Ray began to check the young man's pulse and heart rate, but everything was no longer working. The young man whom he did not know his name was gone. There was a bit of disappointment in Ray's heart as the young man breathed his last as he almost got important information from him.
****
Ray entered his house with lethargic steps.
"How, Master? Did you manage to find that young man?" tanya mbok Asih who deliberately stood guard in the living room to wait for the arrival of the master.
While the Saints were seen standing next to him.
"The young man is dead" said Ray.
"So right, the one we saw was a ghost?" ask mbok Asih.
"The young man had just died from being beaten by the masses."
"Innalilahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un" said Suci and mbok Asih simultaneously.
"Why did he get hit by the mob?" Holy chiming.
"The young man was caught for stealing a loaf of bread in a shop."
"Oh Allah, poor is his fate" said Mbok Asih. So, who is that young man really, sir?" tanyanya.
"Mbok's guess is correct, the young man is the biological son of the mother from his marriage to a boy named Sean."
"Lantas, why was the young man kicked out of his house?"
"That's her. The young man almost answered my question, but he was still breathing his last breath."
"By the way, it's near midnight and Lady Sofia hasn't come home yet. Even if she did go to her husband's house, why would she let her son be kicked out? I'm sure that something is not right" said Suci.
"Yes, Sir. Shouldn't we go to Sean's house? My feelings are really bad. Yes, even though my mistress and I often have disagreements, I am still worried if something happens to her" said Asih.
"Mbok knows where the housing is, right?" ask Ray. Mbok Asih nodded his head.
"We're going there now."
"Good, Sir."
"Be careful, Mr. .. Mbok Asih."
Both of them left the room.
Half an hour later they arrived at the Carnation housing.
The atmosphere of housing at midnight is of course so quiet. Only a security guard was seen at the entrance of the housing.
"Good night, sir," said Ray.
"Good night. Can I help you?"
"The point of our arrival here is to find Sofia's mother's home address."
"Mrs Sofia?"
"Ehm .. I mean Sean's father's house."
"If I may know, what is your relationship with Sean's father, and what is the need to find him in the middle of the night?" cecar security's.
"I'm .. I'm his brother, sir."
"San's father is now in the hospital."
"Is he sick, sir?"
"It was not Sean's father who was ill, but his wife who I did not know his name. He used to come to Sean's house but hardly ever stayed."
"What happened to Sofia's mother?" ask Ray.
"Okay, I don't understand either. Because I just started watching from seven o'clock last night. But according to one resident, Sean's father took his wife to the hospital because of an accident inside their house."
Ray was silent for a moment, and he thought.
"Did the young man say the word hospital?" muttered.
"Good, Sir. Thanks for the information. We're heading straight to the hospital now."

Meanwhile Sean is seen coming out of Sofia's treatment room to get some fresh air. At that time, two nurses were pushing a patient trolly. A policeman followed behind them. At first Sean was indifferent, however, suddenly he was interested in looking at the face of the patient who was on top of the trolly.
"Jeez, Benny!" muttered.
"Suster! Wait!" yells. The two nurses turned towards him.
"What's up, sir? Do you recognize this corpse?" ask one of the nurses.
"Je-je-nazah, Sus?"
"really. This patient was already in a state of death when he was taken to this hospital."
With trembling steps Sean approached the patient's trolly. Her crying broke when she found out that the patient was really her biological son, Benny
"Benny! Wake up, son. Forgive me," he said.
"So you know this patient?" ask the nurse
"Yes, Sus. He is Benny, my son. Does Sister know what happened to her?"
"God. You mean, my son died because he was beaten by a mob? Why would that be?" ask Sean.
"This patient was caught stealing a loaf of bread in a shop."
Sean was sitting on the bench. If only he had not blamed and expelled Benny, this terrible event would have never happened to him.
"As a patient's family, I hope you will immediately take care of the funeral of your son" said the nurse. Not long after the two nurses and police officers passed from in front of Sean.
"How's this? Paying for Sofi's treatment fee alone I'm already confused. Now taking care of Benny's funeral," he murmured.
The sound of the door creaking woke Sofia.
The gini live in darkness.
"Honey, that's you, right?" tanyakanya.
"Yes. Do you want to eat, drink, or go to the toilet?"
Sofia shook her head.
"Sofi .. did you not think to contact Ray?" ask Sean.
"Have you lost your mind? If he comes here, he'll ask questions. I know, he's been hard on believing me."
Suddenly the door of the room opened. A man and a middle-aged woman entered the room.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, Mrs Sofia" said the man.
"Isn't that Ray's voice? How did he get here?" Sofia Gumam.
"Ray .. you?"
"Yes, Mom. It's me, your adopted son, Rayyan. I came to this place with mbok Asih."
"How did you know you were here?" ask Sofia.
"Security told me."
"Ray never knew where Sean lived. How could he possibly come to that place?" inner Sofia.
"If Madam is thinking how Ray can know where Mr. Sean lives, I'm the one who told her, Madam," explained Asih.
"White Stock?"
Sofia fumbled as if looking for something. From there Ray realized that something had happened to his adoptive mother.
"Mother? Mother why?" tanyakanya.
"Sofi's blind," replied Sean.
"Y-w-ta?"
"true."
"What's really going on? Why are you blind?" ask Ray again.
"This started when Sofi wanted Benny's car. He wanted to take the car, but Benny refused to give it to him. Pulling happened until finally Benny pushed Sofi's body to fall. His forehead hit the corner of the table. Doctors said there was damage to his eye nerves. That's what caused Sofi to lose her sight" Sean said.
"I understand now. Sir blamed Benny and kicked him out, didn't you? Do you know, because Mr Benny passed away?"
"A-a-pa? Benny is dead?" sofia asked half in disbelief.
"Yes, Madam. Last night Benny had a chance to come to the house of Mr. Ray. He said he was starving because his father had driven him out. Mr. Ray who did not know Benny was then invited Benny into the house and told me to feed him and drink. However, when I had prepared food for him, Benny disappeared."
"It looks like Benny panicked after seeing Mom's picture in the living room. He knows that I'm Ray that you've been using all this time. That's why he chose to quickly leave my house. But apparently the term stomach affairs can not be invited to compromise is true. Benny, who had been starving from the afternoon, was determined to steal bread from a store. That's what ultimately led Benny to his death" Ray said.
"You killed Benny!" Sofia hits Sean's body repeatedly. But the man could only stop.
"I'm sorry, honey. I really didn't mean that. I'm just mad at Benny because he's the one who's blinded you like this."
"Killer! Get out of front of me!" shouted Sofia.
"Darling .. calm down." Sean tries to grab Sofia's body but she pushes Sean violently.
"Don't touch me! You murderer! Because of you, my Benny is dead!"
"I'm sorry, I did it because I love you so much" Sean said.
"I'm blind .. Benny died. Ha ha! Why am I living? I better catch up with him." Sofia fumbled at the table by her bedside. Finally, his hand found a glass. The glass was then smashed on the edge of the table until it broke in half.
"God. Baby, what do you want?"
"I'd rather die! There's no point in me living!"
"Respect! Don't be desperate!" jolt Sean.
Of course all the pairs of eyes that were in the room panicked to see Sofia's behavior. Especially when he began to bring the sharp and pointed glass shards closer to his own neck.
