Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 72 ~ In Reception ~

Alyssa's engagement party preparations are fully assisted by Celina, Raffa, Kevin and Keira. They all insisted on wanting to participate for the girl's happy day. They just set the building that was used as the location of the engagement event.

Together they walk casually to a restaurant with an open nature concept. Restaurant that provides a place to eat in the middle of the park equipped with a fish pond and fountain.

"It's nice to be this little sister, in love with everyone, to be noticed by everyone, to all want to help, to all want to give my best, I'm so envious to see it" celina said as she walked flanking Alyssa's arm.

"Lack of attention is everyone to you to make you feel envious" said Alyssa as she hugged Celina with all her might, making the girl difficult to breathe.

"Gold may, but do not kill people" said Raffa pulled the body of his wife in the strong embrace Alyssa.

"This sister, she was my brother first rather than your wife" Alyssa protested to Raffa.

Everyone who was there laughed, Raffa died a flea.

"Well you win, the longer this little brother the smarter he can fight his brother. But as smart as you turned out to still be deceived" said Raffa.

Everyone stared at Raffa with astonished looks. No one understood the man's words.

"Can you trick me how do you mean brother?" ask Celina.

"Just ask David how? I know David already has a son and a wife in his village, right David?" ask David Raffa.

Alyssa was wide open to Raffa's words, just as the girl stared intently at David. The man was confused to get such a look, the others were staring at Raffa let alone Celina who was by his side. Her husband winked, Celina sighed, Kevin immediately smiled stifledly as well as Keira.

"Don't I've seen that time in the mall. I wanted to say hello but I didn't dare, was he visiting David?" ask Keira.

"I've also heard David talking whispers on his cell phone. Apparently being contacted is the same one that is far away" Kevin added.

David is getting confused with a series of attacks. Alyssa immediately asked for an explanation, her eyes started to tear up. The girl even cried, David tried to calm her down by hugging her. Alyssa wriggled to take off David's hand and looked back at the man.

"No Alyssa, don't believe it, they're all lies" said David, who stared intently at Raffa.

"Raffa please, if in this case I don't care if you are my boss, why accuse me like this. Look at Alyssa so blame me" David said begging Raffa.

Raffa just laughed casually, Celina did nothing to calm Alyssa down. Keira and Kevin, too. They seemed to not care about the newly engaged couple's relationship was now shaken.

Alyssa was about to move away from them.

"That means what I said, right, Alyssa? although it's getting smarter but you can still be tricked?" ask Raffa.

The girl stopped walking and turned to look at Raffa. Alyssa was getting upset to hear Raffa's insinuations as if she was an easy woman to deceive men.

"You were not deceived by Mr. David but in the deceit of Raffa" said Celina who could not bear to see her best friend sad.

"What do you mean?" ask Alyssa.

"David has no children and wife, you are from childhood do not get bored - his boss is bullied Raffa, still believe in his words" said Kevin with a laugh.

Alyssa immediately chased after Raffa and beat the man's arm. David breathed a sigh of relief, Celina and Keira laughed. Tired of beating Raffa, Alyssa's eyes turned to Celina.

"You also know, if Raffa just pranking me, look out, feel my revenge" said Alyssa wanted to pursue Celina.

Celina looked up at Alyssa who wanted to do something to her. Raffa grabbed his wife and hugged her.

"Of course she knows but a wife must submit to her husband. So, even if she was your brother first rather than my wife, I would never lose to you. He will be more obedient to me" said Raffa who was immediately pursued again by Alyssa.

"Oh, I have, you'll be tired. There is still a lot to be prepared, do not let you get tired and fall ill" said David while hugging Alyssa.

"That's what your future husband said" Keira said.

Alyssa immediately let go of David's embrace and turned to Keira.

"Sir, our business is not finished yet? wait for my revenge, Keira also followed me, just be careful if Ozora in my hand, I will not share with you" said Alyssa with a frown.

The two girls are always struggling when they meet Ozora. They always wanted to master that handsome boy. If Ozora is with one of them then the others can only look at him. The boy's attention and smile are the two women's new favorites.

