The canteen is more crowded today than any other day. There is a lot of trading going on. Emily ordered 2 plates of noodles and a cup of tea and went inside and sat down. Kush, the heartthrob senior at the university, is chatting with his friends at the side table. It would be wrong to say that he is just chatting. Their focus is on the screen of a friend's mobile. They are looking at something on their mobile and smiling awkwardly. Kush saw Emily sitting at the table next to him. He likes the girl. He also tried to talk to Emily in private many times. But did not get such an opportunity. Seeing Emily sitting alone in the canteen today, he thought he would take advantage of the opportunity. Kush got up and went to Emily.

"How are you, Emily?"

Emily was staring at the floor distracted. I was a little shocked when someone addressed me by her name.

"I am good, brother. What about you?

Kush replied with a salutation, "I'm fine. I thought you were bored sitting alone so I went to give you a proxy."

Emily smiled sweetly.

"Where's Jennifer? Can't I see her?"

"Jennifer is going to be fresh and will leave now. Why? Do you need her brother? Tell her to come early by phone?"

Kush was quite happy in his mind. He will be able to talk to Emily separately for some time. Kush said with a little hair,

"No, no! You guys are a couple. Always be together. So ask. Yeah, Emily, I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time. I don't know how to get started."

Emily frowned and said,

"Is something serious?"

Kush said solemnly,

"It's very serious to me. I don't know how to take it."

"No problem said"

"No, I like you. I like you differently. This feeling has been working for a long time. But I never got a chance to express it to you."

Emily raised her eyes to her forehead and looked at Kush. She was not at all ready to hear anything like that. Emily was about to say something when she saw Aldwin standing in front of the canteen door. She gestured with her hand. Emily mumbled and said,

"I have to go to the library a little. An important book has not been issued. I may not get it later."Kush was surprised and said "Okay." Emily got up and walked to the door. She went in front of Aldwin and whispered, "Come with me."

There are two main gates of the university. The second gate is abandoned. Not used. Next to the gate stands a huge almond tree with its head held high. Emily stood under the almond tree. The fire looked at Aldwin. It looks normal to see Aldwin. His eyes look browner today. Emily said sharply,

"What are you doing at my varsity? Aldwin did not answer.

"I'm talking to you! You're burning me at home, scaring me when you want. But what the hell are you doing at my varsity?"

Aldwin slowly approached Emily. Aldwin is advancing and Emily is retreating on all fours. At one point, Emily's back got stuck with the tree. Aldwin placed his hand on Emily's head. And just then, a large nut fell on Aldwin's hand. Emily looks surprised. Aldwin took the nut in the palm of his hand and showed it to Emily.

"I'm protecting you".

Aldwin's breathing is getting heavier. The warmth of his breath is spreading around. Emily has felt this warmth before. When doing assignments, in the kitchen, in the washroom. This warmth wrapped him like a net. And today maybe someone else wants to tie him up. Emily said in a low voice, "I don't need anyone to protect me. And why would I be in any danger? also you're not human. You're not alive ". Aldwin replied, "I am visible". Emily's phone rang. With trembling hands, she took the phone out of the bag. Jennifer called. To receive the call, Jennifer said,

"Where are you?"

"I'm just around the canteen. Did you go inside and sit down?"

"Yeah, come on. Our second class is in fifteen minutes."

"Ok, I'm coming."

Emily left the phone and turned to Aldwin. But she didn't see anyone. Emily looked around. "Is anyone looking for me?" Edwin stood behind Emily and placed his lower chin on her shoulder. In the suddenness of the incident, Emily hurried back. But when she saw Aldwin, she started walking backwards. Suddenly, Aldwin grabbed Emily by the waist and held her close. "You've just gone crazy looking for me. And now that I'm close, why are you moving away from me?" Emily pushed Aldwin to free herself and said "Who was looking for you? I wasn't looking for anyone. Move from in front of me." Two squirrels are sitting on a tree and eating nuts. Emily looked at them, sighed, and stepped towards the canteen. Emily looked back once. And saw Aldwin still standing and smiling at her. Emily looked at Aldwin and frowned then left the place.

Aldwin is sitting on the bank of a river. This is his favourite place when he was alive. "You went in front of Emily?" hear that Aldwin looked back. He saw his friend John standing there. Aldwin replied,

"Yes."

"Well then. I think you are so fascinated by her beauty that you decide you will never go in front of her."

Aldwin smiled. "Now just wait for your goal to be met." Aldwin became silent. Suddenly Aldwin looked at John.

"John, do you know who Emily is? "

"Who? My future sister-in-law?" John giggled. "Emily, I couldn't say how much I loved her before I was alive. "John's eyes widened when he heard that.

"Wait. What! That girl, she is the same, Emily. The one you loved when you were alive. You saved her even on the day of your accident."

"Yes. I didn't know it before I went to her. This girl is my Emily."

"So, what do you decide? Step aside from your goal?"

"No. Because my whole nation is dependent on me. I can't step aside. But I will protect her and also my nation."

"But when Emily loves you, you have to kill her. Otherwise, you will not be able to gain Moonstone strength."

Aldwin sighed,

"I don’t know. There is still time for the Full Moon to come and also for Emily's 22nd birthday. I will find some way. But I can't leave Emily alone until then. Many dangers are waiting around for her. "

"Ok, dude. I will be with you." hear that Aldwin smiled and hugged John.
