Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 28 ~ Don't ~

Ozora invites Tita to try a new educational game, while Raffa climbs to the third floor to meet Celina. Raffa pulled the girl's hand away from the open room. However Celina refused, trying to ignore him the man.

Raffa did not stay silent, the man continued to tease her even forcing her to hug the girl if Celina did not want to follow him.

Raffa is not one who obeys the will of others. Raffa is a man who does not want to fail to get what he wants. Celina resignedly finally followed the man walking behind the bookshelf in the corner of the third floor room.

All that did not escape the eyes of Kevin. Today the man had witnessed for himself, the behavior of Celina that tarnished their engagement. The girl meets and makes out with Raffa even though Celina has accepted her proposal.

Kevin could not stand the sight before him anymore, leaving the place with a chest that was hot with jealousy, heartache and disappointment.

While Raffa who managed to take Celina hiding behind the bookshelf was ready to hit the girl's lips, staying seinchi again, Raffa would feel the sweetness of Celina's lips.

"I'm engaged" said the girl suddenly.

Those words managed to stop Raffa, the man retreated then stared in disbelief at Celina. Grabbing Celina's hand and paying attention to her fingers, then laughing obliquely.

"Lying must also be supported by evidence" he said, raising Celina's finger in front of them.

"I just kept it" said Celina who was not wearing her engagement ring.

"You think I'll believe it ? didn't I tell you, never shun me, because I won't let you go.

If Jessica's the cause, I'm gonna divorce her soon.

I just need to gather evidence that she's been having an affair" Raffa said.

"Master accused his wife of cheating to find an excuse to divorce him, it was very cruel" Celina said.

"I'm not accusing her of cheating on me, not cheating on me, but from our marriage. Because I knew his behavior before we got married" Raffa explained.

Celina looks confused.

"Tita wasn't my real daughter, Jessica was pregnant before I married her.

Do you remember when Jessica accused you of harming her womb to give birth prematurely ? all of this is not true.

Her gestational age has been enough to give birth, she only lied that her birth is still six months according to the age of our marriage" explained Raffa.

Celina is flabbergasted, knowing Jessica lied to everyone to the point of slandering herself to support the lie. Every time he saw Tita, his heart felt sorry for the little girl. Worrying about the development of his body and soul.

"I married Jessica just to keep you from my mother's threats, I've been looking for you all along. Even when David found out that the one who was accused of harming Jessica was you, I hoped you would meet me" Raffa cupped Celina's face.

"But it is too late sir, I have received the proposal of someone who has been waiting for me for a long time. I'm sorry, it's best that from now on we forget each other" said Celina removing Raffa's hand from her face, about to pass from it.

"No, I'm not willing, I've been waiting for you too, don't expect me to forget you, I'll never let you go" the man said.

Steps ceased.

"One more thing, let alone being engaged, married, you will still be mine" said Raffa then continued his steps.

Celina could only look at the man, walking past him. Looks like Raffa pulled out his phone.

"David, come to the store, accompany Tita" he ordered as he climbed down the stairs and left the store.

Celina looked at her empty ring finger, the proof of the mark she received Kevin's proposal was gone. The girl lamented the loss of a ring she could use to keep Raffa away from her.

After thinking all day, Celina decided to look for the exact same ring she had lost. Celina did not want to feel frightened every time she looked at Kevin.

Celina searched through several jewelry stores, from big to small, from famous stores to almost invisible ones.

But it was hard for him to find a ring similar to Kevin's. Let alone similar, at a glance people will realize that the ring is different because of its size, the shape is not the same or because the amount of luster produced is different.

Celina was almost desperate to find a jewelry store that had a ring that was very, very similar to her missing ring. Celina was very surprised to find out the price of the diamond ring.

My savings of so many years ran out just to buy this one ring, inner Celina exhaled a heavy breath.

Celina returned to the store, the girl was glued when she saw David standing watching Tita. Personal Assistant Mr. Raffa was found to have arrived there to accompany his superior's daughter.

Suddenly the man looked at her, then smiled towards Celina. Greeting Celina very politely as before, David was someone who respected others regardless of status.

"It turns out to be true, you are Miss Celina whom I used to know. Mr. Raffa recounted his meeting with you as we went on a business trip to the island of Batam" David said eagerly starting their conversation.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. David here" said Celina.

David nodded.

"It was only a few minutes late today, I almost found the lady at the restaurant where the lady worked first" David continued, recalling the past.

"I'm still like you used to be sir, there's no need to call me miss" Celina said with a smile.

"Oh yeah sorry, I forgot" David said briefly.

