Astraea's Moon
Updated at Oct 18, 2022, 06:16
"Your name means moon, did you know that?" I asked him while we were staring at the starry night. "I do, and I hate it" he answers. Without averting my eyes from the sky, I asked why. "It reminds me so much of how I am. Surrounded by darkness. " his calm and serious voice swayed with breeze. "People find it beautiful for its bright light, forgetting the fact that it's only shined by the sun." I turned to him but got surprised when I met his hazel eyes. He looks like he's only been waiting for me to look. I tried to calm down the fluttering in my stomach and the fast beating of my heart. "But you know what, I'm starting to like it now." "Why?" I voiced out, almost a whisper. "Because it has the stars beside it." his eyes glimmered with an emotion I couldn't name. "Do you know what your name means, Astraea?" And now I completely lost control of my heart. — Astraea is a simple girl with a simple life. Not until a certain old lady asked her hand in marriage for her grandson. She was dumbfounded. She directly refused the offer but the old lady was persistent. She did all sorts of things just to get the approval of the young lady, everything except telling her the reason why she chose Astraea. And when she did, the soft hearted young woman agreed to a date. That was it, just one date. That was supposed to be it but then she finds herself getting interested in the old lady's grandson, Zabian, after seeing him so vulnerable after weeks of just being irritated by the man's presence. That interest led her to agreeing in the arranged engagement. What happens when her ordinary life wasn't so ordinary anymore? Where will this decision lead her? Can they keep it strong when the man's traumatic past unveils and they found out the girl's relation to it? Will darkness prevail over these two shining light?
