A light ray of the sun came and fell on the girl standing near the door. That child was 4 years old. Her eyes were a deep blue colour, and her nose was quite sharp. Despite being a small girl, that girl's jawline is quite stunning and sharp.
Her fair face and silky hair were open. The girl is standing in a black school dress. Despite being a child, she appeared to be a very silent and stern person.
While sitting in the living room, Luna and Leah got up from the sofa. When Luna looked at the girl, her eyes became moist.
This was her baby! Alina! Luna's baby! Luna ran quickly. And took Alina in her arms. Luna's eyes closed due to relief. And moisture tears started flowing from her eyes. After taking a good look at Luna by Alina,she also gave her one hand and hugged her.
But there was no emotion on Alina's face. After some time, Luna left Alina and, sitting on her knees on the ground, took Alina's cheeks in her hands and asked lovingly but a little hesitantly,
--"Alina! How are you, my daughter? Mom, I have missed you a lot."
Alina now showed some emotion on her face. It was a fake emotion, but Luna or Leah did not have the brain to understand it. Alina said with a little smile,
--"I'm fine, Mommy. How are you?"
As soon as she heard the word Mommy, all of Luna's sorrows seemed to vanish. This was the only person in her life whom Luna loved immensely.
Why wouldn't she do it? She has her own daughter, Alina. Looking into Alina's deep blue eyes, Luna got scared for some time.
It is true that Luna loves Alina very much. Perhaps in Luna's life there is a beautiful existence for a daughter like Alina. But as soon as Luna saw the depth of Alina's blue colour and her fearsome eyes, her soul was lifted.
Because these two eyes always remind her of that puzzle that happened four years ago.
The puzzle that Luna has not been able to solve till now. These eyes remind him that Luna's past is connected to another man. Whom Luna doesn't even know! Just by looking at these blue eyes, Luna understood that Alina's father also had blue eyes.
Otherwise, Alina would not have blue eyes. And Luna's eye colour is dark brown. Which is a very normal color of eyes. Don't know why she doesn't have the courage to make eye contact with Alina. That's why Luna said, smilingly,
--"Alina, Mammy is very happy to meet you. I have missed you a lot. My baby! Alina!
Just then, they heard Leah's voice from behind.
--"Hey, hey, both of you are ignoring me. I am also here."
Luna smiled back at Leah, as did Alina. Now Alina said to Leah,
--"You are our best friend. And I live near you, so it is not in my power to forget you, Elda Grandma."
--"Look Luna, Alina, what a wonderful thing you have said. My heart became happy."
A pleasant atmosphere had developed in the living room. Because mother and daughter met after a long time. Just then, everyone heard Zoya's voice coming out of a room.
--"Mom, you should get ready. We also have to reach. Faraz had called me. He has asked me to leave early. I am outside. If you are finished talking, then come."
Saying this, Zoya went straight out of the house with a bodyguard. Luna and Leah become silent. But those people correct their mood very quickly. Luna just said with a smile,
--"Alina and I will go and get ready. You also go, Grandma."
Even before Alina could hold her hand, Alina said to Luna,
--"Mommy, you go. I have some work in the storeroom."
Luna and Leah didn't pay much attention. They thought that perhaps some of Alina's belongings might have been left behind. Which she is going to take now.
So Leah and Luna went towards their respective rooms. As soon as Luna came to her room, she started looking at everything. She could not believe that she was leaving this house forever.
She can never return to this house. Luna and her family were going to move to their real home, "Casa Del Ashfa," next week. But she has now to leave a week in advance for Sia's wedding.
This decision was taken by Faraz and Leah themselves. Luna does not know the meaning of this sudden decision.
Luna saw everything for the last time. There is nothing much in this room right now. Leah had packed everything. Just on her bed was an off-shoulder Maxi floral dress, whose colour was white and blue. The dress was completely designed with white and then blue-coloured daisy flowers.
