DOCTOR STRANGE

I'll process the adoption, it will take around a week. You can tell me the address of your residence here. I will send someone to inspect the place. And after the process of adoption is approved you can take him home. It will be easier for him to adjust if you are near this place. You can bring him back if he had any problem. He will adjust with you while the immigration process is being done. You can bring him here sometimes so he won't miss this place. What do you think?"

"I think what you said is actually a better plan. What do you think John?"

"I agree with it."

"Okay, then I'll contact you once the process is done."

"Yeah sure." John shook hands with her.

"Ms. Yamazaki, we have bought some gifts with us I hope you can pass them on to the kids. Hope they'll like it." I said give the package to her.

"That is all back from school, you can give it to them. They'll like the gift." She said.

"Will that be good?" I asked her.

"Yes, of course, they like it whenever someone came to meet them. And they are familiar with you both. They feel loved when someone gives something to them. They treasure it." She told us.

It must be really hard to grow up without parents. To live in a place where they find themselves living an unwanted life. How hard it must be for them. Even imagining it is unbearable.

She took us to the kids. They were all. Doing their homework. Ms. Yamazaki helped us getting their attention. She told us to give them what we brought. Kids looked excited when they saw us. When she told them that we came to meet them.

We have presents for the kids. They surely liked them. They looked delighted. They all had a big toothy smile on their faces.

We stayed with the kids for a bit more time. But we left when they were going to have their dinner. We saw Ren one more time before coming back. He was awake and smiling. He looked at us smiling.

We came back. Reema was also back from her work. We chatted about the day and had our dinner.

When we were back in our room. John came to me to talk about something.

"Mary, I don't think we should disturb Reema. I think we should move-in to a hotel. We were going to go visit some places here. So kept her hanging. Our trip is stretched and I will have to manage work from here. Okay, I saw a hotel today. It is near the orphanage. We can book it and move in there." He said seriously.

"Actually I was thinking about the same issue. I'll talk to her about this. Okay." I assured John. "Can we sleep now, I have some plans for tomorrow," I said.

"What plans?" He asked.

"I'll tell you tomorrow. Now sleep."

"Sweet dreams", he said.

"You too".

"Good morning sunshine, breakfast is ready, your husband went to a convenience store nearby and I have to rush to the hospital. So I will see you later. Bye." Reema said. She was all ready for work. And seemed to be in a hurry.

"Wait, I wanted to tell you something. Actually I and John was thinking that we should move-in to a hotel. John booked a hotel room nearby the orphanage. We can be close to Ren. And we don't want to disturb you any longer." I said to her.

"You think you can disturb me?"

"Our original plan was just to meet you, but we already crashed in your place for three days."

"You are disturbing me, Mary, I am happy that you are here."

"Okay, I promise we will meet you again. In a week. John wanted to go to Tokyo before we get Ren's Custody. We can go to dinner after that."

"Okay, whatever your decision is. It's not like I can change it. You are always stubborn. That's still the same in you."
