My Wild Rose's

SWIMMING MATCH

Sometime before James sent a message to Cladia, when Ornado woke up from his sleep, the first thing Ornado was looking for was the whereabouts of Cladia, but he saw the bed next to her was empty, but his eyes soon caught a piece of paper on the pillow that Cladia had left behind, Ornado's right hand immediately grabbed it.

Morning Al, I went to breakfast with the others, if you feel your jet lag has not improved, you better call room service to deliver your breakfast to the room. If you need medicine, I leave my bag on the nightstand, I bring some medicine that you might need, you can take it there.

There were no romantic or personal words written on the paper, but to Ornado, it was as if he had just received a love letter from Cladia, making him smile with a blush just by reading the message on that piece of paper.

Quickly after reading the letter Ornado grabbed the phone on his left nightstand, pressing James's number.

“Hallo, where are you? Since yesterday I had trouble contacting you, so I gave you today's event info via email yesterday, what's the matter? Today you are back in Indonesia right?” As soon as he saw who called him James immediately received the call and immediately rained down on Ornado with many questions. Ornado smiled at the long protest from James, if James knew he had been in Indonesia even since last night he was staying at the same hotel with them James would be even more excited, he said, but Ornado decided not to tell James that.

“Acc from Mrs Xanderson is more than enough to represent me right,”

“Hahh, your base!” James hissed, then laughed, really his cousin was no longer there was any hope to be saved from Cladia's grasp.

“James, please arrange a booking for a private pool upstairs in the hotel for today, after breakfast you can spend some time there, give my message to Cladia, have fun, have a good time,” James who walked back towards his team who were waiting for him smiled while looking towards Cladia.

"Ok, I'll sort it out soon," James closed the call on his phone, hurriedly typing a message for Cladia.

Cladia approached the lounge chair near the pool in her casual dress with a blend of bright yellow and red floral fabric, her smooth white face looked more beautiful and shining, and she was very bright, while others have changed their swimsuits, some are even in the pool.

"Mother Cladia, didn't go swimming?" Amalia who had changed into her swimsuit approached Cladia.

"No, you know for yourself I never swam in public places," Amalia smiled, actually this pool can no longer be said to be a public place because it has been booked by Ornado, but Amalia could only smile at Cladia's explanation, however her status was Cladia's assistant, not entitled to much questioning.

"I'll be there first, if you ever need help, you can call me" Cladia smiled at Amalia's words.

"Have a good time, today don't think of me as your boss, just enjoy your vacation, I won't bother you," Amalia smiled as she nodded before turning around to walk towards the pool leaving Cladia.

"Cla" Robi, who was wearing her swimsuits, took a seat to the right of Cladia. Cladia turned her head for a while, but she immediately threw away her face and slightly shifted her sitting position to the left as soon as she saw Robi who was already bare-chested, wearing only her swim trousers.

As usual you always look beautiful, but with your saint clothes today you really look different, look prettier and brighter than usual, Robi said in her heart.

"The atmosphere this morning feels really good for swimming, you're not interested in swimming?" Robi asked with eyes constantly looking at Cladia, unconsciously she slightly swallowed her saliva.

"Sadly, even though from the beginning we all know the swimming pool in this hotel is famous for being nice and clean, so everyone brings their swimsuits, let alone it turns out we were given this private pool facility, which is a private swimming pool, unfortunately if we don't use it," Without getting bored Robi is still looking at the face of Cladia who is still looking forward, it was as if he was observing other team members who had started to enjoy the pool water in front of him.

"Maybe Cladia's mother is not in the mood to swim, don't be forced," Hearing a voice that she knew Cladia immediately turned to her left, his eyes were slightly widened to see who had suddenly stood about 2 meters to his left, wearing his sunglasses while shaking his waist, bare-chested, wearing only his swimsuits, his chest that field and muscular, typical of men who diligently exercise makes Cladia immediately turn her eyes back to the front, making her take a little deep breath, making her take a deep breath, set his sudden heartbeat a little faster than usual.