Luna headed towards a corner. She saw mountains and greenery. She can never see this scene again. Regret! Luna gave a painful smile. And then, without thinking much, she went to the washroom.
After some time, Luna came out of the bathroom. Anyone could tell by looking at her that she had taken a very cold shower. Because the fingers of her hand had become quite red, so had her lips. Luna, today she was looking very attractive and angelic in an off-shoulder maxi dress.
Especially Luna's long, waist-length tresses were wet today. Which was wrapped around her waist because it was a little wet. Wearing a maxi dress, Luna's fair and attractive Beautybone or collarbone looked very sexy! There were still several drops of water on it.
Luna's maxi dress was cut on the left side; hence, her fair, slim, and very soft legs were visible. Luna was looking so beautiful today in that white dress. Even no writer can describe its beauty. Luna did nothing to her hair and came straight out of the room.
Because she was ready. Luna thought about her daughter. Because Alina has not been seen by her yet. Luna headed towards Alina's room. But the door was open, and there was no one inside. Luna thought to herself,
--"Alina is not even in the room. Then?"
She quickly went towards the storeroom. But strangely, the door was locked. But after looking a little carefully, she saw that the door was slightly open.
Gathering her courage, Luna opened the door slowly. The door opened a little with a rattling sound.
Luna tried to look inside, but the atmosphere inside was very quiet, scary, and full of darkness. If someone looks inside this room, he will feel that it is still night. While Luna was looking around, her eyes fell on a wall. And then she saw Alina.
Alina was sitting in the middle of that strange room full of dust and old things. There was a star drawn in front of it, and some strange shapes were also drawn near it. The shape whose colour is red, sitting on that star's lap, Alina!
There was just a single yellow candle lit in front of her in the dark room. Due to this, even if only a little, the room was quite visible. Luna could not see Alina's face. Because her silky hairs were waving in front of her mouth. In the dark room, Alina seemed no less than a scary ghost.
There was black dust on the fists of Alina's hands, due to which Alina was holding on to the power and was murmuring a bit. Her murmuring was very slow, but the speed was much higher.
In front of her was a red-coloured doll. Who did not have one eye? That doll was so scary that it could easily create fear in anyone's heart.
Alina's murmuring, the doll, the dark room, and Alina—everything seemed very scary to Luna. Luna came out of her own situation.
--"Alina!"
Luna's courage paid off. She started running away from there, crying and closing the door. Alina brought her eyes up from her hair at the sound of the door being closed. Her blue eyes, with their yellow light, looked no less like the fire of hell!
Just then, Alina opened her fist, dropped the black dust on the doll, and whispered,
--"Daddy is coming! In your life, Mommy! Daddy is coming!"
On the other hand, Luna went straight to Leah, crying. Seeing Luna is crying, she understood what she had seen. Leah hugged Luna and then started running her hands through her wet hair and she said softly,
--"Lu, it's better not to think about healing Alina. Let her do whatever she wants. We don't have the power to stop her. And if you want, forget everything. Just thinking about an old dream."
Luna could not understand the meaning of such words from Leah. So she looked at Leah with her wet eyelashes. And asked,
--"Alina is doing black magic, Grandma. You also know how dangerous it is. Don't you?"
--"Sometimes we think the greatest mysteries of the universe lie outside of us. In the vast, expansive skies. Little do we know,
The greatest mysteries of the universe hide in the darkest depths within ourselves. It is Alina's character or personality. Just don't interrupt it."
Just then, Alina came back and hugged Luna. Luna turned back and saw Alina. She was scared for some time. This is the same Alina who was doing black magic some time ago! But now that Alina is smiling and clinging to her like a normal child,
Luna was mature, so she took Alina in her arms. Alina's beauty was also like Luna's. This is probably the only thing that has happened to Luna.
Alina wore an A-line skirt and a red crop top. She had kept her hair open. Mother and daughter were looking amazing today.
