Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 31 ~ Go Only~

That night Celina came back to her house with a bad feeling. Lying to Kevin made his heart uneasy. Sitting behind the wheel of a dark car in the garage. Confused, what to do. Panicked and immediately wanted to see Raffa the girl chose to lie.

Just want to get out of there to see Raffa ? no, it didn't feel like it, Celina lied to Kevin for not wanting to make the man's heart grieve. I don't want to make that guy jealous. Anything related to Raffa will make Kevin's heart worried.

Saying honestly to her wanting to see Raffa, what would she think ? Celina still wants to be with Raffa, Celina still loves Raffa, Celina doesn't care about her feelings ?

To be honest Celina didn't want to hurt her at all, the man who accepted her for who she was, the man who always helped her, comforted her, the man who always wanted to make her happy. But always hurt by her, Celina always felt Kevin's sadness.

And now what she had to do, every time she met Raffa, Celina always felt like a sinner, a liar, a traitor.

Can I be honest with him ?

I lied just to feel her feelings.

Sis, I don't deserve you, I always hurt your feelings.

Celina's mind screamed, but she couldn't reveal it. Almost an hour Celina sat behind the wheel, finally deciding to enter the house. Without any preparation to say, without any reason for his lies.

Celina just wanted to enter, she would just follow her heart, keep lying or confessing as well as what would happen later, the girl did not care, the girl resigned.

But when he saw Kevin who was sitting on the sofa with an empty look, made the girl finally turn to approach him. Sitting on the carpet in front of him, clasping the man's hands together, and sobbing in front of him.

"I'm sorry sister, I'm sorry" then Celina bowed sobbing.

"I lied, I went to see Mr Raffa" he said, crying as his body shook.

Kevin who had been frozen silently averted his eyes, looking at the crying Celina while resting before him.

Strange, Kevin's feelings that were burning, the feeling of anger because of being betrayed, lied to, just vanished. Celina admits to lying, making the man feel guilty.

I lied too, I know Raffa loves you.

I know Raffa wants you.

I know Raffa suffered your loss.

But I went into hiding, not being honest with Raffa about my feelings.

I'm just forcing you to care about my feelings.

While what Raffa wants makes it hard to weigh my feelings.

Why am I hiding from Raffa ?

Because I feel guilty about her ?

Is it because I love the girl he loves ?

I forced the girl he loved to be by my side ?

Kevin raised the chin of the downcast girl.

"I'm sorry" Kevin once again apologized.

Again the speech made Celina sobbing. Kevin smiled wiping away those tears, again wanting to reveal his heart.

"I'm not being honest with you either, not being honest with Raffa.

I hid, secretly loved the girl he loved.

I know he loves you but I'm forcing you to choose me.

Forgive my selfishness, forgive me for not being able to let you go" Kevin said.

The man pulled Celina's hand, asking the girl to sit next to him. Removing her tears, then embracing the girl.

Kevin hugged Celina, until the girl's feeling calmed down again. Pecking the top of the girl's hair then asked her something.

"Will you accompany me ?" ask Kevin.

"To la.gi apartment ?" asked Celina hesitated.

"To the hotel" Kevin said with a laugh, looking at Celina's expression.

"Attending the opening of a club, must come with a partner" continued Kevin.

"Finally accompanying my brother is immediately engaged, accompanying brother now what will happen ?" celina said as if talking to herself.

"Married or married" said Kevin laughed, Celina immediately pinched Kevin's waist.

"Okay.. ouch again.. again. "excited Kevin made Celina laugh loosely.

Kevin catches the girl and drops her on the couch.

"What's on your lips ?" asked Kevin who was lying next to Celina.

The girl reflexively wiped her lips, but got nothing. Kevin laughed, remembering the first time he kissed Celina. Pretend there's a mayonnaise on her lips, like a dejavu.

"That's not the way to remove it" said Kevin lowered Celina's hand.

"Look" he continued, sticking his lips together and then playing his tongue.

Celina receives Kevin's kiss while laughing.

"Mode" said Celina, who immediately made Kevin laugh.

They decided to get to the hotel the day before the event. Kevin swam in the private pool, while Celina sat on the edge of the pool while looking at the beautiful sea.

