Sam's Stupidity

Sam was thinking about Thomas's attitude when Mr. John called him and worryingly said:

"Sam, the delivery man, is on leave, but delivering items is necessary. Can you safely take them to the workplace?"

The workplace was the scientists' working area where they tested and verified their gadgets. After that, they boosted them to maintain their working pace.

"Of course! But why are you so worried?" Sam responded.

"Actually, scientists have urgently required some rays to test their intensities. They have to finalize other products taking those intensities as reference. You have to get there in just 45 minutes. Otherwise, the reaction will end with the useless product." Mr. John added.

Sam felt worried about how he could take on such a bigger task. But he couldn't refuse Mr. John. Just then, he remembered the mini airplane that his parents gifted him last month. He could reach there in 10 minutes through it due to its fast speed. So, he confidently accepted the challenge.

"Sir, you can trust me. I'll safely deliver all the gadgets. So you don't need to look for another person."

After saying that, Sam reached his home to take his airplane. Even after searching for 10 minutes, he didn't find that. When he asked his dad, he told him they had sent that to the lab to update its functions.

Sam was about to die after knowing that. He was regretting why he took such a big responsibility. His work deadline was constantly decreasing. So he had no time to feel his emotions.

He closed his eyes and activated his mind to bring any idea. Nothing appeared in his mind except a damaged machine constantly releasing burnt fuel from its back even after crushing.

"Mr. Thomas time machine! Yes, there's not any other option. It travels so fast. I can also use it for simple traveling."

Sam had been working as Thomas's secretary for a long time. They were also good friends. So, Thomas had allowed him to test and use his gadgets.

Sam cleaned the machine in just five minutes and set the location.

"Location set. After 10 minutes, you'll be at New York's workplace." The control panel ensured settings.

Mr. John was worried if Sam would do the job efficiently. He was carefully designing his new robot when he received the call.

"Mr. John, the material didn't reach us. The product has gone to waste. It has become challenging for us to face the government."

Mr. John was shocked. He was doubtful that he should hand over responsibility to Sam or not, but he trusted him. He was so worried about the effort he had been making for many days on those products.

As head of all science labs, he had to record input and output to determine the net budget. He would also have to answer to the government for that loss.

Mr. John didn't have any emotional linkage with Sam as he had with Thomas. So, he couldn't bear such loss from his side.

Mr. John waited a lot for Sam, but he didn't return. So, he decided to return home with that dissatisfaction. Just then, the voice attracted his attention.

"Dear rider, you have reached your destination."

Mr. John could identify that it was the voice from Thomas' time machine. He wondered who was using the machine late at night.

He became angry to see the situation. Sam was getting out of the machine. His face was clearly showing his fatigue. He didn't have enough guts to face Mr. John, but suddenly, he had instant eye contact with him.

He tried to move his eyeball somewhere else and said: "Mr. John, I know that you might have a big loss due to my fault. But I was in big trouble."

"What an unprofessional man! Mr. John said a single line and went.

Thomas was not aware of the matter. Sam went towards him and exploded at once.

"Sir, the material didn't arrive on time. That was all due to your waste machine. I efficiently set the timer. Even I got the message. But when I reached about midway, the control panel became unresponsive. I was rotating here and there. And then, passing uncountable clocks, I reached the 21st century."

"So, that's why you got late. I feel sorry for that". Thomas said while scrolling over Instagram.

Sam felt it was useless to share that with Mr. Thomas. So, he unwillingly went from there. He practiced the whole night while activating his guts. He was practicing what he would say to Mr. John so he would forgive him.

"Sir, actually, that's all due to Sir Thomas. His machine is faulty, you know." Oh! No! Blaming Sir Thomas would be immoral.

"Simply, I'll say, sir, I was in trouble. Instead, you should be worried about me." Not a great idea. I should have some convincing words.

"Sorry, sir. I'll not do this next time." The voice came from Sam's back. That was his dad.

"My son, the word sorry is so powerful. Just say this line with an embarrassed face. If Mr. John is a nice person, he'll forgive you".

Sam became satisfied with that. So the next day, he went to Mr. John's office. He was about to say something that Mr. John said: "Sam, are you Ok? Which trouble did you face yesterday?"

Sam felt so strange that even due to his unforgivable fault, Mr. John politely talked to him.

Sam explained the situation and assured Mr. John that he wouldn't repeat that mistake ever. But, then, he was relaxingly getting back that Mr. John said: "Sam, take those products to the workplace today. We'll begin working again on that project".

"Products!" Sam was shocked.'

"Yes, I trust you. Take them to the workplace. I wanna see you accomplishing this task." Mr. John responded.

Sam became so tense after hearing about the products. The situation had instantly gone from good to worse.
