Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 62 ~ Passing the Trap ~

Celina, Raffa and Alyssa return to the bookstore after visiting Jessica. They walked together from the parking lot to Celina's bookstore. Yet a woman suddenly blocked their steps.

"I want to hold you accountable" said the woman, staring at Raffa.

Raffa, Celina and Alyssa were stunned, what was before them was completely unthinkable. A pregnant woman holds Raffa accountable. All had one thought that Raffa had impregnated the woman.

"What do you mean, I don't know you" Raffa said angrily.

The woman showed footage of their meeting while at the bar. Celina and Alyssa stared at the video footage from the phone the woman was holding. Raffa was talking to the woman in a drunken condition.

The woman rubbed Raffa's face with her handkerchief and slipped the handkerchief in Raffa's pocket.

"That hand-sweep ? it turned out to be hers" Celina told Raffa with teary eyes.

Raffa shook his head, not wanting his wife to believe what was seen before them. Recorded Raffa kissing the woman, seeing the footage of the scene, Celina could no longer, the girl walked herself into the store.

Raffa wanted to block Celina but the girl brushed off the hand that was holding her back. Raffa was unable to see Celina's tears that had poured out, finally the man let go of his hand.

Alyssa grabbed the phone, turned off the footage and handed it to the woman by force.

"This doesn't prove anything, get you out of here" Alyssa said.

"Sir, go see Celina, let me face this woman" Alyssa said.

"But Alyssa, we just follow what she wants, we give her something so she can close the matter. Alyssa, I can't lose Celina" Raffa pleaded with Alyssa, as the man talked away from the woman.

"It is better to spread money on the street than to give to fraudsters" Alyssa said.

"Why are you so sure he's cheating ? at that time I was drunk Al, the act could have happened" said Raffa slowly look awkward.

Alyssa smiled at Raffa's behavior that looked embarrassed and regretful.

"Udah, let me take care of the woman, Celina's big brother" said Alyssa as she pushed

Although confused, Raffa finally entered the store, the man remembered his wife who had entered while crying.

"Well, are you here again ? hurry up and go" Alyssa.

"Who are you going to throw me out, who are you ?" ask the woman.

"I'm his sister, why ? I can't believe your trick, first, you're not necessarily pregnant. Second, even if pregnant is not necessarily my brother's child. So get you out of here before I call the police on fraud grounds" Alyssa threatened.

"Awas you, I will spread that Raffa is a cowardly man who does not want to be held responsible" the woman replied.

"Then what do you want ? you'll see for yourself that he's family ?" reply Alyssa.

"At least she has to compensate me for what she did, she has to pay for her baby's life" she said.

"Oh now that you're in the stage of blackmail, you want to blackmail my brother with your trick, you think we'll just believe it. You can come again after bringing the DNA test evidence from the child you bear" said Alyssa then entered the store.

From inside the shop Alyssa noticed the woman's behavior, looking at the woman who was confused. Alyssa smiled then stepped into Celina's office.

Raffa is still trying to persuade his wife. Celina who sat crying at her desk, her hands resting on her head that hurt. Celina cried not listening to Raffa's words.

The girl stood away from Raffa, the man immediately chased after her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, but trust me, I never intended to betray you. I love you Celina, where maybe I did that on purpose. Maybe because I'm drunk, maybe I didn't realize I was doing that. But believe me, I'll finish, I don't want to be separated from you" Raffa pleaded with his wife.

"I can't stand my sister, I can't imagine my sister hugging that woman. I can't share it with her, I can't, better let me go sister" Celina said as she continued to cry.

"No Celina, please don't leave me. I can't live without you. No, please believe me, I will finish this" Raffa pleaded with Celina.

"What will my sister do ? brother wants to throw him out ? ignoring brother's own flesh blood ? my sister did that. It's the same as my sister's family did to me" Celina cried.

The girl was sad, Celina did not want to part with Raffa but also could not share love with other women. The girl really felt her heart ache. While Raffa still does not want Celina to leave him. Trying to persuade Celina to forgive him.

Alyssa walked into Celina's office, Raffa and Celina instantly stared question mark at the girl.

