Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 53

... Irene's Concern is Growing...

In the afternoon, the color of the sky changes its name to dusk. Irene looks pensive in a restaurant. He was so worried for a few days. Between returning the favor or choosing a choice his heart looks more moody. Irene was propping up her chin. See the frenetic sounds of vehicles outside. Dareen no longer gave her much time. For a moment, there was a heavy sigh from the beautiful woman.

Then, Irene's memories drifted through while spending time with Ravindra. The man named Ravindra, was somehow able to touch his heart. Rava is not like Dareen. Have a friendly and warm attitude towards everyone. But, how could Irene fall for that cold man. The man who most likely had enjoyed his lotus flowers. Irene was not in a state of mind with her feelings. He did not know, had to tell who his heart was troubled. As Irene slumped, it was Grandma Heera and Dareen who helped her escape the deepest snare of the abyss. Will he betray their kindness? Selfish with his feelings? Irene, not that kind of person. He knows how to return the favor.

Suddenly from behind, a man walked slowly. He walked while carrying something behind his back. Exactly, as it approached Irene. The man immediately pulled out something from behind his back.

“For you, Rene.” said the man who is none other than Dareen while thrusting red lily flowers.

Irene who was just hanging out with her mind. Suddenly he woke up and returned to the real world. He was surprised, Dareen was already in front of him while throwing a crisp laugh.

“Te.. te.. thanks.” said Irene stammered while receiving the red lily.

 “Did I surprise you?” asked Dareen who was sitting in front of Irene.

Irene smiled and shook her head.

“What food do you want to order?” ask Dareen.

“Anything doesn't matter.” replied Irene.

Dareen smiled and immediately called out to a male servant. Ordering some food and drinks for him and Irene. The male waiter understood and smiled kindly as he asked the two to wait for the food to be served.

“Have you been waiting a long time?” Dareen opened the conversation.

 “Ah... not too long.” Irene replied by throwing a slight smile.

 “I know, maybe I'm too urgent for you to accept my proposal immediately. I just don't want to lose you. Losing a woman I've been dreaming of for a long time. I hope you will accept my proposal. Me, you, Long An and grandma will definitely be happy if living together.” said Dareen full of sincerity.

Right in front of Irene's eyes. Dareen took out a red box. He opened it with a heart. She looked at Irene with a red face. From the look of his eyes was a radiance full of love for Irene.

“Rene, I have long sympathized with you. In women who are tough and can wade through all difficulties. The sympathy slowly turned into admiration. Your admiration for so many years has now turned into love. I secretly harbored these feelings for you, because I was a shy man. I don't know how to express my feelings. I had to ask Grandma for help proposing to you. I hope you won't feel uncomfortable with it all. Right now, I want to have a serious relationship with you. Are you willing to accept my love? Accept my application?” dareen asked with a serious face. His hand thrust the box containing the couple's ring in front of Irene.

The heart of this 30-year-old man is beating so fast. His face was serious but his lips trembled after saying his feelings. Dareen is not the type of man who is good at expressing his heart in the opposite sex. Irene who felt Dareen's sincerity really worried about making it. He could not resist Dareen's feelings. His heart was worried how. If he refuses, how is the world view of him. She was a poor woman who did not know how to repay those who had helped her.

Irene can't be selfish about her own feelings. Maybe this is the best. Let go of her heart and choose to return the favor. Let go of his own happiness. For the happiness of those who helped him.

Irene breathed deeply. Then looked at Dareen seriously. Maybe this is the right decision for him. Return to those who have given him kindness. Let go of the suffering bondage of life. After staring at Dareen then alternately he stared at the right ring in front of him.

 Maybe, this is the best. Best for lotus flowers. Make others happy and let go of the iceberg, Irene said in her heart.

Then, Irene took turns staring at Dareen. Dareen who was sitting across from Irene felt expectantly anxious about the answer to be given. He clenched his hands so grout.

“I... I will mene..ri...”.

“Mama! Mama!” yelled Long An who suddenly came calling his mother loudly.

