Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 54 ~ Third-Person Heart Intentions ~
That morning Keira was already smiling at the door, after one morning calling Celina asking for permission to take Ozora to the Cartwright family company.
"I'm sorry to interrupt early in the morning" he said, as soon as he saw Celina.
Celina accidentally welcomes Keira because she knows she's coming. Celina immediately invited Keira to breakfast together.
"Why the hell, are you so desperate to help the family company ?" ask Rowenna who is already upset with the behavior of the company.
"All of you learn aunty, I like to see the way different people handle problems in their companies" Keira explained.
Keira knows and understands how she feels. Rowenna to Jessica and her family. Their relationship is no longer harmonious since Jessica could kidnap and hold Ny. Rowenna's in the barn.
Celina's trying to show her. Rowenna that she did not hold the slightest grudge against Jessica. But Ms. Rowenna was not Celina, it was very difficult for her to just forget the actions of the person who had troubled and hurt her.
Although the Cartwright family is her best friend and Jessica is her ex-daughter-in-law but given their deceptive deeds with Jessica's pregnancy as well as the evil Jessica who tried to abuse her made Ms. Rowenna could not forgive them.
But lucky Mrs. Rowenna did not forbid anyone to help the family.
"Until now they don't even apologize to me, how will I forgive them" Rowenna said when asked why she still hated the family.
Mr. Robby rubbed his wife's back in support of Mrs. Rowenna finally did not sue for the actions of Jessica and her family. The madam was learning to live a pectoral life, as Mr. Robby and Celina suggested.
Keira had breakfast with the Saltano family, the feeling of the girl getting closer to them. Especially now that he has been allowed to see Ozora whenever he wants.
"We're leaving now, baby ?" ask Keira.
"Yes, Auntie Kei" Ozora replied.
They set out together, on a busy journey Keira asks how Ozora can be so intelligent.
"Since the age of two months mama has introduced the same book Ozora. Mama always read it in her spare time until Ozora finally read it herself" replied Ozora.
"In that bookstore ?" ask Keira.
"Yes auntie, where else ?" Ozora.
They arrived at the Cartwright family company. Keira introduced Ozora to Mr. Cartwright. The master ordered his subordinates to provide the information Ozora needed.
Ozora also asked directly to the people in charge in all the divisions. They admire the way Ozora analyzes all information quickly and precisely.
Ozora requested a copy of the information she needed, which she would discuss with the competent team in accordance with the problems facing the Cartwright company.
Once they get the information they need. Keira invites Ozora to lunch at a restaurant, where they are also busy talking. Some people who know Ozora immediately approached asking for a picture together, Ozora is famous among students to workers.
"We're just going, it's getting crowded" Keira asked after they were free from Ozora fans.
Keira was just about to stand up, but her movements stopped, her eyes focused on the couple who had just entered the restaurant. They look very friendly.
"Ozora wait here for a moment, baby, auntie there is a little need" said Keira and soon passed from the presence of Ozora.
The girl stood right against the couple who had just entered the luxurious restaurant.
"What the fuck is this ?" ask the woman who stuck to Raffa.
"Keira" said Raffa shocked.
Keira stared intently at them in turn. Raffa asks the woman for permission to talk to Keira. Soon they were talking in the corner of the room.
"It's not what you think it is" Keira said, following Raffa's speech.
Raffa immediately pinched the base of his nose. Confused as to what to say, Keira had already preceded his words.
"I'm used to dealing with situations like this, and the first speech out must be similar, like it has been formatted in the brains of all men" said Keira Ketus.
Raffa took a long breath.
"He's nobody he's just a friend" Raffa replied.
"You know, I feel so sorry to send Celina's photo to you, as if to show Celina's ugliness to someone as good as you.
But what I saw today, I'm really very, very, very sorry as if siding with a rotten person like you" said Keira who was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, if you want to go listen to my explanation. He was just a friend in college, we just met, we just wanted to have lunch together. Don't get me wrong" Raffa said a little frantic with Keira's assessment.
"So ? if this is normal, do it. I just need to remind you, it's easy for Celina to find someone who will hold her hand for lunch just like you do now" Keira said.
"Keira !!!!" hardik Raffa was emotional when he imagined Keira's words.
