The compassionate kidnapper

A fleeting moment of happiness

_The twenty-second of November...
A week passed and I did not see my father anywhere and he did not even call me

I go out to Clarine after she came with her father to take us to the university.
She waves at me from afar with a smile. As usual, she is full of happiness and makes my day.
She greeted him in the morning, and he returned the greeting with a worried smile

_ Never mind, you will do well in the exam. You know that I always worry.

_ I whispered to her...

We arrived at the university and I was walking, feeling that all eyes were on me, an unwanted feeling, but I didn't care.
I passed the exam without talking to anyone, and Claren and I went to rest for a while.

     From afar, I noticed a group of intruders approaching me and saying:
_I heard that you were not in your luxurious palace, oh rich one. Did your father expel the spoiled girl? Are you an orphan now, oh little bird?

And I was blowing away, frivolous, and I would have lost my nerve if Clarin had not whispered to me:
_ Calm down, there is no need to lose your temper now. It is enough for you. Stay calm and let us leave. She grabbed me by the hand and pulled me to leave.

- Did you see how they provoke me? They are a group of losers who have nothing to do but interfere in people’s affairs.

_ Forget Rossana and do not pay attention to them. There is nothing left to graduate to maintain our psychological balance at the present time.

The sun began to set and I was watching it. Perhaps my sadness would go away as well. I returned home after a long day. I ate my food and went to take a shower.
Water pours on my head and I think about how I have lost expression to the point that I do not feel anything, as if disappointment is surrounding me from all sides, and time has stopped for me, at an endless point, and the colors have migrated from life, and only gray remains of it.
And after my misery is over, the phone rings...
I grabbed him to reply..

_ Clarine, weren't we together a while ago? Leave me room to miss you.

Stop complaining, Rossana. Listen, tomorrow we will not go to work. Come with us, we will go for a picnic. Please, I do not want to be rejected.

_ No.. I cannot come. I am too tired

_ Rossana, please... Please, we have been through a difficult time. We need to be happy a little, and imagine Clarence will come with us... and she laughs silly.

-And you want me to come with you, the naughty Clarence

_ Listen to me carefully, if you do not come with me, I will not go with you next week to help you with work.

- Okay, Clarin, shut up. . . As you wish, if I did not come with you, the conversation would go on for a long time and you would not be able to talk enough

She says enthusiastically, “Yes, this is my girl.” Good evening, Rosanna

_ You also have.

And then the call ended, I fell asleep again with my nightmares and ghosts of oppression. At least the darkness did not leave me.
The next day was modern, with the cool breeze, the blooming of winter flowers, and the bright colors of the sky and its pure clouds.
We went to the picnic. Clarence’s mother had prepared pies and fresh fruit. We sat looking at the flower garden, its trees, and the sunset, but the moment did not last with Clarence’s noise.

- Oh... Oh my God, here he is again

_ Get up and play the ball with me.

_ Go away from me, I don't want to.

Clarin with endless enthusiasm:
- Hey, Rossana, get up and let's play a little

Bored:
_Okay, you stubborn people.

We played a lot, and the grass tickled our feet, and we ran until we ran out of breath, and excessive laughter accompanied us, and Clarence picked flowers for me and put them in my hair, and Clarence's parents sat to watch us, and the moment Clarence fell on the grass was even cuter.
We took pictures and created beautiful moments of unforgettable happiness.

_On the night of the same day..

* Rossana's father receives an anonymous call!
After pressing the call button, he raises the phone to his ear

_Yes.. Who?

Without knowing himself, in a threatening way
_ Listen, you corrupt person... resign from your position and stop with your money, otherwise I will make your soul leave this life or I will kill your loved ones and make you regret it for the rest of your life.
He hung up the phone without giving him room to answer...

Damn it, he threw the phone away... angrily shouting:
_Who dares to threaten me like this? Who is this person who speaks to me in such a rude manner?!

But with his anger, fear rose somewhat, as he had many enemies to talk to himself about after he realized the threat...

-But what did he mean by "killing your loved ones?"

_End of Part Five_

Who was this anonymous contact of Rossana's father?

Will Rossana's fleeting happiness fade?