"Because you mentioned Ozora's name, I was a miss with that kid" Keira said suddenly moody.

"Ozora's name means wide sky, I gave him that name hoping that the boy is loved by many, as much and as wide as the sky. Because of her kindness and her boundless prowess like the vast sky" Alyssa recalled giving Ozora her name when she was a baby.

"Then I also want you to name my son" Keira said touching Alyssa's arm.

"May but pregnant first brother, if not pregnant for what is the name ready" said Alyssa who was replied with a smile and a tight nod by Keira.

"What does this mean?" ask Alyssa.

"Have you...?" ask Celina.

Keira nodded again, the two girls in front of Keira immediately hugged her. They were moved to shed tears.

"Fastly, I salute you" said Alyssa.

"Congratulations" said Raffa patting Kevin on the shoulder.

The man smiled as he blushed. David also congratulated his future brother-in-law.

"Keira was too excited to give a younger sister to Ozora" Kevin said.

Keira lets go of her embrace with Alyssa and Celina. The girl immediately protested to her husband.

"It wasn't the brother who always reminded me to keep my promise to Ozora" Keira replied.

"Because you promised the boy. Yes, we must immediately obey" said Kevin increasingly quibbled.

"So now it's Ozora's fault?" ask Celina.

"YES.. !!" kevin and Keira at the same time.

"Goat blackened a child, but did you want to be alone, Ozora again to blame?" Alyssa.

"Hm mm, even though in their hearts they are proud to succeed so quickly, but the nonsense instead blames my son" said Celina.

Celina's words with a face that pretended to be pouting made everyone laugh. This is happy news, Celina reflex rubs her stomach which has also begun to enlarge even when using a loose dress containing Celina is still not so visible.

They had been sitting at a large round table, going around facing each other. Looking at Celina who rubbed her stomach, Alyssa immediately asked.

"How many months' road? have you been caught by a man or a woman?" ask Alyssa.

"These mothers are really careless, right? so born again have people look for names like that?" alyssa pretended to object.

Celina laughed, the girl was sure that Alyssa would soon prepare a name for her son later be it a boy or a girl. Hearing their conversation, Keira was also interested in joining.

"If really a little sister means one desire Ozora achieved" Keira said sitting next to Celina looking at her best friend's stomach.

"Yes and get ready for the other desire of Ozora" Celina said, pointing with her eyes fixed on Alyssa's stomach.

Alyssa who was mentioned by Celina in that case immediately bowed in shame, David also did. The two couples went all out at the temptations of his brothers.

"The date of the recipe is accelerated, auntie Al, let go, fear when the party, adek born so adek can not attend" said Celina spoke as if representing the child she contains.

"Yes adek, we try as soon as possible, pray it will be smooth yes adek" said Alyssa rubbing Celina's stomach.

"Ya auntie" Celina replied and looked at Alyssa with a smile.

They hugged each other, two girls who had felt like brother and sister were crying each other. I am happy with all the problems they faced. They are thankful that they can still love each other.

All those present stared with haru feelings, no one did not know what kind of hard life struggle Celina to feel happy life. The girl even had to receive bad treatment from all of them.

However, Celina had absolutely no feelings of resentment, the girl was grateful for their meeting and friendship. Celina who grew up in an orphanage feels grateful now to have friends who have been considered family like them.

The engagement was finally held, everyone present also felt the happiness of Alyssa and David. Celina reunites with Kevin's parents. Very surprised to see Celina's stomach that had grown.

"At the end of the day Aunt will also be holding grandchildren" Celina told Kevin's mother.

"Yes, hopefully everything goes smoothly, son, you and Keira can conceive and give birth smoothly, safely and healthily" said Ny. Melvianos.

"It's not too fast to pray ma'anya" said Keira.

"Yes no, do'a pregnant for you and do'a gave birth to Celina, both good luck, safe and healthy" said Kevin's mother while rubbing Keira's face.

Keira who flanked her mother-in-law's arm smiled faintly. Keira looks very spoiled to her mother-in-law and Kevin's mother looks very fond of her only son-in-law. During her mother-in-law's arrival in the city, Keira and Alyssa scramble for their mother to stay at her house.

