Chapter 27: Chapter 27
At the university, Rhino was sitting under the black pine tree waiting for Calista. For some reason, he didn't know why he was feeling so restless today. His mind was shaking for no reason restlessly. But he did not understand why. Slowly half an hour passed but there was no news of Calista coming.
Rhino thought to himself, "Isn't Calista finished her class yet? Why is she so late?"
Again he comforted himself by thinking that there might be some extra class. That's why she's late. She may come a little later.
An hour passed by. Calista was still not coming. This time Rhino's restlessness was increasing. Fear started to feel in his mind.
He again thought to himself, "Calista has not come today? As far as I know she has come. Maybe she is stuck in some work. She will come soon."
Thinking about these two hours passed.
"Did the girl really not come today? But why didn't she come? What happened to her? Is there any problem? Well, did she get sick?"
Rhino's restlessness started to increase while thinking about these things. It's like he's suffocating. Rhino unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt to relieve his restlessness. Then he got up and started walking around. He was not at peace at all. Rhino could not stay any longer and came out of there. He came out and stood near Edith and Harold. Harold and Edith were a little surprised to see Rhino.
Edith said with a furrowed brow, "Why are you looking so random? And where is Calista? I didn't see her walking away from here today."
Rhino responded in a worried tone, "Calista did not come here today."
Edith again asked, "Didn't she come to campus today?"
Rhino answered, "Don't know?"
Then Rhino looked at Harold and asked him, "Harold, you ask from Ezlyn that Calista has come to university or not."
Harold responded, saying, "Bro, Ezlyn did not come to the university today. His uncle is sick. So she went to see him."
Edith put his hand on Rhino's shoulder and said, "Maybe Ezlyn hadn't come that's why Calista didn't come either. Don't worry."
Harold said mischievously, "Yes brother don't stress. You will not die without getting a kiss one day. Ha ha ha."
Both Edith and Harold laughed.
Rhino scolded, "Shut up. You just always have fun. You don't take anything serious."
Saying this, Rhino went away from there.

Calista was cooking lunch with a feverish body and pain. Kyrie Ivelle said a lot of cruel words because she could not get up and work in the morning due to fever. So now Calista was working with a fever. However, Easton did not let her work. He told his mom that Calista was sick. But no one will listen to that little boy in this house.
Due to fever, Calista could not even go to university in the morning. Easton brought a painkiller. After eating it, the fever had reduced a little but not completely cured. Her body still had a lot of pain.

10 pm. Rhino was sitting on the couch looking at the baby rabbit and thinking about Calista. Today his whole day was spent in his restlessness. He couldn't concentrate on office work. He didn't feel good about anything. He kept thinking about Calista. He didn't do dinner properly today either. Rhino got up and went to his bedroom and lay down on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, Calista's face appeared again. Rhino was just rolling around in his bed. There was not even a drop of sleep in his eyes.
He was thinking, "If I could talk to Calista once, then maybe I would feel a little peace. Should I call her?"
Rhino felt extremely angry with himself.
He scolded himself, saying, "What a big idiot you are! It's been so long since I met Calista. But I still don't know her number. Why am I such a big duffer? Had I kept Calista's number, I wouldn't have died in so much tension." Rhino said this to himself.
The whole night passed like that. Rhino couldn't sleep at night.

Calista was ready for university. She wasn't feeling good the whole day. Her mind was absent. She wasn't comfortable at all at home. She didn't want to go to university because of her fever. But thinking that Ezlyn will be at university she decided to go to university instead. Then her mind will be a little fresher.
Calista still had a little fever in her body. And there was pain. Due to excessive rubbing, the skin on Calista's hand had become sore. For which it was very difficult for her to work. However, she got up in the morning and finished all the work. There was no way to skip household work. Calista changed her clothes with great difficulty and got ready for university.
---------------------------------
Calista was sitting on the bench under the Banyan tree. After taking a class, her body felt bad. She was upset not finding Ezlyn at university. So she came here after the class. Actually her mind became fresh after coming here. She had been sitting here for a long time. Now her head was getting heavy. It seemed that the fever was rising again. She also felt very weak due to not eating since yesterday.
Rhino was in his class the whole time. And he had some extra class today. Because of being late, he became very restless.
He murmured to himself while walking towards the place, " I'm afraid if Calista has come today or not."
As Rhino came near the bench he saw Calista there. Seeing Calista from behind, Rhino became very happy.
It means Calista has arrived.
In endless happiness he wanted to go and hug Calista immediately.
"No, that would be too much. I should control myself."
Rhino normalized himself and proceeded to Calista. Calista was sitting as she was lost in something while looking ahead. He went and sat next to Calista.
Rhino said quickly, "Why didn't you come yesterday?"
Hearing Rhino's words, Calista turned to his side and looked at Rhino. Rhino's chest twisted as he looked at her. A look of fear appeared on her face.
" What happened to the girl? Why does she look like that? Is the girl sick?"
Rhino got restless while thinking.
He asked Calista, "Hey, what happened to you? Why do you look like that? Are you sick?"
Calista was surprised to see Rhino's restlessness and looked at him. Calista was feeling dizzy due to the fever in her body.
Inside the dizziness, Calista looked at Rhino and thought, "Why is he so worried about me? Is he really worried about me? But why is he worrying about me? Who am I? Why would he care? No one cares for me. Even if I die, no one cares. But why is he so worried? Well, he is also a boy. Then he never looks at me like that rotten Johnny. There is always only admiration in his eyes. He never tries to touch me badly. Never say bad things to me. And he doesn't neglect me like everyone else."
Rhino's fear increased seeing Calista watching silently like this. Rhino now held Calista's hand and shook it lightly.
He asked, worriedly, "Why are you not talking?'
When Rhino held Calista's hand, Calista got pain in her hand and unknowingly screamed.
She screamed, without knowing in pain, "Ouch."
Rhino frowned and looked at Calista's hand. And when he looked at her hand, he stood up in shock.
He started feeling pain in his chest. He took Calista's hand in his and stared at it.
He thought to himself, "Ish! What a bad condition of her hand! Well, the question is how did this happen?"
Rhino's eyes were getting red. He couldn't stand it anymore. He closed his eyes. Taking a breath, he opened his eyes again,
He clenched his jaw and looked at Calista and asked her, "How did it happen? Who did it to you? Tell me everything."
Calista's eyes were getting dark. Her body was becoming paralyzed. She could no longer act like she was okay. Calista closed her eyes and fell on Rhino.
