Next day.
Early in the morning Argha and Gintani go to Mr. Hanzel's house to attend the funeral of the late doctor Richard. Keranda was ready to be put in the hearse as soon as Argha and Gintani arrived. In the end, Argha and Gintani did not come down. Argha returned to his car and followed the hearse that drove to the Public Funeral.
The journey to TPU is approximately 20 minutes from home. Arriving at the TPU, the coffin was immediately lowered by several people who had been assigned. The funeral procession began. Slowly, the body of Dr. Richard began to be handed down to the earth in accordance with Islamic law. With his insistence, Mr. Hanzel followed the funeral procession from start to finish.
So many people led the kind doctor to his final resting place. They appear to follow the funeral process with solemnity. They were glued to watch as the ground slowly began to cover the body of the generous doctor.
"How are you going to take the next step, Han?" tuan Jaya asked as soon as the funeral procession was over and the people had gone home.
"You mean?" Mr. Hanzel asked back.
"I mean about the accident that happened to Richard. Are you gonna ask the police to find out who did it?" ask Mr. Jaya.
"What if by catching the culprit, my son can come back to life?" ask Mr. Hanzel.
"I knew. But at least, we should give justice to your son. The culprit will feel good if we do not give the appropriate punishment" said Mr. Jaya.
"Come, Jay! But the only thing I want to do, is go back to my house. Here I have no one else. My wife and son have left me. And now, I don't know who else I'm staying and fighting for" said Mr. Hanzel, staring at the still-wet grave.
"Don't be like that, Han. If you really want to go back to your country, I won't forbid it. But please don't forbid me to investigate the accident that befell your son. I and Argha will try their hardest to find the hit-and-run perpetrator" replied Tuan Jaya who was followed by a nod of Argha.
Without them noticing a pair of middle eyes watching them from behind the sizable banyan tree. She is Ilona, the girl who secretly attended the funeral ceremony of doctor Richard.
Ilona's heart raced faster than usual after hearing Mr. Jaya's words. I must immediately get rid of the evidence, Inner Ilona.
Ilona immediately left the place in a hurry. The goal is only one, which is to eliminate the traces of his crimes. The bribery and swearing he made for Gintani which he considered as his misfortune. His determination to destroy the woman was getting stronger.

Ahead of the dzuhur, Argha and Gintani arrive home. Argha immediately laid his body on the sofa. Meanwhile, Gintani goes to the kitchen to make cold drinks and snacks. After a few minutes, he returned to the living room with a tray containing a snack and two glasses of orange juice.
"Drink, Mom?" Gintani offers her husband a drink. He then placed the tray on the table.
Argha get up, "Thank you, baby!" argha said while taking a glass of orange juice and sipping it. "Oh yes, Yang. I'm curious about the accident, what exactly was the chronology?" argha asked his wife.
Gintani sighed. He felt sad when he had to recall the bad event.
"Actually Gintan doesn't know exactly, Mas. It happened so fast, which Gintan remembered, Brother Richard shouted to Gintan. When Gintan turned his head, he suddenly pushed Gintan until Gintan fell. When Gintan wakes up, Gintan sees Richard's brother has been bounced because it was hit by the car," replied Gintani trying to tell the accident that occurred in front of his eyes last night.
"Then, what are you doing there? Didn't Mas tell you to wait for Mas in the hospital. What time is it, you guys going home?" ask Argha again.
"No, Mas. At that time we just returned from the pharmacy opposite the hospital," replied Gintani.
"To redeem Gintan's medicine," replied Gintani.
"Why should it be in the pharmacy ahead? Why not in a pharmacy that's in a hospital?" Argha asked again.
"Come, Mas. Andre's doctor prescribed the drug and had Gintan make up for it at the front pharmacy. Actually, Brother Richard also asked like that, but when he found out Andre's doctor gave a prescription. He said if Andre's doctor always advised his patients to redeem the medicine there," replied Gintani at length.
"Hmm, okay. Tomorrow Mas and papa will report this hit-and-run case to the police station. Hopefully, we can find a bright spot," said Argha as he rubbed gently the back of Gintani's hand.
"Aamiin..," replied Gintani expectantly.

Ilona walked back and forth in her apartment. His face looks very wrinkled. Occasionally he stopped and grimaced with the pain in his lower abdomen.
"No! I cannot be weak. First, I have to get rid of the car. Let me remember, hmm ... roughly, who could help me to sell that car" muttered Ilona as she continued walking to and fro.
For a moment, Ilona sat on the sofa. Both hands he folds on the chest. "Celine," muttered Ilona. Can Celine help me? Ish, he's not a smart man to keep secrets. Nah! He was not the right choice for the task, then who? inner Ilona.
A grinning smile suddenly plastered clearly on his face. "Yes, I know who to ask for help," he murmured again. Okay, I'll meet him now, Inner Ilona.
Ilona immediately went to the room to change clothes. After feeling pretty neat, he came out of his apartment. He drove his car to a place.

At the Mahardika Heart Centre clinic. Nando continued to try to calm his wife. "Patience, Mother! Our son will survive. He's a very strong boy" said Nando, rubbing his wife's back.
"But until when, Pa?" ask Mela. "I can't see him in such pain anymore, Pa. He is still too small to always feel injection after injection in some part of his body" continued Mela.
"Yes, Papa knows. Papa is also trying to raise money so we can have a heart transplant for our child. Please, be patient!" nando pinta.
"Pa, should we just sell the house?" ask Mela.
"Don't, Ma. The house is the only relic of Papa's parents. Moreover, Papa has a sister. Where would Sarah stay, if Sarah got out of the mental institution?" answer Nando.
Mela could only shut up and went back sobbing in her husband's arms.
"Then what should we do, Pa?"
