THE ADVICE
It was a random morning in Chicago, when that man entered the restaurant. At that day, 20-year old Toula Portokalos was the sole member of the family working there. To be honest, she never had seen that man in the restaurant, or in Chicago for that matter, so, she kept looking at him, with a concern in her eyes.
At the outside the restaurant, the mysterious man laughed at the outdoor, then he entered, sit on a table and asked for a Spanakopita and a Diet Coke and keep reading a book, while waiting for his order.
As Toula, who got responsible to serve him, come back with the dish and drink, the man looked at her and asked out of nowhere
"Are you fine, miss, you sound sad!" he said and the girl paled at the question
"I'm fine, sir" she said she said a bit worried
"Have a sit, your voice sounds sad, I think you need to vent away" he said
Toula paled, she has never seen that man before and she obviously got afraid of him. On the other hand, the man realized girls uneasy, because he suddenly started to laugh.
"You don't have to worry about me, my dear, I'm old enough to be your great grandfather. My name is Alex Zorba" he said "sorry if I scared you, but if you want to tell me what is bothering you, feel free, I'm all ears''
"i... I don't want to bother you with my problems "she said still annoyed
"no problem at all. Are you Greek? "
"yeah!? "
"so am I and i can tell you you're not happy about it"
"Mr. Zorba!'' Toula frowned ''you are getting a little enjoying, if you keep trying to push subjects with me, I will have to call the police" for once in her life, Toula missed her family, as the guy seemed to annoy her.
"I apologize, it wasn't my intention. Just keep my advice, as a sign of peace, follow your dream, never let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do. And more important, always listen to your heart, when it tell you found the right person to love" he said "we make our own destiny, kid, always remember this, follow your dream and be happy" the blind man smiled, taking another full of his coke.
"Thank you, sir" Toula said to him. "And just for your concern, I'm happy been Greek, I just want a different life for exchange"
"Just wait for it, happiness came when you less expected and remember to listen closely to your heart and i wish you luck" Mr. Zorba smiled, than, he finish his meal, pay the bills, took his fans and walk away from the restaurant.

Years come and goes and obviously, Fouls forgot about the advice she received that day, besides, Mr. Zorba never showed up at the restaurant again, the girl felt unnecessary tell her family about the conversation, as she assumed it was just a weird dream.
One day, it was exactly the years after the dialogue with that mysterious man, in a random morning, as Fouls found herself working at the restaurant again, she spotted a handsome hairy man entered the restaurant, she never saw him before that day, but as soon he got in the place, she felt her heart beating fast.
Little did she knew that was the day her life took a turn for the better, as she listened to her heart and consequently, found love.