Hearing that story Celina laughed, the story of the struggle between Keira and Alyssa was indeed often heard, from the fight over Kevin, Ozora and now his mother. Celina couldn't help but laugh at Kevin's mom's funny story.

Raffa and Kevin have joined, as have Mr and Mrs Saltano. The families were present and established friendship and familiarity. Raffa's family, Kevin's family, Jessica's family, Keira's family and now David's family have a younger brother.

All were familiar with no caste distinctions, although the David family came from a modest family but they had included the family into their big exit. Many of the heartwarming stories they got from the struggle to raise David to be able to get a scholarship in America until finally meeting with Raffa.

The ladies and gentlemen laughed together as they talked about their children's behavior. Especially as their children rise to adolescence. Raffa and Kevin's mischievous stories dominate those families' stories.

"That's what it's like to have boys, while we only have girls. Isn't jeng?" ask Mommy Keira to Miss. Cartwright.

"But the behavior of girls is no less unique, right? we also took part at Keira's wedding which had to be designed in such a way that the child did not run away" said Ny. Rowenna's.

"True jeng, oh my goodness, if yesterday was not so again, I can go to the heart hospital jeng" said mommy Keira.

Everyone laughed again to hear the funny story, until someone shed tears or mouth feels sore from laughing.

"So soon the story of children will be moved by the stories of our grandchildren" Rowenna said as their laughter subsided.

"Yes jeng, can't wait for Keira to give birth if she sees Ozora and Tita" said Kevin's mother.

"But we should be grateful that Keira was able to get pregnant quickly. This is really a boon, although Kevin was late to get married but apparently did not need to wait long, unlike me, quickly married but had a new child eight years later" said Rowenna.

The old men smiled at the story. Rowenna, what Ms. said. Rowenna was right, all to be grateful for. All kinds of trials and trials of life are valuable lessons for maturing the human person.

Everything that had felt bad, felt heavy and painful if it had been passed can be a story that actually makes them laugh. The family told stories and gathered until after the engagement was over.

"Alyssa don't set a wedding date too long? pity Celina if too long later her stomach gets bigger and even hunt for childbirth or delayed until her child is quite large" said Rowenna joking.

"Don't be late, it will be cold" said Mama Alyssa.

"Well, food can get cold?" ask Alyssa.

"You are, yes, then next year alone" said Mama Alyssa.

"Don't ma, it's late" Alyssa said.

"Take it fast" suggested Rowenna.

"Yes mommy, we talked to Celina. We will try as soon as possible" said Alyssa at last.

"That dong is good news" Rowenna said with a laugh.

Three months later, Alyssa's wedding reception was held. All has been worked on as quickly as possible but the situation and conditions do not allow to organize faster.

Celina's gestational age of almost nine months did not prevent her from attending the happy party of a friend who had been considered her brother. While continuing to hold the hand of Ozora who did not want to lose the opportunity to attend the wedding of his favorite auntie.

Even Alyssa asked Ozora to go on stage and sit with them. However, Celina did not approve.

"Later in the opinion of your child, already have a big child newly married can be a talk" said Celina.

Alyssa finally complied despite her disappointment, Ozora laughed at Alyssa's pouting expression.

"Let's see you again auntie" Ozora said as she waved her hand following her mother's walk to the guest table.

They sat at the guest table and attended the wedding reception. The women gathered at one table and the men at the other.

"Ma, Ozora's going to the toilet for a second huh" Ozora said to her mother.

Celina, who has not let go of her son in a single moment since the kidnapping of Ozora by Chicco, is about to stand to take her son to the toilet.

"Let me drive him" said Keira, who sat next to Ozora.

Keira who felt sorry to see the content of Celina who had been great took the initiative to deliver. Ozora refuses and says she can go to the toilet alone but her mother objected to Keira as well. Ozora finally ready to go among Keira.

Celina sat down quietly. Not long after that Celina received a message from an unknown number.

Don't tell anyone, meet me at the rooftop of this building or your son I'm throwing from the top of this building. Come alone or you will accept the consequences.

Celina trembled reading the message and immediately ran towards the elevator that led her to the rooftop.
