Child Genius - Beyond Recollection

CHAPTER 27 ~ Has Lost ~

Her name is Celina, and Raffa has rediscovered her

Raffa's confession about their past events leaves Kevin stunned. Although ready to hear all that but still make his chest feel sore. Want it to make a handsome face in front of him was battered to be unrecognizable.

But no, they're not high school boys anymore who have to fight because of a girl. It is not the time to avenge anger by using physical violence, attacking his heart is more perfect revenge.

I'll avenge them, Kevin's inner.

"You've met him ?" ask Kevin again.

"After a long time we finally met again. Therefore, I want to end my marriage with Jessica immediately. What I should have done a long time ago, but failed because he always threatened to kill himself with his son" explained Raffa.

"Whoaat ? you say as if Tita is not your son" Kevin said.

"Tita is not my son" Raffa replied briefly.

"What ? Tita's not your son ? do your parents know ?" ask Kevin.

Raffa just shook his head.

"I don't think mommy wouldn't let them stay in this house if she knew Tita wasn't their granddaughter.

I can't tell Tita either, the boy is so close to me, I don't want to be the one to break her heart.

Jessica never cared about Tita in the first place, she just wanted to use the child to control my mother" Raffa replied.

"You're a really complicated family" Kevin said slowly.

Raffa just smiled, looking far ahead.

"In the near future I will find a way to marry Celina" he said.

Don't expect, Celina is mine, this time you have to give up on me, Kevin's inner self.

"You said you're getting married soon ? really ? when are you going to introduce her to me ?" tanya Raffa.

"I'll arrange our meeting soon" Kevin said.

"Wow, we have to create a special event to celebrate" said Raffa excited.

"Sure" replied Kevin briefly.

All the things Kevin wanted to know had been gained. Kevin came home from the Saltano residence with mixed feelings, upset, angry, hate and sad. Raffa is Celina's rapist and the man is Ozora's real father.

Raffa lets Celina live alone to endure her pregnancy and marries Jessica on the grounds of wanting to protect Celina. Kevin smiled wryly at the reason, leaving Celina alone until fate brought her close to Alyssa and eventually made Kevin fall in love with her.

The thing that made Kevin's heart ache was Celina hiding her relationship with Raffa. Though the girl knows their family and Raffa's family have been friends for a long time.

The girl even threw away their engagement ring. Put it in a place as if it had no meaning at all. Kevin's chest felt tight, the man tried to calm himself. But it was repeatedly hit the driver of Alyssa's car, until tired, leaning in the car that had long entered the garage.

"So why not buy your own car anyway ? let's go ahead Celina" said Alyssa while catching the key of the car Kevin threw.

Kevin did not respond to Alyssa's remarks, the man immediately collapsed on the sofa.

"Life suffers for love, no room, no car" Alyssa said.

Kevin was silent, Alyssa was astonished, usually the man would immediately reply to the taunts. But now Kevin's like he's not having the passion to talk. Kevin's attitude changed these days, as did Celina, which is what Alyssa felt.

"What's up, brother ? is there a problem ?" ask Alyssa curiously.

Looked at Kevin's gloomy face.

"A fight with Celina ?" ask Alyssa again.

"Do you know who Ozora's real father is ?" ask Kevin suddenly.

"Celina once said that she was a guest at the nightclub where she used to work" Alyssa replied.

"Aren't you asking what his name is ?" kevin asked, looking at the ceiling.

"Freely I ask, where might I know a guy who is used to nightclubs" said Alyssa.

Celina lied to us, she knew exactly our relationship with the Saltano family, but she purposely hid it, Kevin's inner self while closing her eyes.

"Why did you ask that ? does your sister know who she is ?" ask Alyssa.

Kevin was silent again, Alyssa was silent as well. The sound of Celina's car entering the garage. Saturdays and Sundays Kevin and Alyssa are out of work, while Celina stays because the bookshop is open every day, the workers there are arranged with shift divisions.

Ozora immediately ran to meet her uncle and auntie. Spouting at Alyssa who instantly showered her with kisses all over Ozora's face, the boy laughed amusedly.

"Saturday Sunday does not have to go to the store anyway, at home alone" Alyssa told the child.

"Not ah enter the store because many friends on Saturday Sunday" Ozora replied rejecting Alyssa's request.

"Who came to the store ?" ask Alyssa.

