FROM A DISTANCE
Dominic turned towards the door and saw Dody standing in the doorway with a slightly haggard face. A few months since Elena left, Dody had even gotten thinner. He admits that he is fasting and if he wakes up in the middle of the night to pray at night he can never go back to sleep. Maybe that's why he lost weight.
"Come in, son Dody," said Aruga invitingly.
"Thank you. So, how about it, can I come to Singapore to see Elena? I'm not going to see her. I just want to see her from a distance," said Dody.
Aruga and Arsy looked at each other, they felt pity in their hearts seeing Dody. Dominic himself as a friend feels sorry but at the same time proud.
"Didn't you have an agreement not to meet or ask how Elena is, Dod? You want to break your promise?" asked Dominic just to test.
"I only saw him from a distance, Dom. Wouldn't say hello at all. Just seeing that he was fine, seeing him smile was enough for me," said Dody.
