Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Rhino ordered Calista, "I tell you to close your eyes. I don't understand why I have to tell you things twice! Just close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

Calista was shocked to hear him.

She was surprised and said, making her eyes wider, "Sur, surprise?"

Rhino also copied her making his eyes wider and uttered, "Yes, surprise. Now close your eyes without talking much."

As Rhino said, Calista closed her eyes. Rhino checked Calista if she was cheating or not.

Making sure that Calista closed her eyes, Rhino took out something from under the bench and said, "Now open your eyes."

Calista opened her eyes and was surprised to look ahead. Her eyes and face became shiny with happiness. She held her lips with her two hands and smiled. Calista was very happy to see the baby rabbit in Rhino's hands. Rhino also liked seeing Calista happy.

Rhino uttered, "What happened? You became happy just to see it? Don't you want to take it to your lap?"

Calista nodded happily. Then she took the chick from inside the basket.

She patted the chick and said, "It has become more beautiful than before. How smooth and soft it has become!"

Then she looked at Rhino and said, "You keep it very well. You are really so so so good."

Rhino was impressed to see Calista's happiness.

Rhino said with a smile, "I was a little good yesterday. Is my goodness rising today?"

Calista also laughed and said, "Yeah, the better you do the more it will increase."

Rhino bit his lip and smiled. Calista started kissing the chick whenever she caressed it.

Rhino's eyes widened and he said hurriedly, "What are you doing? Why are you kissing it?"

Seeing this reaction of Rhino, Calista was shocked.

Calista said, startled, "Why? What happened? What's wrong with kissing it?"

Rhino calmly said, "Of course, there are problems. You will only kiss me and no one else."

Calista said without understanding, "Sorry?"

By this time Rhino realized what he had said. He tried to change the word.

He said, "I mean if you kiss this chick, its hair will make you sick. So no need to kiss it."

Calista nodded and agreed. Rhino breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly Calista said, "Well, how long are we going to call the chick as chick? A chick should have a name, right?"

Rhino said with a smile, "Hm, you are right, a name should be given to it. Can you tell me what to name it?"

Calista thought for a long time and suddenly said happily, "Hm, I got it. Since it is as white as milk, it's name is Milky from now on. Isn't the name good?"

Rhino said with a smile, "Okay, very good. You have so much brain, it must be good."

Calista also laughed. After sitting there for a while and after kissing Rhino both of them left. Then Rhino drove Calista to her house. Calista played with the chick all the way in the car. And Rhino just watched her in fascination. Then Rhino dropped Calista and went to the office.

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

Suddenly, it started raining heavily outside. And with the rain, the sound of lightning started. Calista woke up with a jolt of thunder. Her hands and feet started shaking in fear. Calista entered her room and laid down, holding both ears with her hands and started reciting prayers. Suddenly the electricity also went out. Calista became more afraid. Her eyes were closed and she trembled. Suddenly tears came from her eyes in fear.

—---------------

Rhino just fell asleep. His sleep was lightened by the sound of rain.

He looked out of the window and thought, "Where did the rain come again in this unseasonal season?"

As Rhino closed his eyes to sleep again, he sat up with his eyes wide open. He remembered what Calista wrote in her diary.

Calista wrote in her diary that she was very afraid of the sound of rain and lightning.

Rhino thought, "So maybe Calista is afraid now. I don't know how she is doing now."

Rhino began to worry a lot about Calista. Rhino hurriedly searched for his phone. He found Calista's phone number and called her.

Calista was in poor condition because of her fear. Suddenly her cell phone rang. Calista was already scared and then she got even more scared by the phone's ringtone.

And the story becomes more and more complicated.

Rhino's tension increased as Calista did not answer the phone. Rhino stood up and started walking around the room. He pulled his hair with one hand and started calling Calista with the other hand. After ringing the phone two or three times like this, Calista courageously picked up the phone with trembling hands.

Calista saw an unknown number. She received it and listened.

Rhino spoke anxiously as Calista answered the phone, "Hello Calista? Are you there? Calista, are you okay? Calista, answer me."

Calista said somehow in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Whom do you want?"

Rhino felt relieved after hearing Calista's voice.

He said, "Calista, I am Rhino. Can you hear me?"

Calista said in surprise, "Are you really Rhino?"

"Yes, I am Rhino. Calista, are you ok? Are you afraid?"

Calista said in a voice mixed with fear and tears, "Hm, I'm okay."

Rhino's heart twisted when he heard Calista's voice like that.

"Ishsh how scared the girl is! I hope she is okay."

Rhino wanted to run now and hugged Calista in his chest now and removed all fears. Rhino sat on the bed and closed his eyes, clenched his fists and straightened himself a little.

Then he said to Calista, "Calista, don't be afraid. I am with you. So, talk to me. You don't have to worry anymore."

Calista was unable to speak because of her fear. She was just breathing heavily. She did not speak and Rhino became more worried. By the sound of Calista's breath, Rhino realized that Calista was hyped with her fear.

Rhino thought, "Calista needs to be calmed down. Otherwise she may faint."

Rhino thought of something and said to Calista, "Calista, I want to sing now. Will you listen to my song?"

Rhino's words eased Calista's fear a little. She likes it when Rhino sings. So she does not want to miss this opportunity even at this moment.

Calista said slowly, "Hm, I want to."

Rhino smiled and started singing a soft song. Listening to Rhino's song, Calista calmed down. All her fear was gone. She started listening to the song with fascination. Calista fell asleep while listening to Rhino.

After singing, Rhino called Calista. But he did not get her response. He again called Calista slowly.

Rhino murmured, "Calista, are you there?"

Rhino didn't get any response this time either but he heard Calista's breathing. He realized that Calista was asleep by the sound of Calista's heavy breathing. Rhino breathed a sigh of relief. Then he slept by himself. He fell asleep listening to Calista's breathing again.
