IT'S NOT OVER Chapter 73
The afternoon sun cast playful patterns on the living room floor as Saarayu knelt before a mountain of colorful building blocks. Across from her, Avi, a whirlwind of energy in a pink tutu, giggled with delight, meticulously stacking blocks into a precarious tower."Careful, little architect," Saarayu teased, her voice laced with amusement. "Don't want the whole city to come tumbling down!"Avi, her tongue peeking out in concentration, ignored the warning, adding another block with a triumphant squeal. Just as Saarayu predicted, the tower wobbled precariously before collapsing in a joyous heap. Far from being discouraged, Avi burst into infectious laughter, clapping her chubby hands.Saarayu chuckled, scooping Avi into a hug. "Alright, alright," she conceded. "Looks like we need a more stable design. How about a bridge this time? Daddy would be proud of you, building bridges just like he does in his research."Avi's eyes widened. "Daddy hero?" she parroted, tilting her head in innocent

The warm sun streamed through Dr. Sudha's living room window, casting playful patterns on the plush carpet. Saarayu, a newfound sense of calm settling over her, sat cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by a colorful explosion of building blocks. Avi, her energy boundless, giggled with delight as she constructed a towering (and slightly wobbly) castle.Dr. Sudha, a cup of steaming tea in hand, watched the scene unfold with a gentle smile. Seeing Saarayu engaged in playful interaction with Avi was a welcome change from the fear-stricken woman she encountered the night before."You two are quite the team," Dr. Sudha remarked, taking a seat on the sofa nearby.Saarayu chuckled, glancing up from her intricate block structure. "We have to be. Especially with Reyansh being so far away."A flicker of curiosity crossed Dr. Sudha's eyes. "Speaking of Reyansh," she began cautiously, "have you ever considered… how you feel about him?"Saarayu, momentarily distracted, placed another block on top

The backstage area, once a vibrant hub of pre-show excitement, now resembled a deflated balloon. Ken and Sarah huddled in a corner, the silence broken only by the nervous tapping of Sarah's foot. The sting of the audience's rejection was fresh; the thunderous boos still echoed in their ears.Suddenly, the door burst open, revealing a scene straight out of their worst nightmares. Mr. Tanaka, the CEO of Tanaka Tech, their biggest sponsor, barged in, his face a thundercloud. Flanked by two imposing men in black suits, he exuded an aura of barely contained fury."Ken! Sarah!" he bellowed, his voice dripping with venom. "What in the world was that out there?"Ken, already battling a crippling wave of self-doubt, shrank back under Mr. Tanaka's withering gaze. Sarah, however, straightened her shoulders, a flicker of defiance replacing the shame."Mr. Tanaka," she began, her voice surprisingly steady, "we understand your frustration. We truly do. But—""Frustration?" Mr. Tanaka cut her off, h

The flickering light from a single candle cast long, distorted shadows across the cramped backstage dressing room. Ken, his face etched with exhaustion, slumped onto a threadbare sofa. Sarah, perched on a nearby stool, traced patterns on the dusty floorboards with her bare foot. The silence after their disastrous performance hung heavy in the air, thick with unspoken emotions."Sarah," Ken finally broke the silence, his voice hoarse. "We need to talk."Sarah glanced up, a flicker of defiance in her eyes. "Talk about what, Ken? Our spectacular downfall? The scathing reviews that are probably trending worldwide right now?"Ken winced. The sting of the audience's rejection was still fresh, a raw wound exposed for the world to see."There's more to it than that," he said, his voice low. "We can't just keep blaming everyone else. We messed up, Sarah. We lost our way."A long pause followed, filled only by the distant hum of the departing crowd. Sarah uncrossed her arms, her expression soft

Sarah, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs, stood outside Reyansh's swanky apartment building. The once familiar address now felt intimidating, a fortress she had to conquer. Dressed to impress, a practiced vulnerability in her eyes, she took a deep breath and pressed the call button.Moments later, Reyansh's voice, a touch surprised, crackled through the intercom. "Sarah? Is that you?""Hey Reyansh," she forced a lightness into her voice. "It's been a while. Can I come up?"A beat of silence followed, then a reluctant, "Sure, come on up."The elevator ride was an eternity. Sarah replayed their conversation a hundred times in her head, rehearsing her lines, her pleas. But a nagging doubt gnawed at her. Reyansh wasn't the naive, star-struck teenager she used to know. He was Dr. Reyansh Kapoor now, a respected scientist, someone who wouldn't fall for cheap tricks.The apartment door opened before she could knock. Reyansh stood there, taller, broader, a hint of skeptici

A shadow fell across Dr. Reyansh Kapoor's desk, momentarily breaking his concentration. He looked up from his microscope to see Sarah standing there, a hesitant smile plastered on her face. Her designer outfit and perfectly styled hair seemed out of place in the sterile environment of his lab."Sarah," he said, surprised by her visit. "This is unexpected. Can I help you with something?""Actually," she began, her voice feigning a casualness that didn't quite ring true, "I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by. See how your, uh, science stuff is going."Reyansh raised an eyebrow, skepticism flickering in his eyes. He wasn't naive. Sarah's sudden interest in his research, after years of radio silence, felt like a poorly veiled attempt at something more."It's going well," he replied cautiously. "We're making significant progress in the field of heart cell repair."Sarah's eyes widened in what seemed like genuine interest. "Wow, that sounds amazing! So, you're like a real-

The afternoon sun cast playful patterns on the living room floor as Saarayu knelt down, her arms outstretched. Avi, Reyansh's niece, giggled with delight, a tiny streak of sunshine with mismatched socks and a determined glint in her eyes."Again, Aunty Saa!" she squealed, holding out a stuffed elephant with a missing ear.Saarayu scooped her up, twirling her around in a dizzying hug. "Alright, alright, little one. But only if you promise not to topple over like a wobbly tower."Avi, breathless with laughter, clung to Saarayu's neck. "I promise! Now fly me to Neverland, Captain Saa!"Saarayu, ever the doting aunt, launched into a dramatic story, her voice morphing into a booming pirate captain as she soared through the living room, dodging imaginary obstacles and battling ferocious dust bunnies. Avi shrieked with glee, her infectious laughter filling the room with a warmth that chased away the shadows of grief that sometimes lingered.Suddenly, Avi's laughter hiccupped, replaced by a g

A hush fell over the room as Dr. Reyansh Kapoor, his lab coat crisp, his demeanor calm despite the pounding in his chest, strode onto the stage.Spotlights bathed him in a warm glow as he adjusted the microphone. This was it. Years of tireless research, countless late nights fueled by coffee and a relentless pursuit of a breakthrough, culminated in this moment. He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across the expectant faces."Good morning, esteemed colleagues," he began, his voice a steady baritone that resonated through the hall. "Today, I stand before you to discuss a potential paradigm shift in the field of cardiac health – the targeted gene editing of heart cells for repair and regeneration."A murmur rippled through the audience.
