Surviving Tomorrow

     "What's your question, aside from that you've asked earlier?" asked Justin

    "It's about your invention... Are you going to use it to enlarge the red dwarf sun?" asked Andrei

     Woah! Andrei asked it straight to the point!

     Looks like Justin was shocked with Andrei's question.

    "Where did you get that idea?" asked Justin

    "Please. Just answer me. Are you going to use it?" said Andrei

    "Fine. I'm still planning to do it. I need the world leaders' approval first before I make a move" said Justin

    "So, how would you do it?" asked Andrei

    "Well, I'm planning to bring my invention to the rooftop of Second District, and I will point out the sun using it's arrowhead, so it can enlarge the sun" said Justin

     "Is it estimated?" asked Nathan

     "Nope. I will just stop adding atoms to the sun if the sun's size looks enough to provide heat" said Justin

     "It isn't estimated!? Are you crazy!? Do you remember what happened on Earth, because the sun became larger?" said Andrei

     "Relax. That time, the sun is a yellow star, so it became larger which made Earth uninhabitable. The sun here is just a red dwarf, it might become a yellow star, just a yellow star if I enlarge it. I guess nothing will happen destructive if I made it a yellow star" said Justin

    "But what if you gave too much atoms?" asked Andrei

    "Believe me Andrei. I won't do that" said Justin

    "Are you sure?" said Andrei

    "Of course! I don't wanna die because of too much heat, and I also don't wanna freeze to death" said Justin

    "Okay. I heard what I wanted. I trust you Justin" said Andrei

     "Thank you Andrei" said Justin.

     After that, we left Justin's house. We went back to our room. Nathan is taking a bath, while Brix is cooking, planning us to taste his specialty. Andrei and I are sitting on the sofa.

    "I don't believe him" said Andrei

     "Who?" I asked

     "It's Justin... I don't believe him" said Andrei

     "So what are you trying to say?" I asked

     "There is one thing I learned before we migrated in this planet, it is never trust anyone but yourself, because when you are in trouble, there is one person who can help you, and it's you" said Andrei

     "What do you mean?" I said

     "I don't easily trust someone. I think Justin is into something, and we have to stop him" said Andrei

     I zip my mouth. Yes, Andrei is right. Maybe Justin is into something. In addition, he doesn't even know how many atoms he could give on the sun. What if he gave too much because he didn't even measure how many atoms he would give? It may lead to what happened on Earth. The sun would get larger and Delta would be burn to death too.

     Oh man! Human aren't still fully recovered from what happened recently, and now another threat on human lives is born. Another bad news is, there is no other planet known to be lived on.

     We have to stop him!

     "Whatever you're thinking. It might be about on Justin's plan" said Andrei

     "Yeah. You're right brother" I said. Though we are not really on the same blood, Andrei, Nathan and I are like siblings.

     We treat each other as member of our family.

     We just finish eating our dinner. I'm here at Andrei's bedroom with Nathan. Brix might be sleeping right now at his bedroom.

    Andrei's mobile watch rings. He opened it and read a message.

    "Humans! Listen to me" said Andrei after he finished reading the text message.

    "What?" asked Nathan

     "Justin just texted me" said Andrei

    "What did it say?" I asked

     "We will know the decisions of world leaders regarding with his plan tomorrow" said Andrei

     "I think... I think the world leaders will not allow Justin to do his plan" said Nathan

     "Yeah. They will not agree with Justin" I said

     "I hope so" said Andrei.

      For now, the world leaders hold our hope. We are hoping that they will notice the negative side of Justin's plan. Though always seeing the positive side of something is better, giving interest with its negative side is not bad. Things should be neutral, so there will be having no debates.

    "They will not let Justin do that. Trust them" I said

    Andrei and Nathan smiled.