"I told him to go, brother, I asked for your personal assistant's mobile number, I'll ask him, maybe he knows something about that woman. We must have the preparation to refute his allegations" Alyssa said.

Raffa picks up his cell phone and sends David's number to Alyssa.

"Alyssa, why would you throw him out ? it's the same way you expel the flesh of Raffa's brother, Raffa's own descendant" Celina said.

"I told him to come back if he could bring proof that the child he was carrying was Raffa's older son. But I don't think it will be possible" Alyssa said.

"Why are you so sure ?" ask Raffa.

"First, why is it that he's suing you now ? after a few months have passed ? Second, if indeed the brother slept with him, what he brought was not the recording on the bar, but in the room. I think he's a special plot to blackmail rich men who are drunk" explained Alyssa.

"I salute you, how can a little girl like you think so well ?" raffa was amazed.

"First, don't think I'm a kid. Second, I'm an outsider, so I think more clearly than you. Raffa was immediately busy wanting to solve this problem by paying for it. Celina, instantly panicked in fear of losing her husband, how can you guys be so clear-minded ?" Alyssa.

"Good thing is that you are in a crucial moment like this, otherwise we will be trapped by the deceitful girl" Raffa said, hugging Alyssa.

Alyssa immediately pushed Raffa, she felt bad because Celina knew how she felt about Raffa. If in the past when he was a child Raffa often hugged him it does not matter because no one knows what is in his heart.

Raffa already considers Alyssa like his own sister, when he was a child Raffa most happy to disturb him to make Alyssa cry. But after that he himself will persuade her. Raffa had even asked Alyssa to be his sister, Kevin's parents of course could only laugh at the request of his son's best friend.

But as he grows up, Raffa grows into a charming, calm but powerful magnet attracting girls. Including the heart of little girl Alyssa, who must finally make her brother Kevin wary of the charm of Raffa.

Celina smiled as she looked at the red hue on Alyssa's face as Raffa wanted to hug her. Shortly after, David arrives and asks what happened.

"Did I ever go with a woman in a bar while drunk ?" raffa asked immediately as David arrived.

"I don't know, Ms. Celina, I always escort Mr. Raffa to take him home" David explained to Celina to also remember that he took Raffa home.

"Nobody escaped your control ?" alyssa asked firmly.

"No miss Alyssa, when Mr. Raffa looks troubled, I will always be by his side" David said firmly.

Yes, when Raffa has a problem and looking for an outlet David always accompanies, even though Raffa does not invite him. Secretly David was always around Raffa. Keep it from happening worse things to his boss and his best friend.

"When Mr. Raffa's drunkenness sometimes forgets himself, the last time that Mr. Raffa thought the woman before him was Mrs Celina. Mr. Raffa actually complained and vented his heart on the woman he did not know. I was sitting not far from him so I could hear him" David explained.

"Sir David heard Raffa's outpouring of hearts ?" ask Celina.

David nodded.

"I don't want Mr. Raffa's sad feelings to be used by those women to ensnare him, after all Mr. Raffa is a handsome CEO who is the target of women who want to enjoy a luxurious life" david clear.

"What problems did David hear ?" ask Celina curiously.

"Dear, shame on David and Alyssa" said Raffa.

"They already know all, sir David know what the problem of Raffa and Alyssa even expel the woman, let alone that makes you embarrassed ?" ask Celina.

David and Alyssa smiled, hearing the husband and wife debate.

Raffa immediately lowered his head while holding the base of his nose in embarrassment.

"Because I got a photo from Miss Keira showing..."

"Stop.don't go on" Celina said as she covered her face.

"What did I say too ? don't ask ?" raffa said as she grabbed Celina in her arms.

"Hm.. Hm.. display what ? don't stop me being curious" Alyssa asked David.

The man smiled very sweetly, glancing at Celina who was shaking her head in her husband's arms. Raffa immediately held his wife who hid her face while laughing.

"Mr Kevin was kissing Miss Celina, even though the phone was slammed and the screen cracked but I still had time to see it" the man laughed.

Alyssa was shocked to hear David's explanation to the astonishment.

"There was such an event ? I'm really far behind" Alyssa said with a laugh.

"I must therefore always be prepared to expel those women who tried to harass Mr Raffa's household, who tried to approach him to destroy their household or who tried to take advantage of the situation to blackmail him" David said.

