A Man Like You

❤️

As the day had gone by and the night falls oncw again, the time is fifteen minutes past 3 at night and most people are already in their dreams but here I am, still awake looking at you that are not close to being restless, I could hear the sound from your part steel body standing further away from me. Still wide awake. 

My heart beats in its usual pace at first but when suddenly you turn around and look towards my direction, I'm not sure if I'm still breathing properly at that time. 

"Nana," I hear your voice echoes in the darkest night inside the room as you call for my name. I blink my eyes, inhale a deep breath before I look at you, "X,", I mention your name as I look at you walk towards my direction for a short time as k decides to look away. I could hear your footsteps gets closer to me. You stop right on front of me, "Nana," you call for my name again.

At that time I'm not sure if I'm alright or my anxiety just crawl up on me instantly. I slowly look back up to you. X Borg. A half man and half robot, lived through a painful tragedy in his life but somehow after the brutal destruction of his home town, he is the only one that survive. And as those scientists decided to save his life and let him live once again, this is who he is right now. A fighter with a strong heart, flaming fire from his other hand are his life right now. 

He touch my shoulder as he notice my eyes are still looking at him, "Why are you still looking at me like that? Are there anything wrong?". I sigh and shake my head from side to side, "No, there's nothing wrong X. I am just thinking...,". He look at me curiously. I walk away from him, and he take a step closer to me, 

"Why nana? Is it because of me? Is it because of who I am?". I could hear his voice asking. I know that he is one of a kind. Falling in love with a man like him might have the memories that would last forever but also something that most people find me a strange person for choosing him instead of a real man in this world. He sigh and look away, "I know that it is me. I know you can find somebody better than me. I know that I am not perfect for you," he say it, feeling devastate.

I shake my head from side to side, 

"No. It is not you, X. It is just my own feeling right now. It has nothing to do with you" I look at him and take a few step closer to him. I gently touch his chin and make him look at me. I look deeply into his red iris eyes that is looking directly at me. His eyes that's full of fierce, powerful, muscular and passion written with every glance that he made. I caress with my thumb at the side of his lips, "Nothing in this world are perfect X. I fell in love with you for who you are, ".

"Even if I'm a man with a cyborg body?". I gently touch his face, "Yes. I love ,you for who you are,". 

He look at me, "And I love you too," he says as he leans closer towards. He touch behind my neck and touch his lips against mine. I wrap my arms around his waist and return his passionate kiss. 

Perhaps he's not like other man in this world. He is a man and also a cyborg. He is X Borg but he stole my heart and I am fine with that. I hold him closer to my embrace.

" a Man Like You "

Chapter 1

     The time is thirty minutes past midnight. The night is partly cold, with mild wind gently blowing on the surface of the world, at the side of the street where everything has fall silent, the wind that blows slowly before has become slightly harsher.
    The owls are hooting as the world that surrounds his has become bewildered with certain things that is happening.
In the darkness that nobody could see, the sound of a man struggle in a small forest close to the side of the street could be heard. His breath gets heavier and heavier as the second pass. He tries to run away; how scared he is at that time, it is unbearable.  Ass he’s gasping for air to breathe, he pleads for his life to be spared at the same time,
     "No, please! Please don’t harm me!”
      Laughter could be heard slightly. The person who is chasing the other man’s footsteps that walks behind him frightens him badly. As the man tries to run faster than he could, whoever behind him only walks casually...
       He looks at the frighten man, his lips curves into a sly smile...
      “Where do you think of running, Hideo...”
Hideo looks behind when he could see his shadow getting much closer to him, the person behind him looks to the side. His could barely be seen as the shadows of those trees so tall and the moonlight that partly shines that night. He touches his lips with his own fist when he looks at him running away...
      “Just run, Hideo. Just run... You know that I can find you anytime, anywhere, any when I want to,”
      “No! What have I done to you?!”
      “What have you done to me? I think you’ve done enough for me to punish you,”
He smirks slyly as his voice tone changes from what frightens him before to a person who sarcastically don’t bother anymore. Hideo continue to run to save his life but in a splendid short of time, the man behind him pushes him to the tree that is humongous behind him. He pushes his lower arm against his neck while his other hand grabs on his shoulder.
Hideo is startle with his action, he grunts as he feels him pressing on his neck harder. With the reflection of the dim moonlight, finally he could see his face reflection. His jaw drops slightly,
     “Yun,”
      Hideo blinks his eyes several of times. “But I thought that you’re...”. Yun press on his neck harder, “Dead?”. Yun laugh after he hears him says that. He looks at him sharply, “You thought that I was dead after you killed the only one that I love? The only one I have left in my life?”. Hideo grunts, he grabs on his hand that’s pressing hard on his neck.
      Yun laughs hard; he looks at him sharply,
      “When you decided to kill her because of your own greed, lust and desire?,”

       He smirks to him as he recalled back earlier.

**

      Earlier, Yun sits alone at the living room; watching his live favourite sport, soccer, on the television. He drinks his beer while he is counting the score for the quarter final match of the season.
     “Ohh! Damn it! Why didn’t you evade the ball!!!”
He isn’t satisfied when the other team manage to score a point. His girlfriend, Monica, that’s in the kitchen at that time, takes a peek at him, “What’s the matter, Yun? Is your team loosing?”. Yun furrows his face when he heard what she said to him.. “Ahh! It was a mistake! I know that the goal keeper can manage to keep the shot a dead end,”.
