My Wild Rose's

MEET OLD FRIENDS

When she opened her eyes that morning what Cladia saw first was the bed beside her that was empty, her eyes surrounded the room but the figure of Ornado was nowhere to be seen around. Cladia looked back at the bed beside her, the bedding was still neat, not showing the presence of someone who slept there last night. Cladia got up from her sleep, sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes glancing towards the nightstand on her right. There is a tray that is neatly closed with a serving hood, Cladia opens it, there is a meat toast, fresh fruit pieces and warm milk, seen, cladia hurriedly closed the food back because she suddenly felt nausea in her stomach.

Cladia hurriedly headed towards the bathroom with a slight run. Being too rushed he almost hit Ornado who had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom.

"Sorry," Without caring about Ornado's astonished face Cladia went into the bathroom and immediately closed the bathroom door.

"Cla, what's wrong with you?" Ornado knocked on the bathroom door, Cladia who was standing in front of the sink and had just spewed out a little liquid from her stomach immediately turned her head towards the door.

"Sorry Al, I'm going to take a shower first" Ornado stopped a knock on the bathroom door.

"Ok," Ornado walked away from the bathroom door, walked towards the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, his hands moving open the serving hood on the nightstand, he saw that what was there was still intact as before.

Why was Cladia in a hurry this morning to the bathroom? Is he coming this month? Maybe that was also what made him less fit yesterday. Ornado said inwardly as his hand closed the newly opened hood of Saji.

When Cladia was finished from her bath she saw Ornado sitting in front of the window of the hotel room showing a view of the open swimming pool on the ground floor. Ornado sat with his legs crossed with his hands holding a cell phone, typing something. As soon as he heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened Ornado turned his head, turning his gaze towards Cladia who had finished from her bath.

Cladia's face looks fresh after the bath, with no make up on her face, Cladia's white skin manages to accentuate her natural beauty charm, making Ornado slightly fluttering to get a view of his wife's beautiful face. Ornado got up from his seat, walked up to Cladia and placed his phone on the nightstand.

"How are you doing this morning, Cla?" Ornado looked at Cladia's gentle face while enjoying the beauty of her face that morning.

"It's better than yesterday." Ornado smiled, his eyes glancing towards the food Cladia had not touched.

"How about you fill your stomach first, this morning I've asked the room service to prepare breakfast for you," Cladia walked towards the nightstand where there was breakfast that she had seen earlier, sit on the edge of the bed and open the hood and take a glass filled with warm milk that has begun to cool.

"Do I need a new warm milk?" Ornado walked up to Cladia, taking a sitting position beside Cladia with a distance that was not too close.

"no need. Al, if I can this morning I want to go back home, tomorrow I still have to go to your office say goodbye officially, Tuesday I will go back to Sanjaya's office. This afternoon I want to rest at home." Ornado looked at Cladia's face, still looking a little pale, there was no reason for her to force Cladia to stay here, but in her condition she would not want to have fun with the rest of the team, moreover, there was still James who could handle the event today.

"Okay, we're home this morning, but finish your breakfast first, and after we get home we call dr. Renata to check on your health, "Hearing Ornado Cladia's words immediately turned towards Ornado. Personally last night he called dr. Renata is to meet this afternoon, but of course for the time being Cladia doesn't want Ornado to know the results of her health checkup if it's true the results were as she thought yesterday in the bathroom.

When Cladia called dr. Renata yesterday, dr. Renata tells her that for this month she is not in Indonesia, she has asked her cousin, dr. Laurel Tanputra to replace her position while becoming a doctor of the Sanjaya family. I honestly heard the name dr. Laurel Tanputra, Cladia is thrilled. Cladia is no stranger to the name, if it is true they are the same person, the beautiful girl used to be her neighbor. After his father died and his family went bankrupt, the doctor who was once considered an older brother by Cladia (due to his 4-year age difference over Cladia) moved with his mother to the suburbs, where he was born, since then he has never heard from her again. It feels that besides her wanting to consult her health, Cladia can't wait to meet with dr. Laurel Tanputra wants to see if the doctor is the same person who used to be her neighbor.

"I've contacted dr. Renata last night, while he's not in Indonesia, his cousin, dr. Laurel will replace him," Ornado looked at Cladia, twitching his brows slightly.

"Laurels? Laurel Tanputra?" Cladia glanced at Ornado, her face wondering how Ornado could recognize the name, seeing Cladia's glance, Ornado chuckled.

"Of course I know her, if it's true that it's the same Laurel, isn't she your neighbor? When we were kids every time I played to your house you used to play with Laurel, right?" Cladia smiled, she just remembered that Ornado's childhood was often spent playing with her, surely she also knew Laurel who also often played to her home. Even when Ornado searches for Cladia and doesn't find her at home, she'll go get Cladia at Laurel's house.

"If indeed he is the same Laurel we know first, it seems better in the future he becomes your doctor, so you can feel more comfortable, he said, as I recall, your relationship was really close. Other than me back in your childhood he was your closest friend" Ornado grabbed a glass of empty milk from Cladia's hand and put it back on the tray.

