Both of Robi's parents were walking casually towards Robi's inpatient room. But they were surprised to see some nurses running around the corridor signaling something bad was happening to one of the patients.

" Why are they running away, Pa...?" ask Mama Robi.

" There may be a critical patient Ma." said Robi's father.

" Kasian yes Pa. At this hour, the time for people to rest, uh even have to take care of the patient.", said Mama Robi.

" That's the risk of becoming Ma's medical personnel. They have been trained in gini-rich situations. Try to see, even though their faces are tense, but they are still professional, said Robi's father.

" Yes Pa. Uh, but for a second. That's Robi's room. They're getting out of there, Pa. Don't-don't." Mama Robi's words were interrupted when a nurse greeted them.

" The family of Robi's patient." called the nurse.

" Yes..," said Robi's parents together.

" I'm sorry, the doctor wants an important talk right now" the nurse said.

" What's the matter Sister...?" ask Mama Robi worried.

" Please go to the room sir, Ma'am.," said the nurse.

Both of Robi's parents rushed into the room where Robi was treated. They were astonished that they did not find Robi there. There was only a doctor and a nurse who seemed to be recording what the doctor said.

" Good night doc. What's this Doc, where's My Son...?" mama Robi asked in panic.

" I'm sorry Mom. We have to say with a heavy heart if the patient on behalf of Robi died fifteen minutes ago." said the doctor carefully.

The doctor's words surprised Robi's parents. Robi's father looks rubbed his face violently while saying istirja. The wife did not seem to believe.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun.., "murmured Robi's father resigned.

" What ?!. Maybe it's doc. This must be wrong. My son was fine when I stayed praying earlier...!" mama Robi said.

" No mistake ma'am" said the doctor patiently.

" Can't. This must be wrong. Not before was rich. You said My son died, but he was still breathing. You guys don't lie...!" mama Robi said in a loud voice.

" Mama is patient dong..," interrupted Robi's father while trying to keep his wife away from doctors and nurses.

" Can't Pa. No way Robi died. He was fine when we stayed. This Hospital I can sue for neglecting to look after patients...!" mama Robi said as she stared fixedly at the doctor.

" But I can't do that because we have CCTV footage that records all the activities of patients in this room including anyone who comes and interacts with the patient...," the doctor said firmly.

" But why were they taken to the mortuary. Why aren't you waiting for her family...?" mama Robi asked, not accepting.

" This is Hospital Ma'am's procedure. After all, Mother and Father have been contacted several times before..," said the doctor.

" I'm sorry My Wife doc..," said Robi's father.

" Gapapa Sir, we understand. Events like this are common. In order not to misunderstand me, let's follow me to the morgue.., "take the doctor gently.

" Nice doc..," said Robi's father.

Both of Robi's parents appear to be pecking at Robi's side of the body. They can't believe their pride's firstborn is gone. An hour ago, the three of them were still talking about a lot of things.

Robi's father suspects that the injury suffered by Robi is a punishment for the actions of Robi who allied with the devil.

" What Papa is worried about is finally happening, son. You died because of your own actions. Didn't Papa ever say that cooperation with the devil is only profitable at the beginning but loss at the end. Now look, you have to pay for all the services that they provide with your life.", the inner father of Robi Nelangsa.

While Mama Robi looks still crying lamenting the departure of Robi. He said a lot of things and hoped Robi would hear it and then re-open her eyes.

Because of fatigue crying, Mama Robi also fell unconscious. The nurse who was there also immediately helped Mama Robi. While Robi's father just silent to look at the two bodies of the people he loved are now in front of him even though in different conditions.

Tears appeared to wash over Robi's father's face. He tried hard even with a mountain of disappointment.

Aruna and Kautsar have just arrived in front of the campus. They saw Genk Comot was gathering in front of the campus and made Aruna confused because it was out of their habit.

" Why are they outside, honey...?" ask Kautsar.

" No know. The power is important deh..," said Aruna while getting off the motorbike.

Ria who first saw Aruna seemed to smile then waved her hand.

" What is it RI, why is the tumben on gathering here...?" ask Aruna.

" There's news of Run's grief. Robi died early this morning,." said Ria.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun., "sahut Aruna and Kautsar together.

" Who said...?" ask Aruna.

" Rame is inside. Hence the friends who know the deceased want to sleep at his house this afternoon..," said Ria.

" Will you come with Run...?" ask Galang.

" God willing to come. Can you be Tsar...?" asked Aruna while looking at the Kautsar.

" yes. Ntar I also permit to pray deh..," said Kautsar to make Aruna and his five friends sigh in relief.

" His body was taken to his house...?" ask Kenzo.

" Kaya is belom..," said Fadil.

" We'll wait for news in a minute. If it is not possible to go to the funeral home, we go directly to the burial place aja..," said Agung.

" Oh yeah. The power is that. You know we have a quiz, you don't know what time it's over..," said Fadil.

" When we go to his funeral, guys. Finish college new way. No way Robi is guaranteed early in the morning, the Hospital procedure is a bit complicated and it takes a long time to manage the return of the body.", said Galang.

" Ok..," said Genk Comot together.

" That's why I went to work first. Yuk all, Assalamualaikum.., "said Kautsar after kissing Aruna's head quickly.

" Yes, WA alaikumsalam.., "said Genk Comot together.

" I think Kautsar will not ngijinin Lo to menggelayat rivalnya Run..," said Ria.

" Tsk. Kautsar is old enough to be thinking about Ri. He knows how to behave the same Robi who he knows has tried to get close to his wife.." said Aruna with a smile.

Ria also smiled and stepped with her genk to the campus.
