The trip was over yesterday. The beautiful days gone and over. I wonder if we can all go for a trip like that ever again. We don't know what the future would be like, where we will settle and the main thing will we still be in touch with each other? Even if we do can we put aside some time to go out especially the trio since they would be super busy with their business deals, me on the other a mere employee can get leave but not them I think. I will treasure the memory forever and though I complain regarding the numerous we got I am actually very happy about it since they remind me of the great days. Not just the day of photo shoot G got us pictures of the dinner and the next day.

But that's not the issue here. I am dead sleepy. Remember when Gouenji said that he would make sure I wake up and exercise every morning? I thought he would not miss the chance to torture me and it turned true. He started torturing me the day we returned. How do you think he makes sure I exercise? He jogs along with me. At 3:00a.m, in the morning. Bloody hell! Who wakes up at that ungodly hour?

Yesterday night I returned to my apartment on Gouenji's bike. As promised I returned safely and even enjoyed the ride. I decided that I like sports bike despite the killer ride on Aram's bike. We reached home by 11p.m and after doing this and that I think reached my bed by 12 but couldn't sleep immediately, I tossed and turned, checked by phone and finally slept by who knows when.

I was finally sleeping happily but then you hear this incessant door bell ringing at 3 in the morning. I tried to ignore and sleep but the intruder was very persistent to wake me up. I woke up grumbling whatever profanities I knew under my breathe and opened the door full force ready to release my wrath on that unlucky person but Gouenji revealed himself at the door making 'me' the unlucky person.

"What are you doing here early? Did you forget something with me?" I asked yawning.

"No."

"Then?"

"Get ready."

"Why?"

"Jogging."

"What?"

"Jogging."

"I heard you. But why me and why at this ungodly hour? Will someone even get up at this time?" I whined.

"You said you sleep because no one makes sure you wake up and I accepted the responsibility to wake you up." I said that, didn't I? Screw me for saying such nonsense. Can't keep this damn mouth shut!

"You needn't do that for me." I smiled at him willing him in my mind to go back.

"I gave my word and I won't back  on it."   

"I won't consider it against you if you forget it so.."

"No, we are wasting time come on." He said ushering me in. When did he even wake up and got ready to be at my home this early? He is certainly not human. May be he is some kind of alien. That explains his abilities. I should consider this theory and keep an eye on him. May be I would discover his secret base and secrets of his world.

"Well then, may be from tomorrow. We just returned from the trip and I went to bed late."

"No, we should not delay anything. If we start to postpone we will keep on doing that. When we decide to do, something do it right away. That's the secret of success."

"Yeah, I know but I kind of don't want to do it."

"Yes, the roots will be bitter but the fruits will be sweet."

I think now I know why he is successful and I am not. I always procrastinate but he never does. I really admire you for that but still I want to sleep. Also he is one persistent bossy boss. 

"So go and change now. I took the responsibility and I have to fulfill it." Damn responsibility! Does he think I was born yesterday to believe his shit? He just wants to annoy me and finds entertainment in my misery.

And so I got dragged into walking but it was really good. We ran out happily feeling the fresh air on our faces. We smiled and talked a lot and I felt that we were getting closer. I didn't know till today that I could run that fast, it was nothing at all and Gouenji and I ran without a care in the world. That was fun. I though we should do it everyday.

                                                                              //Jogging//

Did you really think that was real?  Congratulations on being fooled successfully!That is an ideal case and what I hope happened. In reality I am panting and wheezing after fifteen minutes. I know! But Gouenji he didn't even break a sweat. He looked like he was on a walk with his girlfriend in the evening. So relaxed and calm even though he is running ahead of me. He never once stopped running making me irritated. It's like he is rubbing it in me that he can run so smooth while I can't!

