Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 6

...An Offer...

In a California Hospital, State of America.

Irene was sitting in front of a middle-aged doctor. The doctor showed Long An's body scan. So was a thorough health check on Long An. The doctor is observing the results of the scan or the results of the examination. Irene waited for an explanation from the doctor. He waited with a feeling of anxious expectation. After waiting for a while. The Doctor's voice was heard.

“Madam, I have checked your son's examination results. (Mrs, I've checked your son's results).”

“Yes Doc's. How is my child's condition? (She Dok. How is my son?)”

The doctor smiled with a cheerful face.

“Mistress, it looks like the anxiety we've been worried about all this time won't happen. It's a real miracle. The spiritual and physical condition of your son is not found a problem. It's really incredible. Supposedly, a child born prematurely will experience imperfections. Either from his physical or his nerves. But different from your son.” The doctor said happy.

There was a sigh of relief from Irene. His heart was calm.

“Your child is very different from other children. Your child grows in contrast to other prematurely born children. Instead, he grew healthy and strong. I also checked his IQ. He really has a high IQ. Your child is a genius child. Especially the genius in the field related to his motor.” The doctor explained at length.

“I'm really relieved to hear it.” Irene said full of relief.

The worry he felt was gone.

“Your child is growing rapidly after training his physique with martial arts karate. It made his body become strong. I also see that your love for him is so great. Maybe it all blends together and makes your child as amazing as he is today. A mother's affection, forged physical exercise and God's miracle all come together. Make your child born premature. Make him a genius child. Stay with your son, because the strength of a child lies in the affection of his mother.” The doctor gave advice.

Irene was very happy. Nodding his head steadily.

“Of course Doc. I will always be with him.”

Not long after, Irene walked out of the hospital with light steps. His face no longer showed any anxiety. It was different when he went to the hospital. Now, he can breathe freely about Long An's condition. Irene is grateful for her life now. At least his favorite son did not feel misfortune like himself. The young woman who had a beautiful face was smiling while raising her head. Looking up at such a vast sky. The sun shines brightly. Showing his mighty prowess. The King of Surya looks brightly penetrated into Irene's heart. It warmed my heart and made Irene smile brightly.

Irene Maxzella stepped up so cheerfully. Walking in the middle of the dense city of California, the state of America. Hustle and bustle of many people passing by around Irene. The skyscrapers look towering like they are piercing through the clouds. It was as if Irene's happiness. An orphaned woman in her youth is wrought with grief and suffering.

While Irene was walking. Suddenly his phone rang. He paused for a moment. Then immediately took his cellphone which was in his tenteng bag. On the phone screen is a contact with the name…

Daren

Irene swiped the green button. Raising her phone call that kept roaring for connection. A second later, Dareen's voice sounded so loud.

Rene, where are you? Ask the man who secretly likes Irene.

“I just got out of the hospital. Checking health Long An.” Irene replied as she walked to a rather quiet place, because there were so many people around.

They make a frenetic sound that makes Irene not so clearly hear Dareen's voice. After getting away from the crowd. Only then could Irene hear Dareen's voice clearly.

“Sorry, it's very crowded here. I don't really hear your voice. Can you repeat?” Irene asked Dareen.

I just said, why not tell me. If you want to go to the hospital. I can drive you. Today, I have some free time. Dareen answered across the phone.

“It's okay. I don't want to trouble you.” Reply Irene.

Irene was an independent woman. All this time, he tried not to hang his life on others. If you can do it yourself, why not.

You never change. I'm amazed at you. The independent woman. Praise Dareen.

“Do not admire me. I'm just plain ordinary. Ehmm... What's calling me?” Ask Irene later.

Ahh about that, let's meet. There's something important I want to talk about. Dareen replied, There seems to be an urgent matter that he should tell Irene.

The young lady with the alluring smile frowned, full of question marks. There seems to be something urgent that Dareen wants to convey.

