After the dance was over, Ornado and Cladia followed Afro walking towards Ornado's study in his mansion. In accordance with Ornado's promise to some journalists who specifically invited him at the party tonight, tonight Ornado deliberately made time for an interview session with reporters about the fact about his marriage which was quite horrendous for those who had never known before there was a story about Ornado being in a relationship with a girl preceding.
All they knew was the story of Ornado's greatness, what about his genius in business and his ability to lead made him successful in building his business empire that initially only existed in some parts of European countries, but in two years it has begun to penetrate out, he said, to all continents and even to Asia, including Indonesia.
“Goodnight brothers, tonight the interview session with Mr. Ornado Xanderson will open, you are allowed to inquire about Mr. Ornado Xanderson's relationship with Mrs Cladia Xanderson who is currently in the public spotlight in the country,” Afro gave the opening words before the interview session began, ornado sat next to Cladia on the sofa in her study, which was ready for the interview tonight. Ornado sat to the right of Cladia with one of her legs crossed, resting on the other leg, with her back leaning against the back of the sofa behind her, looking relaxed, yet still looking dignified and charismatic as ever.
“Alright, then we invite to start the interview session, ask for help all to calm down and not scramble in asking questions,” Afro who originally stood, and, after allowing the reporters to begin their interview, they immediately withdrew and took up a sitting position east of Ornado and Cladia.
"Mr Xanderson, how long have you been married to Madam? We heard you two have been married long enough. Why are you just announcing your relationship?" Ornado smiled at the question, he cleared his throat slowly before starting to answer it.
"We got married in Indonesia almost 4 months ago. There was no intention to hide our status, only my young wife wanted to concentrate first on the work she was currently in. The work was draining her energy a lot, so we both agreed to postpone announcing to the outside world our relationship. Please understand, she has a slightly shy Asian personality," Ornado grabbed Cladia's left shoulder with her left hand and hugged her shoulder warmly, pointing out that Ornado was very supportive of his wife in every way, including in her work, made some of the reporters gathered in the room look at each other and nod their heads, then write something down in their notebook.
Hearing Ornado's explanation made Cladia blush embarrassed, although at first the real reason she did not want the news of her marriage to spread because at that time she was still trying to consider her decision to divorce Ornado, but with Ornado's answer just now showing Ornado once protected her, Ornado will never make her Ornado's wife humiliated in front of anyone else.
“Mr Xanderson, where did you first meet the Madam? Was it two years ago when you started planting the Xanderson Group flag under the name Bumi Asia in Indonesia?” Ornado slightly held his breath hearing the next question.
“No, long before that I had met and befriended him. Not just know, even we are childhood friends. Where I am, he must be beside me. Before 15 years ago we were very close, even I witnessed the process of his birth. I was the first man to see her after she was born,” Cladia instantly turned her head, looking towards Ornado. He really had no idea there was such a story around his birth, Ornado just smiled looking at Cladia's shocked face. That story might not even have known Jeremy at all, let alone Cladia. Ornado has never told anyone, including his father, Alberto Xanderson.
“At that time my mom and my mom Cladia who was pregnant were traveling to the hometown of Mama Cladia with me and Jeremy, because Cladia's grandfather died. Once there my mother was immediately busy helping the family there, went shopping for commemorative events Cladia's grandfather died. When my mother was not there, Mama Cladia felt her stomach contract. I was a 6-year-old kid, all I could do was tell Jeremy to call his dad and tell the other family, while I immediately called the driver to accompany me to take Mama Cladia to the hospital,” Afro smiled at Ornado's explanation, even since the age of 6 years Ornado has seen so strong the soul of his leadership, he said, quickly being able to overcome a situation that for a normal child of his age would definitely be a difficult time.
Ornado glanced at Cladia at a glance with a smile, recalling the moment of Cladia's birth, not Papa Cladia, not Jeremy or even the other brothers, it was precisely at that moment that he continued to be beside Mama Cladia and held her hand tightly, as if to give her strength. All the way from Cladia's grandparents' home to Ornado hospital, she held Cladia's hand tightly until moments before Cladia's mother was brought in by the nurses into the delivery room.
