Bab 1. I Am A Trouble Maker

"Mom, I beg you to help me!" I begged very deeply. I hope at least a mother can understand the difficulties of her daughter.

"No! I said, no! why don't you understand too? if you're having a hard time, just go home! what are you going to endure for?you're always giving your parents a hard time!" she said angrily and immediately ended the call.

"Mom, wait! don't turn it off! Mom, please!"

"Tit ... tit ... tit ..." the connection was lost. Damn, I never thought she would be this cruel to me.

I was silent for five seconds, sitting alone at the bus stop with a sad face. Continue to wonder in my heart, is this the end in my strong determination at that time? I was confident in leaving home thinking that I could get a good job in London and become a rich man.

What am I really thinking? really who I am can be so sure of in my own abilities? damn, my life is really shit. Only three days in London, I was already homeless.

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, huh? ah ... hungry! haven't eaten since morning, how about this?" I muttered. I'm sure the people passing by at the bus stop continue to stare at me sitting for hours at the bus stop carrying a suitcase.

Anxiously, I tried to ascertain how much money I had in my wallet and the result, "No ..." I shouted lamenting how poor I was.

"Only 20 Pounds left, how can I survive with this little money? and why is not one of my job applications accepted? Oh God, help your servant!"

"Hey, are you all right? did you just get robbed?" asked an old woman who looked at me with pity. I smiled bitterly, I can't possibly tell her that I don't have the money to rent a hotel or apartment for 20 Pounds.

"Ah, no! I'm fine!" I said, smiling awkwardly.

"Thank Goodness, I thought you just got mugged! because you've been sitting here nervous!" the old woman smiled with relief. Her face is very soft, she said that she saw me sitting at this stop with a restless face? that means, she's been watching me since I've sat here?

"Her face looks like my grandma!" I thought. This old woman reminds me of my grandmother who died when I was in high school.

"Can I sit beside you?"

"Sure, please!" I said as shifted and gave her a seat. She sat down slowly with a little difficulty using the stick. Seeing her who seemed to need help, I immediately helped her.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Lyra!"

"Lyra? are you a traveler?"

"Um ... not really! I'm looking for a job here, I came from out of town!"

"Is that so? from what city?"

"York!"

"York? my husband also came from York City. It's a very nice city!" she said with a smile.

Somehow I feel this conversation is a bit long. I still remember how my grandmother used to always tell me at length, the only grandchildren who want to hear the story of her past or I could say, I'm the only grandchild who has a lot of free time.

"But, London is so much better!"

"Yes, maybe the values ​​vary. But, every place must have its own value!"

"Right! then, can I also know your name, Grandma?"

"Maria, Mariana Logunova,"

"Grandma Maria? are you waiting for someone, Grandma?"

"No! I shopped at the supermarket across the street and saw you sitting here since I walked into the supermarket three hours ago. So I thought, maybe you are in trouble and no one is helping you!"

Honestly, I felt very moved. How could other people feel more pity than my own family? this world is strange. After I realized it, Grandma Maria brought a white package and seemed to be filled with household items.

Grandma opened the plastic wrap and took out a packet of bread, a bottle of orange juice and two apples. She gave it to me.

"This is for you, you can eat it!"

"Th ... thank you ..."

"You said you were looking for a job, right? I heard that the supermarket is currently opening a job as a shop clerk. You can try it!"

"Re ... really?"

"Right!"

"Oh ... thank you very much, Grandma!"

"You're welcome!"

A black car stopped in front of the bus stop, Grandma Maria immediately got up as a middle-aged man in uniform got out of the car and opened the door.

"Madame, sorry for the long wait!" said the man.

I was dumbfounded when the man called Grandma Maria with the title 'Madame' as if Grandma was not just anyone. I helped Grandma into the car and realized one thing, the zipper of her bag was open and I could see a brown wallet.

"How about this? should I take it? if it gets caught?" I was restless inside as the strong will to survive soared in the air. It feels like I really have no choice.

"Thank you, then see you?" said Grandma as she waved her hand before the car sped off.

"Yes, bye, Grandma Maria? be careful on the way!"

"Good luck?" she said as the car started moving forward. I was speechless.

"Oh God, I'm sorry! if I got a job and lots of money, I will definitely return it. In this wallet there must be an ID card, right?"

I immediately hid the wallet in my bag before anyone realized it, I hope there are no surveillance cameras in this place, otherwise, my history is over.

"I'm at your door? can you come out now?"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Jimmy walked out of the dormitory door with a cynical face, I knew he would look at me like that. I smiled like a fool trying to win over my brother who was still in college.

"Hi Jimmy, how are you? you seem healthy, huh?"

"What do you want to come here for?"

"Hey, don't talk like that to your sister who has come all the way to see how you are! um ... didn't you invite me to come inside, so we can chat casually,"

"Why are you carrying a suitcase? where do you live?"

"I ..."

"I know! you must be a bum, aren't you?"

"Don't talk carelessly! who do you call a bum?"

"If not a bum, what else? who is a sane person carrying suitcases around like that?"

