Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 35 ~ Court ~

Mrs. Rowenna announced Ozora as Raffa Saltano's biological child through a press conference she held just as Raffa and Celina as Ozora's biological parents were still attending an event on an island.

Kevin wanted to listen to Alyssa's explanation further but the phone call would not be enough to explain the situation. Kevin decided to go home soon.

"We have to go home soon, your family takes custody of Ozora" Kevin told Raffa.

Hearing that Celina ran away from Raffa's room without thinking about anything else, the girl immediately tidied up all her belongings.

Kevin immediately told Keira, who could only look at everyone who suddenly looked panicked.

"Keira, we have to go home. The next event I leave to the committee, if anyone asks where we are, please say we go home because of something urgent" said Kevin.

Keira agreed, Kevin nodded at Raffa who was also getting ready to head home. Kevin runs to his room and sees Celina tidying up her clothes like a man in fidelity.

The girl piled up all in the suitcase, throwing all her travel gear, without thinking about anything else. Kevin grabbed the shoulder of the girl whose mind was like it was not in this world.

"Celina.patient, patient Celina" said Kevin.

Trying to look into Celina's empty eyes, her mind had drifted first to the Saltano family's residence.

"I need to get there, I need to get Ozora back. Ozora... OZORA MY SON !!!" celina screams blindly.

"YES.. No one can take your child but you have to be calm !!" scream Kevin.

Celina was stunned, her tears flowing. The girl will regret her whole life going to the event that caused her to have to leave her child.

"I won't let Aunt Rowenna take your son, trust me" Kevin told Celina.

Kevin checked his phone notification, the man managed to get a ticket home. Kevin called Raffa asking for the man's readiness.

"I didn't find Jessica, I left her a message. I'm waiting in the lobby now" Raffa said.

Kevin and Celina rush to the hotel lobby, where they meet Raffa. Rushing towards the airport, Kevin, Raffa and Celina manage to fly in the fastest departure hour plane they can get.

Shortly after, they arrived at the Saltano family's residence. Raffa went straight to his mother, Miss. Rowenna who was sitting behind her desk smiled at her son who had returned.

"Mommy where's Ozora ?" ask Raffa without further ado.

Mrs. Rowenna who had guessed what her son would ask was just smiling knots.

"There's a safe place" Rowenna replied.

"Say where ? at Villa ? Which villa ? I'll bring him back" Raffa said with a gasp of breath.

"No way, before the decision to transfer custody to his biological father came out, Ozora would not be able to be found by anyone" Rowenna said.

"Somehow mommy let such a small child be separated from her mother for the sake of mommy's ambition to master it" Raffa shouted.

"It's for you, you love Ozora don't you ? mommy just wants to ease your way to be able to continue with her" Rowenna said.

"But not by separating Ozora from her mother" cried Raffa.

Suddenly the sound of the door opening wide, Celina appeared from there, as did Kevin. Rowenna was shocked to see them gathered together to face him.

"Tante, I beg your aunt to return Ozora to Celina" Kevin said.

"Kevin, auntie is glad you came to visit but Ozora's problem you have absolutely nothing to do here. You can go" said Rowenna friendly yet haughty.

"Celina is my future wife and Ozora is her child, I have something to do here auntie" Kevin said firmly.

"Good then, you may bring your future wife. He can have another child from you, so there's no need to expect Ozora anymore" Rowenna said without looking at Kevin and Celina.

Raffa bowed at the conversation, there was a poignant feeling in his heart. Kevin clearly stated Celina was his future wife, firmly stating the girl was his. Raffa regrets his attitude that cannot be like Kevin.

"Mrs, do you remember me. I, was the girl that the mistress humbled back then, the girl who should not be the slightest bit close to the son of the mistress.

Isn't the madam herself the one who wants me to stay away from the madam's family ?

Now give Ozora to me, I'll go, I'll go away from the madam's family" Celina said.

Mrs. Rowenna stood up from her chair, walking towards Celina who was standing between Kevin and Raffa. Stop right in front of the girl. Her gaze sharply pierced into Celina's eyes, the girl trembled yet tried to stay afloat.

