Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 3 ~ Rescue ~

Celina looked at Raffa who was leaving the villa, the ice pick still pointing towards her neck. After the sound of Raffa's car away then the girl lowered the ice crusher.

The girl sat down, her body still trembling, not expecting to experience something like this, her lips deathly pale. His hands were cold as ice, reckless ? the girl was not reckless, but was too resigned to her life so she preferred to die as a way out.

The girl felt that there was no point in her life, that wealth was not hers, that her biological family had never known her, that her best friend had plunged her.

No, it's not Maura's fault, she just wants to help me, the decision is on me, I decide to work there, it's all my fault.

The only thing that made the girl regret pointing that sharp object at her neck was Tina and the sisters in the parlour. That thing could make Celina unable to fulfill her promise to make them happy.

The shadow of Tina's gentle face and the innocent smile of the sisters almost made the girl weak.

But the face full of anger in front of him was pushing Celina to keep the thing on her neck.

Keeping the sharp object out of his neck will make Raffa come closer and the girl does not know what the man will do to her.

The man finally left, half his life was saved, only half, because the other half had been destroyed. There is only an empty body worthless.

Celina stood up, remembering having to look for her clothes. He had to find it in order to get away from this Villa. Raffa left the door open, Celina must leave immediately before the man returns.

The villa was huge, where she had to look, slowly Celina searched in every room, cupboard, drawer, the girl was almost desperate, it was impossible to come out with such a white cloth.

Celina stepped into the mini bar, the place she had not yet searched for was that place. Celina looked around, the various brands of drinks neatly arranged there.

Celina exhaled heavily, the girl only looked at the shelves of drink bottles, Celina stepped out of the mini bar. However, his eyes found a small cupboard at the bottom of the table. The girl immediately opened it, the girl smiled, her clothes found.

The man must have just thrown into the closet while enjoying his drink, Celina thought.

Celina no longer needed to think about whatever the man was doing, the girl immediately put on her clothes and immediately passed from the place.

Celina stepped on a small pebbled street, a special path reserved for heading to the villa. Celina had reached the highway but the road was very quiet. There were no cars passing by or people who could be questioned. Celina believes this street is a suburban street and the girl has never been to this area

There was no one there, nor did the girl know which direction to take. No buses or public transport passing through. Celina saw an unkempt stop, the girl rested there while watching the streets.

Finally from a distance a private car was seen, the girl wanted to hitchhike, in the heart of the girl praying that the driver was a good person who would help her.

If you do not want to give a ride at least the girl wants to ask the direction of the road that must be occupied. The stopped car reduced the speed at which the girl approached, wanting to ask the driver.

But the girl stopped asking when she saw the people in the car. Some young man smiled strangely at her.

"You hitchhiking?" ask the driver.

"No, sorry, I think my friend's car, thank you" Celina said backwards.

"We can be your friends, come on" said the young man sitting in the back.

Celina shook her head then stepped back to the stop. There was a car door closing and footsteps following.

No, please go, go, do not follow me, cried Celina.

"Miss come with us, we'll take you" a voice came from behind.

Celina quickened her pace but the sound of that step sounded fast. Celina panicked, the girl ran. But suddenly someone's hand clasped the girl's wrist hard.

"Don't be afraid we're good people" he said, coding his friends, others replying with a nod.

"No, I want to go back, I want to wait for my friend" Celina said trembling.

Celina tried to release her hand from the man's grip politely. But the man tightened his grip. Celina was getting more panicked, the four men were surrounding her.

One of them began to push him towards the man in front of him. The man greeted Celina's body while laughing. Celina cried, the girl could no longer overcome her fear.

"Replace dong" said another man.

Instantly the man pushed Celina's body towards the man.

The man who had just spoken directly greeted Celina with a hug and a kiss. The girl nodded, crying. While others laughed at the aggressive behavior of his friend.

However, suddenly the sound of laughter was changed by the sound of a punch. One of the men fell, the others immediately turned to the direction of the punch, including Celina.

Raffa threw a circular kick at one of the men in front of him. Kick sideways at the person next to him. Raffa pulled Celina's hand away.

