Alika Dean was silent. He imagined how many people were crying over the loss of their loved ones, how many children had been displaced by the loss of their parents, and how many tears had fallen because of all that loss. And it all happened because of him.
Dean gripped the curtain in front of Alika and opened it wide. Dean looked out the window and saw the rain that was soaking the ground, Dean imagined the faces of those who were crying when they saw the bodies of their loved ones.
Dean recalled seeing Tao die in front of his eyes and he could do nothing to help him. Dean's heart ached at the thought of it, Alika looked at Dean's face filled with grief and guilt.
Alika walked one step and stood right in front of Dean. Dean stood facing Alika and knelt before her, Dean cried and folded his hands while kneeling before Alika.
"I'm guilty. I was wrong. I was so wrong" Dean cried out in regret.
Alika also shed tears. Alika sat down in front of Dean and clasped Dean's hands together for forgiveness, tears and regrets and now became the closest friends in Dean's life.
"If you regret your actions, promise not to repeat them" Alika said as she cried.
"I will do anything to make amends for all my mistakes" Dean sobbed sobbing.
"You have to calm yourself and then think clearly, and then correct your mistakes with your kindness" Alika said, caressing Dean's face.
"I... Do I have to turn myself in to the police?" Dean asked Alika.
"It is up to your heart. Believe me if your conscience will never be wrong" said Alika with a heavy heart.
"Dean... You do have to correct your mistakes, but what about Rio and I? Separating from you for a day or two we might, but for the rest of our lives we won't be able to..." Alika with all her heart.
"You?..." Dean was surprised.
"Dean I can't see you tormented or hurt anymore. If you really want to fix everything let me be there to support you, I can't lose anymore" Sahut Alika while looking into Dean's eyes full of love.
"Then what should I do?" Ask Dean worried.
"We'll think about all that later.. Now let's get up you have to rest, your condition can worsen if you sit on the floor for too long... later who will take care of Rio if you are sick?" Alika said while wiping her tears.
"Let me here. Let this cold take away the fire that has been in my heart" said Dean, declining Alika's advice.
"If you want to put out the fire, put it out with kindness, not by torturing yourself like this"
"Can I still do good? Do I deserve to be called a human? I've even made an innocent child turn into a monster, do I still deserve to be called a human?" Dean said with regret.
Alika was silent, she could no longer speak. Alika hugs Dean lovingly and breaks him down and then lays him on a couch. Alika calls a doctor and asks him to attach a new infusion tube to Dean and give her a sedative. Alika stayed up all night to take care of Dean and Rio.