“I know, it's very sudden. Yesterday, a representative from a special school of athletes from Indonesia contacted me. He gave me a proposal of offer. The proposal contains the recruitment of talented children in the field of sports. The school wanted to recruit Long An to be part of their school.” Dareen began his talk.

Irene was still pensive looking at the proposal before her. In his mind there were all sorts of thoughts. Why among the schools must be from his own country who recruits Long An. Slowly Irene opened the proposal.

“You must know, Athletes School Aksara school or people call it AA School. AA School is under the auspices of Aksara Foundation owned by our former Karateka great athlete, Marvin Damariswara.” Dareen again.

“Who doesn't know the school. Schools that give birth to many talented athletes in our country.” Reply Irene.

“Ya, right. You must know that too. They wanted to recruit Long An to be a student at that school. Actually, they had been monitoring Long An's progress for a long time. So, maybe they're already sure now of the boy's ability.” Dareen said as she sipped her drink. Today in California the weather is quite hot.

Irene was silent for a moment. Again his mind was struggling with each other. While Irene's mind was raging. Dareen's voice was heard.

“Maybe it is true. Here Long An had already obtained a confession. But still. He is not a citizen of this country. Of course, he would have trouble competing officially carrying the name of the country. If Long An, really wanted to become a large-scale athlete. This, it'll be a good opportunity. Think about Long An's future. All decisions are in your hands. Whatever your decision, I will always support you.” Dareen said sincerely.

His hand slowly touched the hand of Irene who was on the table. However, Irene slowly shifted her hand. Dareen who saw that got a little clumsy. Same with Irene. Not long after, their conversation was over.

Now, Irene was walking towards her rental flat. He walked while thinking about everything. The sky that was once bright blue seemed to change. Golden yellow berwana sign of the King Surya back his complaint. Helaan demi helaan was heard from the 160 cm tall woman. Then, his memory drifted back to a time when he was 10 years old.

Flashbacks

After practicing archery. Irene walked with her father. Walk together at dusk on the west horizon. Irene walked cheerfully while carrying her bow.

“My daughter.. today dad is very happy once.”.

The father's face looks bright. Plus a yellowish twilight light hit the father's face.

“Hemm, why is dad so happy?” Little Irene asked curiously.

“There are two things that make dad very happy.” Answer the father with a radiant face.

“Hemm, tell me dad. What is it?” Little Irene asked increasingly curious.

Irene's father smiled warmly while looking at her little daughter.

“The first thing that makes a dad happy is having an amazing daughter like you, Nak.”

Hearing her father's words, Irene sparkled cheerfully. His face looks radiant.

“Then the second, what's father?” Ask Irene.

“Lantas second is today Marvin Damariswara. One of the country's proud karate athletes has won the International championship three times in a row. Isn't that amazing? I have a daughter who is no less extraordinary. Dad was also happy to be father's favorite athlete to be International champion. One day, I also want to see my daughter carrying the banner of the Indonesian flag. To be plugged into the world championship and to honor the name of our nation. I believe in you, son. You can definitely do it.” Irene's father replied with a warm smile.

Little Irene who heard the words of her father was so stifled. In Irene's heart, there was a burning determination. He will be the pride of his father as well as this country. Then they again walked with carefree steps towards the twilight horizon.

End Flashback

Irene breathed deeply. He could only smile bitterly. All that wishful thinking will only be left in the past and will never be the future. Unexpectedly, Irene faintly heard the sound of a small child in the park near her rental flat.

“Hyaa!! Hyah!! Hyaa!!” Shouted the little boy.

A little boy wearing karate was practicing karate. The horses are very strong. His punches and kicks were so powerful. The little boy was none other than Long An, Irene's favorite son.

Irene was stunned to see the persistence of Long An who continued to train. It was like seeing himself as a child. Irene could only say in her heart.

Dad, I may not be able to fulfill your wish. But he, the one I am proud of will definitely be able to realize your wishes. Irene's Narration.