Celina fell asleep on the sofa on a comfortable outdoor balcony after enjoying the beautiful tropical view of the sea with the expanse of beautiful natural small islands. Kevin came out of the pool sitting beside Celina, looking at the peaceful sleeping girl. A gentle breeze flew her hair.

Can you be my wife soon ?

Can we be destined to be together ? inner Kevin.

For some reason even though Celina has become her fiance Kevin still feels doubt about the continuation of their relationship. Choosing to get married soon or waiting for Celina to be sure of her feelings.

Celina woke up, smilingly looking at Kevin.

"Later the evening of the show, later in the afternoon you can get ready for beauty treatments and decorations" said Kevin.

"Should I dance ?" asked Celina confused.

Girls who have been naturally beautiful are only used to using standard and natural makeup.

"Don't worry about it, I'll keep you company" Kevin replied.

Kevin likes the natural beauty of Celina but this time it is a special occasion, the girl should not look ordinary. In the afternoon Kevin and Celina have arrived at a beauty salon, there is also a luxury boutique providing all kinds of beautiful dresses.

Kevin asked a stylish fashion to choose an evening dress for Celina. Everything looks pretty when the girl tries it, to the point that Kevin wants to buy it all if Celina doesn't ban it.

Finally selected a beautiful dress but comfortable to wear Celina. Celina looked so beautiful and graceful that Kevin was not satisfied to look at her. Celina was misbehaved as the man looked at her from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head, the girl's face spitting out a reddish hue. Adding a pretty face to the shy girl.

Entering the location of the party that has been seen crowded by invited guests. Kevin holding Celina's hand walked over while smilingly greeting the invited guests.

The variety of food and beverage menu provided makes guests enjoy the night while chatting with friends or new acquaintances from major companies in the country.

In another part there is a banquet with the concept of Sitdown Dinner. This very exclusive value party also provides wine, invited guests can enjoy dinner while enjoying live music entertainment.

Most of the invited guests have known Kevin, both who he knew while still working in New York and while working in the country. The club members are mostly the successors of the family company.

"Kevin Melviano ? what does it mean" asked Celina.

"Kevin means to be born noble or noble" Kevin replied.

"Waah.." said Celina amazed.

"Melviano means honorable leader"

"Waaah.." said Celina more amazed.

"You don't like that, gemesin tau no, if I can't stand your nyium here how ?" whispered Kevin, Celina immediately had a frowned face made-up.

Kevin grabbed Celina by the waist, then walked back to greet the young executives there. Kevin was chatting with an acquaintance when he heard his name called.

Kevin looked over, as did Celina. Jessica is holding Raffa's hand. The four of them remained silent. Jessica kissed Kevin on the cheek. Celina lowered her head, turning her gaze the other way, while Raffa looked at Celina sharply.

"Kevin who is this ? her face looks familiar, is she a model "asked Jessica as she looked at Celina.

"She's my fiancee" Kevin replied briefly.

"Oh so you're really getting married ?" jessica Jokes.

Kevin smiled, Raffa was still staring at Celina, the girl just looked down dodged from Raffa's gaze. Kevin realizes the situation, soon the man offers Celina a drink. Celina nodded in agreement, Kevin went to take a drink.

"What's your name ?" ask Jessica again.

"Celina" said Celina briefly.

Celina glanced at Raffa, the man was still looking at her. Celina looked away, and Kevin was walking towards her desk, bringing drinks to Celina. Suddenly from the other direction a woman bumped into Kevin making the drink he was carrying spill over the girl's dress.

Kontan girl is on a blackboard, forcing Kevin to apologize. The innocent Kevin was not willing to apologize. Celina immediately stood up to approach.

"Don't underestimate me, because I came here alone" said the girl.

"Aren't you the partner of one of the CEOs here ?" ask Kevin.

"Heh, I'm the CEO, I don't need a partner to come here" said the girl again.

"No need or no need ?" asked Kevin, smiling cynically.

"Anyway you should apologize, for ruining my dress, or I will ask the president of this club to dismiss you from the members" she said.

Celina who saw the debate immediately took the girl, grabbed a bottle of fine salt on the table and then pulled the girl's hand to the toilet. The girl was shocked but followed Celina's steps.

"If it is not cleaned immediately the stains will not disappear" said Celina.

