AUTHOR POV
"..with a heavy heart I want to inform you that the patient on behalf of Aaron Bimantara has been declared dead at 22:35."
"HAHHHH..?!!!!" adrian and Ray shouted at the same time.....
"Don't be reckless when you talk sister!!!" bentak Adrian's.
"I'm talking facts, sir. There is no way I would dare to joke when it comes to someone's life. I resigned, to take care of the body of the patient. Good night."
The sister moved out of place and left Adrian with a face that was difficult to guess.
Ray is very creative to break the silence by inviting Adrian to speak. "Then what, sir, is the next step?"
"It was beyond my expectations Ray! I think Mr. Aaron survived, apparently not. This makes me confused! If we go home, our trip here will be in vain because we can not get any info. But if we stay, what do we do? Mr. Aaron is dead..!!"
"There's still his daughter, sir! I had not had time to talk much with him, because I had been called by the nurse. I'm sure putrin-"hasn't had time for Ray to explain, Adrian has cut his word.
"Remain sure what Ray? Sure he knows something? From his movements alone it was obvious that he didn't know anything like it."
"If you haven't tried, you won't know sir!" Ray did not give up.
Adrian could only cluck annoyed at hearing Ray. But on the other hand, he felt that what Ray said was true as well. Maybe the girl knew something.
"Yes, you helped take care of Mr. Aaron's funeral from behind. Pay off the hospital fees. About the cost let me take responsibility."
Ray was a little astonished to see Adrian who seemed so concerned for Mr. Aaron. He even asked her to take care of his funeral. Because, during years of work with Adrian, Ray never saw his boss was sympathetic or empathetic toward someone.
"Why silence?! I don't care, but just pity his son Mr. Aaron. Her father had just died, her brother had disappeared. Must be a hassle if you take care of your own funeral, let alone she's a girl."
"That's the same thing about sir" Ray's mind.
Looking at Ray who was confused and did not say a word, Adrian patted Ray on the shoulder to resuscitate him.
"Hey, over time you think, I just want everything to be in order. By helping his father's funeral, it could make it easier for us to approach him and find information. Now you better have two other bodyguards intervene about the funeral. Then we find a hotel to stay in, I know that it's been this night your brain loading needs rest."
"Good, Sir!" said Ray timidly while scratching his non-itchy head. He must admit, all day he was a little tired of doing all the tasks of Adrian.

Deep sadness still enveloped Nadine. Never crossed the slightest thought of losing the father so soon. Dry were his tears crying over the departure of Aaron, his first love.
After her father was declared dead, Nadine immediately contacted Kelvin to inform him of this grief.
Kelvin, who has just finished from the police station to take care of Aaron's shooting and Nathan's disappearance, is shocked to get news of Aaron's death by phone from Nadine
Not wanting to make Nadine go through all this grief on her own, Kelvin immediately drove his car to the hospital where Harun was treated.
When Kelvin arrived at the hospital, he went to the ICU waiting room to see Nadine. There, Nadine was sitting limp with an empty look.
"Nad, I'm so sorry for the loss of Om Aaron."
Nadine who heard Kelvin's voice moved from her seat and immediately scattered her embrace on Kelvin.
"Dad Vin.ayah.he's gone" sobs Nadine who was restrained since just came out after meeting Kelvin.
Kelvin tried to strengthen Nadine, "Patience Nad, I know you are a strong man. Let Om Aaron go quietly." Nadine nodded her head.

Nadine approached the body of the father to capture some photos while saying farewell sentences.
"It's a quiet break, my dear father. Nadine promised to always smile and try to stay strong even though Dad was no longer there by Nadine's side now.I love you very much Dad," Nadine kissed the father's forehead before the chest was closed.
There were not many people present at Aaron's funeral. Only the neighbors, Aaron's employees, as well as some of his colleagues are not too many.
Understandably, Aaron himself indeed lives a kara. He only has Nathan and Nadine. Therefore, none of Aaron's family was present. Only Kelvin and his parents were present to support Nadine.
Aaron's funeral process went smoothly without a hitch. The mourners, who were Aaron's neighbors, helped to escort Aaron's coffin to his final resting place as a form of burial service.
Accompanied by Arin, his mother Kelvin, Nadine sprinkles flowers over Aaron's final resting place. Arin unceasingly rubbed Nadine's back gently while holding her hand tightly, as a form of support from her.
From a distance, Adrian looks handsome by wearing all-black clothes that are in line with his glasses. She and Ray had been watching Aaron's funeral from afar.
Ray proposes to Adrian to approach Nadine later, when the situation is conducive. He thinks that Mr. Aaron's daughter must still be afflicted. So it is unlikely that the woman was directly in droves with some questions related to Galih.
Unlike Adrian who has other thoughts. He himself was impatient to get to Nadine and throw some questions for her. The sooner, the better the case is resolved.
"I don't want to know Ray! Anyway, after this funeral procession is over, we must immediately meet the woman. I won't put it off again!" Adrian's orders.
Like it not like, Ray can not refuse the request of his superior. So he just agreed to the order given Adrian.
When Aaron's funeral is over, Nadine is escorted home by Kelvin. Actually Arin and Rahman have offered Nadine to stay at their home for the next few days, so that Nadine is not lonely alone.
The offer was rejected by Nadine, arguing Nadine only needed calm and privacy in this difficult time. Nadine plans to stay in the apartment for a while. But still, Nadine is very grateful and appreciates the goodwill of Arin and Rahman.
Undeniably, losing a valuable figure in life must have left such a deep sorrow. On the way home, Nadine still showed the same look of sadness on her face as yesterday.
The only difference is, now Nadine is not crying too much. Maybe he was tired from crying all the time.
"I'll never get tired of telling you to stay patient and strong, Nad. Believe me, there will be rainbows after the rainstorm passes. I'll always be there for you." said Kelvin breaking the silence.
Nadine threw her faint smile. "Thank you ya Vin, from yesterday until now. Thank you very much, because you helped me get through this."
"Best friends, remember? Do not hesitate if you need help, do not always feel that you are alone. It's me, my parents, too."
"Yes, Vin..."
Kelvin, who was holding the steering wheel on the bench, could see Nadine trying to stay strong. "Hey, smile dong.don't be sad!"
"I will try my best, okay!" nadine Sahut.
"Oh yeah Vin, by the way.I'm still curious about yesterday. About the administrative costs of the hospital Dad who has paid off paid off. Even for Father's funeral today there is also someone who takes care of. Even though I don't feel like I'm paying, my father also didn't join the insurance program and others!!"
Since yesterday, this has indeed disturbed Nadine's mind a little. How can anyone who is kind enough do that.
"I also think so Nad, if you think about it pretty much anyway. Horrified as well, where's the money? Sorry to offend, but your father's burial place is elite. Not an ordinary person to be buried there."
"That's Vin, I had intended Dad to be buried somewhere else. But apparently, the RS was directed to Terra Hills. Even the cost of caring for Dad's grave for the next few years is fully covered."
"We discuss fitting in your home just yes.all discuss about my report yesterday at the police station. I haven't had the chance to tell you, how. Because the police are gonna check the TKP today."
"Okay.it's also close to home."
Kelvin quickly set his car's gas pedal in a hurry to get to Nadine's house.
