Chapter 15

The faint sound of a cell phone suddenly brought me back to reality. I lowered my gaze and saw that Reynaldo had replied. What I had just sent him was: "Anton is taking me to a place; I will come back later to be with you." After that, a cute emoji was added at the end. He replied: "Where does Anton want to take you?"

I looked out of the window and saw that the car had already left the city and was heading towards the outskirts. I looked at Anton again and asked, "Where are we going?" Anton’s face was cold, and he still seemed unwilling to speak.

I pursed my lips, ready to reply to Reynaldo, when he suddenly said, "Reynaldo’s father is going to kneel at my father’s grave today, so I want to take you to see." I was stunned for a second and asked, "Where is your father buried?"

"It’s still the same small town," Anton said, then suddenly laughed, the laughter inexplicably sad. "We all came out of that small town, only my father… stayed there forever." I lowered my gaze and asked no more.

Before long, Reynaldo’s phone rang, and I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t replied to him yet. I quickly answered the phone.
