The book had something else too. In the mid of the book ,he got a key.
Chapter 14
Sam flushed his emotions and tried to unlock that black box. Was that a miracle, the box opened up. Inside the box was an envelope which opened up with two folded papers .One was marked as " for my strong son, Sam" and the other one as " for 'dear lee' "
He went to keep the second one on his mom's bed and came back to read the first one-
" Hey Sam , my little boy. I don't know how old are you now, but i hope you are old enough to understand things now. You are strong , strong by both heart and brain and i'll tell you my story. My story of ambitious projects, my life, aspirations, struggle and ultimate fate. I would never like you to loose people and things , the way i lost them one by one. My scientific ambitions kept me busy with my work and your mom and you alone. Then i had this friend of mine "Anil" who always stood for me , landed me as a helping hand , became my financial assistant and what else not. Then there were people who wanted to cheat, wanted to steal my work. This world isn't a simple place , i hope you understand.
The world says that i failed at my research. Even my friend thinks so, but i am gonna tell you.
I know , you are sitting on your bed and reading this note and your mom is there at Anil's place on his demise. Your wet eyes right now seems more like your mom's than mine. Finally Sammy you got some school friends too.
How do i know! ..that's a secret between you and me. I will tell you. I biologically developed a technique to inbuilt the tendency to interact with black holes around . Thus i can dream of past and future. Hope that you also got this owing to hereditary. This is between you and me , your mom don't have such superpowers . Haha!
Your mom is an inventor though. She herself gave the idea of inbuilt tendency once unknowingly. I just took that up . She is genius.
I want to tell you Sam that i knew my destiny , my fate. I tried hard to change but failed . Sometimes its better to let your future unpredictable so that at least your present isn't on the verge to loose peace.
Now that you too have the superpower , i hope you have, i will keep talking to you in your dreams. I am always there with you , till you breathe your last. Beleive me!
""
Sam cried hard , with joy as well as surprise. His tears didn't stop. The contentment he felt was tremendous. He soon fell asleep , but this time a sleep of peace without any dreams. Sam had the powers to control whether he wanted to dream or not. The key was his emotional control and he dreamed only when he wanted to. However being beyond normal wasn't easy for a teenager.
Chapter 15
In the evening Leena came back . Her eyes almost red, her mascara and blush smudged and her white attire gave her a ghostly look.
She headed to the bathroom ,took some sandalwood bodywash, had the shower and then noticed the paper on her bed. Every single word on the paper hit her mind dashing and breaking every bone of her guilt. The letter went as
.."..dark hair.They were silk. Beautiful you wrapped in the most admirable nature. You were and are an angel for me. You shrugged off your happiness and did let me do mine. How could you? Never thought that my happiness resided in yours.Well, the things turned out the way they shouldn't have been, but they did.Let me tell you...Now that you know everything.........
It was our first tripping out together. You know. The ferns and the tall pine trees.I can't forget . All along the beautiful valleys and the vast hills, something fell down to ground from somewhere near the clouds and brought that smile on your face which still echoes my senses. It was a snowflake announcing the winter's arrival .Indeed the first snowfall you had. There i can see two shadows. The two of them sitting on a wooden platform, probably a bench built by the side of a road. The road no longer seemed like one as it was then completely covered by a shiny sheet of snow. The two of them sat not so close but in no time the girl slid herself along the plank towards her opposite end. The boy then leaned a bit to kiss her forehead. In between that snow desert , giant leafless trees,chilled, it wasn't spring but the fragrance....ohh! i can remember the warmth every time i recall."
