Child Genius - Beyond Recollection
CHAPTER 81 ~ Book Past ~

Nazolla hugged the doll that Celina gave her with her eyes closed. Celina silently let the little girl hug her gift doll. Celina lowered her head to remove the clear speck that appeared in the corner of her eyes. The little girl opened her eyes and smiled, Celina returned the smile. Nazolla hugged Celina and kissed the cheek of the kindhearted woman.

Doctor Dino was downcast with a smile, his heart had been steady. Holding the will from his late wife, the man stepped towards Celina. However, suddenly a handsome man came to Celina. The man looked so familiar to her and Celina welcomed him warmly.

"Sister Kevin?" greet Celina.

Doctor Dino's steps came to a halt, looking at Celina's familiarity and the handsome man. Doctor Dino backed down and kept the letter he had just held back. His heart suddenly felt sore, now the man just wanted to leave the place immediately.

Luckily Nazolla was looking for her father to show off her beautiful doll so that Doctor Dino could take her away from the store.

"Papa, Lala was given a doll with that beautiful aunt. The aunt said that this doll was given by Mama Lala who had become an angel" Lala told me while in the car.

"Papa, isn't the doll pretty?" ask Lala.

Doctor Dino was silent, the man was just focusing on driving.

"Papa, just shut up? Lala asked why not answer?" ask Lala.

Doctor Dino gasped after hearing Lala's voice loud enough. The man turned to his daughter and asked her to repeat the question. Lala sulks no longer to discuss. Doctor Dino regrets, regrets not listening to her son but even more regrets not being able to make Celina a mother for her child.

I'm sorry dear, it's papa's fault. Papa's late, he has had someone now, Inner Doctor Dino.

The man took a heavy breath, his regret was really deep. The man even shed tears.

I'm sorry Lily, I'm sorry Papa Lala, Doctor Dino's scream.

Since then Doctor Dino has never dared again to express his desire to marry Celina. All those desires were drowning in his heart. His wife's request to make Celina a mother for her daughter could not be fulfilled. His wife's will was drowned behind her desk drawer.

Doctor Dino kept that feeling for more than two years until Doctor Dino was asked to buy health props at the bookstore. The hospital where Doctor Dino practices has collaborated with bookstore Celina in providing all kinds of hospital management needs.

For years Doctor Dino didn't set foot in Celina's store again. However, this time he was forced to come to the bookstore that held many memories for him. Doctor Dino tries to avoid Celina, even hoping that the girl does not work there anymore.

"Doctor Dino" said someone.

Doctor Dino turned his head, without even seeing the doctor had actually recognized the soft voice. His heart is beating fast. The man tried to smile.

"justified? This is Doctor Dino?" tanya Celina wanted to make sure.

Doctor Dino smiled.

"How are you doing Celina?" ask Doctor Dino for a little chat.

"Well, it's been a long time since I saw a doctor. What's the news" Celina asked kindly as she extended her hand.

Doctor Dino welcomed Celina's handshake with a pounding heart.

"There's a need for what the doctor came here. Maybe I can help?" ask Celina.

The girl had now served as a supervisor, talking with an ever-expanding smile left Doctor Dino mesmerized.

"Doctor? What's the point of Doctor Dino coming here, can I help you?" ask Celina again.

The man nodded and immediately replied.

"Finding you, eemm.I mean to take the goods in the hospital message" said Dr. Dino.

"Oh, usually the hospital management department who comes to pick up the goods ordered" said Celina

"Yes, it just so happens that I need it" replied Doctor Dino.

Is he married now? Sure enough, a girl like herself could not live alone, surely many were after her, Inner Doctor Dino.

Celina wanted to ask her employees about Doctor Dino's order. However, his steps stopped because of the doctor's speech.

"I think I have answers to questions about the advantages that Ozora has" said the neurology doctor.

Doctor Dino explains the origin of the intelligence Ozora possesses. Things he had known for a long time but was hindered from revealing because of the request of his wife who wanted to match them.

Makes Doctor Dino feel uncomfortable meeting with Celina. However, this time it was precisely her diagnosis that was the reason for her to talk to Celina.

This opportunity was also used to explain the death and his wife's request to arrest Celina. Doctor Dino hopes to deliver the message of his wife who has been buried for more than two years.

However, Celina's expression that was shocked by her diagnosis of Ozora made the doctor recede revealing his intentions.

"Brain injury?" it was Celina at that time.

