The sound of car tires screeching as Erlangga stopped in front of the emergency room. Erlangga immediately called out to the male nurse who was ready beside the push-bed after he called after putting Andien in the back seat of his car.
"Hurry up and help me!"
Erlangga helped the nurse get Andien out and he continued to watch until Andien was placed on the bed and ready to go to the treatment room.
The nurse was already walking Andien in when Erlangga helped Keanu out of the car.
"What happened?"
Erlangga turned and saw Hanna Pratiwi walking over still wearing her white coat.
"Keanu found her unconscious on the beach. Hanna, how about you meet Keanu while I go in," Erlangga said to his fellow doctor.
"No problem," Hanna replied.
"Thank you. Ken, you see Aunt Hanna first, okay!"
"Okay."
After getting an answer from Keanu, Erlangga immediately walked quickly after the nurses who brought Andien.
After Erlangga was out of sight, Hanna got into the car and smiled to herself. Not only did Erlangga leave Keanu in the car alone, but he also didn't move his car from the front entrance of the emergency room.
"I don't know how he forgot about the car after you were with me," Hanna muttered to which Keanu responded with a chuckle.
"Even though papa likes to do whatever he wants, you still want to be my mama, right?" replied Keanu mischievously, making Hanna laugh.
Since Erlangga left his wife three years ago, Hanna has been the closest person to Erlangga and his son. Hanna's closeness was not only because she was Erlangga's colleague at the hospital but also because she was the sister-in-law who was entrusted with looking after her sister Ratih's husband and child.
"I want to go downstairs or find something fresh first. While we're still in the car," Hanna suggested to Keanu.
"Get off after we buy some ice cream," Keanu replied, making Hanna laugh again.
Hanna casually drove the car out of the hospital area and looked for an ice cream outlet as requested by Keanu.
"Do you like coming here, huh?" asked Keanu as soon as Hanna parked the car.
"I do. The ice here is really good and the place is spacious," Hanna replied as she reached out to help Keanu down.
Hanna was watching Keanu enjoying the ice cream when Hanna's cell phone rang.
"Papa's calling," Hanna told him without being asked.
"Hello," Hanna greeted.
"Hanna, I haven't had a chance to make a report to the police about the discovery of the woman. Can you do it after I give you a description of how she was when we found her?"
"Okay. You just tell me and I'll make the report. By the way we were at the ice cream stand if you didn't find Keanu and your car," Hanna replied while glancing at Keanu who was laughing amusedly.
"Oh. You guys came back immediately after eating ice cream, right?"
"Of course."
After hearing the answer from Hanna, Erlangga immediately gave the information that Hanna had to tell the police and Hanna immediately forwarded Erlangga's message after the man closed the conversation.
"We hope Dr. Erlangga will be willing to meet us to give a statement," said the police officer who received Hanna's report.
"Doctor Erlangga will definitely be willing after he finishes his work," Hanna replied calmly.
In the action room that was attached to the emergency room, Erlangga and his team had managed to remove the water in Andien's lungs. From the results of the examination Andien had not been unconscious for too long but all the wounds on her body made Erlangga frown.
"I'm not sure she can be confident with all the wounds on her face," Erlangga muttered.
Erlangga was still watching Andien's face when he saw the nurse walking towards the door with Andien's clothes.
"Nurse Erna, did you find any identification on the patient?" Erlangga asked.
"There are no identifying marks on these clothes, Doc," Erna replied hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" asked Erlangga as he caught the hesitation in Erna's voice.
"The clothes the patient is wearing are not ordinary clothes but a wedding dress. I think the patient is a bride who ran away from her wedding, Doc," Erna replied, making Erlangga laugh.
"You read too many novels. Maybe she had an accident while holding a wedding party on a cruise ship," Erlangga said in response to Erna's remark.
Erna laughed and continued her walk out of the room while Erlangga walked by Andien's side as he caught movement from a previously motionless body.
Erlangga watched Andien's eyelids move slowly before finally opening and Erlangga saw that the eyes were empty and not lifeless.
Erlangga waited for Andien to make a sound like most patients who had just woken up but Erlangga couldn't hear it because what happened was that Andien screamed and screamed, causing panic.
"Calm down, Miss. You're safe with us," Erlangga said, calming Andien who was moving wildly trying to remove the infusion needle that was still attached to her arm.
It took considerable time and energy to calm Andien down before Erlangga decided to give her a sedative.
"It looks like she was traumatized by the previous incident. Could it be that her husband has been the victim of a crime?" Erlangga asked softly.