"I was sad from the bottom of my heart when she cried because she was ignored by you. I hope you guys can make up again. But now ? I'm sorry my wish came true, because you didn't deserve Celina" Keira said.
Raffa could not say anything more, just as the man pulled Keira's hand. Heading to the table where the woman was sitting.
"Tell him that we're just regular friends" Raffa told the woman.
The woman looked at Keira.
"No, we are not ordinary friends" the woman said, staring at Keira's face.
"What ?" raffa.
"I like you, you think I want to go to lunch with a man ? I know you're married.
But when you don't refuse my lunch it means I still have hope.
I can still make you like me" said the woman confidently and looked at Keira.
Raffa was flabbergasted, Keira smiled.
"You think I'm his wife ? with her pe deu you said that in front of me" Keira said to the woman.
"Raffa you heard this woman's intention to have lunch with you, right ?
Do you think there are any ordinary friends who walk while clinging like that ? she thought I was Celina, she hoped we would make a fuss and you would side with her" Keira explained.
The woman was puzzled by Keira's intention of saying so.
"If Celina who heard this just might she would leave crying right ? he clearly intended to hurt your wife" Keira told Raffa.
Raffa breathed out violently.
"Listen to Marissa, I have no intention of liking you more than a friend. I just want to be friends with you. But if you have any other intentions, sorry I can't, I won't betray my wife" Raffa said, taking Keira away.
"I have to call Ozora" Keira said.
"Ozora is here ? you guys still together ?" ask Raffa who knows since the morning Ozora left with Keira.
Keira immediately followed Ozora, Raffa approached and immediately held his son. Ozora was shocked to meet her father there.
"Papa ?" his yell.
"Dear, let's go home" Raffa said, holding her son.
Raffa pays Keira and Ozora's bills, they leave the restaurant without caring for Marissa who stares at them with an annoyed look.
"Actually I still want to play with Ozora" said Keira who immediately frowned to see Raffa put Ozora in his car.
"Yes we've met in the store, I'm with Celina and you can play with Ozora" Raffa said.
"Let's go" cried Keira directly.
"Little children can't see" he said, turning Ozora's face towards him.
Ozora laughed, Ozora's cute face instantly made Keira anxious. The girl immediately pinched her cheek and kissed Ozora. Raffa and Celina laughed at how sorry Keira was towards their son.
"We met at the restaurant, but because there was a seductress, we went home" Keira said.
"Woman teaser ?" celina asked in surprise and looked at Raffa.
"You mean the woman who seduced me" said Raffa hurriedly.
Keira laughed as she shook her head and sat down in Celina's office guest seat and asked Ozora to sit next to her.
"Are you not working ?" ask Celina.
"I'm on leave, I just want to play around with Ozora" Keira replied.
"I'm truant, I want to play around with my wife" Raffa replied.
Keira immediately nodded.
"Well... That's what it's good to work in your own company. If Kevin and I work for a people's company" Celina said.
"Make no mistake, Kevin also likes to run away from his office, but yes because he is good, so his company remains stable" Keira explained.
"He ran away because he wanted to see you" Celina said.
"Well, if Kevin meets you, somebody's gonna get mad.
But if he meets others, it is considered ordinary" Keira quipped Raffa.
Raffa just glared and laughed, Celina was confused. Keira invites Ozora to show the latest children's game, leaving behind Raffa and Celina. Not forgetting to close the office door for them, Keira smiled considering what happened earlier.
Raffa, beware if you mess around, I'll be your spy, Keira's mind with a smile.
"What's up, brother ? what does it mean to be a seductress ?" ask Celina.
"So I met a friend in college. Then we planned to have lunch together, and we met Keira and Ozora" Raffa said.
"What does this have to do with seductive women ?" tanya Celina still did not understand.
"Keira lured him to talk until finally my friend admitted that he intended to tease me" Raffa said while looking down.
Deep in Raffa's heart, he really did not want to tell Celina about the incident. But because Celina asked and she did not want to cover anything from the girl, Raffa decided to speak honestly.
Celina nodded in understanding.
"Is she pretty ? are you sorry that you married me ?" ask Celina.
