The sterio was 2minutes and 30seconds into Michae1l Jackson's Dirty Diana, tears were pouring down on Zuzu's face and with all the emotions cloud his judgement, he was driving his Volkswagen Golf 1st Generation at 140km/hr.Realising that he was driving to fast for someone heading towards a curve, he figured he might be able to do the Heel-And-Toe Shift before stopping the car at a safe spot, so he took his foot of the gas and began applying the brake with the ball of his right foot and while doing so he depressed the clutch fully and rotated his heel out to cover the throttle.The first two steps were a success and now all he had to do was to increase the engine speed using his heel so that it matches the road speed before shifting to a lower gear and come off the throttle with his heel but as soon as his left hand let go of the steering to reach for the gearbox, the car lost control and all Zuzu remembers was the sound of his car spinning into a building that was near by."Oops,I'm so sorry mister.Let me clean that for you."Priya had just spilled wine on a fine young gentleman's shirt and out of guilt and embarrassment, she couldn't stop talking,which in reality was even more embarrassed than spilling wine on someone's shirt.What had happened was Zuzu was sitting peacefully at his table in a fancy Italian restaurant drinking the 2009 Utopia Paradise bottle and as Miss Priya was passing, she knocked over the wine glass that was in front of Zuzu, thereby spilling wine over him.Embarrassed, she reached into her bag and pulled out wet wipes and tried to clean the wine off Zuzu's shirt but it only made it worse, so she stood there frozen and speechless.Realising how embarrassed the lady in front of him might have been feeling,Zuzu looked her in the eyes and said "It's fine ma'am, it's just a piece of cloth".Priya: A piece of cloth that costs 200bucks.Zuzu: At least that's what the original costs.Priya: As if yours is a fake, look at that lining.Zuzu: Wow. Are you here with someone?.Priya: I was supposed to meet up with my girlfriends, but they were a no show.Zuzu: You can join me, that's if you're not in a hurry.Priya: I can't ruin your night anymore.Zuzu: Actually, it was already ruined before you got here.(He said this while bowing his head down and looking slightly to the left)This trick always worked, he called it the act of pity.It was a killer move and most times he didn't have to unleash it but desperate times call for desperate measures,right?.Priya: Some other time, I guess.(she said this while handing Zuzu her contact card, then she walked away.)Beauty plus brains, it was never a good combination, looking at the card Zuzu realized that beauty Miss Priya Hadji was actually a Heart Surgeon.He knew before reading the card that Priya was different, the way she stood, the way she talked, the way she walked. Everything about her had that special effect. Besides, only a heart Surgeon could have resisted the act of pity. After a few drinks, he finally gathered the courage to take out his phone and call the receptionist for Eltsuh HospitalZuzu: "Hello, I'd like to make an appointment with Dr Hadji.Receptionist: Hello sir, okay what is your name?.Zuzu: Mr HornReceptionist: Okay sir, she is free tomorrow at 11am so you can come then.Zuzu: Thank you. Zuzu wasn't sure if it was the wine kicking in or it was just his heart malfunctioning because after Priya left he couldn't enjoy his meal because he was having this strange feeling in his heart.That feeling you get when you've just got home after a long boring day at work and Priya was his home. At least that's what he wanted her to be, he wanted her to be his go to place after every single good or bad day.Something was definitely wrong with his heart, it had been ages since he felt this way.The last time he felt this way was before Isa happened. A little background check on Isa, or as she was known in her high school days, Isabella Rodriguez.She was the most beautiful and popular girl at school but she was dumb as a rock, on the other hand Zuzu was just another nerd, so knowing that Zuzu had a crush on her, she exploited him by pretending to be in love with him so that he can write her final exams for her.Zuzu could have been caught and expelled but he went full Romeo and Juliet on the issue and agreed to write the exams for her either way and she almost got away with it but Zuzu realised and that broke his heart but he still went ahead and wrote the exams for her securing her an average pass, then after that he went to her and told her that she had figured out why a girl like her pretended to like a boy like him and that he had secured her an average pass on her finals but he swore to her that he's never gonna let himself be vulnerable or love someone again and get his heart broken and he surely kept his promise. From that moment onwards he started working on himself, he changed the way he

Zuzu: Yah I'm okay, but I can't say the same about my car so I'ma need to borrow yours.
Kenzel: Hell no, I'll drive you to the hospital.
Zuzu: I gotta have one detour though.
Kenzel: Where do you wanna go?.
Zuzu: Priya's place.
Kenzel: Ain't she supposed to be at work.
Zuzu: No, she's h……