Only then did Luna feel that she should ask Alina. Why does Alina do black magic? Looking at Alina's smiling face, Luna asked directly,
--"Alina, what were you doing in the strange room some time ago? Tell me."
While Leah was standing emotionless, Alina's smile had still not gone away from her face. While Alina was smiling, Luna was looking at her with questioning eyes. That's when Alina replied,
--"You are my mother. So stay at your mother's place. Don't come between me and my work. Otherwise, my black magic can destroy you. Anyway, let's leave all this and go to grandpa's house."
Alina said this whole thing while smiling. But Luna's spirits lifted again. Because whatever the case, Alina had given her this warning for her own good.
Luna herself could not understand whether she was surprised or sad. But when Leah asked her to go, Luna went ahead, taking one look at Alina.
Till now, Alina was still in her lap and smiling. This smile was probably due to some untoward incident. But Luna didn't understand. Zoya's car had gone outside. Now Leah, Alina, and Luna will go together.
The lock on the gate of "Birds of Paradise" was given. There were many cars from the Ashfaq family parked outside. where mostly only bodyguards will sit. Leah looked at Luna and said,
--"It has a lot of memories associated with it. Especially of Alina. Give her to me; Alina."
Leah takes Alina into her lap and sits inside the BMW. Luna started looking at this house for the last time. All the bodyguards had their eyes only on Luna.
But Luna was watching "Birds of Paradise" with great passion. Every bodyguard was surprised to see Luna's beauty. Because there may not be such a beautiful girl in this entire world.
The relationship between Luna and these "Birds of Paradise" can never end. So many memories, happiness, and her memories with Alina are there here, which can never fade away. "Birds of Paradise" is one of the most beautiful places in Luna's life.
But it does not happen every time that whatever you want remains with you. Once life goes away, it never comes back. Luna also knows that once she leaves "Birds of Paradise," she will never come back here again. Or for her busy life, or for some other reason.
Pain is not always in tears; sometimes it's also present in a smile. Just like this, Luna smiled after seeing this house for the last time. And then she went to the car. The bodyguard opened the door for her. Luna went inside and sat down.
And four cars passed out from "Birds of Paradise" And then the main gate of "Birds of Paradise" got locked. "Birds of Paradise" was written on the shining nameplate. Which was shining very brightly today. The redness of the sun is hot.
Their car was moving forward through the path between mountains and greenery. Luna was looking out of the car, while Leah and Alina were busy talking to each other. She look at Alina, whatever Alina does, she meets everyone only on normal like a normal child.
She is smilingly talking to Leah right now. Luna was sitting silently. All the way, she remembered only what had happened to her four years ago.
She has spent her entire 16 years in this house. Her every happiness is imprisoned in this house. Every happiness that she shared with Zoya.
If you move away from a person, you can talk to him sometimes. But if your favourite thing can't talk or walk, this thing will cause you more pain. Forgetting past memories is as difficult for Luna as a child finds it difficult while staying away from her mother.
Luna turned her gaze away. She started looking towards Alina. Alina was looking at something on her iPad. Leah was also busy with her phone. Luna doesn't like Alina's iPad at all. Because Faraz gave a mobile phone to Alina when she was only 4 years old. Luna herself had gotten a phone while living in the hostel, and Alina even before that.
Wherever people play, Alina is always engrossed in her iPad. Luna didn't say anything today. She just started looking outside again. But then Leah's phone rang. Leah saw that it was her husband's call. Picking up the phone, Leah greeted him.
--"Assalamu Alaikum (Peace be upon you)!"
Responding to the greeting from the other side, Adam asked in a slightly worried manner,
--"Leah, where's Lu?"
Leah looked at Luna and said,
--"Lu is here. We will reach there some time along the way. Why?"
From there, Leah heard Adam's voice. He was a little worried.
--"Leah, you listen to what I'm saying."
Then Adam explained everything to Leah. There was disappointment in Leah's eyes. Leah also looked a little worried. Seeing this, Luna started looking at her with heavy eyes and concern. Just then, Leah disconnected the call, and Luna got the chance to ask something.
