Shattering Hearts

(S3): Application

‘’Dad, check this for me? Why did you give me so much money?"

‘’The check is for you. That money is for your pocket money."

‘’But this is too much."

‘’It doesn't matter. It's a birthday present from dad."

‘’Vastened a lot, Father."

Lizzie could only accept it even though it was unpleasant to be given such a huge sum of money from her father. He then returned to his room and there were birthday gifts from his friends waiting to be opened.

His day at Vladimir's office.

‘’I've got information about Mr. Nicholas Liebert's whereabouts. He is now in Schwangau, Germany. Now he's with his family there."

‘’True? Did you get the phone number I can call?"

Zoya handed a brown envelope to Vladimir.

‘’In the envelope was written information about him. You can also find a phone number that you can call. Then excuse me first."

Vladimir then opened the envelope and took out 2 pieces of paper from the envelope, then read them. After reading it he picked up the phone next to him and started dialing a few numbers. There was a continuous tone and Vladimir was waiting for someone to answer there.

Vladimir tells Zoya to investigate Nicholas' whereabouts, as he must return the diamond watches that were carried away by him when they collided on the bridge.

Lizzie, who had just come down from her room upstairs intending to take a cold medicine, suddenly heard the sound of the phone ringing and she immediately received the call.

‘’Good morning!"

Vladimir was stunned to hear the voice of a woman on the phone.

"Good morning! Can I speak to Mr. Liebert.

"of course. Who am I talking to?"

"Vladimir Kalashnikov."

Lizzie was struck by lightning when the man she was talking to now on the phone was Vladimir. His body instantly froze, his hand holding the phone trembling, his face began to glaze over and did not feel tears had flowed on his cheeks and then quickly wiped away.

"Hello Miss! Are you still there?"

"Yes. I'm still here. I'll call Mr. Liebert immediately."

Lizzie quickly saves her phone and tells Nicholas. He found her in his study typing.

"There's a call for you from Vladimir Kalashnikov."

Nicholas looked at Lizzie with a sharp and serious look.

"really! I didn't think he'd call here."

Nicholas receives a call from Vladimir. They talked for a long time. Lizzie only notices Nicholas talking to Vladimir. He sat on the couch reading magazines while eating cookies. A few minutes later Nicholas finished talking to Vladimir. Lizzie demands an explanation for Nicholas why he got to know Vladimir.

"How do you know each other?"

"Aky's met and talked to her once, but she doesn't know who I am."

"Oh so. So tomorrow after tomorrow I'm going to Moscow and meet him?"

"For what?"

"My hands are carried away by it, so I'll go there and take it. I could have told him to send it here, but I changed my mind. I wanted to talk and meet him one more time and I happened to have business there in a few days. I'm not gonna tell him about you. Don't you worry about that."

"Thank you."

Lizzie went back to her room and got into her bed. There she came back crying.

"I was finally able to speak and hear her voice again after 2 months I left her. I was happy to hear her voice again, but on the other hand I felt guilty for leaving her for so long.Is she still mad at me? If I come back, will he forgive me? Vladimir, I miss you so much. Did he recognize my voice? May it not, "whisper his heart.

2 Days later

Vladimir was already in the office to welcome the arrival of Nicholas Liebert. Zoya notices Vladimir looking nervous and agitated at Nicholas' arrival, though she doesn't show it and tries to stay calm.

Then a knock came and Zoya came in and told him that Nicholas Liebert had arrived.

"Mr Kalashnikov, nice to see you again here."

"me too. Thank you for coming to see me here."

"I happen to have business here."

Nicholas smiled at Vladimir.

Even though Zoya had no idea what had happened to the two of them, she still paid attention to the two of them. Vladimir and Nicholas were very serious about talking, so Vladimir gave Nicholas a diamond watch.

"Thank you for keeping it for me. I think this watch is gone. This watch is a gift for my wife on our wedding anniversary day."

"I'm sorry I can give it to you now, because I don't know where I'm supposed to meet you, because I don't know your phone number."

"It's okay. I think I should leave immediately."

They then shake hands.

"I invited you and your family to my wedding anniversary party. I hope you can come."

"alright. Thanks for the invitation."

"Now I must go. Bye bye!"

"Bye bye!"

Nicholas leaves Vladimir's office followed by his secretary. Zoya continued to stare at Vladimir with many questions. Now it's just the two of them in the office.

‘’Do you know Mr Liebert?"

"I didn't know him before. I met him in Prague and I didn't know who he was either."

‘’Oh so apparently. You two were so happy when you met. He invited us to his birthday party. Do I have to go there?’’

"There's no harm in you going there."

‘’Good."

🍀🍀🍀

Lizzie was in her room thinking about something and pacing back and forth until her head felt dizzy, then she sat on the edge of her bed. Quickly he picked up his phone located beside his bed table and pressed the button in a hurry. Not long after that, a voice sounded.

"Hello Dad! Tomorrow the day after tomorrow I'll be back in Moscow."

"really?"dimitri asked in disbelief who was now in Moscow with Aleandra. "Who are you going with?"

"I went alone."

"Oh so. We're waiting for your return."

"Dad, I'll see you tomorrow!"

Lizzie also called Nicholas about his plans to return to Moscow. He immediately tidied his belongings and clothes into a suitcase, then went down to meet Reiko who was knitting clothes in the family room.

"Reiko, the day after tomorrow I'm going back to Moscow."

"Go back to Moscow! Why are you suddenly going home?"

"I was thinking about it, and I decided to go there. I want to see Vladimir there."

Reiko kept her knit on the table and sat down in front of Lizzie.

"Are you sure you'll see him?’’

‘’Iya. I'm sure already. I don't want to keep hiding and running away from trouble. He should know that I'm actually alive."

