"oh sorry I didn't mean to I thought I was dinning alone"
"Well okay I'll surely take the excuse"
"You didn't tell me your name ....do you always leave people in suspense?"
"I find it rather not important to share my details with you but if you insist
I'm Zahres"
"Zahres" she says the name as it rolls off her tongue something different and unusual a name very rare and unknown to her
"Why were you wearing a bridal gown
You didn't give me a satisfying answer"
"It's nothing I promise". She says while hiding her engagement ring
*He reaches out and holds her hand his touch so firm but gentle ....which sends chills down her spine*
"I never knew I was harbouring a married woman" he says with a smirk on his face
"Unfortunately I'm not married..."
"Then why wear a ring?"
"That's an engagement ring"
"Oh what a joy so you're engaged?.... where's the mister if I may ask"
"I don't know "
"What a pathetic relationship you have
But it's good not to judge who knows you may be the problem and not him" he answers bluntly
He notices that she had barely touched the food and his eyes narrowed
"Eat the food before some of it turns cold"
"Sure"
After minutes of eating in cold silence
Luna takes the risk and starts a conversation.
"What kind of social status do you have
I mean to say ...the house and..."
"Miss Janet was right you surely are a little chatterbox full of questions....."
His tone grows deep
"Even some that don't even concern you
Just know that I make enough money to feed my daughter and my self nothing more nothing less"
"Why only your daughter? Don't you have other relatives?"
"No " he replies without bothering to look at her
"You enjoy asking people about themselves
What about you? Where's your family?"
"I don't have one"
"You must be crazy everyone has one
Even if they're not proud of it but they still belong to one?"
"No I don't have anyone... I'm alone"
"Oh okay I don't like pressuring others to talk"
He stands to walk out
"And you can give your address to one of the drivers .....for them to take you home but if you have Any concerns you can ask miss Janet "
Hours later Luna takes a stroll around the house admiring the definite architectural skills put in as she's walking a little Hand tugs at her dress
"Can you please get my kite from that tree?"
Luna leans down
"Sure but what's your name?"
"I'm.....dad told me not to reveal my names to strangers"she replies shyly
"But you asked for help from a stranger so that stranger has the right to know your name"
"If I tell you my name will you get my kite?"
"Ofcourse I'll"
"Okay my name is Jasmine"
"Jasmine? That's a pretty name for a pretty little girl"
"I'm not little I'm turning 6 soon"
She replies irritated with 5 fingers up instead
*Luna chuckles* "well I guess we have to teach you how to count right?"
"Just get my kite please"
"Okay but don't you want to know my name as well?"
"Yes please but first get my kite"
"Hmmm quite an impatient girl right?... Let's get your kite down and I'll tell you my name"
After minutes of struggling Luna manages to get the kite down
"Here you go it's abit torn but I'll fix it"
Luna diligently fixes it and sets it aside
"Now where were we?"
"Your name"
"Oh yes ....my name
I'm Luna"
"Luna that's a nice name too"
"Thanks"
"You're my daddy's friend right?"
"Hmm not quite I barely know him"
"Well I can tell you about him
He's always upset, doesn't smile alot, sometimes I call him Mr grumpy..."
"Mr grumpy huh looks like no new toys for you"
