Chapter 49
Travel Ilona speedy end. Soon he had to come back with a group of tourists at his home in Kiev. And she, Ilona, has not yet found a way to stay in France illegally. Where can she stay? Where can she find work without papers? Ilona does not know yet, but she was convinced to invent something. Was she raised money for nothing, just to admire the romantic beauty of Paris? And then pay to pay off debts. Although the responses Ilona had no questions. She was sitting in the park on a bench to relax and enjoy after being works of art. She does not care. His gaze was attracted by signs of high street shops. Ilona had so much money, she would have gone to shop and buy, buy, buy everything. But she had no money. No, she had a hope of finding someone to sponsor and was not already riche.Elle young and attractive, and even in his youth, Ilona had no great beauty. Ilona choked by his greed and absent from. If Ilona could cry, she cry, all this will become easier. Ilona but never cry. Instead of calming by the tears of life Ilona used menthol cigarettes. She lit a cigarette and began smoking slowly. In a deserted alley
slowly walked a woman. She went to where Ilona sat and made a gesture asking for smoking. That
-gladly-Ilona handed a cigarette to the woman.
- You're from Russia, I guessed - a woman smiles, then she took the lighter, lit a cigarette, and asked eagerly,
- Do I sit?
- of course - said Ilona - Sit down, it's so good to talk with someone in their language maternelle.Et Ilona immediately proceeded to attack:
"You're French? How do you speak Russian?
- Yes, now I am French, but I am Born in Ukraine, in a beautiful old city. Have you heard of cucumbers Nejin? So it's in my hometown.
-I have heard, and I ate - Ilona revived. I'm from Kiev.
-What are you doing in Paris?
Ilona's heart was beating so fast that she could not answer immediately. Hidden derrère smoke his cigarette, taking a short break, and she replied:
- I am looking for employment. Preferably in the house of the wealthy owners
Really! - Welcomes a woman. - Today, you and I are incredibly lucky. A friend with her man in Ukraine has to make me a visit. I am looking for a good Russian-speaking, because my girlfriend does not speak French. It must be accompanied in a city, it must be to help with household chores. Would you take this job?
Ilona was afraid to rush to respond. Nobody knows who this woman is. It can become a slave or be stolen organs. But she could not refuse, it's such a chance! In any case, Ilona said
- What do you do?
She willingly answered
-I 've a small publishing house. In my youth I loved to read, she tried to write poetry. They even published in local newspapers and books of poetry. But it does not matter. The art of memory feelings. And with that I have a problem. So, in my youth and I did not get no love. I thought we should work hard to become a good poet. I studied and I realized that science-that is the memory of the mind. I met a publisher in France, he published my book of poems. After that, we became friends and then get married. My husband died a few years ago. I continue to work, live alone, I miss a lot. The French - they are good people, but they their own mentality, and it is difficult for foreigners s'adopter to them, and even make friends, as we used here. Person does not invite you here to eat a borscht, dumplings huge drinking vodka with bacon.
Slowly, the woman hid a butt of his cigarette into a special bag and put it away in his bag. Ilona held his cigarette in his hand and did not know where to put it. If a publisher is not there it would have thrown it away in the butt bushes or even here near the bench in the grass. To increase the work of French cleaners. But this lady was sitting very grown by side. So you have to be on his best days. Ilona hid his cigarette in a package with a gesture as she wanted to propose another cigarette
- Thanks, I normally do not smoke, but now I have no reason to I keep my health because of cancer last stage. Now I can drink and smoke.
Ilona welcomed his words, but she hid her good reaction. What luck! Maybe the owner will need care, not only for the short period but also later? We must accept this job.
- You know, I am ready to work for you.
- It's good - a happy woman replied. - When can you start?
- Immediately.
