Chapter 55: The Painting.
'Day three.' Cally writes in her journey and sighed with dismay.
It's been three days since she had taken Leo's case under her authority but there has been no progress till now. Each day she goes to him and either he ignores her or scares the soul out of her with his psychopathic behavior.
She wanted to make a journal of whatever Leo experienced in his past or whatever he wants to tell her. But in these three days, she just had some blanks pages nothing else. Today she wanted to go home early too, cause there was a party for Sarah on her arrival from the hospital.
She walked slowly in the corridor from her cabin to Leo's darkroom. She knew today too there will just her questions and silence as their answers. She sighed once again and clenched the diary she was holding in her left hand. She opened the door and slowly closed it behind her. Leo still now resists to turn the lights of his room on, some nurses have witnessed his room's light being turned on at night for hours or more. But if they approach the room the lights go off again and they find the door locked from inside.
She turned the flashlight on and went in to just sit on the single bed once again, she kept her diary beside her. It was now like a meeting point for both of them. Though Leo never answered her questions he still always sits beside her until she goes out. Today Cally sat and waited for a while for Leo to appear and sit by her side. But Leo was like disappeared from his room. Cally turned her phone around and looked at each corner of the room. She was still thinking where he was until her eyes fell on a wall.
She went near to that wall and as she took a close look at it her eyes got widened. The thing on the wall something which could amaze anyone.
The wall had a huge face made on it, the face of a woman. Her lips were a shade between pink and red which looked too delicate. It had a gorgeous shine on it which no one can resist to see. As Cally saw further she saw her ears wearing a yellow jewel. Every detail of her ear and lips were too specified which made her look like a live person. Her cheeks had a slight blush and a sweet smile on her delicate lips made her look like an angel.
Cally wanted to observe this painting a bit more. She wanted to see her eyes but before she could someone came and twisted her right hand from behind and made her face towards the wall. The person pushed her hard on the wall while he held her other hand tightly towards the wall. Due to this sudden twist of Cally's wrist her phone got slipped from her hand and fell on the ground. She wailed a bit,
'Ah!'
'How dare you?' whispered the person twisting her hand more and more every second.
As soon as he spoke Cally recognized his voice and said,
'Where were you?'
It was like for a while she had forgotten all her pain in her hand and instead, she was delighted to see Leo.
'Shut up!' Leo screamed.
'Who permitted you to peek on my things without my permission.' He whispered in her left ear.
'First, leave me!' Cried, Cally.
But instead of leaving her, Leo pushed her more towards the wall.
'What are you doing here?' He asked.
His voice sounded too deep and too serious. His whisper was too clear and sounded threatening to Cally. A tear escaped Cally's eye as Leo embedded his fingers in her wrist.
'I- I was just looking a- at the paint- ahh!!' She cried again as Leo twisted her wrist more.
It was like if a bit more twisted her arm will be broken. She somehow tried to control her pain and took a deep breath in that process.
'Was it-' She gulped.
'you who painted this?' She completed.
'She' Cally stopped in between.
'looks beautiful.' Said in her squeaky voice.
Leo now clutched both of her hands tightly. Cally closed her eyes cause she knew now Leo won't spare her. Leo hated to talk about anything personal and that she knew already.
She cursed herself under her breath a thousand times for saying something recklessly but to her surprise Leo let her go and stepped back a bit.
Caroline turned around quickly and held her right wrist which was now quite red and ached a lot. She searched for her phone in that darkness. She can't even see where Leo was standing now.
She searched and finally found it. As soon as she stood up she accidentally flashed the bright light on Leo's face. He blocked the light and after a minute Cally realized and quickly turned it towards her.
As Cally's eyes were too sharp she, in that span of a minute, saw that he wasn't wearing any shirt and his hair was a bit wet. Maybe he was taking a shower in the bathroom Cally thought. With all this, she also saw that he had some scars on his body too. Some like a scar of being beaten by a rod too hard. Those scars made Cally a bit sympathetic for Leo. But before she could even ask Leo again held her right hand tightly and she wailed again.
'Ah! Please!' She said requesting.
Leo looked at her wrist and immediately let her go. His eyes had a bit of worry after seeing her reddened wrist, all thanks to the flashlight which lightened his face a bit even if it was turned towards Cally.
Leo looked at Cally who was starting at Leo and smiling a bit. Leo looked at her and got lost for a while in her eyes and smile. It looked so precious to him that he didn't want to let it go. But then he shook his head and said,
'Don't try to act friendly with me. I'm not someone whom you can lure.'
With these words, he handed Cally her diary and pushed her out of the room. As she came out without her will, the door got shut behind her with a big thud.
Though she was out of his room and again she wasn't able to seek any information on him still she was happy as she looked at her phone screen which had a photo of the half of the painting which was painted on the wall...
