It has been ten days since they've won the war. Every where in Capaldi and in the Kingdom of Arizone is like a festival going on. The King has spoken to Nation again this morning and wish to have a peaceful era to kingdom. The war cast so much sacrifices.
Dylan turn off the National News Chennel NNC as he sits in the lounge of his family home. He look at his father taking tea and his mother and Lena talking. It has been five days since they have come back to Capaldi. Last few days in Capaldi has been tiresome for them. A few hours earlier he come to know that her adress got leaked on social media and people started to gather there. Dylan runs there as soon as possible when he learns and get her before the public reached there. He was angry. Dylan is just waiting for right time to vent all build up anger.
Who in world would expose her adress to public. Dylan thought as he bring cup of tea to his mouth. He sips through tea while watching absentmindedly at some distant spot. Dylan reminded himself that before tomorrow's night he has to complete reading all those files from years about each and every incident happens to her and the symptoms that changes with passage of time. After reading all of them he will discuss with Gibbs for better understanding of her so called symptoms. He look at Lena as she laugh when mother whispers something to her. The sound of her laugh, Dylan always compare it to magicful symphony of music that music.... Which always make his heart lighten.
"So Dylan what are you planing for future?"
His father suddenly ask. His mother look at him then on her husband silently. Lena also look at him carefully as if she don't want to skip hearing from him. Dylan carefully read the expression of them and control his laugh as he look at Lena then says:" I'm considering NUC for admission."
His father look at him kinda proud. He was considering inside his mind the subjects that Dylan would like after whole situation.
"which department? I'm having hard time considering which department you would like. Would you like to study same as You and Gibbs like back then."
he asked Dylan
Dylan smiles at his parents eagerly waiting for his option.
" Perhaps Genetics, perhaps Criminal law. " hearing his son opinion father knows in what situation he made this decision and why. He has abandoned Astronomy after winning his bet.. After all these years. He was some how shocked but he already has anticipated that sooner or later Dylan would abandoned his passion at the time when he will tell Dylan about lena and her special situation. He looked at shocked face of his wife and Lena but says nothing. Lena take a secretive glance at Dylan and feel something off on him as he carelessly sips through tea. She withdrawn her eyes from him as Dylan looks at her.
[Dylan..... Why... Why would he gave up?]
She distracted herself.
By evening Dylan says goodbye to his parents and Lena before getting into his car. To study all the files that Rich has placed in his study. In back mirror he saw lena whispering to mother and runs to car as he was about to cross the gate of Al'Xander mansion. Dylan stop the car and wait for her to get in. Lena sits besides him and close her eyes. Rest of journey.. It was all silence. After some time lena open her eyes and look at him then stare out of window at sky as Twilight approaches the sky of Capaldi.
