“I told you earlier, didn't I? Don't touch those needles. If you'd listened to me just a little, none of this would have happened. You look down on others as if only you have the ability,”, said Chandra Juandi.
Doctor Edi fell silent after hearing Chandra's words. His little heart confirmed the statement of the man before him.
“Alright, maybe you're right this time and I apologize for my rude remark earlier. Now can you save Miss Aluna?” Dr Edi said with frustration.
Not yet had Chandra Juandi answer the request of doctor Edi, mistress Kusuma came and again showed his arrogance.
“You really are a shameless person! You came like a hero who offered my daughter a favor and now you're selling expensive. How much money do you need?” madam Kusuma said with excitement.
Chandra's face hardened again. He is seen trying to hold back his anger because he heard the words of Madam Kusuma.
"If you think money can cure your daughter then why are you still looking for me?" Chandra asked back cynically.
"You!!” madam Kusuma looked increasingly upset. But suddenly Rega came and yelled at his wife.
“Close your mouth! You always look down on others and put your ego forward even when Aluna is fighting death! What kind of mother are you!?” Rega looks emotional to his wife.
“Chandra, please save my daughter. You're our only hope. I apologize for all my wife said,” Rega said slowly.
Aware after being severely reprimanded by her husband, Madam Rega instantly changed her attitude. He woke up, no longer emotional and cursed at Chandra. By throwing away all his ego, he even willingly begs Chandra to save Aluna's life.
“Chandra, I'm sorry for my rude remark earlier. I did it all because I was panicking. I couldn't see him suffer even if he just scratched a sharp object, especially with such conditions. Please, save my daughter!” madam Kusuma pleaded as she sobbed looking at Chandra.
Hearing Mrs Kusuma's apology, Chandra's heart was broken. “Alright, I will do my best for Miss Aluna,” Chandra said. He started to step towards the room where Aluna was treated, “Hopefully it is not too late.”
Rega and his wife, waiting outside the room restlessly. They walked non-stop. Too much time is wasted just to maintain an ego that should not be needed. Though their daughter Aluna does not need all that, Aluna only needs immediate help from qualified people.
Aluna is real proof to them that whoever he is, as long as he has the ability to do so, has the right to be given the opportunity regardless of his social status. A very valuable lesson for them.
Forty-five minutes passed. Chandra walked out of the room, his arms wiping away the sweaty streaks drenching his forehead.
Rega and his wife rushed to the man.
“How is Chandra, has my daughter been saved?” Rega asked worriedly.
With a steady and sincere smile, Chandra replied, “Relax Mr. Rega, your daughter is fine. He has passed his critical period. His heart rate is normal, just waiting for him to wake up and go through a recovery period.”
Madam Kusuma's cry broke upon hearing this happy news. Rega reflexively hugged Chandra's shoulder tightly.
From a distance, Sonya who is Chandra's wife also witnessed everything. She seemed to be smiling happily at what her husband had achieved.

The sound of knocking on the door shifted the concentration of Rega who was staring at his daughter peacefully asleep. Aluna's face was no longer as pale as porcelain. His cheeks began to blush, and his circles were no longer sunken.
“Good night, sir. Are you looking for me?” chandra asked quietly from the door mouth.
“There's something important I want to talk to you about." Rega got up from his seat and walked towards the long sofa right across from Aluna's bed.
The two of them sat next to each other, then Rega took something out of her briefcase and handed it to Chandra.
“I'm so grateful for everything you did to my daughter. Maybe this is not too big but accept it as my gratitude.” Rega handed me a check.
Chandra looked surprised as he stared at the cheque bearing his name with an extremely fantastic sum: two and a half billion!
But soon he returned the check to Mr. Rega.
"Sorry sir, I don't mean to be presumptuous but it's been my duty as a medic: to save patients, to save others. So, without diminishing my respect, I cannot accept your gift. This is too much for me.”
Rega fell silent after hearing Chandra's words. There was a sense of admiration in his heart. This man beside him was much younger than him, but he had much wiser thoughts.
Moments later, Rega is seen getting something out of his wallet. A Gold Card and hand it back to Chandra.
“If you think this check is too much, then I hope you will accept this card. This is access to buy all the necessities you need in all the stores that are in the auspices of our family company. Please, accept it and wear it. Think of it this time, I helped you,” Rega said with a warm smile.
Chandra stared at the card for a while. Then ask, “Sorry in advance, but does your family company also have a medical and drug store?”
“Oh, sure! Sure was! Our store is one of the most complete in the entire country for both of those things.”
Chandra was silent for a moment. Rather than money, access to medical equipment and medicine for him was much more valuable. Because with that, he could save even more people who needed his abilities.
So, he also received the card, “Okay sir, I will receive this card, thank you very much for your attention.”
The two people then shook hands warmly signaling the friendship between them began to intertwine.

“Doctor Edi, how can I be the last person to know the state of Miss Aluna!?” a woman's voice was heard holding back angrily on the phone line.
"I'm sorry Miss Sarah, at that time everyone was so panicked because the injury suffered by Miss Aluna was very serious and almost life-threatening" replied Doctor Edi timidly.
“That's no excuse! I could lose face because of your stupidity! When everyone was busy saving Miss Aluna, it was like I was hiding in a cave! Do you really want to humiliate me!?” the woman named Sarah Susanto.
He was the head of the hospital belonging to the Kusuma family group.
“I'm really sorry madam, I didn't mean it that way. Everything happened so quickly and needed immediate action" replied Dr. Edi.
“Alright, this time I forgive you because Miss Aluna's condition is starting to improve. We meet in ten minutes in the main lobby and explain in detail the condition of Miss Aluna to me!” reply Sarah quickly before hanging up.