Erlangga decided to have someone look after Andien and he gave orders to the nurse when Erlangga left the room because there were police who wanted to meet him.
"Good afternoon, Doctor Erlangga?" greeted one of the policemen to Erlangga.
"Good afternoon. I apologize for not being able to come to your office and report in person," Erlangga greeted kindly.
"We understand that as a doctor it is very important to save people's lives," said the policeman kindly.
"How about we talk in my office," Erlangga asked.
"Can I see the victim's condition first?" the policeman asked back.
"The patient is unconscious. I have instructed the nurse to inform me when the patient is conscious," Erlangga told the police, who agreed to receive an explanation from Erlangga in his office.
Nothing was covered up from the explanation Erlangga gave about Andien until the police asked who found her first.
"The first to discover was my 4-year-old son. I don't think you honorable gentlemen will ask for information from him," Erlangga said.
"We're just doing our job, Doctor," the police replied.
"True but he is not old enough. You can understand that," Erlangga replied firmly.
Erlangga was still explaining when a nurse told him that the patient had regained consciousness.
"Can we see him?" asked the policeman.
"Of course."
Erlangga took his guests to see Andien, who was now staring blankly at the nurse.
"Good afternoon. How are you?" Erlangga greeted Andien.
A faint shake of the head was seen as Andien looked at Erlangga and the two policemen who gasped.
"How did I get here?" Andien asked weakly.
"I found you unconscious on the beach. Do you know how you got stranded and unconscious?" asked Erlangga.
The shaking of heads was seen again as well as when the police asked Andien's identity. There was no answer that Andien could give until Andien again screamed hysterically, making Erlangga decide to bring the police out.
"Thank you for the report and information from the doctor. We will try to find out if there are any families who have lost their family members," the police said after they were out of the room.
The police had left and Erlangga returned to see Andien who was still screaming loudly. From the sound of her voice Erlangga could tell the scream that came out of Andien's mouth was not fear but deep anger.
"You guys go away. I'll handle it!" Erlangga ordered the nurse who was still looking after Andien.
"You know, anger doesn't always get you everything," Erlangga said after he was alone with Andien.
Erlangga continued to watch Andien, who chose to remain silent."You don't have amnesia. Why are you pretending?""Because I have a reason," Andien replied."A self-defeating reason. Do you know how you are now?"Andien shook her head and looked like she didn't care."You attempted suicide but you failed. What you got was a disfigured face," Erlangga explained.Andien gave Erlangga a hateful look."My plan wouldn't have failed if no one had brought me here," Andien said coldly."That's right. Unfortunately, the one who found you is a boy with a high level of care."Andien was silent but her eyes looked at Erlangga curiously."You said my face was damaged. How badly?"Erlangga smiled and thought that the patient he was dealing with was a woman who prioritized logic so Erlangga had no reason to delay giving an explanation.Erlangga watched the expression Andien showed as she watched her face through the mirror."How much does the doctor think you've changed after plastic surgery?" Andie
Inside the mansion in one of the rooms, Kenan was soaking in the super luxurious bathtub with a glass of drink in his hand. His eyes were closed as he savored the victory he had just won.Today several television news outlets have broadcast the arrest of Wisnu Wiratama in one of the hotel rooms. Not because of embezzlement of company money but drugs. Wisnu was not alone but with several comfort women.A satisfied smile made Kenan's face excited. He imagined the embarrassment of the Wiratama family and how his sharp-mouthed wife would deal with the media who would not stop harassing her until Kenan stopped her.For a long time Kenan enjoyed his alone time until he heard a ringing tone from the telephone set on top of the bathroom shelf."Kenan! Have you seen the news about Wisnu?"There was no opening greeting when Anjani's voice rang in Kenan's ears."I have and I'm very ashamed of it," Kenan replied."Kenan, I beg you to help Wisnu get out of police custody. He is your father-in-law
Doctor Erlangga's hands moved carefully over Andien's face. His eyes did not even blink when all the bandages covering Andien's face were removed."Beautiful and perfect," said Hanna who stood behind Erlangga."Looking at Andien's face now I can imagine what her face used to look like," Erlangga said to himself."Is Doctor Hanna telling the truth?" asked Andien stiffly."Of course. Although Doctor Erlangga is a plastic surgeon, the results will definitely not be as perfect as what I see now," praised Hanna.Andien looked at Erlangga who had been staring at her intensely. "How?""Hanna has answered your question, Andien. You don't need another surgery," Erlangga said, confirming Hanna's opinion."Thank you, but the doctor doesn't mind the payment method I gave, right?" Andien asked hesitantly."No, he didn't. It's all according to your wishes even though I told you that you didn't need to do it," Erlangga replied."What do you plan to do next?" asked Hanna after Andien sat on the chair
