Asfar was at Star's house. Earlier he had come in secret but failed. Now he wanted to meet Star with the permission of Arfa.
"Auntie, can I take Star with me for a while?" He asked hesitantly after the salutation.
"Why not, son." After a pause, Arfa spoke and Asfar smiled. Meanwhile, Star entered the lounge with a tray of teacups. Asfar's eyes were fixed on her.
"Hello." Star greeted him and gave Arafa a cup of tea.
"Star, get ready. Asfar wants to take you with him for a while." She did not want to go with Asfar but she could not refuse.
"ok" she glowered Asfar and left the lounge.
After a while, they were leaving the lounge entrance and heading towards the car. at that time Moon appeared there. Star was sitting in the car at the time and Asfar was closing the car door. For a moment, Moon did not understand what was happening. Why was Star going with a boy and where was she going? These questions were circulating in his mind. He had never seen Star go with a man. What was the matter? He didn't want to understand even though he understood. He had become comfortless.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. …
"Oh God, what's going on? ….. If I had found such a lovely hero, I would have died happily." Hanyia said grouchily. She was watching a movie. The hero was crying, the heroine was leaving him and going with someone else. Moon entering the lounge also saw this scene. He considered himself like this hero. This scene made him sadder.
"Girl, if you don't love my hero, I'll kill you." Haniya was saying emotionally to the movie's heroine. Moon looked away from the screen.
"Haniya!" He said approaching her. Haniya looked at him in wonderment and then started watching TV again.
"I have one thing to ask you."
"Ask quickly and go?" She said aversely.
"What is the end of this movie?"
"Since when have you been interested in movies?" Haniya asked him in surprise.
"Answer my question." He grimaced.
"I don't know. I've only seen half of it yet." She shrugged.
"Then forward it and see if the hero gets heroine or not?" He didn't know what he was trying to ask. Haniya did not understand.
"No, no. If the end is known in advance, the story will not be interesting." She denied.
"You never help me." He left.
"What's wrong with him?" Haniya looked at him confusedly.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. …..
"What do you want to eat?" Asfar said, sitting on a chair in front of Star.
"Anything," she said in a flat tone.
"it means you can eat everything?" Asfar raised his eyebrows. Star just nodded.
"Oh thank god, you are not finicky," he said, turning to the waiter and ordering something. It was noon and they had come to a famous restaurant for lunch.
The waiter had taken the order and went. Star was still looking around.
"I want you to look at me," Asfar said in a sad tone and Star look at him for an instant. One side of her lips curved into a smirk. Then she looked away in a moody tone. Asfar disliked her attitude.
"Are you angry with me?"
"What do you think?" she raised her eyebrow.
"I really want to meet you."
"But I didn't want to. And you acted against my will. Shouldn't I be angry?" She said in a cold tone.
"Sorry" he was embarrassed. Star rolled her eyes.
Meanwhile, the waiter came and put the food in front of them. They both started eating. Suddenly Star's eyes fell on Natasha, who was sitting at a distance, who had come with a friend. Natasha's eyes were on her too. She said something to her friend, got up, and walked towards her. Asfar also looked at the right side.
"Hey. How are you?" Natasha extended her hand to Star. She grabbed her hand. Asfar understood that she was a friend of star.
"I'm fine. How about you?" Star asked.
"Don't ask me, …" She was just saying when she saw Asfar. She stilled for a moment. Asfar knew that the girl was as impressed by his personality as all girls were. If there was no one, she was Star.
"Who is he?" Natasha barely looked away from Asfar and asked Star. Star didn't know what to say. Natasha was her classmate and no one in her class knew that she was in a relationship from childhood.
"I'm Star's fiancé. Asfar Waheed. Nice to meet you." Asfar got up and introduced himself. Natasha's face darkened at the word fiance. She did not know how to react. She had fallen for him at first sight, now knowing that he belonged to someone else, a sting had risen in her heart.
"Oh…I see …. nice to meet you." She hardly composed herself and turned to Star.
"You have lunch. I'll go." She spoke quickly and turned away. Star understood her condition but she pretended not to know and sat down on the chair again. Asfar also sat in front of her.
"Was that your friend?"
