The Heartbreaker by Hestrin Zantya (primary phonics .txt) 📕

I am Andrew's friend who works at the embassy" that man said and smiled at her. Lada smiled and said, "Ah..okay Erik how's it going?" Erik gave her a big brown envelope and said "You can check all the documents that you need inside this envelope and if you need another thing just call me up, there is my card in this envelope too" Erik said and smiled. Lada opened the envelope and took a look at the documents inside it and smiled. "I got all the documents, thanks a lot Erik" Lada said and smiled. "Sure anytime! When will you get home?" Erik asked her, "Today, in the evening" Lada said. Erik nodded as he said "Oh I see, do you need a help?" Lada smiled and said "No thank you I have packed my stuffs a week ago" Erik got up and said "Alright I have to go now because I have an appointment with my girlfriend", Lada nodded and said "Okay hanve fun!" Erik walked out the door and Lada found his card and got another shock when she read his address. Lada remembered that address in sudden and she could recall few of memories from yesterday.

 

Mara said on the phone, "Hey Lad, are you home now?", Lada said with a curt "Yes I am now, what's up Mara?", Mara was worried about her because she never heard Lada talked like that to her before so she said "Are you mad at me because I couldn't drive you home?", Lada rolled her eyes and said "Well Mara I am not mad at you, believe me" Lada didn't want to tell her best friend about Erik and her feelings about him and his beautiful girlfriend, she didn't want to make it a big deal eventhough she felt unwell. "Okay so tomorrow morning I willl drive you to the airport, be on time I will come to your place at 8 o'clock in the morning" Mara said and hung up the phone. Lada knew that Mara felt a little bit upset, she would apologize to her later so she grabbed her laptop and logged into her blog. She found a new comment from that silly man underneath one of her picture, I know you've missed me so much, haven't you? Lada giggled when she read that comment, she thought about Erik and that silly man, she felt so bad because she became a jerk to Mara on the phone, but she couldn't help it because deep down in her heart she fell in love with Erik and his delicious shrimp cocktail.

 

Chapter 8

"I'm sorry Mara for my bad attitude to you yesterday when I talked to you on the phone" Lada frowned and put her head down. Mara smiled and gave her a big hug, "I know Lad! I'm sorry too because my mood was not so good yesterday, I will miss you a lot", Lada smiled and kissed Mara's cheek, they got into the car and went to the airport right away. "So you have to call me when you arrived in Jakarta, ok?" Mara said, Lada nodded and smiled at her. "I will call you and we can talk on Skype too Mara!" Lada said as she grabbed a box of chocolate from her purse and gave it to Mara. "Wow! You're really nice Lad! Thank's!" Mara said and smiled at Lada.

 

Lada said something to Mara before she went into the check in room, "Listen! Don't you worry about me, I will be here again next year to show you my Phd certificate" Lada smiled and hugged Mara tightly. Mara sighed and cried a little tear as she kissed Lada's cheeks, she smiled at her and said "I know take care! Stay in touch!" Lada giggled and said "Of course Mam!" then she walked into the check in room and left Mara behind her. Lada waited for an hour because the plane got a delay, she just sat and read a novel. A man came in and sat next to her, he nudged Lada's suitcase before he sat down by accident and Lada took a look at his face. Lada could'nt believe in her eyes when she saw his face, "You? Really?" she shouted at him, that man got a little shock and then said "Hi there!" Lada goggled and said "You broke my bike and now try to break my suitcase?" that man smirked at Lada and rolled his eyes. "Listen I hope you're not sitting next to me on the plane!" Lada talked to him with an annoying tone, "Ya ya ya" he rolled his eyes and laid his body on the chair. Lada couldn't stop thinking about her bike and his annoying attitude but she kept reading her novel and ignored that man completely.

 

"For you!" that man gave a white lunch box to Lada, she saw his face and still felt bad but she took that box from his hand and opened it. Lada got another surprise when she opened that box she found shrimp cocktail and it looked delicious. "What is it? Did you cook it? Lada asked him, that man smiled and nodded, "If you're hungry you can eat that shrimp" he said, Lada was surprised because she hadn't eaten anything since she woke up so she smirked at him and said "Okay but I hope it's delicious or I'll puke it out on your lap!" that man giggled and said, "You're taking it too seriously!" Lada ate one of the shrimp and she really liked it, "It's not bad but too salty" she lied to him because she didn't want to make him feel good. That man laughed at her and said "You're too sour!" Lada was mad at him when he said that to her, "What? here take this garbage with you I won't eat them, Yuck!" that man giggled and put that box into his bag. Lada knew that man would be so annoying if she asked him one question but she couldn't help herself because she was so curious about one thing in her head, "So are you a chef?" she finaly asked him that question. That man smiled and nodded as he said "Ya I am a second chef" Lada got a little bit shock because she got a weird feeling after he said that to her, "Where do you work?" Lada asked him, "At a restaurant" he said, "Well does that restaurant have a name?" Lada asked him, that man nodded and said "Hamberg Fisk!" Lada was really shocked when he said that so she shook her head and said "No way!" that man saw Lada's face and smiled "I know you'll know about me eventually" Lada was confused and said "What do you mean?" that man giggled and said "I'm sorry I broke your bike, I stole it from you for few of days and I fixed it for you and I cooked those foods at that restaurant and I knew you came with your friends and I made bad comments about your pictures too so overall I am a jerk and I understand if you don't want to talk to me again, no worries" Lada stared at him and she shook her head still, "No it's not possible! You're stalking me?" she said, that man smiled and winked at her "Well my name is Ilien" Lada didn't talk because she was still in a shock. "Are you okay?" Ilien asked her, "No I'm not! Did you steal my bike again when I got that accident two days ago?" Lada asked him. Ilien shook his head and said "No I didn't! but my brother told me about that story so I noticed it was you ha ha ha " he said and giggled. Lada woke up from her reverie when a lady on speaker asked all pessengers to go on board. Lada walked away from Ilien and she didn't want to turn around when he asked her to wait for him.

 

"Hello again!" Ilien said and smiled at Lada who sat next to his seat on the plane. Lada rolled her eyes and said "I knew it! Oh god! why are you haunting me all the time?" Ilien giggled and said "Maybe because I'm a jerk and you're an angel?" Lada sighed and shook her head again, "Oh come on you're such an annoying person!" Ilien smiled and said "Did you think Erik was me didn't you?" Lada rolled her eyes and nodded, "Yeah because I'm a weirdo just like you" she said and smirked at Ilien. "Well I will be in Jakarta for a month" Lada saw his face and said "Really?" Ilien nodded and smiled at her. They didn't talk for half an hour because Ilien fell asleep and Lada read her novel, "So do you like my foods?" he finaly spoke to her, Lada rolled her eyes and said "Ya ya ya!" Ilien giggled and said "Come on, admit it that you like them!" Lada said "Okay I like your foods I love them!" Ilien smiled at her and said, "Do you love Erik?" Lada shook her head and said "He's taken!" Ilien giggled and sighed, Lada closed her novel and put into her purse and said "But..I fall in love with a man who got no recipe for love" Ilien giggled and smirked at her, "Who is that silly man?" Lada sighed and said "I can't tell you! Unless he gives me more shrimps to me" Ilien took out that white box from his bag and gave it to Lada, he said "There you go!" Lada smiled and said "Thank you!"
