Husna and Alvino were anxiously waiting outside the ICU.
Husna immediately contacted Alvino as soon as she learned Helena had fainted with red liquid coming out of her nose.
It's been 1 hour, but there's no sign the doctor will be out of the ICU room.
"Mas, why was that doctor so long ago?"
"Calm down."
Shortly after, doctors came out of the ICU room and made Husna and Alvino able to breathe with relief.
"Family patient?" ask doctor.
"Yes, we are a family of patients" Alvino said.
"Let's come with me to my room. There's something I want to talk about the disease the patient is suffering from."
Alvino looked towards Husna.
"Follow it, I'll accompany Helena. Maybe after this he'll wake up."
"All right."
Alvino followed the footsteps of the doctor, while Husna followed the footsteps of the nurse who took Helena to the ward.
In the doctor's office...
"Do you know how long the patient has had this pain?" ask the doctor who started to open his voice after Alvino sat in the chair in front of his desk.
"I don't know for sure when this disease started attacking my wife, I only know the last few months."
"Is there a problem with the disease?" ask Alvino.
"Cancer is a disease due to abnormal growth of body tissue cells that turn into cancer cells. Carcinoma is a cancer that originates from the epithelial cells of the inner and outer walls of the nasopharynx. The nasopharynx is the upper part of the throat that is located in the later part of the nose." Say the doctor while opening the map on his right.
"The "nasopharynx is shaped like a hollow box and is located in the soft part of the roof of the mouth, located behind the nose. According to the American Cancer Society, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (KNF) is a malignant tumor that most often grows in the nasopharyngeal area."
"I recently learned that nasopharyngeal cancer suffered by my wife is still in stage 0."
"Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Alvino. But I think the cancer that is currently attacking your wife is no longer in stage 0."
"What do you mean?"
"We need your permission to examine the disease that is now being suffered by your wife."
"Observation?"
"Yes, to determine the stage of nasopharyngeal cancer."
"Can you explain in detail?"
"The process to establish the diagnosis of patients suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer can be done in 3 ways, namely anamnesis and physical examination, supporting examinations and biopsies. There is a benchmark for the examiner to be suspicious of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, including any tumor in the neck that is located under the mastoid and in later mandibular angulus possibly nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and there are symptoms of a complete nose, eyes, ears and nerves."
"Other than that, though, the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be continued by conducting several investigations such as CT Scan of the head and neck to see the primary tumor is hidden and IgA serological examination for Epstein-Barr virus infection. The last step that can be done to establish the diagnosis is through the action of biopsy by taking a sample of the lump in the nasopharynx for further examination under a microscope."

"Alright, do whatever it takes to quickly find out the illness my wife is suffering from."
After signing the examination approval letter, Alvino exited the doctor's office and headed straight for Helena's ward.
"Husha..."
"Mass?"
"How's Helena doing?"
"It's still unconscious. What's the doctor saying about Helena?" ask Husna.
"Doctors diagnose if Helena's cancer is no longer stage 0."
"What?" Husna was surprised as she looked towards Helena who was still unconscious.
"Then how?"
"The doctor will return to check on Helena. I've signed the consent papers, the doctor will immediately conduct an examination of Helena."

Somewhere else...
"Selfia, we'd better get back to our country soon." Ernesto said as he closed the door.
"We won't get anything, Helena's already telling the truth to her husband."
"I also get information that if Helena gets into the hospital, she's very critical and it's not possible for me to keep pushing her down and giving us money."
"Ernesto, if we go back without money. We will not be accepted by the family. Then where are we gonna live?"
"We must persuade your parents to allow us to stay. My parents didn't allow us to stay. They are in a period of healing after losing all their wealth."
"Ernesto..."
"Selvia, we have no other choice. Except..."
"No. No. gabe. No, and no," said Selvia, who knew the direction of Ernesto's conversation.
Ernesto approached Selvia and held her hand.
"We can have another child. What is the difficulty of giving our first child to someone who is willing to secure our life?"
Selvia could not hold back her tears..
Their departure from the land of birth, because there were rich merchants who were eager to have children, they promised a luxurious life if Ernesto would give their baby.
Ernesto chose to leave so that the man would not constantly terrorize Ernesto and Selvia into giving them their baby.
Ernesto went to Helena's parents and said they could take back the factory that had been confiscated, the second article Helena's parents gave some money.
Because both of Helena's parents couldn't give Ernesto any money. That is what makes the determination of the two more unanimous to leave their country.
Unfortunately, everything Ernesto expected could not happen.
"I'll take care of our return ticket soon."
After making sure Ernesto left, Selvia took her bag and she went to the hospital where Helena was.
It is easy to find where Helena's room is, because Selvia is known to be the complete identity of Helena.
Helena had just regained consciousness when Selvia entered her room.
"Selvia?" Helena was surprised, of course, because when she opened her eyes she saw Selvia.
"Helena, what should you give me immediately."
"What?"
"Give me money, or I'll get rid of you right now."
"Selvia, what do you mean?"
Selvia saw some jewelry being used by Helena. Without a second thought, Selvia immediately forcibly took the jewelry and left.
Brak. !!
Selvia collides with Husna who is about to enter Helena's room.
"Husna, please stop him, ' cried Helena.
"Sorry, who are you?" ask Husna to Selvia.
"It's none of your business, move away."
Selvia pushed Husna, until she fell.
"Hey, you." Alvino who saw if Husna was driven by someone unknown. Immediately ran and stopped Selvia.
"Take me off." Selvia attempted to rebel, but Alvino's grip was strong.
Alvino then forces Selvia to tell him the reason why she came and went into Helena's room and pushed Husna.
"Listen, you better ask Helena" Selvia said.
"Never commit blame to others, if you do not want to lose for your actions." Alvino.
"Selvia?"
