Embrace Love's
CH 79'S. Love rays

Catalina arrives in front of a building called Love Rays, a home that is used as an orphanage. His eyes sparkled, shining brightly with longing, then the front door opened and the rows of children who had stood neatly began to sing guided by Sister Tina.

Catalina laughed happily, as the group of children began to surround her while clapping. Claude who was holding the girl smiled looking at the happiness that was emanating from the girl's face. He notes in his heart, one more to his list, what makes Catalina happy.

"Oh my God, Catalina. We all miss you." Sister Rebecca came over and reached out, clasping with Catalina.

"We'd better get in, or the Master holding you will start to have trouble." Sister Rebecca looked at Claude, then looked at Catalina's half-covered foot in her dress skirt.

"Hello sister Rebecca. You must miss Leon." Joanna greeted and brought Leon closer.

"Yes my. You're a big boy, Leon baby." Sister Rebecca stroked Leon's plump cheeks with teary eyes.

"It's been a year .. I'm glad you and your Mommy are okay, Leon. I was worried because Catalina never called. Just sending money with no news at all" Rebecca said.

"Money?" Catalina will only ask for an explanation when Claude starts walking and takes her in. Joanna and Leonard followed. Sister Rebecca directed the children to enter the hall.

The room that was not too big was full of children. Their age is diverse, children who are small immediately whine, ask for pieces of birthday cake and also a variety of foods that have been provided there.

The small event was quickly held. Leonard who finished having fun with the little boys finally got tired and fell asleep. The music, the sound of balloons breaking, the singing and the game go on. Catalina is quite satisfied just by watching, his desire to come to play must he hold because his legs that he can not move too extreme.

His fractured right leg had fused together and was allowed to retrain his strength. His broken left leg was also moved. With a crutches, he sometimes trains to walk on his right foot. But not daring to overload his newly healed right leg from cracking, Catalina chose to use a wheelchair.

Joanna looked at Claude who was sitting next to her, remembering to ask about the money Sister Rebecca had received on her behalf.

"The money that Sister Rebecca is referring to .. Did you send it?"

Claude turned his head, looking at Catalina with growing affection. To think that the girl had this much kindness for someone else. All the children here knew her, here Catalina spent more time volunteering, all starting from childhood, along with her mother who was still alive.

"Yoana sent it. When he kidnapped you, he came here and met Sister Rebecca. They can communicate. Joanna sent the donation in your name."

"Yes my. Why?"

"Replace yourself who is always here for them. We hope the money is useful to them."

"Of course it would be very useful for this parlor, Claude. Thank ye. You shouldn't have to."

"Your salary was collected in a special account for you, as you wished when we signed the agreement to look after Leon. I hope you won't leave .. immediately answer my question about keeping me company until the end. Tell me how you feel Catty ...."

Claude looked at Catalina with a sparkling gaze, knowing that he was putting the girl to shame and starting to flutter.

"It ... it ...."

"Stop flirting with Claude Bernard! Anyway if he answers 'yes' now. The wedding will not take place anytime soon. I don't want a spectacular wedding dress that my designer will put on in a wheelchair, or use with a crutches!" Joanna knocked on her sister's head.

"Yoan .. The wedding can be done later. But tell him to answer first" insisted Claude.

"Don't do it, Lina! Once you answer, he'll kiss you and hug you in front of the kids! You just imagine later, they'll glare ...."

Catalina laughs. "He'll kiss me if I say yes, Yoan. What if I say no?"

"Then get home from here, I'll get you married. Won't wait for your feet to heal" Claude replied.

Catalina's laughter instantly stopped, she pursed her lips. Yoana grunting. "I believe he would do that, Lina. You can't go anywhere, Miss Seymor."

The arrival of Sister Rebecca and several children diverted the conversation.

Catalina spent the rest of the visit on a bench in the park next to the home. In the distance he sees Claude back with Joanna. They flank sister Rebecca who was walking in the middle, looking excited to explain something.

"The "land behind is still quite wide. We intend to add a building so that the children have decent and unfrozen rooms. But until now still have to be patient ...," said Sister Rebecca by hand pointing to the land she intended.

"Catalina bequeathed some money from her late mother. The girl intends to help build an additional new building in the back. Creating her mother's dream. He saved up and raised donations for this parlor."

"Then she accepted working at Eliza Hospital .. she was still sending money here," Sister Rebecca stared gently at the girl sitting on the park bench in the distance.

"Why did he use his money for the home? Doesn't he need money too?"

"I asked him once. He said his needs were met. He doesn't need luxury, he needs happiness. And being in this parlor makes him happy. I think it's because he's been living alone since his mother died. His relationship with his brother was not very good. So he's happy to have a lot of younger siblings that he has to take care of here." Sister Rebecca ended her explanation. Then a child called, took Sister Rebecca in and said something about the spilled water.

"I'll excuse you first" he said. Yoana and Claude smiled.

"Leon is asleep. Shouldn't we go home?" ask Yoana.

"I guess so. We'll be ready soon." Claude looked back at the parlour, the land that was meant to be made an additional building by Sister Rebecca.

"You think ... if that extra building is built from now on, will it be finished when Catalina's leg heals and can walk perfectly?"

"Why? His bone doctor said that within four months of the operation Catalina was expected to have completely healed. It will take a long time if the affected is the femur, especially if the fracture is open, it may take up to six months. Why why?" Joanna looked up at Claude.

"What new building Catalina dreamed of would be a surprise when used as a wedding gift? I don't think the girl will be impressed with diamonds, fancy cars or things like that ...." Claude looked at his brother who was smiling.

"Now this time I heard an incredible shocking idea from you, Claude. Not only was it a surprise. You're gonna make your beautiful Catty love you even more and love you, too" she said.

Claude smiled broadly. "So you'll take care of the wedding right," he said happily.

"of course. It will be interesting, unique and spectacular, after all,"

"Don't overdo it, Yoan. I don't want Catty to feel uncomfortable at her own wedding. I just want to get married quickly. Don't make it hard with weird and troublesome things."

"That's none of your business! The first time there's a wedding in the Bernard family, between the three of us, it's gonna be the headlines for weeks at least!" Then Joanna sauntered, leaving Claude who was patting on the forehead hearing her brother's words.
