“Oooo, apparently our newlyweds did not wake up?” Ola casually said as she walked towards the dining table, Cladia chose not to care about the voice she just heard.
“There's still a newlywed, but I heard gossip from the waiter when you guys split the bed this morning? Just a rumor or fact Ad?” Ornado looked directly at Ola's face with a sharp look, showing his dislike, while Cladia immediately stood up while lifting her plate.
“Excuse me, I better eat in the room, not used to eating while accompanied by the sound of birds chirping. Pain in the ears,” With a relaxed Cladia walked away from the dining table and back to her room, Ola's eyes immediately widened to hear Cladia's words.
“You...!” Ola shouted with a dead red face, she directly slammed the napkin in her hand and cancelled her intention to eat.
Ornado and Aunt Ema smiled at the scene. At least Ornado's heart felt calmer, with the incident he was sure Cladia would be able to handle Ola.
He's tough enough.
Ornado said inwardly with a smile, continuing his morning meal, as if nothing had happened just now.
“Ad, really did you guys split rooms?” Aunt Ema said quietly after being sure no one heard their conversation.
“Yes aunt, she's still mad at me because of last night,” Aunt Ema scrunched her forehead.
“Anged? You were being rude to her?” Ornado immediately raised his face to hear his tantic question, and immediately put down the cutlery and knife in his hand, stopping his eating.
“Coarse? Sure enough aunt, how could I have acted rudely to my roses?” Ornado put a teasing smile on his face, making Aunt Ema laugh in a giggle.
“Then why is he angry?” Ornado frowned slightly and raised his right eyebrow.
“That was also my aunt's question, okay I assume he forgot me because he had been separated for a long time, he could not love me, but.... I can not explain, I feel there is something strange with Cladia. Ever since we met almost 4 months ago, he's been keeping a real distance from me, like I'm a terrible person. Though in my memory, I never once did anything bad to him,” Ornado briefly bit his lower lip, trying to remember and find the answer to his own question.
“Even I remember for sure, since meeting her again, just yesterday on our wedding day I touched her hand, that too I could clearly see she was uncomfortable, it seemed like she was afraid of me.” Aunt Ema propped her chin on both of her hands, trying to digest Ornado's words.
“Then what's your next plan?” Ornado again grabbed his knife and fork to continue eating.
“I'll find out more info to Jeremy, he must know more than me, this morning I've asked for time for us to meet after breakfast. I'm afraid the events of 5 years ago still affect Cladia,” Aunt Ema let out a long sigh.
The story of what happened to Cladia's friend 5 years ago Aunt Ema has also heard a little from Ornado.
“If you heard the story from Jeremy 5 years ago, it was really a difficult time for Cladia, what a pity,” Aunt Ema shook her head.
“Tante, I'm asking you to help that no one knows about this, including Cladia, 5 years ago there was no need for Cladia to know that I knew, either, even I sent people looking for Edo who had fled to the Netherlands, and I deliberately arranged for the judge to give the heavy law to Edo, he said,” Unknowingly Ornado gripped the knife in his right hand tightly. If at that time he himself caught Edo, it is certain that the man will get many gifts of broken bones from him.
“I regret once 5 years ago I could not accompany Cladia through her difficult times, but indeed at that time the critical condition of papa in the hospital did not allow me to leave Italy,” Aunt Ema grabbed Ornado's hand, patting her gently.
“You've done the best you can Ad, the important thing is now that you have Cladia, the girl of your dreams, I used to worry about you, because there's not a single girl you're approaching, as if you have no interest in girls,” Ornado's eyes boughtak heard the words of his tant, not expecting his aunt had thought strangely about him.
“Which is really aunty, I'm a normal guy, totally normal." Aunt Ema laughed hearing Ornado emphasize normal words.
“And I proved it last night,” Laughter Aunt Ema immediately exploded heard the whisper of Ornado.
“I went upstairs aunty,” Ornado got up, approached her aunt, both her hands touched her aunt's shoulders, gently stroked her and kissed the top of her head.
The woman since 15 years ago decided to take care of him, for Ornado Aunt Ema is like her own mother.