Doctor Dino's explanation that alluded to the brain injury caused by choking it actually made Celina panic. Celina staggered, shocked to hear the explanation made Doctor Dino stop saying her point. Her desire to make Celina a mother for her child was dashed.

Back the doctor backed away from his intention, until one day Lala asked him.

"Papa" said Lala hesitatingly.

"What's up, baby?" ask Doctor Dino.

Lala bowed, the girl seemed hesitant to ask him.

"What's wrong? papa's beautiful daughter wants to ask what?" ask Doctor Dino.

"Mothers at school ask who Lala's mother is? Lala said mom was already an angel in heaven. Why not find a new mother? The mother said she wanted to be Lala's mom but Lala didn't because she was grumpy, Lala didn't like it. Papa, Lala says someone wants to be Lala's mom. The mother asked what was his name? What does Lala have to answer?" ask Lala.

Doctor Dino was stunned actually quickly he could answer it. The name of someone who has filled his heart these past few years. But the reality is still difficult to realize. Lala wants an answer.

"Celina, the name of the person who will become Lala's mother is Celina" said Doctor Dino finally.

Lala smiled, whether she knew the person or just because she could get a name, the little girl felt very happy. Whenever anyone asked her what her mother's name was she would answer 'Celina'.

Unwitting Doctor Dino, his daughter always keeps that name in her heart. Until finally the little girl actually met with Celina. He who had forgotten had met Celina in the bookstore even gave her a doll.

While Celina who met a lot of children did not realize that the little girl who was choosing shampoo was the child she had entertained with a doll made by her orphanage.

"Tante's name is Celina, this beautiful girl is Lala huh?" greet Celina.

Hearing the name called, Lala immediately looked at Celina with a sad look. The name he had always kept in his heart without knowing who it was. Lala was so happy, the name she heard from the mouth of a kind and beautiful woman. The person she had always been waiting for was in front of her eyes. Lala suddenly hugged Celina.

"Mama" said Lala.

Lala did not want to let go of her embrace even though her father persuaded, the little girl actually cried. The unbearable Celina finally let Lala hug her. Celina gently persuaded Lala, showing her affection for the little girl. What Celina used to do with little kids.

But that attitude actually makes Lala more and more unable to escape from him.

"Mama, mama" said Lala still crying.

"Pa, we take mom home too yes" said Lala who had been imprinted Celina's name as her mother.

Doctor Dino ends up looking for another reason, the man is embarrassed in front of Celina because his daughter recognizes Celina as her mother. Her embarrassment grew when Lala insisted that Doctor Dino herself say Celina is her mother.

Doctor Dino fluttered and panicked until he finally snapped at his daughter. The thing that Celina disliked the most, Doctor Dino's misbehavior because of embarrassment made Lala cry.

"Don't be so doctor, it's not good to yell at the child" Celina defended and immediately hugged Lala and then dyed the top of the little girl's hair.

To be honest in the heart of the doctor was very happy Lala was defended by Celina. Her heart was happy to see the attitude of Celina who loved her daughter so much. But Celina's question made her come back.

"Why did Lala say her mother was Celina?" asked Celina at the time.

Because I want you to be her mother, because I want to marry you, because I'm in love with you, Doctor Dino screamed.

All of those words were impossible for him to say until Doctor Dino could only give irrelevant excuses. Doctor Dino says because Lala likes Ozora so much and wants to have a mama like her mama Ozora.

Doctor Dino was silent while Lala just stared at Celina's lamat-goals. The little girl still called Celina with a mama call with a face wet from tears. Celina could not bear it and finally resignedly let the little girl call mama to him.

The remembered Celina had to go home immediately to take care of her son and wanted to say goodbye to the little girl

"Well if that's the case now mama went home first huh" Celina said then stood up but Lala held Celina's hand while shaking her head.

Doctor Dino immediately invited Lala to take her groceries.

"Yes, we go home with mom but we took Lala's groceries earlier" said Dr. Dino.

Lala agreed and immediately ran to where the boy had put his groceries. Doctor Dino manages to distract Lala from Celina. The man looked at Celina with a glare then asked Celina to come home.

Celina finally leaves while Doctor Dino soon meets her daughter. Distracting Lala and making her forget Celina. However, still when the girl remembered, her head turned to the right and left looking for the woman she loved.

The girl's tears flowed back, Lala lowered her head, she knew that Celina had left. Doctor Dino acted as if he had never met Celina. After paying for all his groceries. The man invites Lala to unbox their groceries and discusses them.

