Part 2
Proton was going to propose that day but something very unexpected happened.
Miss Electron excused herself to go the washroom and Proton started making arrangements for the big moment. He had asked the waiter to put the ring in a glass of wine and when she would feel the ring, rose petals will fall on her from the chandelier.
It has been 5 minutes since she went to the washroom but hasn't returned yet. Proton started to worry but shrugged it off thinking he was just being nervous.
Another 15 minutes passed and there was no sign of her. He was worried. Beads of perspiration started to form on his forehead. He then decided to check is she was okay.
When he reached the washroom, there was no sign of her. The window was open and near it was the necklace She always wore. He picked it up and kept it in his pocket. And just like that, she was gone.
He searched the entire restaurant, her hotel, his home and the whole town of s-orbital too. But there was no sign of her.
Only now the realisation dawned upon her that she was gone.
His whole life had changed just in a matter of seconds. All his dreams were shattered.
He came home with a heavy heart and drank a lot! He had soon become a regular drinker. He stopped going out. He tried anything he could do to take his mind of her but failed everytime.
When he tries to sleep, an image of the shy smile of his beloved wakes him up and it keeps him awake all night.
