The next day ...
Mr. Gunawan accompanied by his assistant, Surya, has arrived in Bali. They rush to an apartment that Wira tells them, which is where Shera has lived all along. Entering the apartment building that can not be said to be luxurious made him doubtful. Given how glamorous the lifestyle of Shera during her status as her daughter-in-law.
Wira and Mr. Gunawan gave her a luxurious life and obeyed whatever the woman had cooled down. However, it was not enough for a Shera to choose to leave.
Now, his former son-in-law only lives in an ordinary apartment with makeshift facilities.
"Didn't the Hero give you the wrong address?" asked Mr. Gunawan to examine every corner of the building.
"No, Mister. Said Bima, he did live here," replied Surya reassuringly.
"But, Shera couldn't possibly want to live in a place like this."
"We better get to the unit to make sure. Come, Mr-" Surya invites his Master to enter the elevator first.
Not long after, they had arrived before a door that was half open. Mr. Gunawan and Surya glanced at each other, before finally approaching the door. Surya knocked several times, but after a while of waiting, there was no word or sign of someone in the room.
"Is there no one? But why did Shera leave the door open" said the man with furrowed brows.
"Maybe he's inside, sir." Solar finally knocked, again and again. But there is still no truth, so they decided to go in there.
And, to their surprise, they found a woman they believed was Shera lying on the floor with a foaming mouth, like someone who was poisoned.
"Oh my God, Shera!" exclaim Mr. Gunawan. He immediately approached Shera and patted her on the face several times. "What's going on?" he muttered as he watched the bottle of insect poison lying just like that on the woman's side. Seeing that, they were sure that Shera had just attempted suicide.
Panicking, Mr. Gunawan asked Surya to immediately contact the security guard who was standing guard on the ground floor of the building. And immediately, they took the woman to a nearby hospital.

With a worried look on his face, Mr. Gunawan sat in a waiting chair. There the doctors are trying to save Shera. He looked several times taking a deep breath. Concerns about Shera make him unable to think clearly.
"Sir, shouldn't you rest at the hotel first? I will wait for him here" said Surya.
"No! I'll stay here" he sat down with his arms crossed over his chest. Occasionally glanced towards the glass door. "What's going on. Why did Shera kill herself?"
Surya, who had investigated Shera's life earlier, immediately replied. "According to information from some neighbors, Ms. Shera was left by her lover abroad and eventually became depressed. He also has debts everywhere" he explained.
The middle-aged man's face was suddenly dejected after hearing his assistant's words. She felt pity, however, that Shera was once part of her family, and was the mother of her favorite granddaughter.
"Hopefully nothing bad happened to him."
A few minutes later, a doctor came out of the room. The man in white clothes also explained about the condition of Shera who is now still unconscious.
"Good, Doctor. Thank you." Thank you."

It was dusk when a woman lying weakly in the patient's bed began to move her fingers, a sign of awakening.
Mr. Gunawan who noticed the movement from Shera immediately approached the woman. Still with imperfect awareness, Shera stared at every corner of the room that was to her the stranger. He wriggled slowly, while massaging his temples. He was not even fully aware of what was happening.
"You're sober?" Mr. Gunawan's heavy voice made the beautiful woman growled. He immediately looked at the source of the voice.
And, how surprised the woman was when she realized who was sitting in the corner there. Instantly both of his eyes were filled with clear liquid. Between embarrassment and sadness, he suddenly remembered the thing that had passed. About all his deeds that ultimately destroyed a family.
"A-dad .." he said intermittently. His voice still sounded very weak.
As usual, Mr. Gunawan published a faint smile. He approached Shera and sat down on the side of his bed. "What's going on? Why would you end your life, son?"
Hearing the gentleness of the former father-in-law, the woman was increasingly unable to stem her tears. "Dad, I-" he said, crying bitterly.
"Calm down! You can tell me everything. I'll help you." He coded Surya to leave them both in the room. After the door closed tightly, then Shera felt free to talk to Mr. Gunawan.
"I don't know what to do, Dad ..."
"Shera, suicide is not the only way to solve the problem."
While crying, Shera tried to explain. "I'm sorry, Dad. I deeply regret my past actions."
"Forget about that. All that's over. Now let's talk about you. What can I help you with?"
"Do I deserve to be forgiven? Dad, I plead guilty. I darken my eyes. So make all these mistakes. I'm sorry, Dad."
Mr. Gunawan closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Shera's betrayal hurt them all. However, now the presence of Via into his family is like a gift.
"I've forgiven you."
Seeing the condition of Shera who is still weak and down, Mr. Gunawan also became pity. He did not expect that this bad thing would happen to Shera.

Insha Allah I will not move stalls. As long as writing makes me happy, then I will keep writing, and only in NOVELTOON of course.
