At the end of the month as per our schedule exactly at midnight a short clip of the video with a little hint of music was released in Social media and believe me when I say it's a big hit. Big D's reputation made it all work, his fans were so excited with his public appearance and Gouenji's appearance in this video added all the spice needed.

Media was shocked to find him in it and they were wondering the reason behind his appearance in the video when he denied any interview or never uttered a single word in reply to the ton's of questions aimed at him. Media is following him closely and trying to know the motive behind it. They are so excited and the no. Of person around our house increased ten times more.

The last promotional week was even more busy and everyone was moving around. We planned to release the short clip at midnight 12'o clock exactly to spice up things and big D's third musical CD with the promotional song as the main one will be released into the market the next day morning at 9:00 clock exact. Our little clip in the social media was a big hit, it got millions of views in just a night with tonnes of comments and people started standing in queue for the video at designated shops from 6 in the morning.

Game's theme song was the only one in which big D appeared, other songs in the CD contain only his voice with different scenarios like his previous two CD's. The first day's collection broke the previous two record crossing the total of the previous two amount. And that I say is a total success. I wondered how much it will make in total. Our company get's part of the profit since we are involved in its making. But of course the game is our main focus.

I was sure we will get a positive response but the tension still remains in the air. With the release of the cd, media got hint of what we were doing and great discussions were going on and the response was positive. The talk about the game was positive and it put me in good spirits. I hope this continues after the release of the game. After much discussion with the team we decided to release of our game "The Battle" the next day midnight.

I didn't really understand his idea of releasing things at midnight but we agreed. We want to put all our pieces out while things are hot. We won't let it cool down. While the topic of the musical CD and game was still out there making news we want to release the game and make another sensation. We wanted to give at least two days gap to let all the media talk about this but we relented to Gouenji's talk and believed in him and his idea was not bad too.

We just hoped everything went as we wished and sure things did for once, in fact even more than we hoped for. We released the game and the response for it was superb. Sales were on record level and our little company became famous overnight. Of course it is not luck but the hard work and effort of our master and company members and our joy on knowing the success of our game was boundless. The happiness you get when the thing you worked hard for becomes a success is beyond measure.

In a week the sales crossed record level and our company sitting as one of the world's best gaming company with "The Battle" as the number one popular game. The profit we got in a week restored what all Gouenji lost. That means we will get many times more as the time passes. What's important is that the company reached record level and its reputation is beyond measure. We are getting many calls congratulating us and many to buy stocks and form partnership.

After it is a big success if you think we can rest easy now you are greatly mistaken. We are still very busy and we have many things left to work on. A part of our team already started working on moving our company to a big place. Our current place is just on the ground floor and it won't be sufficient for future deals. The last Shuuya office is around 50 to 60 floors high I guess, I don't know the exact number.

Some suggest we buy a new office and I think why not we build a new office in this place, it's just I think we better design our own working place rather getting some place already built, some agree and some disagree. I too disagree with this idea even though I am the one to suggest it because it takes time to build a new one and the new one should be at least like the last one and planning the budget, buying materials and we have to make various other arrangement and all these involve a lot of work, if buying a new building it's just a one time deal and we get over with it. But is it really worth it?

Can't we put some effort and time and build a new office like we want and dreamt? I just left the decision to everyone stating all the plus and minuses. We still haven't taken any decision and another thing is we are recruiting members. The work load is increasing and it is difficult to manage with the current staff we have. Many are showing interest and we got thousands of applicants. We have to put aside some time to select some from the applicants and then conduct interviews and all. We set aside a team of experienced people in various departments and time slots for that.

It will take much more time for this to settle down and for us to have a regular schedule. And let us not forget about the media. They found our office and now some settled here and so it is difficult to enter the office too. They are not even leaving the employees too asking them to make a statement, the future plans of the company and etc. We still haven't gone out and made a statement publicly to the media.

When asked when we are going to make a public statement he just walks in casually as if cameras and Mike's weren't being shoved at him. Our company people too understood that we can't get it out of him if he doesn't want to and hence we left him alone in that matter. As the company's president and CEO we will leave that matter to him. After all he never let us down so why not? Things are difficult but we stopped working overtime, not exactly working way overtime. We still work twelve hours 8 to 8. All this will settle soon.

"Destiny."

