Long wait in uncertainty, the operating light finally went out. The doctor came out of the operating room.
“Doctor, how is the operation? Is Austin safe?’ ask Ramona.
“Operation went well, Miss. We wait for the patient to wake up. After that we will make another observation,” said the doctor.
Ramona and Julie breathed a sigh of relief. Their prayers for Austin's safety have been granted.
“Can we meet Austin now?” ask Ramona worriedly
“Can, Miss, the patient will be moved to the transition room,” the doctor said.
After the doctor left, the door of the operating room opened. Two nurses pushed Austin's bed to move her around the room.
Austin's eyes are still tight. Either because of the influence of drugs or because he was not aware of fainting.
Seeing Austin lying helplessly, Ramona shed tears. He followed Austin until the man was put into the transition room.
Ramona sat on the chair holding Austin's hand. He wanted Austin to open his eyes and then spook at him. He also recalled that Austin had not yet collected two gifts from him.
“Ramona, just let go of Austin's hand. She's still under the influence of dope,” pinta Julie.
Ramona nodded and let go of Austin's hand. He didn't budge at all. Ramona is determined to wait for Austin until he wakes up.
Next to her, Ramona sees the sleepy Julie. His middle-aged mother must be exhausted from bearing all the events of today.
“Better Mommy go home and rest. Mommy looks tired,” Ramona said.
“You're okay alone keeping Austin?”
“I can do it myself, Mom. Later if Edgar comes home, please explain to him about Austin's condition. He needs to know why I'm waiting for Austin at the hospital. Edgar has misunderstood me,” pinta Ramona.
“Yes, Mona, I'll explain that we owe Austin a favor. Then I'll go home first. Don't forget to eat and rest, Mona. I don't want you to get sick,” Julie said.
“Let me know that Austin is conscious,” added Julie.

‘Austin, I won't let you take Ramona. I won't let anyone have it but me,’ growled Edgar clenched his teeth.
Along the way, Edgar continued to curse. He was angry with Ramona and Austin at the same time. Edgar drove his car at high speed. He plans to wait for Ramona's return, forcing her to share the invitation.
Edgar stopped his car in the yard of Ramona's house. The house looked quiet as if it was uninhabited. Ramona and her mother are still in the hospital.
Edgar opened the car door violently. It doesn't understand why everyone is so privileged about Austin. That man was stupid and useless. Austin is very far from his level when compared to him.
Edgar rolled his eyes to the right and left. He was forced to sit alone in front of the terrace while waiting for Ramona to return.
When Edgar was engrossed in playing his phone, Ramona's car suddenly came. Edgar thought it was Ramona, but the one who got out of the car turned out to be Julie.
“Edgar, are you waiting for Ramona?” greet Julie.
“Mom, why doesn't Mona come home with you?” ask Edgar full of questions.
“Ramona still hospital waiting Austin.”
Edgar's parasites became red. Ramona didn't even come home to look after the Austin guy.
“Ramona always just deify Austin,” Edgar murmured in a high tone.
Seeing the look of anger in Edgar's eyes, Julie immediately gave an explanation.
“Edgar, you don't have to be angry like this. The reason Ramona took care of Austin was because she wanted to return the favor. Austin has saved us from the bodyguards of Lucas,” explains Julie.
“I don't care, Mom. I feel ignored by Ramona because she takes care of the stranger too much. Ramona should have kept my feelings. Soon we will be married.”
“Mom, take care of all these invitations. I'm not interested in spreading it. Please help me!” edgar's orders in a furious tone.
Julie was confused to accept the invitation. Just this time he saw Edgar was very angry with Ramona.
“I will go following Ramona to the hospital,” stressed Edgar.
Julie who heard Edgar's wish was instantly anxious. He was worried that there would be a big fight between Edgar and Ramona. Julie doesn't really want her daughter's wedding plans to fail.
“Alright, Edgar, I'll send you all these invitations. However, I ask you not to fight with Ramona. Talk everything out with a cool head.”
Edgar did not answer. He rushed into the car and drove fast. He must prevent Ramona from being alone with Austin in the hospital.

Ramona is still waiting for Austin. He looked at the face of the man who was still not free from the influence of drugs.If seen up close, Austin's face was very handsome.
While observing Austin, the man's fingers suddenly moved. Next his eyelids also moved. Ramona called for a nurse.
“Suster, Austin's fingers and eyelids are already moving. Please check the condition,” pinta Ramona.
“Good, Miss, I'll check it.”
The nurse walks with Ramona to Austin's room. By the time they arrived, Austin had already opened his eyes. With his consciousness yet to fully recover, he stared at Ramona.
“Mona,” call Austin.
“Master, I will check your condition,” said the nurse.
The nurse checked Austin's eyeballs. He then checked Austin's blood pressure and heart rate. Everything is normal.
“How, Sister?” ask Ramona worriedly.
“The patient's condition has improved. No allergic reaction. Soon the patient will be transferred to the ward.”
“Thank you, Sister.”
The nurse left and soon returned with her partner. They moved Austin to another bed, then took him to the treatment room on the third floor.
“Austin, how are you doing now?” ramona asked after they stayed alone.
“My head is so dizzy. I want to puke, Mona,” complained Austin.
“Just spit, Austin, don't hold.”
Ramona immediately picked up the medium-sized basin available on top of the nightstand. He brought the basin closer to Austin's mouth, then let Austin vomit. While rubbing Austin's back, Ramona let the man remove the rest of the anesthetic fluid from her body.
Seeing that Austin had stopped vomiting, Ramona painstakingly wiped her lips with a tissue. Then he helped Austin lie on the bed carefully.
“Thank you, Mona,” said Austin.
I don't know why Ramona felt something different about Austin's eye rays. Same with the man's body language. Could this change be just his feeling?
“Mona, have you been waiting for me since?” ask Austin.
“Yes, I also pray for you during your surgery, Austin.”
Austin flashed a smile on his pale lips. Suddenly he touched Ramona's hand gently.
“I'm happy because you care about me,” he said with a dim look.
Austin's gaze made Ramona's heart shake. Again he felt Austin was very different from before. The look of the eyes and the look of this martyr does not belong to a boy, but to a grown man who is in love.
