Chapter 25

I started walking towards a lover and I noticed that the woman was starting to cry so I waved my hand for a moment and then the man just knelt down in front of the woman and went to her. The man also kissed her hair and hugged her tightly.

I smiled at what I saw because I usually keep the lovers away but this time it's different, well it's the other way around.

They deserve to be happy.

The man slowly stood up and held his girlfriend's hand and kissed her palm. The man started to tear up and the man said one by one the things that make his girlfriend happy until he also said how he liked it. They were both crying when I heard a voice coming from behind me and I knew he was talking to me.

"Looks like you're not a relationship wrecker now huh" I turned to the person who spoke and saw that he was wearing that smile on his face. I don't know if he is teasing or what?

I teased him before I answered.

"Everyday I can be a relationship wrecker but this time it's different because today, I'm a matchmaker" I promised with a smile while watching that couple.

"Oh really? What about that girl?" he immediately pointed to the woman walking on the side of the road who was texting. He is not looking at the road and there is a car nearby that will run him over. It looks like the driver has been drinking so his car is zigzagging.

I turned to the woman and was hissed. It's annoying, I thought I would be in a good mood today.

I waved my hand in the air to make the car avoid the woman, but I didn't notice that the woman was not run over, but she fell on top of a protruding rock on the road.

I just let out a sigh. I saw Cupid laugh at me.

"Destiny! Are you okay? Can you hear me?"

"Destiny! Wake up"

I heard voices calling me so I slowly opened my eyes and to my surprise, the surroundings were almost white. Wait, where am I? Is my bed so soft? Am I in the hospital?

"Thank God, you're awake. Destiny, are you okay?" Chiara's face was full of concern. His wife was behind him and from what I could see, Ethan also looked worried about his wife because my news is that pregnant women are not allowed to be stressed but look at me now, Chiara is stressed because of me.

"Chiara, sorry. I'm sorry if I worried you" I wanted to go but I couldn't because I was lying down so I thought of looking in another direction. I am also ashamed of them.

"It's okay. Don't think about it" I saw Chiara smile so I smiled back. I briefly looked around to look for Darren but I couldn't see him. Where did that one go?

"I would like to call your parents because we don't know their number so we only contacted your best friend" Chiara said smiling.

"Akia?" I asked smiling? But instead of answering, I only got a smiling face. But it's okay. At least, Akia can go.

A smile appeared on my lips for a moment as I suddenly remembered something. I'm scratching my head because the dream I had earlier is slowly coming back, well, if it was really a dream? Because right, they say that when you dream there is a possibility that you forget what happened because you woke up but now I'm wide awake and my eyes are awake but the memory of that dream is still clear to me?

"Des, are you okay? Is there a problem?" I immediately turned to Chiara who was now worried about me. I just faked a smile and shook my head. I shouldn't make it obvious to them that I'm not okay because I don't want to disturb others.

Maybe, it would be better if I discovered it myself.

"Oh, how, Des, I'm really sorry, but my husband and I have to leave, we're still guesting on TV. I'm really sorry," Chiara said with a smile. His face is so serene. It's very beautiful. This is probably the reason why Darren still loves her so much even though he is married.

They both turned around and were going to the door when I asked the reason for them to look at me.

"That's Darren, where is he?" the couple looked at each other which is weird. I don't understand why they looked at each other. Are they hiding something I don't need to know?

I saw Chiara's face suddenly filled with concern because Ethan held her husband's hand.

"Sorry to say this but... Darren, when you passed out earlier, he just said goodbye that he was going somewhere but until now he hasn't come back. Honestly, Ethan and I still want to stay but we have to attend the guesting. yon" I saw loneliness in her face. I felt my chest suddenly tighten because of what I found out.

Is it really like this? Am I really worthless to Darren? I just passed out, did he leave me?

I stopped myself from crying even though I could feel the heat in the corners of my eyes. I don't want to cry. I don't want to think that it hurts and I don't want to think that I have no value for him.

I bit my lower lip to stop my tears and I just kept listening to what Chiara was saying.

"I'm really sorry, Des, but don't worry, Akia might be coming. I'm really sorry"

Maybe, I really don't have anything for Darren. I am just a mere band aid and a rebound to him. He doesn't notice that I'm hurt because he still loves Chiara. I feel so stupid. So stupid because I just let myself get hurt like this and worst, I still wanted all of this.

"No, I should be the one to apologize Chiara. It's okay, you don't need to say sorry. Thank you very much" I smiled at what I said even though inside I felt like I wanted to explode because of the pain. As long as I can stop it, I will stop it.

"Thank you too, Des. I wish you well, the Doctor said that you can go out. We also paid the hospital bills" I just smiled at what Chiara said and after that they both left.

At the same time as the door closed, he was also one of my tears. Is it painful to accept the fact that you are not really obvious to the man you have loved even for a short time?

"It's not too late, Destiny. You can still back out from the pain in this world? You can still escape" he put both his hands on my shoulders and looked directly at me causing my forehead to frown at what he said.

"W-what are you talking about, Aiden? My, are you sick? Did you eat something wrong?" I asked him a few questions and tried to remove his hands from my shoulders, but even though I removed his hands, he kept looking at me.

"You can still escape the pain, Destiny. Just trust me because in the first place you shouldn't exist in this world--"

I was clutching my head when that memory came back again. I only shed tears when I realized what Aiden said. Is this what Aiden is saying?

Is this what he is saying, I can still escape the pain? And the pain he is referring to is the pain in the heart.

I cried as I suddenly remembered the time when Darren told me that he was going to date me like this. That day was so sweet but in an instant it was like a piece of paper that was torn apart. I put both my hands on my mouth while sobbing and while my tears just kept falling.

I used to say to myself, I can handle this. I have removed the pity from myself because it was transferred to Darren. I feel sorry for him because until now he still hasn't moved on from Chiara but look at me now, Crying because of Darren.

I feel so useless. I scripted my own happiness to somehow help others but what did I achieve? I loved that person but in return he didn't love me back.

I cried out loud when I realized that I was the only one who could find a way to escape from this pain and suffering.

I believed I could help him but I was wrong, He made him worse and I even joined myself in the game where the reward is to get hurt.

But just thinking about leaving Darren makes my heart break into pieces.

What should I do? I want to be free in this pain but I also have to feel pain just to be free from this pain.
