My Wild Rose's
BARBEQUE PARTY
That afternoon Cladia's face was bright with her hair tied on top and her fine, cream-colored clothes, matching the color of the ribbon tied around her hair, the graceful impression that existed on Cladia increasingly prominent. Cladia stands near Aunt Ema with 2 maids and a man who is a cook at her house who is busy preparing a barbeque party tonight. Alberto and Ornado seemed to be chatting casually in a chair on the edge of the garden behind their house while occasionally looking at the busy looking Aunt Ema and Cladia.
"In front of him papa will not interfere anymore with Ola and Yati's affairs, all papa entrust you if something happens," Ornado, who was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, smiled, nodding to his father.
"What you give them is more than enough. Home and place of business cafe, I myself will not necessarily be as generous as it was for the two of them, which since the beginning we met, they always make trouble," Ornado said as his eyes looked straight ahead, watching Cladia who was busy helping Aunt Ema, enjoying every movement of Cladia's body that to him looked absolutely beautiful.
"Tomorrow Amadea will go to Bali, papa will go there, it feels like papa has not been there for a long time, since your mama died, too many places with memories in this country left by your mama, including on the island of Bali. Are you really not interested in accompanying us on vacation there?"
"Since Cladia and I got married, there's no vacation spot I'd want to go to if Cladia didn't. Lately Cladia's been needing a lot of rest." Alberto directed his eyes at his son-in-law who was wiping the sweat on his face with a tissue.
"Is there a problem with Cladia's health?" Alberto frowned, however, Ola's words about Cladia's secret slightly disturbed his mind.
"No, but some time ago he had a chance to experience somnabulism, Laurel suggested he needs to set his sleep schedule well and also the comfort of his sleep," Alberto took a deep breath with a smile.
"Your relationship always reminds me of your mama, it's a pity that we were only a couple for a moment. I hope you guys have a long time not like us" Ornado turned his head for a moment, looking at the face of his papa who had shown a lot of wrinkles but still looked handsome, looks of longing in the eyes of his father when telling about his mother.
"Have you ever thought about getting married again?" Alberto laughed at Ornado's spontaneous questioning.
"There has never been another woman who could make my heart shake other than your mama, how could I marry another woman? Don't delude Ad. Besides I was more afraid of my son's protest when he heard I was planning to remarry," Alberto's words were immediately greeted with laughter from Ornado.
"What matters is that papa is happy" Ornado said sincerely.
"Rather than you think it's better to immediately give me a grandchild so that I have a new rush of caring for my grandson," Ornado's laughter immediately stopped hearing his father's words, changing with a smile on his lips.
"Cladia is still young, still 21 years old, but I don't think there's any reason for you to put off having children, let alone your age is now 27 years old per yesterday. According to papa, Cladia's a good woman, she's firm but kind, she's gonna be a great mom to your kids," Ornado took a deep breath with a smile still on his thin lips. Her desire to have a child with Cladia is much greater than anyone else.
"Children's problem, let God give it when it's time to give it," Alberto patted Ornado on the shoulder hearing Ornado's thoughtful reply.
"As long as you keep trying," Alberto laughed and stood up to welcome James and Amadea who had just appeared, leaving Ornado who was slightly thinking as his eyes still stared at Cladia. At first glance Cladia's happy laugh was when Jeremy who had just come with Niela suddenly put a grain of wine in her mouth. Ornado smiled, too happy to see Cladia's cheerful laughter, but as soon as Ornado remembered Cladia's kiss last night at Ornado's birthday party immediately averted her eyes, she said, her hand touched her chest which suddenly thumped hard at the thought of last night when Cladia kissed her lips at her birthday party. Lately because of the progress of their relationship seems increasingly difficult for Ornado to be able to hold his passion when he saw the figure of Cladia. Ornado took a deep breath and let out through his lips to try to make himself calm before he finally had to join the others.
Instead of eating the roasted meat and chicken satay that Niela and Auntie Ema burned, cladia enjoyed the fruits and cakes at the table next to Ornado and Alberto.
"I'm sorry.., I'm going to the toilet, you guys continue to have dinner without me, I'm going to rest for a while," Cladia hurriedly stood up with her right palm still in her mouth closed position, saying, his left hand put away the chair he had been made to sit and walk quickly without giving the other a chance to answer his words. Ornado immediately got up to his feet, preparing to catch up with Cladia, but before he caught up with Cladia the words of his papa were enough to make him pause for a while in shock.
