L'Amour Vrai
Episode 55: Map
Happy reading♡
After choosing the dress and the toxedo, El asks Rafael to drive her home. It was supposed to be Clifford who picked up El, but because Cliff and his wife had just arrived, El had to be delivered by Rafael.
Arriving at the entrance, Rafael did not have time to enter because suddenly there was an important meeting in his company. El waved his hand as Rafael's car walked out of the courtyard of his mansion.
"Hi mom, dad" greeted El when he saw Cliff and Claudia sitting in the living room.
"Hi baby, how are you? Mom misses you so much" Clau said, hugging her daughter warmly.
"It's better. I've started to walk normally again" said El.
"Did the Levent family treat you well?" Ask Cliff.
"Of course dad, let alone the Levent grandma every day always gives me the food I want" El said.
"Good" said Cliff.
"Oh yeah, how was your business trip? What's fun?" Ask El.
"Any business trip, baby? As far as you know, there are only files and files every hour" said Clau.
"It's also a business trip" Cliff said.
"Oh yeah, are you guys coming to the Sapphire family party?" Ask El.
"Of course, my dear, Shima has been my mom's friend since school" Clau said.
"We're coming, that's why we're coming home from a business trip" Cliff said.
"Yes, now it's better mom and dad just rest so that tomorrow night can be fit to the show" said El.
"But mom has not fittings clothes, anyways dad must also have a suit to go to the event" said Clau.
"Mom take it easy, I'll take care of it. The important thing now is that you rest first" said El.
"Well, we believe in your choice" Cliff said, then pulled his wife into their room.
After Cliff and Clau left, El received a message from Bliss jiga tuxedo that he ordered for Rafael could not be sent because there was a small tear that could not be repaired. If it is, it will make the tuxedo look weird.
"There is only one, even though the event is very close" said El.
He rushed to his boutique to choose the dress and suit that his parents would wear and Rafael's suit as well.
Luckily the road was not jammed so he could get there quickly.
"Miss, please come in" said the clerk at El's boutique.
"Lyn, I want to be looking for a dress for my mom, can you help me?" Ask El.
"Of course, what kind of dress does Madame Meinhard like?" Ask Lyn.
"Simple it, but it looks elegant. And also must match the suit that will be used dad" said El.
"Well, I'll look for some first" Lyn said. El just nodded then he started down the room containing suits and tuxedos for men.
At first, El loved tuxedo. But think back, Rafael very often use it. He also took navy colored vest and pants with the same color. Not to forget also with a white shirt that looks like it will fit in Rafael's body.
"Miss, will this be a match for Madame Meinhard?" Lyn's question showed me a maroon dress.
"It looks like yes, not too crowded with beads either. Okay, please deliver tomorrow yes" pinta El.
"Well miss" said Lyn.
"As you wish, miss. Is there anything I can do to help you with?" Ask Lyn.
"No Lyn, it looks like everything's sorted out. It was getting dark too, I said yes first" said El.
"Yes, my lady, be careful" said Lyn. El nodded then walked out of his boutique which was about to close.
"Will the lady go home?" Ask Jonah the Meinhard family driver.
"I think I'd like to stop by at the front cafe. I haven't eaten Matcha Cake for a long time" El said.
"Alright, we'll go there" said Jonah.
The distance from El boutique to the cafe was not far. Probably only about thirty minutes he had arrived.
El goes into the cafe. This cafe is quite crowded. There are no empty seats near the window. There are only a few in the middle. Inevitably El sat in an empty chair that was in the middle.
The waiter offers a menu. But El only choose matcha cake and juice.
While waiting for El to see the surrounding cafe. Much changed. Last time he came here, there was no top for a hangout.
"Please enjoy" said the cafe waiter.
"Thank you" said El. He ate his matcha cake. It feels the same and does not change. This cafe is quite good at maintaining the taste of almost all of its food.
Not long after, El finished eating. He looked at the clock on his wrist. Time has shown at seven o'clock in the evening.
El immediately went to the cashier and paid for all the food he ate. Then rushed straight to the car.
***
The time has been nine o'clock at night but El has not slept. After returning home from the cafe, he had a short conversation with his mother.
El wakes up from his sleep and walks to the closet. Inside the drawer was an old box that he had kept for several months. He opened the box and took what was inside.
A diamond necklace with sapphire stone that he found in his warehouse.
He rubbed the diamond part.
"It seems, this will be an accessory that matches the dress that I will use later" muttered El.
"Actually, what's behind this stash of diamonds in the warehouse? And a pile of little kid's clothes? What's the connection?" Ask El.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, instead of under the pile of clothes there is a brown map? I have to find him" said El. He rushed out of the room to the warehouse in the back.
The mansion is very quiet. All the workers are resting. El felt quite scared if a mansion of this size was quiet like this.
El stared at the tall door that was in front of him. He pushed the door and went into the barn. He went through several shelves containing piles of files that were not used.
"If it's not wrong, here I find the necklace" said El.
He took apart one by one the stacked clothes. Some are still worth wearing and the rest are very shabby. Most of the clothes are dresses.
"This is it" El said when he found the map he was looking for. El stood walking in a direction whose light was enough to see the contents of the map.
He also opened the map. The first page is just blank paper. He went back to page after page until his eyes read a piece of writing
