L'Amour Vrai
Episode 40: Party of Meihnard Company
Happy reading♡
Rafael massages his temples. Traveling from Japan to Boston is very energy draining. If he had not been invited by Meinhard's side, he would have chosen to spend another night in Japan.
Rafael stared at the long road in front of him. His mind again recalled the figure of the girl he had left a few days ago.
He remembers the last time they met at the cafe. More precisely just looking instead of meeting. Because Rafael immediately passed from the cafe after seeing the whereabouts of El. Not that he did not want to say hello or just throw a gaze at each other, only Rafael knows, if El is still so angry with him.
But unbeknownst to Rafael, sebenk9arnya El also saw it in the cafe.
Miris indeed, people who were originally close and mutually greeting each other are now people who do not know each other.
Sometimes the game of fate is hard to guess. But as humans, we can only live it like a character and a main character. Same with Rafael and El.

Worryingly. That's what El feels right now. He did not want to humiliate his extended family with his current state. But he also did not want to make them disappointed because of his absence at his grandfather's company party.
The current state of El is quite alarming. His head and ankles were bandaged and there were several patches of wound plaster on his hands. Even so, the beauty of an El Menihard never faded. It remains stunning in any look.
For the umpteenth time, he sighed. He looked back at his reflection in the mirror. Sit in a wheelchair.
"Dear" call Clau.
"Yes mom".
"You're so pretty" praised Clau, El's mama.
"Mom beautiful and handsome, of course I have to be beautiful like mom" said El made Claudia smile.
"You ready to get out of here? The whole family is waiting for you" Clau said. El just nodded his head.
Claudia slowly turned the wheelchair used by El to go to the exit of the room that had been occupied by El.
"Don't be afraid baby, mom is always with you" said Clau.
"Yes mom" said El.
Slowly but surely, the two of them had already reached the door of the main building. The venue of the event.
When the door opens, automatically all the attention of people who are in there look at the door.
Almost all of the guests were surprised. But Ek remained calm as if nothing had happened.
"Hi dear" said Hans.
"Hallo opa" said El smiling.
"Come on, let opa push your seat" Hans said.
Unexpectedly, Hans brought El to the stage area. El looked towards Hans. But Hans just smiled and nodded.
"Good night everyone" Hans said.
"I thank you for taking the time to attend the event that I have held every year" said Hans.
"I don't want to talk much tonight. I just want to show the world that I'm the luckiest person in the world" Hans said.
"I am very grateful for the presence of this little girl in the Meinhard family. Everything changed after his presence".
"She is my only granddaughter" Hans said, looking at El, who was also staring at her.
"Maybe not many knew her, she was Barbie El Meinhard. The daughter of Meinhard's family. A girl I love very much".
"Tonight, officially, I will hand over all Meinhard Company's assets to him" Hans told El.
"Let's calm, Arthur and Billie or the others, they've given me their rights" Hans said.
"Therefore, meet the President Director of the new Meinhard Company, Barbie El Meinhard" Hans said. Claps echoed in all directions. Hans smiled as did the rest of the family. They are proud and happy, finally, their favorite daughter has officially become the owner of the largest company there.
El himself was very upset. How not, he himself did not know this news first.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Ask Hans.
"I want to go to the toilet" El said.
"Oh, all right, one second" Hans said.
Hans closed the conversation and pushed back his grandson's wheelchair to get off the stage.
"My wife, please take my granddaughter to the toilet" Hans told his wife Liana.
"No opa, oma I can be alone" said El then pushed his own wheelchair.
On the other side, a man was clenching his hands. Like holding back his emotions. The man followed the direction where El went.
And here El is now. In a gazebo in the company of his grandfather. He was just an alibi who wanted to go to the toilet.
El breathed his heavy breath. To be honest he did not know if his grandfather would turn his company over to him. Without informing and just immediately raised the position of El to be the main director at Meinhard company.

From a distance of five several meters, Rafael was watching El sitting alone in this quiet place.
Strange indeed, even though there is a big big party being held. El came out of the building.
To be honest, Rafael was eager to greet the girl. For a long time he did not feel the distinctive aroma of his body.
But Rafael chose to hold back. He thought about not meeting his girl now. For sure it would make her girl hate him even more.
"I miss you" said El faintly heard by Rafael. Raphael was flinging. Who does the girl miss?.
Rafael continued to watch El's movements. Billie comes to get El to come home soon.
"Oma told you to go home first. Your condition is still unstable. I'll take you home" Billie said.
"Can I ask you a question?" El Say.
"About?".
El was silent. But Billie understood and knew what his cousin's sister would ask.
Slowly Billie sat in the chair in the gazebo. Next to the El wheelchair.
"I know, you still have doubts about how you feel?" Ask Billie.
"Should have been, you no longer need to hesitate. Rafael is the right man for you. And I'm pretty sure he'll always make you happy" Billie said.
"How did you know?" Ask El curiously.
"What I don't know, I've known you since you were a kid" Billie said.
"I want to meet him" El said.
"With purpose?" Ask Billie.
"I just want to apologize" El said.
"Not because you miss him?" Billie was on target.
"T-no. Who misses him" El denied.
"Don't lie about your own feelings El" Billie said.
"I said no yes no" said El.
"Yes yes, women are always right" Billie relented and pushed El's wheelchair into the car and headed straight home.
