Ardan was surprised by Aruna's attitude, which was clearly firm in asking for an honest answer from Ardan. Ardan stared at Aruna who was waiting for his answer, reminding him of how he got the wounds on his face and some bruises on the parts of his body that were covered by clothes.

''Yes... Thank you,'' Aruna replied while smiling at him. Ardan also nodded while smiling at the officer when he was about to leave.
