Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 26 ~ Her name is Celina ~

Kevin looked at the ring with a sharp look, then grasped it tightly. Looking at Celina who walked out of the shop while laughing hand in hand with Ozora. They were joking all the way to the car where Kevin had been waiting.

They looked at Kevin who was sitting behind the wheel while looking down. Looking at each other, Ozora thinks Kevin is unaware of their presence opens the car door for his mother.

Celina walked in and found Kevin who was just silent, usually Kevin will immediately open the door for her while smiling to let her in. Celina sensed that there was an oddity but the girl tried to behave naturally.

Kevin drove his car home, all the way Kevin was silent. The more talkative Ozora, Celina welcomed all the boy's words. Keeping the atmosphere from being so awkward, Ozora seemed to feel the same way as well.

The boy repeatedly greeted and asked Kevin, the guy who usually likes to tease it just reply to him. The atmosphere is really uncomfortable, they hope to arrive home soon.

When he got down from Celina's car to find his phone shaking, Kevin glanced at her but went straight into the house. Celina felt Kevin's attitude change. But the girl had to focus on her phone, Celina was astonished at not recognizing her contact number.

Raising the phone while entering the house, a small voice of Tita was heard across there. Celina immediately welcomed Tita's greeting warmly. But rather stunned when he saw Kevin's not so friendly gaze.

Celina hands Ozora her phone, the boy finally takes over the conversation on the phone. Celina wanted to ask Kevin, but fear prevented her from asking. The man collapsed on the sofa of the living room, every time he saw it Celina always felt sad. The man should have his own room.

Celina went awry, wanting to get out of the house, but had no support. While Kevin still survives sleeping in the living room. Celina approached the sleeping Kevin with her arms covering her eyes. Celina sat on the carpet beside the sofa facing the man.

"So why ? is brother sick ?" ask Celina.

Kevin did not answer, Celina was surprised, seeing Kevin's attitude that changed in silence, but was still teasing him. The girl felt Kevin's forehead but did not feel the excessive heat. Celina was confused as to how to find out what happened.

"Ma, tomorrow Ozora was told to stay at the Saltano family's house, can you please ?" asked Ozora who suddenly came and sat down near Celina.

Kevin suddenly spoke

"Why do you like to hang out with them ? are you bored with us here ?" kevin is still in the same position.

Celina and Ozora turned to Kevin who spoke but did not look at him at all.

"Uncle Kev, do not like that Ozora too often gather with them" Celina told Ozora.

Kevin sat staring intently at Celina.

"Don't involve me, he's your son, you decide what to do, you allow it or not that's your business" Kevin said loudly and then took a drink.

Hearing that Celina's tears immediately flowed, the girl was indeed a feeling, the girl who had never felt the old man's affection could not hold back her tears.

Saying a little loud will make her tears just flow. Especially if it comes from his loved ones, Kevin will never speak loudly to him, if he is not upset. It is certain now Kevin is angry with her but the girl does not realize what her mistake was.

Ozora wiped away her mother's tears, then fell on her mother's lap. Celina's tears were still flowing, her son's hand rubbing was unable to stop her crying. Celina's heart stands at the intersection, weighing her son's feelings or Kevin's feelings. Celina could only hope that the child could understand.

"You want to go now ? let me take you ?" kevin suddenly appeared in front of them.

Ozora hid her face in her mother's lap, Celina anxiously looked at Kevin's face standing before her. The girl's tears were flowing more and more.

"Is not enough love and affection I give you ?" kevin asked as he looked at the crying Celina looking at him.

Seeing the tears Kevin was getting annoyed to take a sofa pillow and slam it until it hit the table lamp until it fell. Celina's body shook in shock, Ozora hugged her mother. Kevin slammed the door stepping out of the house.

"Ma, Ozora doesn't want to go to Tita's house" said the boy at last.

Celina simply nodded with tears continuing to flow.

"Let's go to the room" Celina said as she carried her child.

This kind of atmosphere that he disliked the most, Ozora felt guilty. And again Kevin showed his dislike of seeing the boy close to the Saltano family.

Celina doesn't want Ozora to feel sad, no matter what Kevin says, no matter what treatment the man will receive. But Celina felt very sad when her son's heart hurt.

"Ozora take a shower first, mama ready for dinner" said Celina trying to be reasonable.

Although her heart is not careless, Celina wants Ozora to quickly forget what happened. The girl looked at the door where Kevin came out, then tidied back the fallen table lamp.

What is my mistake sister, just say it, do not vent it on Ozora, be angry with me, inner Celina shed tears.

Kevin sat in the complex garden staring blankly without moving at all, silent. So long like that Kevin finally took the ring from his shirt pocket, looking at the diamond ring closely.

