Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 49 ~ First Tempest ~

Celina had her things in the car, by the time Kevin got home from his office. Kevin was very surprised to see Celina coming. Kevin hugged Celina, the man missed her a lot. Kevin still could not forget Celina, the man still loved her as well.

Kevin is frustrated because he is not willing to let go of Celina, the man forced to kiss his best friend's wife. It was witnessed by Keira who happened to come to visit Kevin, got the treat of the friendly scene that made his heart ache.

Keira understands Kevin's unfinished love for Celina. But Keira thinks that Celina still keeps the taste in Kevin despite having married Raffa. Keira is heartbroken, takes a photo of them and sends it to Raffa. Although immediately removed it but Raffa has opened a photo submission from him.

Celina enters the Saltano family residence, driving her car in the family's large garage. Celina hasn't seen Raffa's car parked there yet. One by one, she took her belongings down and brought them into her room.

Celina knocks on the door of Tita's room, the little girl is studying with Ozora, her son is helping Tita do her schoolwork. The two children immediately hugged Celina, the girl immediately kissed the two in turn.

"Have you not come home, baby ? " ask Celina to Ozora.

"Yet ma" replied Ozora briefly.

Just like Celina, if she goes home her husband will immediately meet her children. Today they have not found their father. Celina looks at her watch, Raffa doesn't usually come home late like this. Once the man's working hours are over, he will go straight home to his family. Play together, have dinner together or even sleep together.

Celina stroked the hair of the two children then passed back to her room. Standing in a balcony, staring blankly at the side garden of the vast Saltano residence. Somehow her feelings were worried, after what happened earlier, Celina felt guilty. Although he himself did not want it but what Kevin did affected his mood.

Passing through midnight Raffa still did not go home, until finally the sound of a mobile phone vibrates. David calls, informing them that they are on the porch and Raffa is drunk.

"What happened to Mr David, why did Mr Raffa get drunk ?" celina asked shortly after David laid Raffa's body on the bed.

"I don't know the ma'am but, sir Raffa seems to be sad. This afternoon, after a long time the attitude is not like that now reappears" said David like hesitating.

"What is that ? what kind of attitude ? " ask Celina wanting to know more about her husband's nature.

"Mr Raffa slammed his phone to shreds, if it had been like that usually something had happened and Mr Raffa must have been upset" David said.

"Do you know Mr David, why Mr Raffa is like that?" ask Celina.

"Sorry lady, I don't know. Mr. Raffa hasn't told me anything" David said.

"Alright, thank you very much for bringing Mr. Raffa home" Celina said.

David returns home, Celina immediately returns to her room. It was Raffa who was asleep, the thing he disliked the most. Seeing a man drunk, and now he was staring at her husband who was under the influence of alcohol. Celina cleansed her husband's body and let the man rest.

The next morning, Celina prepared warm water for her husband. As usual preparing Raffa work clothes, put them lined up on the bed and then to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for all of them.

Although there were so many servants at home, Celina prepared her own menu for food. Especially for Raffa Celina to prepare milk so that her husband's stamina is more awake especially last night has come home late at night and is drunk.

"Sister is up, sister wants to take a shower now ? the warm water I have prepared" Celina said to Raffa.

But the man was silent, stepping straight into the bathroom. Celina was stunned, there was something strange about her husband's attitude. While waiting for Raffa to take a bath, Celina prepares Tita who has to leave for school. After the little girl was ready to depart, Celina returned to the room wanting to see her husband's readiness.

But Celina was astonished, Raffa was not wearing the clothes she had prepared. The clothes he had chosen were still neatly lined up on the bed.

"If I knew you wanted to wear that suit, I would have prepared it earlier" Celina said with a bitter smile.

Although feeling strange with Raffa's attitude but Celina tried to be reasonable. Although she was in pain, the girl always tried to keep smiling.

But as before, there was no response from Raffa, the man was just busy preparing himself, ignoring the words of Celina. He walked out of the room without saying a word.

Celina's heart beats in pain, the girl feels like something has happened. Raffa was never that quiet, usually he would always tease Celina.

