Chapter 32

When we arrived at the said hotel, you could see how many famous and big people in the industry were all here.

Some were just arriving while walking on what looked like a red carpet while they posed and were photographed by showbiz reporters.

I just stopped paying attention to everything around me when I felt Darren hold my hand and he even interwined it and squeezed it for a moment so that I could bathe him.

"Nervous?" Can I just say yes?

So instead of answering his question, I just nodded causing him to laugh softly. I was confused by what he did and I almost frowned.

"You know what, you're so cute when you're like that?" I was even more confused by what he said but he just ignored me so I was forced to just forget what he said.

We continued our walk until we reached the red carpet where the showbiz reporters were. At first I thought we were just taking pictures because I was wrong because Darren stopped us for a moment so he could answer their questions.

Darren did not refuse and he agreed.

"Baby, we're not in a hurry, are we?". he whispered in my ear which brought chills down to my spine and made my cheeks blush but I didn't show it anymore and shyly just nodded at what he said.

"Darren, are you going strong with Miss Destiny?". at the same time as the camera continued to flash, it was as if my ears started to go deaf and I went blind. They speak at the same time and only one can understand.

I felt Darren's grip on my hand getting tighter causing me to look up at him, only to find out that even though he wasn't looking at me, he was smiling.

"Of course, Des and I were pretty strong in this relationship." I don't know but it's like something got stuck in my throat when he said it. Strong in this relationship? I don't know, but why do I feel like I'm the only one who loves this relationship?

I stopped my own tears when I thought about that. I have to hide my emotions and it's hard because someone might notice.

"Thank you, Darren" thanked the reporter while other reporters continued to take pictures of us. I was blinded by the light because my right eye was almost closed.

"Destiny, are you sure that you are really meant to be for Darren? Or will he be hurt like before?" I felt stiffened by what I heard. Was he joking when he asked?

Meant to be for Darren? If I only hold destiny, I will do it and if we are not meant for each other, I will find a way just so that we can stay together even if the result is that many people will know that I am desperate.

"W-what..." I began. I was really speechless and I felt like all the words I knew were immediately erased from my mind just because I was so nervous.

While I was about to eat, the reporter was looking at me bored and pissed off, and it looked like he was really forced to wait for my answer.

"What! How long will you have to wait there? You're not going to answer my question, are you!". the reporter shouted loudly. He is really pissed off and he looks like he can break the wireless microphone he is holding.

That's why I was even more nervous about his behavior and I also felt like the tears were going to fall one by one. I felt fear and shame because of what this reporter did.

"W-what... it's like this---" I started again but I didn't finish what I was going to say when Darren cut me off because he just snapped.

"Tell me, how dare you talk to my girlfriend like that? Who told you to just embarrass her like that? Did I give you permission?" everyone turned to Darren because of what was done, even those who were just getting in and out of their respective cars turned their backs on us.

I didn't know what to do so I just went, I feel that not only I was embarrassed by this but also Darren. I just stayed bent until I felt Darren's grip on my hand tighten a bit and then the loud scream of the female reporter earlier.

"Guess who's talking here? Darren? The broken hearted singer? Geez! If you only knew you'd be a waste! What a waste!" The woman's words were so strong that almost all the reporters turned their attention to the two of them and the newcomers were already looking at the two of them.

The more I leaned, the more guilty I felt. I feel like I shouldn't go to this party because it's only actors and famous people! But who am I to come here?

I'm just Fate Destiny Marie Carbal who recently I found out that I'm not that and I'm an element that balances the events in people's lives. And in other words I am not a person.

"I don't care if I'm a waste! What's important to me is that you don't insult my girlfriend!". I could feel the shock of Darren's words but I kept my head down until I felt that my tears were falling one by one.

What have I done?

"You have such a narrow mind! Don't you know that you remain famous only because of that girl?" she paused for a moment and then I just felt something pull me out causing me to gasp and raise my face only to see that girl reporter in front of me while she was still holding a strand of my hair.

He just held it tight while looking at me very badly.

"Let you're fifty hands off her!" Darren ordered the woman authoritatively but she still didn't let go of my hair and I was closing my eyes tightly because she raised her head even more so that I could be with her, I even heard her laugh softly and then whisper he..

"Hit the ground!"
