The strange dream had shaken Sheyaan to her very core yet she reminded unaware of one crucial truth.
What she had seen in her sleep was no mere coincidence it was a fragment Of her own life.
Zavian was holding Sheyaan tightly in his arms. Then he gently pulled her slightly away and cupped her face in his hands,
looking straight into her eyes. In a deep and serious voice, he asked,
"Sheyaan… don't be afraid. Tell me, what did you.. see?"
Zavian already had a feeling about who she might have seen in her dream, but he wanted to hear it from her to be sure.
Sheyaan wiped her tears while trying to control her sobs and began to speak in a trembling voice,
"it... it was all so strange… there were two people… completely covered in...black clothes. They… they were trying to kill...me!"
Hearing this, Zavian's eyes widened with shock and anger. He quickly stroked her head and said in a calm but cold tone,
"It was just a dream… just treat it like a bad dream...and forget about it, okay?"
Sheyaan looked at him with innocent eyes There was still a trace of fear lingering in her eyes. With pure innocence, she said,
"But my mom...used to say that.. dreams come true… What if… what if this bad dream...becomes real?"
Hearing this, Zavian fell into thought for a moment. His heartbeat seemed to stop, because he knew this wasn't an ordinary dream.
It was a reality that could come true again at any moment—and Zavian was fully aware of it. But he didn't want to scare Sheyaan any further.
He gently held both of her hands in his and, in a soft reassuring tone, said,
"Don't say..such unnecessary things… not every dream comes true.., understand?"
There was a firmness in Zavian's voice that gave Sheyaan a little comfort. She slowly lowered her head and murmured softly,
"Hmm… you're right."
Zavian kept looking at her silently for a while. She seemed a little sad.
He felt an urge to take away this sadness from her forever. Holding her hand again
Zavian noticed the sadness lingering in Sheyaan's eyes his voice softened as he said.
"Come..with me!"
Caught off guard Sheyaan slowly lifted her head her gaze filled with surprise as she looked at him.
Without saying anything, Zavian held her hand and helped her get down from the bed. Innocently, she asked,
"Where are... you taking me?"
A faint smile appeared on Zavian's lips, but he only said,
"Just come."
Holding her hand, he led her to the balcony connected to the room.
Evening had slowly faded, and the cool, quiet night air brushed against their faces. They both stood near the railing. Curious again, Sheyaan asked,
"Now tell me.., why did you bring me...here?"
Instead of answering, Zavian gently placed both her hands on the railing and stood right behind her.
He was so close that Sheyaan could feel his breath. Leaning near her ear, he said in a soft, whisper-like voice,
"Close your eyes… quickly."
Smiling, Sheyaan tried to turn back and asked,
"What are you...trying to do?"
In a playful way, Zavian lightly tapped her head with his finger and made a face.
"You ask too... many questions! Now, close your.. eyes."
Sheyaan fell silent. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her face toward the sky and slowly closed her eyes.
The sky was covered in deep darkness. The silence was so intense that only their breaths could be heard.
Zavian gently placed one hand over Sheyaan's hand and, with the other, began performing a mysterious kind of magic in the air.
He waved his fingers, and a beautiful red glow started flowing from his fingertips.
With that glowing light, he drew a large moon and tiny stars on the dark canvas of the sky in front of them—just outlines for now.
While doing all this, a faint, mysterious smile rested on Zavian's lips.
Sheyaan was still standing there with her eyes closed, unaware that an entirely new world was about to appear before her.
After a few moments, Zavian softly whispered near her ear,
"Open your eyes..., Sheyaan.!"
She slowly opened her eyes and looked ahead. But surprisingly, she couldn't see anything at all.
Disappointed, she turned her head back slightly and made a small pout.
"There's nothing... here! Weren't you... going to show me.. something?"
Zavian's smile deepened. He knew she hadn't looked in the right place yet.
Hearing Sheyaan's words, a faint mysterious smile appeared on Zavian's lips.
Raising his hand he snapped his fingers in the very next moment as if some invisible spell had been broken.
A surge of red light erupted spreading in all directions. The moon and
stars that Zavian had drawn in the air just moments ago now came to life in reality.
The dark sky lit up with a beautiful blend of blue and red glow. In a soft voice, Zavian said,
"Look behind.. you."
As soon as Sheyaan turned around, her breath caught. The moonlight and the bluish glow of the stars fell directly onto her face, as if the light itself had touched her.
She was completely stunned by the sight, but her happiness had no limits.
The red moon and stars felt so close, as if she could reach out and hold them.
