Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 56 ~ Lose Again ~

Raffa resigned, the man was tired of competing with men who clearly wanted to disturb his household. Raffa's only hope is that Celina will remain loyal to him.

That morning, Raffa opened his eyes, directly staring at the girl he loved. Celina was still sleeping while hugging Raffa, the man dyed the top of his wife's hair. Celina blinked her eyes, smilingly looking at Raffa who was looking at her.

"Sister, you've been up since ?" celina asked, her chin resting on Raffa's chest.

The man nodded as he stroked Celina's hair, Celina came forward and kissed Raffa's lips. The smiling man immediately grabbed the girl's body and laid down beside her. Replying to Celina's kiss with a warm kiss.

"There's still no sign of affection ?" raffa asked in between his kisses.

"I haven't checked my sister yet, I'm sorry" Celina said, caressing her husband's cheek.

Celina felt regretful, until now had not been able to give the news that the big family wanted.

"It's okay, I just want you not to get too tired of work, huh ?" raffa said as he continued to kiss his wife's neck.

The man did not need to hear his wife's answer anymore, all he wanted was to immediately channel his feelings of love to his wife.

At breakfast Ozora asks permission to go with Keira. Today they want to talk about the problems at the Cartwright company. Ozora can do it online but Keira wants to see firsthand how the team works.

For the sake of his Auntie Kei, Ozora obeyed, Raffa actually felt less happy with the conversation because considering Edward was one of Ozora's team members. But the man can't stop him, banning Ozora for no reason will only make the boy think badly of him.

Raffa could only hold back.

"Auntie Kei provided a meeting room for us so we could discuss in person. After that Auntie will take Ozora to the mama's shop, can ya pa ?" ozora asked Raffa for permission.

"Yes, baby, but don't work too hard, you're still too small for that burden" Raffa said.

"Don't be too eager to help the company" Rowenna said with a smile.

Ozora laughed, the only person lacking support for the company's rescue efforts was her grandmother. While playing with Ozora, Miss. Rowenna advised Ozora not to work too hard for the family.

Especially to sacrifice his playing time, Ozora only laughed at the incitement of his grandmother. As Ozora had said, Keira drove Ozora to Celina's shop, the girl was also looking for some books needed in understanding the problems going on at the company.

Ozora helps find the book Keira needs. After getting what he was looking for, Keira went home. Celina escorts Keira to the parking lot.

"You haven't set your wedding date yet ?" ask Celina.

"We still need to strengthen ourselves, prepare mentally and others" Keira said with a laugh.

"Auntie get married quickly, let Ozora soon have a scene" Ozora said.

"Oh yeah baby if that's what Ozora wants, Auntie will force uncle Kev to marry auntie soon" said Keira who was inexhaustible feeling anxious about the child.

"If Ozora says you agree immediately, if I say you have a lot of reasons" Celina sewot said

Keira laughs.

"It's all your fault, don't see Ozora really wants to have a sister but you haven't fulfilled her wish" Keira said as she lifted her chin.

Celina laughed back.

"Yes.who does not want, if not already given yes want how again" said Celina while shaking her waist.

Keira laughed again.

"That means, your and Raffa's efforts are still not optimal" Keira said as she lifted her chin.

Ozora patting jidat. Then stepped leaving the two beautiful women in the parking lot. Keira and Celina laughed seeing the child getting tired of seeing their behavior. Keira and Celina embraced, and Keira said goodbye while laughing.

Celina waved as the girl's car left the parking lot. Celina walked back to the store.

"Cellina"

Celina turned her head towards the voice, looking at Edward who was walking towards her.

"What is the need, you here ?" ask Celina.

Edward stood in front of Celina, looking at the girl. Observe each curve of the girl's face, then smile. Celina felt uncomfortable being looked at like that.

The girl chose to leave, but Edward held her hand. Celina was shocked trying to let go of her hand. Ozora saw her mother talking to Edward from the store.

