THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Receiving Karma

At the crossroads, the red light is on. Dika did not see it, keep pushing the red. Right in the middle of the intersection, a boxcar hit from the right side.

Dika's car was thrown a few meters. Ringsek. While the car that hit still drove

as the traffic was quiet, there were no other vehicles.

Dika was evacuated after 30 minutes of the incident. He was taken to the nearest hospital. Incidentally, it was the hospital where Haris' doctor worked.

The conditions are quite alarming.  His body was covered in wounds and he was unconscious.

One of Edi's men recognized Dika's car immediately reported to his boss.

Edi immediately slid into the rented house. He did not deliver to Farhan first.

He opened the door with the key he held. Hendrik apparently did not sleep, still staring at the laptop monitor screen.

“What's up? Bring food, right? Kiki starved tuh,” said Hendrik without turning his head.

“Dia nginep here?” ask Edi.

“Iya. What news is there?”

Hendrik shifted his seat. Now he faces Edi.

“ When accident. Just my men told you.” Edi said the new information was obtained.

“O yes? Killed?” Hendrik responded casually.

Edi glared at Hendrik.

“Still alive, seriously injured. In fact he was admitted to the hospital doctor Haris,” continued Edi.

“Good, dong. That makes it easier for us to suppress Dika. If healed. If not, then wassalam. Bye, bye,” comments Hendrik still with style cuek.

“Family Tanto and Gunawan how?” ask Edi.

“Leave freely just mumpung Dika dying. Dika's men have been weak to lose control. Especially if they know Dika's business is destroyed. Who's gonna pay them? They are loyal to the ones who love money,” replied Hendrik.

“Alright, tomorrow they we release. Gunawan's sister just moved her treatment place.” Edi.

Hendrik agreed. He glanced back at his laptop monitor.

“Sekalian Gunawan moved only. Return Arif to its original position. I think so.”

“Gunawan moved to where?” ask Edi.

“Serah boss. I'm not the boss. That Tanto should be moved as well. Although they cheat under pressure, it is still a mistake,” replied Hendrik seriously.

Edi speechless. He was considering Hendrik's speech.

“Omonganmu has a point. All right, tomorrow I'll tell you to Ma'am Via and Mas Farhan. Those who have the right to decide, especially Ma'am Via.”

“My brain is a genius from the past. It's a destiny you can't deny,” said cocky Hendrik.

“Sok ah! Genius but single,” taunted Edi.

Instantly Hendrik put on an annoyed face. He threw a small pillow nearby.

“You're also good-looking. Just yesterday dapet girl was already dagu. New candidate, candidate Bang,” reply Hendrik by placing emphasis on the word candidate.

“Biarina. Better than single. Week..” Edi stuck out his tongue.

From one of the rooms, Kiki came out with messy hair. Apparently, he's asleep. The guy was sitting next to Hendrik.

“Jeez, Kiki! Just make it a shock! Kirain kuntilanak,” exclaimed Hendrik.

“Ih, carelessly the brother. Rich period gini spelled kunti,” kiki sumput while brushing her long hair.

Edi laughed out loud.  His laughter grew louder as Hendrik tied Kiki's beautiful hair with a rubber band.

“Bang, don't be hard on his laugh, huh. Serem, you know! Attract neighbors on wake up, lo!” kiki.

“Neighbor? How many meters is it from here to the neighbor's house? The nearest one is next to the tomb,” said Edi.

“Well, there he is our nearest neighbor who is in that tomb. Try if they are surprised to keep waking up, how?” kiki.

Hendrik shouts Kiki's head with a murmur, “No need to be weird! If you're here, you were kidnapped.”

Edi and Kiki just laughed. They continued the conversation until midnight.

***

Via family dining room in complete formation. The seven of them were already sitting around the table. Only Baby Zayn was in the baby carriage.

Breakfast was delicious that morning. Either because of Mbok Marsih's cuisine or carried away by a happy atmosphere.

Edi tells that he and Hendri assisted Kiki already know the brain behind the manipulation of data on the report. Indeed, Edi did not tell what they planned for Dika. He just told me the problem was almost sorted out.

After breakfast, Ms. Inah and Mbok Marsih cleared the dining table. Edi had said before that he would talk about Dika.

“What will Mas Edi say? What action did Mas Edi plan to take to stop Dika? I hope you don't hurt him. He is Ratna's cousin, Dek Via's best friend. He has also suffered because of his father in prison, even though it was the fruit of the crimes he committed.” Farhan opened the conversation

“Luckily I did not interfere in rummaging through Dika's business. Can runyam his business if until Mas Farhan knows.”

“Ehm so, Mas. Last night I got information from my men that Dika had an accident,” said Edi with a tone full of caution.

“What? The accident? Continues, how is it?” exclaim Via startled.

Farhan rubbed Via's hand, gesturing for the wife to remain calm.

