Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 25 ~ In Store ~

Mrs. Rowenna looked at the results of the DNA test she had just received. His hands shook holding onto the sheet of paper.

You lied to me Jessica, huh. I've been supporting a liar to gnaw my own family, you're being insolent ! I'll find a way to repay you ! rowenna screams while slamming everything on her desk.

"Grandma ? grandma why ?" tanya Tita who turned out to have been standing in front of Rowenna's office door.

Mrs. Rowenna looked at the little girl whom her granddaughter had thought of for more than five years. Tita looked with a worried face at Ms. Rowenna, make that woman can't bear to be hard on him.

"Do you want Tita here ?" rowenna asked still holding back her frustration.

"Tita wants to take the grandma to Ozora's shop" he said, looking down.

Since their return from her grandparents' wedding anniversary two days ago, Tita has been eager to visit Ozora at her bookstore. But it is impossible to take his mother, while his father still has not returned from his business trip.

"Watching Ozora ?" ask Rowenna to make sure.

Tita nodded, Rowenna who started to like the intelligent child became increasingly curious about its origin. Finally Madame. Rowenna decides to accompany Tita to visit Ozora.

"Well, let's find Ozora" said Rowenna, who was greeted by Tita.

Not long after that, they arrived at Ozora's bookstore. But Tita does not see Ozora, because usually anyone who comes will be greeted by Ozora.

Tita immediately invited her grandmother to meet Celina on the third floor. The girl who was busy compiling the books in the closet, was unaware of Tita's presence. Immediately shocked when the girl suddenly stood up, infiltrating in front of him.

Celina squatted straight away aligned her height with the little girl, looking at Tita who was smiling at her.

"Tante thinks the little angel from where suddenly infiltrated here" said Celina while tidying up Tita's hair.

Tita laughs.

"Would you like to meet Ozora ? but Ozora is out" Celina said as she looked around with whom the girl had come.

But no one followed the little girl.

"While waiting for Ozora Tita to play here first aja, aunt has a lot of coloring books, Tita want to try ?" celina offers Tita.

Celina picked up the books for coloring complete with crayon and watercolor.

"What color do we want ?" celina asked as she brandished a box of crayons, brushes and watercolors.

Tita chose crayon, the little girl immediately started coloring. Until he forgot his grandmother who was standing quietly watching them.

She's Ozora's mother, her face looks familiar.

Where have I seen him ?

Could it be one of Raffa's date ?

But I never cared about my son's date.

Maybe it was because her mother Ozora so there was a resemblance, Inner Rowenna, still curious about Celina.

The book that the girl had coloured in such a short period of time had been filled with colors. Celina gave a thumbs up to the work of the little girl. Then giving a cotton bud to Tita, the little girl was astonished.

Celina gave an example of how to flatten crayons using a cotton bud. Tita was astonished to find the results of her images that looked flat and smooth. The girl clapped her hands and grabbed the cotton bud Celina gave her. The little girl smoothed her picture with passion.

Celina looked at the little girl's face, in her heart unable to keep the little girl away from her father. Tita's affection for her father exceeded her affection for her mother, Jessica. Because several times the girl came with her father. Celina always felt stubborn whenever Tita took Raffa to the store.

What if Mr Raffa's family finds out he's meeting me ?

I can't see this child suffering, Mr. Raffa don't leave this child, inner Celina while stroking Tita's hair.

Mrs. Rowenna finally decided to meet Celina, the girl was immediately surprised to find the madam in front of her. Smiling the rich lady greeted Celina.

Celina stood down, her body trembling. The girl had met him once in the hospital when Raffa was injured for helping him. The madam was so arrogant and demeaning.

Mrs. Rowenna observed the picture her grandson was tinged with. Seeing that Celina immediately invited Mrs. Rowenna sat next to Tita. Mrs. Rowenna smiled and thanked him. Celina sat down next to the other Tita. Pay attention to Tita's behavior, while Ms. Rowenna looked at Celina.

The girl was nervous but tried to overcome it by pretending to teach Tita. Observed by a Rowenna, who was not afraid, seeing the madam from afar might Celina already tremble.

"You're Ozora's mother ?" rowenna said hello.

"Yes madam" Celina replied briefly.

"It's very pretty, it's appropriate that Ozora has a handsome face" she said with a smile,

"Thank you madam" Celina replied.

Mrs. Rowenna introduced herself. Ny's Attitude. Rowenna made Celina wonder, although still looks haughty but does not look like judes before.

It seems like she doesn't recognize me, whispered Celina's heart.

And it was natural that the rich mistress did not recognize Celina. They only met once, when Celina was still a nineteen-year-old girl. And again the haughty mistress was unlikely to notice lower class people like Celina.

