"There is no other option. I must do this.", Kai said with a firm voice. He was about to jump from the bridge when someone grabbed his arm from behind. "Are you ok, kiddo?", That person said.

Kai's heart hammered in his chest. A giant hand clamped around his arm. Panic surged as he twisted and squirmed, desperate to break free. But the grip held tight, pulling him away from the bridge. 

"Are you trying to kill yourself?", that person asked. Kai moved his head and looked straight into that person's eyes. He was a man in his thirties. He was well dressed. He was wearing branded clothes and shoes. He was also wearing a branded watch. 

Kai had seen his watch in the struggle to free his arm. "It's none of your concern. leave me alone.", Kai shouted. He freed his arm and pushed that man away. "Yeah, you are right. Why should it concern me? But I was not the only one who was going to save you. Look there."

That mysterious man pointed his hand in the direction of a police officer who was passing by. That police officer ran in their direction and came closer to them. "What is happening there?", The police officer inquired.

"Nothing is going on here, Mr. Officer. Right, Kai.", That strange man was leaning in close, and he put his arm around Kai's shoulders in a comforting gesture. Kai looked at him disgustly. "How does he know my name? Is he a stalker or death angel?", the fear ran through Kai's veins.

"If you don't want to play along with me. Then I can tell this officer you were trying to jump off this bridge. He will take you to the police station. The choice is all yours.", That man whispered to Kai.

The police officer was suspicious and glared at them. Kai was stuck in an odd situation. His urge to jump from this bridge rose. Now, he was more desperate to take his life. kai looked at that man and the police officer, "Yes, he is right. There is nothing wrong here."

"Then what are you doing here in your school uniform?", The police officer came closer to Kai and looked at him. "Kai, is that your name?", The police officer asked. Kai looked at his uniform. His name was written on the school badge. 'So, that's how this man knows my name.", Kai thought.

"How are you?", The police officer asked that man. "I'm his uncle, officer. I had promised him to take him home. I was late, today. He was waiting there for me. Right, Kai.", That strange man gave Kai a friendly hug. 

Kai was feeling disgusted by the touch of that man. Kai was not a very friendly person. He looked at the man with hostility. He nodded his head. "That's good then. But I would like to see your identity card and the student card of that kid as well.", The police officer said.

That man handed his driving license to the officer and Kai gave his student card. The police officer noted their information. He returned them their cards and he also gave his number to Kai. "Kid, if there is any problem call me. Officer Steve is always there to help you."

Kai thanked him. That man asked, "Is everything alright, officer? You looked tired."

"You know. Today, the final results of the schools have been announced and there are lots of kids who are taking their lives because of their results. I can't imagine the pressure they are going through. We have found an injured body of a boy on the opposite road. That's why we are searching the whole area."

That man responded to the police officer, "That's really upsetting. Kids nowadays don't think about their parents. But our Kai is not like this. He is a mature boy."

Kai looked at him and tried to smile. The police officer left. Kai was holding the card of that officer with his number mentioned on it. Kai saw the officer's shadow fainting away. He must have gone far from them. 

"Why did I not protest and get away from that man?", Kai thought. He pushed that man away. He had his arm around Kai's neck. Kai punched him and tried to run away. "Hey, if you take one more step. Then I'll shout and call that police officer here. He will take you to the jail.", That man threatened him.

"He will also take you to the jail for lying. Whatever happens to me is not your concern leave me.", Kai said. That man tried to get close to Kai. "Keep your hands away. Don't touch me.", Kai shouted.

"Ok, relax man. I won't touch you. Easy, be easy. Let's talk.", That man took a few steps back and put his hands behind him. Kai wanted to run away. But he didn't want to go to jail. Kai nodded his head. "You only have five minutes.", Kai said.

"OK, great. Five minutes are enough.", That man said. "If you think that you can convince me to not end my life in these five minutes then you are wrong. You don't even know me.", Kai said.

"You think that I don't know you. But I'm not here to stop you from ending your life. Everyone is going to die one day. We can't stop the death. Death is inevitable. I'm here to help you to die.", That man said with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Help me to die? Are you nuts? What are you talking about?", Kai yelled. "You will not be able to take your life today. No matter what you do. You won't succeed.", That man said.

"My plan was perfect until you interrupted me.", Kai said. "Four minutes are left.", That man pointed at his wristwatch, "Even If I hadn't come that policeman was going to catch you. Your plan to die at late night on a deserted road was a failure from the start."

"You are lying.", Kai shouted. "You are very stubborn. Ok, then try to jump again from this bridge. I'm sitting there or do you want to try a different place? We have three minutes left.", That man said.

Kai ran away from that man. He ran towards the under-construction building on the opposite corner of that bridge. It was the plan B. If the bridge was going to be busy. He had planned to use this abandoned building. Kai saw the lights of a car. Someone was following him.

Kai saw a black 'Buagatti Veyron 16.4', it was his favorite car. He had dreamed of buying it. The person driving that car was the strange man, he had met before. Kai's happiness after seeing his favorite sports car disappear. 

"That man is super rich and he must be a golden spoon. That's why he has spare time on his hands to stalk an unknown person. Is he a gangster?", Kai murmured and ran as fast as he could.

He reached to the building and looked around. There was no one around. He was going to enter the building. When he saw that man again. Kai ignored him. He ran to reach the top of the building. That man followed him there as well.

"Hey, leave me alone.", Kai shouted. "This is my building. I'm the owner of this building. I'm free to go wherever I want. There is someone else who is trespassing on my private property.", That man said.

"Then I will leave.", Kai said this and he was going to leave. "Wait, why don't you try to jump from this building? I won't stop you. Make sure to jump off properly this time.", That mysterious person said.

That person sat at a reasonable distance from Kai. He was sitting on the dirty floor of that building. Kai turned his face. He looked at the stars shining in the sky. The moon was not visible today. Because today was foggy and cloudy only a stars were visible. 

Kai moved toward the edge of the building. He looked behind once more to sure that the man didn't follow him this time. The man was sitting there calmly. He didn't even move a single step. kai was sure that he would jump from there. That person won't be able to catch him. There was a fair distance between them. Even an athlete couldn't do this.

Kai extended his arm in the air like a bird who was ready to fly. He jumped from the building. "Thud.."
