Carrying the compress, Noval stepped towards the balcony. Before sitting down he took off his torn and tattered shirt and threw it on the balcony floor. Then slamming his body into a chair, and began to put compresses on his face.
Compress stuck on the bleeding face, Noval enjoyed the pain while looking straight ahead, he was struggling again with his thoughts. Hopefully Noval's decision this time, is the right decision that he can really afford.
His hand again dipped the towel into the basin of water, then after wringing it out Noval put it back on his face. Noval's gaze deepened into the dark night, Ranu's eyes that came back from his memory, Maya who lost her baby, and Nita with all her threats.
Noval pondered, "Maybe this way I can make amends." He whispered in his heart. Noval just doesn't want another woman to be a victim in his life, plus, after he reunites with Maya, the pain of being separated and losing someone he loves. Noval had felt all that.
