Cristiano's POV-

Stars look so beautiful when you look at them at midnight. It feels so calm and peaceful. It's just you and your thoughts. I should do this often perhaps with my little one. I am glad Mawra introduced me to this amazing idea. She said that it would be fun and I admit that I was not interested at all but then eventually I got lost in the beauty. She was pointing at random lines of stars and telling me about the meaning behind it. I ofcourse did approve to all her assumptions she made. I didn't want to sound rude and she didn't deserve it. Even right now she was blabbering about something but I decided to skip some talk and check on Aria if she was alright or what. I sent a quick message to mom asking about Aria.

"There, you see that bright star over there? It is believed that the loved one you lost is there, watching you all night, shining bright just for you." She said, pointing at the brightest star above. It was beautiful.

"I see my sister watching over me. She wasn't sister exactly she was my friend but we were close. God takes the best people first and so unfortunately I lost her in an accident. But I'm not sad anymore because I believe that she is always watching over me and blessing me." She says and gently wipe away the small line of tears. "Do you have any lost loved one?"

"Yes I do. My dad. He must be that bright star. He was a great man. When I was small I used to tell him that one day we will live in a big house and that we will have big cars. He used to laugh it off. Now I have everything in the world but I don't have my father anymore." I let it out. He was a great man. And I miss him all the time. She turns her head to look at me. But doesn't say anything. It's good she didn't say anything. I needed time to get back to normal.

"Come dance with me?" She says tugging at my hand. Out of all the things in the world I didn't think she would say this. Much to add in my amusement she leads me to the little place beside the table. She puts her hand on my shoulder which means I need to hold her close so I place my hand on small of her back. We start moving slowly in circles. It's not too fast and not to slow. And instantly it brings back few memories.

"Mom, you have to help me here. You know I don't do good with all this school stuff. Why can't you go instead of me. I promise I'll go next time." I whine like a baby in front of mom.

"Because it's a dance party my dear. And it's for the parent's of child. They are doing this activity so the parents can bond together. You must go this time, what is this old lady going to do there? You shall go." Mom fights back. It is clear we both don't want to go.

"Even I go this time what am I supposed to do? I can't dance you know that. What are we going to do about it." I sigh. Cristiano will be mad if I don't go this time. I've already skipped many meetings and activities.

"I can help. I mean I took few dance lessons back home." Says a gentle voice from behind. She just got back from college, already here to do the work. Looking beautiful as usual in her pink T-shirt and jeans. How can she manage to look pretty all the time. She smiles spreading warmth everywhere.

"Aria dear please come. Help us here. Cristiano needs to attend this school activity tomorrow with junior. It's a dance party. And he doesn't know how to dance." My mom fills up rest of the information. She laughs. Standing in front of me she takes out her hand. God, this is going to be embarrassing.

"Don't worry, it's not that difficult. You can do it I know." She smiles. I take her hand and get up. She leads in the middle area of living room and we stand facing each other. I look at side to see mom grinning and clasping her hands together. Ofcourse she'll enjoy it. And without any warning Aria places her hand on my shoulder. She looks at me with expectations but little does she know that I have no clue what to do.

"You don't know anything do you?"

"To be honest, no."

"Put your hands on my waist."

"What??"

"Like this." She does the awkward task by herself.

"Now slowly, we'll move side to side. Got it?"

"Yes I think." And as I said, I step on her foot."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "

"Ouch. That's alright. Don't look at feet. Look into my eyes while dancing." She says. And so I do. I get lost in the beautiful green eyes. After sometime it's not that awkward.

"Now place your hand on my back, pull me close." She says. I do and she locks her hand behind my neck. We are so close and I smell her sweet perfume. She seems too small. I want to protect her. We are now moving in rhythm. And I don't feel like a fool anymore.

"Aria thank you so much. Now I am sure I won't make a fool of myself tomorrow." I say, she tilts her head up and smiles. She is so beautiful and innocent. My gaze flickers to her beautiful lips and I don't know why I lean forward to capture them.

But suddenly she steps back. She looks amazed and I feel like a dumb person. For a moment no one says anything.

"I better go and check on junior. I'll be back." She says, her cheeks are a shade of pink.

"Wait!! I didn't mean it. Aria I know it's too much to ask but can you come with me tomorrow? I am sure junior will be happy too." I ask.

"I'll think about it Mr. Ronaldo." She goes upstairs. I know she won't say yes but too my surprise she agrees later. Why she is so understanding, I think to myself.

"Oh god, you didn't listen to me at all, did you?" I'm snapped back to reality by Mawra's voice. I see that we have stopped dancing.

"No sorry, something was on my mind." I admit. She takes off her hand from my shoulder.

"Tell me what's going on your mind."

And for a moment I think that she will be mad because on the date I am thinking about someone else.

"Its..... It's Aria"
