Capítulo 19: BENVOLIO'S SISTER

The woman finally decided to get up from her seat and look for food shops around the airport.

After walking around for a while, she decided to eat at a fast-food restaurant with various chicken menus.

"Oh my God! This chicken is so delicious! Finally, my stomach can fill again with food!" said Callista feeling grateful as she returned to eating the chicken pieces and enjoying the food she ordered.

When she was busy devouring chicken pieces and enjoying the food, a man appeared in front of him with an expression like he wanted to eat it, like Callista was consuming her current chicken pieces.

Callista looked away from her food and looked at the man. She swallowed her saliva when she saw who it was and dropped the chicken.

"Ben—Benvolio? What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you want to devour me?!" Callista said, frightened with Benvolio already in front of her.

Even though a few minutes ago, the daughter of the Constanzo family was still able to swear at her brother and wanted to take revenge on him. But, now, when she was confronted with Benvolio, she was frightened. How ironic isn't it?

That's how most people on this earth. They often get behind their back and swear at people they don't like. However, if they are faced with a person they don't like, they are even afraid, pretend to be good, and don't even dare to say their frustration—typical human hypocrite.

"Why wander around? I told you to wait at that place!" said Benvolio in his very flat tone.

"Oh, I just—"

Benvolio cut off Callista words fastly. "Just what? Why don't you text me about your new location?" Benvolio again cornered Callista with his question.

"Ish! I've been waiting for you at that place for more than half an hour, and you haven't shown up yet, damn it! I'm in this fast-food restaurant because I'm starving! Ask to yourself, how can a hungry person not run around looking for food!" Callista replied emotionally and annoyed at Benvolio's question.

Benvolio nodded his head and chuckled at Callista's answer, "You know what you look like now?" he said, starting to tease his adopted sister.

"What's wrong with my appearance? Is my make-up fading?" said Callista panicked, and immediately reached into her bag to find a mirror.

"Looks like a kitten looking for food and freaks out when it encounters a predator," Benvolio said things that made Callista even more annoyed and emotional with him.

Callista stopped reaching for her bag and immediately turned to Benvolio, who was now sitting in front of her.

"You're looking to die, Ben?!" She said while pointing at Benvolio's face and then showing her fist, ready to teach Benvolio a lesson.

"Hurry up and finish your food. I don't have much time to wait," said Benvolio ignoring Callista.

"Tch, you make people wait a long time, but you don't want to wait back. You damn thing!" Callista devoured the remaining pieces of chicken in a hurry because of Benvolio's presence.

The girl cannot eat her food as delicious and comfortable as before Benvolio's presence at the fast-food restaurant.

Biserka Apartments, Shanghai.

"She's my sister." Biserka fell silent after saying those words to Pavlo.

Pavlo was slightly surprised by Biserka's statement. He tried to digest and understand the words that came out of Biserka's mouth. How does her partner turn out to be her sister, and she hides this fact about her sister's identity from Mataya, who is her twin sister?

"You mean, your partner Verasha is your sister? That means she's also Mataya's sister, right?" Pavlo tries to ask Biserka again to get answers and truth from her.

Biserka nodded assent to Pavlo's question as to her 'yes' answer and confirmed the truth.

When Pavlo showed signs of wanting to ask Biserka again, Biserka immediately stopped him and started talking to him again.

"Since childhood, my Mama and Papa never took care of Mataya and me. They left us in Indonesia with our grandmothers and grandfathers who lived in Indonesia. We grew up on a culture and diverse island, not in our homeland in Morocco. "

"Mama and Papa never visited us until now. They just texted and said in the message that they sent us gifts and apologized to us for always not being able to visit us." An extremely bitter voice escaped Biserka's mouth. Her tone was very trembling, and she held back the tears, trying to avoid falling from her eyes.

"You know what? I'm fed up with the treasures and all the materials they give and provide. Mataya and I just want them to take care of the two of us and take care of us like normal parents." Her eyes were already very watery by now.

Biserka couldn't hold back the tears that ran down her face, "Until one day there's an opportunity where I can meet Mama, on the condition that I have to protect Verasha as payment for meet her."

Pavlo was very surprised to hear Biserka's story and what Biserka and Mataya experienced when they were little in their family. Pavlo felt very sorry and sympathized with Biserka. He then got up from his seat, approached Biserka and rubbed Biserka's head lightly to calm her down.

"I'm sorry, Bis. I shouldn't have forced you to tell me more about your background. I already understand why you don't want Mataya to know Verasha's identity for now. Please forgive my impudence." Pavlo said softly to Biserka, still gently stroking Biserka's head.

Biserka, who realizes her head stroking by Pavlo, immediately started herself from Pavlo and wiped her tears.

Pavlo, who was aware of his spontaneous actions, immediately turned away from Biserka, "Ah, I'm sorry." Pavlo scratches his head, which didn't itch at all.