What is this woman's relationship with my son ? maybe because I admire Ozora I wish the boy was my grandson, plus now I know Tita is not my grandson, Rowenna said as she looked at Tita.

Mrs. Rowenna smiled at Celina then asked her to speak.

"Do you know Tita's father ? he came here a few times to take Tita ?" ask Rowenna.

"I've never met her here madam" Celina said.

Mrs. Rowenna nodded.

How do I know the relationship between Raffa and Ozora ? the boy looks so much like Raffa.

Do I have to do a DNA test on the kid ? well. I will also do it against Ozora to make sure, I don't want to feel any more doubt, cried Rowenna.

Rowenna smiled at Celina, about to launch her intention.

"Ozora once promised to visit our house often, to accompany Tita, when did she plan to come ?" ask Rowenna.

"Ozora hasn't talked about that to my mistress" Celina replied.

"But you allowed it, didn't you ?" rowenna asked Celina sweetly.

Celina confused to answer him, to be honest the girl was afraid her son was close to the family.

What if the family finds out that Ozora is the son of Mr Raffa ?

What will they do to Ozora ? inner Celina was confused.

While Mrs. Rowenna was still waiting for her answer.

"Yes madam, I let it go" Celina finally said.

The answer was a second later he regretted. Kevin hurried up the stairs, stunned when he saw what was in front of him. Mrs Rowenna turned her head when she realized someone had come to greet her.

"Kevin. are you here ?" sapanya friendly.

Mrs. Rowenna immediately got up, kissing the two cheeks of the handsome man. Kevin glanced at Celina, then smiled at Ms. Rowenna's.

"How are your parents ? we have not met for a long time. You also did not come to the aunt's party" said Rowenna so excited.

"Yes my aunt is preparing something in the company" replied Kevin bowed.

"Oh yeah, we heard you were CEO of a foreign company, we talked about you there, Jessica was very surprised to hear the news.

He seems to regret for leaving you" Rowenna said at length.

Hoping for the man to return to pursue Jessica, Rowenna had already planned to throw the lying woman away. While Kevin could only glance at Celina, the man was worried that Celina had other thoughts towards him.

Celina observes a picture of Tita pretending not to hear their conversation.

"That's just my aunt's past, I'm sure, now Jessica is happy with Raffa" Kevin said.

Mrs. Rowenna breathed a heavy breath.

"I heard they had a child" Kevin said.

Mrs. Rowenna just looked at Tita. Kevin approached Tita. Greeting the busy little girl looking down on the coloring. Then Kevin looked at Celina who was at Tita's side.

"Om daddy's friend huh ?" ask the girl.

"Yes, friends since childhood" Kevin replied.

"Like Tita and Ozora but not that small. Tita continued to color it, om want to go back to the office first yes" said Kevin.

Tita nodded, Kevin said goodbye. Mrs. Rowenna offered to stop by her house. Kevin nodded in agreement and went downstairs.

"She was my son's friend, they were very familiar when they were teenagers, they were very fond of competing for girls back then.

Choppy, getting along again, fighting again and getting along again.

Hah...we two big families sometimes do not care anymore if they are enemies because they will certainly get along again" Rowenna told with laughter considering the past.

Celina just smiles to respond to him. The closeness of Raffa and Kevin has been heard, as well as their rivalry win the heart of Jessica. But many times enemies because of the seizure of the new girl this time he heard.

"We can't wait long, can you ask for your phone number ? if we want Ozora to come to the house we'll call you first" Rowenna said, giving Celina her phone.

If we want Ozora to come ? oh my goodness is really a regulator, inner Celina.

Although I do not like the words of Mrs. Rowenna, but still the girl gave me her phone number.

"What name should I write for this contact number ?" ask Rowenna.

"Cel. mm. Ozora's mother is just a mistress" Celina said.

Mrs. Rowenna nodded then kept Celina's number. Mrs. Rowenna took Tita home, the little girl hugged Celina at a glance and ran after her grandmother.

Celina tidied up the book and the coloring tools, her heart was calm. Rowenna and Tita are home. From the moment he came until now, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Putting the coloring equipment into a special closet, then back to clean and compile the books on the shelf of the closet, suddenly someone hugged him from behind.

"Sister." said Celina stopped, her eyes widened after knowing that the one who hugged her was Raffa.

The man smiled.

"What's brother ? who would dare to do this to you other than me" Raffa asked

"What are you doing here ?" tanya Celina switched the conversation.

"Of course I want to see you and my son" Raffa said.

"Why is it so certain that Ozora is your son sir ?" asked Celina pacing back and forth tidying up the book.

"Alright, then I ask again, who would dare to do that to you besides me" asked Raffa again.