The man immediately stepped in the dining room, sitting together with the other extended family. Celina followed, immediately serving her husband. Prepare sandwiches and omelette in front of Raffa as well as milk.

But Raffa did not touch anything in front of him, the man took a new bread and polished himself besides, then chose to drink water.

Mrs. Rowenna was astonished by Raffa's attitude, everyone was astonished at the man's attitude. Without speaking the man immediately rushed away. On the porch Celina was speechless bowed as the man left without the slightest sound of his voice being heard.

Her chest felt stifled like that, long time the girl stood on the porch of the house even though the car carrying Raffa had passed, the girl was still pensively staring blankly at the large fence where her husband's car passed.

Celina entered the house behaving as usual Celina tried to be reasonable, she did not want the two parents to know there had been problems in the household.

Celina was getting ready to leave for her office at the bookstore. During a trip to the office the girl wonders what caused her husband's change in attitude. No one can behave normally if it happens like that.

Inevitably the attitude of the girl became gloomy, no one could bear being ignored. Moreover, it came from the man he loved. When the girl cried herself, after meeting her employees to fulfill their duties as a superior, the girl would cry sobbing alone.

That's Raffa's attitude every day and it's been three days. Celina couldn't take it anymore, the girl wanted to know what caused Raffa's attitude to change to her.

Just staying quiet won't make things better. Celina chose to discuss what happened between them. Although he had to face Raffa's anger.

"So wait, we have to talk" Celina said before the man walked out of the room.

But Raffa just brushed off Celina's hand.

"Sister, if I'm guilty tell me what's wrong, don't let me go like this.

Raffa doesn't want to touch anything I've prepared for you, why ? what's my fault ? tell me" said Celina holding Raffa's hand, her tears flowing down.

Just like yesterday-yesterday, Raffa just brushed off Celina's hand then passed, leaving for her office without saying a word. Celina was crying alone in her room. Today Celina did not prepare breakfast for Raffa anymore.

What he did for Raffa was in vain and Celina no longer wanted it to be seen by the two old men. Celina didn't take Raffa to the terrace anymore. The girl just stood at the window watching her husband's car go by.

As long as I have to wait for you to talk, no one wants to talk to me anymore.

Does Raffa want to end our marriage ?

Is there no way to fix everything ? inner Celina while banging her chest that felt narrow.

Celina continued her activities despite feeling very sad. Keep going to his office at the bookstore. Carry out his obligations despite his sad mood.

Until he reached his office, pensive a moment ago. Out of her office, today Celina is more outside the room around observing around the shop and giving directions to her subordinates. Silence in his own room will make his heart worse.

Not long after, Keira came with a gloomy face. Celina let Keira into her office.

"What's up Keira, seems like something's bothering you ?" celina.

"I'm sorry Celina, I want to ask you if your household is okay ?" ask Keira.

Celina bowed, there was a feeling of wonder in her. Why did Keira suddenly ask about the state of her household. Actually, the girl did not want to expose her household problems to anyone.

But Celina also needs a friend to talk to. After marriage, the girl felt alone. Covering up what her husband did, defending her husband if the two parents protested with his attitude. Alone covering the tempest that occurred in her household, Celina shed tears.

"Sir Raffa seems to be angry with me, he doesn't want to talk to me at all. But I will try to survive, people say the first year of marriage is difficult, maybe I have to survive through it all" Celina told me with a bitter smile.

"I'm sorry Celina, I think it was all my fault" Keira said regretfully.

"My household matters have nothing to do with you" Celina replied.

Keira shook her head, the girl shedding more and more tears. Her cry grew even more, Celina was astonished by Keira's attitude.

"I sent a picture of you two to Raffa when you visited Kevin's house that afternoon" Keira said.

Celina was surprised, instantly covering her mouth.

So that's why Brother Raffa ignored me, because Kevin's actions were known to him, Celina's inner self.

I don't feel Celina's tears melting.

"I'm sorry Celina, I'm sorry. I deleted it immediately but still my feelings were not calm, I'm sorry" Keira said in tears.

