Natalia looked at the dinner on the table she had prepared. A bitter smile fell on his lips. It looks like tonight the food is going to be cold again. Slowly he put what he could save from the food back in the refrigerator.

It had been a few days that he decided to try to start over the right way with Luigi and Natalia aware that it had to start with a sincere apology.

With that determination, Natalia said goodbye to her two in-laws, Ialu came to Luigi's apartment. Of course there was no one in the apartment. He came at night. Know that Luigi will be home by night from the hospital.

Natalia had to wait almost two hours at the door, and the man came home and found her sitting leaning against the door of the apartment.

Natalia greeted and was only answered with silence, then when Luigi opened the door, Natalia forced her to sneak in.

It was just the cold look Natalia received. He tried to talk by directly expressing all his regrets.

"I'm here to talk to you .. Please, listen to me, just for a second. I'm sorry .. I'm really sorry I did this to you .. I ...."

Then the man went into his room, and locked the door from the inside. Leaving Natalia without any response.

Natalia smiled bitterly. He looked around and found another room in the apartment. He entered and realized that the room Luigi made as a work room as well as a small library. There was only a table with its partner chair and a sofa in the middle surrounding a square table. Then the bookshelves on the wall, Natalia approached and read the titles on the back of the book. It's all about the medical world. It would be easy to make her sleepy if she started reading the books, Natalia thought with a small smile.

It was there that Natalia put down a small bag containing her clothes. Natalia is pessimistic her efforts will succeed. But he will try his best.

Natalia sleeps every night on that long couch. Wake up every morning ahead of Luigi and make breakfast.

Breakfast is as lucky as dinner ... untouched. Maybe not even glimpsed at all. The man's anger made him very cold. Natalia smiled wryly, realizing because she was it.

It was almost midnight, Luigi finally came home. Natalia waited to hear the man's footsteps enter her room. However, it had been a while, nor did Luigi's voice come in and lock the door as usual.

Natalia took off the blanket and got up, she put on her bedroom slippers and stepped out.

The view in the living room made him cringe. Luigi was lying on a long sofa in the living room with his head on a cushion of chairs. One hand dangled and his feet were still wearing shoes. Natalia approached, looked up and realized her husband had fallen asleep.

Slowly Natalia began to open Luigi's shoes one by one, as well as her socks. Then he took the doctor's coat that the man had placed on the table. He'll send her to the laundry tomorrow morning.

After cleaning the man's shoes, Natalia returned with a blanket. He put it on Luigi's sleeping body. A soft snore rang out from the direction of Luigi's throat as he pulled the blanket up to the man's chest.

Natalia smiled a little. "I just found out you were snoring" she whispered softly. Suddenly Luigi moved to tilt his body. Natalia jumped back quickly, her heart pounding.

After a while, then Natalia again breathed a sigh of relief. Luigi stayed asleep. It seems like the man is very tired. Every day he occupied himself with work.

Natalia stepped silently after glancing once more at Luigi's face. If only the man would say something ... Natalia took a deep breath .. well .. at least until now she was not expelled or has not been expelled.

Natalia went back into the study and laid herself on the sofa. He was grateful that the big sofa felt soft, at least he could sleep comfortably, then he stroked his own stomach, and then he stroked his own,

And thank you, dear .. You continue to grow without making it difficult for mom with various complaints. We'll survive .. won't we? Your father deserves to be fought for.

Catalina prepared herself to convey the decision she took during the return trip. Claude came and picked her up at Serge's apartment, then took her back to Bernard's Mansion.

They arrived after the night was already very late, the mansion was already very quiet, everyone was probably already asleep.

"Rest Catty" said Claude, clutching Catalina's shoulder and pulling her closer, then a kiss landed on her hair.

"mrs ... Claude's? Can I talk to you about something?" ask Catalina.

"Of course .. Where are we talking?" Claude looked around and then pulled Catalina towards the outdoor terrace that led to the pool. He raises an eyebrow when he finds Joanna, Simon and Vincent sitting around a round table with a chessboard stretched out in the middle.

"You guys are here .. I thought you were asleep" Claude said. Then pull up a chair, approach and sit next to Vincent. He then told Catalina to sit in the middle between herself and Simon.

Joanna who was sitting between Simon and Vincent looked at Catalina after the girl sat down.

"How is he doing?" ask Yoana.

"She looked calm .. I came home after she had a good night's sleep."

"Good .. I hope Marylin recovers quickly," added Yoana.

Simon listened carefully to the news about Mary, then went back to running the chess piece. He smiled at Vincent.

"You're old, Vincent!" simon said grinning.

"You learned a lot, little boy!" reply Vincent.

"I have a good teacher. I've already beaten Uncle Hamilton!"

Claude and Yoana smiled hearing the proud tone in Simon's voice.

After a while, Catalina finally made a sound. Because Claude seemed to have forgotten that he had brought her here because he wanted to talk about something.

"With you all here, I want to say something" Catalina said.

"Oh, right. You said you wanted to talk. What's up, Cat?" ask Claude.

Catalina looked towards Claude and started talking.

