14 Moon is face to face to his rival

Today Asfar and star came to the mall together to do their wedding shopping. Tomorrow there was also star's first exam paper. She did not want to go shopping but she agreed to Asfar's insistence and Asfar had taken permission from Arafa. How could she refuse? All the wedding shopping was done by her parents, the left was the wedding dress that they had to pick. Asfar had taken his dress and now they had come to a lady's boutique. Star loved every outfit but asfar didn't like any dress. He was rejecting one after another.

"What's the problem? You don't like any dress." Star said in a weary tone.

"I want my wife to wear the most beautiful clothes. I don't see anything worthy of you," Asfar said looking at her with affection. The salesgirl of the boutique was envious of star's fate while star didn't care about it.

"Then you select yourself. I'm going home. I have an exam paper tomorrow and you stuck me here," she said annoyingly and walked out. Asfar grabbed her by the arm and stopped her.

"Wait, please. Just ten more minutes," he said, quickly checking the beautiful gowns. star took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa. Then Natasha came there. she was jealous to see them both.

"Hi Asfar." She ignored star and walked towards Asfar.

"Oh, you are here!" Asfar smiled happily.

"Yes, I'm here too." she laughed. Star was sitting there watching them talking with great ease. She was not at all jealous that her future husband was smiling and talking to her friend, nor did she go to Natasha to greet her. Natasha had ignored her when she saw her, so how could she say hello to her.

"It seems you're following me," Asfar said suspiciously. She laughed again.

"Hey, it's not like that. Actually, tomorrow is my cousin's wedding, so I came here to get three or four outfits."

"Okay then take some more dresses. Your friend's wedding is also near." Asfar said, pointing to star. Natasha's smile faded. Star had watched her impressions thoughtfully.

"Oh, when will be the wedding? ..... star didn't even tell me." she didn't understand what to say.

"She's sitting there. Go and ask." Asfar said and turned to the clothes. Natasha moved anxiously towards star, chewing her lips.

"Hey. How are you?" She approached her, extending her hand for a handshake. Star grabbed her hand as she sat down.

"fine, but you don't look good." star said and she got nervous.

"No, I'm fine. By the way, Why are you in a hurry to get married?" Natasha countered.

" Because of asfar. I don't know why he is in such a hurry." Natasha envied more by star's words.

"Well, when will be the wedding?"

"On the fifteenth. I'll send you an invitation."

"Yes, why not." Natasha smiled artificially.

"How's the preparation of exams?" Natasha changed the subject.

After a while, Asfar had chosen a beautiful wedding gown for star. Natasha was sad to see his love for star. She left soon. on return, Asfar drove the car first to star's house. When she got out of the car, Asfar also came out with her. Moon, who was returning to home saw them and stopped. His heart filled with grief. He was struggling to accept that star could never belong to him, but now his impatience had increased once again. He hated asfar. He looked away from them and turned to enter his house when star's eyes fell on him.

"Moon!" Star called him. Moon became stilled. After a moment, he turned to look at star.

"Yes?" he looked at her questioningly

"Where were you?" She asked with concern.

"With a friend," he said in a reserved tone.

"Meet him. He is Asfar." Star turned his attention to Asfar. Moon looked at Asfar with cold eyes.

"And Asfar, he is moon." When moon said nothing, star introduced him to asfar.

"Nice to meet you." Asfar extended his hand towards him. Moon took one look at his hand then looked up at his face and the next moment Moon grabbed his hand but didn't say anything.

"How are you doing?" Asfar continued.

"Well." He did not want to talk more.

"Okay, I'll go then." Asfar noticed his rude behavior, said to star and walked towards the car. Moon also went from there, looking at star complainingly. Star got confused and upset by his behavior.

......….

"Look Haniya! You have to marry Daaim. Agree to it or I will force you." Haniya was getting ready to go to university when Tania came to her room and spoke.

