What they are chasing after,
For Love and Hate can
Surprisingly alter ways... "

Part 2
Chapter 8
Continuation


Heng is sitting in the college cafeteria , playing with his pen on paper and he appears rather oblivious to his surroundings. Zu Ai spots him and comes over. She gets an idea and puts her palm in front of him. Heng looks up.

Heng ( rolls his eyes)- ketchup, what do you think you are doing?

Zu Ai ( dramatically )- I am asking you for your autograph , sir.

Heng – Autograph?

Zu Ai ( fluttering her eyelashes at him)- Yes, after all, I just found out from your sunken pumpkin face that Alfred Hitchkok has signed you for his next film as the ultimate tragedy hero!

Heng ( laughs and shakes his head )- You are INSANE!....

Zu ( sighs and sits next to him)- Finally, you smiled! …Now,tell me what 's up with this retro Tragic mood? Ji Li refused to sing Titanic with you?

Heng – Ya, right! Mine and J's  Titanic sunk long ago…. It's about Zhan .

Zu ( taking a breath she makes a face)- Heng look, you need to relax. Give Zhan sometime. Your proposal was out of the blue and he …. he is still coming to grips with his feelings for you….if any....I mean...' 
Zu breaths and turns a serious face-- ' Even I was surprised when you told me. Look you need to clear your own head first. It could be just a flitting infatuation for all you know. Maybe it's just those attractions that sometime happens between close Friends...so give it a rest. Take your time. Give Zhan and yourself  both enough time to get in grip with this all....abrupt feelings Heng! Besides I never saw you having a thing for boys. I know Zhan is a sweetheart but what you are indicating is a serious thing. A matter of life long partnership and it can't be taken in a whim. So relax and wait for the right time. Sometime only Time can give you the best answer. 


Heng ( tosses his pen aside)- Well, the issue is not that whether I am sure of my life long commitment or not, i know that's important but for now the question is Zhan taking time, Zu !.... the issue is that whether he has feelings for me at all?.....( shrugs his shoulders)….. I mean, we are great friends and we adore each-other….but…. Zhan's eyes….they never seem to warm up to me…


Zu – Okay, I will tell him not to keep his eyes in the freezer when he goes to sleep.

Heng  just shakes his head and just then , they see Xena coming towards them. They straighten up…

Zu ( whispers to Heng )- Here comes Lady Godzilla…. I am sure Yibo told her to bite our necks off.

Heng ( looking at Xena )- Chill. She maybe his friend but she appears more civilized than him. Be nice to her. We are good people. Remember that.

Xena comes to them with a big smile.

Xena ( hesitantly )- Hi!.....Ummm…we didn't get introduced to each-other by Yibo ...mm ….I am Xena. I am joining from today. Could you help me with the way to the accounts office? I need to deposit my fee cheque.
