Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Ezlyn asked Calista, "Wait a minute, are you talking about Rhino?"

Calista nodded her head and said, "Yes."

Ezlyn looked at Calista in surprise.

"The girl who used to panic just to hear about skipping school and going somewhere else and started to tremble with fear, is that Calista today wants to skip class and go somewhere else. Rhino really has become Calista's weakness. She wants to spend time with him in his sad situation. I'm happy for her." Ezlyn thought.

Ezlyn said with a mischievous smile, " Yes, if you want, you can definitely go to him. But madam, how do we go? We don't know the address. What will you do now?"

Calista thought for a while then suddenly said, "Well, there is a way."

Ezlyn looked inquisitively and said, "And what it is?"

Calista held Ezlyn's hand and said, "You come with me then I will show you."

Calista took Ezlyn's hand and brought her outside. Then she stopped near Rhino's car. Seeing them coming, Rhino's driver hurriedly got down from the car and bowed his head in front of Calista.

He politely uttered, "Ma'am, will you go home now? Let's get down to it."

Calista said, "We won't go home now. Do you know where your sir's orphanage is?"

The driver nodded his head and said, "Yes ma'am, I know."

"So can you take us there a bit? "

"Yes of course."

Calista looked at Ezlyn and said, "Let's go."

Calista smiled and sat in the car with Ezlyn. Ezlyn was confused all this time. It all was going over her head.

Ezlyn asked Calista while sitting in the car, "What is this, Calista? And who is this man? I do not understand anything."

Calista told Ezlyn everything. Ezlyn smiled mischievously after hearing everything.

"Wow! So many things have already happened. And I don't know anything."

Calista looked down and smiled shyly. The car stopped in front of the orphanage.

The driver said, "Ma'am, we are here."

Calista and Ezlyn got down from the car and stood there. Calista felt like her chest was throbbing.

"Well, I came here with courage, but now I'm afraid to go inside. What if he is angry seeing me here?"

Ezlyn looked at Calista and said, "Does anything happen? Why are you standing here? Let's go inside."

Calista looked at Ezlyn and said, "What if he is angry after seeing me here?"

Ezlyn assured her," Hey, why would he get angry? He will be happy."

"But I don't know why I'm feeling not going inside."

Ezlyn patted her cheeks and said, "Don't think so much and go inside, okay?"

Calista nodded and agreed. Then Ezlyn took Calista's hand and entered. Calista went inside and looked around.

The orphanage is very big. It was surrounded by beautiful trees. Children are playing in different places. Some elderly people are also sitting here and there. The place feels very good near Calista. Seeing to the other side, Calista and Ezlyn saw Harold and Edith were standing in one place and talking. Calista and Ezlyn walked towards them. Both Edith and Harold saw them and were a bit surprised to see them.

Harold looked at Ezlyn and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you would come here?"

Calista was a little uncomfortable. She was thinking about what to say now. She lowered her head and started looking around.

Ezlyn replied with a smile, "Actually, there was no plan before to come here. I suddenly wanted to come to meet you."

Then Ezlyn pointed to Calista with her eyes and explained the real thing. Harold also smiled when he understood the matter. Calista was just looking around for Rhino.

Edith understood the matter and said to Calista, "Rhino is on that side. You can go if you want."

Edith raised his hand and pointed to the back of the orphanage. Calista hesitated a little at first. She was thinking whether to go or not.

Ezlyn said, "Go and meet him. You are here for him. I'm here, don't worry."

Calista nodded her head and started walking in that direction as per Edith's direction.

Harold said to Edith in a worried tone as Calista left, "You sent Calista to Rhino! What if Rhino gets angry? You know he doesn't talk to anyone much on this day, even not with us."

Edith reassured Harold, "You don't have to worry about that. Let's see if Calista can make him normal today."

Harold also trusted Edith's words, so he did not say anything else. Calista walked to the site behind the orphanage. She saw Rhino from a distance. He was sitting in a white shirt with his hands on a bench and his head towards the sky with his eyes closed. Calista was a little scared to go to Rhino.

"What if he gets angry after seeing me here?"

Calista gathered a little courage in her mind and went to Rhino. She came to him and noticed him. Rhino was still sitting facing upwards with his eyes closed. Calista slowly sat next to Rhino and Rhino realized that someone was sitting next to him. Rhino was very upset.

Even though he wants to be alone on this day, who came to disturb him?

Rhino looked to the side with annoyance to see the person. Rhino jerked as he looked to the side. He looked at Calista in surprise. Calista was shocked to see Rhino.

"How bad his face is! How dry his hair is! Both of his eyes are red. He must have cried a lot."

After a while, Rhino turned his head away from Calista and looked ahead.

He said in a serious voice without looking at Calista, "What are you doing here? You are not supposed to come here."

Calista Was afraid but showed courage and said, "What am I doing? I have come to do what I do every day. I have come to suffer my punishment. See I never mince words. I promised you that I will give you one kiss every day. So today, when you did not come to the university, I came to keep my promise. Otherwise you may say again tomorrow that I did not keep my word. Maybe you can give a new punishment. So I don't want to take any risk."

Calista stopped saying the words. She herself did not know what she had said so far. Calista only said these things to make Rhino normal. Rhino was very surprised by Calista's words.

" I have never seen Calista talk so much before."

Rhino was well aware that she said these things to divert his mind.

Rhino said in a serious voice without looking at Calista again, "You shouldn't have come here anyway. I'm not in a good mood today. I can tell you something upside down. Then you will feel bad. So please leave. And who told you about this place?"

By Rhino's words Calista got very scared. But she didn't get up from there. She just sat there.

Rhino said again, "Look, I don't like anyone to show me sympathy at all. Because no matter what, you don't understand my pain. In fact no one understands. Only those who suffered understand their pain. So I find these unnecessary sympathies very disturbing."

Calista said again with some courage, "Did I show you sympathy? You have at least seen your mother and spoken to her, played with her. You remember her face. You remember her body odor. You remember hundreds of good and bad memories associated with her."

Saying that Calista looked at Rhino. She was gathering courage to continue her words.
