I miss them very much. It's been a month today that I left them and staying away is even more difficult than I thought. I thought I could do it for them but everyday feels void, as if a piece of me is missing. Sometimes I just want to shut off everything and just go back to them. Sometimes I just don't want to care whatever danger that might reach them because of me and be happy with them. I miss Dannon. I wonder what my little munchkin is doing? Did he miss me?

I miss Gouenji very much, I find myself thinking every minute about him. I wonder if he is being well, if he is eating well and taking good care of his health. Is the company well? I am sure it is but what about Gouenji. If he gets involved in work he will forget about everything and doesn't take care of his health. At the company I was there to remind him to eat and sleep but what about now? Have they found some replacement employee? Someone to replace me?

Is there some girl in my position to care of him in my place? Someone close to him in my place? When I think about that my heart aches very much. I feel jealous of that unknown girl. I really don't want that to happen. I want to be the only one close to Gouenji. I don't want him to show the smirk he throws at me to any other girl or the rare genuine smiles he shows me only. This thinking of mine really baffles me. It's already been a month. May be he forgot about me already. He said it's not over between us but there was nothing between us to begin with.

I don't want to share him. But there will be a girl who can melt the ice cold heart of Gouenji. He will show her all of his expressions. He will care for her and love her, worry about her and feel possessive about her. He will hug her, kiss her may be even more. I can't digest this. When I think about it I feel queasy and there's this sharp pain in my heart. What is this? Why am I feeling as such? Gouenji is not mine so he can do as he wishes right? Then why don't I like that? What is the deal with me?

Even now I feel as if he is standing at the entrance of the cafe. His green eyes piercing me making a shiver run my whole body. His eyes shining with emotions, his face that of a concerned one looking at me with longing. Surely I am imagining things. My eyes went to his lips which kissed me the last time I was in hospital. They taste the best and even top my favorite vanilla milkshake in my hands. I think I am being weird. Who in their right mind would think about the taste of a kiss? None right? Only me! The great me! Sorry milkshake. I didn't do complete justice to you today. I will come back and savor you again.

With that thought I stood up to leave the cafe but before I could take three steps from the table I noticed G and Lillian. Fidio and Kidou is also here? That means Gouenji at the entrance is not my hallucination? Who am I kidding? Hallucinations doesn't happen in real life! It happens only in movies and books! I was too much busy in pitying myself that I failed to notice a simple fact. Knowing that he is in fact here I want nothing more than to run into his arms. But there are two problems here. One he would definitely look at me weirdly if I run to him and the following scene would be awkward and number two I have to stay away from all of them. It's for their own safety.

While I was busy pondering on what to do I was flanked on both side by G and Lillian. I decided by now, I am going to make my famous 'ignore' move. Generally I use it when I am mad at someone but the situation now calls for desperate measures. This is for their own safety.

"Destiny!" They both shouted attracted a lot of attention to us. These guys never change. I schooled my expression carefully to a blank and confused one.

"We missed you so much." They shouted covering me in kisses and others in the cafe looked at us weirdly. I don't blame them. If someone else was in my position I would look in the same way too! They are being too much. Luckily my shoulder healed completely or else by the weight they are putting on me it would pain a lot. I am a healthy being and heal very fast. No big secret except I eat a lot and my dad being a doctor I was fed very healthy things right from my childhood and my immunity is a lot good too.

"Why didn't you even call us all this time?"

"Do you even know how much we were worried about you?"

"Girls let her breathe." Fidio said coming to my rescue.

"She recovered recently." Kidou supported prying G off me who was practically dangling off me.

"Oops! We are sorry! We just couldn't control ourselves seeing you after such a long time. We didn't hurt you right?"

I just looked at them with a perfect confused expression on my face. You might not know but I am perfect at ignoring people. When I ignore people it's like I don't know them at all.

"Oh my god! We didn't hurt you right?" Lillian exclaimed worrying.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Kidou asked getting worried because I am not replying.

I feel a little guilty making them worry like this but it is necessary to keep my distance.

"Um.... I am alright." I said looking at them warily as if doubting their presence and intentions. "How do you know I was hurt?" Time to let them know that I don't know them or that is what they are supposed to think. "Do I know you guys?" That is the final blow and they all looked at me shocked. Perfect time to escape.

"Excuse me." I said excusing herself and getting away from with with hesitant steps and looking back at them in doubt in order to expel any doubts they might have. I moved forward but now is the main test. Gouenji still stood at the entrance as if waiting for me. I hope I can pass him without raising any doubt.

"Excuse me Mr." I started with a hesitant voice. "Can you move?" I continued a little strongly but still hesitant to make him believe. "You are...in the way." I said pointing my finger at him and the entrance. He moved aside but his face still showed one of that shock. I moved away from the cafe with confident steps. I could lightly hear the voices of my gang crowded around Gouenji. It pained me to acknowledge that now I am not part of that group. No, no, it's not the time to sulk. I decided this for myself and I should stick to it.

Let's go a book store to lift my mood. It's not like I belong with them permanently. I became their friend but we had to separate one day. It just happened that day came earlier than later. Okay now what new books are there. I need one with a sweet love story and definitely one with a happily ever after.

