On the eve of our engagement, half my face was burned in a car race.
For three months, I endured the excruciating pain of skin grafts. My girlfriend stood by my side throughout my recovery, never leaving me.
Just as I emerged from the darkness and decided to get married, I discovered that my former rival not only escaped punishment but was now cozying up to my girlfriend, both of them smiling contentedly.

Thinking back now, many times when Zoran and I were racing, she stood on the sidelines with clenched fists, silently praying - perhaps she was wishing Zoran good luck.
