Time showed at four in the morning Geo decided to go home to his apartment for a while, before he returned to look for Leana the next day.
Geo got down from the car, the man staggered as he felt his unusually tired body. He opened the door, then he turned on the light and then walked inside and slammed his body on the sofa. Yes, she indeed never returned home to the mansion because she did not want to be bothered by Claudia. If he came home, he would have to answer a question from his wife.
Geo leaned his body back, raising his head upwards with a sad look. "Leana, where are you?" monologue with a clean.
Although feeling a sense of fatigue is extraordinary, but still the name Leana continues to ring in his brain. Leana's shadow will live in agony, crashing into Geo's brain.
In the end, after a long daydream of drowsiness attacked Geo, until the man closed his eyes and then fell asleep.

"Merry, can you tell me if Geo's not staying here, where's he going?" ask Claudia. I think he has lost his patience. He had been waiting for Geo for a month, but Geo was still nowhere to be found. He had also asked his two in-laws who were now in the hospital, but his parents-in-law said they did not know, because Steve and Maudy also did not know where Geo was.
Merry looked silent. It had been countless times that Claudia asked Geo to her, which she obviously did not know either because she was just a servant.
"I don't know, Miss. I really don't know where Mr. Geo is and the places he used to go" Merry replied. It felt like he wanted to leave from Claudia's presence immediately, as Claudia kept asking.
"Does Geo have any close friends who are always invited here other than Leana?" ask Claudia who still did not give up.
"To my knowledge, no. Mr. Geo spent more time with Lea—"
"Here, do not continue anymore," cut Claudia who did not want to hear the name of Leana mentioned, until in the end Merry nodded with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, then I say back" said Merry until Claudia nodded. Claudia immediately turned around then went up into the room. The woman tried to look for clues in her room, who knew Geo had a place or a friend to call.
An hour later, Claudia had already ransacked the entire room. All the parts he had checked, even some files belonging to Geo did not escape the examination. There was nothing there, so it felt like Claudia wanted to go berserk.
Claudia looked at the files scattered below because she had not cleaned them up yet, until she accidentally looked at something among the pile of paper she had just pulled out. He leaned over to pick it up, and it turned out to be a brochure.
'Wait, this doesn't seem like an ordinary brochure.' Claudia sat down while looking at the brochure which was information from an apartment.
"Well, I'm sure she must be here" said Claudia, who is convinced that Geo bought the apartment because the brochure was in her husband's room.
Without delaying any more time, Claudia directly snatched the car keys. The beautiful woman came straight out of the room.
"Merry, please clean up my room" Claudia said as she descended downstairs, so Merry nodded. After that Claudia went out.
Claudia was running her car at full speed. She couldn't wait to get to her husband. Millions of questions came to Claudia. Why did Geo get to go back to that apartment? Why didn't Geo go back to the mansion? What's wrong with her husband? Although Claudia knew Geo was looking for Leana, it felt so strange when she didn't come home at all for a month.
After a long journey, the car driven by Claudia finally reached the basement of the apartment. Claudia rushed down and the woman came straight out of the basement, and walked towards the lobby to ask about Geo.
"Is there anything we can help you with, miss?" ask the receptionist when Claudia is already in front of the reception desk.
"I wanted to ask Alexander Geovanni's apartment unit" Claudia said.
"A moment" said the receptionist, who is now fiddling with the computer, until after that, she looked back at Claudia.
"Sorry what relationship are you with Mr Geo?" ask receptionist.
Claudia squealing. "Is that important?" claudia asked in a hostile tone, not accepting.
"Of course it is important, because this apartment is an apartment that has a very strict security system. So, please can you tell me who you are, and do you need to meet Mr Geo?" ask the receptionist firmly.
"I'm his wife" replied Claudia.
Claudia looked down and fiddled with her phone and then she showed me a photo, which was their marriage certificate issued by the civil records where they were married. The receptionist took Claudia's phone, then looked at it closely.
Because the evidence brought by Claudia was convincing, the receptionist finally told her where Geo's apartment unit was located.
Now, this is where Claudia is, in front of her husband's apartment. He could not have pushed the bell because Geo would have been angry, so in the end Claudia chose to press the password. When he pressed the password, he did so by second-guessing the password that Geo used.
Five minutes later, all the codes had already been entered by Claudia, from her second birthday in-laws to Geo's birthday, but none of them had managed to help her open the door, until Claudia soon thought of something. 'No, he can't possibly use that code, ' Claudia's inner self.
For some reason, Claudia has a feeling of the code used on the door of Geo's apartment using Leana's birthday. Claudia rubbed a rough face. In the end, he gave up. The beautiful woman reached into the bag, then took the phone and fiddled with it and found out the date Leana was born through a blog written by Leana.
Caudia was able to see detailed information about the woman, so that Claudia immediately pressed the combination of the date of the month and the year Leana was born. Claudia closed her eyes with a broken heart as it turned out that the combination she had just done was successful. Geo made Liana's birthday his apartment code.
Before long, Claudia woke up. No, it's not the time he thought about this. The woman held the doorknob and then turned it around, then went inside.
"Geo," call Claudia. He believes Geo is inside, because there's a pair of shoes on the doorstep.
It did not sound right from Geo, until Claudia chose to walk deeper, and before long Claudia stopped her steps when she saw who was lying on the sofa which of course was Geo, her husband.
Claudia grimaced as she looked at Geo's extremely chaotic look, even though she was asleep, Claudia could see that Geo looked thinner than before.
An hour later, Geo woke up and he opened his eyes. The handsome man was holding his head which felt throbbing pain. He saw a clock on the wall. Geo's eyes were rounded when he saw the time showing at nine in the morning. Supposedly, he had woken up earlier and was looking for Leana.
When Geo was about to get up, suddenly a strange voice sounded like a person washing dishes, until Geo immediately got up from his seat and looked to and fro. Again Geo was surprised when his apartment was very neat, but yesterday the apartment was very messy.
Fear suddenly looms over Geo, until the man decides to go to the kitchen.
While walking Geo did it by settling down because Geo was afraid it wasn't his family, and before long Geo stopped his steps when he saw who was washing the dishes, it turned out to be Claudia.
"Cla-Claudia," called Geo in a stark manner. Looking at Claudia, a sudden sense of shame came upon her, and as usual Claudia just smiled.
"Oh, it turns out that you're awake" Claudia said with a broken heart, but she kept forcing her smile.
"Do you know where I'm from?" geo asked, looking at Leana in wonder.
"Oh about that, I know from Mommy and Daddy," said Claudia who lied. He couldn't possibly say that he found out in Geo's room.
"You take Geo, I'll make you breakfast" Claudia said. It looks like Claudia has to thicken her patience stock, because if she sulks, then Geo will be further away.
Geo felt fixated when he saw Claudia's expression that looked resigned, but he turned around and walked towards the room to refresh his body.
Claudia rubbed her chest that felt tight. "It's okay Claudia, it's okay. Sooner or later he will be yours" he said to encourage himself, although he was also unsure of what was said.
After that, Claudia turned around to resume her activities that were washing dishes, and after this she also intended to cook for Geo breakfast.

