Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 22 ~ Hidden Truth ~

Mrs. Rowenna could not close her eyes at the thought of the resemblance between Ozora and Raffa. His heart and mind were fighting, the Saltano family could not possibly have any connection with the people of the lower classes.

While his heart is forced to try to accept the possibility, that Raffa has a son outside of his marriage. Given how wild Raffa's life was before she married Jessica.

Hanging out with young executives who have a lifestyle of fun and fun with many women, squandering their inexhaustible wealth even increases.

As powerful as Ny. Rowenna denied the possibility but part of her heart wished it was the truth. Because there is no hope for Raffa and Jessica's household to run harmoniously as she expected. Expecting a granddaughter from Raffa and Jessica's wedding seems unlikely.

Mrs. Rowenna was only able to fall asleep before dawn, making her late for breakfast. When his extended family had gathered in the hotel restaurant with the feel of the open air.

Ny's Views. Rowenna circled the invited guests who were enjoying their breakfast. Traveling around greeting, being friendly and loyal to friends and colleagues, making important people in the business world can not ignore the charisma. Rowenna is in the running of the company although now the leadership of the company has turned to her son.

Friendly and polite but ready to pounce, the declining nature of her son, made Ny. Rowenna and Raffa will not let people beat them in any form of competition.

Mrs. Rowenna walked towards the large table where her family gathered. Ozora stood to pull up the chair next to Mr. Robby, everyone who looked smiling at Ozora's behavior that was like a gentleman.

Mrs. Rowenna followed Ozora's play, sitting in the chair the boy had prepared. Ozora flicked the napkin three times to the back and put it in Ny's lap. Rowenna smiled, then returned to her seat. Wouldn't want to miss. Rowenna smiled at Ozora's behavior.

"I didn't see Kevin and his family, didn't you invite them ?" ask Ny. Rowenna started the conversation.

"Kevin could not come because he was busy taking care of his newly established company, while his papa apologized for not being able to attend because he was having regular medical check-ups in Singapore" Raffa replied.

"Kevin's in Indonesia, setting up a new company ? why don't you tell me ?" ask Jessica.

"Why should I tell you ?" answer Raffa.

"You always miss the news, Kevin became CEO of a foreign-owned company" he said. Rowenna to Jessica.

"CEO of a foreign company, well he is great, how can he be so great" amazed Jessica.

"Kevin is a graduate of Stanford, the second best university in the world, of course he was able to achieve the position" said Raffa.

"You're also a graduate of the best university, Yale University, I know that because Jodie Foster is also a graduate of that university, ah James Franco as well" said Jessica proudly.

"Your knowledge is incredible" Raffa said, applauding.

Ozora was silent at the conversation of the people before her. The boy guessed, the person they were talking about was his Uncle Kevin but Ozora just silently listened.

"What about you, your school ?" ask Ny. Rowenna suddenly on Ozora.

"For now, my mother has not allowed me to continue my education, according to my mother, I am still too small to choose a major that suits my passion" Ozora replied.

"Degree ?" rowenna was astonished.

"Yes, thirteen of the best universities in the world offered me to continue my education there, but my mother did not allow it" he said casually as he scooped his little mouth.

"Thirteen of the world's best universities, no way, that impossible" cried Ny. Rowenna, Jessica dumbfounded.

"Of course possible madam, in this world many children who can study in college at a very young age.

I often relate to them.

Some even got a college degree at the age of ten.

And there is a possibility that his position will be shifted as the youngest scholar because in the news that a girl will graduate university at the age of nine years" explained Ozora.

Jessica was no longer dumbfounded but flabbergasted, while the look on her face. Rowenna was in disbelief.

"She entered college when she was 8 years old and was set to complete a three-year college program in just 10 months. Such children are known as prodigy children or prodigy children are children who have more genius than normal.

The capacity of the science absorption system in the brains of such children is very high, which means that everything goes faster and we are children who can discuss more matter in a short time" obviously Ozora again.

"What ?" Ny jerit. Rowenna still can't believe it.

"That's not something to be surprised by, madam ? there was a seventeen-year-old boy who graduated from Harvard after graduating eleven days from his High School

Mrs. Rowenna's getting flabbergasted.

"You like that too ?" ask Mr. Robby.

"I looked more like a fifteen-year-old Nigerian girl when she went to Harvard University.

