L'Amour Vrai
Episode 73: Claudia

Happy reading♡

Since El's departure, Meinhard's residence is not what it used to be. Almost all family members are now more silent and rarely get together.

Claudia went on a hunger strike. Cliff himself was confused about how else he persuaded his wife.

"Dear, eat." Clifford could not bear to see his wife. After El leaves, Claudia is often aloof and daydreaming.

Some of the family members tried to get her to talk but Clau remained silent.

Clifford breathed. "I can't take it anymore. I have to find my daughter's whereabouts."

"Don't be reckless Cliff" said Meinhard.

"But pah, I can't keep going still like this. I'm afraid what's going on with my son and my wife" Cliff said.

"Patience. I'll talk to Claudia" Meinhard said.

Clifford just nodded. Meinhard went from there to where Claudia was.

"Clau," call Meinhard.

Claudia remained silent in her place. He doesn't care about anything. Including people who call him or invite him to talk.

"It's me, your papa." Meinhard sat next to Claudia. It turns out that the departure of her granddaughter could have made everything like this.

Claudia is like an undead. For days he had not eaten. He only drinks water and vitamins.

"I know, you're not going to talk about me. But I'm sure you heard it" Meinhard said.

He also looked up at the night sky. Yes, every day Claudia would just sit on the balcony of her room which leads to the outside. He always hoped that the car that brought his daughter into his yard. That's why he always stays there.

Waiting for something uncertain.

"I know, you're very sick when you find out your son went silent without telling you."

"I know, among all the family members, you're the one who lost El the most, right?"

Claudia also nodded. A drop of tears rolled down his cheek.

"Maybe you forgot it because of your sadness".

"In the video he left, El promised to come back if his business was done. It's been a week, maybe your son hasn't found what he wants so he hasn't come back" Meinhard said, trying to explain to Claudia. However, he could not bear to see the condition of his daughter-in-law like this continue.

"Trust me, sooner or later your child will come back. And please, stop torturing yourself like this. Do you want El to come back later, he sees his mommy like this? Imagine how guilty El is. You know not what he would do if he felt guilty."

"I'm sure you trust your daughter. Rise up Clau, don't keep going like this. Don't you feel sorry for your husband?" Ask Meinhard.

"Sorry papa" said Clau as he sobbed.

"I'm too upset about all this. I was very unhappy with El's sudden departure. Even though I knew he'd be back."

Meinhard nodded. He also stroked Claudia's head. "Patience and get back to work as usual. I promise, if El doesn't come back, I'll find him myself."

Claudia nodded and wiped her tears. She told Meinhard to meet her husband.

This time, Meinhard was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Claudia managed to persuade him. Now he must be able to find El's whereabouts even though later after he finds out, he cannot bring her back. El is entitled to his decision.

Meinhard also entered the house, rather he went straight into his study to contact the people of his man.

As for Claudia, she was already in the arms of her husband. He was crying so it happened. It hurts so much but what can I do.

"Dear, you can get sick" said Clifford.

"You're sick, who's gonna help me find El." Claudia stopped crying. But she still hugged her husband.

"What did papa say?" Ask Cliff.

"Patience."

"That's right. Don't keep hurting yourself, baby, I don't like it. Can we start our activities as usual? I'm sure our son will be back" Claudia said.
