Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 13 ~ Past Truths ~

Alyssa cried reading the letter in her hand, unable to endure her own grief, the girl immediately contacted Kevin and poured out her grief. Kevin was silent to the story of Alyssa accompanied by the girl's bitter cries.

Kevin stood up from the chair staring away from the top of the skyscraper.

Why ? why did you leave ? why not wait for me ? inner Kevin.

Scary laugh.

Intentionally stay away from me ? is Raffa really that guy ? can't you forget it ? kevin's heart screams.

Her memories drift through her moments with the girl, Celina's sincerity, her affection for Alyssa makes Kevin moved and her heart can no longer let go of the girl.

Celina enters a restaurant that opens a vacancy as a waiter. The girl had to defeat several candidates to be accepted as a servant there. Thanks to her intelligence Celina can beat other candidates and be accepted to work there.

Celina quickly understood what her tasks were. The girl's presence was well received by the employees there. Celina, beautiful and friendly, is a plus for him in addition to being deft at work.

Clever to bring himself to the customer, making the girl in no time a favorite waitress at the restaurant.

If I could work here, I wouldn't have experienced that, Celina said.

Celina who just decided to get out of Alyssa's house, got permission to occupy an empty room behind the restaurant for her residence. Some employees also occupy other rooms.

The only problem is the morning sickness that sometimes still feels if it smells certain dishes. If it was like that, Celina immediately ran to the back of the restaurant, breathing as much fresh air as possible.

The girl did not want to take too much anti-nausea medication. In addition to wanting to save money, the girl did not like to rely on drugs.

May this nausea end soon, do'a Celina in heart.

The girl looked at her stomach which was starting to bulge for a person as straight as herself.

What reason do I give if they ask about this pregnancy, worries Celina's heart.

Celina stepped back to the restaurant, within two months of her pregnancy could not be covered again even by wearing loose clothing.

Celina brushed aside her worries, for while the girl did not want to think about it just yet, the most important thing was to work hard and get recognition for her performance. The girl smiled as she recalled Kevin's words.

"Stop Cel first, rest first, eat with us-we yuk" said Yani.

"Good sister Yani" said Celina spirit.

Celina doesn't stand by if there's no visitors, the girl will clean all the tables or tidy up all the tablecloths, put a vase of flowers, check the neatness of the napkin folds and everything the girl can do.

Make it immediately liked by other employees. All of that was a form of gratitude for having been accepted to work at the restaurant. Celina planned to raise as much money as possible in preparation for her birth.

The thing he feared arrived, after working two months there. Bu Tiara who was aware of her pregnancy asked about her status. Celina was confused to tell it, but eventually the girl chose to be honest.

Telling of the captivity and rape that in nature. He refused when asked who did it. The girl covered the culprit with all her might, afraid that if anyone recognized Raffa, the man who did all that to her.

Bu Tiara felt pity, finally understanding the state of Celina. The middle-aged mother who also had the girl stroke Celina's downcast hair crying told her what she wanted to forget.

Didn't expect to tell it to people who were only two months old, in order to still be able to work at the restaurant. Celina has since looked more moody than usual, due to her open heart.

Bu Tiara regretted asking her, but Celina said telling her about the incident made her heart relieved. The girl could not even tell her dear friend. Celina thanked Tiara ma'am who understood her condition.

The girl was determined to be more active in working, even though her pregnancy was getting bigger but it did not dampen her spirit in work.

While Celina was still busy saving, Jessica was ready with everything. The wife of Raffa Saltano has prepared a beautiful room for her baby, a soft pink room with all baby supplies in the same color.

"You have prepared everything for the birth of your baby when your womb is only six months old, you are really a good mother" said Ms. Rowenna looked at the room her daughter-in-law had prepared for her future granddaughter.

"I don't want to rush later mom, so I prepare from now on" he said while struggling with Ny. Rowenna's.

"But your attitude is still spoiled like a child's" asked Ms. Rowenna looked at the top of her daughter-in-law's nose.

"Are you really sure your son is a girl ?" continued Mrs. Rowenna continued to look at the entire room.

"Yes, every time I do an ultrasound I always make sure my baby is a girl" Jessica replied.

