Destiny of the Substitute Bride
36. Best Decision of the Time.
The atmosphere inside the apartment was still very quiet, as Noah got down from his room. If usually, Bella has been busy with home improvement activities, this time it is not so.
Never mind getting better, the nose of the girl is not visible. Noah scrunched his forehead. In her heart, she thought that Bella deliberately went to work early in the morning to avoid her.
Not wanting to think about it, Noah went back upstairs to get ready to go to the office.
Noah's estimate was wrong. Because, when the man came to the cafeteria for lunch, he did not find the figure of Bella anywhere.
"Bella said he didn't enter without explanation, sir." Celine, who had just returned from the pantry, immediately told Noah. The man did ask the secretary to go ask Bella whereabouts. He didn't care if the canteen would gossip about the two of them again.
Hearing Celine's reply, Noah suddenly had no appetite. His head was frantically thinking where Bella was and what made her disappear like this? However, Noah suddenly gasps when he realizes the reason Bella left.
Noah stood up while pounding the table, so the canteen visitors were surprised. Without saying anything, he left the cafeteria.
...**********...
Bella stared at the large building before her with pushy eyes. A million yearnings were present surrounding the girl, as her childhood memories began to guerrillaize her head.
After thinking all night, Bella finally decided to calm down by moving away from Noah. While the only place that came to mind for Bella right now, it was only the orphanage where her parents left the girl.
Nothing has changed from the orphanage, other than just the new-looking wall paint. He could also see some children playing in the yard.
Bella stepped awkwardly towards the parlor and opened the fence.
Seeing the arrival of foreigners, some children the age of toddler rushed away, while some other children whose age was larger approached Bella to ask her needs.
"Is Madame Caroline around?" ask Bella kindly.
"There's." Reply to one of the children who was about ten years old. "Sister wants to see Madame? Let us take you," another child continued.
"Arabella's sister?"
Bella. As Bella recalled, since long ago only one person called her full name like that.
"Beatrice!" exclaim Bella. The two then hugged tightly to release the longing.
"God, we haven't seen each other in a long time!" beatrice exclaimed after they let go of each other's embrace.
Beatrice is a child in Bella's ward. He and two other children who are also known Bella, apparently devoted themselves to taking care of the orphanage, despite having each other's lives.
"Madame is out with Callista. Now he spends more time in a wheelchair" replied Beatrice, as Bella asked the owner.
Bella looked at Beatrice with a guilty look. "I'm sorry I never came here again" he said. He can't even remember the last time he visited.
"It's okay, brother," replied Beatrice understandably. However, the girl's eyes were suddenly fixed on one large suitcase Bella was carrying. "What's up, brother? I heard you're married?" ask the woman.
"I can't tell you now, and I don't know where else to go."
Finding Bella's eyes wet, Beatrice clasped her hands. "Liar however, this house is your home. You're free to come and go, brother."
"Thank you" said Bella Lirih.
"It just so happens that there's an empty room here, you can wear it."
Bella once again looked at Beatrice with gratitude. The woman did not urge Bella at all for the story. He even kindly invited Bella to stay for whatever time there was.
Not to forget, after driving Bella to the guest room, Beatrice also introduced herself to the twenty children of the orphanage that was there.
