Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Another week has passed in a blink of an eye. In these few days, Calista has noticed one thing well. Many changes have come in her life in these few days. Her life has become somewhat happy. Well, it's not completely happy but more than before. For all these, a lot of credit goes to Rhino.

Calista thought, "He takes me to the university from home every day and drops me off at the end of university. And according to his conditions, I have to eat with him every day. The time I spent with him under the Banyan goes so quickly. These times are sweet now. He talks with me on the phone every night."

In these few days, Calista has realized that Rhino likes her. And Calista has also become weak towards Rhino. There is no problem at her home now. The woman Rhino sent to her is very good but she still doesn't know that Rhino sent her.

"The woman spends time with me at home. She always helps me in all my work. So I don't get too tired now. Mom, however, wanted to mess with her many times but now auntie also says bitter things to mom. At first auntie used to hear all the bitter words that mom said to her. But auntie is strong. She doesn't hear those words anymore and doesn't even give attention to mom. Now mom does not say anything to her."

Thinking about all this, Calista was walking along the road, where Rhino waited with his car. Coming to Rhino's car, Calista frowned as she looked ahead. Because another person was sitting in Rhino's place in the car. Calista was a little surprised. She looked carefully and saw that the car belonged to Rhino.

Calista wondered, "This is Rhino's car but who is this man? And what is he doing in Rhino's car?"

In the midst of Calista's thoughts, the man suddenly got down from the car and stood in front of her. Calista was a little nervous and took two steps back.

The man bowed his head and said in a humble voice, "Good morning ma'am. Sir asked me to drive you to the university. Please sit in the car."

Calista raised her eyebrows and said nervously, "Which sir? Whom are you talking about?"

The man said the same thing again, "Ma'am, Rhino sir ordered me to drive you to the university."

Calista said, a little surprised, "Why? Won't he come today?"

The man answered, "No, sir will not come today. So he sent me to you."

Calista worriedly asked, "Why? What happened? Why has he not come today?"

"I don't know that, ma'am. I am sir's driver. I was only told to take you. Please ma'am get in the car."

Saying this the driver opened the back door of the car. Calista was a little upset. It has become a habit of her to go with Rhino every day.

Now how to go with a stranger! She was feeling strange.

In the midst of Calista's thoughts, a message suddenly arrived on her phone. Calista took out her phone and saw it was Rhino's message.

It said, "I can't come today so I sent the driver. Go with him. Listen, don't go home alone. He will drop you again after university."

Calista let out a sigh. Then she sat in the back seat of the car. The driver sat in front and started the car.

Calista was sitting and thinking, "What happened today? Why didn't he come? Is he sick?"

Calista felt restless thinking about this. After a while the car stopped in front of the university. Calista got down and went inside the campus. She went inside and saw that Ezlyn was sitting under a tree. So Calista approached her. She went to Ezlyn's side and sat quietly.

Ezlyn frowned looking at Calista and asked, "What? What happened? Why did you make such a monkey face?"

Calista shook her head and said, "Nothing happened."

Ezlyn sat facing Calista and asked again, "What's wrong? I can see you are upset. But you still say nothing! Look, my mood is already off. Then again, if you do the same, I will feel bad."

Calista looked at Ezlyn and frowned, "Why? What happened to you again? Why are you upset?"

Ezlyn pursed her lips and said in a sarcastic tone, "Because Harold has not come today."

Calista was surprised and exclaimed, "They also didn't come today!"

"Hm, none of them came today." Ezlyn said with a mischievous smile.

Ezlyn paused and realized something and uttered mischievously, "One minute, one minute. That means you are upset because of this. Because today Rhino did not come to the university, hm? Feeling something, something,huh?"

Calista was stunned by Ezlyn's words.

She said with a sigh, "It's nothing like that."

"Hm, hm, I understand everything. Someone is missing someone a lot."

Calista turned red with shame.

Calista falsely showed anger and said angrily, "Girl, stop it. Don't start all this."

Saying that, Calista smiled.

They paused and Calista asked Ezlyn, a bit curiously, "Well, do you know why they all did not come today?"

Ezlyn looked at her and responded, "Yeah, I know. Harold told me.'

" What did he say?"

Ezlyn said, getting a bit serious, "You know, today is Rhino's mother's death anniversary."

After hearing this, Calista's heart felt heavy.

Calista asked in surprise, "Doesn't he have a mother?"

Ezlyn said a little surprised, "What? Don't you know? Rhino's mother died when he was young. His mother died when he was twelve years old. Today, they all go to the nursing home and orphanage named after Rhino's mother."

Hearing Ezlyn's words, Calista started to feel bad.

"That means he doesn't have a mother like me." Calista said in a slight but in a sympathetic tone.

"You know, Harold told me that today, Rhino does not talk to anyone. He sits completely alone. I heard that Rhino was the closest to his mother. So he could not accept the sudden departure of his mother. So he went into depression."

Hearing this, Calista's bad feeling increased even more. Some kind of pain started in her chest.

"It is not understandable to see that there is so much pain in such a strong person like him!" Calista wondered.

Ezlyn again said with a sigh, "Well, it's time. Class will begin. Let's go to class."

Calista did not listen to Ezlyn as she was distracted.

Getting no response from Calista, Ezlyn furrowed her brow and lightly shook Calista's shoulder and uttered, "What? Where did you get lost? Don't you want to go to class?"

Calista regained her consciousness and looked at Ezlyn and said, "What? Yeah, class! Yes, let's go."

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

Calista was sitting in the class. Professor was giving his lecture but Calista's mind was not concentrating on anything in the class. She felt restless. She repeatedly remembered only Rhino.

She was just thinking, "How is he doing? Is he okay? Did he eat?"

These questions were going inside her head.

Calista could not stay any longer and as soon as the professor left, she said to Ezlyn, "Don't you listen to what I'm saying?"

Ezlyn furrowed her brows and asked confusedly, "What do you mean? Say exactly what you say."

Calista said more like she was asking a question by knitting her eyebrows, "What do I mean, let's go there for a while."

Ezlyn raised an eyebrow and asked, "There? Where is there?"

"I mean, to him."

Ezlyn was still confused.

She asked, "To him?"

Ezlyn understood what Calista was saying.

"Wait a minute, are you talking about Rhino?"

Calista nodded her head and said, "Yes."
