"Zachary, will you come to Mr. Edmun's son's wedding tonight?" Mum asked him from their cozy kitchen.

"No mum, I am busy a lot. I have something to do tonight." Zachary answered his mum.

"Well, ok then. I will come along like usual." Replied her.

Since Zachary's father passed away and she becomes widowed, she loves to do everything alone, especially now her son Zachary their only child already in the university. He is always busy with his project.

Zachary's mum walks very slowly from the kitchen to bring a cup of tea and a snack. 

"What are you doing my son? Why so many numbers you write down?" Mum asked curious.

She put a cup of tea and a snack on the table.

"This is my new project mum. I must focus on this one, if not I couldn't pass from Mrs. Samantha's class." He trying to explain his mum.

Zachary's mum nodded, and she whispered his beloved son "please eat your snack and drink your tea. Don't let your stomach suffer and pain sweetheart."

Zachary looked at his mum and smile. He whispers to his mum, "thank you so much mum, you're the best. I feel lucky to have a wonderful mum like you."

Zachary's mum smile, then she kisses his cheeks and walks away from his side.

Zachary continues his project after he drinks a cup of tea and eats a snack from his lovely mum.

Zachary walks lonely in his university corridor. At that time the weather very cold and windy. No one walking around on that side except him. Suddenly he feels like something hit his body very hardest.

"Oh my God, I am very sorry. Please forgive me, cause I am in a rush and didn't see you." One soft and the fearless voice asked him to apologize very quickly.

Zachary starring shock the person who stands in front of him. He takes his breath very deeply and still with his shocked voice he says, "Please be careful next time, you're lucky you get me in here. If others maybe they will not apologize to you."

"I am so sorry. I promise next time I will pay some attention." She speaks very softly while holding her tears. She is frightened a lot, her body shaking. She bites her own lips. She has no courage to see Zachary's eyes.

"Hey, I am no more angry with you. Please don't be afraid. I am different, I am not them who love to give someone else pressure and drop down their mind into the limit." Zachary trying to convince her.

She looked his eyes very deeply, and to try to convince herself what she's just heard.

"Yes, please trust me." He smiles and looked at her.

She is nodded, and says " I am Charlotte, I am a new student."

"I am Zachary, but you can call me Zach or Jake. I am a science student. What about you? Which major you take?" Said him randomly.

"I am an art student. I will take theater as my specify class. Those are connecting with drama musical and also dance." She explained it.

"Wow, that sounds great. I can't wait to see you perform." Said his enthusiasm.

She is a smile and says, " I need to go now, I don't want to get late at my first meeting."

"Oh yes, of course. I don't want to hold you for a long time. I don't want to see you getting trouble on your first day of school." Zachary well said.

She is nodded and walk away faster. She turns around and with a smile on her face, she is a bit yelled says " THANK YOU SO MUCH, I AIN'T FORGET TODAY."

Suddenly someone grabs Zachary's book who he borrowed from the library. 

"Why are you sitting alone in this corner? Look, this corner full of dust and dirt. Seems someone not yet cleaning this part," said one voice softly.

Zachary could figure out whose voice there. He turns his body and smile to the owner of that voice.

"I know it's you. What's making you come to the science corridor?" He asked curiously.

"You! I am looking for you," she said confidently.

"Me? What can I help you?" He asks her politely.

She pulls out one of the invitation letters. There is Zachary's name with a blue ink pen.

" I want to give you this one," She hands him her invitation letter.

Zachary accepts the invitation letter with happiness feeling. He is in a hurry to open that invitation letter in front of her.

" Oh my God, you invite me to come to your birthday party Charlotte?"

"Yes, please come." Answered her shortly.

" Of course I will come," said him fast.

Charlotte smiled, and she hands back the book to him, then she walks away.

Zachary starring her back body until she escapes from his eyes. He whispers to himself and saying, " Thank you for today God. I just realize how pretty she is."

Zachary, how far you working on your project?" Asked Mrs. Samantha suddenly. She is already standing in front of Zachary.

"Almost done Mrs. Samantha, please give me extra time." He begging with full hope.

"No worries Zachary, you still have enough time to complete and finish all your project." Said her warmly.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Samantha, appreciation a lot. Thank you for giving your trust to me," said him happy.

"You deserve it," she smiles and winks at him.

Bell suddenly ringing, it is time for Mrs. Samantha and Zachary left their classroom.

Unfortunately, someone holds Zachary's shoulder and suddenly punches his stomach.

"Look who's in here? Mr. Paralyzed walk like a model in front of us guys, he forgets how supposed he walks in front of us," said one student to others after punched Zachary's stomach.

Five students laugh louder in front of Zachary. He only holds his stomach cause he is feeling pain a lot. They start tied up him and locked him in one of the empty classrooms.

"Enjoy your fasting Mr. Paralyzed. We know exactly what you and your mum could get the food only grab from one basket garbage to another basket garbage." Said one of the student extremes from outside the door, and the other student followed him with laughed.

On the other hand, Zachary trying hard to escape but he is failed to open the rope who tied up his hands. He can't ask for help or yell also cause they taped his mouth with huge double tape.

Zachary pray someone could help him to open that door and release him from his suffering. God answered his prayers, suddenly the classroom door open. He tried to see who's the person standing in front of him, but his head pains a lot. He can't see anything, only one thinks he knows, all dark around him and suddenly he is unconscious.