You have absolutely no price, no meaning to him, wishing to be by his side but he is desperate to throw you out, Kevin said.

Talk to their engagement ring as if it were a symbol of her. The man took a heavy breath, swinging the ring about to throw it away, but urgently, Kevin grasped it with both hands resting on his forehead. The man was crying, crying until his body shook.

By dusk Kevin still did not come home, Celina stared at the door of the house. Alyssa who had come home from earlier asked where her sister was, but Celina could not answer. He was busy preparing dinner for them.

The door opened Celina came straight over, but then bowed, Kevin's expression still moody. Ozora who was sitting watching television in the middle room immediately lowered her head.

Kevin went into the bathroom, Celina sat with her son on the floor of the carpet in front of the TV. Ozora fell on his mother's lap.

What am I supposed to do ? say hello to Kevin ? I was afraid he was ignoring me.

Ask what is my fault ? will he answer ? inner Celina.

Suddenly Kevin was sitting next to her, the man had taken a bath and looked fresh. Celina looked at the handsome man. Kevin stared back at Celina, the girl immediately looked down not daring to look at Kevin. Kevin smiled, then raised Ozora's body and in the stand on his lap, the man shifted closer to Celina.

"Sorry Uncle Kev" Kevin told Ozora.

Kevin apologized to Ozora.

"Uncle is jealous, you know what it means to be jealous ?" kevin asked while scratching the child's stomach.

Ozora laughed and held onto Kevin's hand with both of his small hands. Celina looked at Kevin's face as if looking for remains of anger there. Kevin laughed at the behavior of Ozora who could not stand amused.

Without realizing the girl smiled at Kevin, Kevin's laughter was what he was waiting for at this time. Seeing that laughter his heart was calm. Kevin suddenly turned to Celina, the girl hurriedly lowered her head. Kevin grabs Celina's shoulder and pulls the girl closer and kisses her cheek.

"I'm sorry, huh ?" kevin said with a smile.

Questions that need not be answered, Celina must have forgiven Kevin. But what was the cause of her anger, Celina still could not guess. It's always like that, Kevin gets angry and apologizes.

They had dinner together, Kevin's cheerful face and back teasing her made Celina's heart really calm. They discussed the films they wanted to watch through the subscription-based streaming service in the living room.

"Oh my God, Money Heist season five, three last September has started airing ?" alyssa shouted while staring at the screen of her phone.

"What film is that ?" ask Celina.

"Have you ever seen it ?" alyssa asked who was slapped in the head by Celina.

"The film is about a bank robbery stunt accompanied by a romance drama.

A group of robbers in all red costumes and wearing Salvador Dali masks, committed a robbery that will be carried out for 3 days.

They deliberately shut themselves in the money printing house in order to print more money" Alyssa told a fiery story.

Celina, Kevin and Ozora notice Alyssa who tells her about the excitement of the film.

"During the confinement created various conflicts that occurred between robbers and also the hostages. An interesting conflict is when a robber contracted Stockholm Syndrome, the attraction between a hostage and a robber"

Kevin smiled while Celina and Ozora looked serious hearing Alyssa's story.

"It's a great movie, the director has to be able to create a situation where a hostage can fall in love with the person who holds him" Alyssa said.

Eating Celina stopped, her face looked pale, her hands trembling. Kevin looked at Celina in surprise, but Alyssa still did not stop his chattering.

"Stockholm Syndrome is so strange it is almost unbelievable, how can a kidnap victim fall in love with her captor just because of a small kindness" Alyssa continued.

It wasn't a small kindness, master Raffa almost lost his life for helping me, inner Celina.

Celina felt her body go limp, her breathing felt tight. Kevin saw the change in Celina's face, the man suspected that Celina was traumatized.

Kevin still continued to stare at Celina who was increasingly looking limp.

"When the captive victim even experienced acts of violence, even the pemer.."

"Alyssa, enough" Celina said as she glanced at Ozora.

"Oh.. This Ozora must have known it all, she might even be able to define Stockholm Syndrome better than me" Alyssa said.

Celina was no longer able, the girl did not want to fall unconscious in front of them. Want to get out of there soon.

"I'm sorry, I'm done" said the girl standing but staggered to the touch of a glass and fell.

Kevin immediately stood holding Celina's body. The man immediately carried Celina, took her to the room and laid her down. Ozora looks sad to see her mother who looks weak.

"Ozora want to accompany mom here ?" kevin asked who was answered nod by Ozora.

"Celina doesn't seem to be feeling well anymore, she also looks moody" Alyssa said as Kevin exited Celina's room.

Kevin just nodded, after cleaning the glass shards, Alyssa walked into the room. Kevin was sitting alone in the middle room. Subject to thinking about what was the cause of Celina being so frightened to hear Alyssa's story.