I must be strong, I must not look weak in her eyes, inner Celina.

Mrs. Rowenna was still staring at Celina, Kevin and Raffa were looking out for what she was going to do. Rowenna's.

"You want to negotiate with me ?

You think you have the right to talk ?

If you want to go no one forbids you, but Ozora she is my descendant. He has to stay with me" Rowenna said with a cynical laugh, then returned to her chair.

Raffa came closer to his mother's table.

"I am his biological father, I have the right to determine that Celina will take care of Ozora" Raffa said.

Kevin did not stay silent, the man also advanced to the front of the table. Rowenna's.

"If the aunt insists on separating Ozora from her mother then we can sue the aunt for violations of child protection laws, because every child has the right to know his parents, to be raised, and to be cared for by his own parents.

So anyone has no right to hide a child from his mother or forbid his mother to meet her child" Kevin threatened.

"I've done it, I've made that claim. As you mentioned earlier, every child has the right to know his parents, to be raised, and to be cared for by his own parents.

What did your future wife do ? he has been hiding Ozora from his father for almost six years, Ozora has lost the right to be raised and nurtured by his own father" Rowenna said with a slanted smile.

Raffa, Kevin and Celina are shocked, hearing Mrs threat. Rowenna is suing Celina for violating the child protection law.

"I am a good and wise man, as my thanks for giving birth to my offspring then I will withdraw my claim on condition, you agree if Ozora's custody is given to Raffa, her biological father" rowenna said with a sharp eye and a deadly smile.

"So see you in Ozora's custody court" she continued. Rowenna is confident.

Despite trembling and with fear in her heart, Celina advanced slowly conveying her threat to Ny. Rowenna's.

"But don't forget the madam, the mistress can also be charged with a criminal article, who willfully withdraw an immature person from the power that the law dictates over him, or from the supervision of the person authorized to it, threatened with a maximum imprisonment of seven years.

And an article says a child who is not yet twelve years old is the right of his mother.

So as long as the child is under twelve years old, then the mother is entitled to custody of her child" said Celina recalled Ny. Rowenna's.

"See you in court" Celina continued.

Then step away from the workspace. Rowenna, followed by Kevin and Raffa. Mrs. Rowenna clenched her hand, hitting her desk. Even slammed everything in front of him.

Celina smiled when she heard the sound of broken things falling. Mrs. Rowenna was not willing to give up her son, not willing to tell him where Ozora was even to charge him.

Celina could not dodge the threat, even though her body was trembling and her hands were cold, inevitably Celina had to serve Ny's wishes. Rowenna's.

"Are you okay ?"

"Are you okay ?"

Kevin and Raffa asked.

The girl looked at them in turn.

"Let's go home" Kevin said at last.

Celina nodded, Raffa let go of Celina's hand. The girl looked at Raffa.

"I go home first sir" Celina told Raffa.

The man nodded slowly, his face looking gloomy. Raffa feels he is just the past for Celina. The man looked at Kevin and the speeding Celina disappearing behind the gate.

Raffa stepped slowly towards her room, Miss. Rowenna looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Why should you challenge me ? what I did was to get your baby.

Why do you have to fight me ?" shouted Rowenna astonished.

"I couldn't have separated the boy from his mother" Raffa said.

"But you are her father and all this time have been lied to by the girl. Secretly controlling Ozora alone when the child has the right to know who his father is" Rowenna said.

"I used to want to marry her a lot but mommy forbade me from even expelling her in a demeaning way.

Now that mommy wants her son, is that fair to her ?" raffa asked as she walked up the stairs to her room.

"I don't care, the important thing is that you have to support me in getting custody of the child" Rowenna shouted.

Raffa had passed into his room, where the man broke out in tears that he had been holding since. Celina the girl he loved, who he had always loved since he first met her, now belonged to his best friend.

While Kevin and Celina have arrived at his house, Alyssa opens the door for them and gets busy with the spectacle. Seen in the face that does not show enthusiasm to welcome the arrival of Kevin and Celina.

