Shattering Hearts

(S3): Misunderstanding

"I'd better take a shower first."

"Can you walk now."

"Int I'll try."

Lizzie went to the bathroom with her legs dragged and was followed by Vladimir from behind. After the two finished bathing, they ate together in the courtyard of the villa while enjoying the star-filled sky.

🍀🍀🍀

Sherly calls Vladimir's cell phone, but it's always off. Finally he called his house. Nicola, who happened to be passing by on the phone, received the call and Sherly asked Vladimir where he was. Nicola tells him that Vladimir doesn't want to be disturbed.

Nicola then hung up.

"The woman seems to like my son. Vladimir you must announce your relationship with Lizzie, otherwise the woman and the other women will continue to pursue you."

Lizzie came early in the morning to Vladimir's house.

"For Lizzie!’’said Nicola.

"Morning!’’

"How are you today?’’

"Good."

"Vladimit's still in his room. Just meet him there?’’

"Thank you."

Lizzie went up to the 2nd floor and knocked on Vladimir's room door.

"Log in!’’

"Morning!"

"Lizzie."

"This is lunch for you. You have to eat it."

Vladimir took lunch from Lizzie and Vladimir opened it.

"Don't open here. Later if you're going to have lunch."

"Well if that's what you want."

"Are you ready to go?’’

"Yes. Have you eaten?’’

"It has. Then accompany me to eat."

Vladimir pulled Lizzie's arm and there Nicola was waiting for breakfast.

"Morning!’’

"Morning! What time did your plane leave at 10 exactly."

"You'd better eat fast and you'll be Lizzie."

"I've eaten at home."

"It's okay if you want to eat here again. You have to take good care of Vladimir, because right now there's a woman who likes him."

Lizzie looked directly at Vladimir.

"Certainly it?’’

"Don't mind Dad's words. Why do you have to talk nonsense, too?"

"Dad doesn't talk nonsense. That's the truth."

"Lizzie, trust me no matter what. I can't possibly love another woman."

"I'll try to trust you."

They ate and no one spoke. The mood is silent.

"I'm done eating. I'm going to go now."

"Vladimir, be careful on the road!’’

Vladimir grabbed Lizzie's hand and went to the front of the house.

"Would you take me to the airport?’’

"Is that okay?’’

"of course. Let's go up."

In the car they don't talk to each other.

"Lizzie, why are you so quiet today?’’

"You too."

"As long as I go take care of your health. I'll call you often."

"You also take care of your health, do not be late to eat."

"Thank you for your advice."

The car drove straight to the airport. It does not take long to reach the airport. They both got out of the car. Vladimir was still holding onto Lizzie's hand. Zoya is waiting in front of the airport.

"Hello Lizzie, how are you?’’

"Good."

"The plane will soon be gone. We'd better get on the plane soon" Zoya said.

Vladimir looked at Lizzie and said goodbye to her.

"Lizzie, I've gotta go. You should go home soon. Don't wander around on your own outside!"

"alright. Vladimir, take good care of yourself there. See you!’’

Vladimir kissed Lizzie's lips.

"What if someone sees?’’

"Leave it. I just kissed my girlfriend."

Lizzie blushed in shame.

"Bye bye!’’

After the plane left, Lizzie got back in the car and went straight home.

🍀🍀🍀

Sherly comes to Vladimir's house and is greeted by Nicola, then Sherly asks for Vladimir's whereabouts. Nicolah told him that Vladimir was going to Greece. It was with great pleasure that Sherly planned to follow him there.

Vladimir and Zoya are on the plane. He brought out the lunch Lizzie gave him.

"It turns out you also brought food."

"Supply this Lizzie gives you."

"Oh yeah. Turns out Lizzie was very considerate of you."

"Of course."

Vladimir wondered what kind of lunch Lizzie made for him, then Vladimir opened it and smiled when he saw his lunch. Zoya also smiles when she sees Vladimir's lunch.

