Aisha's pov

One...Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eig- Ohh stop it Aisha.

I turned to face Sanjh peacefully sleeping. I closed my eyes again to let the possibility of me sleeping come to reality but then I heard a snore.

I immediately sat up straight grumbling. Holding my head in my hands I rubbed my face a bit before looking at the window.

The moon was beautiful.

I got up from the bed adjusting my robe and wore my slippers before silently walking out of the room.

Walking down the corridor and stepped up under the open sea to immediately greeting the beautiful sea blinking with the moonlight.

A smile broke my face involuntary while I took a seat on a nearby sunlounger mesmerized by the scenery.

Moon and I go way back...
I don't know why but whenever I needed someone only the moon was there...
Listening to my cries, my demons...
Watching me brake in pieces and soon gathering them back...

And what's the best thing uk...?
It's just there...
Not speaking...
Not responding And
Not judging...
But I like how it is... Sometimes you don't want advices u just need someone to listen...

Suddenly my eyes caught some movements and followed it when I saw him.

His messy hairs hiding his forehead... Eyelashes so long shut closed hiding the beauty underneath...

My eyes followed his long nose till his soft pink lips... A strange sense of tranquility passed me looking at the serene calmness of him.

I snapped my eyes shut when my heart started beating so loudly. Turning to look back at the sea I tried calming my heart to stop thinking when my eyes again betrayed me.

All the thoughts left my body when my brown eyes met his dark gray ones.

Seconds passed but our eyes were still locked.

"Good girls don't stare at strangers."

"Who said I am one." Words left my mouth even before I knew it.

I blinked, realising the deed when I saw his lips stretching a smirk.

Instantly heat burned my cheeks and I cleared my throat saving me from the embarassment.

"Sorry." I meekly said.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw him sitting up from the previous position.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I focused my gaze back on him whose in return were fixated on me.

"Huhh?"

"The moon!"

"Oh y-yeah!!" I squealed.

A moment of silence passed us. "Viranshu"
Dazed i looked at him.

"Viranshu Rajwanshi and you?"

Suddenly active, amusement ran through me when I scrutinized his eyes for something but found nothing.

He doesn't know about me, seriously!? I mean the look says it all. Should I tell him my name?

No no no, let's not be the celebrity Aisha Saxena atleast on this cruise.

"Ashiya" I nodded at him. "Ashiya Saxena"

He gave me a beautiful smile standing up.
"Well it was nice meeting you Ms. Ashiya."

He forwarded his hand to me. I took hold of his rough hand for the handshake. But to my surprise, he held my hand softly bringing it to his mouth.