Celina fell silent, walking back putting the inappropriate book in place, Raffa followed.

"As soon as I get home from my business I come to see you, I haven't even stopped by the house, don't do this to me, don't ignore me" Raffa asked to see Celina who was just busy with her business.

"I have to do it, I don't want to be a female destroyer of people's households" Celina said without looking at Raffa.

"My household is not what you think it is, I married her just to protect you from my mother's threats, I didn't even touch her" Raffa said.

"Lies, how the lord has a daughter if.."

Raffa grabbed Celina's body and grabbed her. Raffa stuffed Celina's mouth with her lips, the man couldn't help but do it, Raffa wouldn't be able to sleep if she hadn't felt the softness of Celina's lips.

And Celina couldn't dodge Raffa's wishes, as Raffa once said 'I never failed'. The man never fails to enjoy the sweetness of Celina's lips.

"Don't do this" Celina said with a hunting breath.

The girl was afraid, the third floor was indeed quieter than the floor below, but that did not mean no one would come to that floor. As of this moment Celina's eyes were wide-eyed as she looked through the third-floor glass window.

Celina hurriedly pushed Raffa, her eyes staring straight at the bottom floor. Raffa was confused to look at Celina's view. Kevin entered the store.

"You know him ?" ask Raffa.

"She was. she was talking to your mother and daughter here sir" Celina said frantically, puzzled by how to explain.

"Let it go, if I need to introduce you to him" Raffa said.

"No. No, are you not afraid of him telling our relationship to the master family ? I don't want any trouble, now I beg you to go" Celina pleaded.

Kevin will definitely be going up to the third floor. Raffa does not agree to go from there but Celina begs him. The man is forced to follow the girl's wishes, stepping down the stairs, on the second floor Raffa and Kevin meet.

"What are you doing here ?" kevin asked as soon as he saw Raffa appear before him.

"I'm looking for mommy and Tita, my daughter" Raffa replied.

"On the third floor ?" ask Kevin.

Raffa nodded.

"But no one, it looks like they've come home" Raffa said.

"Where are you, what's the need here ?" ask Raffa.

"I want to see my fiancee" Kevin replied.

"Oh yeah, you're engaged ? it seems like you really get what you want, you have to move fast otherwise you can be grabbed by people" Raffa said.

"Because of that, I don't want to wait anymore" Kevin said.

"Who is he, a visitor here or.."

"Work here" Kevin replied directly.

"Oh, if that's what you can introduce to me now" said Raffa.

"Not yet, I will introduce you" replied Kevin.

"Ok. if that's what I go first, come to the house we can have a long conversation" Raffa invited.

"Of course, I haven't greeted Robby since I've been here" Kevin replied.

"Don't forget to bring Alyssa" said Raffa with a laugh, which was met with a smile by Kevin.

Raffa left the store with a heavy heart, his feelings still miss the girl but for Celina's request the man relented. While Kevin went to see Celina.

Hugging the girl from behind, the girl was shocked despite knowing Kevin was coming. But after waiting for Kevin has not appeared yet, until the girl chose to continue her work.

"Why do people always do this to me ?" celina said reflexively as Kevin hugged her all of a sudden.

"Who's the one who did this to you ? ask Kevin.

"Of course, big sister, always surprises me like this" Celina said slowly.

"That's because you're too focused on work, after all why you still take care of the books on this floor, you've become a supervisor at this store" asked Kevin.

"This third floor is the most valuable to me, because for the first time I was given responsibility by the manager of this store" said Celina proudly.

"Yes fine, but I think with your title, we can get more work than here" Kevin continued.

"This store has given me a chance to work, this store is very meritorious for me and I am happy to work here" continued Celina.

"But why do you like taking care of these old books ?" ask Kevin.

"Because less taken care of, the books here used to be more, because now more managed, long books here can be sold. But there's always a book on this floor, because a new book will one day be an old book" Celina said.

"Mama., uncle Kev" cried Ozora running over.

"Home home ?" said Kevin.

Snatched Ozora's body and carried her without letting the child approach her mother first. Celina's hands were open to embrace her child. The result Celina ruffled her waist to see Kevin's behavior.

Kevin laughed at finally lowering Ozora, the boy immediately ran away to his mother's arms. Kevin asked for Celina's car keys, he wanted to wait for them in front of the store.

It was his habit to pick up Ozora and his mother. If there are no important needs in the company. By the time Celina came home, the man was on standby in the car waiting to go home together.

"Where the flash, usually hang here" said Kevin looking for a flash containing MP3.

Kevin searched the floor, fumbling in the dashboard drawer. Kevin touched something, then took it. The man's countenance changed, his feelings mixed, sad, disappointed and angry.

Kevin looked at the diamond ring.