"At that time, it was Miss Tita's birthday, Mr. Raffa was convinced that the servant who was accused of harming Madam Jessica was just the one who wanted to be her scapegoat. So I was sent to find the servant in question.

When you hear your name called I immediately ask for your photo to the restaurant manager to make sure.

And it turned out to be true, the servant who had left was precisely the one we were looking for.

Until now, Mr. Raffa still keeps your job application and your photo in his office desk drawer" David's story at length.

The man who is a confidant as well as Raffa's best friend really knows all about Raffa's life. David knows exactly how Raffa feels about Celina. The man recounted all Raffa's suffering as long as he could not find the girl.

"Mr Raffa is not an easy person to fall in love, once loved he will not easily let go. That's how Mr. Raffa has been feeling for years with Madame Jessica. Even though the madam betrayed her many times, she always forgave and accepted.

Mr. Raffa can only vent his disappointment at those women in return for Jessica's mistress's affair with him" David explained as his eyes kept a close eye on Tita.

Raffa replies to Jessica's affair by playing with another woman. Celina is one of the girls who becomes the victim of Raffa's anger.

"But since knowing you, Mr. Raffa has changed. At least he was not tempted to approach other women. Mr. Raffa is very concerned about his loyalty and the sanctity of his love for you" explained David.

Celina silently listened.

"You know for yourself what the sacrifice was to save you was not it ? but you are separated, do you think Mr Raffa will let you stay away from him after a long life of suffering because of your loss ?" ask David.

Celina shed tears, no matter how much she wanted to live with Raffa. Can't make him forget his promise of receiving love from Kevin. Fate has truly separated them.

Kevin who had left the store, when the man was no longer able to look at the behavior of the two people he loved. Celina, the woman who had stolen his heart and Raffa his only dear friend had even been considered like his brother.

Celina, you have betrayed me, betrayed our engagement, cried Kevin.

Kevin has been trying to ignore Celina's dishonest attitude regarding her relationship with Raffa, which covers up who the real father of her child is. Celina has long known the friendship between Kevin and Raffa.

Today Kevin saw for himself they secretly met on the third floor. Making Tita an excuse to go to the store, Raffa again approached the girl he had slept with and left for more than five years.

Suddenly Alyssa came and waved at Celina who was talking to David.

"You're here Al, what's the need ?" celina asked as soon as she saw Alyssa enter from the shop door.

Alyssa stared in full search at the handsome man who was in front of Celina. Celina immediately smiled and introduced them.

"This is Mr. David, Mr. Raffa's confidant. Mr. David is accompanying Mr. Raffa's daughter" Celina said to dispel Alyssa's suspicions.

"Sir David, this is Alyssa my best friend" Celina told David.

David immediately reached out politely to Alyssa, the girl welcoming the handshake of the handsome man. David smiled, Alyssa was wrong. The girl immediately looked for something she needed.

"I ran out of HVS paper so come here, I forgot to leave the same big brother" said Alyssa, wanting to immediately find the items she needed.

Celina held Alyssa's hand.

"Yes, you didn't meet him ?" ask Alyssa wonder.

Alyssa was surprised, obviously Kevin asked permission to use his car to go to the bookstore. But Kevin did not meet Celina.

"I didn't see it" Celina said softly.

Celina remembered something, she was with Raffa on the third floor.

Could it be that brother saw us ? Oh no, what would he think if he saw us, oh no. No, Celina's heart screams.

Alyssa patted Celina's shoulders looking dreamy, the girl asked where she could find the paper she needed. Celina's confusion answered Alyssa's question that she hadn't heard at all.

"You why ? I'm in a daze" asked Alyssa.

"It's okay, you want to find HVS right ? I take it" Celina said straight away from it, even leaving David without looking.

Celina was upset after knowing Kevin was coming to the store. The two men came at the same time. Celina's mind immediately panicked, she did not want Kevin to know about his relationship with Raffa that he had hidden.

The girl was mentally preparing to tell her all about her relationship with Raffa. But now it was too late, Kevin had found out for himself. Celina was afraid Kevin would misunderstand her.

Celina brought back the paper that Alyssa needed.

"Is there anything else you need ?" tanya Celina still looked dazed.

Alyssa shook her head, Celina directly walked over to the cashier to pay. Alyssa was confused directly after Celina.

"You are why the hell, immediately play live so alone" said Alyssa while looking at David.

Celina also turned to the direction Alyssa pointed at, the girl realized she had forgotten about David just like that. Alyssa paid a farewell to David after paying for his paper, leaving Celina with her mind drifting off somewhere.

The girl also apologized to David who just left her. For David of course it is not a problem because he does not need to always be accompanied. But leaving David in the middle of the conversation made Celina feel bad.