--"Grandma, what's wrong? You look so upset and confused!"
Leah started saying, expressing her confusion.
--"Luna, Farida is not at home. Moreover, she is not even picking up anyone's calls. Adam is very worried, and now I am also worried. Aidan also does not know anything. And on top of that, the "Sheikh Pahlavi" family they had come to Dubai for the engagement. What do you do now, Lu? From Adam to every member of the house, everyone is very busy. No one has time."
Luna also became worried. And she looked at Leah and asked,
--"Since when are they not meeting to Farida, Grandma?"
--"She had gone in the morning and said that she would come by noon. But now it is 5 in the evening. She has not returned yet."
Luna was worried. She looked outside. Only then did he realise that only 5 minutes were left to reach Dubai, i.e. "Casa Del Ashfa".But Luna was even more surprised because the entire street in Dubai was decorated with white wedding lights.
As if the wedding will take place on the street. It did not take long for Luna to understand that all this was done only for the happiness of the arrival of the "Sheikh Pahlavi" family. As far as Luna knows, the Ashfaq family is probably the one who decorated it. The entire Dubai Street was shining with a little more light today than it did the other day.
Luna has not watched the news channel or checked the news feed for a few days. That's why she did not know anything about "Sheikh Pahlavi" She had not thought that the Ashfaq family would start the wedding decorations right on the street. But the more important thing for Luna was now: where is Farida?
Thinking something, Luna ordered the driver.
--"Driver, stop the car."
The driver suddenly stopped the car. At the same time, three other cars coming behind also stopped. The same Leah, seeing the car stop, asked a question,
--"Lu, why did you stop the car?"
Luna said, being serious,
--"Grandma, you take Alina and go home. And I will leave now to find Farida. Don't ask too many questions, Grandma. Because Grandpa never tells us anything except when necessary. And you yourself know that Grandpa tells me. You have asked me to find Farida. And you are not telling me this because you do not want it. But Grandma Farida is my uncle's daughter. A member of our family. You just go and take Alina. I will return soon."
Leah didn't know how Luna knew that Adam had asked her to find Farida. But Leah understood that Luna was not going to stop now. 16-year-old Luna was as mentally and physically strong as she looked. Adam knows this very well.
Leah tells Luna to take care of herself. While giving a kiss on Alina's cheek, Luna said very lovingly,
--"Mummy will come soon. Till then, don't bother anyone. Respect the elders and seek their blessings. Okay?"
Alina just yes nodded. Luna got out of the car there. At the same time, she said bye and stood on the road with her bag. And now the car started moving towards their destination.
Leah was deeply worried. She started worrying about Luna. So she asked the driver to quickly go towards "Casa Del Ashfa".
Luna first wondered where Farida could be. Farida is Aidan's only daughter. Farida was just 10 months younger than Luna. Better to say, she is still 16 years old but 10 months younger. Luna will turn 17 in two months. Luna loves Farida very much.
It is better to say that Farida is her best friend. Standing in the middle of the road, Luna started thinking about Farida's friend.
But as far as Luna knows, Farida was not friends with anyone. Because everyone just loves her money. After thinking for some time, Luna remembered about Farida's boyfriend, Isaac Smith.
Luna quickly started wondering where Isaac Smith could be. Luna doesn't even know Isaac's number, and she doesn't know where his house is. Luna quickly called a taxi. Then, sitting there, he said to the driver:
--"Starlight Paradise Suits"
'Starlight Paradise Suites' Yes, this was the name Farida used to call it. Isaac always goes to this hotel. Luna reached 'Starlight Paradise Suites' within 10 minutes. She saw that it was a 40-floor suite.
Luna did not have a VIP membership. But whatever happens, she will have to go inside these suites. By then, it was 6 o'clock in the evening. Luna saw that there were many bodyguards and guards standing there. It was clear from a distance that the security here is very strong. Which is not that easy to break.
