Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 8

...The meeting...

Aksara Atlet School is a special school of highly prestigious talented athletes. Giving birth to several high-achieving athletes both National and International level. Aksara Atlet School or better known as AA School is under the auspices of Aksara foundation owned by Marvin Damariswara. Marvin Damariswara is a retired athlete who is also a businessman. He owns several very successful companies. One of his most famous companies is called Aksara Enterprise. Very rich people in Indonesia.

Now, Irene and Long An look right standing at the entrance gate of AA School. From the outside, the school looks great. It has a distinctive symbol of the Phoenix fire bird symbolizing high fighting spirit. Like an athlete who will compete in a match. Irene stared straight at AA School. From the radiance of his eyes was implied something that could not be interpreted. Long An who was standing beside his mother looked at his mother in surprise.

“Ma, what's wrong? Looks like mom is thinking something?” Long An asked innocently.

Long An's voice resuscitated Irene from her daydream. He immediately turned his head towards his son while throwing a warm smile.

“Formerly mom, never applied for a job at this school. However, due to the fate of the less fortunate mother. Mama can't get a job here.” Irene tries to cover up the grief over past events that failed to land a job at AA School. He also attended AA School.

“Mama, I promise. Will make you happy. So, do not be sad even though it is not accepted to work here at that time.” Long An said with an adorable smile.

Irene smiled and gently stroked her son's head. He was truly grateful to God. That he was blessed with a healthy and kind child.

“Mama is proud of you An.”

Long An smiled widely and showed a row of his tiny teeth. Then he stared at the gates of AA School with a burning spirit.

“An promised, will replace every dream of mama who has not materialized with my glorious achievements. I will win all the titles and present them to mama.” Long An said loudly.

Hearing Long An's words. Irene was re-deterred. His son has changed his poor life to be replaced with happiness. Make dark to light.

“Come!! We're in mama!” Shouted Long An excitedly.

Irene just shook her head looking at her son's excited behavior. Then the two stepped into the main gate of AA School. Without both of them realizing the wheel of life returned to spin properly. The bonds of destiny will make their footsteps to where they should be.

On the front page of AA school many children are practicing. Both the ones who were Long An's age and the ones who were teenagers. Everyone seemed excited to practice. The facilities at AA School are completely complete. Starting from the football field, basketball, everything is there. Irene who saw all of it was amazed. It is not wrong if AA School gives birth to talented athletes. Long An who walked beside his mother also felt enthusiastic about this school. When Long An was looking around him his eyes were fixed on two girls his age. Two girls are practicing karate.

Long An smiled towards them and waved his hand. But the two girls stuck out their tongues. Like it was Long An. Long An became pouted and continued walking leaving behind the two girls whose hair was braided earlier.

When entering the main building. Irene and Long An were greeted by one of the AA School's assistants. A fat middle-aged woman named Mistress Meri.

“Welcome to AA School.” Welcome Mrs Meri kindly.

Irene also smiled back in a friendly manner.

“Good morning.” Sapa Long An while shaking and kissing the hand of Mistress Meri. A sign of respect for the older.

“Wah, how polite this kid is. Must have been well educated. Children today rarely even shake an older hand. I just met something like this. I really did not expect the child who got the nickname Karateka Genius from the East to keep the courtesy on the older.” Mrs Meri said she looked cheerful.

“You must have educated him well.” Praise Madame Meri to Irene.

Irene just blushed in embarrassment. While Long An put on an adorable smile.

“You are really beautiful.” Praise Long An to Mistress Meri.

“Wah, thanks. No one told me that. Even my two children never said that.” Mrs Meri is looking happy. It seems like she likes little Long An.

Irene and Long An smiled together. The three finally laughed happily. Then Madam Meri let Irene and Long An go inside. Then the three walked together to a hall located in the middle of the school's main building. There Mr. Marvin Damariswara is waiting.

After walking for a while. Irene and Long An arrived at a fairly spacious hall. There stood a man wearing a formal suit and holding a cane. Standing up to see the children who were Long An's age were practicing karate. The man was none other than Marvin Damarishvara.

“Mr Marvin, our guests have arrived.” Madam Meri said politely while bowing her body.

“Halo, good morning Sir.” Sapa Long An politely. Then shook Mr. Marvin's hand and kissed him.

Mr. Marvin gasped at Long An's polite demeanor of appreciating the older man. Mr. Marvin smiled and quietly praised the manners displayed by Long An.

“So, you are the Karateka Genius of the East? Right no?” Ask Mr. Marvin kindly.

“My name is Long An. That's the right one. Greetings to know Mr.” Long An replied politely.

“Ha Ha Ha .. You are a different child. Good, keep your humble attitude Nak.” Praise Mr. Marvin.

“You must have educated him well.” Said Mr. Marvin greeting Irene.

“Thanks.” Reply Irene.

“Good. We're just gonna go straight. For a long time, our school has been watching your son. Your son is a genius in karate. I played every match he did. His movements were not only agile and powerful. However, his observation and intelligence when facing an opponent amazed me. A kid his age can be this good. Thank you for accepting our offer to join this school. This school will make your child a legendary karate athlete.” Said Mr. Marvin with an optimistic smile.

Irene bowed her body and thanked me.

“Thank you for giving my son a chance.” Irene said with a smile of happiness. His son will achieve success that he would never have imagined.

Not long after, Mr. Marvin called one of his disciples.

“Alex, come here.” Call Mr. Marvin.

Then, a child of Long An's age immediately came.

Alex is one of the mainstay students at AA School. He is also talented in the martial art of karate.

“Show your skills.” Mr. Marvin's orders.

“Osh!!” Shouted Alex loudly.

Then he put up the horses and showed every word or style in karate. His movements are powerful. The move of the manager was almost near perfect. Long An observed Alex who was showing the word. Alex does look good in every move. After Alex finished demonstrating his manager. Now, Mr. Marvin asked Long An to demonstrate the word.

Long An immediately put on a serious face. Then salute Mr. Marvin. He looked at his mother for a moment. His mother smiled and gave him some encouragement.

“Osh!!” Shouted Long An loudly.

“One word!!!” Long An shouted back.

Then the moves by the moves he demonstrated. Starting from word 1 to the last word he performed very well. His movements are so agile and powerful. Every kick punch does not only have power. However, an art that blends with martial movements. Mr. Marvin took it seriously. In his heart acknowledged Long An's talent that was different from the other children. It is different with Alex. He looked at Long An with envy. He did not like Long An.

After a while, the meeting was over. Now, Irene and Long An were walking in the hallway of the school feeling happy. Until Irene realized, that day her feet would step toward a predetermined destiny. As Irene and Long An stepped up. From the opposite direction a man wearing a black formal suit walked past Irene. Just as the man was walking across Irene. Suddenly Irene paused for a moment, she gasped.

I.. It. this perfume smell. The smell of dragon tattooed man perfume. Could she??? Irene's Narration.

As the man flashed near Irene. Irene just kept quiet. The feeling is so turbulent. He's trying to control himself. The man who passed by her just now was likely …..
