"Yoan .. I must have looked terrible huh? Oh, I want to look beautiful on this important day, Yoan." Catalina repeatedly stroked the fine silk material in her organza white dress with silk waving around her waist.
"Awaits Catalina. Let them work and stop worrying." Yoana nodded her head towards a hairdresser who showed a wig to Joanna.
Catalina sat in the middle of her room without a mirror she wanted to see. After coming home from the hospital. He was left to sleep all afternoon, and then tonight, three women came to his room with Joanna and told her the shocking news that he was getting married. Catalina was then dressed in a white dress that was now fitted to her body. A woman chooses a wig, and after getting Yoana's approval, she starts putting it on Catalina's head and styling it beautifully. The hair color was almost the same as Catalina's original golden brown hair.
The hair was styled in waves of pretty waves on Catalia's back, then the left and right sides were slightly pulled in the middle, joined by a flick of sparkling pearls. The last touch, a bridal veil with transparent lace material is paired to the top of the girl's head. The left and right ends of the veil were beside her plain shoulder. Catalina's wedding dress is twinned on the chest, following the shape of the body up to the waist before expanding in the skirt to the limit of the ankles in a fine silk strand that waves when she steps. There were no other decorations on the dress other than the rows of sparkling pearls surrounding Catalina's waist.
When she was done, Joanna pulled Catalina into a large mirror. The shades of white he wore made Catalina's blue eyes more visible.
"You look so beautiful, miss," said one of the women who had dressed her.
"She's the most dazzling bride I've ever seen. Without many accents, this dress makes it look elegant, elegant ...."
Catalina seemed to be blushing happy to hear the compliments of the women who dressed her up. However, she wanted to look beautiful and charming when she came down to marry Claude in the chapel at the Bernard Mansion.
"This girl rarely dresses up .. So when a little powder and all the cosmetics touch her face, she is like a goddess who just came down from the sky. Didn't they?" Joanna blinked her eyes at Catalina towards the mirror. Catalina smiled, although her nervousness did not diminish, at least she felt confident about her appearance.
The knock on the door made one of the women who had dressed Catalina immediately open it. Serge's head appeared, the man looked dashing with his large body wearing a black tuxedo, his hair styled backwards in neat sideline.
"Ah, Sergei. You're so handsome." Catalina smiled in praise.
"Stttt .. don't let your groom hear her, honey. He'll be very upset."
They all laugh.
"You ready?"
Catalina nodded. One of the women approached him and squatted down near his feet.
"Wear this, Miss. Then this handsome man can take you."
Catalina put her foot in the shoe that the woman had given her. Shoes that feel soft and comfortable on his feet with a right that is not too high.
"I hope you won't be too tired later, Lina. You can't do too much activity. But Claude insisted ...." Yoana touched Elbow Catalina and looked at her with a worried look.
"Don't worry Yoan. I'm doing fine. I feel excited."
"alright. We got off first. Serge ... take care of him. Take it to my sister down there. He must be impatient."
Serge and Yoana's laughter rang out as they imagined Claude who was definitely waiting down there. Claude says his plan is to get married soon after his Catty is discharged from the hospital. The delay in their marriage due to the actions of Tania Sweyn and the life of Catalina who almost died made Claude immediately want to tie the girl and make her immediately by his side.
"You nervous?" ask Serge.
"Little."
"Should we wait a minute?"
Catalina. "No. No Serge ... I'm ready."
"alright. Come on," said Serge, smiling with a soothing smile. " You are so beautiful ... Claude's lucky, "praise Serge while providing his elbow for Catalina's sidecar.
The two went down the stairs and stepped slowly towards the chapel. Claude was already standing before a priest who was about to marry them off. Nearby are Mary, Alric and Annete. Then there was Vincent, Simon, Hamilton and Leonard in Lea's Nanny's sling, Leon looked fascinated at his Mommy who came in a white dress, he reached out in a cradle, Lea immediately whispered, persuaded Leon with a soft and quiet voice. Only their families were present. Claude purposely so that there is no need for a long ceremony and the need to meet the guests after the wedding. Catty needed to rest again soon after they got married.
