"I'm so sorry," said Dharma Putra to Andira. "Really, I didn't mean to harm your pariah at all. E—Everything was Andhika's idea, I just went along with what he had planned, Andira. Please believe me…"
"I don't want to hear your excuses," Andira said as she turned her face to the left. "It was clear to me that you wanted to eliminate Aryan. You and Andhika are the same! Equally, cowards who act out of bounds! You guys have no respect for the lives of human beings, how could I possibly believe your words?!"
"I—I did all because I was afraid of losing you. I love you so much Andira, I do!"
"Love?" Andira snorted softly then looked intently into Dharma Putra's eyes. "What do you know about love, hmm?"
"I–"
"Come on now, don't make excuses in front of my face! You've shown your character, time and time again."
Prince Dharma Putra took a deep breath. "Tomorrow we will return to Daksina," he said, lowering his eyes, "I just wanted to leave a good impression on you, that's all."
