DAY : 8 continued

   Layla hadn't talk to her parents for five years. One can  say that huge gap between her and her parents  which already existed between them was filled with ice  because of the   divorce . Hence when she called her father ( named Shaman), there was subtle amount of awkwardness between them . Although he sounded completely unaffected ; he was on the ninth cloud when Layla called her.  That is how parents are ...Aren't they ? ...No matter what their child do , they always end up loving him selflessly. It doesn't matter how their child hurts them ...She explained everything to him formally to which he replied:

"  I will help you...But why will I do it ? There is a huge risk in this investment."

" I know ...That is why I will give you something you have always wanted , Mr Shaman ( Layla 's father) ...That is full control over me ...If the hazard is prevented I will live according to your whims....Moreover , its not only my world which is at risk... Its yours also..."

" That is actually very tempting...I never thought that even you can behave responsibly sometimes. But I can 't invest in something that is   illegal if it doesn't give any materialistic  profit in return . "

" It will ...I will give you my share of research centre  . " 

" Forget it ... I don't want your research centre ... I will discuss the deal with my advisors...Wait for my answer..."

After the call , everyone in research centre  anxiously waited for his answer...

IN THE EVENING :Unknown number called Layla. Her heartbeat gained momentum as she picked up the call :

SHAMAN : I am going to help you . Remember your promise.

LAYLA : I will ...

Layla told other researchers that the deal was sealed...Everyone rejoiced...Oblivious of what Layla had gone through to seal the deal....

  Its late at night. Researchers of ZERN were working continuously while rest of the world slept.Layla decided to modify Valeria 's machine...And named it as VAL...After Valeria 's name. ZEN and Sheila were still working on anti black hole project. Now that neutrino 57 was available, all they had to do was modify it to be more efficient .

ZEN ( while concentrating on something): I don't think we should do this...

SHEILA:  Shouldn't do what  ?

ZEN : We shouldn't do anything illegal...Its dangerous...

SHEILA : Do we have any other choice?  ( nonchalantly) ...

ZEN : We do ....We can tell people everything about black hole ...

SHEILA : Then there will be utter chaos ...

ZEN : Its inevitable but what we are doing right now isn't...We are trying to run away from our problems rather than tackling them head on...

SHEILA: Its kind of true. But ...We have to do it ...To save our research centre and to prevent people from panicking ...

ZEN : But...

SHEILA : No buts we should concentrate on our project right now...