"Yes. Mr.Big D." I said being all formal with him. I don't know if I should treat him like a friend all familiar since he is Daniel or like the big music star that he is. Since he stopped me from telling our friends I am assuming that I have to treat him like a big star.

"Why the formalities now?"

"Not sure how to address you. So why are you here."

"Firstly leave the formalities aside and as to why I am here I have a party and a small press meet now and it's regarding the music cd I released."

"Oh! Is that so? kay. All the best!"

"Thanks. Now come on." He said taking my hand and dragging me with him.

"Hey! Where are you taking me?"

"To the boss office. We don't have much time. The press meet starts in another 15 minutes."

"And he needs to be there?"

"Yes."

"And why are you dragging me there for that?"

"What do you mean? You both need to be there."

"And why is that?"

"You are the main presence there. Did you forget that you are in the video too?"

"Ah, no but I don't think I am needed there. Both you, the big D and Gouenji are the big shots who should be present. I am not needed." I stressed both him and boss hoping that he would leave from the media circus.

"And why are you not needed?" Gouenji said since we entered his office just then. "You are absolutely needed."

"That's what I am saying." Big D said.

"Don't say things without knowing the entire matter."

"Who said I don't know? If I am not wrong you are refusing to come to the press meet." He smirked.

"Exactly!" Big D said. His character is very different in this big D form. In college as Daniel he would talk very rare and is very serious but now he is completely different. I think I like the old Daniel better.

"You knew about the press meet?"

"We need to go right now!" Daniel interfered this time dragging me outside making me remember the starting days of college. At the start of the college year I was dragged in the same passion by Aram and Robert. Now it's Daniel's turn huh?

"Can't I really just stay in the office doing my work? You know there's so much to do. We can't go and party outside with all the work that is piled up. We can't be irresponsible." I said trying to escape using work as the last means of resort to escape. I know it is dirty but that's my only shot.

"We need to take break once in a while from work." Big boss, I mean Gouenji replied.

"So says the workaholic."

" What do you mean? I do take break and refresh myself."

"And when is that?"

"When you come to me. You entertain me pretty good."

"So am I now your official personal entertainer?" I hissed very much so pissed though not showing outside.

"Sure. I feel energized after watching you." He said as if it is a matter of fact making me more than pissed I already am.

"Do you knowthat the energy you are talking about is sucked in from me?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Is that so? Thank you for giving your energy for your boss."

I fumed and seethed with anger! This guy one day would surely be death of me!

"I am sorry! You just amuse me so much!" He chuckled.

Does he know that it really doesn't sound like an apology at all? Is he trying to make fun of me more?

"I agree with you on that!" Big D said joining Big Boss or more like Big Bully!

I never replied them because that would result further digging my own grave so I sat silently fuming with BBs beside me and we soon reached a...........mall?

"Umm? What are we doing here?"

"Getting you ready for party." Big D replied monotonously his Daniel self showing up.

"What do you mean? I can't go like this?"

"If you really want to go in office attire amidst fully gorgeous actors and such people you are welcome to. In case you say you don't care about that let me tell you it will attract attention to your every move." Big D said effectively shutting me up. Wearing inappropriate dress is a big no, no for me. I like blending in.

"Don't worry! G took care of your dress."

And such I was thrown into the cruel world where they did top to body transformation and I turned into a gorgeous lady that I can't even recognize myself is what I would like to tell but that is not the case. They just gave me total body wax(most painful part), fixed my hair with crown hair do and make up, I don't know whether it is heavy or not since I am not sure about things related to make up but it sure made me feel little pretty.

My dress, again one of G's collection, a plain maroon dress party dress paired with silver stilettos. I like it. As I said my tastes tend more towards plain and simple. A red coat was attached with it which matches the outfit and to protect myself from cold until I reach the party and after that!

                                                                        //Destiny's outfit//

I won't say I am out in a jiffy but I don't think I am not too late! Just a few hours, may be two or three. I expected them to be waiting scowling at me but surprisingly they are not. They even intervened, giving suggestion and picking up what's better for me. I came out completely ready and found Gouenji out there waiting for me. He wore a white button up shirt with a red suit which suspiciously matches mine and I think I have to thank G for that! I internally face palmed myself.