Ornado approached Cladia and Robi, at first glance Robi looked a little nervous, not expecting it to turn out suddenly the figure of the man was present at that place, even though the last news he heard should be noon his big boss will just travel back to Indonesia.

"Rather than you taking Cladia's mother for a swim, how about we both go swimming?" Cladia was a little stretched, inevitably her eyes looked back at Ornado because she was shocked by the challenge Ornado had just given Robi.

"Ad, you crazy! When did you get back from Italy? How come you're here all of a sudden?" James's right hand immediately embraced Ornado's shoulder, his left hand smacked Ornado's chest softly, James' laughter sounding happy to see Ornado's sudden presence.

"You're really, really surprising, just coming in and looking for trouble, too" James glanced at Robi and Cladia, he wasn't very clear about what just happened, but looking at Ornado's eye gaze towards Robi who was sharp with a hint of killing aura within it there must be something going on between Ornado and Robi.

"There's nothing, I was just taking Robi for a swimming match, I saw this morning she was so excited to swim, after all how long I've never swam, anyway, it seemed like it would take something different to get me excited again," James looked towards Robi who immediately got up from her seat.

"It's with great pleasure Mr. Ornado, an honor for me to have a swimming match with you" James and Cladia were quite surprised by Robi's reply, Cladia looking at James, and James, little gave him a code with his eyes to prevent Robi and Ornado's plans, but James could only shrug his shoulders, because he knew very well from Ornado's sharp eyes to Robi's looks he was really serious and could not be hindered anymore. Cladia could only take a deep breath looking at the attitude of Ornado and Robi that to her was like a child. James immediately released his embrace from Ornado's shoulder.

"Ok, ok, I'll be the judge" James clapped his hands.

"Guys, everyone please come out of the pool, this morning we'll see a swimming match between Robi and Mr. Ornado," All who heard James' screams immediately looked at each other with shocked faces, without having to be ordered a second time they hurriedly came out of the pool, taking a standing position beside the pool.

James stands between Ornado and Robi, his right hand holding Robi's shoulder, while his left hand holds Ornado's shoulder.

"Swimming in freestyle, 2 times back and forth who is the fastest he wins, freestyle, how? Agreed?" Both Robi and Ornado nodded their heads in agreement with the rules James had just delivered. Ornado removed his sunglasses and replaced them with swimming goggles. Cladia could only shake her head slowly, seeing the length of the pool in front of her was approximately 25 m, if they had to go back and forth 2 times meant they had to swim as much as 4 times the length of the pool, in total they had to swim about 100 m, really like the mileage of one of the swimming numbers in the Olympic race alone.

Hah, what are you thinking Al, until you challenge Robi like that, you are like a child, even though you have just traveled a long way, but you have just, don't know if your jet lag has improved yet, Cladia sizzled softly.

"Ok, ready, 1...2..3..yak!" James shouted loudly, Robi and Ornado immediately started their swimming, the rest of the team clapped their hands while shouting both their names to encourage, the team said, cladia was just watching them in a fixed position sitting in her chair without approaching the pool. Although Cladia felt a little annoyed by the actions of the two men, but unconsciously in her little heart Cladia still hopes Ornadolah will win the swimming match.

"Yesss......Mr. Ornado won!" The spectators shouted hysterically welcoming the victory of Ornado. Ornado reached out his hand to shake hands with Robi, however even though he won but he had to admit Robi's unyielding spirit was enough to make him have to work hard, he knows very well the difference in their time is only 2-3 seconds, he let his guard down a little surely Robi can catch up with him. With still gasping for breath Ornado's eyes still wearing his swim goggles glanced towards Cladia who subconsciously cast a smile on her face looking at Ornado's victory, seeing that Ornado immediately took a deep breath, her lips put on a happy smile.

Ornado moved his body up to the lip of the pool, sitting there with his feet still in the pool. Ornado's back to Cladia made Ornado smile with satisfaction and pride at what he had just done without Cladia being able to see him