"Alright, you're right! but, what else can I do? finding a job will be difficult. Moreover, I'm only a high school graduate!"

"It's your own fault! wasted many opportunities in your life! now, you know what that feels like, right?"

"Never mind, don't advise me! I'm seven years older than you!"

"No matter how old you are, if your attitude is still childish like this, you won't be successful! so, just give up and go home!"

"If I go home now, what will happen? I've only been in London three days and just gave up? what will people say about me?"

"It's your own fault! after all, everyone in the city already knows what kind of person you are? so, why are you only now thinking about people's judgments?"

"Ah, never mind! I don't want to hear it from you! lend me money!" I said, holding up my hand.

"You beggar! came to your brother who was still in college to ask for money. When you can give me an allowance?"

"Later, when I get a job, I'll definitely give you allowance. Now lend me 2000 Pounds, I want to rent an apartment!"

"What? 2000 Pounds? are you out of your mind? where am I that much money! you crazy!"

"You got a scholarship from the university, right? surely you got allowance too! Mom and Dad must also send you allowance, I'm sure of that! so, please lend me 2000 Pounds!"

"I don't have that kind of money! go away, leave me alone!" said Jimmy as he walked away.

"Wa ... wait! lend me some money!" I asked, hugging Jimmy's back and holding him back before giving me the money.

"No! let me go! if you like this, I will scream!"

"Shout if you dare! I'll beat you!"

"You crazy woman! go ...!" he shouted, trying to release my embrace. Of course I will lose to my younger brother is more strength. Jimmy pushed me away and went straight into his room.

"Jimmy ... Jimmy, I'm begging you! lend me some money! if not given, I will wait at the door! Jimmy ...!" I shouted, banging hard on the door.

Meanwhile, in his room, Jimmy looked very depressed to see his sister's crazy behavior. Conny, his roommate was confused by the screams of a woman who kept calling Jimmy's name like a debt collector.

"Jim, who's shouting at the door?"

"Crazy people! just ignore it!" he said curtly.

Although annoyed, he also felt sorry. Because after all, the woman he called crazy was his sibling. With a heavy heart, Jimmy pulled the money from his personal safe and opened the door.

"Hey, crazy woman! you've made people feel annoyed! take this and get out of here!" she said while giving me some money.

"400 ... 500 ... 600 ... 700 pounds? only 700 pounds? not enough!" I said, protesting.

"I only have that much! if you don't want to, return the money!"

"Never mind, then I'll go first!"

"Hey, don't forget to return the money!"

"Yes, it's noisy!" I said as I walked away and pulled my suitcase.

Jimmy took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, saying to himself. "Shit! why do I have a sister like her?"

Bab 2. A Charming Man
My eyes caught a five-story apartment building that looked simple, but quite nice. If I observe, this building stands in the middle of a very strategic city, besides that it is also quite compared to other apartments."Everdeen's apartment! is that my family name, do any relatives have an apartment in London? I don't think so!" I thought, chewing on the apple Grandma Maria gave me.I'm not sure that renting a one bedroom apartment would be cheap given the appearance of this apartment. At least, the monthly rental price must be 1000-2000 Poundsterling per month. However, this is the last apartment closest to the supermarket. If tomorrow I get an interview call, at least I don't have to pay for the bus or train fare."Excuse me!" I said to the apartment reception center. A bespectacled middle-aged man looked at me and smiled broadly."Yes, can I help you, Miss?""Is there an empty apartment?""For the one bedroom?""Ah yes, one bedroom!"

Bab 3. How To Survive
"Sha ... sha ... share a room with you? are you serious?" I asked with a flushed face and a twitching nose, I could feel a flow of blood coming out of my nostrils.The man gave me a confused look, his gaze seemed to say that I looked like a disgusting pervert."Damn! I can't control my mind! ouch, why am I thinking dirty?" I thought. Really, this is one of the reasons why I hate myself getting complacent easily with handsome men."Are you okay?""Ah ... yes, I'm fine! but, are you sure to share an apartment with me? because we don't know each other and ...""Shouldn't I be the one asking that? you're a woman, so I thought you must have considered it, right?""That's right, but I'm in a phase where I can't even consider anything. You know? It's like living in the wild, you have to fight your hardest to survive!" I say with sickening nonsense. This man was silent, studying me with a look full of question marks.I'm sure he's thinking that he s

Bab 4. He's My Savior Angel
It's useless avoiding my surveillance. Even if he refuses my offer to help carry his groceries, I will keep going as long as it makes me look like a good woman to his eyes."Bo ... Boss, let me bring it! you seem to be troubled, hehe ..." I mean to be a super understanding partner, I think I'm more someone who has hidden intentions in her every kindness."No need! I can bring my own groceries. You better think about your suitcase that you left in front of the apartment!" he said as he walked away with a cold face that was hard to understand."Ah ... shit! I forgot my suitcase!" I shouted. I ran imperceptibly towards my poor suitcase.I immediately opened and checked the contents, nothing is missing, everything is still intact like when I left it an hour ago."Ugh ... how tired! my legs hurt from walking all day long. But it's okay, at least I have a chance to survive!" I muttered in a fiery spirit.I pulled my suitcase as I ran towards the apartme

