Susanto arrived at the villa in the middle of the night. Cruz was asleep, but woke briefly because of the commotion caused by Susanto's walking into furniture in the lounge fronting their bedrooms. But things were quiet after that, and Cruz went back to sleep right away.
Cruz remembered nothing of the incident in the morning, but was reminded of it instantly when he emerged from his room to get breakfast and saw Susanto reclining in one of the armchairs in the lounge.
"Rafi!" Cruz cried happily. "You're back! What happened to your face?"
Susanto involuntarily raised his hand to the adhesive bandage taped to his cheekbone. It was a big bandage, but it still didn't quite cover the purple bruise that spread over his left cheek.
