Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 55 ~ Third Person Action ~

Ozora walks into Celina's office while pulling the hand of a man, who is none other than the one Raffa and Celina are talking about. The man's behavior that sent flowers back to Celina certainly made Raffa upset.

"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.

Raffa and Celina were stunned, it could be said that the unexpected person had come. And what makes them more surprised is Ozora who looks very familiar with him.

Raffa who had not liked the man from the beginning was forced to behave naturally in front of his son. Ozora is happy to introduce Edward to her parents.

"We know Ozora" Edward said.

"Oh yeah, is it really Uncle Ed ? where ?" ask Ozora.

Raffa and Celina look at each other, not because Edward admits to having known them, but Ozora's call to him. So easy is the child to call someone with the call uncle or om to someone he just knew.

"Don't be surprised Celina, I've known Ozora for almost a year now, right Ozora ?" edward asked who was replied with a nod by Ozora.

"So when you met us on the honeymoon, you knew each other ?" raffa asked, as impatiently wanting to immediately know the purpose of the Caucasian men into their lives.

"Yes long before that, Ozora and I had been in touch over the internet. Initially because I was interested in the conversation of fellow business people in Indonesia and then I joined the forum. Until finally I also joined the philanthropists club" Edward said.

"What ? have you been a member of the philanthropists club ? since when and why don't I know ?" raffa asked increasingly dislike hearing the man like he had been stalking his family for a long time.

"At the inauguration of the formation of Club Philanthropist, I had wanted to re-establish my friendship with Kevin who became president of the club. But constrained by a love triangle fight I was so canceled to meet my best friend" said Edward with a laugh, sitting leaning on the office guest chair Celina.

"You witnessed that ?" asked Raffa, who was replied by a nod by Edward.

"Ironi isn't ? at the club's inauguration, Celina was Kevin's partner but on her honeymoon she was with you" Edward said laughing.

Raffa asks Celina to take Ozora out of the room, she wants to have a one-on-one talk with Edward. Celina felt anxious by the order, letting Raffa one room with the person she hated. Celina shook her head.

Raffa stared intently at Celina, with the girl forced to take Ozora out of the room.

"Ozora came out baby, papa wants to talk to Mr. Edward" said Raffa remained normal in front of his son.

"Well papa" Ozora replied.

Celina immediately held Ozora's hand, turning back to her husband who was staring intently at Edward.

"Who are you really ? what's your goal in approaching our family ?" ask Raffa directly to the point of the problem.

"I want Celina" said Edward casually.

"Unfortunately, don't you know Celina is married" Raffa said loudly with her hands clenched.

"I know, didn't my story show that I've been watching him for a long time. Since he was still Kevin's partner" said the man was still relaxed.

Raffa kicked down the table, of course heard by Celina who was standing in front of the door of her room. Together with Keira, Celina was both surprised to hear the table buzz. Celina immediately wants to enter but is detained by Keira.

"Don't, Raffa could be mad at you. He told you to come out so you wouldn't interfere" Keira said.

"But Keira how can I let my husband be with an unknown person with such emotions" Celina said with teary eyes.

Panicked, worried that something was going on in there, Raffa was a fighter, but Celina also did not know the fighting ability of the male Caucasian. His body was also tall like Raffa. Celina was afraid of imagining something bad happening in there.

"Would we call Kevin ?" ask Keira.

The girl herself did not know what to do. I thought about calling Kevin because Edward was his best friend.

"But I'm afraid Raffa's brother doesn't agree we're calling Kevin's brother" Celina said.

"Here you go, let's just say you don't know if I called him. I'll talk if Raffa asks, you don't be afraid" Keira called Kevin, explaining the situation Celina was in.

Meanwhile Raffa and Edward are still in a cold war. Edward's words seemed to think Celina could easily move from one man to another. Edward stresses that she observed Celina while still Kevin's fiancee but then suddenly became Raffa's wife.

The remark made Raffa angry, the man hinted Celina could still move to another man.

"Where did Celina put the flowers I sent for her ? you told him to throw away my gift flower ?" ask Edward with his comfort.

