From the upcoming sequel (On the run)

Sid X Cindy: (How it ended …)

"How could you? You promised Sid! You promised you'll never get back to it ever again!." Pain was in her voice.

"Look it was hard! I couldn't concentrate, I was under a lot of stress you know how it is!." He tried to justify himself, he knew he couldn't anyway.

Both of them are in their last year of university now, he recently moved in the year before at the same university she was studying in. He saw this as the only way he could be able to keep their relationship going … they've kept their friendship going for twelve years now.

"You think it's not the same for me? I know how hard it is and we all are struggling to be able to graduate this year. But you don't see me smoking on that garbage like you do!."

She found out he was smoking some 'joint' or God knows what those hobos call it. She knew he's done this stuff before, but he quit that stuff when they were sixteen. He himself told her he'd quit, she never forced him to quit anything because she knew that he knew what type of girl she was. Any type of 'quitting' was supposed to be his decision if he wanted to be hers.

"Look, it was hard, it really was. And it was even harder for me to do this, but I just needed some sort of escape. I needed to relax!."

"Well you should've come to me!."

"You're already busy studying, I didn't wanna disturb you."

"You were never going to disturb me, Sid." She put her hand on his arm.

Something about her touch made him feel guilty. What would a girl like her want from him? He was a loser, a failure. He manages to get a 'C' at the most when he tries his best.
She, on the other hand, was successful. She had goals in life, she was strong, she never let the miseries in her life get to her. She always saw the light at the end of tunnel, that was more than he could see.

He sighed and threw up his hands in exasperation, "Yes I will! Get real Cindy! I'm nothing! I'm a nobody! I don't know what you see in me!. I'll never amount to anything in this freakin' life and you know it! I don't even know what you've seen in me in all these years!."

They were both quiet, standing there looking at each in the eye. His breathing was a little fast and she gave him a spiteful look.

"You're right." She finally told him in a calm tone. "I don't know what I saw in you."

And with that she turned around and left. Tears already welling her eyes. He just sighed and put his head down as he sat on his bed. He lost her.

She graduated, he dropped out. She's never heard from him ever again. They've even stopped talking after that fight.

A year later, she has her dream job as a child nutritionist while he manages to get by as a musician in a lounge café where his guitar and music writing skills come in handy.

He stops at a traffic light one rainy night, a lightning flash lights up the dark sky and a roaring thunder follows. He smiles.
She giggles, she's always had this weird habit of having the 'giggles' when she hears thunder … maybe it was because of how it kind of 'overwhelmed' her.
He remembers teasing her about it, but she tells him she felt safe when she heard it.
It has always soothed her soul, as she saw it as some kind of reminder of God's great glory, that He's watching over them.
He remembers her strong faith, Sid has always thought she was some kind of angel from heaven. Sent down to make him right.

The light turns green and he crosses but suddenly a car from the opposite side of the intersection crosses its red light and collides right at the driver's seat.

An image of blood spilled over broken glass on the road in pouring rain flashes in her mind and her heart skips a beat. She looks at the wall clock of her room, it was 11.14pm. Something didn't feel right ...
