“Al...., “ Hear Cladia calling her name, Ornado who was originally standing with both hands put in his pants pocket and observed Cladia's face which looked puzzled to see the photos of her in this room walking closer to Cladia, who was looking at Cladia, Ornado took a standing position behind Cladia's body, then gently hugged Cladia from behind.
“Why Amore mio? What do you want to ask?” As if he could read Cladia's mind, Ornado immediately asked her exactly what she wanted to know about the photos that filled Ornado's room.
“There are so many photos of me in this room, there are even photos of my childhood, some photos even I feel like I have never taken photos with that pose intentionally, where do you get those photos from?” Ornado slightly held his breath hearing Cladia's question. He knew it would be risky if he told Cladia the truth, which could lead to misunderstanding. But from the beginning he had asked Cladia to believe him, she would answer honestly about whatever Cladia wanted to know about him, even if it was a bad thing.
“Some photos especially your childhood photos I got from Jeremy, while some other photos I got from my men who had been guarding you there,” Cladia widened her eyes to hear Ornado's explanation.
“So, all this time you told people to follow me? Spying on me?” Cladia's tone slightly rose because she was offended by Ornado's actions which had been telling people to follow her, spying on her.
“I'm sorry,” Ornado brought her lips closer to Cladia's ears, sincerely she expressed her guilt because her actions turned out to make Cladia uncomfortable, feeling on the spy, feeling untrustworthy.
“Not that I mean spying on you, I'm just worried about what happened 5 years ago to you, I don't want someone to hurt you again like back then,” Cladia took a deep breath, trying to hold back her emotions, she said, right now his chest was pounding loudly waiting for Ornado to continue his explanation. After all, who would love if his life was so watched, as if he were a criminal, a fugitive.
“I'm sorry, 5 years ago I couldn't be next to you because papa is in critical condition, I can only do what I can to protect you. After papa healed I actually wanted to fly directly to Indonesia, but my condition which at that time had to replace papa in the Xanderson Group suddenly did not allow me to leave Italy to meet you.” Cladia's chest became a little calmer hearing Ornado's explanation, although there was still a little bit of disbelief in her heart knowing for these 5 years Ornado had deliberately sent people to observe her, even steal his picture.
“I love you so much, how can it be quiet to let you experience such a terrible event 5 years ago. If only I could shift the responsibility of the Xanderson Group from my shoulders, I would hand it over, provided I could run to you back then. But all I could do at that time was work hard to achieve success in the shortest time possible so that I could immediately make you my bride, take you to my side so that no one can hurt you again. Just thinking about how you've been away from me for the past 5 years, it's often hard for me to breathe, it's hard for me to be away from you. In my time of waiting, your photos were the greatest consolation for me. At least when I get your photos, I know you're in good shape. I'm sorry if what I did made you feel uncomfortable,” From the tone of voice that Cladia heard when Ornado gave her an explanation, Cladia could hear the sad tone of Ornado's voice not trying to defend herself, and also Cladia could hear that right now Ornado was telling everything honestly.
Unknowingly Cladia's tears trickled down hearing Ornado's explanation, how could she be angry again with a man who loved her so deeply like that, and right now, at this very moment, he is also the only man who makes him know what love is, the man Cladia is now everything in her life.
Cladia's hand moved to touch Ornado's hand that was still hugging her waist and stroking her gently, as a sign Cladia no longer bothered about what Ornado had done for 5 years. Seeing Cladia's reaction, Ornado's right hand gently removed Cladia's hair from her back, pointing all her hair forward, so Ornado could clearly see Cladia's nape. He fondly kissed Cladia's nape with his nose sharpened while closing his eyes, enjoying the smell of his wife's body, letting his body feel his chest that always thumped when he was close to Cladia, realizing that he really loves the woman who is currently in his arms, will not be able to be separated again with Cladia. Imagining it made Ornado's eyes slightly teary, he felt grateful at this moment he was hugging Cladia from behind, so Cladia could not look at her sad-looking face.
“Ti amo Amore mio,” (I love you my love) Ornado said softly with all her feelings, realizing how much she loved Cladia. Even Ornado felt his love for Cladia more and more days become deeper, especially now that there is the fruit of their love in the womb Cladia, especially now there is the fruit of their love in the womb Cladia, even though it was formed, Cladia may not feel the same feeling of love as herself.
“Ti amo Amore mio, ti amo. Sei il grande amore della ma vita,” (I love you my love, I love you. You are the greatest love of my life) Ornado's lips again whispered softly, then kissed back the nape of Cladia with his lips, making his body suddenly feel the heat flowing because it held the turmoil in his chest, making himself slightly gulp down his own saliva, indicating that at this moment he was actually holding back the surge in his body.
