Will there be a happy ending

After packing her luggage and taking a cold shower, Hidayah proceeds down to the reception and asked to be checked out. After everything was done, she also handed an envelope to be given to Nazreen in room 2819.

The lady at the reception accepted the envelope and keep it aside.

Hidayah then walked towards the sitting area in the lobby to wait for her ride. She still has 5 minutes to spare from the 45 minutes promised by Uncle Jonathan.

She took out her phone and opened her messages. She then clicked on Uncle Jonathan's name and typed: Sorry for shouting at you earlier. I didn't mean to…

After sending the text, she off her phone again. After about 3 minutes of waiting, a man in a black suit approached her. "Miss Loh, I'm here to send you to the airport."

Hidayah looked at the man and nodded her head. She then stood up from her seat and walked towards the hotel entrance where a black Audi RS 5 Coupe was waiting.

The man in black quickly rushed to open the rear door for her and then hurriedly put her luggage in the trunk.

With a straight face, Hidayah looked out the window while the car moved towards City K's Private Jet Terminal. To be honest, Hidayah knows that getting proper documents and arrangements for her flight home done in an hour was tremendously efficient of the family's men. But every second longer in City K was slowly killing her.

The incident that night was not only a humiliation to her, but was akin to an attempt on her life. What is there for her if she could not even protect herself? What right does she have to take over the family's power and prestige if she herself could not protect her dignity?

"Erika… have you heard anything from Hidayah? I can't reach her. I am also unable to see her at the hospital…" Hidayat called Erika for help when he could not find Hidayah at the hospital.

"Well… you didn't let me finish what I wanted to tell you earlier… So… Do you want to hear it now?" Erika sneered while she lay on her sofa in the living room answering his call. She knew he would call her after arriving at the hospital.

"Well??? Are you going to wait for me to become an old man before you tell me???" Hidayat quipped.

"She should still be on her way back from City K. She told me to meet in in 3 hours. So we still have another 2 hours before she arrives at the hospital." Erika elucidated.

Hearing Erika's explanation, Hidayat gave out a big sigh. He thought Hidayah was in danger since he had been feeling uneasy after Erika's call earlier. With Hidayah not answering her phone, it made him more distressed.

Truth be told, it's usually him who made Hidayah worried and not the other way round… now, all he could do was wait for his elder sister's arrival to give himself assurance.

Since there's still a long wait before the time agreed upon, Hidayat decided to wait at the Starbucks outlet at the hospital.

Erika also arrived at the hospital an hour later, accompanying the man.
