Arriving at the emergency ward, Rosalina was busy praying for Alif who had an accident. She cried again and hoped Alif was in a stable condition. The tears flowed faster and faster. Only prayer was able to be done. She always thought positively about it now.
But Azmar's arrival surprised Rosalina, who was sitting in the chair available there. He arrived there with an anxious face.
"You.."
Azmar said he wanted to ask. Rosalina, with a wet face because of tears, quickly slapped Azmar's face. Her anger still hasn't subsided.
"How dare you come here? Don't you care about Alif anymore?"
His anger was still burning. His heart was disgusted to see Azmar's face again. At a time like this, Azmar came to visit. Azmar was shocked to feel Rosalina's rough slap before looking at Rosalina's sad face.
"The hospital called me. I have to come here to see him. Is it wrong?"
"You are no longer worthy of being Alif's father...Alif must have been very disappointed when he found out his father..had another woman all this time.."
Rosalina emphasized the topic of her anger. Azmar bowed down. His tongue was too numb to say anything.
"Now is not the time for us to fight. Please.."
Azmar begged. He also felt anxious at the sudden news about Alif. Tears flowed down his cheeks. His eyes stared at Azmar's eyes sharply.
"Who is the patient's family now?"
The doctor there asked. It looks like he just came out of the emergency ward room. Both of them quickly approached the doctor.
"How about my son?"
Rosalina asked anxiously. While Azmar was just waiting for the doctor's answer.
"Your son is in a coma now. He lacks blood in the head as a result of a strong impact. At the moment, he is in a critical condition. I hope you pray a lot for the patient's health."
Rosalina was shocked to hear Alif was in a coma. Azmar also felt the same.
"I'll go first."
Said the expert doctor before walking away. How disappointed Rosalina was to hear that. She quickly looked at Azmar with tears.
"Now..are you satisfied?! Are you satisfied now?! You must find it fun to hear Alif like that. You are disgusting!"
"Why do you say that? I'm his father. I can also feel what you feel. Can't you just forget all that?"
"Forget it? Does my heart hurt? Do you want to know what I'm feeling right now? I feel like spitting on you right now. Are you just going crazy with my property? Didn't you marry me because you love me?"
Rosalina brought up the old story again. Azmar was too confused to say anything more. He just listened.
"I want to ask you. Have you ever loved me even for a second? Never, right? Yes..that's the type of man like you. Marry because she has wealth. It's really unfortunate for me to marry you."
Rosalina's pained expression all this time was finally revealed. Azmar sighed.
"I don't want to see your face anymore. Get out of here. Or I will kill you."
It was clear on his face that she felt guilty. Then she looked towards Alif's wardroom.
"Alright. Maybe I'm cheating on you. But if Alif gets involved, I'll act the same way as you. Trust me.."
"Go...I said go!"
Azmar looked at Rosalina's face. She had to give in. She walked away, leaving Rosalina there. Rosalina felt lonely after Azmar walked away from there. Her tears flowed. But she calmly wiped her tears. It was enough for today that she felt hurt by Azmar's cheating. Again, his son.
But who would have thought, in Alif's condition, he was willing to come to visit? He is indeed closer to Rosalina because of his wealth, but he loves and cares about his son very much. His heart is still like a father's, but his actions are not right for his son. Will Azmar return to Rosalina and Alif one day?

Veronica was taken to Mama's ward room as instructed. After Suhaimi finished her duties, she immediately left the two of them. Now the discussion is just the two of them.
"I heard mom wants to see me?"
She said she was still pretending. She didn't know what would happen after that. Mama, with an angry face, just threw the information envelope to Veronica. The envelope fell to the floor.
"Look now."
Mama's tone started to change. Veronica bent her body down to reach the envelope. Then she saw the contents. Her eyes widened when she saw that all of them were details of hers. She quickly looked at Mama.
"What's all this?"
"Don't you understand? Or are you pretending not to understand? Is that how you behaved behind us all this time? You're really brave.."
Mama's tone was medium to high. Veronica's gaze was sharp at her. Now her calls and your calls are gone.
"So, Mama has been investigating me all this time? I don't think that's right."
"It is said that you come from a rich family from America. But.. you are embarrassed because you tried to deceive us about your family background. And you even faked your educational performance. Why did you do all that?!"
"If I confess..do you want to tell Hazre? Like that?"
"Yes. I have to tell him the truth about you! You are a shameless woman! You have the heart to be my daughter-in-law. You want to take my place. You are really funny."
Veronica was silent when hearing the insult. Her eyes trembled with fear. If Hazre found out about her secret, wouldn't Hazre file for divorce against her?
'If I don't shut this old woman up. I won't get that power..'
Hissing in his heart. She thought for a moment about how to do it so that Mama would not tell Hazre about it.
"Why..are you afraid? Are you afraid because you are guilty? It's true that from the beginning I knew this would happen. You didn't marry my son out of love but because you looked at his property...You are a useless son-in-law."
Listening to Mama's words again, she got angrier. His hands quickly tore all the details about her. She tore everything down to the floor.
"Mama remember.. I will give in. I won't divorce Hazre at all. I will still be with him.. and replace Mama completely.."
She didn't give in. She was sure of his feelings now. Hazre's position as chairman was what she was chasing.
"My son should be here to see your behaviour matter what happens..I will make sure you divorce my son! I will not forgive you for cheating on my son."
The resistance continued. Because of the devil's whisper to her heart, her hands began to quickly strangle Mama's neck as hard as she could. Her eyes were sharp like a raging fire. Mama's neck was strangled as hard as she could. Mama's hands gasped to prevent Veronica from doing so. The longer her breathing slowed down, the more her breath disappeared continually strangling Mama on the bed.
"I...won't..let you drop me so easily.."
She said while strangling Mama's neck. Not long after that, Mama's story disappeared just like that. Her body no longer moved. Veronica quickly released her hand from Mama's neck.
"Mama..mama wake up..mama.."
She felt anxious. Even though she tried to wake her up, Mama's body no longer moved. She even tried to hear Mama's breathing from his nose. No more breathing sounds were heard. She quickly closed his mouth in shock. Anxiety began to dominate her.
"I..I..killed Mama."
She said while looking at both of his hands. She was afraid to face the truth that she was a murderer. With mixed feelings, she ran away from there. Mama was left alone. Is it true that Mama's story ended because of Veronica? Or is Mama still able to survive and live for Hazre?