The boy was just waiting for his mother and friend to come to the store. But what she saw, Celina drooped in the arms of the man and took him away. Ozora panicked as she ran screaming for her mother, the shopkeeper came straight over.

"Ozora, what happened ?" ask the waiter who doesn't understand why Ozora screamed in tears.

"Mama, mama was kidnapped..mama was kidnapped uncle Ed" cried Ozora frantically.

They immediately ran towards the parking lot, trying to catch the car that had just sped out of the area. Ozora cried, the waiter immediately called his friend and immediately ran over.

"Mother Celina was kidnapped, what should we do ?" ask the shopkeeper.

"We called Ms Celina's husband" said one store employee.

The waiter handed Ozora his phone, the boy called his father and told him what he saw. Raffa was very surprised to hear the story of his son, soon the man left his office.

"We'll call the police, sir ?" said the shopkeeper to Raffa when the man arrived.

"It wasn't before one twenty-four hour, the police couldn't get a report before that" Raffa said in a panic, then called Kevin.

Shortly after, Kevin and Keira arrive. They gathered at Celina's office. Keira immediately hugged the crying Ozora.

"It's unbelievable, we just split up in the parking lot" said Keira who also cried while hugging Ozora.

Kevin rubbed his fiancee's back.

"I'll find his address at the club" Kevin said.

Raffa sat down, the man limp thought about what happened. Raffa heard Ozora tell Kevin in detail what he saw. Then running to hug his father, the boy felt sorry to know Edward.

Raffa hugged the boy tightly, understanding that it was not his fault.

"Ozora just go home, baby, not here, if here Ozora will always be sad" Raffa proposed to his son.

But Ozora shook her head strongly, not even if she did not want to leave the place. The boy regretted leaving his mother alone in the parking area.

"Then don't cry anymore, pray that you're okay" Raffa told Ozora.

The boy nodded and sat down beside Keira. Kevin looks busy with his phone.

"He didn't pick up my phone, all right, what's in his brain ? as far as I'm concerned he's not the one who can go that far" Kevin said.

Raffa is down, anything can happen, he himself never thought he would be able to act that far, while kidnapping, captivating and raping Celina in his villa at that time.

The man exhaled heavily, who would have expected Celina to experience another abduction. Recalling the bad thoughts that flashed through his mind, the tears of the man immediately poked.

"Did Ozora's testimony not apply ? he saw for himself his mother being taken away" cried Keira growing impatient.

"Just try, Raffa, I'll report this with Ozora. You are here waiting for any news or information" said Kevin who immediately invited Ozora to leave.

Keira also wants to accompany Ozora, but Kevin forbids him. He wants Keira to accompany Raffa who looks devastated. Keira nodded in agreement, she sat down beside Raffa trying to comfort the man.

"He was always afraid to hear the words kidnap, I didn't think he was still not free from such an incident" Keira said in tears.

Raffa was bowed with blank eyes, his soul was tired, the man was not yet free from his test of fortitude. Raffa felt it was a punishment for his sins.

Keira tries to cheer Raffa up, but he himself feels the need to be entertained. Keira looks more panicked than Raffa. But when he saw the man Keira felt very sorry, Raffa's face looked very tired.

Only then did Keira realize, Raffa was in shock, which made the man just silently stare blankly. Keira realizes that the person who suffered the most is Raffa, considering what happened when Celina, was kidnapped and almost killed.

And now that Celina has become his wife, his heart has to experience something like that again, of course Raffa feels very guilty for not being able to protect the woman he loves.

Keira's phone shook, and Kevin sent Edward's phone number asking the girl to try and keep calling Edward. Keira does Kevin's orders, tries to contact Edward. His phone was connected, but the man did not want to take his call.

"If I had known of his behavior like this, I wouldn't have believed in his demeanor that looked polite, calm but kept a foul plan" Keira said.

But whatever Keira said did not in the least make their hearts become calmer. There are only regrets, why all of this could have happened, and why they could have been so careless.

