"If he's sent abroad, is there any way he can be cured?" Abi Gabriel asked the Doctor who treated Arsyad.
"The possibilities are very small, sir. It's been almost a month, but the patient hasn't shown any progress. In fact, I think..." The doctor took a deep breath and then continued. "I think it would be better if the patient is released, because circumstances like this are so torturing patients, let alone the possibility of recovery maybe only 1%."
Abi Gabriel was surprised to hear what was spoken by the Doctor, even he seemed to be goosebumps, pitying his former daughter-in-law who is now very unfortunate.
"I have an acquaintance of the Doctor from America, I will ask him to come here and deal with Arsyad, please keep trying your best for him" Abi Gabriel said later.
"I'm sorry, but are you a patient?" Ask the Doctor who was curious because suddenly Abi Gabriel came to visit Arsyad even willing to call the Doctor from abroad.
"His family" said Abi Gabriel.
He went into Arshad's room to visit Arshad before he returned to the village. Gabriel's heart was sympathetic as he looked at Arsyad who really looked helpless.
"Did karma come that fast?" He mumbled softly. "Or is God just testing you?" Abi Gabriel held the head of Arshad, rubbing it gently as he often did to his own children.
"Wake, Arsyad! I don't want my granddaughter to be born an orphan."

Anggun still continues to think about the request of Ummi Ridha who wants to reunite Arsyad and Aira, on the one hand he wants to do that to make up for all the mistakes he did to Ummi Ridha and Arsyad. But on the other hand, his heart was unable to. Imagining Arsyad with Aira alone has made his heart as if in a crumb.
Gracefully sitting contemplating by the window, in her room, in her own home. After the death of Ummi Ridha, Anggun felt he had no right to live in the house anymore.
her gaze was blank and her mind floated, back in time as she said she was ready to become Arsyad's second wife. He remembered how he begged Arshad's love, at that time he was so sure Arshad would love him slowly especially if he became pregnant.
But reality is sometimes very far from what was expected, and now Grace feels it.
He managed to enter the life of Arshad, but he did not manage to occupy his heart.
She managed to conceive Arshad's child, but she did not manage to steal his attention.
Tears just flowed back from the corner of Anggun's eyes, especially when he remembered how Umm Ridha fainted after knowing that he was the one who pushed Arsyad until the accident happened.
And after all that, Ummi Ridha still released her and her father from all charges just because she was pregnant.
Below, the two Anggun elders were in a similar state, suffocated by a sense of regret and guilt that seemed to tear their composure apart at any moment. Especially now that everyone knows, Anggun is the second wife of Arshad, and Anggun who pushed Arsyad to an accident.
The scorn for their scorn received from those around them, they even considered Graceful to be death, which put the life of Arshad at risk and took the life of his mother.
Anggun's life was increasingly strangled, he never again dared to leave the house, he just continued to confine himself in his room, if any out, only to the hospital to visit Arsyad.
Meanwhile, Ms. Husna was never able to sleep well after the death of Ummi Ridha. Almost every night he dreamed of his best friend, as if he wanted to collect something from him.
"Where are you going?" Ask Mr. Arif who saw his wife rising from her seat.
"Meet Aira's parents and tell them what's really going on." Husna said as she grabbed her car keys.
"What will they say? Graceful's gonna get in trouble again till they figure it out."
"You want how else, Mom? There's been a lot going on because of Grace!" Exclaimed Bu Husna loudly, he was really stressed with the circumstances, especially every time he went out of the house, he always heard the scorn of people about his family.
The loud voice of Husna's mother was heard up to Anggun's room, attracting the attention of Anggun and he went down to see what happened.
Mr. Arif hugged his wife, tried to calm her down, but Ms. Husna was still crying a mouthful.
Bu Husna and Ummi Ridha have been friends for a long time, they love each other and respect each other. And he never thought that the death of his friend would be caused by Anggun, the daughter he loved so much.
Graceful who heard what her mother said could only cry, not only her mother, she could go crazy with all the regret and guilt that tore her inner peace.
"Maa.." wirih Anggun while going down the stairs.
Mr. Arif and Ms. Husna turned their heads. "I'm sorry." Anggun's voice shook violently.
Ms. Husna immediately approached Anggun and hugged him tightly. "We tell them, Anggun.we tell them and apologize to them."
"But I'm scared, Ma."
"When do we want to live in fear like this?"

"Nobody's missing, right?" Jibril asked Aira and Aira shook her head.
They have been in Islamabad for a week and now they have to go back to Lahore.
"Please, your queen...." Javeed opened the door for Aira and it reminded Aira of Arsyad.
"Please your highness the queen..."
"Thank you, my lord...."
Aira involuntarily smiled as she recalled that time, still loving, colorful, that Aira could never forget.
"Thank you," said Aira who made Javeed's eyes sparkle immediately, as this was the first time Aira had said her thanks so gently.
"Sama-sama," answered Javeed gleefully.
"Hem, time goes by so fast huh," Arkan said as he posted the footage during his time in Islamabad to his social media.
"Oh yes, Aira. I posted a video of Via on my social media," the great-grandson of Arkan then who instantly got a sharp look from Aira.
"Remove," pinta Aira.
"It's only 30 seconds, look at Neh..." Arkan showed the video of Aira and many people liked the video. "Don't ya, it's a real shame to have it removed. I'm sure it's safe, '" persuaded Arkan.
"Yes, but don't tell me who's in the video" said Aira, who made Arkan excited.
"Eh, but how does anyone know Via? He's nanyain neh" Arkan said.
"Who?"
"Milk."