Many sacrifices have been made for her, including her decision not to marry in order to care for Ornado.
“Later to dinner we meet again aunt,” Ornado said as she stepped her feet towards the stairs.

“Cla,” Ornado knocks on the door connecting her room with the room Cladia currently occupies. He deliberately did not want to knock on the front room door, to avoid the additional rumors that the servants were spreading.
“What do you need?” Cladia opened the door, but only a quarter of it, as if to firmly signal Ornado not to step foot into the room.
“Suddenly I have to go out to meet someone, later in the day I can not accompany you to eat, dinner later we meet at the dinner table,” Cladia just nodded without making a sound, he said, because if I'm honest he actually feels happy Ornado just returned later tonight, so he does not need to continue acting as a good wife for Ornado in front of many people.
“If later in the day you need company, you can find Aunt Ema, as much as you can avoid Ola and Aunt Yati. It's good for you to go in and out of the room through our room door, so that people do not spread rumors that do not.” Cladia looked at Ornado's face.
Their height difference of more than 12 cm makes Cladia have to look up a little when talking to Ornado.
To be honest Cladia was not happy with Ornado's last words, but in the end Cladia had to admit that what Ornado said had a point.
“If I had spoken enough, I closed the door,” Without waiting for an answer from Ornado, Cladia immediately closed the door in front of him and locked it, but a moment later there was a knock.
Cladia opened the door in front of her.
“There's more?” With the ogah-ogahan Cladia looked at Ornado.
“Why is the door you lock?” Cladia bought her eyes, showing annoyance at Ornado's question.
“So that you do not carelessly enter again,” By ketus Cladia answer questions Ornado.
“Ooo, because of that huh? Then just lock it, all the doors of the room in this house, I have a backup really,” Without waiting for Cladia's reaction that can be ascertained filled with anger, he said, Ornado immediately walked out of the room with a face holding back laughter.
Hastily after Ornado had gone Cladia opened one by one all the drawers of the table and cupboards, busy searching for the spare key that Ornado had said just now, until he did not realize Ola was already standing in front of the door of the room with one hand shaking her waist.
“Hei! What the hell are you doing? Stealing yes?” Cladia's reflexes looked at Ola and stopped her busyness, took a short breath and straightened her face toward Ola.
“Stole? I'm not the one who should be asking why you went to our room?” Mata Ola buyak gets a counterattack from Cladia.
“Your room? This is Ornado's room!” Cladia walked up to Ola who was still standing by the door.
“Ooo, looks like you forgot who Ornado is. My husband Ornado, so this room is also my room, it is strange that I take something from my own room but say steal,” Cladia said as she held back from swallowing her saliva, because for her to call Ornado her husband, it really made her feel guilty for Ornado, as if just using that name, admitting her as a husband when she was in a pinch.
“Suy? Are you sure you consider Ornado your husband? Listen yeah! I'll prove that you don't love Ornado, that you just use it, I don't know what your intentions are until you get married to Ornado, but I'll make her go away from you! Because I'm the only one who deserves to be Mrs Xanderson!” Ola pointed her index finger at Cladia, and immediately turned away after she finished uttering her threat.
Cladia hurriedly closed the door of her room after Ola left, with a shaky step she walked towards the window, opening the window curtain of Ornado's room, her eyes instantly widened.
From the window, Cladia can see the view of the garden below, full of colorful roses arranged neatly. In the north there is a white rose arranged in the shape of a crescent moon, in the west pink roses arranged in a circle, in the east peach colored roses form a hexagon, and, to the south of the orange rose with the shape of a star, right in the middle of the red rose is embedded neatly, arranged so that it forms a heart, which is, in the center of the heart-shaped red rose section is a yellow rose neatly arranged to form the letter C, and Cladia can make sure the letter C is delivered to mention her.
Without realizing it, Cladia's tears trickled down.
“Sorry Al, sorry...” Cladia said softly.
“But I really can't Al…. I'm afraid....fear so much...” Cladia whispered softly, her right palm touching the glass in front of her.