             //Jogging reality:Astrea panting and wheezing behind Gouenji who is running//

 I was panting and sweating like crazy after the first fifteen minutes but Gouenji didn't even break a sweat. He is so fresh and cool as if on a walk with his girlfriend in the evening which made irritated seeing I am the only one suffering. While returning I could barely joggback so I was Gouenji dragged me back home. Ah! No!Don't expect piggy back rides or something like that! He held my hand and walked me back and he looked so calm and happy. 

 And so went for jogging at 3 in the morning and he made me run till 6. Yes for bloody three hours  right from the start. I hate him. He left saying he will arrive at the same time tomorrow. Why? Why does it happen to me? Before I have to wait for his torture by the time college timings but now it starts before college so early in the morning. I think I committed a serious sin in my childhood which I don't remember and god is punishing me like this for that. Or else why would I be tortured like this? Oh Please! I am sorry for all the mistakes I did. No more punishments!

I literally felt like whacking Gouenji's head because he sure is enjoying my pathetic state.After that I slept barely for an hour and had to get ready for the college. I was so damn sleepy in all the classes. By the afternoon I was dead sleepy. I got Gouenji's and my lunch and tried to sleep on the table.

"Oh! Somebody is sleepy!" Kidou said poking my cheek. I swatted his hand away.

"Don't disturb! I didn't sleep well last night." I said in a very whiny voice.

"Why? Couldn't sleep if Gouenji is not by your side?" He joked.

"No, he is the reason why I couldn't sleep."

"What? Having fun with the 'chocolates' you bought?" He teased.

"No, he made me exercise at an ungodly hour." I said huffing and pouting. There is no reaction from the said culprit.

"Come on, eat something. You didn't touch anything. You can't waste food." Aram said coaxing me to sit up and eat something. I pushed the plate towards him and lied down again.

"You can have it if you want and save it from being wasted."

"But you need to eat something."

"I won't die from not eating a day." I said whining.

"But.."

"Shut up and let me sleep." I said throwing something random at him.

"Oh! Someone's cranky."

"Yes, if you will I will appreciate some peaceful hours of sleep."

"Okay then, how about you come with me?"

"Why should I?"

"Because I have to run some errands for the school and I have permission to leave after lunch break. So if you come with me we can run errands for half-an-hour and then you can sleep to your heart's content."

I sat up straight at this.

"Aram! You are my god! I love you." I blew a flying kiss at him smiling a billion watts smile at him. He is amazing.

"I love you too my dear." He said blowing a kiss back at me. I heard something break beside and I saw a broken spoon in Gouenji's hand.

"Ooh! You are so strong!" I exclaimed wondering and testing his muscles.

"Are you, by any chance, drunk?" G asked.

"Nope! I hate alcohol. So yucky!"

"But you are kind of like that!"

"I am so when I am sleepy! I want to sleep." I said lying down on the table again. "Aram! Eat fast."

"Yes ma'm." He said saluting me and chuckled.

"I am finished." He said a little after ten minutes. "Are you sure you don't want to eat?"

"I ate some. Let us leave." I sat up straight but didn't have the heart to leave the chair. "Can you carry me?" I said extending both my hands and giving him a very pouty look.

"As much as I would like to we can't have more broken things."

"Are you saying that I am heavy?" I glared at him.

"No, I am saying if I carry you someone will break my arms or the things around him."

"You, are saying nonsense. I bet they are excuses not to carry me. You are not my god anymore!" I said pouting.

"Ah yes! Okay." He said taking my stretched hands making me stand up and my legs followed Aram's legs since my eyes are barely open. I can feel a headache brewing.

"No bike, because if I sit on your bike now I can't hold on properly and I will end up sleeping in the hospital or sleeping permanently."

"Okay, okay" He said trying to support because I am so wobbly. "We will take my car. Are you sure you didn't have alcohol by accident?"

"Nope! No drinks from the morning. So, no accidental drinking."

"Okaaay." He said opening his car door and making me sit. He put on the seat belt and closed the door. I leaned on the window and closed my eyes. I dozed off sometime because Aram shook me awake.

