I fed Dannon and he is sleeping in his little cradle amidst all the busy life in the office and its busy schedule. Everywhere you see people would be working on their computers, moving around with files, discussing in groups, some sleeping on tables with exhaustion, all the perfect picture of an office with a deadline to complete an important schedule. Reporters still cloud around Gouenji's home.

Luckily they still haven't found this office or else I don't think we could deal with them amidst all the busy schedule. No matter how early we start and how late we get home there would at least be a single reporter. It's been two weeks since news exploded about the downfall of Shuuya's. Gouenji made sure the news about this new company is a secret. In about two weeks we will go public.

Personally I think media too will help us in publicity. Apart from the publicity we are planning and doing, media will give us free publicity and by maintaining this office a secret currently and revealing it at once with the news of game release will definitely make a headline and all that my dear friends would be free publicity.

Already news is going on trying to speculate about what is going on inside the Shuuya's residence. I don't have time to check the news but I check it when going home and coming to office, also I have to decide on publicity means. Various news are going on with different headlines. I say international level gossip. The old Shuuya company is not a toys business, though not no.1 it sure has it's fame all around the world and the news about Shuuya's became the focus for international gossip.

Gouenji's intelligence, his out of box ways, his looks, his way of dealing business basically everything about him makes news. I am not completely sure why but every small thing about Shuuyas especially Gouenji makes big news and public is also very interested about it. I too made it in news. I never thought I will make into news, especially in this way. There is a special form on me, my family background, my education, my height and many more things are speculated and that is all because I appeared with him many times.

Basically we leave the house together and arrive together and that peaked media's interest. It didn't help that Dannon appeared with us while getting home sometimes. While going to office Dannon would still be asleep so I don't bring him with me, someone brings him to me around afternoon before he starts making a fuss and he stays with me till night, after I put him to sleep mostly Kidou will take him back but once we went home early for changing and so I informed Kidou that he need not come and I will bring him with us and so the media got a photo of us three together. That made very big news. Tabloids exploded with this photo and the question of us having a baby together. I mean come on!  Like seriously?

I have to be thankful that my mom and dad are not much interested in gossip and news about rich people. They do know about this whole deal of their business coming down indirectly because of me and me working in their new company. My mom told me to be with them regardless of the situation. She told me that Gouenji is her son-in-law no matter what situation is, either be him poor or rich. I don't know if I should be happy about this or sad, happy because she supports me to be with them no matter what the consequences or sad that she hasn't given up on her notion of son-in-law.

Two weeks are over since the start of the new business and though they face problems initially on quality of the picture, the large memory it requires, smoothness of the motion they solved it finally with lot of effort. Gouenji practically became a robot. If I did not remind him and stayed with him I doubt he would ever sleep or eat. This week they are going to do various tests and improve it further mainly the space it is taking up, it's compatibility with various phones, background music synching, game server ability to have many players at the same time and what not.

Financially on my side things are good. We are trying in various ways to make the expenses as less as possible. New ways and new thinking. People on my side are good and friendly and them being young helps us to unite, no superior or inferior things, everyone is equal and ideas are what we want. As for the music for game I asked Daniel to do it but he refused. I right out told him that I am just giving him a chance, make music and we will hear and if, only if we think it is worthy we will use his piece no partially but he said he couldn't make it in such a small time. No matter how much I pleaded I couldn't make him give it a shot.

So for that I searched and found a person who made his entry just around an year back. He is very talented if you ask me, all the music pieces he released are good. There's a good balance between the music and his voice. Most of the music pieces I heard either have loud music in the background making us unable to hear the song or the song would be great and the music would be so so but this person makes a good balance between the two.

In one word it's just magical. Godly and mesmerizing. His identity is not revealed though. He is known as the big D who shook the music industry, no one knows who he is. On the label there would be his face with a big hat on and his face bent not showing his face making him anonymous. He became a big deal in the industry and his mysterious nature only added to his fame. News is that he will come out in public this year.

I wanted him to do the music for the game very much but I doubted that big of a star would agree for something like this, especially for a game but I couldn't give up without trying. How can I? And so I did and surprisingly he agreed when contacted. We even planned an intro song for the game along with the background music. I mean like a trailer to a movie. He agreed for that and he plans to make public debut with this trailer song and I was so shocked when I heard about this. That means all his fans would definitely see the trailer and our game would make a big news. It will be sensational.

