Hating the Moon

chapter-7: Fake

This chapter is dedicated to @taeteacutae. Thank you dear your comment means a lot.

It's 11pm. Someone is staring at the moon intensely standing in the balcony. But the gaze is not of administration or love, instead it is full of hatred.

"You are not innocent, it's just fake. Your beauty is just to lure your prey, to ruin them later. I'm going to shatter you, break you into infinite pieces. I'm going to make your life living hell. I hate you..I hate you..."

His gaze turning into something dark, a drop of tear fell from his right eye. His face is expressionless more like the silence before the storm.

Other side of the town

Zhan is as usual in the balcony staring at the object of his relief.

But today nothing can make his crazy heart calm down. After today's encounter it's threatening to come out of his chest and show him how much it loved him, just how much it longed for his love.

'No xiao Zhan, get a hold of yourself. You want to ruin everything?'

'I will rather endure his hatred than..'

His phone started buzzing.

"Hello" "yes, it's xiao Zhan" "yes,yes" "thank you.. thank you so much. I will be there"

A small smile was playing on his face. He looked at the moon and prayed..

"please take care of my loved ones"

***************************

Next morning Zhan was on his way to the nearby cafe as he has an appointment with the caller of last night. He entered the cafe and went to the corner table which is already occupied by a very handsome lawyer.

"Hello, Mr. Zuho"

"Hii" "please" he pointed at the chair.

"Thank you"

"So, how can I help you?"

"It's about our cafe" "I want to know about the case. We have promised uncle that we won't get involved."

"Still you left a message last afternoon, for his lawyer" he sipped his coffee.

"I just want some info please, I will stay out of this." Zhan pleaded.

Zuho's face is calm. His voice is even calmer..

"Your uncle has instructed me to not tell you anything related to the case. So..I can't" "If you have anything else then please proceed"

"Please Mr. Zuho, do me this favour. I want to share his burdens but he won't let me."
Zhan started sobbing.

" Please.. he is my only family I can't see him suffer alone." Tears streaming down from his eyes, he looked miserable.

"Hey, please stop crying" Zuho didn't know how to handle a crying zhan. "I will tell you everything ok, please stop"

"Are you for sure?" Zhan said wiping his tears, his eyes were red.

"Hmm" he paused before continuing "The case is not in our favour, because the land belongs to the other party "

Zhan gasped at his words. Still Zuho continued..

"I tried collecting information about the broker who suggested to buy the land, he seems to vanish in thin air. There is not a single soul who know about him. Only if we can get him, it will be easier for us to atleast get the compensation"

"It seems he is very intelligent, he perfectly planned everything."

"Yeah and he didn't even left a trace" "he seems perfectly trained." Zuho was intently looking at Zhan's reaction.
