Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 23

... A Bond...

In a hall of a luxurious building decorated with beautiful flickering lights. There was a soft sound of classical music. The servants dressed in black and white clothes were seen going back and forth among the invited guests. The waiter was busy serving guests who came from the upper social class. They consist of businessmen and officials in this country. Everyone gathered while enjoying the dishes served. Friction of the violin combined with classical music makes the atmosphere more pleasant. The dishes served include very luxurious dishes. Guests wearing formal suits. The women wear beautiful dresses. It seemed to be flickering under the glowing light of a lamp.

The hall looks so lavishly decorated. In the middle of the hall there is a high-rise tart. Today is the birthday of Marvin Damariswara's eldest son. Who else if not the cold-hearted CEO, Ravindra Damariswara. That night, Ravindra looked very handsome. Wearing a black luxury tuxedo. Ravindra loves black. For him black radiated a mysterious aura. But on the other hand, black can also mean hidden feelings. Ravindra is seen standing while enjoying red wine. His narrowed eyes stared at the drink. Today is his 32nd birthday. Just like years ago. There is nothing special to Rava the familiar call of Ravindra.

Rava seemed reluctant to hang out with the other guests. He prefers to be alone. This birthday was arranged by his father. Not of his will. If he chooses, he prefers to be in the office and just work. Mr. Marvin deliberately made a birthday party Ravindra to gather businessmen and officials of this country . There is a hidden purpose behind it all is to lobby the higher-ups to want to agree on a guesthouse development proposal for athletes. If it works, then his name will soar and become a legend.

Mr. Marvin didn't do it himself. He was assisted by Rosalind and her father to lobby the higher-ups. Rosalind seemed to be enjoying the party. He really likes parties. Being among a high social caste feels good for Rosalind. That night, the brownish-haired girl appeared very conspicuous. Wearing a bright red dress with a fairly thick makeup. He greeted the businessmen and officials with a smile.

After greeting everyone. Rosalind approached Ravindra who was seen drinking alone. He smiled and rushed over to the man. Her steps are so graceful. After being close to Rava, his hands immediately coiled around the arms of the Handsome CEO. Ravindra looked ordinary and finished his drink.

“Rav, why don't you join the others? This party is really lively and fun.” Rosalind said with a radiant face.

Rava's face was so cold that he quickly let go of Rosalind's hand that was coiled around her. Then hurried to leave the woman without a word. Rosalind was irritated by Ravindra's attitude. He sees around him. Making sure no one saw anything to do with Rava wasn't so good. That would destroy his image as the fiancee of Ravindra the Handsome CEO. Rosalind immediately caught up with Ravindra with an annoyed face.

“Rav!! Rava wait!!” Shouted Rosalind while holding onto Ravindra's arm. After they were outside the party hall.

Ravindra violently threw Rosalind's hand.

“Why are you so annoying? Huh uh?! This party is for you. At least enjoy being with me as your fiancee. Don't embarrass me and my parents in front of the guests.” Rosalind said in an irritated tone.

“Tactualty? You and my father arranged for that unofficial fiancee. I never agreed to it.” Reply Ravindra cold.

Rosalind was grieving and getting annoyed.

“Although so, will not our relationship benefit many parties? So, why not just accept it and enjoy this party as a couple.” Said Rosalind trying to seduce Ravindra. His hand began to palpate the chest of the handsome man's field.

“This party, is not really a party for me. Don't you think I'm stupid. This party is only to gather people who have interests as part of the athlete guesthouse building plan is not it? You and my dad are so ambitious about wanting big names. So, get your hands off my body.” Ravindra said as she stared intently at Rosalind with her narrowed eyes.

His hand violently threw Rosalind's hand. This was accidentally witnessed by Mr. Marvin who immediately came to approach Rava. Without saying much Mr. Marvin directly slapped Ravindra.

*plak*!!

Mr. Marvin's slap was so loud. To make the corner of Rava's lips bleed. Rosalind who witnessed this immediately closed her mouth in surprise. Rava rubbed the blood slightly out of her lips. He looked coldly at his father.

“Dad, don't teach you to be rude to a woman.” Mr. Marvin said with angry eyes. His facial muscles looked tense due to his emotions. But he tried to hold back from getting any more angry.

Rava stared coldly at his father.

“Married? I'm not interested in a marriage. If you mean just now, should I be gentle with women? Then I had fun with them. So, producing an illegitimate child like you ever did? Is that what you mean?!”

“Ravindra!!” Hardik Mr. Marvin is so loud. His voice was so echoing.

His hands were already clenched about to hit Rava like that. Rosalind hastily stopped him.

“Uncle Marvin, stop this. In many important guests. Don't mess it all up.” Persuade Rosalind.

Mr. Marvin looked at Ravindra with a gaze full of anger. Rava just stared at his father coldly. But it looks calm. Then, Rava turned around and hurriedly stepped away from the place. While rubbing the corner of his lips that feel sore.

“That kid!!!” Mr. Marvin said he was still upset.

“Uncle take it easy. I know how Rava. For now we leave it first. We take care of the other guests.” Rosalind persuaded Mr. Marvin.

“Good.” Mr. Marvin replied while arranging his emotions so as not to explode like before. It's time to calm down and set the plan. Not to take care of her unruly son.

Ravindra was seen exiting the party building in annoyance. He then drove his luxury sports car and drove his vehicle at high speed. Through the night streets of the Capital. Again…. This time on her birthday. Ravindra began to feel a loneliness plunge into her heart. His heart was frozen like ice.

Ravindra drives his car around the Capital City. Don't know where to go, because he has no purpose. When he stopped at the red light, his eyes fell on the two people who were crossing the street. Those two people were none other than Long An and Irene. They join hands with each other. Little Long An looked carefree walking with his mother. No doubt the scenery makes Ravindra not blink. For some reason when I saw Long An and Irene laughing happily. There was a tremor enveloping his heart.

*tin! Tinn*!

The loud sound of the car horn behind him scattered the Ravindra reverie. Apparently the streetlight was already green, because it was watching Irene and Long An make Ravindra daydream. He rushed to his car. Before he was exposed to the rider's swearing in behind him.

Ravindra doesn't know where to go. Unknowingly his car followed where Long An and Irene were going. Slowly the black luxury sports car followed behind Long An and Irene. After following a while. Ravindra saw a large field. There is a high-rise building there. Turn around slowly. Decorated with colorful lights. Make the night in the open field look lively. The lights look on and the atmosphere is really lively. Many food vendors are neatly lined up. Surrounded by several playgrounds for children. Apparently, Irene and Long An went to a night market.

Slowly Ravindra got out of his car. Staring straight at Irene and Long An who looked happy. Such a sight he never got from his late mother before. The thing she wanted most as a child was the touch of a mother's warm hand. However, the little thing that he wanted was never obtained until the mother returned to the Divine lap, Ravindra could only lower her head. Cussing himself. Why is he even in the night market and following the kareka boy.

I heard heavy breathing from him. Then, he held the car door handle. Want to go inside. However, a cheerful call greeted him.

“Hei!! Are you porcupine hair uncle? Whoa!!! Hello uncle!!” Long An shouted so cheerfully as he waved his hand.

Ravindra stared at Long An. While Irene gasped to see Ravindra suddenly being there. Irene recalls, when Mistress Meri said that Ravindra was the one who wore Verbena flower perfume. The same perfume, worn by the man who once fucked her. Making Irene tremble and re-remember her past. Irene just stared at Ravindra. And vice versa. No one knows the meaning of the two. Will fate make the bond between them intertwined? The stars and the moon will bear witness to a long journey of man seeking his destiny.