 Immediately Irene was startled and looked towards Long An. His son ran towards him with a big laugh. Irene was confused as to why Long An could suddenly go to the restaurant and find out where he was. As Long An ran towards Irene. He accidentally nudged a woman who was also walking to eat at the restaurant. Until the bag someone was carrying fell. The stuff inside fell. Long An who saw that was shocked and felt bad, because of his carelessness. Long An hurriedly apologized while picking up the fallen item.

Irene and Dareen who saw this rushed over. Trying to help Long An pick up the falling items. Immediately apologized to the person concerned. Just as Irene raised her head. His eyes suddenly opened. His hands shook violently. While someone who was hit by Long An just now also looked at Irene.

Without Irene noticing, a teardrop suddenly came out without her orders. His eyes turned red and his entire body felt an uneasy feeling. The person in front of Irene also stared back at Irene intensely.

“Ka.. you... Could it be you?” ask someone while closing their mouth.

“A... are you... Rene? Irene?” ask someone back.

Irene just shook her head. His body staggered backwards. While Long An and Dareen were confused to see this. It was as if someone had known Irene and vice versa.

“Mama..” call Long An by plain.

Someone who was still staring at Irene intensely immediately looked towards Long An. He also stared at Long An intensely. His eyes look teary. Irene tried hard to hold back her trembling body.

“A... is it true. Ka... You're my Rene?” ask someone who is none other than a woman in her 45s. Irene looked inside.

Irene simply clasped Long An's hand tightly. Long An was still confused by the attitude of his mother and the woman standing before them. Dareen doesn't know what to do. Before Irene opened her mouth. Suddenly a voice came calling out to the woman standing before Irene.

“Mama.” call someone while approaching.

As Irene neared her eyes, she grew increasingly open to see who was coming. So is the person who is none other than Rosalind Birgita.

            Flashbacks

Irene was 12 years old. The misfortune in his life began. First of all his father who was so kind to him was called by the Power. Irene lost her father. Her real mother left her in an orphanage.

 “Bu... Mom.... Please don't leave me here. I'm afraid, let me come with you. I beg.” whine Irene to her mother.

Her little hand held her mother's hand tightly. However, his mother seemed indifferent and threw Irene's hand violently. Irene was so shocked and so sad to be treated that way by her mother.

“Bu... why?” Irene asked who was crying.

Irene's mother didn't care and immediately got into the car. Irene tried to stop her mother. However, his mother pushed him to make Irene fall into the rough asphalt. He made his hand hurt. Irene's mother seemed unconcerned and immediately told the driver to drive forward his car. Irene tried to get up and banged on the car door.

“Mother.. I beg you not to leave me. Ma'am... I beg.” Irene's plea squeezed between her sobs.

However, his mother did not budge at all. He told the taxi driver to keep driving away from Irene who was running after her mother.

“Mother!! Mama!! Mama!! Don't leave me. I beg mom! Mom!!” Irene shouted while crying loudly.

12-year-old Irene continues to chase the taxi her mother was riding. Until he fell on the rough asphalt. His feet and hands were injured. But his mother never looked back.

“Mother!! Mama!! Mom!!!” Irene shouted while sitting on the side of the road.

His knees and hands were bleeding. But what was more painful was the pain in him. The pain was removed by her own mother. Irene has lost her father. He was also abandoned by his mother. Making an even misfortune had already befallen the sinless girl. That day, Irene had lost both her parents. He could only cry alone. Crying without anyone caring.

End Flashback

Irene's tears were pouring down. Given how the pain over the years was constantly ingrained in his heart.

“Mama knows him?” rosalind asked astonished to see her mother staring at Irene so intensely.

Irene who had been looking for her mother for so many years was so shocked to suddenly meet her mother back. In fact, his mother became the mother of a woman who once made him lose a dream. Irene couldn't do it anymore. He immediately took Long An's hand and hurried to leave the place. The confused Dareen soon caught up with Irene. Rosalind's mother was trying to catch up. But hurriedly prevented by Rosalind.

“Mama, tell me what is this? do you know that woman named Irene?” rosalind asked who demanded an answer.

Rosalind's mother named Kania just closed her mouth while sobbing. His body shook violently. He could only sit in a chair. Not strong to support his body.
