everyone is waiting in front of the surgery room. Five hours had passed but there was no sign of the operation ending.The time had already shown ten o'clock at night.

" mom and dad better just go home and rest. It's 10pm" Zain told his parents.

" mama still wants to be here, Zain, waiting for Salsa's operation to end." replied Santi.

" just go home ma, pity Alan. Can't children like Alan too long to be in the hospital" said Zain.

" but.." Santi's mom hasn't finished talking, the husband interrupted.

" right says, Zain. look, pity Alan is asleep" said papa Zain.

" hufft, okay.yasudah mama and papa go home first, tomorrow mama and papa return again.if there is anything, immediately contact us yes, son." said Santi ma'am.

" yes, ma." Zain replied, and Zain's parents returned home with Alan.

" umi, abi also came home yes.so Raihan and Zain are waiting here" said Raihan.

" well, son, but what about Annisa?" ask Umi.

" who's Annisa, umi?" ask Raihan.

" Anisa's Salsa's daughter, son." Umi replied.

" huh, that's right umi?" asked Raihan who was surprised to hear that Salsa had a child.

" yes son." reply Umi.

"then where's Annisa now?" ask Raihan.

" Anisa's in the ER" Zain said.

" how's Annisa doing, son of Zain?" ask Umi.

" thank God, Annisa wasn't badly injured just a scuff wound." Zain replied.

" so who's keeping Annisa around?" ask Umi.

"so Zain left with the nurse on guard. Annisa is still asleep due to the influence of sleeping pills given by the doctor so that she is not shocked by the incident, aunt." Zain replied.

" now Umi and abi come home yes let us be on guard" said Raihan.

" well, son. call us immediately if there's anything" Umi said.

" well umi. Dawn you bring a car." said Raihan.

" yes bang." replied Fajar.then Umi, abi and Fajar immediately went home, now left Raihan and Zain waiting in front of the operating room.

" zain" said Raihan.

" yes." reply Zain.

" do you remember that I had a little sister who was looking for all this time?" ask Raihan.

" yes yesterday you told me." Zain replied.

" my sister has finally been found" said Raihan.

" huh, is that right?" ask Zain.

" it's true." Raihan replied.

" so where's your sister now?" ask Zain.

" he was there" Raihan said, pointing to the surgery room.

" huh? I don't understand." said Zain.

" my sister is now in surgery in this operating room" Raihan said. Zain furrowed his brows.

" you mean Salsa?" ask Zain.

" yes he's Salsa." Raihan replied.

" WELL, HOW CAN IT?" asked Zain in a loud voice.

" mister is forbidden to be noisy" said a passing nurse reprimanding Zain because his voice was loud.

" ahh sorry sister." replied Zain while scratching his neck that did not itch because it held the shame.

" Rai, are you serious about your words?" ask Zain again.

" what makes you so sure Salsa is your missing sister?" ask Zain.

" because her face is very similar to Karina" Raihan replied.

"don't be fooled by your face, it's not necessarily your sister" Zain said.

" i'm pretty sure she's my sister" Raihan said.

" what makes you so sure Salsa is your sister?" ask Zain.

" not only his face. yesterday umi in the snatch and then Umi in the help of Salsa and brought to his house. there Umi and Salsa chatted, Umi, Salsa tells the story of her childhood when she was discovered by her mother when she was five years old and grew up there. It happened twenty years ago that coincidentally the tragedy of Karina was kidnapped." Raihan.

" just with the story alone has not been convincing, Rai" said Zain.

" there is one that adds to me, umi and abi are sure that Salsa is Karina" said Raihan.

" what?" ask Zain.

" birthmark" said Raihan.

" birthmark?" ask Zain.

" yes, birthmark. Karina has a heart-shaped birthmark on her back and Salsa has the exact same birthmark as Karina" Raihan replied.

" how did you know Salsa had a birthmark on her back?" ask Zain.

" when Umi chatted with Salsa, umi asked if Salsa had birthmarks like karina's and Salsa replied she had them. umi had seen them too." explained Raihan.

" so are you going to do a DNA test?" ask Zain.

" yes, if Salsa is cured we'll do a DNA test." Raihan replied.

" if the DNA test results state Salsa is Karina then you will be my sister-in-law haha" Raihan said.

" sister-in-law? how do you know I'm getting married to Salsa?" ask Zain curious.

" i found out yesterday.When I picked up umi at Salsa's house, I saw Alan in Salsa's arms and called her mother.that's where I became aware that Salsa was your future wife." answer Raihan.

" oh so." said Zain understood. the operating room lights went out indicating that the operation had ended, the door of the operation opened and looked a doctor who was still wearing scrub suits or green operating robes. the doctor approached Zain and Raihan.

" how's the operation, doc?" ask Zain.

"thankfully, the operation went well." the doctor replied.

" then how's the patient doing, doc?" ask Zain.

" the patient has passed the critical period but is still in a coma" said the doctor.

" when will the patient be conscious, doc?" ask Zain again.

" to realize that I can't be sure, we just pray that the patient can be immediately aware of the coma" the doctor replied. shortly three nurses came out of the operating room pushing a gurney over which Salsa was still in a coma with an oxygen hose attached to her nose.

" please move the patient to the VVIP room unite his room with his daughter who is still in the ER, doc." said Zain.

" well sir." replied the doctor. Salsa was moved to the VVIP room on the fourth floor of the hospital.After Salsa was in the ward, Annisa's gurney shortly entered into her mother's ward. the mother and child were put together in a nursing room to easily monitor the condition of both of them.

" if you have anything, you can push this button" said the doctor, pointing at the intercom button on the patient's bed.

" well, doctor thank you." said Raihan.

" together, sir." replied the doctor and immediately came out of Salsa's ward.

" Rai, have you contacted your parents if Salsa's operation is over?" ask Zain.

" no, we better call our parents tomorrow morning when they must be resting." said Raihan.

" oh, yeah, well." said Zain.

" i'm going to the minimarket, is there anything you want to drop?" ask Zain.

" i tipped coffee nescafe aja cold." reply Raihan.

" well then I go out first" said Zain.

" okay." reply Raihan. Zain immediately came out of the ward and went to the mini market opposite the hospital. Zain buys cold drinks, mineral water and chocolate-filled bread for a wedge of the stomach if hungry.
