Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 36 ~ Getting Back ~

Ny's Business. Rowenna to get custody of Ozora is not responsible. The female commissioner was even looking for people from Celina's past to support her testimony.

Maura, who remained a comfort woman at the club that night, was suddenly approached by a man dressed in a black suit. Of course the materialistic girl approached immediately, but Maura was actually invited to meet a woman half a century more who still looks beautiful.

"There is a need for what the madam wants to meet me" Maura asked while admiring the interior of the luxury car.

"Do you remember Celina ?" ask Rowenna.

"Of course, he was my friend back in college and in the night club. What's wrong, madam ?" ask Maura.

"I want you to help me" Rowenna said.

"What can I help you with ? I haven't seen him myself in a long time.

Since that horrendous night, which was the record for the most visitors in the night club, they raced to bid Celina's virginity until the price was fantastic, but it turns out she had stopped working.

Those visitors became angry with me because Celina could not be found while they were willing to provide money to buy Celina's virginity, they just vent their frustration on me.

Eh... when meeting on campus Celina was actually angry and even wanted to slap me. huh. basic do not know thank you.

The price I made went up even angry" said Maura.

Mrs. Rowenna noticed the girl in front of her, actually the rich mistress was completely unwilling to deal with such a low-class person. But for her purpose, ma'am. Rowenna was forced to pretend to be friendly to Maura's classmates.

Perfect, this girl could be my helper, her hatred for Celina could be used against her, Inner Rowenna.

"Mrs !!! from the time I spoke, it was no business, my time was up because of the mistress, time she money mistress" said Maura.

"Money doesn't matter, I can give you more if you want to help me" Rowenna said.

Maura displayed an astonished and enthusiastic face, everything that could make money for the girl was important.

"You can give Celina incriminating testimony so she can't get custody of my granddaughter" Rowenna said.

"Haaa... Celina has a child ? she's your granddaughter, madam ?" ask Maura.

"Yes, it used to be an accident but it was pregnant and secretly had my grandchildren" Rowenna said.

Maura is shocked to death, without knowing it at all Celina turns out to have had a child. To her knowledge Celina did not go to college again when she entered the fifth semester.

Maura who finally decided to drop out of campus did not know the news about Celina anymore. Likewise, when Celina returned to continue her studies until finally at graduation with the title of Summa Cumlaude, which means “With Highest Praise” or with the highest honor with a GPA of 3.9.

"What should I do ? testimony how ?" asked Maura curiously.

"You have to testify that during your time as a waitress at the night club the girl deliberately auctioned her virginity as she was horrendous at that time and managed to get customers with the highest offer" Rowenna said.

"All right then how ? after virginity, surely not a virgin anymore ? how's the story whether Celina left immediately or how ? because I heard he disappeared for a few days, how about you go to serve the man who managed to get his virginity" said Maura added the rotten idea.

"It's good that you're reliable, just calm down if you manage to convince the judge to assign my son as a custody holder, I'll add tips for you" Rowenna said.

"Rightly madam ? well I will come to court with my best elegant clothes that can charm the men in the courthouse" said Maura immediately dreamed.

"Don't ! instead you have to wear your most tacky and sexy clothes, I want to show the image of the girl a cheap woman not a high-class comfort woman" Rowenna said.

Maura grunts but eventually follows Ny's will. Rowenna's. The girl was also assigned to look for people who could be invited to work together to support her testimony.

The time of the trial came, Celina was very surprised when she saw Maura, the person who had not met for a long time suddenly appeared before her.

"Maura what are you doing here ?" celina asked in panic.

Celina got a bad feeling over the girl's appearance.

"I want to testify to your child's custody battle" Maura replied honestly.

"Who told you to ? what testimony will you give ?" celina asked in panic.

"That you once auctioned off your virginity and disappeared for a few days to serve your customers" she said casually.

"You know that's not true, I never did that, why did you give such testimony ?" said Celina with teary eyes.

