"Why are you outside?" Hendra walked to the girl who sat in silence on her wooden bench, staring at the ceiling and the night's dark sky from her terrace.
"I also think that the AC inside is broken," she replied sarcastically.
"It's too cold here, let me get your blanket," the blue eyed man headed to the door.
"Wait!" Aruna got up from the bench, holding his gaze, "Where have you been?"
"Dr. Tio came, so I chatted with him in his car."
"What did he say?"
"He said I'm fine."
"You're lying!" the brown of her eyes were glinting in irritation, "Don't lie to me. I always know when you're lying, I just pretend to believe you."
Hendra sighed, "I asked him how can I persuade my wife when she won't let me touch her."
They both froze.
They both froze.
"Go inside and get me my blanket," Aruna said and sat down again, back to staring off like before.