‘’Good. I support you, but I'm sorry I couldn't go with you there? So you're really going to see him?"

"I'll only see him from a distance. I dare not appear in front of him."

"I'm afraid he's still mad at me and hasn't forgiven me."

‘’So you just to see him from afar. If you keep like that, when will you be together."

‘’I'm sorry. I'll definitely meet him in person."

"Lizzie, you don't have to apologize. Hopefully when you get home from there it can bring good news."

‘’Thank you."

Zoya who was watching the drama on TV got a message from Anton

Miss Mizuki, I am waiting for you tomorrow afternoon in front of Shibuya station

Then Zoya replied to her message quickly.

All right, I'll come. See you tomorrow afternoon!"

Zoya is thrilled to get a message from Anton. Since dinner that time, they kept in touch over the phone. She was happy to finally meet Anton again. For Zoya, Anton is a mysterious man. Despite knowing each other, Zoya has no idea who Anton really is. Anrin was always busy with her work, so it was rare to meet.

The next day, Zoya was waiting in front of the train station 10 minutes faster. Five minutes later, Anton arrives with a bouquet of red roses and gives them to Zoya. Zoya's face turned red and received the flower, and the flower was given to her in front of the crowd. The people around them noticed it and started whispering.

‘’Thank you for the flowers."

Anton smiles and takes Zoya for a walk. They both walked in silence. The atmosphere became increasingly awkward, none of them spoke, then Anton turned into a small alley and entered a coffee shop.

"Welcome,’’ said the coffee shop waiter.

Then they took a seat near the window.

"Did you come here often?"ask Zoya

‘’Iya. I come here often. The coffee is so good here."

‘’True?’’

They both order a cup of coffee and an apple pie, then Zoya drinks her coffee.

‘’You are right. The coffee is delicious. I like it."

‘’Thank God you like it."

‘’There's what you took me out. Is there anything I want to talk about?’’

Anton's face turned red and looked timid, then he took something out of his jacket pocket a small gray box, then gave it to Zoya. He looked at Anton with a confused look, then Zoya opened the box and when he saw the contents, he was very surprised.

‘’What does all this mean?’’

"Miss Feguzina, will you marry me?’’

Zoya does not expect Anton to propose to her. He even proposed to her at a coffee shop. There is no more romantic place to propose to her than here.

‘’What is your answer? Sorry I proposed to you in a place like this. I'm not a romantic person."

Zoya's face flushed red and was nervous, then she drank back her coffee.

‘’Itu...I...’’

Zoya is playing with her finger.

‘’What Miss Feguziba? I don't understand’’.

Zoya sighed, then opened her mouth.

‘’I received your application,’’said Zoya with happy face .

‘’True?You accepted my proposal."

‘’I-iya.'

Anton yells in excitement, to the point that visitors at the coffee shop are shocked and they both take center stage at the coffee shop and Anton apologizes to them

‘’Sorry..sorry....’’.

Anton sat down and drank his coffee again.

‘’Thanks. Already accepted my proposal. We'll be setting our wedding date soon."

Then Anton puts a ring on Zoya's ring finger.

‘’I'm glad the ring fits on your finger."

Zoya then looks at the ring that has been coiled on her ring finger with a happy feeling.

🍀🍀🍀

Zoya came to the office early the next day. The feeling of happiness still enveloped him. He sang and whistled while tidying up important documents to hand over to Vladimir. Vladimir, who had arrived at his office, looked at Zoya in surprise.

‘’What's wrong with you today? It looks so good."

Zoya smiles at Vladimir and follows him into the office while handing him some documents and other files for Vladimir to check and sign.

‘’I'll be married in a minute."

Vladimir who had been seriously reading the document immediately stopped reading and turned to look at Zoya with a surprised look and did not believe that his secretary would soon get married.

‘’Whataaa? What did you say?’’

"Saua is getting married soon. Yesterday I was proposed by a handsome man."

‘’True? Who are you applying for? Do I know that guy? I wanted to introduce you to someone. If you've been proposed it's no use to introduce you to that person anymore."

‘’Thank you Mr. Kalashnikov, you've been willing to introduce your acquaintance to me. But it's not necessary. You don't seem to know that person."

Zoya shows her love to Vladimir.

‘’Happy for you. When are you getting married?’’

‘’I still don't know. Maybe soon enough."

‘’I hope that after you get married, you can remain my secretary."

‘’Rupanya You don't want to lose me as your secretary. I guess you'd be happy if I left."

‘’I don't want to lose a secretary as great as you."

Zoya smiled and started laughing.

‘’Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny?’’

‘’No. There's nothing. It's just that I didn't expect you to be afraid of losing me. I'd better go first. Excuse me."

Zoya was still laughing.

‘’What's with him? He's laughing at me." Vladimir shook his head.

Vladimir was so happy that his secretary was finally able to get married and live happily. During this time he has helped her a lot from work to matters of love.

Lizzie, who had finished cleaning her things, grabbed her phone and searched for a name and finally found the name in her car, Vladimir. With trembling hands he tried to press the call button, but he changed his mind and went back to saving his phone. Lizzie kept looking at her phone and picked it up again. He took a deep breath many times, then his hand pressed the call button. Sound of a continuous tone. Not long after, a man's voice sounded. The voice he had missed all this time.

‘’Halo, good afternoon!’’

Lizzie just kept quiet, her eyes started to glaze over, then cried in silence. He tried to keep the sound of his crying from being heard by Vladimir.

‘’Halo...hello...hello.....’’.

Lizzie then immediately hung up on him, then he cried on his bed.

Vladimir hung up his phone with a confused face.

‘’About who called me. It's so weird."

Vladimir then resumed his work again and he had forgotten the strange phone call that went into his office. [ ]
