Child Genius - Beyond Recollection

CHAPTER 8 ~ Friendship ~

Celina fell unconscious amidst the students who bullied her. The girl panicked, traumatized by what happened to her while being bullied by a delinquent on the lonely road leading to the Villa.

The girl seemed to be in the same situation, surrounded by men laughing. Celina lunglai's body, the girl was unable to hold on to stay upright, eventually falling unconscious.

Alyssa who had just seen before could not finally see Celina who fell unconscious. The girl ran over to Celina, holding onto the body of the cold girl.

While the others could only look, sculpting did nothing.

"Well, once you do this, what's wrong with Celina? Did he hurt you once? Celina just told me about the incident she had, just because she was helped by a respected person and you were envious?" he said while looking at the girls who had laughed and always bully Celina.

"Is it because she worked at the club last night that you accused Celina of selling herself?" alyssa shouted while looking at the students who were just standing looking.

"You're all childish, if Celina really sold herself, she wouldn't be allowed to go to college here anymore. Check the truth first before accusing" said the girl emotionally.

Alyssa could no longer see the behavior of students and students who were out of bounds. All this time he had only been silent to see their treatment and utterances to Celina.

Because Alyssa herself felt afraid, making friends with someone who was ostracized would make her get involved in bullying but now Alyssa does not care. The girl realized there was no need to make friends with small-minded people. There is no need to fear being ostracized by people with such traits.

Alyssa tried to wake Celina but the girl flinched. Alyssa patted the girl on the cheek but there was still no response. Alyssa started to get confused, the others could only retreat standing on the sidelines. Looking at Alyssa and Celina with a look that was not to blame.

Suddenly the teacher came and asked what was going on. Alyssa said Celina suddenly fainted and the lecturer suggested taking Celina to the campus clinic room.

Alyssa asked for permission to take her home. The girl wanted to take care of Celina in her house. The lecturer also allowed, with a note that if something happened that harmed Alyssa should immediately contact the doctor, Alyssa agreed.

Once at her house Alyssa put Celina to sleep in her room. The girl prepared the porridge for Celina. Alyssa had long felt sorry for Celina and Alyssa wanted to take care of her now. The girl felt guilty letting Celina face her ordeal alone all this time.

Towards the afternoon Celina opened her eyes, the girl looked at the stranger of the room she saw. Back the girl was traumatized, waking up in a room she did not know. Celina screamed in panic then checked her clothes.

Still wearing the same clothes as when I left for college. Celina immediately cried, her feeling of relief poured out through the cries. Alyssa hurriedly came over, hugging Celina.

"Relax you are in my house, you are safe here" Alyssa said as she rubbed Celina's back.

The girl was still crying as she pleased, Celina tried to calm herself but the fear she felt made it difficult for the girl to ease her cries. Alyssa let the girl cry as much as she could to relieve her feelings.

Alyssa prepared lunch for them, the girl deliberately made porridge so that Celina could digest it well. Celina felt overwhelmed by Alyssa's kindness.

"Alyssa, why are you so good to me? You want to bother taking care of me, I've never met anyone as good as you" Celina said as Alyssa told her to taste her cooking.

"Because I feel sorry, I should have helped you a long time ago. But because I'm a coward, after falling unconscious like this, I dare to help you" Alyssa replied while eating her food.

"Don't blame yourself, you're not a coward. People in situations like mine are naturally shunned. This can make them hate you too" Celina replied.

"Leave it, I don't need friends like that" he said with a smile.

Celina smiled too.

"Aren't you afraid to be friends with me? I can bring a bad image to you. They can also accuse you.., "Cellina doesn't continue with the words, the girl just looks down.

"What's? as smart as you?" he answered with a smile.

"What?"

"I don't care about those people's petty views. I look at you as a smart man. I really admire you when I know you're a full scholarship recipient at university" said the girl from an educated family.

"Alysses"

"Try thinking positively about yourself.

I also learned to think wisely, so I believe more in the university that also trusts you.

"Alysses"

Alyssa laughing.

"From that Alyssa...., Alyssa? are you in love with me?" he said while laughing.

Celina laughed too.

"Let's eat" said Alyssa, who was nodding by Celina.

After lunch Alyssa invited Celina to sit down to talk.

