My Wild Rose's

ATTENDING A PARTY WITH YOU

"I assume I've never heard what you just said," Ornado looked at Cladia's face with a gentle smile, Cladia still staring at Ornado's face with a sad look, her neck felt so dry, she said, he was no longer able to make a sound to answer Ornado's words.

"Only I can protect you, never question that strange thing again, even just think about it never, because at any time, wherever you try to go away from me, with all my might I would run towards you, I would keep you by my side," Cladia lowered her face, Ornado walked away from Cladia towards the exit, just a few steps Ornado stopped, back to turning back the body looked towards Cladia who was still silent in place.

Ah, how can I show you how much I love you, how much I love you, no matter what you say, what you do, I will still love you, Ornado said inwardly with his eyes observing the still-dreaming Cladia with a blank look. Finally Ornado took a deep breath before letting out his voice again.

"Cla, what are you waiting for? It's time we go home, get ready for Om Setiawan's child's engagement party tonight," Cladia flinched slightly, regained her senses from her daydream and hurried to pick up her bag and walk after Ornado.

Cladia, who had finished dressing up, walked down the stairs from her room, stopping her steps when she saw Ornado, who was neatly dressed in her suit in the same color as the dress she was wearing that day, standing with his hands folded, his back slightly looked out the large window in the living room. Not knowing what the man was thinking, Cladia said in her heart, her mind was back to the incident that happened this afternoon at the office, briefly his eyes narrowed slightly to see Ornado's posture from the side which was buffeted by the afternoon sun that pierced through the living room window, making Ornado's body look a little dazzling.

Truly a handsome man, with his dark-black hair neatly combed, his tall and athletic body, the, his blue eyes that often look at him gently even though sometimes in certain moments it feels domineering, his nose is sharp and his thin lips are often filled with a smile to tease him.

Admittedly, you really are a man who can bring many women to their knees before you, no wonder a girl as beautiful and popular as Amadea is trying to get your attention, Cladia whispered inwardly, then take a deep breath. Ornado, the real man was his, but he felt he had no strength to reach the man, it was as if there was a big door between them and Cladia did not know if it would one day be able to open and unite them.

Feeling that someone was watching him, Ornado moved his body to the side, his eyes directly towards the stairs. Ornado looked at Cladia who was wearing her boutique party dress with an enchanted look. With thin makeup on her face, her long hair was neatly spaced out, decorated with hair ornaments in the form of a rose flower arrangement filled with jewels, and she was, around her neck is the same necklace Cladia wore on their wedding day, making Cladia look perfect with her beautiful face. It was truly a sight that made it difficult for Ornado to blink his eyes.

Beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever met, until whenever you keep me fascinated, and keep my heart pounding, Ornado whispered in his heart, smiled gently and walked over to Cladia who was still silent standing in the middle of the stairs.

"Don't be too charmed, your husband is too handsome not to amaze you," Cladia glared at Ornado's teasing words, Ornado chuckled at Cladia's bonus for a shot.

"The dress suits you very well Cla, it seems you have to shop there often," Cladia blushed a little at Ornado's praise.

"Come on, papa's waiting for us in the car," Without a word Ornado walked up to his car followed by Cladia.

“Welcome Mr. Alberto, Mr. Ornado and Mrs Cladia,” Two people seemed to rush to welcome the arrival of Ornado and Cladia who came along with Alberto. As soon as he saw who had come, the host immediately approached the three of them.

“Welcome,” Om Setiawan Budiman as the host immediately greeted Ornado and Alberto, briefly then the eyes of Om Setiawan looked towards Cladia.

“Welcome madam, nice to meet you,” Cladia who is standing to the right of Ornado was silent for a moment when Om Setiawan pointed his right hand at her to greet her, Ornado intended to speak to distract Om Setiawan, but suddenly Cladia's hand reached out to welcome Om Setiawan's hand, shaking it at a glance and immediately pulling it back, he said, while unbeknownst to others Cladia's left hand squeezed Ornado's suit tightly, to help him control himself so as not to rebuff Om Setiawan's hand violently.

“Ah, we will meet other guests first Om, maybe Om need to chat with papa who has not met for a long time,” Ornado immediately distract Om Setiawan who immediately nodded. Ornado with Cladia immediately walked in the other direction away from Om Setiawan, while Alberto was still busy talking with Om Setiawan.

“Are you okay Cla?” Ornado whispered softly in Cladia's ear which immediately gasped in shock and released her hand from Ornado's suit.

“Sorry, sorry Al, I accidentally,” Ornado smiled gently.

“It's okay, as long as it can help you,” With both hands stuffed into his pants pocket Ornado looked at Cladia deeply.

"Thank you Cla," Cladia looked at Ornado with a clueless look.

"I know what you've just done to keep me as your husband from being humiliated by the talk of my strange wife." Cladia averted her eyes from Ornado's face without commenting.

