Chapter 1

"Under the same night sky, we find solace in the stars."

~Unknown

The weather was absolutely stunning, with the rain ceasing and the sky adorned with clouds. A pleasant buzz filled the atmosphere. It was already late at night, around ten o'clock, as she strolled through the lawn, donning a light blue shirt with her long, silky hair cascading freely. She anxiously awaited the return of her father, who had been away on a business trip abroad for several days.

Although the rain had stopped, the gentle breeze caused her hair to flutter. Lost in her thoughts, she gazed up at the silent sky, where the moonlight illuminated everything, making her appear as though she were a part of the moon itself. Her mind wandered to a special someone, a captivating individual who had captured her heart like a charming king from a fairytale kingdom.

In her mind's eye, she reminisced about his face, her eyes closed in imagination. Unbeknownst to her, the guard opened the main gate of their house, allowing the car to swiftly enter. Startled, she blinked her eyes open, realizing she had been so engrossed in thoughts of someone else that she hadn't noticed the gate opening.

As the car came to a halt on the lawn, her gaze fell upon her father, who was tucking his phone into his pocket after retrieving it from the car's dashboard. Mr. Jackson had also caught sight of his beloved daughter and approached her with a smile. He stood tall at about six feet, possessed a fair complexion, bright eyes, and a beard adorning his face.

"Hello, my lovely daughter. How are you?" he asked excitedly, embracing her tightly.

"I'm fine and have been eagerly waiting for you," she joyfully replied.

"Let's head inside, otherwise your mother will get upset that the father and daughter are chatting away in the lawn," he teased Luna affectionately.

A smile formed on her face upon hearing her father's words. Together, they entered the lounge where Mrs. Jackson was seated on the couch. Spotting her husband, she stood up and exclaimed, "Thank God you've arrived. We've all been eagerly waiting for you."

Mrs. Jackson then served her husband a glass of juice, which he started sipping. Concerned, Mr. Jackson inquired, "Where are Eva and Ella?"

Eva and Ella were also Mr. Jackson's daughters, but Luna held a special place in his heart.

"They both fell asleep while waiting for you since they have to wake up early in the morning," Mrs. Jackson replied.

"Dad, you should rest. You must be tired. I'll ask the driver to bring your luggage inside," Luna said, beaming genuinely.

Mr. Jackson, appreciating his daughter's thoughtfulness, nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Luna," he replied with a warm smile.

Luna swiftly arranged for the driver to bring her father's luggage inside and then rejoined the family in the dining room, where they continued their dinner. Mr. Jackson shared stories of his travels.

It was already two o'clock at night when he abruptly opened his eyes, feeling a heavy burden weighing on his heart. He dressed in black trousers and a shirt, then slipped on his slippers before heading to the terrace.

He paced quickly on the terrace, even at this late hour of the night. The moon shone brightly, casting its ethereal glow. Though the air carried a chill, his internal turmoil burned within him.

His thoughts were consumed with his past, tormenting him with his own helplessness. He pondered over why he had become the way he was and why all these unfortunate events had befallen him. His mind was overwhelmed with countless thoughts as he stared into the sky, his eyes shut. Suddenly, raindrops fell on his face, gradually turning into a heavy downpour.

Eventually, he retreated back indoors, opening the door and entering his room. Flicking on the lights, he lay on his bed but found sleep evasive. Restless, he rose from the bed, retrieved sleeping

It was two o'clock at night. His eyes were suddenly opened. He began to strange a burden on his heart. He dressed in black trouser and shirt, then he stood up and wore slippers on his feet and went to the terrace.

He began to walk quickly on the terrace at that time of night.

The moon was shining brightly. There was a chill in the air, but it was burning his own from inside.

Everytime, he remembered his past once again. He agonized over his helplessness..

He wondered why he was like that and why all this happened to him.

He had a great deal of thought in his head. He was staring into the sky, his eyes closed. It suddenly rained down on his face, and then it began to rain heavily.

And then he went back inside, opened the door and walked into his room. Turning on the lights in his room, he fell into bed and couldn't fall asleep.

Then he got up, took the sleeping pills from his side table drawer and lay down on the bed again. Drowning in memories of his past, he went to sleep.