Sheyaan exclaimed excitedly,
"Wow! This is so... beautiful!"
Then, after thinking for a moment, she added,
"Can your magic... really create all of this.. too?"
She turned back again with a cheerful laugh and asked innocently,
"ca...can I...touch them?"
Zavian smiled at her innocence, nodded slightly, and said softly,
"Hmm."
Sheyaan slowly and hesitantly extended her soft, cool hand forward, as if she wanted to feel those glowing stars...
Sheyaan hesitantly lifted one finger and gently touched the glowing red moon.
The moment her finger brushed against its bright surface, a deep yet gentle voice echoed from within it:
"Who is it.. that's disturbing... my sleep?"
Hearing this, Sheyaan was startled. She got scared and quickly stepped back,
but Zavian immediately held her shoulders from behind and guided her forward again so she wouldn't run away in fear.
With a trembling voice, Sheyaan said to Zavian,
loo...look… it made a...sound!"
Seeing her panic, Zavian gave a faint smile. Just then, Sheyaan watched in astonishment as the moon in the sky opened two soft, adorable eyes and spoke kindly,
"Sheyaan! Do you... recognize me? I'm the one...that brings peace to everyone.. who looks at... me!"
Sheyaan was completely stunned by the sight. She couldn't believe her eyes. She mumbled to herself,
"The moon… can talk too?"
Deep inside, she felt incredibly happy—so much that she forgot all her worries.
Zavian quietly observed her happiness with his calm gaze. Then he softly said from behind,
"If there's...something you want… you can take it.. from this."
Hearing this, Sheyaan was once again left shocked.
A sparkle lit up Sheyaan's eyes. She asked with surprise and hope,
"Really?"
She looked at the glowing red moon and gently asked,
"Can I...ask you for... something?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the moon's soft voice echoed,
"Of course, ask! I will surely... give it to you."
Hearing this, Sheyaan couldn't contain her happiness. She quickly said,
"Okay, can you take a picture...of both of us? And… and can you place it beautifully...inside a 'Moon Locket'?"
The moon replied instantly, warmth in its voice,
"Of course I.. can! I just need a good picture… are you ready for... it?"
Sheyaan jumped with excitement. She turned back to look at Zavian, then asked a little nervously,
"ar...are you… ready?"
Zavian watched her silently for a moment. Her innocence softened his usually cold heart. Without any hesitation, he said,
"I'm...ready."
Hearing this, Sheyaan, without any fear, wrapped her arms around Zavian's neck. For a moment, Zavian was stunned—her sudden affection caught him off guard.
But the very next second, he held her by the waist with both his hands. His closeness made Sheyaan slightly nervous.
Their eyes were locked onto each other. Sheyaan was very happy,
while Zavian remained serious, his cold gaze fixed deeply into her eyes, as if he had lost himself in them.
Zavian didn't smile, but there was a strange sense of calm in his eyes for her.
Just then, a blue light emerged from the moon and spread in the air like a small screen. Sheyaan and Zavian appeared clearly in that screen,
and in the very next moment, their picture was captured within that magical display.
At that very moment, another light emerged from the moon, and the magical screen slowly transformed into
two beautiful Moon Lockets. The moon's deep yet gentle voice echoed again,
"Hold out your hand...and take what belongs... to you."
Hearing this, Sheyaan gently stepped out of Zavian's hold and hesitantly extended her soft hand forward.
As soon as she did, the two glowing lockets softly dropped into her palm.
Sheyaan slowly opened them and saw her and Zavian's picture inside.
Her heart filled with happiness. Jumping with excitement, she said,
"Thank you! Thank you so much for... making such a beautiful.. locket!"
The moon replied warmly,
"It is my duty... to listen to the hearts of people... and bring them peace. Now, allow me...to leave."
As soon as it said this, Zavian snapped his fingers. In an instant, all the magic—the red stars and the talking moon—vanished.
The balcony was once again filled with the same old darkness and silence.
Sheyaan was slightly startled by the sudden change and turned back. Then, cheerfully, she hugged Zavian tightly and said with excitement,
"Thank you to... you as well, for showing me such...unique and beautiful...things. I'm really very... happy today!"
Sheyaan was almost bouncing with joy.
Just then, Zavian gently held her by the waist and stopped her. As Sheyaan calmed down, she realized how close Zavian was standing.
Their eyes meet locking onto each other in a silent moment slowly began to learn closer.
Closing the gap between them seeing this Sheyaan's eyes widened innocently her heart caught off guard.
In this instant it felt as if time itself has stopped.
