Moon's embrace, an enchanting grace."

~Unknown

"OMG !!!

Luna! you're sitting here, and I've been looking for you all over the house."Eva said curiously.

Luna who was sitting on a swing in the lawn, her eyes fixed on the vast expanse of the sky above. Luna held a pen in one hand, poised over a diary resting on her lap.

"You've come to make me uncomfortable." Luna said she'd put the pen in the diary.

"I didn't come here to disturb you but to welcome you. At the dining table, they all wait for you."

There was a small smile on Eva's face as she revealed that everyone was eagerly waiting for Luna at the dinner table.

Rising from her seat, Luna carefully picked up her diary and slipped her feet into a pair of comfortable slippers. With a reassurance to Eva that she would be joining her shortly, Luna embarked on the journey towards the house.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Eva couldn't resist asking Luna about the name of the story she had been diligently working on for the past few days. Luna, nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders, admitted that she, too, was unaware of the title. It was as if the name of the story remained a secret, locked away even from Luna's own consciousness.

Eva couldn't help but express her bewilderment at Luna's lack of knowledge regarding the title of her own creation. Luna, unfazed by Eva's surprise, shrugged once more, implying that she had no intention of divulging the name, not even to herself.

Their conversation concluded with Eva reiterating her astonishment at Luna's unfamiliarity with the story's name. Then they both left the serenity of the lawn behind, their laughter resonating in the air, as they made their way inside the house where the rest of their companions eagerly awaited their arrival at the dinner table.

Mrs. Jackson brought the food to the table and placed it carefully. Then, both of them walked over to the dining table and took their seats.

Then, Mrs. Selina inquired about Luna's exam schedule, asking her when her exams were set to begin.

Luna responded to her mother, sharing that her exams were scheduled to commence in a month. As it was her final year, she emphasized the importance of achieving excellent grades, expressing her determination with a smile.

During dinner, as everyone gathered around the dining table, Eva excitedly shared some intriguing news. She revealed that Luna, for the past ten days, had been diligently engrossed in the creation of a captivating story.

Eva, however, admitted that she was unaware of the story's title, adding an element of mystery to Luna's literary endeavor. Everyone at the dinner table became very curious after hearing about Luna's story. They were excited to hear more about it and wondered what kind of characters and worlds she had created.

"Come on Luna, please!" "Tell me something interesting about your story now," said Ella with a curious look. "This is a story about a beautiful girl like you, Ella," Luna said with a laugh. "Then you have to tell a story that's interesting." and both of them laughing.

Following their meal, Eva, Ella, and Luna proceeded to their designated room, where they intended to spend the remainder of the evening. Simultaneously, Mrs. Jackson retired to her own personal room, seeking a moment of seclusion and tranquility. In contrast, Mr. Jackson made his way outdoors to the lawn, where he settled down to indulge in a smoking session.

As soon as Ella entered her room, she went straight to her bed and fell asleep. Luna, who loved reading books, took one from her bedside table and went to sit near the window where she could see the sky clearly. She opened the book and began reading.

Suddenly, the light from the moon shone onto the pages of her book. Luna closed the book and put her hands on her cheeks, staring at the moon. She was captivated by the beautiful sight and couldn't help but admire the moon's glow in awe.

Eva was sitting at the back of Luna,she was deep in thought, pondering about her future goals after graduation. She turned to Luna and asked, "Luna, what do you think I should do after I graduate?"

Luna, however, seemed captivated by the breathtaking sight of the moon in the sky. Her eyes were fixed on its mesmerizing beauty. Lost in the moment, she didn't immediately respond to Eva's question.

As Eva patiently waited for Luna's answer, she couldn't help but notice the serene expression on her sister's face. Luna seemed to be in her own world, completely absorbed by the moon's allure.

Finally, Luna blinked and refocused her attention on Eva. She smiled warmly and said, "Eva, I apologize for my distraction. The moon was just so enchanting. As for your future goals, I believe it's important to follow your passions and pursue what truly makes you happy. Take some time to explore different possibilities and discover what ignites your soul. Don't rush the process; trust that you'll find your path when the time is right."

Eva appreciated Luna's thoughtful response and nodded, taking Luna's advice to heart. She realized that just like the moon's beauty, her future was a journey that required patience, exploration, and trust. With a renewed sense of curiosity and excitement, Eva knew she would discover her own unique path after graduation. And together, Eva and Luna continued to enjoy the peaceful night, embracing the beauty of both the moon above and the dreams awaiting them in the future.

Eva inquired why Luna was fixated on the moon. Luna, a self-proclaimed moon enthusiast, responded by explaining that when the moon is absent from the sky, it feels as if the sky loses its magnificence. Eva smiled at Luna's response and suggested they go to sleep since it was late.

Upon receiving Eva's suggestion, Luna rose from her seat and shut the window before settling into bed. Shortly thereafter, she drifted off to sleep.