The ever news making Gouenji Shuuya and his game which would be even news making, getting released with the public appearance of a very, very popular music star. I bet he made millions and billions with the CD's he released. He released only two CD's but both of them made hits out there like nothing before in the music industry. Big D is the musical prodigy. All this promotion arrangements will be done in the next week. He already started with composing and making and in the starting of next week he will bring the music CD's for us to hear the background music and make an okay. The promotional video making will start then, I mean the next week, the last week of the month that is put aside for promotional means and that is when I will get to meet him. I am excited to meet him.

When I think about what happens after the release of the game I get goose bumps. It will be a big success for sure but how big of a success is what I am looking forward to. The picture quality, smoothness, innovative idea everything about the game is super interesting. It will be very exciting after two weeks, a very big sensation in the news and I believe we will be covered in all the newspapers and all over the news. I am glad we are making it much more of a big news by adding the musical prodigy to our news. The media will die to know about this. Thinking about it makes me all excited and jittery.

Leaving all the business matters aside I am leaving early today that is by 11 in the night since I promised Lillian that I will make it home tonight for her. Fidio went running to her so I will get to know what happened after I reach there. G is with me still and her face down with some kind of worry. Is she also trying to share something with me like Fidio stalled around Gouenji to say about the Lillian matter. Because Lillian called so I confronted him and he said it all out what he wanted to say but what about G. I don't know what she wants to talk about so I am staying silent giving her the chance to say what she wants. To be frank I don't know what to say to her and that is the reason I am staying silent.

I took Dannon from the cradle in my arms. I don't use baby sling to carry him while he is asleep. I think he will uncomfortable if I use it when he's asleep. It's only for when he's awake. When he's asleep I take him in my arms and keep him as comfortable as I can. G came with us. I will stay there the whole night while Gouenji will return shortly. I told him that I can manage but he wants to come and once he decides something we can't change his heart.

We returned home and Lillian was nowhere to be found as do Fidio. I called her but none returned, so mind as well sleep and get rest, I have to return early. I swear I will sleep for a whole day after the release of game. I am getting less and less sleep everyday but for sure I am not working as hard as Gouenji and that makes me want to do more.

"Destiny." G called.

"Mind if I sleep with you tonight?" She asked me.

"Of course not. Come on." I said smiling at her. Hope she will tell me what is bothering her.

"What are you doing?" She asked me getting on the bed with me.

"I am seeing if there are any new outfits that I can buy online for Dannon. I often dress him up in cute outfits and get his photo taken. I realized I am not doing it these two weeks but I don't have time so I am searching if there are some online."

She stayed silent with the same worried face that worries me. I placed my hand on hers and she looked at me her face on her knees.

"What's bothering you? Mind telling me?"

"I really feel bad but I can't do anything about it."

"Why are you feeling bad?"

"I am afraid you will hate me too. I have enough people to hate me as it is."

"I won't hate you."

"I thought the same about this person too. I thought he will love me forever but that was long ago. He hates me now and breaks my heart every day. I don't feel like living anymore."

I was shocked at what she said. I never really thought that she felt such deep pain and hurt deep inside. Am I really such a bad friend? I turned her to face me and looked in her eyes to try and convey it to her as sincerely as I can.

"Don't think so. I will never, ever hate you. Ever. If you do or did something wrong I will scold you, get angry at you and make you go in the right direction. I will never hate you. Human do mistakes. Everyone does at one point or the other. That doesn't mean the end. That doesn't mean you are the worst person alive. You have to know what you did wrong and correct it. You have to make up for what you did. Try to correct it and move forward."

"What if you can't rectify your mistake?"

"Tell me what happened. I can't help you if you don't tell me. Please. Believe in me. I won't leave you. Ever." I tried convincing her. I looked at her and tears flowed from her eyes making my heart clench. Here she was, always the active girl, crying silently and I can't do anything about it. She was always cheerful. Who knew under all that facade she was always this sad and bearing a burden that she couldn't tell anyone. Can I lessen her worries? Can I make it alright for her?

"Dannon is my son." She said full on sobbing.