Celina soaks the folded tissue with clean water. On the back of the girl's dress, taped with dry tissue and then on the front stick with a tissue that has been moistened with water. This helps the girl to fade the red color without making the clothes wetter.

The part that was still stained immediately poured salt by him and rinsed it with cold water. Celina did it over and over until the stain faded on its own. While the girl was just silently observing, amazed by the way Celina overcame the problems that suddenly appeared.

"Are you ready ?" ask the girl.

"His engagement" Celina replied began to dry off the damp parts.

"You're wise, you're not like your fiancee, you're told to apologize for not wanting to" she said.

"Because he doesn't feel guilty, mm.. doesn't he ? usually I'm the wrong one, he's the one who apologizes" Celina said.

"Can it be like that ? why not apologize now ? I'm really going to complain to the president of this club and get him kicked out of this club" she said.

"You better not do it" Celina said.

"It's okay, so familiar with the president of this club will square him" said the girl.

"You will be ashamed of yourself later, after all I have helped you, at least be soft for my sake" said Celina again.

"This has nothing to do with you it's a matter of principle, I don't want to be underestimated" she replied again, Celina shaking her head

"But I saw you hit him" asked Celina.

"You said so because you're her fiance, so we must have defended her" the girl insisted, but there was doubt on her face.

The red wine stain was successfully removed, the girl thanked Celina.

"I'm Keira" said the girl introducing herself and thanking Celina.

Celina shook the girl's hand and mentioned her name. They smiled out of the toilet. Kevin immediately approached Celina and stared intently at the girl, instead the girl also stared intently at Kevin.

Celina told Kevin to end their fight. Kevin is obedient and coincidentally the event is about to begin.

The inauguration of the club finally began, Kevin was asked to give a speech.

Keira was flabbergasted and turned to Celina, not expecting Kevin to be the president of the club of the company's top level management people. The girl was planning to ask the man who was making the speech to fire himself ? where possible. Keira shrugged her shoulders looking at Celina, Celina laughed looking at her behavior.

The event continued with dinner together, Kevin, Celina, Jessica and Raffa sitting at the same table. They had dinner talking. Raffa and Celina were more silent. The only conversation was dominated by Jessica who was reciprocated occasionally by Kevin.

The show was over, some guests were still gathered talking while laughing. Especially those who have known for a long time, this event is like a special reunion for successful people.

The escorts have partly returned to their respective rooms, some are still enjoying the togetherness of fellow wives or lovers of the company leaders.

The escort ladies come from rich families, they are classy people and some also know each other, they are different from Celina.

And as the future wife of the club's president, of course, Celina is expected to join them. But Celina only responded with the usual attitude, not too interested in joining the women who are busy talking about brands of goods that are expensive. The higher the price, the more they will talk about it.

Celina chose to enjoy the atmosphere by taking a walk on the beach. The girl is not yet sleepy and Kevin is still at the hostage of fellow Stanford university grad friends.

"I'm not willing" said Raffa suddenly.

Celina turned her head, the girl was shocked not to think Raffa was next to her.

"Why didn't you tell me Kevin was your fiance ?" raffa said loudly.

"For what, nothing will change" Celina replied.

"I won't approve of you, I won't hand you over to him" Raffa said.

Raffa pulled Celina's hand and hugged her.

"Don't master, someone will look, let me go" Celina panicked.

"No. no. Although I have to die in Kevin's hands I don't care. I'm not going to let you go, I love you, I love you Celina" said Raffa, a speck of light dripping from her eye sling.

Sick, knowing the girl he loves belongs to someone he knows. The one who has been considered like his biological brother.

"If you were engaged to another man I wouldn't feel this kind of pain, I wouldn't care. I won't worry, you can definitely take it back. But why Kevin, out of this many men in the world why Kevin ?" raffa said, getting her embrace.

Bored Jessica was alone in the room, going to find Raffa. And Kevin who did not find Celina in the room wondered at the women who were still cool to gather, but they did not know.

"LET'S JUST GO"

There was someone talking loudly from the beach, Kevin came down on the wooden bridge. Jessica followed.

"We go away, away from those who want to separate us, me, you and Ozora. We go together" Raffa said in a panic.

Celina cries, Raffa tightens her embrace, ******* the girl's lips while continuing to shed her tears. Kevin halted his steps, dumbstruck, staring at them, Jessica was flabbergasted.