"My wife doesn't need flowers from other men" Raffa said coldly.

"Oh yeah, why ? do you often give her flowers ? that woman needs to be praised, cared for, loved, spoiled, do you do it ? I don't think, just giving flowers, maybe not" Edward said.

"Enough, get you out of here or I can't bear to be rude to you" Raffa said.

"Why haven't you kicked me out since ?

You want to know my purpose in approaching your family, don't you ?

Why do you want to throw me out now ?

No longer interested in the reason I approached Celina ?

Or you're embarrassed because in reality you never praise him, pay attention to him or spoil him.

You remember him only when you want to make love to him" Edward said staring intently at Raffa.

Raffa had lost his temper, standing in front of the man, about to grab Edward's shirt crate. Edward still looked very calm.

"You don't know ? he was silent as I brushed his lips at the hotel's breakfast" Edward said.

Hearing the man's words, Raffa no longer had patience, ready to throw his fist into Edward's face.

"Of course you don't know, you're late" Edward recalled the last time they had breakfast at the hotel and Edward had been sitting in front of Celina.

Raffa was fixated, the man said, humbling his wife as well as himself. Raffa would really throw his fists at that presumptuous man.

But suddenly the office door opened and Kevin appeared in front of them. Edward is obviously not afraid of Raffa, but Kevin's arrival did save him.

"What are you doing here ?" raffa asked Kevin and turned to Celina.

"I'm looking for Keira, she just happens to be here" said Kevin.

"You told him to come here ?" ask Raffa to Celina.

Celina did not answer anything and Raffa immediately left. Leaving them all behind, Celina chased after her husband, but Raffa did not care about her. Celina silently followed her husband, she did not want to attract the attention of visitors.

After the parking lot, Celina stopped him.

"Sister, why ? what's up ? why go ? what's going on ?" celina asked while holding Raffa's hand.

"You want to know ? he said he wanted you and he really believed he could have you" Raffa said.

"Wait for my brother, how could he dare to speak to my husband like that ?" ask Celina.

"Why not ? he knows your nature can move from one man to another" said Raffa staring intently at his wife.

"What ?" celina said in disbelief, hearing Raffa's words her eyes immediately glazed over, her chest sore.

"But sister, at that time she said there was something on my lips" said Celina

"That's just his wits, STUPID" hardened Raffa, then got into the car and left his wife fixated on hearing a rude remark from him.

Celina stood up with tears that had flowed, Raffa only saw his wife from the rearview mirror. No matter what, Raffa just wanted to get away from that place.

The incident had already been forgotten by Celina, just before her husband came. Edward begged to be allowed to sit in front of him for breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

Edward said there was something on Celina's lips, the girl took a napkin to clean it.

"Wait, just clean it with your tongue" Edward suggested.

"What ?" ask Celina directly,

"Like this, you don't have to dirty your napkin, just with your tongue, like this" Edward said.

Edward stuck out his tongue and swept his entire lips while laughing, Celina also laughed.

"Try" said Edward.

Which Celina immediately tried, while laughing as well.

"Again" said Edward.

"There's still ?" ask Celina.

But the girl did not want to do it again, she chose to clean her lips with a napkin. Edward immediately took the initiative, took his own napkin and helped sweep Celina's lips. The girl wanted to refuse but could not bear to reject Edward's good intentions. The man seemed sincere to help her.

The incident was completely meaningless to Celina but was able to break her husband's heart. Celina regretted the incident she had forgotten. Celina's back in her office, there's Keira, Kevin and Edward.

Celina came to Edward.

"Why would you do that ? why would you say that to my husband ? what's my fault with you ?" asked Celina who was crying accompanied by a sad look at the man she just knew.

"Just to find out how much your husband cares about you" Edward replied.

"What right do you have to judge my husband, what right do you have to judge me ?" asked Celina in a voice that was getting higher.

"If Raffa is right for you then I'll be willing to let you go" Edward said.

"Enough, you have no right to judge my husband, whether or not you determine him. Now get out of my life and don't bother me and my family anymore" Celina said loudly.

