"I have my ride." Pagkasabi ko nun, tumalikod na ko sa kaniya at naglakad papunta sa kotse ko. And that's it. This is how it will end. We will go back to our normal life, to our regular routine.
I was about to open the door of my car when he grabs my arm and pulls me in a tight embrace.
"Thank you Cyker. I wouldn't make it without you. You save my life."

"I told you Cyker, you cannot push me away."