^Thud^

A hand landed on the book shelf just beside me with a big thud effectively trapping me there and if my instincts are right this is Gouenji I am dealing with. Why did I ever think that I can escape easily from him? He is a master in everything. I just hope he doesn't recognize that I am acting. I slowly turned my head schooling my expression and replacing it with a confused one.

"May I help you Mr.?" I said lightly narrowing my eyes as if I am perfectly confused as to why he is cornering me.

"Cut the crap Astrea!" His voice boomed in the store.

Shit! I am dead!

"What do you mean sir?" I asked scared no need of acting because I am perfectly scared. "How do you even know my name?"

"I said cut the crap! Don't act anymore. Why are you doing this?" He said perfectly pissed making me gulp internally. I am so dead.

"Is there any problem miss?" Thee book owner came to my help but before I could say anything Gouenji beat me to it.

"Kidou. Take care of him. I want no disturbance." He ordered  and with that the book store owner disappeared with Kidou and Fidio started moving the onlookers in the store. Great! I am now all alone in this store to deal with them, no just him, Gouenji. It's perfectly like a mafia dealing though I know very well they are not involved with mafia in any way.

"I don't know what you are talking about sir? What do you mean by acting?" I said still trying.

"Don't try my patience. I know you more than anyone. You can fool anyone but not me. You are not leaving me until you tell me the reason. In fact not even then. You are not leaving me ever."

"What's your problem? I said I don't know you." I asked him very much annoyed. Doesn't he understand that I need to stay away from him?

"What's my problem? You are my problem."

"Excuse me, Mr. You are the one who is blocking me as of now."

"Believe me when I say we can play this game all day. You are going to tell me the reason why you are acting so strange or may be we can kidnap you. It's not a big deal for me."

"Bloody hell! What's your problem? I don't kno........."

"Fidio. Limousine is waiting outside right? Call the pilot and ask him if he can get the plane ready by the time we get there." Gouenji interrupted me calling Fidio.

"Okay. I think we can. They would have refilled the jet by now." Fidio replied.

"Oh fine then. We are kidnapping her now." Gouenji said about to lift me.

"Hey wait! What's this?"

"This, my Astrea, is called kidnapping."

"Wait! I got bored okay? I got bored with you people." I shouted the first thing that came to mind.

"Bored?" Gouenji asked confused. He is going to hate me forever after this.

"I wanted to use you people but you guys are so difficult. None is getting seduced by me even after the good girl act. I don't have all my life to seduce you. There are so many other rich people in the world." I lied but that is the only chance I have. I need them to get away from me.

"You lied." Gouenji said calmly and all I could think was silence before the storm. "You lied to us! He said again cornering me to the book shelf. "I believed you. We all believed you and trusted you. We thought you were our true friend and you did such an outrageous thing by deceiving us? You were deceiving us all this time? We thought you were one of us. Because of you we even went to the edge of bankrupt and all you did was cheat us. I hated all the females in the world but I started to trust you. I believed you were different. I believed you were not one of them. But what? You wanted to use us? You wanted my money and fame? You wanted to use us, me? Listen now and listen clear. I hate you! I don't want to see you again. You are nothing to me, do you understand? You are nothing! Never show your face to me ever again."

"Remember this." Gouenji came extremely near to me and whispered in my ear. It was not like the other times where he used to whisper to tease me. I really wish I didn't lie to him in that way. I want to take back everything I said. It's true I wanted him to stay away from me but his hatred, it's too much for me. I can't take the burn. It's too much for my heart. I feel like collapsing any minute. "I hate you." He whispered in my ear and that is the edge for me. I clenched my hands and bit my bottom lip to hold back the tears desperately. I don't know what to do. Things turned worst!

************************************************************************

And so Gouenji left Destiny and that was the last time he saw her. His hatred for females grew after that and he remained a bachelor forever hating all the females, never trusting anyone and became even more cold. Destiny cried very much but couldn't understand how to reduce his hatred. She later realized that the feeling she had for him is love but couldn't do anything since Gouenji now hates her with a passion. She found herself unable to love anyone other than Gouenji and she remained unmarried all her life too. Who knows may be sometime in their 60's they will get to know their mistake and reconcile. This is THE END for their story. Sad I know! But it's not a happy ending every time. It's reality and sometimes we have to accept some things. Thanks for sticking with this book and your awesome support! I am really grateful to you guys! Good bye! Have a nice time!

*Eggs and tomatoes being thrown at author in large amount*

Hey! STOP! STOP! I am kidding! I am kidding! This is not the end! It is not the end! I am just joking! Stop it!

*Eggs and tomatoes continued*

Come on! I said I was joking!

*Gouenji appears and raises an eyebrow in silent question*

*Finally the rain of eggs and tomatoes stopped*

Gouenji: Don't you believe in me? Astrea is mine and she is never escaping any day!

*Possessive aura all around Gouenji making people flinch!*

I am sorry! *wiping egg yolk with a tissue* Somewhere I saw author interacting with readers in some dialogue format, of course not like this, and I thought why not? But I never expected these many eggs and tomatoes being thrown at me. *Completely drenched in egg yolk* I think I have choose conversation carefully and not make such stupid dialogues!

Forgive me?

Not enough?

This coolness is enough I guess!

Sorry I went bat shit crazy over there! Don't mind it! Hopefully I get my sanity back and update in a week! This is really not the end! Wait till next update to know what happens next.