Kevin approached his sister, the man asked for understanding for their attitude that was not open to Alyssa.

"I feel like I'm being treated like a fool, I'm telling you about our relationship with Raffa and his family but he still covers up his relationship with that man.

Even we accept his son without caring where he comes from.

But he actually covered it so that he could still control his brother" said Alyssa annoyed.

"Alyssa was enough, Celina didn't mean it that way" Kevin said.

"Sister, if at that time you know the child that Celina's birth is Raffa's older sister, will you still love her ?

Will you still accept the woman who was once an impingement****rather Raffa's brother ? " ask Alyssa.

"SUFFICIENT !!! I don't want to talk to you if you don't improve your way of speaking, after all, she's my fiancee, my future wife" Kevin told his sister.

Alyssa was upset, went from the living room and entered her room by slamming the door. While Celina held her mouth with all her might so as not to let out a cry.

Kevin opened the door of Celina's room, staring at the girl's body that was shaking holding back tears. Kevin approached her hugging the girl sitting on the bed. Kevin perfectly understood how sad Celina was, today was a hard day for him.

Find his son who has been captured by a family of men who have ignored him and now have to accept the fact that his dear friend has hated him.

"I'm sorry Alyssa, she hasn't been able to accept this reality. I think we should be aware of his feelings for Raffa.

Alyssa liked it and hated it. It's only natural that he's upset that we've covered your relationship with that man" Kevin comforted Celina.

"Shall I get out of here ? I feel guilty for lying to her" Celina said with tears streaming down.

"No, you just have to win her heart and she will forgive you.

Just like you did to me, winning my heart and you always make me forgive you" Kevin said with a smile.

"How do I do that ?" ask Celina.

"Just be yourself, slowly he will feel your sincerity" Kevin said as he dyed the top of the girl's hair.

The long-awaited day arrives, Celina must attend a court hearing on Ozora's custody. And of course, Mrs. Rowenna has chosen the services of the best child custody lawyer to win her lawsuit.

During the trial, documents and witness testimony became an important key in winning child custody.

Celina is a little calm if considering the age of Ozora who is still under twelve years old has a high chance that child custody will fall into her hands.

But it is not closed the possibility given to the father if the mother has bad behavior, and is considered incompetent to be a mother, especially in educating her children.

If a father wants child custody to fall to him then he must prove the trial that the mother of the child is unable to guarantee the welfare of the good child

physical or spiritual.

Along with the development of time and the renewal of the law, the legal provisions set by the law also give way to the transfer of child custody from mother to father because of the child's interest factors that want it.

The judge has the authority to determine which party is entitled

obtain child custody by looking at facts and evidence, therefore

not always mothers get the right to be a babysitter for various reasons. As if in the trial process found the fact that the mother of the child

it is a person who has behavior that can have a bad influence on the child.

It was used by Mrs. Rowenna to defeat Celina. Mrs. Rowenna even called a witness to Celina's friends and the people who were around Celina's residence.

Mrs. Rowenna presents Maura and the people who work at the nightclub as witnesses, with the lure of expensive pay they testify that Celina had done a disgraceful deed during her time as a waitress at the Night Club.

Plus the people who are witnesses on the Ny's side. Rowenna testified that they knew Celina lived with a man without being bound by a legitimate marriage.

The judge before making a decision will do so

local examination of the parties concerned by looking at the facts revealed in the trial with the best interests of the child, prioritizing, dig the track record of the child's parents and conduct local checks to see the reality that occurs in the field.

Although the custody of minors is in the hands of their mothers. That based on these considerations the assembly argued that there were strong indications the plaintiff's son with the defendant in the future would be affected by his mother's past and lifestyle.

Based on the existing considerations, based on the arguments and evidence of facts that are met by the applicant, the panel of judges who handle this case argues that custody should be given to

plaintiff as his biological father.

"No. no. I don't accept, it's a lie, I don't accept. Ozora is my son" Celina cried.

"I also do not accept this decision, I as his biological father stated that I cannot afford to take care of Ozora, and I decided to give back custody of the child to his mother, Celina" said Raffa firmly.
