Chapter 4 4

"You're going to follow me even here, Calista?" a raspy voice.

My eyes widened in disbelief. What? Caleb, how? Why? Is fate playing a cruel joke on me?

"Excuse me, Mr. Prosecutor, I have been donating here for a long time, I have been coming here for a long time, okay?" I said annoyed and tormented him

"Sister, Caliee, do you know brother Cael?"

"So you are Cael? if a child describes you to me, you sound like a smart guy!" I said annoyed to him and he frowned at it, how come the kids call him Cael.

"Sister, why are you fighting with brother Cael?" asked a child, shit I forgot there was a child in front of me, I was overcome with emotion.

"Ah, it's wrong, I'm not angry, and especially I don't fight, fate is really bad, bad!" He raised an eyebrow at me so I glared at him, what is he the only one here?

I was shocked when he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the rooftop, away from the children. Even the other sisters and the children were surprised by his actions.

"Hey, let me go, you're cursing" shit, is it true, did I really yell at him? Lord, feed me on the ground

"Leave, now."

"H-Huh? why are you the only one who can donate here?"

"Don't be so sarcastic, woman. Go away" It insisted

"The children might be scared of a person like you, a killer!" He shouted at me as he approached, causing me to take a step back.

"I'm not going to die, man! Who are you to judge me? How many times do I have to say it? A million times? Until you die?"

"Yes! 'cause we both know it's you! You're the killer, I don't know why rich people like you don't feel guilty, I know you planned it, because that's what it is, it's a habit"

"What do you want me to do? isn't it enough that I apologize, I know it was an accident, but I never planned it!" I shouted at him, but there was no reaction on his face, he slowly came closer to me

"W-What are you doing, get out of my face!" He didn't listen to me and just kept coming closer to me and he was the one who made me back away.

"M-ma...I'm going to fall! p-please" I said here 'cause I'm going to fall from the rooftop

"What does it feel like to be close to death?" he asked as he continued to approach me, still holding onto my arm.

"B-let me go please, Caleb"

he laughed, and came closer "I'm sure the fear you feel, my fiance also felt it when you killed him"

"Believe me, I had no brakes that day---"

I froze as I almost fell, with only his hand gripping onto me. He could have easily let go of my hand to seek revenge, but...

"Ahhhh, help! go--" I sobbed, still not letting go of my hand

He laughed "Now you're asking for help, I'm sure Krisella also cried when you ran over her"

"W-what do you want, all ibi--"

I could not continue to speak when he loosened his hand where I was clinging

Bring back Krisella's life, can you do that?" He said and raised an eyebrow at me.

"I am not a god!"

"CALEB!" We both turned around when a woman screamed, sister beth

"Let go of Calista, I know what you are feeling is painful, son, but you don't need to kill just because of your anger" when Sister Beth said, that's when she returned to me in the vice.

"I'm not done....yet" He turned his back on me.

I could hardly breathe because of the trembling I felt, sister beth took my hand and hugged me, I could feel her anger towards me.

"Hija, are you alright?" I nodded here, still unable to speak because of what happened.

"If you think it's your fault, I believe it's not, be strong okay?"

"Thank you, sister beth."

It supported me down to the rooftop, I was greeted by children, I saw Caleb in the distance where the anger was obvious on his face.

"Caleb is not bad, Hija. He loves Krisella very much, he and Krisella have known each other since they were kids, so I know it hurts for him to lose the person he loves, Crisella is the only one he has, both of his parents are included alive" he said while staring at me with a smile

"How did you find out about Caleb's life? I asked" At the same time he was holding my hair.

"I took care of Caleb since he was a child, since his parents died I took care of him and guided him, Caleb Hija grew up in the church, so I know that boy well..."

I looked at Caleb from afar, was it really my fault? because of me nam*tay the one he has? because I was drunk that day? what if i give up will he be quiet?

"I'm first, sister beth" I said goodbye while hugging the children.

"Be careful, Calista"

I nodded and smiled at him, even though I hadn't come out yet, I met Caleb immediately, he ignored me and continued walking.

I waited for a taxi to come by, but no one seemed to be passing by, I was bored so I read the children's messages to me

"Hello, sister Calista, we miss you so much, I hope you will always visit when you have free time, I love you" I almost became emotional with this message, the weight I felt disappeared.

"You look ugly when you cry," a mocking voice came from behind me.

"Huh?"

What kind of trip is this Caleb, everything is being messed with.

He was about to leave in front of me but I pulled his arm to make him stop walking, he looked at me with no emotion to see, maybe Caleb is the only person I can't read.

I blocked it, I don't even know why I blocked him, I just ended up in that situation.

"Leave me alone, woman" I couldn't help but be annoyed with her, so I glared at her.

"I want...to finish the tire" I said without hesitation.

"What do I have to do for you to forgive me?" I added, all my muscles full of determination

"As long as I live, I will never ever forgive you, stamp that on your brain" he said while pushing my forehead with his index finger.

"You..."

"Huh?" I stammered, struggling to understand his response

He laughed with a teasing face, "You..." He chuckled mockingly, his face twisted with teasing amusement

"because I want you to suffer, I want you to experience suffering over and over." He declared, his words dripping with malice and a desire to see me in pain

"No matter how much you torture me, you can't make me enter the bars and the law that only you know, maybe I'm slow and stupid, but you're worse, even more stupid!"

"SHUT UP" He yelled and held my arm tightly, Caleb slowly came closer to me, and if he only took a little step back, our lips would touch.

I gasped and slowly lost my breath when he slowly put his hand on my neck, he stuck me to the wall and tightened his stranglehold on me "P-please...it's okay" I said almost losing already breathed

"DIÉ, CALISTA! DIÉ" he shouted at me, he still didn't release his stranglehold on me, I tried to remove it but he was too strong.

Little by little, my tears flowed like rain, touching both of my cheeks, when I had built up the strength to get out of his stranglehold, I sat down while holding my reddened neck.

I bowed down sobbing outside the venue while he left in front of me, "Can the wrong be changed? can the mistake be corrected?" I whispered while sitting sobbing and leaning against the wall.

When I got home, Nix immediately greeted me with a beautiful smile on her lips.

"CALISTA!" Nix yelled at me.

"Why is there a problem?" I can feel the tension in his eyes.

"You won't go to jail, gags caliee. Everything proved to be an accident!" He screamed while hugging me, he kissed me on the forehead.

I couldn't stop my tears from falling

"It's okay, Caliee, I told you that you are innocent"

"W-how s--"

Don't understand that first, think about your future first, don't listen to what others tell you, isn't it your dream to become a doctor? fulfill that first, Caliee I will support you!" he shouted at me while holding my cheek.

"T-thank you, nix."

I checked all of my social media accounts, and there were both negative and positive comments at the same time.

This is a reality that I really can't avoid haters in the online world.

Many people sided with me, many people sided with Caleb, as if we were fighting for our own beliefs.

I sat on my couch, I was very happy, at the same time. I know Caleb won't stop me.