The girl followed shakily, Celina finally stood away. One of them pulled out a folding knife and started pointing it at Raffa. Raffa dodged and launched a kick at the man holding the knife.

The man fell down but another delinquent threw his fist at Raffa right about him. The man staggered, greeted with a knife on his stomach. Raffa's clothes were torn, blood soaked the tear. Celina screamed, Raffa stared intently at the delinquent.

"I won't let you guys take the girl, she's mine" Raffa said staring at them.

"Don't interfere in our business, who are you ?" ask one of them.

"I'm her husband" Raffa replied definitely.

They laughed in disbelief, then attacked again. Raffa defended and attacked, several punches and kicks hit the reliability but Raffa also suffered quite heavy injuries.

Raffa was hit until he fell. Raffa looked at Celina then said..

"Run" he said as someone pulled his collar and dealt a blow to his stomach, blood rushing from the scar.

Celina shook her head, the girl was confused. Leaving Raffa who had put their lives at risk to help him or staying in that place at the risk of the delinquents would bring him if Raffa could be defeated.

"Run" cried the man again.

Celina cried, the girl shook her head. Raffa also shed tears. The man was afraid of not being able to survive. Punch after punch hit his body. Raffa looked at Celina who was just crying, not budging a bit from her place.

The man was reckless, attacking blindly, after all he had to save the girl who did not want to leave him. Raffa managed to snatch the knife in the man's hands and retaliated against their attack.

One fell unconscious, in the other. Another tried to escape but got a kick from behind, the delinquent fell, another tried to survive, woke up another delinquent. Raffa gave a kick and hit his head, they fainted on the street.

Raffa also collapsed, the man had shed a lot of blood. Celina ran straight towards him. The girl was crying, looking at Raffa's wounds that had soaked most of the man's clothes.

Celina immediately swept him into the car. Celina sits on the steering wheel but the girl panics because she has absolutely no idea how to run such a sports car.

Celina had only studied for a while at a friend who owned a workshop. It also uses an old car. The badly injured Raffa looked at the girl then smiled. Turning on the engine of the car then nods asking the girl to try to run the car.

Celina moved the gears then stepped on the gas, it was difficult at first. The girl was not used to steering well, lucky the streets were deserted. Sometimes the speed is high sometimes slow, Raffa laughed a little and then grimaced in pain, his face looks pale.

"Back to Villa" he said slowly.

"What ? you have to go to the hospital" Celina said trying to turn around.

"Ke Villa, I..., did not want to go home..., sick" he said stammering, the man tried to stay conscious.

"No, the wound of the master must be handled by the doctor we must go to the hospital" said Celina who was getting used to driving but did not dare to be too tight.

"Ke Villa" shouted Raffa as he could.

"Why not going to the hospital, your wounds must be sewn" said Celina also screaming frantically at the blood that continues to flow profusely from a torn wound in Raffa's stomach.

"You, will leave me.., I..., do not want, I.., I..., want to be with you" said the man then fainted.

Celina panicked, the girl immediately sped up the speed of her car. He didn't care anymore, a car accident or losing a lot of blood both put the man in danger. Hurriedly the girl asked the direction of the hospital and then drove to the direction indicated.

Celina hit a large flower pot of the hospital while stopping her car, the girl did not care to run straight to the emergency room asking for help.

The medics took Raffa in a gurney, immediately taking medical action. Celina was waiting in the waiting room. The girl was very panicked, afraid of being late for help, afraid that Raffa could not survive.

"Miss Celina isn't it?" shouted a nurse.

Celina was shocked that someone recognized her, but obviously the girl did not recognize the nurse.

"Yes right, Miss Celina who went missing a few days ago" said the nurse sure.

Celina is confused.

"There's a news story, Miss is rumored to be missing after quitting work from a nightclub right? the police are looking for the lady" he said again.

The sister was sure to even immediately look for a TV channel that was reporting the loss.

"Even someone thought that Miss was killed" he said again.

"What?" celina screams while standing forward observing the news broadcast on the TV attached to the hospital wall.