"Just my guess, Brother David, there is now a woman who wants to blackmail Raffa. Brother David helped to deny it yes, she came in a pregnant condition" explained Alyssa.

"It was clearly a fraud, the most recent incident is three months, where the content may have been seen in that age" said David.

"True, for the sake of showing the content he did not estimate the amount of gestational age that does not match the date of the incident" said Alyssa.

"Miss Alyssa was right, I think the pregnant appearance was used to make people panic and follow her will" said David.

"We're lucky to have people like you protecting us" Celina said.

Raffa nodded, Alyssa and David smiled.

"By the way is Mr David already married ?" ask Celina.

"Not yet mistress" David replied while blushing.

"Then you have a wife ?" ask Celina again.

Celina's endless questions made Alyssa stupefied.

"Not a mistress" replied David.

"Then have a girlfriend ?" ask Celina again.

"Not yet" replied David.

"But some say that Mr David already has a girlfriend ? ask Celina.

Raffa looked at his wife's astonishment, while Alyssa scratched her non-itchy head.

"I want to go home first" said Alyssa directly.

"Wait, I want to confirm your words, didn't you say Mr. David already has a girlfriend ?" ask Celina.

"What is this, baby ?" ask Raffa to Celina.

Celina just smiled, while crossing her index finger on her lips.

"I heard at the hospital that David's brother called a woman and said he loved her" Alyssa said, bowing in a voice that grew quieter and slower.

"Miss Anna ? that's my mother. I always called my mother like that to persuade her" David said with a laugh.

Alyssa was flabbergasted, Celina laughed while Raffa still looked confused.

"Sister, if the woman's problem is finished we gather in the villa yes brother, we invite all, also Mr. David and Alyssa" Celina told Raffa.

Alyssa blushed and so did David.

"Well, we solve this problem and then we take a vacation. You do not reject the request of this pregnant woman" said Raffa.

"Mrs Celina is pregnant again ? then congratulations madam, Mr. Raffa, hopefully always healthy" said David.

"Thank you David" Celina replied.

After a light conversation, David immediately reminded Raffa of the meeting schedule at a hotel. Celina looked at her husband.

"Don't worry madam, I always escort Mr. Raffa" David said with a smile.

"Only meeting with colleagues, I go first baby" said Raffa while kissing his wife's lips.

Alyssa and David looked away, but they saw each other, Alyssa and David both smiled.

After waiting for the woman who holds Raffa accountable it does not appear. The evidence Alyssa requested and her threat made the woman dare not appear before them again.

"I'm planning to betroth Alyssa and Mr David, do you agree ?" ask Celina.

"I refused" said Raffa.

"Why ? mr. David is good, always be nice to me, I love Alyssa too, I want her to get a good man, me too..."

"No, don't talk long. I said like that just following the style of an older brother who always rejects any man who wants to get close to his sister" Raffa said while cupping Celina's face.

"So not serious ? just following the style of an older brother ? is Raffa's brother Alyssa ?" ask Celina.

"Just ask Kevin's parents they must say I'm Alyssa's sister" Raffa said.

"Alright, alright I believe" Celina said.

Celina smiled, it seemed like Raffa was unaware of Alyssa's feelings towards her all along. Raffa really considers Alyssa like her little sister.

"It is beautiful to have an older brother like Raffa who is so protective of his sister" said Celina.

"I refuse to protect you. As a brother, I will protect you as a husband. After all, don't you have a sister now ?" asked Raffa who was replied nod by Celina.

"But she is far away, I also want to feel protection from her" Celina said.

"Although far away, but the power of protection can get here. Until now I am still afraid of him, not of him, but of his threats that will take you away from me" Raffa said with a smile.

Celina smiled, now that girl has indeed had an older sister. More and more people want to protect her Alyssa, David, Kevin and Keira.

Celina was also very grateful that they did not fall into the trap of the evil woman.

Raffa hugged his wife tightly on the balcony of her room. Also grateful for being able to keep Celina by her side. Raffa wants to be with the woman he loves forever.

"I love you" said Raffa always renewing his love statement while uniting their lips, as deep as they wanted.