After tired of waiting, there was no news of Celina. Either of the men who wanted to tell me what it meant to bring Celina. Raffa will give whatever the man wants even his soul is willing to give if that is what he asks. But Edward didn't contact them at all.

Kevin came and immediately asked for news, Keira just shook her head. Kevin breathed a heavy breath.

"Now we can only wait for news from the police" said Kevin slowly.

All pensive.

Meanwhile, Celina woke up in a very beautiful room in a classic style. So aware the girl immediately got out of bed and wanted to run but her legs felt weak. Celina fell on the marble floor, the girl seemed to imagine what had happened to her long ago.

Celina cried, someone opened the door and walked up to her. Celina was surprised to see who was coming. Celina was finally in her last memory.

Celina doesn't want to talk to Edward anymore, she doesn't want to hurt her husband by still being in touch with him. Celina wants Edward to stay away from her.

But Edward insisted on staying close to Celina even wanting to take her somewhere.

"I'm not going with you, my husband and I don't like you. Enough Mr. Edward, from now on assume we never know each other" said Celina then want to leave.

"I can't Celina, you have to come with me. I want to show you something" Edward said.

Edward tried to restrain Celina but the girl immediately brushed off her hand. Celina suddenly felt something smothering her mouth, before long Celina did not remember anything else.

And woke up in that classic luxury room. Celina ran towards the door and was struck, a big, luxurious and magnificent house, almost like a palace. Celina was dumbstruck, the girl didn't even know where she wanted to go.

But he kept running, wherever he came away from Edward. Celina's steps came to a halt, the girl rolled her eyes around the room. Celina was so shocked that she covered her mouth with both hands. On the wall were paintings similar to him.

So similar to almost the same, but looks more elegant with a beautiful dress. Celina walked slowly following the paintings displayed on the walls of the room that was so airy. His eyes glued to look at the painting one by one.

Without realizing it, Edward walked slowly with his steps. Smilingly looking at the astonished expression on Celina's face. Edward seemed to be enjoying the girl's astonished face.

Celina flipped over, Edward's steps came to a halt.

"Who is this ? "celina's words are interrupted because she herself does not know what to ask.

"My mom, she's my mom" Edward said as he looked at the painting.

"It's just my vision or... "

"He looks like you, he looks a lot like you" Edward said.

"Are you obsessed with your mother ? brought me here because it looks like your mother ?" ask Celina.

"Not obsessed but want to prove" continued Edward.

"What does this have to do with me ? I'm not your mother, what do you want ? where's your mom ?" ask Celina in a row.

"Unfortunately he's gone" said Edward.

"Oh, sorry, I don't know" Celina said regretfully.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. My mother died two and a half years ago" Edward told me.

"What exactly is your purpose in bringing me here, my family must be very worried about me. Edward, I have to go home" Celina said, unconcerned about the man's business.

Celina was looking for the exit of the mansion.

"How do you get home ?" ask Edward.

"Either, anything, walk if necessary" said Celina, looking to the right and left looking for the door.

Edward followed with a smile.

"Where do you think this is ?" ask Edward.

"I don't know, I'll ask out there" he said.

"Celina, it's New York, you can't go anywhere" Edward said.

"What ? don't joke, how could I possibly be here ?" ask Celina.

"By a private plane" Edward said.

"Please Edward, I have to go home. I have a family, I have kids. My son needs me so much. Please Edward, don't you know Ozora well ? she respects you a lot, she likes you too" Celina said with teary eyes.

"really ? after what I did to her mother, she'll still like me ? what about your husband ? after you've been away for days with me does she still love you ?" said Edward.

"What do you mean ? how long have I been here ?" ask Celina.

"Nearly two days and two nights" said Edward.

"What ? please Edward, my family must be looking for me. I have to get Edward home" Celina pleaded.

"Truly similar" a voice sounded from the other direction, Celina turned her head towards the voice.

There was an old man sitting in a wheelchair. Edward came and took over the wheelchair from the waiter.

The old man looked at Celina's face and smiled.

"Celina, you look a lot like your mother"
