Elena intentionally lingered at the back in front of the main corridor door, cautiously looked back, and pointed to the rear of the courtyard outside for her brother and the young man.
Leon understood the hint, recalled the layout of the courtyard, and probably realized she was referring to the secluded corner they had met at yesterday. He then turned his head and gestured for Lokhak to follow him.
Unable to contain his emotions over the reunion, Lokhak suppressed his excitement and followed his sister's silhouette as they left the embassy building.
After several turns, avoiding idle onlookers, they arrived behind the statue in the backyard.
Lokhak embraced his tearfully disheveled relatives.
"I'm sorry sister, I've arrived too late!" The tall young man cried with tears in his tiger-like eyes, trembling with fear that he was dreaming.
