Yesterday the C-C commander came home not too late at night because the meeting was just finished after the perfect sun set was not visible anymore.
Last night Claude invited Claire to stop by a restaurant near the main headquarters for dinner before making the trip home which was confirmed to have a traffic jam like this morning.
Today, sunlight welcomes the newly awakened earth creature from its deep slumber. Claire woke up. He was exhausted yesterday after training to have a meeting with his senior.
"Why did you wake up?" mom asked questions when Claire just came downstairs.
"Sorry mom, I was exhausted yesterday"
"Fatigue? what did you do yesterday?"
"Eh, that, yesterday I was overtime because the company held a new development event"
"Oh..."
Claire thought that lying to her mother would not be a problem. After all, his mother was not a thinker to her roots. He will believe in the words of others especially those who are familiar with him.
Claude promised to take Claire for a walk today. They were relieved of their duties after yesterday being appointed routine training leaders. Today Mr. Matsumoto is leading with his female partner who is also a senior.
They would walk into the city park, the famous restaurant to taste the taste of its cuisine, and for sure they would both go to the city library to borrow some books.
"Good morning son Claude" said Claire's mother who sent Claire to the front of the house.
"Good morning aunt" for this time Claude got off his vehicle. Greet Claire's mother's hand.
"This morning it's so handsome for Claude" praised Claire's mother.
"Thank you, auntie"
"Can I borrow aunt's daughter for a second?"
"Goddess. Why can't it? if necessary, make her your lover" Claire's mother whispered at the end. Heard faintly by Claire.
"Our relationship is limited to coworkers, bi. Then I say yes bi"
Claude opened the car door for Claire. He turned to the car door next to him. Sit in the driver's seat. Claude had opened the car window to say goodbye to Claire's mother.
Not to mention, Claire had already interrogated Claude with a question that sounded more like a threat.
"Claude, what did my mother whisper to you?" Claire looked at Claude in the eye. Killing glare.
"Why are you that curious?" Claude dodged to answer Claire's question.
"Because it must have something to do with me. Aye right? Claude?"
"I-iya yes. Youre right. It has something to do with you"
"I'd guess. So, what did he whisper to you?"
"It's not very important. Your mother just told me to make you my lover. That's it"
Claire looked into Claude's eyes again. Sharper than ever. It was as if there were hundreds of even thousand needles about to kill Claude.
Claire suddenly turned around expression. He put on a sad face. Crying like a five-year-old. Claude didn't really understand Claire's feelings.
"You why?" Claude stroked Claire's upper arm with one hand. The other hand is in control of the car.
"Why did my mom always want me to have a boyfriend? wouldn't it be if I had a career that could boast of a family with a great salary that would be enough?" Claire wiped the end of her waterless eyes.
"Eh, maybe your mom just wants you to get married soon after pursuing a career"
"Why is that? if I want to live single do they force me to get married?"
"Single? that's right. You are their only daughter. If you choose not to marry until adulthood, then who will continue your family? you don't even have a descendant"
"Eitherway. I thought if I chose to live alone forever it wouldn't be a big deal. I'm just, uh traumatized by the selfish nature of men"
Claude smiled. Staring straight at the road that his vehicle was about to pass. He knows there are a lot of guys out there who don't appreciate a woman. Not infrequently women are also treated harshly by men.
But not all men are like that. There is a good heart to uphold the degree of woman. Treats meekly. That is what most women want. It makes women comfortable to have men.
"That's just a few, Claire. Not all men are selfish"
"Yes, I know. It's hard to find an unselfish one"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes. Uh..."
"You're the good guy I've known all along. But you're not the only one. Haran is also a good man, right?"
"Yes"
"I've found him. Wasn't difficult. What I'm looking for is here"
"If you've found what you're looking for, what will you do?"
"Our relationship is enough as a partner. I still don't want to have a lover"
"Alright"
Unknowingly, Claude's car was already parked in the city park. Claire and Claude got off in the car. Just a little sling bag brought by Claire.
They stepped into the park area of the city. The green landscape greeted them. The leaves are cut neatly. The fountain looked calm, its voice sounded like a melody.
Some plants are types of flowers. The smell of fragrant flowers greeted the visitors. There are flowers that have not yet bloomed. There are flowers that are already blooming. Real pretty.
Right in the middle of the city park, there is a five-meter-high fountain designed to resemble a flower petal, in the middle of which the fountain sprays its water. The reach of the fountain is wide. Surrounded by a large pool.
In the pond, colorful fish look beautiful decorate around the fountain.
"Well, it's beautiful" Claire squatted on the outside of the fishpond.
"If not wrong, at night the petals will light up brightly"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes"
"It's a pity we don't come at night"
"It doesn't matter, does it?"
"Ah, then take my picture here"
"Good"
Claire stood up slightly tilting her head to the left. Closed his eyes. One hand holds the other wrist. Not to forget Claire smiled as well. Her smile was as sweet as gulali. Or even sweeter.
Claude took a stylized photo of Claire in front of the flower-designed fountain.
Not long after, the lovers came to them. Allan, Claire's ex-lover along with maybe her new boyfriend.
"Well, the cold girl can smile too" Claire immediately stared at the cynical two lovers who approached her.
"Why whimper? smiling dong. Do I need to tell you how?" Allan smiled broadly. Show off his white teeth.
"Who is she, baby?" the woman standing next to Allan asked.
"Oh. She's my dear ex-boyfriend. I used to chase him after a break up. It turns out she already had another boyfriend"
"Morning by noon bro" Claude came over to three people who looked more like arguing.
"Well, honey. Here is my ex-boyfriend's girlfriend. Good morning too bro" Allan's gaze changed on Claude who had just approached them.
"Well, your relationship is lasting. Congratulations happy. I also met a new lover really" said Allan boasted his new lover.
"Darling, my ex-lover this guy is so cold!. Unlike you, it's warm"
"Hahaha~ could be"
"Can. My ex-lover's the queen of antarctica, you're the lamp"
"See you, queen of antarctica!" Allan and his girlfriend leave Claire and Claude.
Claire was silent. His whole life he didn't want to meet a guy like Allan. Why else would the world bring them together?
Life is shit. Claire has a lot of foul memories with Allan. He didn't even want to see his face anymore. That shitty face. Claire clenched her hand tightly.
"Are you okay, Claire?" Claude who witnessed all of that became sorry for Claire.
"Let's get out of here" Claire tried to speak softly but couldn't because she had been enveloped in anger.
Claude followed Claire to the parking lot. After this, we head to our next destination. Famous restaurants.
