Chapter 24

"D-des .." he said my name so I could let him go but I didn't let him go but I tightened it even more so he wouldn't let go.

"Des, what's wrong with me" she said through gritted teeth but I still didn't let go of her. I just went and didn't notice my tears falling one by one.

"H-honestly .." my voice was full of trembling. "I don't even know why I'm asking you like this but I want to know at least a little because I'm confused" I let go of his hands and I thought he would listen or that he would come with me but I was wrong because when I let go of him immediately he just stood up.

Have I gone insane?

Time passed and I went home but I didn't stay at home but at the park where we first met. I just sat on the swing and slowly turned it on. I was also just looking at the people passing by.

What is happening to me? Why do I have to ask myself?

But isn't it strange because I don't remember a single childhood memory. Even my classmates in high school or maybe in my first year of college, I don't remember anything.

Is it true that I should not exist in this world?

I just wiped the tears that fell from my eyes one by one.

Why do I feel like my existence is just a mere .... nothing?

Does this mean --

"Still thinking about your existence?" I automatically turned to the person who spoke. I am here and I hope that my questions are over.

"I'm sorry if you didn't expect me to be here but believe me you'll be thankful when you find out I can help" I felt like I was puzzled. I don't understand him, he just disappeared when the paparazzi came and now...

"How?" That's all I said while looking deeply into his piercing eyes.

"But first, promise me that you won't tell anyone." He paused and looked me straight in the eyes, forcing me to nod to what he said.

"Okay. You shouldn't exist in this world but because of that one mistake you became a person." I frowned at what he said. Tell me, is this the Aiden that I know? He acts and sounds different now.

"M-mistake?" He grinned. But I just didn't pay attention to that.

"Yeah, but if you want, even now you can escape the pain of being hurt by someone you love who doesn't love you." My eyes widened at what he said.

I was about to open my mouth to ask but he already preceded me.

"I have the ability to know things and so are you." I was stunned by what he said and suddenly the worry flashed back to me where I see who are destined for each other.

"You can now live your life as a creature where the balance of human life is adjusted like before. If you want it now, You can have it right here right now but you have to leave Darren to obtain that" I was stunned i heard I have to leave Darren just to live a perfect life that I already had as Darren says.

The offer is tempting but I realized that I would be selfish with the people I leave behind, the ones I love in life I will just leave them and that includes Darren.

I shook my head and faced Aiden. "I can't accept it, Aiden. I would be selfish if I do that thing. I'm sorry but I won't accept it" and I stood up to leave in case I heard him speak causing me to stop.

"If you really know the whole story maybe you will agree to my offer but I won't tell you everything first. I will only stay until you have made the right decision. You only have 2 months to decide, Destiny so choose wisely"

I felt that he was already walking, deviating from the way I was going.

"And also, Destiny it's in my plan to flirt and break up with Tiffany. It's in my plan to talk about that night when you're going to have a love life. Please be wise, Destiny. Can you identify the real Cupid?" and he continued his walk and I just watched him walk until he completely disappeared from my sight.

-----

I don't know if it was all just a nightmare but the next day everything was back to normal. Aiden is back to being nice and friendly, while Akia is writing on a paper designed for writing love letters. Wait, does anyone still sell things like that? Are there still mail carriers?

I didn't pay attention to what they did and I just focused on Darren's text saying that we were going on a date, not a date but a group date because we were going on a date with Chiara and Ethan.

I just let out a sigh while reading it. What else can I do? I should be a martyr, I'm a cover-up, right? But why am I hurt?

Because I have no room in his heart. Because until now it's still Chiara.

So should I just accept my fate? It's my fate that I myself decided to be the cover of Darren's hole in his heart until now Chiara is still the one screaming.

I just went and didn't realize that my tears were falling one by one. I didn't show it to them and simply wiped it with my handkerchief.

---

"So, Darren, how long have you and Des been together?" I immediately looked up at Chiara who was now happily looking at Darren. Even though we are here in a private restaurant, why do I feel like I can't breathe? Could it be because of the jealousy I feel in my chest? I have no right to be jealous, right? I'm just covering a hole, right? But why am I hurt?

I saw Darren's smile widen and he just let go of my hand that he was holding just now. I was shocked by what he did but I didn't show it and I hoped that nothing happened but why do I feel that there are tears in my eyes?

"Just last month, I dated her. It's a good thing that this girl answered me because otherwise I wouldn't know what to do--" I couldn't seem to listen to what I was hearing. Pure lies! All Darren wants to say and show is that he has moved on from Chiara.

Even if it's not really.

I felt my chest suddenly tighten. I simply put my hand on it to feel myself. I also faked a smile because I knew they were looking at both of me.

I also saw Chiara smile at me and hold the hand of Ethan-her husband. You can see a bit of her baby bump.

"Are you okay, Destiny? Do you want me to call a doctor?" I wanted to cry but I just didn't because they could see that Darren was just doing a show. A show where he is the actor and I am the extra used to cover the hero's hole.

I just shook my head and gave Darren a fake smile and just turned my attention back to the food. They continued their conversation when I suddenly felt dizzy, at first I didn't pay attention to it but when I couldn't take it anymore I told them I was going to the cr first but when I got inside the cr and I was about to close it, it didn't I couldn't handle it and I just fell to the floor and my vision went dark.