He was also accepted into thirteen of the world's top universities, including the world's number one university Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT"

"Stanford, Havard, Yale, I would be more confused if I chose the university because of celebrity Jodie Foster who graduated Yale, or Natalie Portman who graduated Havard" Ozora explained with a laugh.

"Oh my God, Natalie Portman graduated from Harvard University ?" jessica Jokes.

"Yes ma'am, beautiful and smart" Ozora told Jessica.

Slowly but surely Ozora dominated the talk of the wealthy family. Slowly but surely one by one the Saltano family admired Ozora. Raffa punched Ozora softly showing his admiration for the handsome boy.

"Then why not try to accept those universities, with your age you can jump from one university to another" said Mr. Robby who turned out to be joking.

"Mama asked me to choose with certainty the department that suits my passion, he did not like the expression of trial and error, I also want to be like him, working happily" said Ozora.

All stunned, talking to Ozora was like talking to a mature man who was mature in thought and insight.

But like other children, Ozora is also a child who wants to be pampered, and of course can only be felt with people who spoil him.

"I'm so impressed with your mother, I think your intelligence comes from her" Mr. Robby said.

"Mmm. Mama was accepted into a university on a full scholarship. Any visitor who asks her, what causes a child to be intelligent ? he will answer that the intelligence of children is influenced by two factors, namely genetic factors and environmental factors.

Visitors will believe right away because I grew up in an environment full of information and science" Ozora replied.

Mr. Robby nodded. Genetically Ozora was born to intelligent parents, the environment is clear, Ozora even knows books since she was a two-month baby.

Noon they fill with a walk to enjoy the natural attractions of the island. Tita and Ozora looked very happy, they became very familiar. Ozora gives an explanation of the places they visited from what he read.

As usual, without caring about Jessica, Raffa was only busy with the two children. Mrs. Rowenna and Mr. Robby also no longer concerns about the existence of Ozora.

As if purposefully avoiding me, whispered Jessica's heart was upset.

When they find Raffa, Ozora and Tita are not seen around the hotel.

At lunch they regrouped, this time the atmosphere was more relaxed. Unknowingly, Mrs. Rowenna always paid attention to Ozora's behavior.

The attitude of the rich mistress was increasingly open to Ozora. His admiration for his intelligence, making the mistress who always chose people to be friends, no longer bothered Ozora from any community.

Ozora gave Mrs a drink. Rowenna was relaxing by the poolside, while Jessica and her daughter were swimming cheerfully.

The rich madam accepted the drink in surprise.

"You know my favorite drink ?" ask Rowenna.

"I saw the lady order the drink a few times" Ozora replied as she sat in the long, empty seat.

Mrs. Rowenna smiled, nodding.

"No madam, I have plans with Mr. Raffa to go to the sauna" he said.

Ozora still calls the lord for Raffa's call because he thinks, Mrs. Rowenna didn't really like him calling Papa Raffa.

Mrs. Rowenna swallowed her saliva.

"Call me grandma, just as Tita called me" she said, turning her face to look at her husband, who had fallen asleep in the long chair next to her.

Ozora smiles.

"Good grandma" Ozora said briefly.

"Look at the couple, they are very friendly, maybe a honeymoon couple" Rowenna said, pointing to a pair of foreign lovers who were soaking in the pool.

Mrs. Rowenna was like someone who wanted to find a conversation with Ozora. Like wanting to familiarize yourself with that genius child. Ozora smiled welcoming a conversation that did not reflect the person of Mrs. Rowenna's.

"They're not the mistress' honeymoon couple, um. sorry grandma, they're her boss and secretary" Ozora explained.

Mrs. Rowenna was shocked to the point of being flabbergasted.

"How do you know ?" ask Rowenna.

"They were sitting behind my chair at breakfast yesterday" Ozora replied.

"Do you understand what they're talking about ? they are foreign tourists" said Rowenna half-believing.

"They are from Germany, the woman has long wanted to vacation here. They just got a chance because the wife of the new boss entered rehabilitation because of alcohol addiction" Ozora explained.

"What ? is it really like that ?" asked Rowenna doubtfully.

Ny Trust. Rowenna was thinning, Ozora realized that.

"I will ask the father to meet the grandma and give him his card" Ozora said.

"Wait for Ozora, well.what am I supposed to say ?" call Rowenna to prevent Ozora from seeing the tourist.