Besides Laurel, I hope your memories of our childhood can be vividly recalled, Ornado said in his heart, his eyes glancing at Cladia who looked a little dreamy.

"Have you had breakfast?" Cladia tried to shift their conversation, Ornado shrugged her shoulders slowly while slightly wrinkling her forehead.

"I can eat anything, don't worry, I've asked room service to deliver bread for my breakfast, and I've had a glass of fresh milk. Whenever you're ready we go" Cladia nodded, she grabbed a piece of fresh fruit, she ate half of it, after which she began to tidy up her clothes and other belongings, stuffing them in a suitcase.

Once finished tidying up all his belongings, room service which some time before had been called Ornado immediately helped bring the luggage of Ornado and Cladia. When walking through the living room of the hotel room Cladia had a glance towards the sofa. There were pillows and blankets with a messy position, it was clear that last night there had just been someone sleeping there. Cladia slightly took a deep breath, briefly glancing at Ornado who was walking beside her while enjoying the bread in her hand.

You've done a lot for me Al, I don't know how I can repay you, Cladia whispered in her heart, her right hand holding her chest, there was a bit of pain in her heart, but he hurriedly let go of his hand, not wanting Ornado to see his actions just now.

"Mrs, dr. Laurel's here, "A waiter immediately told Cladia as soon as Laurel arrived, Cladia who was in the Ornado's study re-examining the jewelry designs that would be displayed on her notebook screen raised her face.

"Did Doctor Laurel come alone?"

"No Madam, he was with a man, it didn't seem like he was here, like a bule, blue-eyed man like Mr. Ornado, handsome Madam," Cladia smiled at the servant's explanation, moreover, looking at the red hue on the cheeks of his servant when saying handsome man, it really looks that the newly mentioned man made his servant fascinated.

Ah, it turns out so yes.., many people consider men like the Ornado and similar races handsome, Cladia said in her heart, saying, although actually from the beginning of their meeting after 15 years ago Cladia had to admit that Ornado was really handsome, even more handsome than the artist. While still smiling at his servant's behavior just now, Cladia closed her notebook and got up to her feet.

"Where is Mr Ornado?"

"Master is in the gym lady's room, it seems to be working out," Cladia nodded.

"Serve warm drinks, cakes and fruit for dr. Laurel and her friend," The waiter immediately nodded and left his master's study.

When Cladia opens the door to the gym, he saw Ornado who wore a type of dobok taekwondo and (a taekwondo uniform for black belt) was doing the movement of dwi huryeo chagi (kick rotating through the back) with his left leg then connected with the movement of dwi hurigi (twisting kick with the target head) with his right foot using a samsak hanging in the northern part of the gym room as his training target.

For a moment Cladia gasped at the taekwondo movement that Ornado was doing. He had previously seen Jeremy wearing a taekwondo dobok and practicing with a samsak at home, but when he saw Ornado, he was, with a height of more than 180 cm and his athletic body shape and dashing to do taekwondonya movement technique makes the man really look charming and managed to make the new movement he did look so it's beautiful to see. Cladia has to admit that the man is really charming.

Hearing the sound of the door opening the gym and Ornado's footsteps instantly stopped his training and turned his back, seeing who had come without knocking on the door. As soon as he saw the figure of Cladia he immediately smiled, grabbed a towel that he had placed on the treadmill to dry the sweat droplets that soaked his face and hair. Ornado walked up to Cladia while adjusting his breath which sounded a little hunting due to the training just now.

"Dr Laurel has already come," To control his suddenly thumping heart Cladia immediately spoke as she turned her gaze away from the alluring looking Ornado with her taekwondon double, Ornado slightly furrowed her brows.

"He's really the Laurel we know?" Cladia shook her head softly at Ornado's question.

"I haven't seen him yet, said the waiter he brought the male friend, we should meet them together," Cladia hurriedly turned her body towards the exit of the gym room, but before his hand reached the doorknob Ornado had moved faster to open the door for him.

"Come, we'll meet them" Ornado placed the towel into the hangers inside the gym before he caught Cladia out of the room.

When Cladia and Ornado who were still wearing their doubles entered the living room they saw a beautiful woman with an acutely asymmetrical haircut (the front haircut is longer than the back haircut) and a man with dark brown hair was observing the cellphone in the girl's hand with a cheerful smile on their faces.

Upon hearing the approaching footsteps, the two guests immediately stopped their activities and both got up from their seats. Seeing the face of Cladia the girl named Laurel immediately scattered, closed her mouth both hands, unable to hide the pleasure mixed with her shock.

"Cladia? You're Cladia, right? Cladia Sanjaya Jeremy Sanjaya's sister?" Seeing Cladia nod her head in agreement, without waiting any longer Laurel walked quickly towards Cladia and immediately hugged her, kissing Cladia's cheek, she said, no matter to Ornado and the man with him looked at their actions while smiling with a slightly amused look.

"Laurel, I really miss you, where have you been all this time? Why don't you ever send word?" Cladia returned Laurel's embrace tightly.