"Truely or not I don't know, it could be that you actually accepted the offer but you don't want to be caught by me, you want to play alone, huh...who knows ?" said Maura.

"Your staff is Maura, I'm not like that, I'm not doing that" Celina's screams grew even more frantic.

"Where do I know, the news has been stirred and you are rumored to disappear, can make you go to serve the man right ?" maura said while looking at her nails.

"You're really mean, you can't do that, I can lose my son. Maura remembers that we were good friends" Celina said.

The girl couldn't stand Maura's attitude, Celina started to cry.

"YES..! I'm evil, why should I think about your problems, didn't you say that you don't have friends like me ?" maura said in a high voice.

Celina bowed, the girl cried. At that time Celina really hates Maura because of the rumors she spreads, Celina every day has to face a brash man to her until finally it appears Raffa who kidnapped and raped her.

Celina sat in the courtroom listening to all the testimonies. Which even comes from people she doesn't know, mentioning Celina and Kevin are a couple who live together without any marriage ties.

Celina denied as much as possible but the girl could not provide proof of objection because it concerned the good name of Raffa.

All the testimonies cornered Celina as an exemplary mother and could have had a devastating effect on her child's mental development.

Celina cried, Raffa could only look at the girl with pity. Raffa knows Celina can't tell her all the real events in order to keep her good name.

Finally the decision was read.

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.

Celina could not bear to hear the judge's decision. The girl was crying so much. Raffa looked at the girl with teary eyes. Unable to bear seeing Celina's grief, Raffa came forward to convey his objection.

"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.

Everyone who attended the trial was stunned. Celina was stunned, not expecting Raffa to oppose her mother and instead turned to defend her.

"Celina is a good mother to Ozora, no one is more deserving of raising the child than Celina.

I thank you for being given the confidence to take care of my own child.

But I don't feel confident to be a good father to Ozora, because I'm not a clean person myself.

A lot of ugliness in me and I know exactly what Celina is accused of is all just engineering.

"If it is like that, you must give a statement in writing and passed with several witnesses" said the judge.

Raffa nodded with certainty, the man smiled then bowed. Raffa knew what he was doing this would make his mother angry. Raffa did not want to look at his mother's face at this moment. The man will accept the consequences from his mother later.

Celina looked at Raffa with haru, the girl was eager to hug him to thank him. Kevin was amazed at the courage of Raffa against his mother and in making that decision.

Celina washed her tear-filled face in the courthouse toilet. The girl smiled looking in the mirror, she would soon meet her son. His longing was no longer unbearable.

Patting cold water on her face with a smile, the girl did not want any tears on her face. After smiling in the mirror, the girl went out to meet Kevin who was waiting for her.

There was a slap, Celina's steps stopped, the girl was shocked, she stepped out of the toilet, the sound was so loud that the girl's heart stopped beating.

"Your staff humiliated me, you know how I tried to get that custody ?

I really can't believe I'm getting any resistance from my own son.

Why ? why don't you follow my wishes when all this is for our good, for your good who also loves Ozora so much" Rowenna cried.

"I don't want to, because of my love, make my loved ones suffer.

For me the happiness of Celina and Ozora is above my own happiness" said Raffa bowed with teary eyes.

"Stupid...dumb" cried Rowenna as she beat her son's chest.

Celina held back a cry, covering her mouth with both hands. Raffa's words made his heart moved mixed with sadness. Elsewhere, Kevin leaned back to hear the conversation of the mother and child when he wanted to catch Celina to the toilet.

The judge's decision has been set, Ozora is back in Celina's care. Ozora will regroup with him, no one will separate them again. If Ms. Rowenna was desperate to block them then Ms. Rowenna could be charged with child protection.

Kevin held Celina's hand with a smile, after getting the confirmation document, they walked out of the courthouse. Their happy smile was inversely proportional to Raffa's sad face. The man could only look at the girl he loved stepping in with another man.

"I haven't seen Raffa, where is he ?

After signing the confirmation document, he was not seen again?

We have to thank him" Kevin said.