Claude's eyes could not be seen from the approaching Catalina. The flash of their first meeting flashed through Claude's mind. She is grateful that her brother kidnapped the girl in the past, allowing her to finally meet Catalina.
Serge handed Catalina to Claude, then he turned around, stepping towards Marylin who was standing next to Alric. Marylin's outstretched hand which was immediately greeted by Serge. Marylin pulled Serge to stand next to her. Flanked by two much-loved and beloved men, also a mother-in-law who also stands nearby, witnesses the marriage of a very happy-looking sister. Makes Marylin's heart feel full. Her tears involuntarily flowed with eyes staring towards Catalina's wedding process. The two men made a promise, binding themselves to each other to love each other. Marylin's isakan is heard loudly, when Catalina and Claude are declared husband and wife. Alric stretched out next to his arm, hugged his wife's shoulder and pulled her into a hug. He didn't say anything. Just kissed Marylin's head on top with a lot of affection. Serge and Annete glanced and smiled. Serge moved closer to Marylin. Whispering slowly towards the woman.
"You're so whiny now, Mary. More beautiful than Leonard. Leon just clapped his hands," Serge said with a smile.
On the other side near there, the sobbing is not just heard from Marylin. Joanna and Leah cried too. Yoana who sounded the loudest of his stuffing. Seeing her sister kissing her bride makes Joanna cry happily. Claude had worked very hard for the Bernard family after their parents died. Joanna thought her sister would never marry. She was grateful that Catalina's presence changed Claude's thinking.
"Don't cry, Mi Pequeno ....." Vincent whispered softly.
"Yes. You're a crybaby ..." led Simon.
"You know how else .. I think this is the effect of hormones. I've been so moved and crying lately. I think it's because of the baby ...."
Yoana's voice was very slow. But it was heard clearly by Simon and Vincent as well. The two men stood stiff in surprise.
"God .. You're so good at choosing time, sister. Your husband is speechless ...."
Yoana did not reply, only breaking away from Vincent's embrace, then turned to face Catalina and Claude who were now smiling happily. Claude smiled broadly, looking satisfied and relieved to be married, while his bride looked blushed with lips slightly swollen from being kissed for too long. Joanna smiled and hugged Catalina, leaving Vincent still trying to calm her outburst of surprise.
A pat on the shoulder resuscitated Vincent, the man was only able to move a moment later. Hamilton was already standing beside him with a big smile.
"Congratulations, Vincent. You're a father-to-be now. Get used to it."
"Oh, I'm glad Leon will have a cousin soon. I hope it's a boy. So there will appear two people who will make this Mansion very noisy."
Simon smiled broadly at Vincent who was just looking at him with no intention of responding.
"I hope you've also finally found a girl who can make you look at her like Claude was staring at his bride, Simon." Hamilton said it as if he were praying.
Simon smiled broadly. " I'm not interested, Uncle. I don't need to get into the girls' trap."
Vincent finally makes a sound." There's gonna be a time, where you're gonna happily get into that trap, boy."
Afterwards, Vincent welcomes Claude who comes to him. The two men hugged. But Vincent's eyes can not be separated from the tiny figure of his wife who looked back at him with a blushing face.
The two families share the joy. Keep each of them all the memories and moments of the night in their hearts. The warmth of affection and the great outpouring of love between them.
Claude approached Catalina after hugging one after another their entire family members.
"Come here, Catty."
Catalina approached, entering in the arms of her husband.
"You okay?"
Catalina nodded. But Claude saw a sweat dot on his wife's lips and temples. He stared at all the waiting members of their family and looked back at the couple.
"Sorry everyone. Catty should get back to the room immediately. He's sweating ...."
"Ac ... I'm fine."
Claude shook his head while bowing, then lifted the bride in his carry.
"Don't think of us. Go get him back upstairs, Claude. We'll stay here and do the celebration." Joanna smiled at her sister.
Claude nodded, then stepped away from his family. Bringing her newly recovered bride to the room in order to get back to rest.
As he stepped along the hallway to his room, Claude brought his lips closer to Catalina's ears leaning against his shoulder with both arms hanging from Claude's neck.
"I want to say it again, Catty ... I love you, my wife," he whispered wholeheartedly.
