Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 5

...Can't Run...

In the afternoon with a sky color. Sunlight warms every inch of the body. Bring warmth to the heart. The wind blows slowly. Wiggling the leaves as if dancing to the flow of time that continues to spin. A 10-year-old boy with black hair who stood like thorns. Sitting under a shady tree. The boy was none other than Long An the Karateka Genius of the East. He was in the park at his school.

Long An was drawing. His colored pencil scratches every inch of a picture book that is plain white. Provides beautiful colors. It was like the color of a charming world. He is seen smiling drawing a small child who is holding hands with a woman. Long An wrote his name with his mother's name.

“Hehe is finally done. I'll give this to mama.” Long An said so cheerfully. His face looks radiant.

His white skin looks bright in the afternoon sun. His round cheeks bakpao slightly look reddish. The hue of happiness emanated from the cute and adorable face. Then, he flipped the drawing paper. Raise his pencil and draw someone. While Long An was drawing, there was the sound of two people talking. A short time later, a man was passing by with his son. That man is the boy's father. The father held his son while joking.

“Papa came late to pick me up. Papa should be punished.” Said the boy with a sullen face.

“Ampun.. papa will not come late again. Well papa will accept his punishment and will buy this great papa's son ice cream.” The father said to his son.

“Waaah!!! Really did?!! Papa is the best.” Answer the boy with a glowing face. The two looked excited and walked past Long An who was sitting alone.

The scene between father and son did not escape Long An's sight. Suddenly his hand stopped drawing. The look in his eyes implied a deep sadness. His head bowed until it did not feel a clear circle coming out of his eyes. A little trickle in a picture he made.

While Long An was grieving, someone patted his shoulder. Long An who was indeed a reliable karateka immediately alert and grabbed the hand that patted his shoulder. Bend the person's hand and twist it quickly.

“A... a.. a... it hurts. What are you doing?!” Shouted someone who was in pain because his hand was twisted by Long An. The moaning sound of pain, came from a little girl who was the same age as Long An. The little girl was named Alice. Alice is Long An's classmate.

An, surprised to learn that the hand he was twisting was the hand of his classmate. In a hurry Long An let go of his friend's hand which he twisted. Alice could only stroke her hand slowly while grimacing in pain. Long An who felt guilty immediately apologized.

“Alice, forgive me.” Long An said solemnly.

“Ah, I must be careful if I want to approach you. Basic, An sucks.” Said Alice the little girl putting on a sullen look.

“I'm sorry. I was not accidentally.” Long An felt guilty.

“Alright, as your apology. You should teach me the fingers in karate.” Alice spoke while chuckling.

“Ah, cunning base.”

“Hihi..” Alice just chuckles.

Alice has blond hair like a westerner or in the country we call them Caucasians. Long An is best friends with Alice. They often practice karate together. Alice sat next to Long An.

“Hemm I envy you. You are great at karate. My father always praised you. That's really shitty. I envy you.” Said Alice putting on a pouting face.

“Actually who became my son what are you. My papa sucks.” Continue Alice.

Long An just laughed seeing his friend acting like that.

“I remember Master Li's teachings. In martial arts, we must have patience. Patience when facing opponents and patience when practicing. You don't have all that.” Ledek Long An on Alice.

“Aish... You are as annoying as my papa!” Alice said annoyed while folding her hands.

Long An laughed at the behavior of his friend. A second later, his face turned to sadness. His head fell back. Alice who was sitting next to Long An realized this.

Long An replied slowly.

“I envy you. Envy other children who have a father.” Long An's face looked sad.

Little Alice sighed deeply. He is also sad. Come to feel how Long An feels. Although Long An is a good karateka. He was just a little boy who missed a father.

“Gosh, I didn't expect. Karateka has never lost 100 games. It turned out to be very crybaby. I don't admire you. What's wrong with not having a papa. Not having one is not necessarily unpleasant. Just look at my papa, he's very fat and likes to snore. He even likes to pick up haha haha. Isn't that a bitch. You have a beautiful mother and love you very much. Is that not enough for you?” Ask Alice.

Heard Alice's words. Instantly little Long An choked. He realized something. Now she has the perfect mother. A mother who works hard and loves her very much. Can be both a mother and a father figure. When Long An woke up. A voice called out his name.

“An!!” Shouts that voice.

The voice came from a long-haired woman. He waved his hand and half ran towards where Long An was. He was wearing a blazer with jeans. His little bag was slung across his shoulder. Her beautiful face was so enchanting that it was struck by the light of the twilight sun. Even though he is now 30 years old. But it still looks like he is in his 20s. That woman is none other than Irene Maxzella.

Irene half ran over to Long An. His breath sounded breathless.

“An, sorry mom came late to pick you up.” Irene said with a breath that was still hunting.

Without saying much, Long An immediately hugged his mother tightly. Irene was surprised Long An suddenly hugged her like this.

“An, what's up?” Irene asked gently as she stroked her son's head.

“Mama. Thank you for being my mom.” Long An said sincerely in his mother's embrace.

Irene choked to hear Long An's sudden words. A second later he smiled. Gently caress the head of her child.

“Hemm, spoiled child base iyuhhh..” Said Alice sniffing Long An.

Long An who heard Alice's words immediately let go of his mother's embrace. Staring at Alice while sticking out her tongue.

“Just say you envy me.”

“Ahh, you are such a shitty little friend. I'm really jealous of you. You have a very beautiful and hardworking mother. Look at my mom, she dresses up all night. Spending thousands of make up still won't be as pretty as your mom.” Alice said with a laugh.

Irene and Long An immediately laughed at Alice's words. They laughed together at dusk that afternoon. A very warm twilight. But it still leaves thousands of questions.

Not felt, time passed quickly. The night has come in the embrace of the Dark One. However, a glimmer of moonlight was seen smiling behind the clouds. In the middle of the night. Now, Irene is putting Long An to sleep. Little Long An seemed to be sleeping soundly. Irene smiled looking at her adorable child while sleeping. Then, very slowly kissed his only son's forehead. Pray that his son will always live happily and not suffer as he did.

After kissing Long An's forehead. Irene fixed her son's blanket. Then hurriedly cleaned up Long An's school equipment. As he tidied up Long An's books. Irene unintentionally saw a picture. The image of a woman and a small child is seen holding hands and smiling happily. The picture says Mama and Long An are happy together. Irene smiled at the pictures of her son.

After that, he turned the next page. Irene was surprised to see the picture on the next page. The picture seems unfinished and deleted many times. His body is shaped like a man. But his face is still plain. The bottom is written papa???

View the unresolved Long An image. Making that 30-year-old woman, could only sigh deeply. His eyes looked far out. Look at the night sky that hides the Moon. Could it be that he will not be able to escape his past? Maybe time will bring him back to his country again.

Far in the sky there. The moon that hides behind the depths of the night. Slowly show his face. His light began to rip apart the Dark One. The destiny of a person can never be determined except God.