When Cladia opened her eyes that morning she saw Ornado's arms curled around her waist, hugging her from behind, in a sleeping position. Cladia slowly turned around without releasing herself from the arms of Ornado's left arm, so that Cladia's body became face to face with Ornado's body. Cladia looked at the face of Ornado who seemed to still enjoy her sleep soundly. Smiling, Cladia observed the handsome face of her husband, as her hands slightly stroked his stomach.
If you were born as a boy, you wish you could inherit the beauty of your father's face like none of this. Ornado Xanderson, though perhaps my love is nothing compared to the magnitude of your love for me all this time, but you are the only man I love for now and forever. Cladia said in her heart, her right arm moving around Ornado's waist, her lips moving towards Ornado's cheek and preparing to kiss Ornado's cheek, until Ornado suddenly moved her head, making Cladia's lips instead of kissing Ornado's cheeks but landing right on Ornado's lips. Cladia who immediately gasped in shock with reflexes moved to move away from Ornado's body, but Ornado's quick but gentle left arm that was still hugging Cladia's waist moved to pull Cladia's body back closer to her body, and without waiting any longer, his lips immediately kissed Cladia's lips in a sleeping position and hugged each other.
Cladia immediately took a deep breath as soon as Ornado released her lips. Ornado immediately smiled looking at the red hue on Cladia's face, as it was a while before Ornado stopped her kiss, she said, Ornado could sense that Cladia's recent kiss to him had suddenly turned into a passionate kiss like never before.
“Your face today is adorable,” Hear Ornado's words Cladia's face turns red.
“Don't tease me Al,” Ornado laughed without intending to move from the position of those hugging each other on the bed.
“I tease you? Who was the first to flirt by trying to secretly steal a kiss while I was still asleep?” Cladia smiled shyly at Ornado's question.
“It turns out you are just pretending to sleep,” Ornado's hands move to tidy up Cladia's hair that looks messy, some even cover her pretty face.
“Which man do you think can sleep peacefully next to his beloved wife? I'm not intentionally pretending to be asleep, I just want to give my wife a chance to admire my handsome face when I'm not.
“Ah...” Hearing a small scream from Cladia, Ornado immediately stopped speaking, and immediately moved his head to wake up from his sleep, moving towards Cladia with his right arm resting on the bed.
“What happened? Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll call the doctor right now,” Ornado turned her back to grab her phone, then looked at Cladia with a worried face, let alone see Cladia's moving hand touching her stomach as she let out a small scream just now.
“Al! he moves! he started moving Al! I can feel it! Just now he was moving Al!” Ornado breathed a sigh of relief at Cladia's words whose face looked so happy, because she had just felt a small movement from inside her stomach. It was a very small movement but Cladia could feel it because it was only the first time in her life that she felt such a small and gentle movement from inside her stomach, it felt like something was touching his stomach but coming from inside his stomach. Ornado moved his hand toward Cladia's abdomen, trying to feel signs of movement from his little baby.
(Fetal movements in the womb, signifying the development of the Little One. Babies in the womb move due to various things. The reason the baby moves is because he wants to stretch his limbs or when he responds to the emotions the mother feels or the sounds heard. In addition, the baby in the womb can hear when his mother is reading, talking, or singing. Some body positions and foods that are newly consumed by pregnant women can also make the fetus move. The baby in the womb is actually already moving at 12 weeks gestation. But his body is still too small to make pregnant women can not feel the movement. Generally, pregnant women can feel the baby's movements in the womb at 13-16 weeks of pregnancy. While the father or someone else can only feel the movement of this baby from outside the stomach, a few weeks after pregnant women feel it, which is around 20-24 weeks of pregnancy).
“Good morning little baby papa, did you sleep well last night?” Cladia smiled hearing Ornado greet the baby in her stomach in a friendly tone.
“I can't feel his movements from the outside, maybe because he's too small, but I can't wait for him to be born and get him to play together, he will be a great boy under the care of both of us,” After saying that, Ornado moved his head to kiss Cladia's stomach affectionately.
“If he is a boy, I pray that he will inherit your greatness and handsome face,” Ornado laughs at the words of hope to Cladia, but to Ornado is more a compliment to him.
“Whether he looks like me or you, if a boy he will definitely be very handsome, and if he's a girl he'll definitely be very pretty too,” Ornado gently stroked Cladia's head, then kiss Cladia's forehead with affection.
“My little girl, soon you will be a mama. You will definitely be a great and kind mama, who will be loved and admired by our children,” Cladia smiled timidly, saying, moreover, hearing Ornado's words that mention about “our children”, shows clearly in the future Ornado is still expecting the next child to be born from his womb. Imagining that Cladia's heart became pounding, trying to ask herself if she was ready to give Ornado rights as her husband.