Bab 5. He's So Hot
I panicked, trying to find a place to hide. I don't know because I'm used to hiding every time I almost get caught stealing, it makes my reflexes very good. Because of that, instead of hiding, it would be better if I act naturally as if I had not done something despicable like peeking at a man who was taking a shower."Oh my God, what did I do? I almost peeked at it! but, at least let me see just a little!" I thought. My hand opened the refrigerator which was filled with neatly arranged groceries. Even the bottles of juice and milk are arranged just like in supermarkets."This guy is definitely the kind of person who is neat and disciplined, bad too!" I took a can of juice and I drank just as the door opened and revealed a man with a sexy body topless, half wet hair and a white towel wrapped around his hips.My eyes glanced at the scenery that so spoiled the eyes and made the wombs of women feel warm. It's so beautiful that I can feel blood coming out of my nose.

Bab 6. He's So Perfect
I don't know why today I feel hot, even though this apartment should be very cool. Maybe because of the factor there is a man with a very hot body staying with me. It felt like a dream, a dream that never appeared while I was sleeping.If someone asks me, what activity do I enjoy the most? I will definitely answer bath. For a reckless and lazy woman like me, bathing was supposed to be a rare activity. But not for me, because I really like bathing.When I stay over at a friend's house, the first thing I see is the bathroom and what kind of soap she uses. After that, I'll definitely take the last bath so I can linger in the tub."Bathing is the most fun!" I immediately opened my clothes one by one in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at myself and my body which I thought was quite attractive."Even though my size is Cup E, why was Lucien not interested at that time? did he think that mine not big enough? or maybe he doesn't like women? it's strange that the

Bab 7. He Called Me A Bum
"Toothbrush? which one? okay, this is the cheapest one! because I only use his toothbrush once. So, it doesn't matter if I change to the cheapest one!" I muttered as I picked up two toothbrushes hanging on the shelf.Seeing this supermarket, I was reminded of Grandma Maria's suggestion who asked to try applying for jobs, because they were currently opening vacancies. Although I'm sure the salary as a supermarket clerk like this is definitely not that big. But in the meantime it won't hurt until my finances are stable."Agh ... thinking about the rent that I have to spend makes my head hurt! if only at that time Lucien immediately asked for the money, maybe now I don't have any more money to shop. My only hope is 700 pounds that Jimmy lent me. Wait a minute, haven't I not yet to look at the contents of the wallet? how much will it contain? if Grandma Maria is picked up by a luxury car and a private driver, that means she is a rich person. Then, there must be a lot of mo

Bab 8. My Fantasies About Him
"Really? I got hired?" I asked the middle-aged man who was the manager of the supermarket."Right! you can start work tomorrow!""Ah ... thank God! thank you very much, thank you!" I said. It didn't take long, now I've been hired. That way, a little more I can pursue my dream of becoming a successful career woman.I walked home with joy, hoping I could celebrate my success in being accepted to work at the shop by eating delicious food. I hope Lucien has filled his refrigerator with food, so that when he leaves, I can take it."If he gets angry again! I will kick him again like yesterday! but, it seems my kick was too much. It must be very painful! what if he gets really mad at me?" my heart became restless thinking about Lucien who had not been seen since this morning.Looks like I've gone too far, even though if you think about it I was wrong, why did I beat him up instead? but, it was all because of that rude mouth. Calling me a bum and a beggar, he d

Bab 9. Crazy Woman
"I didn't do anything! after all, rather than love, she was just obsessed with me. It was a ridiculous feeling! so, I hope you can make her understand!""Hahaha ... well, maybe I should try one more time. But, can I know where else you moved?""No! this time I won't tell anyone including you!" he said sarcastically. The look on Lucien's face who rarely smiled, made William laugh. According to him, Lucien took all problems too seriously."Why? are you afraid I will tell Olivia?""You are easily seduced by her, it makes me difficult! this time, I want to live in peace without being bothered by that crazy woman!""Really? but, why do you look even more uneasy?""What do you mean?""Your eyebrows are furrowed, you look annoyed. Did something happen?""Yes, I can say there is a little problem. Just a small problem, but very annoying! You don't need to worry, I can handle it!""Really? I also want to convey a message from your father,

Bab 10. Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
"I'm Lyra Everdeen, please cooperate!" I introducing myself to my comrades.I was a little nervous and at the same time, I was happy that I finally got hired. I think this is a good start for me, I got a place to live that is very comfortable and close to my workplace and I also got a job even though the salary is not that big, but I think it doesn't hurt to stay like this for a while."Lyra, for your first assignment, can you arrange these detergents on the shelf?can you do that?" asked the manager."Yes, I can do it!""All right then, happy work!" the manager said as he walked away, leaving me with a pile of detergent that had to be neatly arranged on the empty shelves.I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, to welcome this bright day with a new life. I remembered that I hadn't called my mother since I last asked her to send money. Looks like mother is still very angry with me and father doesn't even ask how I'm doing.I thought back to the la