‘’It turns out that a famous lawyer was given lunch for children."

Zoya laughs and Vladimir laughs, and starts eating.

"Anyway this is handmade by the woman I love."

Vladimir ate the meal until it was finished.

"Hows it? What feels good?’’

"Very good."

"It looks like Lizzie's ready to be a good housewife."

🍀🍀🍀

Vladimir and Zoya were in Greece the next day. They went straight to the hotel.

"Mr will be here in about two hours. We'll meet in the lobby in two hours."

Vladimir went to his room and lay down for a while before starting his work. He closed his eyes and slept. Vladimir was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door. With his eyes still sleepy, he got off his bed and opened the door.

"It turns out you, Zoya. What's up?’’

Zoya looked at Vladimir with an annoyed look.

"Have you forgotten our appointment to meet with Mr You think it's what time?’’

Vladimir looked at his watch and was surprised, because it was less than 5 minutes from the specified hour.

"God! Why don't you call me right away?’’

"I've called you, but there's always no answer."

Vladimir looked at his phone and there were many missed calls from Zoya.

"You better get ready now."

"Take the files on the table."

Vladimir went into the bathroom to wash his face, then they went to the hotel lobby. There the Master and his assistant were already waiting and Vladimir greeted him.

After he had finished talking with Sir, Vladimir returned to his room and began to check the files. Not feeling it was night, Vladimir was still busy working, then shocked by the sound of knocking on the door. He approached the door holding a paper in his hand.

"You."

"Good night Vladimir! Am I bothering you?’’

"No. Please enter! What are you doing here Sherly?’’

"I happen to be here with a little business, you know that Dad opened a clothing store near here. That's why I came here to look around my father's shop. Last afternoon I saw you in the lobby seriously talking to someone. Actually, I wanted to greet you, but it looks like you can't be bothered. Then I asked your room to the receptionist and I'm finally here to see you. How about we have dinner together?’’

"alright. We had dinner together. Can you wait for me soon my work will be done."

"By pleasure,’’said Sherly happily.

Sherly looked at Vladimir who was seriously at work. Vladimir finished his work.

"Let's eat. You must be hungry. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"That's no problem."

They both got into the elevator and they didn't realize anyone was watching them.

"Vladimir, this time it's you. I caught you wet with a woman. It will definitely be big news,’’ said the person smiling cynically.

Vladimir and Sherly were already at the hotel restaurant. Sherly looks happy to have dinner with him. They become the center of attention when they enter the restaurant. The girl had heard people talk that she and Vladimir were a compatible couple.

They were sitting in chairs near the window. They enjoyed their dinner and Vladimir didn't say much.

"What do you think about gossip about us?’’

"I don't care about that rumor. Whatever they want to say. How about you?’’

"I think we should just make that rumor right."

Vladimir stopped eating and looked at Sherly, then went back to eating again.

"Why do you want the gossip to be true?’’

"Because I like you."

Vladimir looked at Sherly back.

"I've liked you for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to say it, but tonight I gathered the courage to tell you."

"Thank you, you've been honest with how you feel about me. I like you too."

"Really?’’

Sherly's eyes twinkled as Vladimir said he liked her.

"Yes. I like you, but...’’.

"But...’’.

Vladimir looked at Sherly.

"I like you as a friend nothing more than that."

Vladimir sees Sherly disappointed.

"sorry. Disappointed you. I can't return your feelings. I'm happy to have been liked by you, but I don't love you. I just think of you as my best friend. Sorry Sherly."

"Do you already have a woman you love?’’

"Yes." Yeah."

"I understand."

They continued to eat dinner in a quiet atmosphere. Vladimir could see the sadness in the woman. Sherly has misinterpreted their friendship into love. Sherly was a college friend and they lost contact. Two months ago, he suddenly contacted me again, since then they have been communicating frequently.

