Chapter 20 Second Chance
The next day came with looming anticipation. It wasn’t precisely a bright day like the weather was empathic of the day to come and what was about to happen. It was partially gray in the skies. The blue sky was covered with the glum white clouds. There was no sun at sight.
Rana was dressed in white robes as she walked to the high ground where she would be executed. Her arms were bound by tight ropes behind her. Two guards walked beside her as she was brought to the ground. She looked at the tall blade that hung above her.
Rana felt surprisingly calm as her head was raised above.
She looked everywhere around her.
The townspeople were gathered at a far distance to watch her. The jury and the Elders of the Council were gathered at a closer distance. The Elders sat atop a raised stadium. At least ten guards watched the post where she would be executed.
She looked down at the ground below her.
The ground was roc

Rana and Shane were standing before the wildflowers of the desert looking ahead of them in the wide flower field where they used to spend so much time together playing when they were still children. Rana had a straw hat on her head while wearing a comfortable floral dress and a pair of cream sandals. Shane wore a moss green shirt, a pair of khaki pants, and a pair of slippers.“Feels like a lifetime since we’ve been here,” Rana said as she admired the blossoms of wildflowers that span as far as her sight could reach.The wind around them blew gaily. The ground smelled of wildflowers.Shane expelled a soft sigh from his lips as he looked at the scenic view before them. The mountains could be traced from the horizon.“Yeah, you’re right, Enara. It’s been so long ago. I now wonder what it feels like to be a kid again.”Rana laughed at his statement. Her cheeks were turning pink as she laughed with mirth.

Rana and Shane stared at the spot Ethos left after he went out of the room without saying another word. A tense silence hung around the room after he left. Rana moved and took a glass of green tea. “I don’t believe that guy,” said Ethiara as she picked a biscuit and put it in her mouth. “He doesn’t even have the gall to congratulate you but rather opposed to your upcoming wedding. What an insolent man.” She shot a look at Rana but shifted her gaze to Shane. “Do you have the date set already?” Rana looked quizzically at Shane. Shane turned his gaze back at Ethiara and shook his head. “We don’t have a date yet,” he informed her. Helios took a drink before speaking. He put the glass on the table. “When do you plan to hold the wedding?” “We haven’t talked about it yet,” Rana said as she held the glass in her hands. “We can hold it in a month,” Shane suggested as he bit into a biscuit. Rana looked at hi

"Rana, why are you once again receiving flowers from Ethos?” Ethiara asked as she came from the hallway holding a bouquet of fresh flowers in her hands. She just met a flower delivery guy on her way out for work walking by the gate when she was stopped by the guy. It’s the third day Rana had been receiving flower deliveries from Ethos. Anisa was the one who received them in the first two days but unfortunately this morning it was Ethiara who had to face the delivery guy. She stretched her hands giving it to Rana who had just come down from her room to take her breakfast. Rana took it from her and found the nearest vase in their living area and took it with her in the kitchen to put water in it. Ethiara followed her in the kitchen and watched her in the sink. “Is he courting you again?” Ethiara asked with a raised brow. Rana continued what she was doing and replied to her. “I don’t know. Maybe.” She said with a noncommittal repl

Rana looked at Ethos then immediately shifted her sight questioning Shane with her eyes.Shane rose from his seat instead and turned to look at Amara.“Aunt, we’re leaving now, as Rana is already here. We’re going to help her find furniture makers for her store,” he said talking to her mom.“Alright, then,” said Amara rising from her seat, too.Ethos also stood up and they were all sent to the doorway by Amara.“Take care in the way, kids.”“Will do, mom.”Rana said and they went out of the gate of her house.The trio started walking.“Where do we go first?” she asked.“My friend Leo lives in the next neighborhood. We can see him first,” Ethos suggested.He led them the way to Leo’s house. It was close to the sea and they had to walk up a sloped road and curve a street before they can reach his

Rana and Ethos started eating. Rana happily chewed on the meat as she savored every bite.“I miss this place, Ethos,” she said with nostalgia. “I’m so glad we dropped by here after we went to Karitt. I didn’t realize I’m already starving.”She picked more meat and noticed Shane’s plate was still left untouched.“Shane, are you okay?” Rana asked before she energetically chewed more meat and picked some more from the grill to her plate. “Are you not hungry? We’re already past lunch.”Shane looked up at her. The golden orbs behind his glasses looked at her passively. Rana was oblivious to anything but the meats that were being grilled at the center of their table.“You’re not eating at all. If you’re not taking any meat, I’m getting them all,” she said with a naughty smile on her mouth.“No, don’t hug them all to yourself, Ran

“Ethos, you’re a terrible meanie,” Rana whined like a child as she held on his arms. “How come you baked the pie without me?”“Oh, be quiet, Enara. You’re too loud,” said Ethos as they walked to the side porch of their house.Rana followed him and Ethiara to the seat. Shane a forgotten existence behind them.“But I said I’m helping you out to make them.”She said as they settled down on the seat.“This isn’t for the Harvest Festival, woman.”He said looking at her.“Still…” Rana said pouting.Ethiara gave her a saucer and a fork while Ethos helped himself first.“Ethiara, would you please shut your sister up?” he asked turning to her. “She is so noisy.”“Why don’t you silence her?” she asked back as she filled her plate with the peach pie.“That’s why I
Love Under The Moon Sky Prologue Childhood Dreams
Two kids were found sitting idyllically on a bed of wildflowers stretching as far as the horizon. The sun was bright and warm under their skin. The sky was bright as blue with sparse clouds floating by. Butterflies fluttered everywhere. The bees buzzed among flowers flitting from one bloom to the other. A grasshopper jumped from a red petal flower to a clump of yellow blooms.A young boy who had just finished putting the flowers together in a big ring stood up and went in front of the girl."I'll marry you Enara once we're eighteen," Enos said placing the ring of flowers on top of Enara's head. "Then, we'll always be together forever."The eight-year-old boy said happily to his childhood friend named Enara who was sitting in her bright lemony dress on the field of flowers while they fooled around and played with the blooming wildflowers under the bright summer sky of May. Tangles of hair fell across the side of her face while the mild wind blew her caramel hair.

Twenty years after…"Enara."He mumbled in his sleep.He stirred waking up but still kept his eyes closed. He dreamt of her again. Enara. Her soft and straight brown hair being blown by the wind on that summer day of May in the wide field of wildflowers blooming in the desert. He was her childhood love when he was still living in Lunara, the City of the Moon before he fell under the moon sky one full moon twenty years ago and woke up in an unfamiliar city he now lives in called New York."Shane, will you please get up? We'll be late for work."A woman's voice roused him up and he opened his eyes to see a woman whose blond hair was done in a high ponytail wearing a blazer and pants in ivory while doing her make-up in front of the vanity mirror."Oh, no, I have to go ahead of you."She said looking at her phone. She turned around and faced him looking at him with her blue eyes."Chris just texted me to come e