"From a long time ago I admired your intelligence. Since it was the first semester but you are a closed person so I don't dare to approach you" said Alyssa.

"Not so, I'm not a closed person. But I feel insecure. And again because of my job, it makes me afraid to be friends with anyone. Especially with a girl from a rich family like you. I feel like you won't want to be friends with me" Celina said.

"Excuse me. What wealthy family? Ordinary" he said he did not want to be judged like that.

Celina smiled, if only they had been more familiar like this. Celina might not fall into such a place.

But is it possible that Alyssa can give me a way out of my troubles?  Looking for a job is impossible for this girl who can get something easily, whispered Celina heart while looking at Alyssa.

The girl exhaled heavily, recalling the moment she finally made friends with Maura. They are girls who both need jobs even with different goals.

"What's wrong, why breathe like that?" alyssa asked really attention to her new best friend.

But Celina just bowed.

"Why if I was such a person, you would be disappointed to have defended me" Celina said tearfully.

"What do you mean?" alyssa asked curiously, a bad thought flashed across her mind.

"I have no choice Alyssa, my last salary is almost gone. It is very difficult to find a job that can work while in college. I have to pay for the dorm. It is hard for me to make money anytime soon. Just to pay rent Alyssa, to eat I can still fast" Celina said with tears.

"No.., no. You can't choose that path. Keep it out of your mind, you can not fall, there must be another choice, there must be.., there must be another way" cried Alyssa unwillingly and immediately embraced Celina.

Celina resigned if Alyssa should hate him because of the path she chose. Alyssa was still hugging Celina, the girl was crying hearing Celina's words that resignedly chose the path of life like that. Destroying his life to survive.

Celina stared blankly ahead, her tears still pouring out. Alyssa let go of her embrace, wiped away Celina's tears then smiled at the girl.

"Isn't there me now? you can stay here with me. I'd be happy if you'd be here with me" said Alyssa suddenly finding a way out.

Celina's tears flowed even more profusely, receiving such kindness always made her moved. Because rarely maybe even never got that much kindness and attention from a friend.

Alyssa nodded then laughed, her tears also dripping. The two girls who had just formed a friendship were laughing along with tears that were still flowing.

Celina brought her things which were just a travel bag to Alyssa's house. Alyssa smiled welcoming Celina's arrival. Alyssa's family deliberately bought the two-room house to house their daughter while studying in the region.

Their friendship was sweetly intertwined, leaving and going home to college together. The streets in the mall and even beauty treatments together and of course all financed Alyssa.

Celina always felt bad whenever she received kindness from Alyssa. However, Alyssa felt sad every time Celina refused her gift. Celina tries to repay Alyssa's kindness as best she can.

Cook food for them, clean up the house and help Alyssa understand all the courses. Celina is no longer alone in her college days, her classmates are no longer too nosy with her.

Some even tried to approach him. Celina accepted the friendship without taking the slightest revenge. Celina turned into a cheerful and shining girl.

"What's? to Indonesia? really do? brother's gonna stop by my place, right? just one day? if that's not the case, yes.., yes.., well, bye" Alyssa heard answering a phone call from someone.

"Sister Kevin wants to come, brother Kevin wants to come" that's all he said many times.

Seeing that Celina thought Alyssa would meet her lover, visible from her cheerful face.

"She's going to stay a day here" he said immediately pouting for being too short.

But what Celina thought was precisely her room, the girl thought of preparing her room for the upcoming man. But where does he have to stay?

"Don't think about it, he can sleep anywhere, on the sofa, on the carpet is up to him, in the kitchen as well" said Alyssa still laughing cheerfully.

Celina laughed at Alyssa's words, the guest expected to be told to sleep in the kitchen, how cruel, thought Celina smiling.

Alyssa was in the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door. Celina came out of the room to open the door for him.

A handsome athletic tall man was standing at the door, the man immediately smiled at Celina. Directly hugging the girl, Celina was wide-eyed in shock at getting that hug.

"I didn't expect you to be so pretty" she said, then kissed Celina's cheeks. And hugged him again.

The girl was flabbergasted, there must be a misunderstanding she thought. The girl hurriedly pushed him but the man was unwilling to let go of her embrace.

