A week later…..
Anne studied the girl in front of him. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon and Anne's stomach was rumbling hungrily but Arissa didn't seem to care about it at all. It had been 4 hours since the two of them sat in the living room and learning preliminary skills in basic reading and counting. Unbelievably, she was able to absorb all the information which been given like a sponge in 3 days! On the 4th day, Arissa always staying in the library for at least 4 hours in a row and reading all the books which in there. Her learning ability and thirst of new things are enormous. She was willing to study all the knowledge that she is learning now. Apparently, she is studying grammar and how to use of proper tenses in English.
"Kak Rissa?" asked Anne with her pitiful face. Arissa tilted her head and stared back at her with a puzzled look.
"I am hungry. May I have my meal time? I haven’t eaten my lunch yet.. " asked A
Arissa looked at his face calmly and answered confidently."Yes…"………………………………………………………………………… ..An hour later, Arissa and Jose were having breakfast together in a local restaurant."Listen to me, Arissa. The announcement of the national exam results will be announced in 3 days, if you are in the Top 10 of the National Ranking, you will get a full scholarship funded by the government and private courses to prepare yourself and take the advanced level for the next national exam. Just in case, your rank also hit in the Top Ten of National Ranks for the results of the advanced level, you will get another full scholarship from the government in any university which you enrolled to... "Arissa nodded once again. "Yes, mother has already told me about it
The woman held her glasses on her nose and observed the building in front of her thoroughly. She finally arrived at an old 2-story apartment that stood firmly in front of her. She looked at the small note in her hand and make sure that she had arrived at the right address. Then, she walked forward for a few steps. Shake the copper old bell that was hung next to the entrance.After a while, an old man with a sour face opened the door.He narrowed his eyes and asked softly. Just for a confirmation. Make sure that she was the right person.“Miss Arissa?”The woman nodded her head firmly. The man opened the door widely and invited her to come inside. Soon, her figure disappeared into the building.………………………………………………………………………………&hellip
After Arissa and the young stranger got an agreement, the next step was the making of a contract between Mr. Evan as the owner and them as the tenants. Three of them have agreed to pay the fixed price for 1 year. Whereas other expenses like the electricity, water bill, et cetera will be paid regularly by the occupant. After three of them signed the contract, Arissa transferred a half of the sum as a downpayment and the rest of it, will be paid after they both moved in and arranged their stuffs inside. Around three days from now. After the owner came home and handing the keys to the young man. Now there were only her and the weirdo young man who stay still inside the room.The atmosphere getting more awkward between two of them because they are completely a pair of perfect stranger. Never met before and totally have no idea about one another at all. Then, starting tomorrow, they will officially share room and living under the same roof.After a long
It’s more like a staring contest between them until Cristan’s voice broke the silence first. He cleared his throat and asked.“So, who will go first? Me or you?”“Me…”Soon, she snatched the ballpoint and start writing on the papers. It only took around five minutes and the empty b
Arissa wakes up early in the morning for starting her routine. Exercising. Running and jogging. For her, the best moments in life always started in a fresh body. While she listening to her favorite song through her earphone, she jogs lightly around her neighborhood. She socialized and familiarize herself with the locals. Adjusting to her new environment. There’s a homemade bakery shop in the corner that always bakes their buns at dawn. The smelt of roasted buns made her stomach growled that morning. Made her stopped to buy few loaves of bread for her takeaway breakfast. Then, while she continues walking, she also found a flower shop, a traditional market, and a minimart around her areas. She also can smell a slight of the sea breeze from afar. She also sure, if she going a bit further, she probably will find a harbor later.
“OMG!!! SO THE RUMOR IS TRUE!! SHE’S PERFECT!! AMAZING!! GORGEOUS!!”Jojo and Arissa stunned and blinked their eyes several times in disbelief.“I think…. There’s a miss understanding here, Vika. Jo, would you mind explaining more about me to her?”Jojo cleared his throat and his mouth curved a wicked smile on his face.“Her name is Arissa Nova. And yes, she’s our new supermodel..”“JO!!!” Arissa shoots her protest and nudged her best friend harshly with her elbow. Jojo laughed out loud and raised both of his hands in the air.“Ok..ok, sorry. I screwed up. I’m just kidding, Arissa. Vika, this is our new photographer, and starting from today, she will be working with us..”After Vika heard it, both of her eyes widened once again. A huge grin appears on her chubby face.“That’s wonderful
“Jo!! What are you doing??!!”Arissa gasped loudly and her eyes widened in a great shock when she saw Jojo's suddenly bent his knees in front of her.She utterly confused and embarrassed in the same time. How if there someone who seeing them like this? She crouched down and asked him to get up as soon as soon as possible."What are you doing, Jo? This is… embarassing, you know! Get up now! How if someone passed by and look at us like this? "But, he’s unwavering. Arissa gasped shockedly when suddenly, Jojo took her arms tightly and looked at her face with a firm look."I will get up with one condition, Arissa…”A deep furrow appears on her face while a bad feeling crept onto her spine. Arissa squinted nervously.“Yes?” She answered him in doubt.“Help me, Sa ...pleasee… "“And what kind of help is that, Jo?”“I nee
Manuel is checking the pictures that he took before when suddenly he felt an urge to go to the restroom. After he finished and walked by, his eyes saw something. A coincidental scene that captivated his instinct as a professional photographer.There was a woman dressed beautifully in summer dress and she’s posed in front of his colleagues. From her gesture, Manuel knows that she’s not a professional model. But her look and appearance illuminate with some kind of whimsical charm. Her elegance radiant in every pose that she shown off. Her fair skin glows under the lights. Her platinum hair sleek fall to her back and shoulder. Her bright blue eyes are mesmerizing. Alluring. Hypnotizing. And the outfit that she wears was perfectly matched with the curves on her body. As if it was made just for her. She’s such a raw talent and genuine beauty.“Pure…”Manuel whispered to himself when he spontaneously grabbed his camera
