"But ...." The doctor's facial expression began to change and now it looked sad.
"But-but? But what, Doc?"
So did Mr. Malik. His face, which had looked so happy, was now crumpled again. Suddenly he felt sure that something was wrong with his wife.
"Look, Mr. Malik. Mrs Arniz is currently in critical condition. Yes, indeed the two bullets lodged in his chest can be removed. However, the wound inflicted by the shot was too deep and resulted in very serious bleeding. We've tried our best and hopefully there's still a miracle for your wife. We can all pray for Mrs Arniz's recovery" the doctor said, staring at Mr. Malik, Arini and Saints in turn.
Mr. Malik can't say anything more. Again the man was hit again for the umpteenth time. He sat back in his place with both hands covering his face. His body trembled and both of the man's shoulders seemed to descend up and down.
While Arini and Saints could do nothing. They were also very sad, what else when they saw Mr. Malik who was destroyed like that. They hope Mrs Arniz can get through her critical period and get back to health as usual.
"Ehm, I'm sorry." The doctor said goodbye to Arini and Suci who were still silent in the room.
"All right, Doc."

The seconds change minutes and the minutes pass and then change to hours. Completed the bullet removal operation, Mrs Arniz is now placed in the ICU room, where her condition still requires close supervision from the medical team.
Mr. Malik who is still faithful waiting for the Wife, approached Arini and Suci who also have not returned since.
"Ehm, you better go home. I don't want to trouble you guys. Anyway I can take care of it myself here," said Mr. Malik.
Arini and Saints stared at each other for a while. Sacred nodded slowly, it seemed as if he agreed with Mr. Malik's opinion. After all, he was already sultry and wanted to immediately perform his bathing ritual.
"All right then, sir. But ...." Arini was silent for a moment. "Can I come back later?"
Mr. Malik nodded slowly. "Of course, as long as it doesn't bother you. I don't want to trouble anyone, including you," said Mr. Malik.
"It's not a hassle at all, sir. Because all this time Mrs Arniz I have considered like my own family," replied Arini.
After saying goodbye to the man, Arini and Suci went home. While Mr. Malik is still faithfully waiting at Sakir House, precisely next to Madame Arniz who is still unconscious.
"It looks like tonight I'm going to Sakir's house again, Ci," Arini told Suci on the way home.
"It's okay. Anyway, I'll be a minute, won't be long. It's just that it doesn't feel good if I don't see Mrs Arniz."
"Eh, Rin. I can't bear to see Mr. Malik. It feels like these tears will follow just see him sad like that," said Suci.
"Yes" answered Arini.
Upon arrival at her rented house, Arini immediately cleaned up and then took a break. So did Saints, the woman rushed to take a bath and changed her clothes.
Meanwhile somewhere else.
At a nightclub, where the lights are colorful, flickering along with the fast pitched music in the spacious room. The women in open clothes passed by in that place and not a few of them also danced, contorting along with the music being played by a reliable DJ.
Among the many visitors in the place, there is a table where there are two men who are drinking liquor while accompanied by several beautiful women.
The man was Angga and his best friend. The man who helped Angga to rob and Miss Arniz. Yes, the robbery was intentional and carefully prepared by the two men. For a long time they have been stalking Mrs Arniz's movements, but only yesterday they were able to launch the action.
Angga looked so happy because his heartache towards the woman was finally avenged. And he hopes that the woman will soon disappear from the face of the earth so that the action is not smelled by the authorities.
"Let's toast!" Angga raised his drinking glass up and was immediately responded by friends and women who were accompanying them.
"Trauss!"
"Tonight you must accompany me. We're gonna have fun because now I have a lot of money!" said Angga while showing the money from the robbery to the women of the night who are now beside him.
"Gee!" The women rounded their eyes after seeing the amount of money in Angga's pocket.
"Try to see this?" Angga showed Lady Arniz's diamond ring to the women. "Who wants to?"
"Me, Mom! Me!" the women answered with great enthusiasm.
"Eitz!" Angga pulled his hand back and kept the ring in its place. "The ring is not just a ring. Do you know what ring is? Diamond ring! Only certain people can have it! And if you want to have it, you have to satisfy me tonight" Angga said with a grin.