"Geez Celina, in my eyes, there is no other beautiful woman than you. And I'm very, very, very grateful to be married to you" Raffa said, imitating Keira's style of speech, making her laugh at herself.
Celina just smiled hearing Raffa's words.
"You have to believe me" Raffa said, cupping his wife's face.
"It's not hard to remember the reputation of a sister who likes to play with many women" said Celina seriously.
"That was before I met you. Now I'm different Celina. I am a loyal man" he said confidently.
"Alright, alright I believe" Celina said with a laugh, the girl just wanted to tease her husband.
Raffa felt bullied, the man was immediately anxious to see his wife. Directly hugged his waist tightly and grasped his chin.
"It's in my office" Celina said before her husband wrapped his mouth shut.
"Yes, if you want to come in, you have to knock on the door first, right ?" he said he did not care and immediately kissed his wife's lips.
Raffa's kiss warmed up when the knocking on the door was heard. Celina was forced to let go of the kiss with a smile. Then let the one who knocks on the door to enter.
"Excuse me Miss Celina, there's a delivery of flowers" said the waiter who immediately handed the flowers to Celina.
The girl who was sitting in the office guest seat immediately read the card tucked on the sidelines of the flowers, then turned to look at Raffa who was staring blankly in the other direction, her chest descending up like she was holding back emotions. His jaw was hardened, his hands clenched.
Celina just kept quiet until the waiter excusedly wanted to go back to work. The shopkeeper closed the door again. Celina wanted to hear a response from Raffa, but the man was silent.
Raffa was about to leave, Celina prevented him.
"Sister." call Celina, prevent Raffa from leaving.
"You like to receive flowers from her ?" ask Raffa.
"No, not at all" Celina put the flower on the table and grabbed Raffa's hand.
"Then tell her, don't send flowers to you" Raffa said quietly, holding back her emotions.
"How do I do that ? I couldn't reach her" Celina said.
Raffa nodded.
"I'll ask Kevin for his number, you can ask him to stop his actions. I don't like my wife being sent flowers by other men" Raffa said staring intently at her.
The more the day the man was getting upset, since Celina received the bouquet the first time, the sense of regret was still not complete. And now that his wife had gotten her bouquet back, the man felt his chest rumble again.
"I will ask all the waiters in this store to refuse to accept the delivery of flowers" Celina said.
"No need, this has nothing to do with them. You just need to contact the man" Raffa said looking into his wife's eyes.
"All right" Celina said, bringing the bouquet out of the room.
Raffa bowed, still unable to act as if this incident was not Celina's fault. Somehow Raffa always wanted to blame Celina for what happened in relation to the Caucasian man she knew during her honeymoon.
It was as if all of Celina's mistakes that were willing to get acquainted with the person she was today were like terrorizing their household.
Celina returned to the room looking at her husband who was bowed with the support of his fist stuck to his forehead. Celina did not know what to do, she felt guilty for making her husband feel upset.
"I'm sorry, brother, I don't know if he's that kind of person" Celina said, sitting next to Raffa and hugging the man's back.
Raffa grabbed his wife's hand, kissing the back of the girl's hand. Raffa himself does not want his wife to worry about his feelings that are in turmoil.
"You won't be tempted by it, will you ?" raffa's innocent speech made Celina laugh.
Celina does not know how Raffa feels who just realized a thing, even though she considers a woman is an ordinary friend but the woman could have intended to damage her household.
Raffa does not want it to happen to Celina, assuming the man she just knew was good intentions just to be friends with her. But behind all that there is a veiled intention in his heart to ruin their happiness.
Celina leaned on Raffa's boat, stroking strands of hair at her husband's knees. Raffa closed his eyes enjoying the breath of Celina on his cheek. They were both shocked when they heard a knock on the door. Ozora appeared after Celina let her in.
The boy came while pulling a man's hand.
"Mama, papa, introduce this one of the rescue team members for the Cartwright family company, Mr. Edward Miller, a graduate of Stanford University just like Uncle Kev" Ozora said.
Simultaneously Raffa and Celina stood up from their positions, with dumbfounded faces. Not expecting the person they were talking about to appear before them.
What shocked them even more was Ozora who looked very familiar to him. Raffa and Celina looked at each other in astonishment mixed in confusion to face this situation.