"I often follow the news of the lady, I wonder if she is a victim of kidnapping or rape accompanied by murder" she continued.

"What?" celina's screams are getting louder.

That master, he did kidnap and.., ah.., Celina's heart scream did not dare to continue her own thoughts.

But he.., must not.., no one should know what he did, otherwise he could be accused, he could be in prison, inner Celina with her chest tightened.

"What happened, miss? ah.., miss, if that's what I call my sister yes, she's a local journalist, miss can confirm the disappearance of the lady a few days ago" he said directly calling her brother.

"No, no, I'm not missing, I don't need anything confirmed" she said, wanting to leave but she wanted to stay there to wait for clarity.

Celina is confused, the girl wants to wait for Raffa, but does not want to be questioned. What's he supposed to say? That the man who helped her was her kidnapper and rapist?

He's really not ready to be questioned. The girl was about to leave. Suddenly someone confronted him and immediately showered him with questions.

"It turns out you are indeed Miss Celina who went missing a few days ago, what happened miss?" ask the reporter.

Celina was confused to answer.

"What is the lady doing here?" the reporter turned to another question.

"I'm dropping someone off" he said, answering the question.

"Who is that guy?" ask the reporter again.

"I.., I don't know her name" Celina replied honestly.

"Why did the lady drive him? what the hell happened to him? what does this have to do with Miss?" ask the reporter.

"He..., he's hurt, for helping me?" answer Celina honestly.

"Then he is the savior of the miss? does he have anything to do with Miss's disappearance?" ask the reporter.

"No.., uh yeah she's my savior, but she has nothing to do with my disappearance" Celina replied nervously.

"Actually I'm not missing" he said, suddenly thinking about it.

"I just go for a walk.. eh I mean vacation?" answer Celina.

"But I'm so pickled that it's hard to go home. I tried asking for help but nothing helped, so I went home on foot. In the middle of the road I met a group of young men mm. They annoyed me and the master came to help" Celina finally managed to piece together a story from the incident she had with the reporter.

The reporter was very excited to hear and record Celina's words. His face sparkled because it got exclusive news because it was confirmed by the person directly concerned. Celina hopes her story is the best for her as well for Raffa.

"What about those delinquents? how's things going? do you want to make a claim?" ask the reporter again.

Celina thought the reporter was done with her question. However, the reporter still asked the question, the girl again had to think of an answer that did not harm anyone.

"I don't know, I think they're fine, I don't intend to sue. Because I myself forgot their faces, it all happened so.., sorry I think quite yes, I can not answer the question again" said Celina wanted to pass immediately from the front of the reporter.

The girl was afraid that the more she asked, the more she could not find answers. And again Celina is still worried about Raffa's condition. The girl looked towards the room where Raffa was handled by the paramedics.

The girl was down, what she had done. Celina shed tears, helping the person who had ruined her life. Seeking an alibi to save the man from charges of kidnapping and rape against him.

The girl sobbed, the young nurse approached her, trying to calm her down. The nurse thought Celina was terrified of the man's condition.

Yes and no, yes because the girl was really worried about the condition of the man and not because the girl was also crying over her own fate. A little while later the doctor came out of the room, Celina immediately came over and asked.

"Thank God the operation went well" the doctor said.

"Operation?" celina asked in wonder because it could be like that medical action taken.

"Yes, we did laparotomy surgery to stop the bleeding and repair the damage to the internal organs of the abdomen" the doctor replied.

Celina was shocked to cover her mouth with both hands.

"Is that so bad?" ask the girl again.

"You didn't realize that? the injuries to the patient were very severe. It causes severe bleeding and can be life threatening to the patient. Fortunately the patient was immediately taken to the hospital, if not his life could be floated" said the doctor then passed.

Celina was still dumbfounded, covering her mouth trembling at the doctor's explanation. The girl shed tears imagining the worst. However, the girl was grateful for finally deciding to take the man to the hospital.

Celina decided to leave. The girl set foot slowly towards the public transport terminal which could take her back to the dormitory. Along the way the girl thought about the situation of the man who had helped her. After seeing the man transferred to the treatment room, Celina decided to go home.