Edward stood up from the guest chair, looking at Celina with a smile.

"See you soon" said Edward leisurely as he walked towards the door.

"I don't want to see you again" Celina cried

"Oh sure, we will definitely meet again" Edward said with a laugh.

Celina sat in the guest chair in her office, holding her head with both hands down.

"Oh my goodness Celina, that person is so confident. He is very confident he can have you" Keira said.

"What ?" ask Celina in disbelief.

It's not that I don't believe Keira's words, but I don't believe that the man also revealed them to Kevin and Keira.

"She was like that, a female conqueror. I'm sorry" said Kevin regretting.

"Why brother should apologize, it's not brother's fault" Celina said, declining Kevin's apology.

"Because he made me a bridge to get close to you" Kevin said.

"No sister, he can do it through anyone, Ozora just brought him here" explained Celina.

"Haa. does he know Ozora ?" wonder Keira.

"They have known for a long time, he was even made one of the rescue team of the Cartwright family company, he is also a member of the philanthropists club" explained Celina.

"really ? I did see his name on the members list, but I really didn't expect that it was really him. He's the CEO of a big company in New York, so why care about the companies here" Kevin said.

"Well, I salute you more Celina, not enough two CEOs but plus one more. You are a real magnet for the CEO" Keira said sincerely, without any intention of insinuating Kevin.

Kevin just looked at his fiancee, he knew Keira didn't mean to insinuate but what she said somehow felt reasonable. It all depends on the association and environment, if you hang out with the CEO-CEO of course who will like it is the CEO.

"I like you Celina but luckily I'm a woman, otherwise I might as well become the fourth CEO to fall in love with you" Keira said with a laugh.

Celina just smiled blandly, her mind was floating on her husband who was now of course angry with her.

Arriving home, Celina immediately looked for her husband. The girl had seen the man's car while parked in the garage.

Celina looked at Raffa who was standing still on the balcony of their room. Celina directly hugged her husband from behind, there was a sense of anxiety that the man would ignore her again.

Raffa was immediately bowed to his wife's hand that was coiling up on his chest, the man hugged his wife's hand back.

"Am I lacking attention to you ? have I ever spoiled you ? if I think about it, I did not do anything for you" said Raffa slowly like frustration.

"No, that's not true, brother did everything for me. Whatever I need I have got, I don't need anything else, I just need a sister" Celina said, strengthening her embrace.

Raffa smiled at his wife.

"Who wouldn't float to hear what you say, maybe that's what makes men want you. Your words are so plain, but they can make men feel flattered.

I know, there is not the slightest intention of you to seduce, not the slightest attempt to make people like you.

But it's all natural, your sincerity makes a man feel like he's a very meaningful person" Raffa said, flipping towards Celina.

"I'm jealous of Celina, but I'm too tired to be angry. I'm tired of competing with any man. I just want to beg you, consider my feelings, my feelings of love for you" Raffa said with a look that I cupped Celina's face.

"Sister, why are you talking like that ? the only thing I want is you, only your love, papa Ozora, I only want you, I love you, I love you forever" Celina said in a statement.

Raffa smiled and nodded, what could he do other than believe in his wife's words. If Celina had intended to leave him, she might have done so long ago.

"I love you mama Ozora" Raffa replied.

Slowly lifting Celina's chin and sipping on Celina's tiny lips, the girl wrapped her hands around Raffa's back, the touch making Raffa even more eager to deepen his kiss.

A speck of water fell on Celina's cheek, the girl was shocked. Removing his kiss, rubbing the water point then looking in wonder at Raffa's eyes. A speck of clear still left there.

"I can't compete with that guy, I admit I can't. You're the only one who makes me feel so scared of losing. The only woman who can make me cry is you. Ever since I knew you, I've been crying since I knew you" Raffa said, hugging the woman he loved.

Raffa is no longer rude, no longer harsh. No longer ignoring Celina. To vent his jealousy he could only cry, begging to remain loved by his wife. And of course, Celina granted her request