Did Celina experience all that ? kidnapping, graft and rape ?

I thought Celina was just a victim of Raffa's seduction.

Did that bastard really do it ?

How ? I know she likes to play girls but, uh,

so many girls are willing to serve him why force Celina ?

Bastard, I'm not willing, I don't want Celina to fall into his hands, cried Kevin.

Kevin searched for information about the incident, browsing the news about Celina.

The girl was reported missing for several days and appeared in a hospital carrying Raffa who was critically injured.

Celina clarifies that she is not missing and is helped by Raffa from the people who are bothering her. This hospital is in a location close to the Raffa family villa, the inner Kevin.

Kevin becomes more suspicious, Celina and even Raffa's family are not suing those who critically injured her son, it's to avoid a police investigation into the truth of the girl's story.

I'm sure Raffa kidnapped Celina, I have to investigate what really happened.

The next day Kevin asked to meet with Raffa. Raffa warmly welcomes Kevin's intention to visit his home. Kevin talked to Mr. Robby and Mrs. Rowenna while Raffa is still not seen because he is out of the house.

Raffa comes home with Tita, the girl greets the man who is a friend of her father. Kevin, who was walking beside the family pool, welcomed Tita's greeting.

"Om who came to Ozora's shop, right ?" ask Tita.

"Yes right, where's Tita from ?" kevin asked while bowing to align their height.

"From Ozora's store, grandma wants to invite Ozora to stay here, but Ozora still can't, because there is a lot of work he said" replied Tita with a disappointed face.

Raffa more and more often come to the store, lest they have met ? is that why Celina threw away our engagement ring ?

She doesn't want Raffa to find out that she has become someone's wife ? inner Kevin.

Raffa tells Tita to go inside the house, she wants to talk to her old friend.

"Older days we didn't compete" Kevin said, looking into the pool.

"You want to challenge ? yesterday-yesterday you might always win but now, not necessarily" said Raffa who knew Kevin champion swimming while in High School.

"But not necessarily the meaning is uncertain" challenge Kevin.

They end up actually racing, Raffa and Kevin change their clothes with swim trousers. Walk towards the pool. They are getting ready to start.

"KEVIN...!!!" scream Jessica.

Kevin and Raffa turned their heads, looking at Jessica in a hurry. The woman immediately hugged Kevin and kissed the athletic man's cheeks. Kevin turned to Raffa, who was only seen smiling at his wife's behavior.

"You're getting hotter, baby, why just show up now ?" jessica asked as she stroked Kevin's handsome face.

Kevin was really surprised to see the behavior of the husband and wife. Hugging another man and praising him in front of her own husband. And Raffa as a husband doesn't mind at all. Kevin remembered Raffa's story that his household was not healthy.

"Say you became CEO in a foreign company huh ? are you married ?" Jessica nodded at Kevin with questions.

"Yes" he said briefly.

Raffa laughed at Kevin's reluctance to respond to Jessica's question.

"Yes what ? so CEO or married ? " ask Jessica again.

"Yes, I'm the CEO. And I'm getting married" Kevin replied.

"really ?" jessica was a little disappointed.

Raffa immediately asked Jessica to enter the house, the man was disturbed by her presence. But the woman refused, Raffa did not care anymore.

Jessica was amazed to see the athletic body of the two handsome men. They continued the race, Raffa became the winner as he said.

Kevin did not care, because the purpose of the man invited the race just to prove the wound on Raffa's body. From the news he read, Raffa suffered a torn wound to the stomach, and his scar was clearly visible to Kevin.

"Why with your stomach ?" kevin asked while looking at Raffa's sixpack stomach which had a scar.

"This is because it helps the girl I told you about, the girl I love" Raffa said, taking Kevin to a relaxing seat.

Hearing the story Jessica immediately left, the girl could never accept the fact that Raffa had loved another girl.

"Is it not too outrageous to say that in front of your wife ?" ask Kevin.

"He knew everything, even before we got married, he also knew that I decided to marry him to protect the girl from the threat of mommy" Raffa told the publication.

"The injury was also because it helped him ?" ask Kevin.

"It's because of the girl's stab" Raffa said.

"He stabbed you ? and you helped him ?" ask Kevin.

"This happened before, the girl stabbed me for wanting to escape from the villa, it was an error that I will never regret" Raffa told reporters.

"What do you mean ?" ask Kevin.

"I locked her up and fucked her in the villa" Raffa said, recalling the past.

It turned out to be true, Raffa had raped Celina, how could she have done it, you bastard, cried Kevin.

"Who's the girl's name ?" ask Kevin to make sure.

Raffa was astonished by Kevin's curiosity. And although Kevin felt ready to hear it, but the man still wished it wasn't Celina.

"Name's Celina, I recently rediscovered her"