The unpleasant feelings carried over to the house, even when they had dinner together. Celina was more silent. Kevin's attitude that behaved as usual could not change his mood at all. Even Kevin's chat with Ozora felt like he was investigating.

"That dong, the ring must be worn, do not remove again yes" said Alyssa.

Kevin turned his head to look at Celina's finger, the girl hurriedly hid her hand. Trying to behave accordingly.

Celina, you are unceasingly lying to me, Inner Kevin.

Kevin grabbed the girl's hand, then rubbed the ring with his thumb, making Celina feel terrorized.

"I want to take you to the apartment tonight" Kevin told Celina.

"Tonight ? what's up, brother ?" ask Celina.

"I want you to pick something for me" Kevin said.

Celina looked at Alyssa, who was stared at just smiling.

"Another surprise ?" alyssa asked, Kevin just smiled.

"Why do you have to tonight, brother ?" ask Celina.

"I want to get it done" said Kevin.

Finally Celina nodded in agreement, the guilty girl did not dare to reject Kevin's wishes. They ask Alyssa to look after Ozora, then drive towards Kevin's apartment, during the trip they are more silent.

Arriving at the apartment Kevin walked leisurely towards the room, followed by Celina. Kevin locked the door, Celina was shocked to see Kevin's attitude but the girl tried to be calm.

"What should I choose ?" ask Celina.

Trying to calm her heart that was beginning to feel afraid seeing the way Kevin looked at her. Kevin brandished their engagement ring in front of Celina. The girl was shocked to see that the ring she was looking for was in Kevin's hands.

"I want you to choose the real engagement ring or the fake engagement ring" asked Kevin.

Celina covered her mouth with both hands, panicking. The girl's tears instantly flowed, Kevin knowing his lie about the ring. Kevin went forward while continuing to show the ring, Celina moved backwards.

"How much money did you spend to cover up your lies ?" ask Kevin.

"You got rid of this ring just because you wanted to see him ? so that he doesn't know your status ? you still so expecting it ?" clasped Kevin in an increasingly raised voice.

The look on his face was full of anger, yet a clear speck fell from the corner of his eye.

Celina could only shake her head while crying. The girl could not give an explanation for the incident. How could she let go of the ring, which Celina knew, had absolutely no intention of purposely getting rid of the ring.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I really don't want to see him" he said sobbing.

Now Celina is convinced, Kevin has learned of his relationship with Raffa.

"LIED !!! you cover it up on purpose, because you always expect it, because you don't want to forget it, because you want to go back to it" Kevin said in a loud voice.

"No, I'm not like that, I really want to forget it" Celina said in a trembling voice.

Kevin laughed then slammed the ring in his hand, Celina was surprised. The man quickly took off his shirt. Celina was wide-eyed, immediately the girl ran towards the door. But Kevin grabbed his hand and pushed the girl down in bed.

Kevin walked over to her, Celina turned around to crawl down from the bed. But Kevin managed to pull his leg until the girl returned to the middle of the bed. Kevin overstretched the girl's body and held both of her hands.

Celina screamed, thrashed, Kevin laughed.

"You like violence, don't you ? like people who force you, you can't forget them because of that ?" kevin asked as he brought his face closer to Celina's face.

"So don't you realize, big sister isn't that kind of person" Celina screamed with her tears continuously flowing.

"I can be like that, I can be like what you want" he said.

Kevin pulled the collar of Celina's shirt making some buttons of the girl's shirt come off.

"No brother... Don't" Celina's shriek was getting thrashed.

"How long has he kept you ? how many times has he done it to you ? I CAN DO MORE THAN THAT !!!"

Celina screamed in fear, the man seemed like he could no longer be resuscitated. Celina was crying.

Kevin kissed the girl violently, Celina thrashed but it made Kevin more violent. The man kissed the entire neck of Celina that had been opened.

"Girls like you, how can you make me like this ?" kevin looked at the face of Celina below him.

Her tears dripped, Kevin cried, Celina was stunned staring at the man's sadness.

"WHY ? WHY ? WHY MAKE ME BEG YOU" cried Kevin suddenly.

The man tried to take off Celina's shirt.

"No. don't brother, I beg you" said Celina.

" What else do you want to keep HAH...

L'M... A CEO... WHY BEGGING FOR LOVE FROM A DIRTY GIRL LIKE YOU !!!" scream Kevin.

Celina was stunned, Kevin's words resuscitated her.

Right, I'm a dirty girl, what else do I keep, I don't have any honor anymore, inner Celina.

The girl stopped struggling to let Kevin take off all the buttons on his shirt. Kevin looked at the resigned Celina and then put his lips back together, hugging her tightly back to soak the sweet lips of the girl who kept crying.
