It was the day ,when both ShineIn and LD will be signing the deal.
Everything was all set and prepared. Core staff was busy making last minute changes here and there.
Vaidehi wore a favourite dress and tied her hair in an elegant bun.
She waited for Alex whilst playing with the end of the sleeve of her dress.
"Hey, you looking beautiful." Alex complimented her as soon as he came.
"Thank you ,now let go and do our work. She will here in few hours." She said while dragged Alex hurriedly.

Vaidehi came out from Aston's cabin with and collided with a wall.
Wait, wall can breadth?
As she raised her head to look, she let out a gasp.
Why can this arrogant grinch leave her alone for a day?
And not just that, why can she walk like a normal human being , why does she always end up colliding with him!? She thought and made a face.
A low huskie chuckle bought her out of her revire.
She looked up and her eye clashed with his obyx one.
His eye, his eyes are like the mysterious dark night sky–beautiful yet dangerous. He eye are the most beautiful feature.
She liked how it darken in anger everytime.
She like how his eye twinkled in happiness. She was so lost in him that ,she didn't even realized when her hand raised up to care his jaw ,nor did she remember that they both were not in talking term.
Damien leaned in to her hand and looked at her as if –she is the only thing that matters.
He sighed softly and tucked few strand of her hair behind her hair.
Both of them backed away– realising what they were doing.
Vaidehi looked and him one last time before running out even before he could utter a word.

Finally, the deal between the two fashion house was signed everyone was in the mood of celebration except Damien and Vaidehi.
As soon as they were done with the meeting , Vaidehi walked out with Ashton.
"Hey let go and eat what say?" He ask with a grin to which , Vaidehi shook her and and walked towards are cabin.
Ashton sighed looking at Vaidehi's retreating back.
He turn and looked at Damien and gestured him to follow.
He nodded and followed Ashton out.
.
.
They both entered Aston's cabin.
"Damien. Tell me what had happened ,if only you feel like tell it." Aston said and sat on his chair.
"I-I can't. " He shook his head and looked out of the glass window.
"Fine, but at least accept it that you like her dude!" He said and looked at him seriously.
Damien gave him a blank look before getting up and walking out of his cabin.
.
.
He entered his cabin and found it empty.
He sighed and stood facing the the panoramic view through the glass window.
Sun was about to set. It peeked and shone brightly between the two building.
Suddenly, the bright rays of sun reminded him of Vaidehi.
Bright and beautiful–just like her.
He sighed , he could feel a lump forming his throat.Realization strucked him hard suddenly.
He like her.
He like Vaidehi Aggarwal.
And he lost her before he could even understand it.His breath heaven fasten ,he could couldn't believe– when the annoying little stalker he meet at the mall slowly became such a hug part of his life.
He felt a sudden heaviness in his chest as he realised –what a mess he was in! The baggage of his past and the lost of somethimg beautiful.
He felt like a loser.
He breath fasten and he tried to stand straight but ended up losing his balance and fell down.
"Damien!" Vaidehi screamed his name and held him.
"Damien look at me. Here, concentrate on my voice and breath." Vaidehi said rubbing his hand. Tears stung her eyes and she felt helpless.
She looked here and there for to find her phone , finding it on the table ,she quick ran and dialed Ashton's number.
As soon as he answered , she said between her sobs"Damien, he -he is."
Before she could complete her sentence , she heard a 'I will be there' before the line got disconnected.
She than quickly raised Damien's head and placed it on her lap and sprinkled some water.
"Damien please listen to me, concentrate on my voice " She choked through tears.
He just tighten his hold on her hand.
Vaidehi though of distracting him but her endless rant.
"You–you know, when I was young , I made my brother dress up like a unicorn, and than i used to sit on his back and made him tour the house with me sitting on his back." She chuckled though her tears and when she looked at Damien, she saw a faint smile.
"I used to think that unicorn exists ,but they didn't obviously and I was so sad, when my cousin told me that. I didn't eat chocolate for one whole day, than my dad saud that –I am that secret magical the unicorn, and my cousin doesn't know that's why she said that." She pouted though tears streaming down his face.
"Damien!" Ashton entered and quickly with the help of Vaidehi made him lay down on the couch and dialed doctors number.
"Vai-Vaidehi." He said weakly amd Vaidehi quickly went and sat near him.
"Yes , Yes I am here." She said and held his hands tightly.
Soon the doctor arrived and Damien was checked.
Vaidehi never for once left his hand. She cared it softly with her fingers as she wait for the Doctor to explain -what had happened?
"He has been stress about something and haven't been sleeping or eating proper. I will prescribe some medicines make sure you give it to him on time." He said and got up.
Ashton and Vaidehi nodded before Ashton guided him out of the room.
Vaidehi looked at Damien sleeping figure and cared his hair.
I wish you could have told me what going on, she thought to herself as she cared his hairs.
He looked like a vulnerable , broken child. A lone tear rolled down and landed on his hand. His hold on Vaidehi's hand tighten as if even in his unconscious state he understood her pain.