                                                                      //Gouenji's outfit//

Though I am seeing Gouenji in suits frequently these days at office meetings when essential, still he looked very good in this. Eye catching! I don't think it's a complete suit thingy, I don't know what it is called but it is like semi suit especially suited for younger generation in my opinion. Elders don't take offence please! And Big D today dressed in a nerdy style with spectacles and so but completely towards hot nerd type! I hate to admit it but he looks hot!

                                                                         //Big D Outfit//

Coming back to the main issue I really don't want to sit in a press meet. Media spotted me frequently with Gouenji and they are questioning me about our relationship. They won't settle if we say there's nothing between us. They will keep on asking and who knows what loopholes they find in what we say and what stories they would be formulating.

If possible I want to stay away but this big D is not at all hearing what I am saying. What is it that he wants actually? What is it that I want? If I have to answer what should I answer? What is there between us really? Is there really nothing? Why do I feel sad when I think there is really nothing between us? Do I really want something? Stop this nonsense! Don't think of nonsense.

Wanting something more, wanting what you can't have, this is the reason for the sadness of the entire human race. Desire! That's the root for every grievance. Don't desire anything and you can be happy all you want! Wait do I really desire something. Just as before don't even think about it! I never faced this kind of situation before. This started after Gouenji entered my life. Does it mean I feel something for him? Don't think too much and delude yourself that something is there when there is nothing. Is there nothing between us really?

"Ah! I don't care! I don't care at all!"

"Yeah, yeah I got it. You need not care. Just sit tight in the interview. That's enough."

"Ugh! What do you mean?" I asked confused and just then the door of the car opened. Gouenji got out first and gave me a hand. I took his hand not just out of courtesy but also because the flashes are dazzling me. Cameras became daily issue for me recently but still it is different when you know you are going to answer them not just ignore them!

"That's not what I meant!" I whisper hissed as soon as Big D came to my other side. He took other hand and once again in my life I am being sandwiched by two guys in this style but the situation now is way too different. Being escorted by two big shots is putting unnecessary light on me. I smiled very tightly. I am sure I will cringe tomorrow seeing my photos in the newspaper at my horrible expression.

And just like that I was carried off to the interview and that is how I am sitting in a white chair on the dais with Big D and Gouenji on either side of me and with cameras clicking continuously, flashes going on making me almost blind and many questions thrown at us at the same time making it almost like a chatter not even a single question understandable.

"I know that the music CD I released recently caused a big sensation especially with Mr.Gouenji Shuuya in it but if you keep on asking question all at once I am afraid we would not be able answer even a single question and the press meet would be a waste." Big D said joking. "How about you ask questions one by one?"

"Your new CD created a sensation and its sold widely. What is your response? Did you think your CD would be this big hit?" One person asked.

"Would I sound arrogant if I say I expected it to be this big of a hit?" He said smiling cracking a joke with the media. "But honestly I expected that it would be a hit since people would be eager to know me as it was a well known topic in the industry regarding my identity and also the unattainable bachelor appeared in it so there was no doubt. But I am really thankful to the audience who made it a huge success. I thought they would forget about the song but my song received a great response too! Hearing my song almost everywhere made me really happy to be frank. Thank you so much guys for loving my song."

"Mr.Big D. Why did you choose to make your debut entrance with Mr.Shuuya? Did you anticipate this results?"

"No, actually I was planning to give a single debut. I never thought I would be appearing together with him on the CD. Actually most of the plans for this debut was done and we almost finalized it when I received a call from an important woman saying they want me to make an intro song for their game and I could not go against her wishes."

Who is this woman? May be Daniel or Big D got a girlfriend? Either way it created an uproar and once again questions were thrown left and right without making any sense.

"Hey! What happened again? We reached the initial stage. Ask questions one by one. We are putting aside sometime to answer your questions so you guys too take time and ask slowly but fast."

"Who is this woman?"

"Wanna see?" He asked smirking and an yes chorused. "You are already seeing her sitting beside me." He said creating another uproar but this time it caused confusion in me! I am definitely not that girl! He could not go against my wishes? Bullshit! When I asked him to prepare the song as Daniel I literally begged him on my knees to give a chance but he never even listened and here he sits here dressed fashionably spouting nonsense. I chose it wise to keep my mouth shut and glare at him. Any wrong word from his mouth he is so going to be dead. I hope he got the underlying message or so god save him!

"Are you announcing you relationship?"

"Yes." He replied.