"Tita and dad." said Ozora cut off, looked straight at Kevin and then looked down.

Kevin did not respond to anything, the man knew that Tita and her father had come to the bookstore. It is certain that Ozora met them even with Celina. Celina walked in and immediately sat down with Alyssa and Ozora on the carpet.

Rest for a while to gather with the two sisters. Celina glanced at Kevin who covered her face with his arms. Celina felt guilty every time she looked at Kevin.

Brother should have let me go, sister should not have forgiven me and not allowed me to be friends with Alyssa, inner Celina was sad as she looked at that man.

Recalling the moment Kevin learned of her pregnancy, the man told her to leave Alyssa's life.

Maybe things wouldn't be like this if at that time I was completely gone from their lives, forgive me sister, inner Celina.

Celina's eyes glazed over, hurriedly going into the room calming herself down. Celina has met Raffa. Celina was unable to avoid the man, because her heart wanted to always be close to him.

Although always said to want to stay away from Raffa but when the man approached her, Celina could not dodge the blow of the man's lips. Celina feels like a mistress. The girl shed tears every time she remembered that.

I'm sorry Kevin's sister, Celina screams, every time she receives a kiss from Raffa.

Their dinner menu today is Alyssa-style fettucinne carbonara. Every weekend the girl is in charge of preparing food for them. Although Celina offered to help but the girl always forbade, because it was her own decision to take responsibility for their food every Saturday and Sunday.

Celina sat down next to Kevin, the girl had not spoken to the man at all since coming home from work. There was a feeling of guilt every time I met Kevin after meeting Raffa.

Celina glanced at Kevin who was focused on her spectacle. Celina goes awry, wanting to help Alyssa prepare dinner but the girl is unwilling to be helped. Go into the room, don't know what to do there. Sitting next to Kevin, the man didn't care about him.

I looked back and forth between the kitchen and the television. Celina decides to come out but Kevin holds her hand, until the girl sits down again. Not that Kevin ignored the girl, but his feelings are still uncertain, revenge, hate, anger want to be ventured but he himself felt unbearable.

Finally dinner was ready, Alyssa called all to enjoy her homemade meal. Alyssa mixes all available packaged foods in a refrigerator. Be the dinner menu today, Ozora clapped, happy because her favorite food ingredients mixed into one in Alyssa-style dishes.

"Where's your ring?" kevin asked while looking at Celina's finger.

The girl was startled to look directly at her finger, instantly panicking, confused as she herself had also forgotten why she did not wear the ring. Celina tried to be calm.

Where did I put it ? when did I open it ? oh my God, why is it lost ? inner Celina.

"I kept it in my room" said the girl at last.

I'm sorry sister, I lied, I'll look for her later, inner Celina.

"Why Cel was taken off, it was your engagement ring, your ring was not an ordinary ring, it indicates you already have one, it is, you are dethroned means you do not want others to judge you already have" said Alyssa.

Sounding relaxed but in Kevin's heart, Celina wants to be judged as an unengaged girl.

Celina doesn't want Raffa to know that she's engaged Kevin whispered.

"That's not so Al, brother, I. I just. just uh. "say Celina confused.

"If you don't like the model, we can change according to your wishes" said Kevin trying to calm down.

Ozora could only look at her confused mother.

"No sister, I love the ring, I'll wear it later" Celina said slowly, remembering where she put it.

Kevin looked at Celina, the girl looked down unable to return the gaze. Celina really felt guilty, the girl just realized Kevin's silent attitude today. The girl was determined to look for him, as soon as dinner was over the girl went straight into the room unloading all the drawers in her room.

"Mama hasn't taken it from the dashboard drawer ?" ask Ozora.

Celina's eyes widened, just remembered she took off the ring when it would come out of the airport parking lot. Celina patted Ozora on the cheek showing her gratitude, then headed straight for the garage. Kevin just looked at the girl who was walking hastily towards the garage.

As the car door alarm opened, Celina sat on the steering wheel turned on the cabin lights, then began to ruffle the dashboard drawer. Celina panicked as she still had not found the ring. Repeatedly fumbled the drawer but still did not find it.

What might be missing during a tune up ? when is the car maintenance schedule ? do they dare to take the things that are inside here ? oh no, I just accused the person of stealing, inner Celina while holding her head with both hands.

The girl fell down tired, her tears flowing.

