Almost (A Taxicab Theory Story)

ALMOST

"Bakit nga ba hindi na lang ikaw?"

Isang tanong. Limang salita. Libo-libong sakit.

Ayen spent years fixing Lorenzo's broken pieces, only to realize that she was just a pit stop, and never the destination. She was the one who stayed when his light was off, providing the tools and the heart to make him run again.

But now that Lorenzo's engine is roaring and his "Available" light is finally on, he's opening the door for the person who left him in neutral.

Is love really about timing? Or is it about knowing when to get off the car before you get crashed?

In a journey fueled by "almosts" and "maybes," Ayen must decide: will she keep repairing a man who isn't hers, or will she finally drive away to find her own way home?