"Well, good too, not feeling like having a daughter now I can feel having a granddaughter" she said. Rowenna smiled.

There was a knock on the door, surprising the two women who were engrossed in fantasizing about Saltano's new breed. Raffa appears at the door, Ms. Rowenna and Jessica turn their heads.

"You're home yet ? look at the room your wife prepared for the birth of your child, she worked hard alone preparing all this" she said. Rowenna welcomed her son who had just returned to work.

Raffa looked at the room that from yesterday was still crowded with workers decorating and going back and forth people who were carrying things, now it looked calm.

Jessica is ready for the birth of her baby, which means that soon I will be free, Raffa's inner self.

The man smiled as he walked around the spacious room like the room of a royal princess.

Jessica was pleased with Raffa's expression, the woman was proud of her work. Juggling the empty room located next to Raffa's room into a very beautiful nursery.

"Well mommy there is business, you just enjoy the beauty of this room of your work" said Mrs. Rowenna kissed the cheeks of her son and daughter-in-law.

Raffa smilingly looked at Jessica, the woman became astonished by the man's attitude. A glimmer of hope arises in her, maybe Raffa's attitude will turn sweet before the birth of her baby.

Yes right, the look on Raffa's face did change, usually the man could only emit a cold look at Jessica now turned warm, his smile had expanded since earlier.

"Looking at this room, I just remember that soon your daughter will be born and I will soon be free of you. Even though everyone thinks it's three months away, we both know your baby was born counting the days, my freedom, just counting the days" raffa said as she passed with a smile that did not disappear from her lips.

Jessica was stunned to hear Raffa's words, not expecting what the man who became her husband thought. The sweet smile that expands on her lips is not for the happiness of their daughter's birth but for her happiness because the covenant between them is coming to an end.

I won't let you go, just look, Jessica's inner self with a sharp look in her eyes.

Raffa stepped happily into his work room. Picked up his cell phone from his pocket and called David.

"I want you to find out about Celina, where she lives, what's the campus, whatever, I want to see her immediately" Raffa told David, looking out through a glass window.

There was no word from David, the man was surprised, David did not respond to his words. Raffa did not hear any sound from the Personal Assistant and his best friend.

"David you're still there ?" he said then looked at his phone, it was seen that the phone was still on and the phone connection was still not cut off.

"David ?" repeat it again.

"Sorry Raffa, I lost track of him" David replied softly.

"I've done that, I've seen him on your mother's orders, I know where..."

"FROM NOW" Raffa snapped, instantly turning off his phone.

His chest went up and down with anger, only now did he find out David had met Celina behind him, and that was at his mother's behest. The man was really upset, panicked, wondering what his mother wanted to do, and told David to look for Celina.

Raffa was still busy with all his thoughts, there was a knock on the door in his office. David entered followed by a sharp gaze from Raffa. David stepped up with a down face.

"Sorry Raffa" that's all David can say to Raffa.

Raffa silently stared intently at the face of his best friend who looked very sorry.

"That's all ? that's your only explanation for coming all the way here ?" shouting Raffa.

David was silent, the man knew exactly how his best friend was tempering. The man can tear apart everything in front of him if he is angry. But never had that anger been directed at him, David felt so sorry.

"TELL ME EVERYTHING !!!!" raffa shouted at David.

With a downcast face David told how his mother came and ordered him to look for the girl Raffa held captive in his villa. Offering to give some money for compensation for Raffa's treatment to Celina in an attempt to shut the girl up.

Raffa heard all of that with a raging feeling, staring intently at David with flowing tears. It seemed in her mind how sad Celina was to receive such treatment from her family.

Raffa who knows exactly Celina will not receive a penny for what she has done to the girl. Got humiliation from his family, by paying the sacrifice and losing the girl.

"Mrs. Rowenna prevented me from seeing you in the hospital before the wedding of Mr and Ms. Jessica began, I can't report anything to you" David said.

The man did not dare to act like Raffa's best friend with Raffa's current emotional state. And true as he expected, Raffa vented his anger at the goods nearby. The vase of flowers floated against the wall leaving broken glass scattered.

Householder, Mr. Saltano, Mrs. Rowenna and Jessica clearly heard the sound of the broken glass. But everyone was silent in their own room.