The ring is gone, what should I do ?

I have neglected to keep his gift, big brother will definitely be angry.

She must have thought I didn't appreciate this engagement, screamed Celina's heart.

The girl cried sobbing herself, not daring to go back inside the house.

Sorry sis, I have lost it, I cannot find it, please do not be angry with me, cried Celina inwardly.

He slid his face on the steering wheel, crying alone. Before long there was a knock on the windshield, Ozora standing waiting, Celina hurriedly wiped her tears, then opened the car door.

"Have you met Ma ?" asked Ozora, replied a nod by Celina.

Celina turned off the car cabin lights and closed the door and pressed the car key remote. Then he took his son into the house.

What am I supposed to do, admit I lost it ? inner Celina while holding Ozora.

Celina walked into the house through the living room where Kevin was observing the screen of his phone. Celina directly brought Ozora to the room, it felt like the girl did not want to leave the room forever. I was so scared of Kevin. It suddenly occurred to him to buy a new ring that was exactly the same as the one he had lost.

Is that better ? I kind of tricked him ? but I couldn't stand his anger, screamed Celina.

There was a knock on the door, Celina was surprised, her heart was instantly pounding.

"Celina, can I go to room ?" ask Kevin.

The girl opens the door and invites Ozora to come out, but Kevin holds Celina by the hand.

"Here we go, I'm just for a minute" he said with a smile.

That smile was extremely sweet but it felt terrifying to Celina at the moment. Kevin walked towards his wardrobe, Celina waiting.

"Ozora sleep, baby, it's night, son" said Celina wanted to eliminate the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Ozora obediently, lay on the bed and closed her eyes. Celina covered the boy and then kissed his cheek. Kevin looked at them with a smile.

"Would you sleep ?" he said while peeping Ozora's forehead.

Celina hurriedly wiped away her tears, Kevin's affection towards Ozora could always leave her heart touched. Kevin stood in front of her, Celina lowered her head. Kevin grabs the girl's hand and takes her out of the room.

I hate you lying to me, I'm angry you don't appreciate me, but I can't stay away from you for long, Kevin's inner gaze on the girl.

Turning off the living room light and pulling Celina into his arms and laying the girl on the sofa.

"Company me here" whispered Kevin.

Then ******* the girl's lips, Celina resigned. Dare not to refuse one bit. Without Kevin realizing it, Celina's tears flowing on the sidelines of her hair penetrated into the sofa.

Celina let the man hug her tightly, getting tighter. Their breathing was congested, but that did not stop Kevin from playing his tongue, dancing in pursuit of the sweet tender tongue of Celina.

The deeper the tighter, then slowly weakened to leave a gentle pull on the girl's lips. Kevin kissed Celina on the forehead, then closed his eyes, sleeping while hugging the girl.

The next morning, Celina woke up with Kevin still holding her, they fell asleep on the couch. Celina tries to get up but Kevin pulls her back into his arms.

"Wait a minute" whispered Kevin still with his eyes closed.

Celina fell on the man's chest, Kevin smiled, both hands were coiled around the girl's body. Wait for a while and then try to get up again. Kevin opened his eyes, directly looking at Celina who was resting on his chest while looking towards him.

Kevin tidied up the strands of hair that covered Celina's eyes.

"I love you" said Kevin.

Celina, looking down at Kevin's chest, then played the buttons on the man's shirt. The confused girl wanted to reveal her lost ring or was about to cover it up. But looking at the situation, Celina finally decided to keep her confession. The girl did not want to ruin the current atmosphere.

Celina and Ozora set off for the store, going about their usual activities. Sundays are usually more crowded visitors, because children who have school holidays invite parents who are off work to find items that are educational for children.

That's what Tita, the little girl who always wanted to play with Ozora, couldn't wait to pull her father's hand to enter the store, all that did not escape the sight of Kevin who had been standing quietly in the corner of the third floor observing Celina.

Tita was immediately greeted by Ozora, inviting the little girl to try a new educational game. While Raffa rode to the third floor, met Celina and then pulled the girl's hand. Celina tried to hold on, looking around the room, afraid that someone might see them.

But Raffa still teases him even want to force to hug the girl in the open if Celina does not want to follow him. Celina resignedly pulled her hand, walking behind the bookshelf in the corner of the third floor room.

Kevin stared at all that with a pushy, poignant and claustrophobic look.