After dinner, Vladimir returns to the room, while Sherly sits in the hotel lobby, and Sherly sees Zoya entering the elevator.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?’’

Sherly takes Zoya to sit in one of the hotel lobbies.

"What do you want to talk to me about?’’

"Who is the woman Vladimir loves?’’

Zoya did not expect this woman would ask her this.

"You surely know. You've been working for him for a long time. Please tell me who he is."

"sorry. I can't say that to you. If you knew who that woman was, what would you do?’’

"That's me not knowing either. It's just that I'm curious, actually Vladimir has a lover or not, because as long as I know him, I've never seen a woman close to him, so I conclude that he doesn't have a lover."

"All your questions about Mr. Kalashnikov will be answered, if the time is right. If nothing else is asked. I'm going to go."

"alright. You can go."

Zoya got into the elevator and headed for her room. Vladimir who had taken a shower and got dressed called Lizzie. In the hotel room Vladimir kept contacting Lizzie, but there was always no answer.

"Is Lizzie asleep? But it's not too late."

Vladimir hung up his phone and lay down on the bed.

"Lizzie, what are you doing? Miss you. I wanted to hear your voice, but you're hard to call."

Vladimir took his phone again and called Lizzie's house. The waiter said that Lizzie had been in her room since last day and had not been out of the room and had not touched her lunch or dinner at all. Vladimir who heard the servant's explanation became worried about Lizzie's state.

"Lizzie, actually what has happened to you?’’

That night Vladimir could not sleep well. The next day he daydreamed a lot and did not concentrate on his work.

"What's with you today? Today you look a lot dreamy. Has something happened to Lizzie?’’

"Why did you conclude this had something to do with Lizzie?’’

"Only Lizzie can make you like this."

Vladimir smiled forcedly.

"You're right. Until now I have not been able to contact him and since yesterday afternoon Lizzie locked herself in her room. I really don't know what happened to him. I'm so worried about him."

"Rupanya so. You better go home this afternoon. Your job is done this afternoon. The rest leave it to me. I'll be back in Tokyo tomorrow."

"really? Can I go home this afternoon?’’

Zoya nodded her head. Then Vladimir again eagerly finished his work so that he could go home this afternoon. Vladimir tried to contact Lizzie again, but the result was the same as yesterday there was no answer from him. Vladimir quickly tidied up his things and left the hotel in a hurry.

Sherly knocked on Vladimir's room many times and there was no answer. Zoya approaches Sherly who is knocking on Vladimir's room.

"Mr Kalashnikov has returned to Moscow."

"really? When?’’

"About 3 hours ago."

"Isn't he coming home tomorrow?’’

"According to such a plan, but he has important affairs in Moscow, so hurry back."

"Thank you for telling me."

Sherly leaves from Vladimir's room and gets into the elevator. Zoya who notices Sherly feels sorry for her.

"You shouldn't fall in love with her."

🍀🍀🍀

The next morning Vladimir was at Lizzie's house.

"Vladimir, you're not in Greece. Why can it be here?’’aleandra asked in surprise.

"I came home early, because I was worried about Lizzie."

"We're also worried about Lizzie. Since yesterday he's locked himself in his room and doesn't eat."

"What actually happened to him?"

Aleandra handed some papers to Vladimir. He was shocked by the newspaper's headlines today.

"Maybe Lizzie is mad at you, because of that. As long as you're in Greece you haven't known today's news here. When we read it, we were really shocked and we didn't believe this news. Is this news true?’’

Vladimir was shocked when he saw the news.

"Didn't you guys believe me? This news is all lies are not true at all."

"In the photo you and a woman came out of the hotel room. How Lizzie's not mad at you. You better solve this problem soon."

"I admit the woman was at the hotel where I was staying, but I didn't do anything about her. He just happened to be staying over there, because he also had some business there."

"You better explain that to Lizzie.’’

"I'll explain everything to Lizzie."

Suddenly Vladimir's phone rang. [ ]