Celina just shrugged, the girl just smiled knot. Celina already thanked him even if only inwardly. Thousands and even millions of thanks for the man's statement. For his heart and for his love.

Given that the look on Celina's face returned moody.

"Mama." came a little familiar voice.

Ozora runs from a luxury sedan car directly into Celina's arms. The girl held Ozora while kissing her son's face many times but was never satisfied.

Ozora laughs amusedly, gets a blind kiss from her mother.

"Chantian dong" said Kevin who immediately grabbed Ozora's body from Celina's sling.

The girl scowled making Ozora laugh at her mother's expression. Kevin is no less exciting, catapult Ozora high and catch him. Ozora laughed, Celina massaged her anxious chest but laughed along. Only Raffa looked at them with a sad look.

During the trip Celina did not let loose hug her son. Joking and talking. Celina even sat in the middle seat with Ozora.

"Where has Ozora been sleeping ?" ask Celina curiously.

"At the same hotel grandma" replied Ozora.

"At the hotel, just the same grandma ? why at the hotel ?" asked Celina more curious.

"Not the same grandma, but the same bodyguard as well. If the grandma leaves, Ozora is the same as the bodyguard, Ozora is sometimes invited to the amusement park" replied the handsome boy.

Celina hugged her son, unimaginable if the custody fell on the Saltano family. Celina definitely could not enjoy Ozora's little smile and voice anymore.

"Grandma said Ozora was going to stay at the grandma house, but didn't she ?

Grandma is sad when Ozora comes home, Grandma asks if Ozora likes to live there with them" Ozora tells.

"Trus Ozora answered what son ?" ask Celina.

"Ozora says like it, the grandma trus nanya, does Ozora want to stay there ? Ozora said she wanted to but she was the same mother" Ozora replied.

Celina just smiled, now that Ozora knows that the Saltano Family is her family too, and Raffa is her father. Kevin overheard their conversation with an uncouth feeling. Ozora clearly wants to get together with the Saltano family as well as her mother.

They return to the store, while Kevin returns to his office. Celina goes back to her days working in a bookstore. Ozora welcomes visitors. The child will immediately invite the visiting children to enjoy their new educational toys.

Meanwhile at the Saltano family residence, Mrs. Rowenna sat pensively at her desk. I heard the sound of broken things. The chief housekeeper of the Saltano family was forced to standby at the front door of the woman commissioner's workroom.

Mrs. Rowenna walked towards the central room, pacing back and forth in the vast room.

What am I supposed to do now, why is my mind so dead-end, inner Rowenna.

Suddenly the sound of a car stopping on the terrace, Jessica went down while carrying her groceries. Passing through the middle room without seeing the left right directly up the stairs to his bedroom.

"JESSICA ! ! !" shouted Rowenna.

Jessica stopped walking, then looked at her. Rowenna's.

"If anyone wants mommy to talk, then mom, I want to rest first" Jessica said back up the stairs.

"ENOUGH! ! ! , I'm sick of seeing you, now also pack your things and get out of this house" continued Rowenna.

"What is this ? why is mommy suddenly so cranky" asked Jessica.

"I want you out of this house, right now !!!" shouted Rowenna.

Jessica came down from upstairs, looking at her. Rowenna with a face of wonder, but still implied arrogance there. It was as if what Mrs said. Rowenna is something she will regret later.

"Why is mommy like this ? why drive me out of here ?" ask Jessica.

"I don't want you here, you're of no use to me, you and your family are just a shame to my family" Rowenna said.

Jessica stood in front of her. Rowenna seemed to challenge the beautiful old woman.

"Then ? mommy forgot, if not without the help of my family, the mommy company is bankrupt" Jessica said.

"I don't forget, because your family always reminds me of their service, every time they ask for my help. I've paid him tens or even hundreds of times, I don't owe you anything anymore to your family. Now take your son, get out of this house" Rowenna said firmly.

"You can't even give me offspring" Rowenna said, deciding to expel Jessica.