"Mama, please. You try to understand me. I can't marry Daaim. He is not of my type. The husband I want is not like him at all. He is flirty. How can you choose a flirty boy for your daughter? " Haniya said bitterly. Tania was silent for a moment.

" I promised my sister. What about it? I can't hurt Zara."

" Can you hurt your daughter?" Haniya asked with wet eyes.

"I'm doing it for your pleasure."

"No, you're doing this because of your stubbornness. You don't care about me." Haniya held the perfume in her hand and threw it on the ground. Tania looked at her in shock. Then moon entered the room and was surprised to see the situation.

"What happened?" He looked at both of them. Both Haniya and Tania controlled their facial expressions. If haniya wanted, she could have gotten support from Moon and Baba by telling them but she did not do so. Tania was her mother. She did not want to disgrace her mother in front of anyone. It was a matter between her and Tania. She believed that she would handle the situation on her own.

"Nothing happened. This perfume fell from me by mistake. And Mama started scolding me." She looked at Tania and spoke. Tania got relaxed. If moon had known the truth, her goal would never have been achieved.

...…...

Today was star's last exam. She came out of the examination center and waited for Asfar. A relative of Mr. Imran and Arafa had died. They were out of the city in this regard. The driver had also gone home. Asfar had said to her that he would pick and drop her. He had dropped her on time but now he was getting late. It had been fifteen minutes since she had stood outside. Now it was getting dark. She had an exam paper in the evening. She began to walk around anxiously. Wearing a white long shirt and trousers with a hijab on her head, she was looking very gorgeous.

Moon, who was going to visit his friend, saw her standing on the side of the road and stopped the car. He hadn't met star since that day and had become so indifferent to her that he didn't even know what exam paper she had today. But now he got worried to see her standing alone on the road. He opened the car door and hurried towards her. Star's eyes fell on him. Her restless heart calmed down and a smile spread on her lips.

"Oh ... my Moon has come." She was buttering him.

"I wish I could call you mine." Moon thought sadly.

"Haven't the driver picked you up yet?" Moon asked impassively.

"The driver is on leave. Mama Baba has also gone somewhere. Asfar said he will pick me up but how long have I been waiting. He is not coming. He is not even picking up the call." Hearing Asfar's name, Moon's mood became bitter.

"Come with me, I'll take you home," he offered in a formal tone.

"Ok," she said happily, walking with him. As she approached the car, she stopped and looked at Moon that had moved towards the driving seat.

"Wait," she said, Moon stopped and looked at her.

"Come here," she called to moon. Moon came towards her in surprise.

"Who was going to open it for me?" Star ordered, looking at the front seat door. Moon watched her in silence for a moment. Then he nodded his head and opened the door.

"Star!" She was about to get in the car when she stopped at Asfar's voice. Seeing this, Moon's anger graph became high.

"I'm so sorry," he said embarrassingly as he approached star.

"She doesn't need your sorry. How long has she been standing alone on the road outside? Do you have any idea, how disturbing was it for her? If you had taken the responsibility of picking her up, you should have fulfilled your duty properly." moon reprimanded Asfar. Asfar and star looked at him in surprise.

"There was a traffic jam so I was late. Otherwise, I am fully aware of my responsibility," Asfar said angrily.

"You could have told her that on the phone, but you didn't even answer star's call." Moon told another mistake. Asfar was silent for a while.

"My mobile phone was left at home. I didn't remember to bring it in a hurry," he said, chewing.

"It means, you left home late. The traffic jam is just an excuse," Moon interrupted.

"What's the problem, Moon? Leave it…. I apologize to you for his behavior." Star stared at moon and said to asfar. Asfar felt bad that she was apologizing for Moon.

"It doesn't matter. Let me drop you at home." He looked away from moon, grabbed star's hand and began to take her away. Moon immediately grasped star's other arm by the wrist and stopped her. Both Asfar and star looked at him in wonder.
