....If you ...
VALERIA : Don't you dare compare yourself with her ( glaring ). Whatever she did was  so as to save the ZERN .

MICHAEL : And why did she did that ...For you ? No ...Its because this research centre is more important for her ...More important than anyone and anything in her life ....And I also did what I did for achieving something important to me   ...

VALERIA : You know what you sound like ?
MICHAEL : ( clearly confused ) What ?
VALERIA: Like some criminal who tries to make justification for his crime...( bitterly).

   With that Valeria left the cell...Usually Layla doesn't get angry but what Michael said really got on her nerves . She needed to calm down . Hence she left for a walk .
Everyone had evacuated the area .

Except for some people . There were still some elderly women who were there . They had refused to left their homeland ...No matter what . You can call it their stubbornness if you like but that is how people at old age are they want to hold on to things they have ...

Not only things but also people that are by their side. There was a an old woman  walking on the dusty road ,wearing handmade monkey cap and muffler  ...   Valeria could see her back . It was really cold outside ...But she was still strolling around .

Probably to purchase some grocery ...She was walking ahead of VALERIA but somehow this sight really calmed her down . She forgot all her worries but felt cold . She wasn't properly dressed for the winter . Suddenly the old woman dropped something before she would bow down to pick it up .

Layla quickly helped her to pick it up. It was a pen . An old pen . As Valeria handed it over to her .The old woman warmly smiled at her ..

OLD WOMAN: Thank you ,dear ...

VALERIA : Your welcome.

OLD WOMAN : Its really cold ,isn't it ?

VALERIA : Yeah ...Cold and deserted .

OLD WOMAN ( with sigh  ): Most people evacuated the area due to an emergency...They say its a nuclear hazard.

Valeria was about to say something but remained quiet as she listened to the lady .
OLD WOMAN: Man really likes to bring disasters ....And nature likes to get revenge on the man ..
.
VALERIA : That is true ...

OLD WOMAN : You know when I was young just like you I got this pen from  my father. We used to live here ...

Then I got married to my next door neighbour . Even though we never had kids we were very happy and satisfied .
    Talking with that old woman made Valeria realise how much they had risked lives of people on this earth ...Wasn't science supposed to bring happiness and joy....
