“Honey, don't say that. The Gita is also our daughter-in-law and like our own child. Axel did it all because he loved her so much.” Felix.
“Mas doesn't know that the only one who loves it is Axel. But Gita is not. And I really can't accept that until something happens with Axel, our only child.” Nia spoke with anger.
Felix then hugged his wife so that she would no longer be emotionally upset. Honestly, he did not understand what his wife meant by saying that only Axel loved Gita, but Gita did not. Maybe later if things calmer, he will find out for himself the answer.
Felix also until the moment has not met with any of the members of the Iqbal family.maybe they are also equally worried about the state of the Gita.
The operation was carried out for approximately two hours. After that, a team of doctors and nurses came out. Felix immediately asked Axel's situation.
“Operation went well. And for a while the patient will be transferred to the ICU room while waiting for the next development.” Doctor's talk.
Nia cries again after learning that her son will be moved to the ICU room which she thinks Axel's condition has not really improved. Then the two of them followed Axel's gurney, which was pushed into the ICU room.
While in another operating room, where Dimas was undergoing surgery to retrieve a bullet that penetrated his heart. Outside the room was already Chandra and Daniel waiting. And soon the doctor and several nurses came out after the operation was over.
“How are the patients, Doc?” ask Daniel.
“Operation went well. But the patient will be transferred to the ICU room first so that we can monitor him intensively how his development is post-operative.” Answer doctor.

At the police station, Marvin is being questioned about all his actions. In a different room there is also Malik who is both being interrogated by members of the police after a while ago his hands were treated due to gunshot wounds. While Marco was immediately thrown into prison, because he was only Malik's men. The verdict will await the outcome of the investigation conducted on Malik.
Police temporarily suspended the investigation into Malik because of Malik's weak state. But he must be detained until the verdict is determined.
Malik was allowed to meet his lawyer who was waiting outside. They both spoke seriously. Malik asked his lawyer for help to ease his sentence later.
“One more time, I want to ask you for help.” Malik.
“Good, Sir. Just say.” The answer.
“Please find out someone named Dimas. I don't know what relationship he has with Iqbal. It's important find all the information about the man.” Malik said and was taken in by his lawyer.
Since being led to the police earlier, Malik is still thinking about the man he shot. Though his intention was to shoot Gita, but suddenly there was a man named Dimas who protected Gita by stretching his hand.
Dimas's gaze which unintentionally looked at Malik made him slightly surprised. Even though he had fought each other with Dimas before. Yet he did not see Dimas' face at all intensely. And when he shot Dimas. Malik looked at his eyes like someone who knew where he was now.
“Hopefully not him.” Malik muttered before entering the holding cell.

Gita has arrived in the city of J and is taken directly to the hospital. On the way, Jenny continued to cry to see the condition of her son who was still closing his eyes.The middle-aged woman's heart was very sliced, after yesterday just saw the relationship of the child and his daughter-in-law already looked warm.
But now there is a disaster like this. hopefully Gita can survive. It was the only prayer Jenny said in her heart.
Iqbal felt the same sadness. Moreover, he himself helped his son from the kidnapping earlier, although he had not seen Gita given the injection. Iqbal promised to demand severe punishment on the perpetrator. Moreover, they had almost endangered the lives of three people at once.
Given the lives of three people in danger, Iqbal remembered Axel, his son-in-law. He saw for himself how the bullet fired by Marvin hit . Iqbal hopes nothing happens with Axel.
In between waiting for Gita, Iqbal gets a call from his second son, Daniel. He told me about Dimas's condition after the operation. Iqbal was grateful to hear it. But when he asked about Axel's situation, Daniel answered him not knowing.
“Ya already, later let Papa ask himself. Papa asks you to take care of all the needs of Dimas.” Iqbal said before ending his call.
“Why, Mas?” ask Jenny.
“Daniel reports that Dimas has finished operations.” The answer.
Iqbal wanted to contact Felix to ask about Axel's situation. But he paused when the doctor who handled Gita just came out of his room.
“How's my son doing, Doc?” ask Iqbal.
“Patients are still sleeping, after I give some injections. Later when you wake up, it will be seen first how the reaction of the drug that I have given for further examination.” Answer the doctor with those glasses.
“Thank you, Doc.” Iqbal said later.
Shortly after, while Jenny and Iqbal were still faithfully sitting in the waiting chair, there came a middle-aged woman Jenny's age. Women seemed very worried after hearing bad news about the Gita.
“Jen, how is Gita doing?” ask Lidya.
After that they both hugged each other sobbing. Jenny could not explain directly, while Lidya still could not stop her crying.
“Already, you guys don't argue anymore. Better sit down first, we wait and pray that the state of Gita is fine.” Iqbal.
The two women sat down immediately. Jenny then narrated all the chronologies of how the Gita could be like this. Lidya was sad again after hearing the story from Jenny.
“You guys wait here first, I'll buy a drink." Said Iqbal and was taken by his wife.
Iqbal then walked to the hospital cafeteria to buy drinks and snacks for his wife. At least it can block his stomach that has not eaten since.
Before Iqbal returned to his wife's place, Iqbal was reminded of Axel's circumstances. Finally he reached for his phone and contacted Felix to ask him directly how his daughter-in-law is currently doing.
Iqbal made that call several times. The call is connected but not picked up. Is so severe Axel's situation that Felix did not have time to receive his call. Then Iqbal paused for a bit and called Felix back.
Iqbal was shocked when he contacted Felix one last time. Felix's phone could not be reached at all, and his number was blocked. Not enough to get there, Iqbal then contact Nia, Felix's wife. And the result is the same. Niente.
“It looks like something went wrong.” Iqbal.