Andien trembled and chose to lean against the wall of her room once she was outside."What happened to Mama?" she asked herself.Andien hoped Kenan would come out soon so she could go back to see how Anjani was doing, but almost 15 minutes had passed and there was no sign that Kenan was coming out and neither was Hanna."What is Kenan doing inside? I hope Kenan isn't giving Hanna a hard time," muttered Andien as she closed her eyes."Tante Andien?"Hanna opened her eyes as she heard a child's voice calling her name and she smiled as she saw Keanu standing in front of her hesitantly."Uh, what are you doing here?" asked Andien as she knelt down in front of the boy."Did you forget that it's my birthday today and you promised to take me for ice cream?" asked Keanu in a reprimanding tone."Oh my god. You forgot. Why don't we wait for Aunt Hanna?"Keanu nodded. "Yes."Inside the infirmary Hanna was still trying to explain to Kenan that the man's order didn't apply as long as she put Anjan
Hanna looked at Andien like she was seeing her for the first time while the face in front of her was the face made by Erlangga, a renowned plastic surgeon.Hanna shook her head as she did not know Andien personally and her background."So you are Kenan's wife? How long have you known him?"Andien smiled. She wasn't a fool who couldn't catch Kenan and Hanna's gestures when talking in the treatment room earlier. As a doctor, Hanna wouldn't have spoken to Kenan like that especially since Kenan was a man of considerable influence."Not long compared to you," Andien replied, raising both of Hanna's eyebrows."Me? What does that have to do with me?""I don't know because the only one who can answer that is you," Andien replied carefully.Hanna smiled then shook her head. "I only got to know him when he forced me to handle Mrs. Anjani who he said was his closest confidante.""Really?"Hanna nodded then began to explain how she opposed Kenan's wishes to keep Anjani from being moved to a bette
Andien walked according to the directions given by the female employee she met for the first time. Andien's pair of black eyes scanned every side of the room without making anyone suspicious.Andien shook her head while inwardly complaining that she didn't really know Kenan that well.Andien stood waiting for the elevator doors to open when someone stood next to her. Andien glanced over and was surprised that the person standing was Alinda, a friend who had warned her about Kenan."What is Alinda doing?" Andien asked herself.Andien was still thinking about Alinda's presence in Kenan's company when the woman turned her head and looked at Andien with a furrowed brow."Have we met?" Alinda asked.Andien shook her head. "I don't think so."In silence they stepped into the elevator although Andien tried not to look at Alinda, her curiosity made her do it again until Alinda smiled coldly and stiffly."We've never met but your behavior makes me suspicious. Tell me what you want!"Andien too
Andien left Kenan's office with a million questions hanging unanswered. Andien didn't understand why Kenan insisted on persuading her to give up the small, unexposed company."What is Kenan hiding? Does the company have historical value?" Andien asked curiously.Andien immediately contacted Tom and tried to find out about the company, which was already half-owned."Why not? I don't believe that you have a sentimental nature, Andien. Don't even think that you regret buying their shares," Tom said in surprise."How could I possibly regret it? By the way, do you know of any shipping companies that are in trouble?" Andien asked, making Tom gasp."A shipping company or a shipyard?" asked Tom after his surprise wore off."The shipyard that went bankrupt," Andien replied confidently."How much money do you have?""Enough to take over a company that's no longer in production."Tom laughed because ever since he started working with Andien, she always gave him surprises that didn't make sense.
Alinda's statement disturbed Kenan's heart and mind so he fell silent while Alinda watched with interest."Have you found out how Andien is doing? Where is she now and why is she still hiding to see her parents suffer?" Alinda asked quietly.Alinda realized that bothering Kenan about Andien would make him remember Kenan's mistress."No, but I'm sure she'll come to see me. How can any child make their parents suffer," Kenan replied firmly."It's been a year, Kenan, and you didn't suspect that Andien was plotting to get back at you. I know Andien and she never lets anyone suffer for her let alone her parents," Alinda explained."You have made Wisnu lose his self-respect by exposing him in the national media. Andien can do anything even she can forget the heartache of your insults and betrayal," Alinda said again."Good. I wonder whether or not she deserves to stand in front of me. You must know that being my opponent requires extra energy," Kenan replied sharply."Are you waiting for he
