Chapter 16: Chapter 16

7.30 at night

Calista came to her room after finishing cooking for dinner. Suddenly the house bell rang. Calista was about to leave her room to open the door but someone else opened the door. As soon as Calista came to the door of her room, she stopped on her feet, hearing her father's voice. That means her father had come from his business trip. She couldn't go down now. Calista stood behind the door. She opened the door a little and put her head out slightly and saw her father.

After how many days she saw her father!

"Everyone's smiling happily and dad is talking happily to everyone. But if I go there everyone's smile will fade away as if I had cut everyone's throat. I'm a person that they cannot swallow or throw away."

Thinking of this, a drop of water fell from the corner of Calista's eye. Calista couldn't stand anymore. She quickly entered the room. She took out the picture of her mother from under the pillow and sat on the bed.

Calista looked at her mother's photo and said, "Why did you leave me alone, mother? Why didn't you take me with you? I have no one in this cruel world. No one loves me. You know, mom? Even if you don't talk to me, I don't feel so bad as I feel bad as the father's neglect. He gets angry when he sees me. That's why I don't go in front of my father as long as he stays at home."

Calista started crying silently with her mother's photo on her chest. She fell asleep crying like that.

Rhino came from the office a little late today. He parked the car and stood in front of the elevator. The girls around Rhino were smiling at Rhino. Rhino was extremely upset with them. He did not understand that every time he comes in front of the elevator, where do these girls come from? When the lift opened, Rhino entered. Immediately the girls also entered. Rhino was upright in the middle. And the girls stood around Rhino and watched him. A little later when the elevator opened. Rhino went straight out without looking in any direction. As soon as Rhino left, the girls put their heads on each other's necks and started moaning in sadness.

"Alas! How can a man be so good looking!" One of the girls exclaimed.

Rhino came to his apartment and opened the lock and went inside. He had a dinner meeting today so he ate out. Rhino freshened up and lay on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, Calista's face appeared again. But today he didn't feel restless anymore but for some reason he was feeling some peace. A strong love was working in his mind. Rhino closed his eyes and remembered the moment spent with Calista and smiled. After seeing Calista's face, he fell asleep.

---------------------------------

Calista woke up early in the morning and finished all the work. So that she did not have to appear in front of her father. So she finished all the work before dawn and went to her room. She didn't come out of her room anymore. When it was time for university, Calista got ready and waited. After seeing that there was no one in the living room, Calista slowly left.

Going out on the street, Calista felt both relief and bad.

"What a life! I have to run away from my own house like a thief. But it's good that dad didn't see me."

Saying that she cried a bit.

Calista thought that she would mistakenly appear in front of her father if she stayed in the living room, so last night she fell asleep without eating. She thought the same thing in the morning. So, she didn't have her breakfast and left for the university.

After reaching the university, Calista saw Ezlyn sitting under a tree near the field. Calista went ahead and sat next to Ezlyn.

Seeing Calista, Ezlyn said in an angry voice, "Why did you run away like that yesterday? You didn't hear how many times I called you? Do you know how worried I was? I went home and called you many times. But you didn't receive it for once."

Ezlyn stopped saying the words in one breath.

Calista said with a sigh, "Sorry the phone was out of charge. I didn't notice."

Ezlyn said worried, "What happened to you? Why does your face look so dry? Didn't you eat and drink? And your eyes are swollen and red. Did you cry again?"

Calista looked at Ezlyn.

" How does this girl understand everything about me? She is the only one who cares for me in this world."

Ezlyn said again, "What? I've asked you something. Answer me. What happened? Did that woman do something with you again?"

Calista responded with a faint smile, "No no. No one said anything. You are worried for nothing. The fact is, I did not sleep well at night. So maybe because of that my eyes look like that."

"Oh, I see. Now, tell me. What happened yesterday? And why did you kiss Rhino again yesterday?"

Calista told Ezlyn openly everything.

After hearing everything, Ezlyn uttered excitedly, "What! Are you telling the truth? I can't believe it. I mean, the one all the girls are crazy about only one Rhino Wyatt, he asking for a kiss from a girl? Do you understand what it means?"

Calista shook her head confusedly. She didn't understand anything.

Ezlyn frowned and uttered, "Hey stupid, I mean to say Rhino has liked you."

Calista was shocked and looked at Ezlyn with wide eyes.

Calista then said, "What are you talking about? Are you crazy? Nothing like that. Where is he and where am I? Why would people like him like a little girl like me? He said that only to punish and nothing else."

Ezlyn smiled at Calista's innocence and uttered, "No matter what you say. V swear, I am sure that Rhino likes you."

Calista said with a faint and sad smile, "The one who is not liked by her own family, what will others like of her?"

Hearing Calista, Ezlyn said in a soft tone, "Why do you always think yourself so small? You are not inferior to anyone in any way. And didn't I tell you before, that one day someone will come into your life? He will take you out of this hell. Maybe that day is not far away."

Saying this, Ezlyn asked Calista to look forward with a gesture of her eyes. Calista looked ahead at Ezlyn's gesture and saw that Rhino had just entered through the gate. He was moving forward while talking on the phone. Calista noticed Rhino for the first time.

The boy looks incredibly beautiful. Just like Greek gods. He is so pale. He was wearing black t-shirt and blue jeans. Black sunglasses in the eyes, silky hair was worn from the forehead to the ears. He looks like a Hollywood hero.

Every time Calista was in front of Rhino she could never look at him closely in fear. Looking at him from far away, he looks good. Calista noticed that not only her but all the girls in the university were staring at Rhino.

Calista thought, "This Ezlyn is also crazy. She is idly thinking about what or not. Such a princely boy for whom all the girls are drooling, why would he like me?"

Suddenly Ezlyn's words brought Calista out of his thoughts.

"Where are you staring? Why are you lost?" Ezlyn said with a mischievous smile.

Calista said with a sigh, "It's nothing like that. I'm just looking around."

Rhino put down the phone and looked to the side and saw Ezlyn and Calista at a distance. Rhino started walking towards them. Suddenly he saw that Ezlyn was giving a small packet towards Calista. Seeing the packet, Calista's face looked like a happy surprise. Rhino frowned and stood in front of them. Calista and Ezlyn did not notice that Rhino was coming to them.
