Hurt

Play : Past Life by Trevor Daniel with Selena Gomez

---------------------------------------------------------------------

('m trying to be honest with my happiness

Don't know why I'm bad at this, uh)

Damien sat on Vaidehi's favourite swing and looked at the scene before him.

The swing was in the garden area in the middle of flowers and greenery.

The view in front of him was colorful, vibrant and radiant happiness- just like her, he thought to himself.

This past few weeks, he somehow survived, but his heart ached with an unknown pain seeing her hurt every time.He cared the flower with his long fingers ,that just bloomed.

He need to do something before things go overboard. He can't hurt her anymore, he need to shift back to his penthouse. He thought to himself and gulped a lump that formed his throat.

.

.

It was the day , when the presentation for ShineIn was about to take place.

(And I don't wanna sit in all my sadness

I know it's a habit of mine)

Damien sat alone in his office going through the file but his thoughts were filled with Vaidehi and how she looked hurt to an extent he can explain.

The incident that happened this morning made him hate himself more.

It felt as if someone had stabbed his heart.

.

.

-Flashback-

Vaidehi got up early in the morning and tip toed

toward Damien's room with a fresh flowers.

She kept them just out site his door and waited for him to comeout and see.

She rubbed her hands in excitement to see his reaction. Because that was his favourite flowers.

(Perfect, perfect timing

I start what I don't know how to end

Don't re-, don't remind me)

I ruined it before it began, oh)

As Damien opened the door of his room Vaidehi stood straight, her attention was totally toward him–to see his reaction.

He came out of his room whilst ranking a hand through his wet hair.

Vaidehi waited patiently and her eye twinkled with hope as she saw him touch the flower with a smile on his face.

Suddenly , she felt him stilled. He raised his head with the flowers on his hand and walked out toward the dining area.

And Vaidehi followed him discreetly.

But her happiness was only for few moments as she saw him throw the flowers carelessly on the table before walking out of the house.

And the half burned cake that she baked for him remained as it was in the dinning table.

Tears roll down her cheek as she gathered the flowers and held it close to her heart.

–End of Flashback–

.

.

Damien clenched his jaw and held the pen tightly. What the hell is wring with him? Just because he has a past that doesn't give him the right to punish her that way! He is wrong and the only way to stop this is to move out from the house to his penthouse.

He dialed a number and waited patiently for the person to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Yes, Mr. Heartman,. Damien here."

"Yes, yez, sir. Please tell me how can I help you?" The person asked.

"I want to know if the penthouse is repaired or not, and whether I could shift back by tomorrow? " Damien asked and played with the pen in his hand.

"Yes, sir. Everything is done. I was actually about to call and inform you about it today."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Heartman."

"My pleasure ,sir." He said and disconnected the call.

Damien let out a shuddering breath at the though of moving out.

.

Vaidehi sat with Aston as they were about to present the designed for ShineIn

She looked at Damien from the corner of her eyes and her heart clench in a painful manner.

"Please make yourself comfortable ladies and gentleman."Ashton got up and greeted everyone from the board.

"So, would like to present to you all, the special winter collection." This time it was one of the head designers , who said and started the presentation

Through out the meeting Vaidehi could feel Damien's eyes on her.

She frowned not understanding why is her acting acting like that suddenly? She turned her head and caught him red handed.

Her face turned pink but she maintained the eye contact.

"Now we would like to know your views on this collection, Mr, Ryder." Suddenly a voice broke their starring content and they both slightly jumps .

Damien looked at the staffs and members of board ,and got up before speaking.

After his speech ,soon board members approved of the designs and the collection was finalised.

Vaidehi looked down and as soon as the presentation ended , she walked out of the room, unaware that Damien was looking at her.

.

.

Next moring, Vaidehi woke up and saw that Damien's clothes and bags re being takein away.

She looked at him in confusion.

(Last night was the last night of my past life

Got me here like you could never figure me out)

"I am shifting back to my pent house." He said and sat on his car.

"I–"Vaidehi tried to speak but her voice broke toward the end.

Damien started the car and looked at her with longing. She gulped that formed her throats and looked down as tears rolled down her cheek.

"Good bye , Vaidehi." He whispered.

He eyes shone with tears and his face was filled with regret and pain.

Vaidehi looked at him one last time before running inside the house with tears streaming down her face.

(Last night was the last time, was the last time

I never let you figure me out

Sitting here, talking to myself

Thinking how I used to use you

Only thing I'm used to

Last night was the last time, was the last time, woah)

Sitting on her the dinning chair lost in thought, Vaidehi question herself as to why she is letting him hurt her? She is strong and independent woman and he won't let him rule over her.

If he want to leave than he is free to do so! She won't give a damn.

Yes, she will miss him, miss is not even the right word to use , she will be pinning for his presence but than again, time will heal.

She though and looked at the empty kitchen. All memories that they have spend in the last few months came rushing to her.

Damn!

She harshly wiped her tears and than suddenly realization struck her.

She like him.

She like her boss.

SHE LIKE DAMIEN RYDER.