Al, you are like a person who can read my mind, Cladia said inwardly and immediately took her eyes off Ornado's face, to remove her awkwardness.

"But Cla, then you don't have to force yourself if you don't feel comfortable. I don't care what anyone says about you, for the most important thing is that you're happy, I'll protect you, no matter what you do." Cladia slightly raised her head without looking at Ornado, her eyes looking up, desperately trying to keep her tears from falling, ornado was with all his might holding back so that his hand would not move to pull Cladia in his arms.

May I hope that you start caring for me? Ornado whispered softly in his heart.

"How are you, Cla, just a few days without seeing you, it feels like it's been months," Without waiting for a response from Cladia, Jeremy immediately walked up to Cladia and hugged her tightly.

"How are you, brother, where is Niela? Not coming?" Cladia was grateful that Jeremy was at least able to distract her, making her slightly forget about the incident that just happened, while Jeremy slightly shrugged his shoulders hearing a question from Cladia.

"She should have accompanied me, but today she wasn't feeling well, so I forced her not to come, Actually she was eager to see you, but I said tomorrow he could stop by your house if he wanted to see you, "Jeremy turned his eyes to Ornado.

"What about Cladia's performance in your office? Is satisfying?" Ornado laughed at Ornado's question.

"Outdoor office hours, it is forbidden to talk about work, but as information only, whatever your beloved sister does is quite satisfying, it is not a loss that you promote it as your best HR," Jeremy laughed at Ornado's reply.

"So Mr Jeremy, when can I take back my rights to your best HR? Don't forget, now he's got Xanderson's name behind him, so he's actually Xanderson Group's, "Ornado said, hugging Jeremy's shoulder, and Ornado's words made Jeremy laugh more, cladia glared at the two men, feeling that they were being perceived as things that could be moved.

"Just ask the question, when does he want to claim his rights in the Xanderson Group, lest he not want to move there because the CEO there often oppress him?" Cladia quickly pinched Jeremy's waist which continued to tease him.

"Au, sick, it's been Cla, geez," Jeremy took Cladia's hand off her waist while still laughing, enjoying being able to tease his sister after a few days they hadn't met.

"Ok, I'll meet Om Setiawan and the others" Jeremy patted Ornado on the shoulder and stepped away from Cladia and Ornado.

"It is better that we sit there and enjoy the dishes" Ornado pointed to an empty, round table to the south of which they stood. Cladia immediately nodded, apparently going to the party as Ornado Xanderson's wife was really tiring, having to serve greetings and smiles of many people, he said, either it was completely sincere for her or because of her position as Mrs Xanderson.

"Wait for me here, I'll go to the toilet for a bit," After Ornado pulled out a chair and let Cladia sit down, she immediately walked towards the toilet, Cladia who was holding the glass in her right hand was slowly enjoying her drink, until suddenly there was someone sitting next to her greeting.

"Miss night, can I join you at this table?" A young man with his friend in neat clothes, smiled at him, pulled up the chair next to him, preparing to sit there.

"I'm sorry, that chair already has one," Cladia said softly, the young man who greeted her looked at her with a smiling face.

Al, where are you now? Quickly come here, Cladia said in her heart as her right hand placed her glass on the table, her left hand started squeezing her dress.

"We've just come, lady, and we haven't seen anyone with you since, yet" Jeremy, who happened to turn to Cladia, immediately stopped his conversation with his interlocutor and walked towards Cladia.

Suddenly Cladia sensed someone was putting something on her back and shoulders from behind her, Cladia looked back to see who had done that just now.

"Good night, do you know my wife? Can we help you?" Ornado who had just put his suit on Cladia's shoulder to cover Cladia's back and shoulders smiled looking at the two men. Jeremy, who had been standing just a short distance away, smiled and immediately turned back to join the others, canceling his intention to approach Cladia.

"Ah, Mr Xanderson, is this lady Mr Xanderson's wife? Sorry we misrecognized others," Ornado nodded with one hand holding the back of the chair Cladia was sitting on, and one hand stuffed into her trousers, it was as if declaring to the two men that the woman sitting on the chair was under his protection.

"It's too cold, too much wind, we better find somewhere else" Ornado bowed slightly, whispering in Cladia's ear which was immediately greeted with a nod. Cladia immediately got up from her seat, walking to the side of Ornado.

"Sorry my wife can't stand the night wind, we'll move somewhere else." Without waiting for an answer from the two strangers Ornado and Cladia walked away.

"Oooo, yes Mr. Ornado, please," With a slight stutter the two men saluted, letting Ornado and Cladia leave the table, even though Ornado and Cladia had already turned their bodies around and stayed away from the table.

"Thank you Al" Cladia said softly, Ornado fixed the position of his suit on Cladia's shoulder by trying without touching Cladia.

"I'm sorry, I left you alone for too long" Cladia shook her head slowly, somehow Ornado's suit that stuck to her body that night made her heart feel warm.