But it was too late, Ozora had stepped up to meet the tourist. Ozora talks to him, the tourist looks towards Mrs. Rowenna, nod with vigor. Not long after that the tourist came out of the pool and stepped towards Ny. Rowenna's.

"Wow, how is this ? what business do I have to see him ?" said Rowenna alone.

"What's the matter, dear ?" ask Mr. Robby who saw his wife's panic.

"That's, Ozorahe's talking." said Rowenna.

The traveler was in front of him, ma'am. Rowenna smiled, Mr. Robby was astonished. The traveler spoke directly to Mrs. Rowenna, smiling, ma'am. Rowenna looked at Ozora. Spontaneous Ozora translated the traveler's words.

Mrs. Rowenna laughed blushingly, as Ozora translated the surprised remark of the traveler when she learned that the owner of the famous company to her country was a charming and youthful looking woman.

Mr. Robby scrunched his forehead, not understanding what happened. As Ozora promised, the traveler gave her business card. I hope one day we can work together with his company.

Mrs. Rowenna received the business card, the traveler shook her hand. Rowenna's. Then say something to Mr. Robby and Ozora, then pass from the place back to the woman waiting for him in the pool.

Mrs. Rowenna breathed a sigh of relief then looked at Ozora. The smart boy smiled as he collapsed on the long chair. Mrs. Rowenna approached and tickled Ozora's waist, the handsome boy laughing. Seeing that scene wrinkle Mr. Robby is growing.

"Grandma, grandpa, Ozora" cried Tita waving her hand, greeting her grandparents.

Mrs. Rowenna stopped tickling Ozora, then returned a wave of her grandson, Tita.

"Tita is growing up healthy and smart something to be grateful for" Ozora looked up at the little girl who was three months older.

"We take good care of him" Rowenna replied again waving her hand.

"Of course, the grandma family has everything to counteract the risk of preterm birth" Ozora said.

"You know Tita was born prematurely ?" ask Rowenna in surprise.

"I read the news on the internet. I used to look for information and background on the children I would be with" Ozora said.

"Oh yes, it was in the news at that time, someone hurt him to have to be born prematurely" continued Rowenna.

"Studies indicate that children born prematurely, have a risk of learning disorders at school age. They usually experience language impairment, difficulty focusing, and also weakness in motor visual intelligence and spatial visual intelligence" Ozora explained.

Mrs. Rowenna was confused by Ozora's words.

"Prematurity can also cause problems for babies throughout their lives. The sooner a baby is born, the more likely it is to have health and development problems" Ozora said.

"Research at a University in London found that children born prematurely had low IQ test scores, motor skills, reading and spelling.

The study involved children at ages three, five and seven. As a result, children born prematurely tend to score worse on cognitive assessments compared to babies born at a sufficient gestational age" Ozora continued, smilingly waving her hands at Tita.

"Premature babies are at risk of delayed growth and development because some organs of the body have not been fully developed and have not functioned properly when born, important organs such as the lungs and heart have not been functioning optimally. This makes premature babies susceptible to respiratory problems and sometimes require breathing aids" he continued.

"However, seeing a healthy and intelligent Tita does not look like a child who was born prematurely. All of course thanks to adequate nutritional intake and extra strict supervision of the Saltano family against Tita as an infant" said Ozora finally.

Extra-tight surveillance ?

Hah, Jessica actually met her friends more often than with her baby.

Enough nutritional intake ? when the baby, the child almost died from fever and dehydration, but now there is no problem ?

Is the child like a child born with a sufficient gestational age ?

Was Tita born normal ?

Jessica was pregnant before they got married ?

But when did they meet, didn't Jessica have long gone abroad ?

So many questions came to mind. Rowenna was so unaware Ozora was calling her.

"My Grandma goes first yes, papa uh. mister Raffa has called me" Ozora said, pointing to Raffa waiting for him.

"Ok.. alright.have fun" replied Rowenna, still in thought.

Mrs. Rowenna looked at Ozora who stepped towards Raffa who had been waiting for her, then turned to look at Tita who was accompanied by her mother swimming in the pool.

Is it possible that Tita is not Raffa's biological daughter ?

Is there anything to do with Raffa's uncaring attitude toward Jessica ?

Could Raffa have known that Tita was not his real daughter ? inner Rowenna.

I have to investigate, if I need to do a DNA test, Inner Rowenna.

Mrs. Rowenna begins to doubt the truth of Tita's status.