"Al, it looks like I'll soon hear about papa's granddaughter" Ornado, who had been directing her body, prepares to chase Cladia back to turn her body toward her papa.
"What does papa mean?" Seeing Ornado's confused face, Alberto simply smiled.
"Papa's not a doctor, not necessarily what you're going to say is true, but from Cladia's pale face and the symptoms she just showed, it looks like you're going to be a papa soon," This time Ornado's eyes were completely blown away in shock. Some time ago he did have time to wonder why Cladia's appetite changed a little, he said, try to stay away from fish-based cooking and prefer meat or chicken that is arguably not too fishy smell and consume lots of vegetables and fruits even those that tend to be acidic, his face also sometimes looks a bit paler than usual.
"Papa was also once the husband of a woman who had been pregnant as well, a little papa there is experience in that," Ornado looked at his papa's face filled with a happy smile as if what he had expected was impossible to miss. Jeremy and Niela looked at each other at the words of Alberto Xanderson, and unconsciously a happy smile popped from their lips.
"Your husband does not know that there are changes in your wife's body? Try to take him to the doctor to make sure," Ornado slightly shifted his gaze to hear a teasing question from his papa. James and Amadea smiled amusedly at the blushing face of Ornado due to Alberto's temptation.
Is that possible? We only do it once, unless it's really the peak of your fertile days. Could it be that what papa said really happened? Ornado wondered inwardly with a face between bewilderment and disbelief. The gentle touch of Aunt Ema's hand made Ornado slightly flinch.
"Following Cladia, look how she's doing, if she's okay, you don't have to continue eating tonight, just accompany her so she gets enough rest," Without waiting to be ordered twice by Aunt Ema, Ornado immediately ran into the house in a hurry and directly climbed the stairs to get to his room.
When Ornado entered his room he saw Cladia sitting on the bed looking at the television. Although Cladia's eyes were directed at the television screen, Ornado could see that Cladia was daydreaming, her eyes not really enjoying the broadcast that was on the television in front of her.
Ornado walked slowly toward the bed, pulled up the chair and placed it near the position Cladia was resting on. Cladia slightly gasped at Ornado who had just come and took a sitting position by her bedside.
"Are you okay amore mio?" Cladia smiled and slightly confirmed her sitting position on the bed while pulling the blanket to cover her body. Ornado's eyes glimpsed at Cladia's body, especially Cladia's stomach covered by a blanket up to her chest.
"Why did you leave your dinner?" Cladia did not answer Ornado's question, instead asking to divert the conversation.
Are you really pregnant? If that's true, it's the best birthday present I've ever received in my life other than your being by my side, Ornado whispered softly in his heart, it felt like at this moment he really wanted to pull the body of the woman in front of him to his chest, hug him tightly, kiss his forehead, his cheeks, his lips, even his entire body. Ornado's eyes that looked at Cladia gently glazed over a bit, she really wanted to touch Cladia's stomach, trying to feel her little baby's life there. Before Cladia saw him, Ornado hurriedly turned his eyes to the side for a while, pretending to look at the lighted television in a soft voice while trying to control his emotions to hold back his happy tears.
"I'm full, are you okay?" Ornado repeated his question again, causing Cladia to turn her gaze from the television to the face of Ornado who was trying to suppress her emotions because of her feelings of embarrassment, thinking that right now the woman before him was, the one she loved so much was carrying their little baby inside her body.
"I'm also quite full, too" Ornado smiled at Cladia's response, who kept trying to avoid answering questions about her health condition, making Ornado even more suspicious of the truth of her papa analysis, moreover, seeing the nervous attitude that Cladia showed as Cladia caught a wet look Ornado's eyes were fixed towards her stomach.
"How long ago did your face look pale. I just want to make sure you're okay. I'd better call Laurel now," Cladia was a little jolted at Ornado's words, standing up, walking away from the bed and with her right hand opening the phone screen. Cladia's right hand quickly grabbed Ornado's left hand, making Ornado spontaneously stop his steps in shock, because instead of just reaching for his left hand, Cladia's right hand was currently holding his left hand, with a pretty tight grip......
