Listen, Elsa, if you'll come to America to deal with these things then they will surely come after Hope to get details from you by attacking your emotions and if you'll decide to take Hope with you back to America, it's probably not safe for her there as well *Sam said*

Details? What details Sam, I don't have anything, Aakrit didn't leave anything behind him. How many times do I've to say that *Elsa said in a loud voice*

What is the police doing? Huh?*Elsa asked him*

They searched his lab, they got nothing but a few completely damaged stuff.
The gunmen were underground for more than weeks.
The... The police are trying their best Elsa, I think we are underestimating those gunmen whom we saw that night *Sam said while getting up from the couch*

What am I supposed to do now? *Elsa said in stress*

They both didn't say anything for a while

Listen to what I say and trust me*Sam said*

Elsa looked at him.

Firstly, take this *Sam said while handing over a check to Elsa*

I don't know what I'm gonna do now, I'll start a business or something, I don't think anyone's coming back. *Sam said in a low voice*

So this is prolly the last amount you're getting because of Aakrit's tech business*Sam said*

And listen don't even dare think of coming back to America and even if you do, just tell me first. Police can arrest those gunmen but you never know how many people are after his algorithm book. Only we know that it doesn't exist anymore, they don't.

You need to keep Hope away from all this, you understand?*Sam said while putting his hands on her shoulders*

I..i understand Sam, I just can't process what you just said*Elsa stammered*

How am I supposed to do nothing when my husband's honour and respect is at stake? Aakrit was a good man *Elsa said whilst sobbing*

I know Elsa, I know and that's why I need you to trust me. I can handle everything there, until and unless you and Hope are safe here.*Sam said*

Elsa hugged him while sobbing.

I'm not as smart as Aakrit but you can trust me, Elsa. *Sam said*

I trust you, Sam, I trust you a lot and I know how much you love Hope. I know you wanna protect us and I guess Aakrit would have done the same thing if he was here with us today dealing with a situation like this.*Elsa said*

Sam looked at her and sighed

You should rest now*Elsa said in a low voice*

No, Elsa, I can't do that, I've to go back and take things under control again. I have to help the police to find those gunmen.
I have to regain Aakrit's respect and prove him innocent*Sam said*

I will definitely come back soon when everything will be fine.
Just keep Hope away from all of this and allow her to grow up as a normal kid.
*Sam said*

I know what you mean Sam, trust me I'm trying my best to keep Hope away from following her father's footsteps*Elsa said in stress*

See you soon Elsa, tell Hope that his uncle will be back soon*Sam said before shutting the door behind*

Beginning of the darkest has entered Elsa's life."Tell Hope that his uncle will be back soon" was his last words before leaving but Sam didn't show up for more than a year. He told Elsa that he's working as a software engineering in a Tech Company as he was unable to clear Aakrit's image and regain everything they lost.
The gunmen were under arrest now but Sam told her to stay there in Norway until Hope grows up to be a woman that Elsa wants her to be.

Hope has started going to school being a curious student with a lot of questions and with a "never giving up on something" kinda attitude.
Elsa was really proud of her daughter. She was a little afraid of Hope being more curious about the things than an average kid of her age didn't even think of.

When most of the kids ask why the sky is blue? Why stars shine so bright? Hope was worried about saving the planet, whence they can see those stars and the sky.
But Elsa remembered what Eva told her that she can't trap Hope in her fears but she also remembered what Sam told her before leaving that I should not let her follow her father's footsteps.

What if there's no tree one day? What if there's no water? Mamma, do we have a lot of water so that we can waste it? If it's never-ending then why does news and our books teach us to save water and save our planet?
And if we know that it's gonna end one day then why don't we save it? Or make something to keep it safe forever?*Hope asked her while laying on Elsa's lap seeing the moon from the window of her room*

Hope..daughter*Elsa said*

And I heard that there used to be a lot of animals and birds a few years ago which aren't around us anymore. Why mom?
*Hope asked her*

You think a lot little baby, so many questions?*Elsa giggled*

Tell me mammaa*Hope whined*

Okay, I will tell you but then you will sleep like a good girl? Deal?*Elsa said*

Deal*Hope said and gave a thumbs-up sign*

They got extinct *Elsa said*

Ex..din*Hope stammered*

You read in your books about pollution right? *Elsa said*

Mhmm*Hope nodded*

Us humans, we think that this world is our territory and ruthlessly we cut trees and pollute land and water and we snatched away a lot of natural habitats of uncountable birds and animals in the name of civilization...I mean development and growth and because of that, those precious animals had to switch their homes from one to another to another and eventually they didn't survive *Elsa said*

And they got extinct. That means there's no way to retrieve them.*Elsa said*

Why the long face?*Elsa asked Hope*

We are bad. *Hope said innocently*

No Hope, people like you, my little saviour, they want to protect what we have today, they want to protect every precious life on Earth.*Elsa said*

Now, who's gonna protect the world?*Elsa asked her*

Me!Me! Mamma. I will*Hope said happily*

Now sleep, my little saviour*Elsa said and ruffled Hope's hair until she closed her eyes*

Elsa was about to go downstairs to get some water.

Mom*Hope said*

Yes my little mischievous girl?*Elsa said and turned around whilst smiling*

Earlier you said that there's no way to retrieve what's gone right? *Hope asked*

Absolutely right, angel*Elsa said*

Can't we just start walking today and go there when those animals and bird got extinct*Hope asked her*

Elsa was shocked because of what Hope just said because she knew that she lost Aakrit forever because of the exact thought of his that he tried to make possible with his algorithm. Time Travel.

It..it is not possible daughter *Elsa stammered*

My language book has a quote in it and it says that Everything is possible because impossible itself says that I'm possible*Hope said and giggled*

Sleep now you little mess*Elsa fake laughed before going downstairs*