"You're getting pretty. How long have we been apart? Maybe 7-8 years. I'm so glad to see you again. Only 6 months ago I returned to Indonesia, sorry I haven't had time to look for you, because there are many things that have happened," Laurel said as she let go of her embrace and glanced at the man who came with her, the man only smiled while slightly shrugging his shoulders.

"Actually after returning to Indonesia I returned to my old house, but when visiting your house info from a neighbor 5 years ago you and Jeremy have moved from that house," Cladia nodded, due to events 5 years ago to reduce Cladia's trauma, Jeremy decides to move out of their old house that was not far from Laurel's old house.

Cladia looked at the man, handsome as her servant had said, from his face Cladia could guess that the man was not far from Ornado, perhaps 1-2 years above Ornado, his posture is almost the same as Ornado, tall, sharp-nosed, blue-eyed like Ornado, but his hair is dark brown, and Cladia knows the waiter was quite impressed with the face of his guest today. In this country the faces characteristic of Europe or America which is often called "bule" seems to still make people in the Asian region amazed, as for him alone because his papa company has many clients from abroad since childhood he was used to meet with Caucasian faces. Cladia smiled slightly amusedly thinking that.

"Come on, sit down, I heard from Renata your condition is not healthy," Laurel pulled Cladia's hand gently to take her towards the sofa. After Cladia sat down, Laurel sat down next to the man she was with, facing Cladia. As soon as Ornado was sitting next to Cladia, Laurel suddenly suffocated a little, only to be reminded of the whereabouts of Ornado.

"Ad, Ornado, hahh, how are you? It's been a long time, you've been getting good-looking," Laurel laughed at the smiling Ornado as she brandished her two thumbs up without returning a compliment from Laurel in words.

"Ehem..." The man beside Laurel nudged his right arm to Laurel's left arm, Laurel turned to the man with a smile.

"Sori......" Laurel clenched her palms together covering her slightly giggling mouth.

"You didn't introduce him to us?" Ornado smiled amusedly at the misbehaved Laurel getting a sharp glare from the man beside her after praising her good looks.

"Ah, I almost forgot, Dave, as I told you before, this is Cladia Sanjaya and Ornado Xanderson. Meet Dave Alexander Shaw, my husband," Laurel mentioned the words "my husband" in a soft voice while showing the ring finger of her right hand wrapped around a ring, Ornado and Cladia immediately smiled at Laurel's explanation. The Laurel they see today is still like Laurel 15 years ago, a smiley and cheerful girl, maybe that's the biggest reason Dave fell in love with Laurel.

"You're married? When did you get married? It's a pity that I don't know the news, otherwise I can be your companion" Cladia smiled.

"Actually I was married 7 years ago" Cladia and Ornado shared, 7 years ago, meaning Laurel was 18. Cladia was stupefied, after graduating from college she was required to marry Ornado, while because of her academic ability Cladia only spent 5 years in Elementary and college in just 3.5 years, while she was still in high school, when she married Ornado, she was 21. Even though he was too young to get married, Laurel was even crazier, getting married at 18? Seriously? In the present age? Seeing Cladia's shocked face, Laurel giggled.

"We were married 7 years ago, but because there was one and another complicated thing, we just met 6 months ago and had a wedding reception last month,"

"Huh?" Cladia is increasingly confused by the explanation Laurel, married 7 years ago, but only met 6 months ago, just celebrated the recipe 1 month ago, what kind of marriage is it? Really complicated story.

"Already, not enough time all day to tell your story, next time you can tell it again," Dave grabbed Laurel's shoulder in his arms, trying to gently warn Laurel. From his dialect Cladia can estimate that the man must have lived in Indonesia for a long time, much longer than Ornado.

"Ok, ok, next time I'll tell you. Ah, I'm so happy, you're finally getting married. Since childhood when we play house-housing Ornado always asked to be a groom's bride is Cla. Finally your dream came true also Ad," Laurel smiled, from her face looks very satisfied to see now Ornado and Cladia are really married. Cladia was slightly misbehaved with Laurel's words just now, while Ornado remained as usual looking calm with a smile on her face.

"Sorry, what is your relationship with Mr. Augistin Shaw?" Suddenly Ornado remembered something, hearing the question Dave laughed.

"Mr Xanderson turns out his memory is very sharp, he's my papa," Dave smiled looking at Ornado.

"O, it's appropriate, greetings to Mr. Augistin Shaw if you meet him, just call me Ad or Ornado," Ornado smiled, Augistin Shawn, of course Ornado remembered the name, one of Ireland's largest pharmaceutical business owners, it is also one of the largest suppliers of chemical raw materials to the Xanderson Group-owned manufacturing company.

"Well, represent him greetings also to Mr. Alberto Xanderson," Ornado nodded in agreement. Cladia and Laurel look at each other, it turns out the world is so narrow, unexpectedly it turns out that both parents Ornado and Dave already know each other even have a business relationship that seems to have been long and close.

"Ah, I forgot my original purpose of coming here, come on, where can I start checking you out Cla?" As she had just woken up from her sleep, Cladia was a little jolted and aware about the intention of Laurel's arrival.

"We go to the guest room," Cladia stood up followed by Laurel who immediately carried a bag containing medical equipment to follow Cladia to the guest room downstairs.