Raffa drove his sports sedan across the highway at high speed, still with tears flowing, the man hit his wheel many times.

You must hate me so much, you must think I want to get rid of you.

You must think I'm a cowardly bastard who doesn't want to take responsibility, you must be...

You must have thought I forgot you, Raffa screamed in his heart while increasing the speed of his car.

Recall how the man had to marry Jessica a month after he and Celina were separated.

You must think I left you to marry Jessica, Raffa screams.

Stopped on the lonely highway to the villa, where Raffa saw Celina surrounded by men who disturbed her. It was vividly remembered how her anger had peaked upon seeing Celina being hugged in turns by those rotten delinquents.

That girl is mine, I touched her first, she is mine, no one can enjoy her but me, Raffa cried.

Come to the delinquent who annoys Celina. Directly awarding a blow to the man who had just pushed Celina to another man.

Raffa leaned down on the steering wheel, then got up and beat the steering wheel many times. His frustration had already reached the top, the girl he helped desperately without thinking about her own life, was kept away from him without his knowledge.

Raffa spurred his car to turn, entering the gravel road to Villa. Opened the door of the Villa violently, ran inside, found the ice pick that had been held by Celina. Plugging the ice pick anywhere, the wall, figura, even the bar table.

Tired of destroying all the surfaces in front of him. Raffa sat down, crying sobbing, his chest hurt. His sacrifice to Celina, by going through an unwanted marriage in order to be able to live with the girl later.

It just brings disappointment and sadness to the girl. He disappeared, away from the reach of Raffa and his family. And now David can no longer find her, quit college, and no longer live in a dorm.

Where are you Celina, where should I look for you ? raffa's inner scream.

Still sobbing, sitting on the floor leaning against the bar table. The man fell asleep on the Villa floor, tired, feeling sad, disappointed, upset and angry which culminated in making the man's body feel tired.

Tired, Celina felt her body that felt tired, the bigger her stomach the more shortness of breath.

Six months it feels tired like this, how to reach nine months ? inner Celina.

Remembering how her birth mother conceived herself. Although then threw it away, the mother must have also felt fatigue as she felt. Celina, who had been resentful and angry at the biological mother who threw it away, left her in an empty house. Finally feel what his mother suffered.

Maybe he is not strong enough to withstand this fatigue, maybe he is not as strong as me, maybe his life is harder than mine, Celina whispered.

She shed tears while rubbing her growing belly, trying to understand and forgive her biological mother.

Celina returned to the restaurant, after a short break in the back, the girl wanted to continue her work. The condition of her pregnant body is understood by all restaurant employees. The girl is allowed to rest whenever she wants.

Celina was grateful, her life story told to Bu Tiara was like lost. Nobody talks about it, nobody is curious about the truth, nobody looks down on it. I don't know what Tiara said to reduce all that, which Celina obviously felt very grateful to all employees, especially to Tiara ma'am.

"Have you finished your break ? sure you want to start ? " bu Tiara asked as she watched Celina return from her break.

Bu Tiara told him to stop clearing up all the tables that had been finished being used by restaurant customers.

Bu Tiara looked at Celina's breathing, so the kind mother told her to rest.

"Table seven is ready, can you drop him off ?" tanya bu Tiara and answered with vigor by Celina.

Bu Tiara smiled looking at the working spirit of the girl. Celina pushed the food trolley towards the designated table.

"How many months have you been ? " one female guest asked another female guest.

"Six months" replied the woman asked.

"Your marriage is only six months old and your womb is also six months old, wow your husband is really great, once playing live so" said another woman with a laugh.

The pregnant woman asked was none other than Jessica, the woman immediately felt insinuated, but on the face of the woman exuded pride. These women who became her friends must be envious because she managed to make Raffa her husband, that was what she thought.

Jessica seemed to approve the words of her friend, that her husband was so great that he could immediately impregnate her.

Celina came while pushing her food trolley. Then arrange all dishes politely and carefully.

"Dwelt... Happy to be Mr. Raffa's wife" another friend's tease.

Deg, Celina's heart feels stopped working, the girl slowly turned to the customer she was serving.