Celina shook her head while smiling bitterly, trying to comfort the guilt-ridden Keira.

"I'm grateful you told me, otherwise I wouldn't know what caused my husband's change in attitude. Don't worry I'll try to handle it" Celina said still smiling bitterly.

"If only because of problems like this our household was shaken. I'm sure sooner or later it'll all be over.

I won't let the slightest thing affect my household. I'll try to keep him.

Things like this might come up someday. If I was weak and lost today, our household would definitely not be able to be sustained" Celina explained

Keira hugged Celina, the girl was truly sorry. Keira tells Kevin all of her actions.

Kevin, who has just learned that Celina and Raffa's household is being shaken, immediately contacts Raffa, asking to meet.

"It's not Celina's fault, I'm wrong. I can't help myself" Kevin said when he met Raffa at a bar.

Because Raffa always spends his time in that bar until late at night. Then David drove home, and fell asleep. Raffa was unable to face his feelings of jealousy. His heartache did not want to be felt, escaping by making liquor as a solution to escape himself.

Luckily David always accompanied, even though the man did not ask for it. Secretly he was always around Raffa. Keeping worse things happening to his boss and best friend.

When drunk Raffa will sometimes forget himself, thinking another woman is his wife. When drunk Raffa actually complained to vent his heart to a woman who was not yet known. David didn't want those women to use him to ensnare him.

However, Raffa is a handsome CEO who is targeted by women who want to enjoy a luxurious life. David will always be ready to evict the women who tried to harass Raffa's household, who tried to approach him to destroy his household.

"You still love him ?" ask Raffa briefly.

"I think I still love him, but please don't blame him. It's all my fault, I heard from Keira that she sent you our picture. Don't misunderstand Celina she's innocent" Kevin explained.

Raffa laughed restrainedly.

"You still want it ?" ask Raffa.

"What do you mean say that" said Kevin.

"If you love each other, I'll give up. I feel tired, maintaining my love for her" Raffa said with teary eyes.

"Don't talk like that, think Celina, she's the more tired Raffa is. He loved you from the beginning you met, despite being nice to me but he only had you. Over seven years he maintained his love for you. Don't ever doubt him for what I did" Kevin explained.

Raffa looked at Kevin's face to find the truth in the man's eyes.

"Don't hate him, don't doubt his love" Kevin said, begging Raffa to understand.

Raffa looked into Kevin's sincere eyes saying all that. Raffa immediately rushed home. Looking for his wife who he had neglected for a few days. Raffa did not find his wife in the room, in the kitchen, in the room of his children and then returned to the room to check his clothes, Raffa accidentally heard the sound of crying on the balcony of the room.

Celina cried herself, she endured her grief alone. Raffa hugged his wife from behind, Celina immediately turned around. Staring at Raffa while sobbing.

"Be angry with me, curse me, slap me in the face, but don't ignore me. Brother Raffa don't ignore me" Celina cried.

Raffa hugged his wife.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you" Raffa said.

Hugged his wife tightly.

"I should remember what your sacrifice was like for waiting for me, I was stupid. Jealousy again made me blind, blind how much you love me" said Raffa hugged his wife more tightly.

Kissing his forehead for long, Raffa did not need his wife's explanation anymore. The man had heard everything from Kevin.

Celina tries to remind Kevin that she is married but Kevin still can not resist his feelings for Celina. It's not Celina's fault, if Kevin still can't forget it.

Meanwhile Kevin wants to see Keira, after explaining to Raffa. Kevin felt the need to explain to Keira. When Keira tells him what she did, Kevin leaves her.

No matter how Keira feels, seeing how much Kevin cares about Celina's happiness. Sick, left alone with no one to care about his feelings. That's how Keira feels.

Kevin stood in front of Keira's house, feeling guilty for what he had done. Feeling guilty for leaving him. Kevin wanted to see the girl but hesitated.

Came only to make false promises to her or really want to live life with her. Keira just stayed in her room looking at Kevin who was standing leaning on his car.

Keira did not want to influence her decision, letting the man decide what he wanted.