After Mama Cladia gave birth, a while later Ornado who was 6 years old at that time could only peek through the door of the hospital room where Mama Cladia was staying, which looked a little open. At that time papa Cladia and mama Ornado were standing by the hospital bed where mama Cladia was sitting on the bed holding Cladia who had just been cleaned by the nurse and handed over to her mother for breastfeeding after birth.
Seeing Ornado peeking through the door that opened a little, Mama Cladia immediately coded Papa Cladia to call Ornado to enter. With a cheerful face Ornado rushed over to Cladia's mama. On his tiptoes he saw a little baby in front of him, who was in his mother's arms. Mama Cladia brought her baby closer to Ornado so Ornado could see the baby clearly.
“Mama, how beautiful is her little baby. Can we take this baby back to our house? Don't worry ma, I'll take care of this beautiful baby,” Mama Cladia laughs at Ornado's praise for the baby girl she just born. Ornado observed the little baby's face with sparkling eyes, appearing that Ornado was very fond of the little baby, especially when Ornado intended to extend his hand to touch the little baby's cheek suddenly the little baby's right hand fingers grabbed Ornado's hand and grasped it tightly.
“Mr Xanderson, what made you fall in love with Madam?” Ornado smiled, actually it was a classic question that would be addressed to all new couples, but he wanted to answer that question to show the world indeed since the beginning Cladia was indeed destined for him.
“Since he was born, he was the first to hold my hand, back then I knew in the future, I would definitely clasp the same hand to bring him to stand with me, to enter my life. Ever since she was born she made my eyes unable to switch from her,” Ornado answered that question while looking at Cladia's face deeply, she just realized, it turns out that she has been in love with Cladia and decided to make Cladia her future wife not since 15 years ago, but since 21 years ago, since the day that Cladia was born, and clasped Ornado's hand.
“Waaa.ahhh,” The people in the room looked at each other and smiled at the explanation from Ornado. Cladia's face blushed at Ornado's reply which sounded so romantic to those who heard it, including to herself.
“For Madam, what made Madam fall in love with Mr Xanderson?” Hearing that question Cladia gasped a little and made her a little nervous, quickly Ornado's right hand grabbed Cladia's hand which was on her lap and grasped it tightly.
“For the rest of my life, he was the only man who could make me feel comfortable as well as pounding, the only man I wanted to be the husband and father of my children, he said,” Jeremy who was standing not far from there smiled broadly at Cladia's reply, while Ornado could only bite his lips while smiling with a face that looked a little misbehaved. If only Ornado did not remember at this time they were conducting an interview session in front of many people, no hesitation he would pull Cladia's body in his arms and shower her with plenty of friendly kisses due to the confession Cladia had just given him about his love for Ornado.
"How many kids do you want to have?"
"Three!" Orando and Cladia spontaneously answered the question simultaneously, making the two of them immediately look at each other and laugh, they realized their spontaneous attitude just now which turned out to be the same number, the same number, but from the beginning they did not do any agreement to answer that question. As a result their compactness makes the reporters who do the interview again smile to see the sweetness of their attitude both. Orando's left arm still coiled around Cladia's shoulder tightened his embrace, bringing Cladia's body closer to Ornado.
Some questions surrounding Ornado and Cladia's relationship were still being heard, until Afro stated that the time set up for the interview was up and Afro immediately closed the interview session that night.
"Thank you to all my fellow journalists, tonight we close our interview, I hope the results of tonight's interview are enough to satisfy everyone" the millionaires who heard it smiled, he agreed with what Afro had just said.
"Mr Xanderson, for the last time, may we ask for a photo of both of you?" Ornado frowned slightly at the request of one of the reporters, glimpsing Cladia who was just smiling in response to the request.
"Ok, we will give as you wish," Ornado patted his thighs with both palms, then got up to his feet. After that he extended his left hand towards Cladia who was still in a sitting position. As soon as Cladia grabbed her hand, Ornado immediately pulled her gently, helping her to rise to her feet.
Ornado pulls Cladia's body to face him and approaches him. As soon as their bodies were near Ornado wrapped his arms around Cladia's waist, Cladia reflexively wrapped her hands around Ornado's neck. A second later Orando lowered his head, letting his forehead come into contact with Cladia's forehead which raised his head to look at Ornado's face, for a moment they both laughed happily due to their spontaneous movements which turned out to look so affectionate, for a moment, the opportunity was not wasted by journalists to capture the friendly moment.
