Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 14

...I'm Back...

In a pavilion in the house. Two people were talking happily. Accompanied by the sound of water gurgling and fish tail splashing. Irene and Grandma Heera were chatting a lot of things. While Long An, engrossed in playing water in a pond filled with many small fish. A jovial sound of laughter came out from the mouth of the genius boy. Irene and Grandma Heera were just observing the genius boy's behavior.

“Grandma, glad you're back here.” Grandma Heera opened the conversation.

“If, in hindsight how far I have escaped. I'll keep coming back. Maybe there's something I need to finish here. Hence, destiny asked me back.” Irene answered with a smile. His eyes looked towards Long An who was playing with water.

Grandma Heera smiled.

“Are you planning on looking for that person?”

Irene who heard Grandma Heera's question. I looked up and looked at Grandma. He shook his head.

“I didn't plan like that. I just want, Long An has a bright future. Can realize his dream of becoming a legendary karate athlete. At least, a dream I can't make. Can be realized by it.”

Grandma Heera smiled at Irene's reply.

“But are you sure. Your son doesn't just want his dream to come true?” Ask grandma Heera.

Shortly after hearing Grandma Heera's question. Irene felt choked. He recalled the picture that Long An had drawn. A picture of a man without a face. Unresolved image of his little son. Irene was trying to dodge like anything. Deep in his little heart. He realized that Long An, too, wanted to meet someone who was dripping blood on him. Irene could only sigh deeply and stare at the sky that looked so high. So far and wide without limits.

The twilight wind blows slowly. Irene and Long An who had been to Heera's grandmother's house. Now continue the journey. A journey to a tomb. The tomb located on the outskirts of the capital looks clean. Looks like Heera's grandmother kept her promise to take care of her father's grave. When Irene went to America. Long An who saw the grave of his grandfather, immediately sat beside the tomb. Put down the lotus flower that he brought and prayed in his heart. Pray that his grandfather will be given a beautiful place in heaven. Irene stared at her father's grave.

Dad, I'm home. Irene said in her heart.

Now, a glimpse of the past. Dancing in her eyes. Irene was in her early 20s. Seen walking down the sidewalk. Step with a feeling of annoyance at the same time sad. His golden opportunity must again be let go. Irene paused for a moment and looked at the sky so vast without limit. The sky was bright at that time, with white clouds moving. However, all of that was inversely proportional to the fate that Irene had to live. The breath he took sounded heavy. There is only********weight heard from her tiny lips.

“Langit... You are so bright and cheerful today. Can't you just share your joy with me?” Irene asked as if talking to the sky.

Irene tried to hold back her tears that were about to come out. He tried to hold back his tears. Don't let anyone else see it. Then, with one breath. Irene tried to walk upright. Take a bus to somewhere. The only place where Irene was was feeling sad and lonely. The place Irene was heading to was none other than her father's grave. Her father died when Irene was 12 years old.

Now, Irene could only sit on her father's grave. Hugging a gravestone that says Deon Maxzella. Irene could no longer, holding back her tears. Tears can be seen pouring down Irene's cheeks. His cries sounded heartbreaking.

“Dad... why...why did you leave so quickly? Did you see how I was doing here? Mom just threw me away and left me. Dad ... I really can't hold on anymore. Fathering…. Miss you…. I'm so lonely here.” Said Irene in the middle of her heartbreaking sobs. It sounds so sad and heartbreaking.

Irene came late to work, not without reason. He always held to his father's message. Irene planted everything her father had entrusted to her.

This morning, Irene woke up early and prepared everything well. She was wearing a white top and a black subordinate skirt. Irene was a little sad to see her white clothes were worn and worn. But, he immediately encouraged himself not to be sad about trivial things. It's a chance he gets a decent job and in a good place.

“Rene, this is your chance. So let's get excited!” Irene said encouraging herself.

When you are done getting ready. Irene immediately rushed to the interview spot. He deliberately left early so as not to be late. That morning, Irene chose to take a motorcycle taxi and reached out rather deeply. To get to the interview quickly. But, while driving for a while. Suddenly there was traffic jam. The condition of the highway is in total traffic jam because of the road cover. Many cars are stuck in traffic. While Irene and her motorcycle can slightly pass through the car gap to be able to move. Although it should be slow. However, suddenly a middle-aged man intercepted him.

Mr. Ojek who hugged Irene immediately replied.

“But, I'm carrying passengers Pak.”

Irene saw that the fathers who intercepted her motorcycle were having a hard time. His car was stuck in traffic and his employer's asthma had recurred. So, it must be taken to the hospital immediately. Without thinking much longer. Irene got off the bike.

“Pak, it's okay. You deliver it first who is sick.” Irene said willingly to Mr. Ojek.

Then Irene and the father who intercepted him earlier. Immediately took out a grandmother whose breath was wheezing. It seems hard to breathe.

“Grandma, let me help.” Irene said while picking up the grandmother on a motorcycle.

“Tight grip nek.” Irene.

The grandmother could only nod and her breath was still wheezing. While holding his chest.

“Pak, please deliver this grandma first yes.” Irene.

Mr. Ojek nodded and immediately drove his vehicle slowly through the streets.

“Be careful Sir!” Irene cried out full of relief because it could help a grandmother who was in trouble. Later, the grandmother Irene helped was Heera's grandmother.

Then, Irene looked at the clock that was coiling in her hand. The time is 07:45 in the morning. Less than 15 minutes from the scheduled interview. If Irene waits for Mr. Ojeknya is definitely impossible. So, inevitably Irene took the initiative to run to the interview place which was quite decent distance. That's why Irene was late for the interview.

Flashback when Irene came late to the job interview ended.

Now, Irene was seen still crying sobbing at her father's grave. A flash as a child danced in his mind.

“Dad, why did you give money to those mothers? Don't we also need money?” Little Irene asked her father.

The father smiled.

“Daddy is still working strong and can make money again. While the mothers are old and no longer strong work. So, there is no harm in us helping people who need.”

“But we also need money.” Irene said plainly.

Again Irene's father smiled warmly.

“Helping someone won't make us lose. That would be a differentiator of one's personal qualities. If you are an adult. I wish you would be like a lotus flower. Although it grows in mud it can flower beautifully. I'm sure your son has incredible kindness. Be someone with good personal qualities like a lotus flower. The smallest kindness. Won't make you lose.” Said the father while stroking the head of his only daughter. Little Irene smiled at her father's message. He secretly kept all those messages in his heart and mind.

Irene is an adult. Keep remembering his father's message. That the slightest good will not make us lose. He was trying to strengthen himself. Living the increasingly steep wheel of life he must pass through. But, will Irene's fate continue to fall into misfortune? Without Irene guessing, the stroke of fate she was about to walk through had changed slowly. What fate will Irene live next?