"I saw Mary had gone through a terrible thing. So far he hasn't told me. Because of that ... I asked permission from you guys to move in and live with Mary."

Silence welcomed Catalina's remarks.

"I know ... I'm under Leonard's parenting agreement. Only you know the time limit I have to spend here to get Leonard used to his father's family. Wasn't the agreement until Joanna felt Leon had adjusted to Bernard's family. I only ask for time during the day. So I'm here by day, and I'm with Marylin by night. He had trouble sleeping, every night he surrounded his body with pillows. Serge says it's been a long time since he's been raped. To me it doesn't look good, like a trauma that hasn't disappeared completely ...."

Catalina explained at length, unaware of Claude's hardened jaw and staring intently at him.

"So all this time ... is just that you're positioning yourself? You just work here? Then what about my feelings? I told you!"

Catalina was surprised by the high tone Claude used. He turned his head, then glued to see the angry and disappointed glint in the man's eyes.

"That's ...." Catalina gulps.

"Ehem! I want to go to the toilet, I'm sorry." Simon got up and left. Then Vincent stood up and then walked over while waving his hand.

"I'm thirsty! I'm gonna grab a drink!" Vincent.

Catalina squeezed both her hands. It would be even more difficult to face Claude without the other Bernard family present.

Claude narrowed and looked sharply at Catalina. Anger still gleamed in the incandescence of his two eyes.

"My jaw! Am I just your boss!"

"Ti .. no! Of course not. You're Leon's uncle, Daddy Claude to Leon, " Catalina said.

"And you're just a nanny for Leon!?"

"No. I'm her aunt. Also Mommy for him ...."

"So indirectly, we are a family with the presence of Leonard! Why do you think we've been working so hard to find Marylin up to those damn mountains*n! Because she's Leon's mother! You're his mother too! "

Catalina quickly reached out and clasped Claude's hands together.

"I'm sorry ....My words are wrong, let me do it right this time. How's it?" Catalina gave her best smile. Both of his hands tightly clasped Claude's palms. Instantly the glint of anger that had stopped in Claude's eyes changed with a different twinkle. It's like waiting and wanting to know what Catalina is going to do.

"I asked your permission to take care of my brother. I want to be close to him. Want to know him more deeply. Like you're close and know how Joanna and Simon are. Even Vincent ...," said Catalina.

"That's all?" claude asked, not satisfied.

"How else do you want?" ask Catalina wonder.

Claude stood up, then stretched his body with a squirm.

"Then the answer is no!" then he turned around and stepped away from Catalina.

"Claude!" call Catty.

Claude stopped, but did not look. Make Catalina stand up and come to him. The girl stood in front of Claude then looked up at him.

"I beg ... Mary needs me" said Catalina.

Claude shook his head, looked at Catty with a flat face, then he was shocked as Catalina advanced, holding her chest and on her tiptoes. The girl kissed her lips, a sweet kiss that made her blood suddenly heat up.

Claude didn't let the kiss end. Catalina had just taken off her lips when Claude hugged her waist and kissed the girl again. This time it was not just a kiss, a kiss with a pagutan as well as a tongue dance, making his blood immediately bubble.

Catalina felt dizzy as the kiss ended, a small laugh coming out of Claude's lips.

"Pull your breath Catty ...." He stroked Catty's moist lips with his fingertips.

"I love you, Cat. Your legs are healed .. I want us to get married!"

"Married? Ummm .. can it be postponed until Mary is completely healthy?"

Catalina's question made Claude smile widely.

"Thank you, Catalina Seymor! You just agreed to marry me!"

Catalina regained her senses and then looked down embarrassed. Claude raised the chin of the girl.

"Say! You love me too, Catty ...."

Catalina stared at Claude's sparkling eyespots looking at him. He knows the answer for sure.

"Yes, Claude .. I love you ...."

Claude lifted Catalina and turned her around until the girl shouted.

"Claude! Put me down ...." Laughter accompanied that scream. Catalina rested her arms on Claude's shoulders. They spun a few times until it finally stopped and shared a laugh with hunting breaths. They only looked at it for a few moments. Until Claude finally made his voice.

"Come on Catty .. take a rest." Claude took Catalina off and told her to come in.

"What about Mary?"

"All right, but the time is changed! The day you go there, the night you sleep here! Leon needs you too. Anyway .... noon I won't lose you too much because I have to go to work. But if it's night, I'll miss the moment when you fill your drinking water pitcher at night. Leon's also more fussy at night."

Catalina sneered at Claude's words about the pitcher.

"But Mary had trouble sleeping at night. I want to accompany her!"

"He's been through it a long time, Cat. The pillows helped him. Make this arrangement first. Don't separate Leon from you at night. He'll be restless, no one's singing for him."

Catalina. "You're right. Looks like I'll have to teach Joanna to sing as well to put Leon to bed."

Claude. "You can try it, Cat," he said amusedly.

"Now go to sleep."

Catalina nodded, she stepped away, then turned once again towards Claude.

"One more, Claude. We'll only get married if Mary's condition is back to normal" he said.

Claude looked at the back of Catalina who disappeared into the mansion.

"I'll arrange that, dear Catty," whispered Claude with a wide smile.