Water from the shower soaked Geo's body until Geo raised his head up. It felt, she was so lazy to face Claudia because surely Claudia would ask about why during this month she had not come home, and it felt impossible for him to say that the reason behind it was because he was really looking for Leana.
Finally, the shower is over. Geo came out of the bathroom then the man walked into the walk-in closet. He wears a neat suit, because even if there's Claudia, he has to keep looking for Leana.
While at the door, Geo sighed and then exhaled. He tried to turn the brain explained to Claudia, until Geo finally opened the room door and then walked.
Apparently, Claudia had already cooked for him breakfast. Claudia smiled when she saw her husband then she nodded. Geo pulled up the chair then he sat himself down, then looked at the breakfast in front of him.
Claudia smiled faintly. After that, Geo immediately stored food into the dish, and it turned out that the taste of Claudia's cuisine was very good.
Silence, no one spoke. Claudia and Geo both fell silent and in the end, the breakfast was over.
"Claudia," call Geo for permission.
"I'm fine, Geo. Find Leana to see you" replied Claudia.
Geo's eyes were rounded upon hearing Claudia's words. He looked at Claudia confusedly mixed in surprise. Yes, in the end Claudia takes this path, pretending to support Geo in search of Leana. He plans to take Geo in slowly, because if he protests with what Geo is doing, Geo will move further away.
It's okay Claudia endured the pain, most importantly Geo won't stay away from her like a month ago.
"You're serious?" geo asked because he had thought Claudia would be inflamed or protesting, but it turned out that his wife gave a smile that Geo did not know, it was a smile full of wounds.
"Go away I'm fine" said Claudia. Breath was seen from Geo's face. Geo smiled at his wife and perhaps for the first time during the marriage, this was the warm smile that was given to him.
"Thank you, Claudia," Geo said sincerely.
Claudia nodded. "Go, but I can, right, I'll stay here with you later?" ask Claudia.
"But if you mind ...."
"No, it's okay. You can come back here" Geo said again. The man got up from his seat then walked over with a smile as he felt Claudia supporting him, and just as the door closed, Claudia lowered her head. His shoulders trembled and before long, there was the sound of a whimpering cry from the woman. He who was still at the dining table was only able to let out his tears. She's a wife who was forced to accept her husband loves another woman, but Claudia never regretted anything. From the beginning, she loves Geo and she will still wait for Geo to turn to love her even if she does not know when it happened.

Aaron looked out of his study. A smile unceasingly flashed on the man's lips and adorned his handsome face. Aaron's days now feel more colorful because he lives with Leana. He seemed to find his new life spirit, like someone was waiting for him to come home.
Aaron went into the room, and it turned out that Leana was watching television until Leana who realized his existence immediately turned her head.
"Some, are you hungry?" asked Aaron softly.
Suddenly Leana was silent. Although he had agreed that Aaron would think of him as Melisa, but still Leana felt strange about this. However, inevitably Leana accepted it and smiled to cover her pain, so Leana nodded.
"I'm hungry, let's have dinner. The chef has made you the food you like" said Aaron softly. The man held out his hand until Leana received Aaron's helping hand, and after that they came out of the room and walked towards the dining table.
"Gee!" Leana was amazed by her sparkling eyes when she saw the food in front of her, the food that was in her request, and it turned out that the chef really granted her wish.
"Let's go, baby" said Aaron until Leana nodded.
