Rachel hurriedly left the Carter Oil Company building, forgetting to ask Sundari her boss for permission. She was very worried about Muria.
Meanwhile, Veron meets Sundari, knowing that the woman leads the cleaning services at the Carter Oil Company. Veron also brought the bucket that Rachel had left behind.
"Good grief!" Sundari was surprised to see Veron come to the cleaning service room with a bucket. She rushed to greet Veron. At the Carter Oil Company, Veron is Keith's hand. All Directors and staff respect Veron. "Mr. Veron," she greeted Veron kindly, "What's going on here? You can ask Mbak Astari to call me if there is anything Mr. Keith needs."
Some of the cleaning service staff who were with Sundari immediately stood up and left the room. They felt that Veron wanted to speak privately to Sundari.
"Hehehe." Veron chuckled lightly at Sundari's attitude, "Can Mrs. Sundari collect all the cleaning services that you care for here?"
"Gathering them? What's wrong sir? Did any of them do anything bad to Mr. Keith, or did any of them work sloppily in this office?"
"You have done what I asked you to do now." Veron did not answer all of Sundari's questions. He was sitting in one of the chairs here. The bucket was placed on the table in front of him.
Sundari let out a short breath, and her heart became anxious because Veron asked all the cleaning service staff to be gathered. Then Veron also brought a bucket belonging to the cleaning service division and Office Boy. But Sundari was reluctant to urge Veron to say why he was there and told him to do all the things earlier. She immediately did what Veron asked her to do.
Meanwhile on the seventh floor, in the largest and most luxurious room, Keith was not concentrating on his work. For some reason, ever since he met Rachel, he kept thinking about Rachel. He wondered why Rachel was crying.
He just felt this way. During this time he met many women, many of them he slept with. But none of that made him feel the way he did for Rachel right now.
Jack, who was with Keith, felt strange seeing Keith not concentrating on his work. Usually, when Keith sits in his work chair, Keith is focused on work.
Keith slapped his back against the back of the chair, then let out a shaky breath.
"Where's Veron? It took too long!" he dumbfounded Veron who hadn't come back to him yet to report on who Rachel was.
While on the road, Rachel catches a cold. The online motorcycle taxi she was riding broke down, wanted to order another fleet, her internet credit ran out too. She felt really bad at the moment. Her mind became more and more chaotic, even to the point of expecting something worse to happen to Muria.
Rachel immediately checked the contents of her wallet, only to find that there were only twenty thousand and five thousand notes left. The refund for the online motorcycle taxi payment earlier.
"Good grief!" she sighed, "I can't use this taxi," she complained because his money didn't allow her to hire a taxi that was slithering on the highway in front of her right now standing on the sidewalk. She complained that she realized that if she took the bus, it would take quite a while to get to the hospital where Muria is currently located.
Then slowly a Bajaj approached her and stopped in front of her. The Bajaj driver shouted at Rachel in a slightly louder voice, because the Bajaj's engine roared, plus the roar of the vehicle's engine slivering down the road.
"Miss! Miss!"
Rachel heard this, turning her gaze to the driver.
"Miss, do you need to take a Bajaj?" ask the Bajaj driver offering his Bajaj services to Rachel
Rachel looked at the driver suspiciously.
"Miss calm down," chuckled the Bajaj driver as if he caught Rachel's suspicion that he would do something bad to Rachel, "I'm a real Bajaj driver. I'm still looking for someone I need to take with my Bajaj."
Rachel sighed, then, "How much will it cost you to get to Sentosa Hospital on Jl, Anyelir Raya 22?" she was asked how much the service fee was to take her to his current destination hospital.
"Twenty thousand dollars, Miss."
Rachel sighed, 'It's twenty thousand. Well never mind when I get to the hospital, I withdraw cash at the ATM, forced to take my food money this week.'
"How's it going, Miss?" the Bajaj driver spoke to Rachel again.
"Okay, Bang, I ask to be taken there using this Bajaj."
"Okay!"
Meanwhile at Carter Oil Company, in the cleaning service division, all the cleaning service staff and office boys lined up neatly. Veron then approached one by one while being watched, looking for Rachel among the people.
'Strange,' his heart whispered, 'Why isn't that girl among these staff?' for not finding Rachel among the staff.
Sundari saw Veron looking for someone among the staff, and dared to reprimand Veron.
"Mr. Veron, sorry, who are you looking for?"
"I don't know who she is yet, Mrs."
"Huh?"
"She's a beautiful woman with a mulatto profile from Indonesia and a foreign country," Veron finally said his goal was to ask Sundari to gather all these staff, "Her hair is long, curly, dark brown, and in a ponytail." he said briefly explaining Rachel's figure, "I met her in front of the director's elevator door on the seventh floor. She brought a bucket filled with chamois and a bottle of cleaning fluid. Looks like it's about to clean the Directors' elevator. But suddenly she left, forgetting the bucket."
Sundari and all the staff immediately thought about Veron's statement, remembering whether there was a figure like the one Veron described. Then one of the staff raised one hand up, and politely rebuked Veron,
"Sorry Mr Veron!" exclaimed the staff, "Is that person you mean Rachel?"
"Rachel?" Veron looked at the staff. "The name of the girl I'm looking for is Rachel?"
"Yes sir. She is the only staff member in this division whose face is white in Indonesia. And indeed, she was told by Ms. Vega to clean the elevator for the Board of Directors on the seventh floor to replace Aning, who asked permission to go to the hospital today because her asthma had relapsed." the staff said to Veron, and pointed to a bouncy woman Sundari's age who was 35 years old.
