Sandy immediately booked an online flight ticket to Surabaya after calling Runa. Without thinking for a long time he immediately drove his car to the airport of General Besar Sudirman. On the plane, Sandy continues to pray for the safety of Khan, whom she considers her own son.
Arriving at Ir Djuanda Airport, Sandy rushed to book a taxi to the hospital where Khan was treated. An airport taxi stopped right in front of Sandy after the driver dropped off a passenger.
“Pak, we're going to this hospital yes, sir!” sandy said while showing Runa's message on her phone to the driver.
“Good, Master!”
Sandy got into the taxi. For about 10 minutes on the four-wheeled vehicle, Sandy felt too long waiting.
“Pak can be accelerated again? Because my son is critical and he needs my help,” said Sandy who is impatient to meet with Runa and Khan immediately.
Along the way, in his mind always crossed the shadow of Ata who was near Runa. He did not want to let Ata take advantage of this opportunity to try to approach Runa again. Even though he had his thoughts far away, Sandy still had to be careful. Because according to him, people like Ata will not be easy to give up.
The time taken from the airport to the hospital where Khan was treated only takes about 45 minutes. Sandy felt urgency because since traffic jams hit the protocol road in Surabaya.
“Is there no other path, sir? I'm already very late!” sucks Sandy who was cranky in the taxi.
“There, Sir. But, we have to turn around again,” said the middle-aged driver in a blue uniform typical of his taxi.
“Nothing, Sir. The important thing is I fast until.”
The road that now passes Sandy is indeed empty of vehicles. He believes in the next 10 minutes he has met his beloved son and future wife.
However, when the driver was seriously driving, the middle-aged man was sleepy. Sometimes he rubbed his eyes to relieve his sleepiness. But unfortunately, a truck from the opposite direction with high speed looks squishy and lost balance. Until finally the taxi collided with a car that was boarded by Sandy on the highway. The incident caused a long traffic jam on the toll road.
An ambulance carrying victims of a traffic accident arrived at the hospital where Khan was being treated. One by one the victims were put down, and immediately brought into the IGD room where there was a doctor ready to check.
“Dok, the last victim was very severe. The victim's head is not constantly bleeding. His hands and feet suffered broken bones. We should call the families of the victims to take further action,” one of the nurses said.
“Contact the police who handled the case. The identity of the victim is the same as the authorities!”
“Good, Doc.”

Meanwhile, at the same time, Mira felt that something was stirring her mind until she felt unsettled. He was taking medication and his blood pressure was back to normal. However, right now he felt a little uneasy and worried.
“Bu, from earlier Wati noticed, Mother was a little agitated. What's going on, Mom? Do you feel bad?” tanya Wati approached Mira who sat daydreaming on the living room sofa.
Mira shakes. “Come, Ti. I don't know either. Just now the feeling of mother feeling restless for no reason.
“Ya. Mom just take a break to the room. May the mother's feelings return well.”

Runa sat in a stainless chair in front of Khan's treatment room accompanied by Lukman, Lina, and Runi. Meanwhile, Ata, heading to the cafeteria bought food for Runa and Runa's family. Since arriving a few hours ago, he had not seen Runa eat. In fact, it was already late afternoon. Therefore, he took the initiative to find Runa food. Despite being rejected by Runa, Ata did not care. He has little sympathy for the mother of his son. He did not want to see Runa fall ill.
"Hello, good afternoon. Is this right with Sister Runa?" ask police.
"Yes, right," replied Runa.
"We from the Surabaya police department want to inform you that Brother Sandy is currently in an accident and was rushed to Dr. Soetomo. I wish sister could come here now. Given that the victim suffered quite severe injuries," explained the authorities.
Runa. He was trying to digest the word for word he had just heard. His heart seemed to stop beating after being able to unravel what was going on. “Yes God, should it be like this? What must this body be as fat as to be strong to face the trials of You?” inner Runa.
Her cheeks are wet again. The clear details drip more and more from the corner of the eye. His mind was muddled, his heart crumpled at the news about Sandy. The son is still weak there and now Sandy is experiencing the same thing.
"Hello ... is Runa's sister still there?" The voice across there immediately returned the body of Runa who had been scattered. He wiped away the rough tears that ran down the river on his cheeks.
‘"Ba-good, Sir. Thanks for the information."
After getting a call from the police, Runa immediately rose to run towards the IGD room. However, only a few steps both legs of Runa limp for a moment he suddenly staggered. Luckily Lukman caught his daughter's body immediately.
“Runa, what's up, son? Why are you in such shock? Who called you earlier?” ask Lukman worried. Followed by Lina and also Runi. They carried Runa sitting in a waiting chair along the hospital hallway. Coincidentally at that time, Ata who had just returned from the cafeteria accidentally saw Runa mobbed by her family in one of the waiting chairs. He was suddenly worried about Khan. Not waiting for long, Ata joined in approaching Runa.
“Yah, .. M-Mas Sandy accident. Just called Runa when Mas Sandy was treated here. Runa was surprised. Because before taking off at the airport earlier, Mas Sandy had contacted Runa following here,” explained Runa while sobbing.
“Astagfirullah.” Lukman and Lina were shocked to hear the news that Runa had delivered.
“Well, I'd better accompany Runa to the IGD to see the doctor who treated Sandy. Let Mama and Runi take care of Khan. There is also Ata here.”
Lukman agreed to his wife's proposal. After feeling a little better, Runa with Lukman headed for the IGD room. Until there Runa met the nurse who was standing guard in the room. He also asked where Sandy was. After getting the information from the nurse, Runa headed to the ward where Sandy was. Behind the white curtain that became the cover of the ward, Runa could not help but cry to see the condition of Sandy who was weakly helpless with many wounds on her body. A middle-aged male doctor approached Runa.
“Sorry, are you family Brother Sandy?” ask the doctor in white with a stethoscope hanging around his neck.
“Iya, Doc,” Lukman replied.
“Then please fill in the operation approval administration because the patient has a pretty hard bump on the head. We don't have long. Patients must be operated on two hours ahead,” said the middle-aged doctor.
“Good, Doc. Please do your best and save my son. Whatever the cost I will pay,” said Lukman deliberately said ‘anak I’ because he already considers Sandy like his own son. Especially after hearing Runa's explanation if all this time Sandy and Mira were the ones who took care and helped Runa in his difficult times.
Runa also told Mama Mira about the accident that hit Sandy. He also proposed that Mira follow to Surabaya. Of course Mira agreed, because since then he got a hunch until he felt anxious. It turns out that he got news that his only child was struggling in the hospital.
“Why is the operation so long?” asked Runa who was pacing in front of the operating room.
“Mbak, relax, yes. We pray Mas Sandy's operation goes smoothly,” said Runi who accompanied Runa with Ata. Now Lukman and Lina are guarding Khan in his treatment room.
“I can't forgive myself if something happens to Mas Sandy. It's all because I've been troubling Mas Sandy too much. Suppose I listened to Grandma Sekar's advice away from Mas Sandy's life, surely Mas Sandy would not experience something like this.”
“Mbak, don't think like that. Whatever happens, it is by God's will. We humans just live and be patient for what has been set. So don't blame yourself for what happened. We wish Sandy well. I'm sure, you're a strong man. The proof, he came here to see Khan. That means, he cares about Khan and considers Khan like his own son.”
“What Runi said, Runa right. I'm sure Sandy's a strong man. He will be fine,” added Ata helped strengthen Runa.
