Living Moon's Obsession : A Tale of Tangled Hearts

Part 8 | The Ties That Bind

"I'm not trying to remind you anything but I'm trying to say that I love you aswell, White. Actually I always did." As he said this, I just became shocked and looked at him. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows. I don't know why but I actually started crying with a sobbing voice. We reached home, and my eyes and nose were all red, the tears were rolling down my cheeks, I was not in my senses either. He removes his seatbelt and then gets out of the car,  after that he rushes to open my door, he gives me a hand to get off the car, but all I did is punched softly on his chest for like 6, 7 time and cried. After that he just leaned into a kiss, he rubbed my back the whole time and when he pulled back from the kiss, I saw a tear rolling down his soft cheek. I wiped it and asked him "why are you crying, Moon?" He replied "Take it as a sign, that I will never stay happy if you're sad. Now I'm binded to you, White. My emotions are in your hands." He just got half inside the car (over me) and lifted me in bridal style, he climbed the stairs and asked me the password of the door, I told him and he opened the door. He took me to my bedroom and made me sit on my bed, he then locked the main door of the apartment and walks to me. He sits on the floor on his knees and wipes my tears away, he then says "Why are you still crying? Aren't you happy that you got a handsome boyfriend like me?" Saying this he gives me smile and scrunches his nose cutely. His phone started ringing and he said, "these bastards won't even let me enjoy my first day- sorry night with my girlfriend." I smiled at him, and held his hand, and told him to answer the call, he did and went like "hey you dumb guy, don't you dare to call me at night now, I'm busy with my girlfriend." I was so proud that he's so confident and excited about having me as his girlfriend. I still can't believe. I was just lost in my thoughts when he suddenly interlaced my fingers with his. He stood up, sat near me, and locked his lips on mine. I was little too much stunned to do anything, I just tightened my grip on his hand and held his Kurta's sleeve tightly. I never thought I'll be kissing him when he is wearing a tradional dress and looking this gorgeous. After all this he looked at me softly and said "this night is sparkling, don't you let it go" I replied "seems like most of Taylor Swift's fanboys are loyal. And yeah, as long as we're together, all night will be sparkling like this." He gave me a soft smile and said "you know other boys who love Taylor Swift?" I replied "as you know I don't have any male friend. But my cousin, Leo, he really likes Taylor Swift and he's soooo loyal to his girlfriend." Moon nodded and said "I know each and every detail about your family, your friends, your past and even your school teachers. But you never told me about your real name." I looked here and there and then replied, "You too mister. Moon. But now I know, it's Abbas. There was no doubt that your real name is not Moon, but I never asked because I was waiting for you to tell." He giggled "Yes, it's Abbas. I've never told anyone this before because I wanted my close one to call me by my real name. Even in my school and college, "Moon" was registered as my name. But from now on, if you want, then you can call me by my real name". "So Mr. Abbas, I'm... Princess" he nodded and said "You're my princess. But what does this princess's parents named her?" I looked in his eyes and smiled at him and told him, "It's Sarah." He smiled "I've never thought your real name will be as pretty as your face." I said with an irritated face "on whom you tried these pickup lines before?" He laughed "this is me dating first time ever in my life. Flirting before getting into relationship? Nha. That's not my type." I smiled and tell him that I'm going to take a quick shower if he's free he can stay here, he agreed and i headed to the bathroom.