"I am going inside to purchase some needed things. Will you stay here? We can go home after this." He said and I nodded yes yawning. He went in and didn't come out even after 15 minutes. I felt bored and walked out of the car. Leaning on the car's front I waited for him my eyes wandering to the streets.

I saw someone familiar standing at the side of the road. For a minute I couldn't remember who but then again how could I forget him? The one who said 'I don't mind dating you.' The one whom I unintentionally defended and the very one who accused me of ulterior moves. I huffed at seeing him remembering the false accusations he did against me. I guess it is difficult for rich people. You don't know who is there for you and who is there for your money.

I sometimes doubt myself if I am fond of my friends because of them or because of their influence and riches. Though I know that I will still be friends with them if they penniless in a night, I still doubt myself. It can't be helped because it is part of what they are and I couldn't separate that. All I need to know is that I will still be with them in the future no matter what irrespective of how we started. I love them all and that won't change.

 Poor guy! Life seems to be tough on him then again when is it easy on someone? Life is hard. We believe other's life is easier than us but everyone has their own issues and own problems. We just think that they have it good in their life but in reality that is not true .No one is truly happy. Life is a battle and happiness depends on you. It is up to you to pick up yourself again and move forward. We can't stop because of a crisis. Moving forward is what we can and what we should do.  

I looked at him in further thought. He looked a little down unlike the first time i saw where he held his head high. I hope he is okay. He has trust issues. I hope he can find good friends like us. He looked at the signal and started crossing the road slowly. He seemed very down and I felt sad too at his downstruck face. But the incessant horn made me look up. A heavy truck is coming his way at a high speed blowing the horn heavily. I looked back at him in horror but he is still walking slowly with a defeated look on his face.

"Hey!" I shouted but he didn't respond. Is he trying to kill himself? Oh dear god! Is it suicide? Oh no! I can't have that! His precious life can't be ended like that! Without thinking twice I broke into a run after him. Those crucial five minutes were like a dream, the incessant horn from the back and that guy walking slowly at snail's pace. Couldn't he walk any faster? I ran with all my might and pushed him harder along with me out of the way. The truck passed past us at a high speed making me almost visit Hades. I sighed from relief at escaping the accident and on being to able to save him but my relief was short lived. That guy fell down on the other side of the road from my hard push a good distance away from but I wasn't that lucky and some other vehicle hit me! A bike I think. I couldn't feel the pain from the shock but I fell down. The guy I saved dusted himself and looked up at me. Seeing me hit by the bike and falling on the road his eyes widened. I couldn't feel the hard road beneath nor could I feel the blood trickling on the road.

"Destiny!" He shouted running to me. He knows my name I thought faintly as he came running towards me. Now I could feel the pain in my hand and my head but mostly I felt numb. The blood coming out from where, I don't properly but making me scared of my position. Are my injuries fatal? Is it going to be my last few minutes?

I heard my name from somewhere and soon enough Aram was on my other side. His eyes were watery and he took me from the other guy's hands onto his lap. That hurts idiot! Didn't someone tell you not to move an injured person? I moaned in pain and he said sorry. People started gathering around and I could hear them shouting to call the ambulance.

"Destiny! Destiny!" Aram started to shout at me but I could feel myself loosing the consciousness. Thing are turning faint. "No Destiny! Stay with me! You have to be conscious!" He shouted now tears freely falling from his eyes. Soon the ambulance arrived and the medics got out the stretcher and lifted me onto it. I am scared now. I feel as if these are my last minutes. I don't know the extent of my injuries. Are they fatal? If I manage to survive are there going to be any permanent injuries? My vision turned all blurry and I couldn't look any further. The voices turned deaf a long time back making me wonder what is going on. Images of parents and friends flashed making a lone tear escape afraid that I would leave all of them. I tried keeping awake afraid to lose consciousness but it was too sleepy and I couldn't stay awake for long. I lost the battle with myself and fell asleep.