Sometimes the little girl was hooked but sometimes came back to remember Celina. Every time she remembered Lala's sad facial expression, Doctor Dino cried alone.

"Sorry, is Celina's mom in place?" doctor Dino asked a waiter.

After three months passed Doctor Dino finally strengthened her heart to see Celina. The man wanted to finish his feelings that could no longer stand a chance.

Celina had married and had even given birth to her second child. Doctor Dino even helped check the health of the daughter of the woman he loved. Doctor Dino could not hang his own feelings because it was so exhausting.

"Doctor Dino? Please sit down" said Celina when she saw Doctor Dino coming.

There was a feeling of fear if Doctor Dino found out the bad facts to his daughter. Celina was so anxious when she saw Doctor Dino specifically coming to her.

"Is there anything bad going on with my daughter?" ask Celina.

"No Celina, this has nothing to do with Aurora. Your daughter is doing well, nothing bad has been found in her" said Dr. Dino.

Celina stroked her chest, sometimes the girl felt worried about leaving her daughter at home, but because her duties and obligations at the store made her have to start working.

"I'm sorry doctor but what does the doctor need to see me for?" ask Celina.

Doctor Dino took out a letter he had kept for a long time. The letter that had been back and forth was brought to be given to Celina.

"That was the letter Lily wrote before she died. This letter is intended for you but I have not had time to give it" said Doctor Dino, staring at the letter he had placed in front of Celina.

Although astonished, Celina finally took the letter in front of her. Open it slowly while wondering what it is. Celina read the letter with a sad expression even shedding tears.

During the reading of the letter her memory floated on the figure of Lily who was kind, beautiful and smiling. During her time hanging out with him, Lily had regarded Celina as her sidekick instead of a customer to be served like a king.

Celina rubbed her eyes several times to wipe away the water that was about to spill from those beautiful eyes. As long as Celina read Doctor Dino could only look at the girl's face with a painful feeling.

"But doctor, you certainly know I can't keep up with Lily's request because I have...,"

"I know, I'm not suing you to fulfill that request because I'm late in handing you the letter. Maybe this is our destiny" said Doctor Dino, sighing heavily.

Celina no longer needed to explain her status because Doctor Dino knew that Celina was married and met her husband several times. Celina bowed down, the girl was at a loss to respond to Doctor Dino's remark.

"Doctor, this letter is not too late. Because even though I am not married, the request in this letter still cannot be fulfilled" Celina said.

Doctor Dino was downcast, from his words Celina showed that even though he was not married at the time, Celina still could not fulfill the request of his late wife. Silent for a moment but then Celina again revealed her obstructed heart.

"Do the doctors know why this letter was too late for me? That's because the doctor still can't release Lily's mother from the doctor's heart. Until finally the doctor postponed to convey it to me" Celina said.

Doctor Dino silently heard Celina's words.

"Just like me, I can't let Ozora's father out of my heart. Even though we were not married at the time but she has already settled in my heart. Even though this letter came faster, I still could not fulfill the request mbak Lily, Doctor" said Celina.

Doctor Dino smiled at the look of regret that emanated from Celina's face. But that just relieved his feelings. Celina's words made the feeling of regret disappear from her because she always felt late in handing over her will.

Celina's words show that as soon as she hands the letter, Celina still can't fulfill Lily's request to marry him for having someone in her heart.

"Alright, I'm relieved now. My promise to my late wife to deliver the letter has been fulfilled. There is no more wedge in my heart" said Doctor Dino with a smile.

A moment later the man stood up to leave.

"Oh yeah, I'll look for medical equipment for a bit. Please continue the work" said Doctor Dino as he stepped out of Celina's office.

"I took the doctor" Celina said with a laugh.

"There is no need for a Manager who serves a customer" said Doctor Dino smiling.

"But it's a special customer if it's not well served, I don't get the best check for my daughter" Celina joked.

"Where is possible" said Dr. Dino also laughed.

Celina escorts Doctor Dino in search of the medical equipment she needs. Raffa came and asked his wife.

"Mother Celina's in her office?" raffa asked a waiter.

"So sir, did I take my father to my mother's office?" said the shopkeeper.

"No, let me be alone" said Raffa.

The man directly knocked on the door and entered Celina's room. But the man did not find his wife there. Raffa was about to move out when his eyes were fixed on a piece of paper on his wife's desk.

Raffa was interested to see the letter and was surprised to read its contents.