I dressed myself in a comfy and fluffy night suit which I had purchased like 5 months ago but never tried on because it was too pretty for wearing it to sleep. I put some perfume on, combed my hairs, put on a hairband which was keeping my bangs back. I headed out of the bathroom, and I saw him using his phone while sitting on side of the bed. As I entered the room, I stood there in my comfy night suit, a little shy but happy that Moon appreciated the effort I had put into my appearance. His smile melted my heart, and I felt a warm connection between us as we sat on the bed, looking into each other's eyes. The silence was comforting, and it was as if we could communicate our feelings without words. When Moon finally broke the silence, his words touched my soul. "You know, White, I've never been this happy in my life. I feel like I've found something I've been searching for my whole life." His words made me smile even more. "I feel the same way, Moon," I replied, my heart brimming with affection. "It's like we were meant to find each other." But he then continued, "I won't be complaining if we just kept being friends, you were always enough. I looked at him in confused way and smile, not completely aware of what he just said but its sounded like a compliment. Moon reached for my hand, and his gentle squeeze reassured me. "I promise to always be there for you, to make you smile, and to cherish every moment we spend together. You will never be alone, if not like this, then maybe like friends." I noticed a bit of change in his tone, I replied "what do you mean by 'if not like this, then maybe like friends'?" He replied, "umm I was talking about pa...past, like I was there for you at that time too." I smiled and nodded. I asked him, if we can watch a series, maybe a kdrama? He agreed and I opened my laptop, and his photo, as a wallpaper pops up, I tried to close it, but he opened it again. He looked in my eyes and said "You were the one stalking me all this time? Well... that's obvious, my friends and cousin told me that an anonymous account is following all of them, and looking through all of their stories, after some days, I told them a hack to know who took a screenshot of their stories and posts (along with which story and which post) and that anonymous account took screenshots of only stories and posts in which I'm present in the photos." I giggled and replied "ofcourse, after falling in love with you, I became a professional stalker." He laughed and I put the drama on. I gave him a cozy blanket, we settled under the cozy blankets. The warmth of his presence was all I needed in that moment. The night held endless possibilities, but for now, I was content just being in his arms. Moon wrapped his arms around me, and I rested my head on his chest, listening to the steady and reassuring beat of his heart. The characters on the screen navigated their own complicated love story, and it was as if we were watching a reflection of our own feelings and experiences. Every stolen glance, every touch, and every tender moment between the on-screen couple resonated with us. Moon's hand found mine under the blanket, our fingers interlocking in a silent agreement of affection. I checked my phone to see that it's already 3 a.m and it's 1st of January! I noticed it's newyear and I looked over at Moon, our faces illuminated by the soft glow of the laptop screen. "Happy New Year, Moon," I whispered. Moon turned to me with a warm smile. "Happy New Year, White." He leaned in, and we shared a sweet, lingering kiss that marked the beginning of a new year and a new chapter in our lives. As we pulled away from the kiss, Moon's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "I have a feeling this year is going to be amazing with you by my side." I smiled back, feeling a surge of happiness. "Me too, Moon. It's going to be a fantastic year." The K-drama continued to captivate us, and we found ourselves discussing the characters and the plot in depth. It was a pleasant reminder of how well we understood each other and how we could share even the smallest things, like our love for a good drama series. At around 3:30 a.m., Moon's phone rang again, interrupting our binge-watching session. He glanced at the caller ID and answered with a sigh, "I guess it's not going to be a completely uninterrupted night." I saw his father calling him. I watched as he conversed briefly with his father on the phone, making promises to meet up the next day. Despite the interruptions, I couldn't help but admire Moon's loyalty and his commitment to making our time together special. After the call ended, Moon turned to me with a mischievous grin. "You know, White, we have a few more hours left until sunrise. What do you say we make the most of them?" I raised my eyebrows, curious about his suggestion. "What did you have in mind?" Moon's eyes twinkled with excitement. "How about a late-night adventure? We could go for a drive, find a quiet spot, and just enjoy the peace and quiet of the night." The idea sounded thrilling, and I was eager to spend more time with him. "I'd love that, Moon." We quickly got dressed and headed out, hand in hand. Moon's car felt like a getaway vehicle, transporting us into the serene night. We drove through empty streets, under the dimly lit sky, and the city's bustling life seemed to have temporarily faded away. We found a secluded spot near a lake, with a bench overlooking the water. The moon's reflection shimmered on the calm surface, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Moon and I sat close together, savoring the stillness and the beauty of the moment. Moon wrapped his arm around me, and we gazed at the stars. "You know, White, every star up there is like a promise of a bright future." saying this he kissed me on his forehead and I put my head on his shoulder wondering, I loved a right guy. We spent hours talking about our dreams, our aspirations, and our future plans. Moon shared his passion for playing guitar, and I revealed my love for writing. It was a night of deeper connection, of understanding each other's hopes and ambitions.