"Son this is nothing, it's not me" cried Alyssa pouting.

"Oh wrong yes, it turns out you are still ugly" said the man immediately moved to hug Alyssa.

Alyssa immediately hugged the man tightly, leaving Celina who was agape at the behavior of the two people.

"That's my friend, brother deliberately looking for a chance" said Alyssa then introduced her brother Kevin to Celina.

"Sister?" ask Celina.

They nodded.

"Why not look alike? It's because he's too ugly" the man said as he pointed at Alyssa.

Obviously the man was joking because Alyssa was a beautiful girl, the man just wanted to tease his sister.

"Don't want a pretty bitch? if so Celina aja bein sister, but a sister should not have a crush on her sister ya" said Alyssa while sticking out her tongue.

Kevin immediately smiled looking at Celina, the girl immediately misbehaved.

"If that's not so, you choose this ugly adek only" said Kevin while rubbing Alyssa's hair.

Wrapping his hand around Alyssa's shoulder looked very short compared to Kevin. The man looked at Celina with a gentle look.

"After counting it looks like you can spend a week here" Kevin told Alyssa.

Alyssa laughed at that.

"Bas based on the eyes of the basket" he said while pinching his brother's waist.

Celina smiled at the familiarity of the sister's sister. They sat together on the floor with a thick fur carpet. Celina offers Kevin occupy the usual room and Kevin usually sleep there if staying at Alyssa's house.

"Where are you sleeping?" ask Kevin to Celina.

"I..., on the couch alone" Celina answered only to think of that answer.

"On the couch anyway, we're both in the room" said Kevin and immediately pelted sofa cushions by Alyssa.

"Don't be teased" said Alyssa feigning anger.

"Who is seductive, really invited really really" he replied again while throwing back the sofa cushion until it hit Alyssa's head.

The girl immediately stood up while carrying the sofa cushion and smacked into her brother's back. Kevin immediately grabbed his sister and hugged his only brother.

"Your friend has a girlfriend, right?" ask Kevin.

"Ask yourself, it's in plain sight" Alyssa replied leaning on her brother as she looked at Celina.

Kevin also looked at Celina, who was looked down in embarrassment. Kevin and Alyssa smiled at Celina's bashful behavior. They spent the night talking on the carpet floor. The flaming TV did not concern them, Kevin brought joy to the two friends.

The man who lives and works in New York only once a year visits his family. After meeting his parents, it was his turn to see his sister.

Celina hugged the sofa cushion while looking at the familiarity of the sister's sister's sister.

"It was the pillow" said Kevin again teasing Celina.

Celina immediately put the pillow down while bowing in embarrassment. The girl immediately went to bed because she was sleepy. Kevin was disappointed but eventually let Celina into the room.

"Don't be seduced anyway, later if he really likes the same brother new tau takasa loh" said Alyssa.

"What if he really likes it, is good" Kevin replied.

"What about Gaby's sister?" ask Alyssa again.

"Udah broke up" he said briefly.

"What's? Why?" alyssa shouted in disbelief but the look on Kevin's face showed seriousness.

"Udah was proposed as his boss" Kevin replied with a sad face.

"So it's not serious, do not rush to propose, it will be taken by people right" said Alyssa to be sad.

"That's not a match. In fact, if he is serious with his brother, he can refuse the boss" said Kevin look relaxed but tucked sadness there.

Then the man again teased his sister.

"What if you marry Celina" said Kevin with a smile.

"Sister, don't mess with her, her life is pity, don't be played with" Alyssa replied seriously.

"Who is playing? stay married trus boyong to New York" he said casually.

"For what? To avenge Gaby's brother or to escape?" answer Alyssa sewot.

"Yes, if not, how else.But if he himself likes the same brother, can ya?" kevin asked with a smile hugging his beloved sister.

Kevin and Alyssa fell asleep on the carpet as they chatted late into the night. Celina came out of the room carrying a blanket for them. Celina enveloped the two sister sisters. Put a padded pillow for Alyssa. All that did not escape the sight of Kevin who pretended to sleep.

The man smiled, seeing the tenderness and warmth of Celina's heart and Celina's affection for Alyssa.

I like you, Celina, Inner Kevin.

Then he went back to his sleep.