“Sorry, I myself have not seen Dika's condition directly. Based on reports from my men, his condition is severe. The car is ringsek,” explained Edi.

“Indeed where did it happen?” ask Farhan.

“Account. The cause is still under investigation. There were no eyewitnesses in the incident. Police can only rely on CCTV footage,” Edi replied.

“Means hit-and-run? At the scene there was only Dika?” car

Farhan and Via looked at each other. Via shrugged his shoulders, gesturing that he handed the decision to Farhan.

“Alright, we will go there and check my left hand,” said Farhan.

“Then, Kiki I asked to accompany when visiting Dika,” said Edi.

Via suddenly held back a laugh. He always remembered Azka's reaction when he met Kiki.

“Mas Edi not coming?” ask Farhan.

“I have to go to the office. Don't worry, I have a body guard there. Also during the trip,” replied Edi.

Farhan nodded in understanding. Then, he looked at Via.

“You want to come, Love?” ask Farhan lirih.

“It's okay?” Via looks doubtful.

“Dedek Zayn left alone with Bu Inah. Don't forget, leave a lot of ASI!”

Via nodded in agreement. He went to take a breast pump to pump ASI. In addition to preparing ASI, Via also change clothes.

After saying goodbye to Bu Inah and Mbok Marsih also leave Baby Zayn, Via rushed forward. Mr. Yudi had prepared a car to drive them.

Arriving at the hospital lobby, they meet the doctor Haris who just delivered his guests.

“Farhan want control?” ask Dr. Haris.

“Iya, Dad. Besides, we want to see Dika. He's Ratna's cousin. According to the information Farhan received, he had an accident last night and was brought here,” Farhan said.

Mr. Haris stepped into the information section. He spoke briefly with the officers in the section. Quickly, the officer typed something and conveyed it to Dr. Haris. After receiving an explanation from the information section, Haris' doctor returned to see Farhan and Via.

“Yes, there was a patient on behalf of Handika who entered last night. Condition's bad. From IGD he went to the ICU. I don't know the details yet. We'll ask the ICU. You guys go to the surgery first. Later when it's done, we go to ICU.”

After directing his children, the farewell doctor will examine the patient. Farhan and Via went to the surgical clinic to check the condition of Farhan's left arm.

After being examined, Farhan and Via contact his father. They were waiting in front of the pharmacy counter.

About five minutes later, a slim man with long hair tied with rubber hair black color approached. Who else if not Kiki?

He greeted him and sat down beside Farhan.

“Have you visited Dika, Mas?” ask Kiki without further ado.”

“Not yet, wait for dad. If you are with father, we can ask more freely to the treating doctor,” replied Farhan.

“She was treated where?” ask Kiki again.

“ICU. Condition's bad. That's preliminary information from the information department officer earlier.”

Just as Kiki was about to ask again, Dr. Haris came closer.

“Daddy is done? How fast?” ask Via.

“Iya, was replaced by doctor Yahya because there was a guest from Dinkes. I just went on to check 2 patients. Come on, let's go to ICU!” take Dr. Haris.

The four of them headed for the ICU. Mr. Haris did not take them to the patient's ward, but the doctor's office.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Dr. Haris.

“Waalaikumsalam. Please come in, doc,” sahut doctor Grace friendly.

They sat in the available chairs in the not-so-large room.

“What's up, doc? How about with the group?” ask doctor Grace.

“This, we want to ask the condition of the patient named Handika,” replied Dr. Haris.

“Oh, the accident victim last night? His condition is stable. While don't look first! Does Dr Haris know him?”

“He's my friend's brother, doc,” sahut Via.

Doctor Grace turned to Via. He gave a friendly smile.

“It just so happens. We have not been able to contact his family. In fact, we need to sign the approval of the family for medical treatment for Brother Handika,” said Dr. Rahmat.

“Indeed how is Dika's condition, doc?” ask Farhan.

“He suffered a broken leg and rib. The external injuries are also quite numerous. Worrying are broken ribs and injuries to his head. He probably wasn't wearing a seatbelt. In addition, he drives a car under the influence of alcohol,” said Dr. Rahmat.

They were quite surprised to hear the doctor's explanation. Kiki was also briefly interrupted.

“Then, what action will be taken?” ask Kiki.

“Which is clear, we are waiting for the patient's condition to be completely stable. After that, we'll do surgery for his ribs and legs. Chances are his leg amputated due to a severe fracture,” replied the doctor.

The three of them were surprised. They did not expect Dika's condition to be that severe.

“There are families to contact?” ask doctor Grace.

“There, doc. Later I will tell his cousin,” replied Via quickly.

After getting enough explanation, they say goodbye to doctor Rahmat. Once outside, Farhan and Via exchange farewells to the father. Kiki just followed.

On the way to the parking lot, Via contacted Ratna to convey Dika's condition. Meanwhile, Kiki sends a message to Edi and Hendrik.