"Hmm … enemy like friend," she said, and Asfar looked at her in surprise.
"Really?"
"Yeah, not like an open enemy. Competitor friend." She answered. Asfar nodded with a smile.
"Then she will be very dangerous."
"I know how to deal with people like that. You don't worry," she said confidently.
.. .. .. .. .. .. . …
The exams had started. Haniya had a test in the morning while Moon in the evening. So Hanyia had gone to take the test. Moon was just staring at the book sitting next to Star but he could not memorize anything. He kept remembering Star going with a man. The heart was sinking into anxiety. There were signs of confusion on his face.
Seeing Moon biting his lip, Star felt his uneasiness.
"What happened?" She asked softly.
"n… nothing." He was scared as if Star had read his thoughts.
"Then why aren't you studying?"
"I'm studying." He nodded and attended towards the book. Star stared at him for a moment, then began to study his lesson.
"Star!" Moon called her a moment later.
"Hmmm?"
"Where did you go yesterday?" He asked. Star was silent for a moment at his question.
"Oh that. Why are you asking?"
"Where did you go?" Moon reiterated, ignoring her question. Star pursed her lips and thought.
"I don't think it's necessary to answer that." She frowned and spoke coldly, making Moon even more uneasy. So, he had no right to ask her anything. He looked away from Star.
"You weren't like that before." Some moments later, Moon complained. Star looked at him in surprise.
"How?"
"Arrogant." He made a face. He was really telling the truth. Star agreed.
"In childhood, we were good friends." Moon had childhood memories in his eyes.
"So now, are we enemies?" Star didn't want to argue about it, so she made fun of it.
"Not either friend"
"We are brother, sister," Star shrugged and Moon's heart was broken.
"I'm not your brother," he said suddenly. Then, when Star glared at him, he realized what nonsense he had done.
"I mean … I can't make a strict and combative girl like you, my sister." He mumbled and looked very innocent. Star grabbed his ear and twisted it
"Did you call me a combative?" She gritted her teeth.
"Ah …. No, I mean …."
"What do you mean?" The beating session started again.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. …
"So how was the first paper?" Star asked Haniya with a smile.
"Very well. You taught me. How could it not be good?" Haniya spoke ardently. Moon was holding the question paper next to her. He looked a little confused. Whenever he went to the examination hall, he would get nervous as if he was going to the battlefield.
"May God bless you for your hard work." Star prayed to her.
"And God make my brother a little wiser so that he will not be too upset when the time of exams approaches." She looked at Moon and spoke mischievously. Moon could not even fight it in the tension of the exam.
"Relax Moon. You can do it." Star patted him on the back and encouraged him. Moon took a deep breath and exhaled.
When he reached the examination center, he saw his friend who was even more incompetent than him.
"Moon, I didn't learn anything. Help me, man." Zahid said with a sad face.
"I won't tell you anything. I'll just put paper a little in front of you. Be try your best to copy." Moon said with disheartening.
"Ok, don't worry about it. I will copy. You just keep your paper on the right side." Zahid said happily.
When the paper started, Moon's fear increased. As soon as he saw the paper, he forgot the answers to all the questions. He closed his eyes and nodded his head.
"Relax Moon. You can do it." Star's words echoed in his mind, giving him courage. He opened his eyes and looked at the paper again. One by one he remembered everything. He quickly began to solve the paper.
"Put it on the side," Zahid whispered from behind and he turned the paper a little to the side. Zahid started coping. A supervisor caught him.
"Hide your paper." He came close to Moon and commanded in a loud voice. He quickly hid his paper. The supervisor stepped forward. After a while, the whispering started around him. The students sitting around him were busy in cheating and he was the one who could not help his friend. He was worried about Zahid. But he couldn't ruin his paper in helping a friend. So, he bowed his head and started dragging the pen on the paper with great attention.
After a while, he realized that someone had pointed to him. He looked to the right side in wonder. The student sitting in the front row, after two chairs, was saying something to a student sitting in front of Moon. Then he twisted a page and threw it towards him, which fell near the feet of Moon instead, and at that moment the supervisor's eye fell on him. Moon's breath stopped. He got panic. The supervisor stared at him angrily and approached him, Moon started praying with a quickly beating heart that he would be saved.