"You are right, Sugeng!" said Vega the woman confirmed the staff's statement to Veron, "I did ask Rachel to do the Aning assignment." she said remembering that she had told Rachel to do Aning's job.
"I see." Veron understood now, "Then where is Rachel now? Why aren't any of you there?"
Sundari and all the staff looked at each other, no one knew where Rachel was. Then they looked at Veron in unison, shaking their heads slowly, meaning we don't know where Rachel is right now.
Veron sighed, Sundari rebuked him,
"Miss, try calling the cellphone. Let me know where she is, and why not join us here."
"Okay sir." Sundari understood, she immediately called Rachel's cellphone, "Hello Acha!" she's connected to Rachel's cell phone.
"Yes, Miss Sundari?" Rachel arrived at Sentosa hospital, rushed to pay Bajaj, then half-ran into the hospital building.
"Where are you now? Why aren't you in the office?"
JLEB.
Rachel flinched at this, stopped running, and then her face lit up,
'Good grief!" she sighed, 'I forgot to ask Mrs. Sundari's permission to go to the hospital! Woe to me!' she realized he left the Carter Oil Company without Sundari's permission.
"Acha!"
"Sorry Miss, I was playing away at work," Rachel complained wryly, "My grandpa passed out and is in the hospital. Even my grandpa had to have a second ring on his heart operated on."
"Oh my gosh!" Sundari sighed lightly stroking his chest, "This is the third time you've gone to work without asking me for permission!" Rachel scolded, "Well, you meet your grandfather, and go back to the office. Find me!" she said annoyed, then ended the call, "This kid wants to work or not?" dumbfounded, unaware that Veron was nearby.
"Mrs. Sundari!" Veron rebuked Sundari, "What's wrong?"
"Oh sorry, Mr. Veron!" Sundari realized that Rachel was dumbfounded in front of Veron, "Acha is not in the office because her grandfather is in the hospital again."
"Acha?"
"I mean, Rachel. Acha, that's her nickname."
"I see." Veron understood, "Yes, let them all disperse, then you come to my room now!"
Returning to Rachel, she looked out of the ER, rushing to the evacuation stairs that were next to the ER, up the stairs half running. She has received information from the emergency room officer that Muria has been transferred to the ICU. Pak Sukro paid an advance for Muria's hospitalization in the ICU.
Even though Pak Sukro did not give Rachel a government-subsidized medical card, he could not bear to see Rachel working hard for Muria. He and his wife agreed to help Rachel as best they could, just like this time. They never asked Rachel to return the favor.
Rachel finally arrived at the 4th floor, where the ICU room was. This hospital is where Muria received regular treatment when Emily was alive. The cost of treatment here is quite expensive, but the medical treatment for patients is very good.
"Bu Sukro!" Rachel saw Bu Sukro sitting in a waiting chair not far from the ICU. She immediately ran to the woman who saw her, and his husband stood waiting for her. "Bu Sukro! Pak Sukro!" Rachel also arrived in front of these two people who were RT in the area where Rachel lived. "Sorry for bothering you again."
Mrs. Sukro smiled hearing this, gently stroked Rachel's face,
"Don't keep saying that," she said sincerely, "Hurry up and find your grandfather. He keeps asking where you are," she told Rachel to immediately meet Muria in the ICU.
Rachel nodded her head, and immediately entered the ICU. First met by the nurse on duty, then wearing the ICU uniform given by the nurse on duty, then approached Muria accompanied by the nurse.
The nurse in charge woke Muria up,
"Mr. Muria. Sir! This is Acha, your granddaughter has come." was told that Rachel had arrived.
Muria's eyes slowly opened, then he looked for Rachel's only granddaughter whom he loved very much. Rachel immediately went to Muria's side, being grasped by Muria's right hand. The nurse in charge stepped aside, allowing the grandfather and granddaughter to speak for a moment.
"Grandpa, this is Acha."
"Yes, kid." Muria said slowly with a relieved smile, "Acha, I'm sorry."
"For what, grandpa?"
"Grandpa continues to trouble you. Just like grandpa had troubled your mother in the past."
"Hais grandpa don't talk like that." Rachel smiled in amusement hearing Muria says sorry to trouble Rachel. Muria always said those words. "Acha, grandpa's granddaughter. Where is Acha feeling that Grandpa is troubling Acha?"
Muria smiled upon hearing this. He was lucky that Rachel was as kind-hearted as Emily. Gently caressed Rachel's face.
"Thanks, Acha."
Rachel nodded her head, "Now, Grandpa, take a break. Acha first takes care of grandfather's inpatient administration."
"Acha, grandpa just wants to go home."
"You can't, grandpa. Grandpa calms down. I'll take care of everything."

"What did you say?!" Keith looked at Veron who finally came with a report about Rachel, "That girl is in the hospital because her grandfather passed away?" he jumped up from his chair.
"Yes Young Master." said Veron, "That's information from Mrs. Sundari that I ordered to call Miss Rachel because I did not find Miss Rachel among the cleaning service staff and office boy."
Keith was taken aback by this, sat back down, and propped up on his back. He had a feeling that Rachel was crying because Muria was passes. He squeezed one hand, a sad look on his face as if he shared Rachel's sadness.
"Young master." Veron rebuked Keith, "You still want to hear information about Miss Rachel?"
"Veron," Keith didn't answer, "Try to find out where her grandfather is being cared for. Completely investigate her grandfather's illness, and whether the administration has been completed."
"What is all that for, Young Master?"
