Like it or not, Sunny kept walking away from the hospital administration room. While heading to the payment counter, Sunny called Keanu again for help.
While living with Grandma Martha, Sunny did not hold any cash at all or only kept his Unlimited Card. It's all because Sunny enjoys earning money by working hard as an ordinary person, who earns money to eat today and works again to make ends meet tomorrow. He had never felt such satisfaction since he was born until he met Grandma Martha and Qira.
But when faced with a situation like this, Sunny feels regretful. Especially when Keanu, the only family number he saved and could ask for help, didn't pick up the call until Sunny stopped in line at the payment counter.
[The number you dialed cannot be contacted. Please wait a moment longer…]
The voice of the telephone operator was heard again in Sunny's ears and that made him even more upset.
'How is this? Keanu could not be reached. I also can't possibly make a call with a secret communication device in this crowded place, right? Gosh… I'm in trouble,' Sunny grumbled inwardly.
"Next!" The cashier's voice was heard but Sunny ignored it and continued to focus on calling Keanu.
"Next! Sir, do you want to pay the bill too? Hurry up, the payment counter is about to close!"
This time Sunny realized that the call was for him. He immediately went forward because no longer people were lining up in front of him.
"Yes, I will pay the bill for a patient named Mrs. Martha. But there is a little problem, I don't have cash and I left my debit card at home. Can you help me stamp the bill, Miss?"
Sunny's words didn't make sense. The cashier lady rolled her lazy eyes and glanced at the line of people behind Sunny.
"Move aside, sir. Let the others pay their bills if you can't pay yours now. Other people have interests too, not just you. So please move aside and don't waste everyone's time, it's very late and I'm going to close the payment counter. "
The cashier still spoke politely but firmly. It's true, it's not just Sunny who has an interest there.
"But if you don't give me a settlement stamp, my grandmother won't be transferred tonight, Miss. Please help a little just this once. After my grandmother arrives at the Garendra Healthy Center, I will pay off this bill," Sunny once again lowered his pride begging for money that small.
"That's impossible for me to do, sir. It's the same as if I violated procedures and I could be fired from my job. Then, if I do that, won't there be patients' families begging me like you?" the cashier lady told the truth.
"But I..."
"Next! Hey, you in the maroon jacket, come forward! There are still many people behind you!" The cashier called a man behind Sunny to come forward and indirectly ordered Sunny to ignore him. Sunny stepped away a few steps away.
"How much did that man have to pay, Miss?" the bespectacled man asked as he handed over some money to pay the bill.
"Eighteen million rupiahs but he couldn't pay, and instead made a fuss. I don't encounter people like that once or twice. People like him are not under my authority, the security officers will take him into custody later." Without looking at the man wearing glasses, the cashier spoke while doing her work.
"Please just use my card to pay the bill. It looks like he needs help," the man with glasses said again and made the cashier immediately look at him.
"Are you kidding me, sir? Eighteen million rupiahs is not a small number and you two don't know each other, right? Are you not aware of doing this?"
Of course, a surprised question was asked of the man with glasses because the man immediately handed his credit card.
"I think I still have enough money at eighteen million rupiahs. So please do it quickly because it looks like grandma's situation is very urgent." the man said again while watching Sunny who continued to fiddle with his cell phone.
"Okay, I hope you don't take the wrong step and your kindness will be repaid with more kindness. I will process the payment." the cashier agreed and continued her work.
After several minutes of waiting, the cashier gave two payment receipts. One belonged to Sunny and the other belonged to the man.
"Thank you, Miss." he said and turned to walk towards Sunny, "Sir, this is a receipt for payment of your hospital bill." he continued, approaching Sunny while handing over a payment receipt.
Sunny's eyes widened. He was shocked to hear the words of a man he didn't know at all, "Did you recognize the wrong person, bro?" Sunny asked, confused.
"I don't know you, I just wanted to help because I saw you were having trouble. Since earlier in the administration room, I saw you explaining the same problem, and I don't think it was just a lie."
"I happen to have money left over after making payments for my sister who will be released from the hospital."
The man's explanation made Sunny's breath seem to be released in relief. Some of his burden due to material limitations was lifted by the man's help.
Sunny hugged the helpful man while thanking him, "Thank you, sir. I am very lucky to have been helped by you. I will repay your kindness as soon as possible. Please give me your business card. I will contact you again after my grandmother's transfer is complete."
The man reached into his wallet and took out a crumpled business card from Sunny, "This is my business card, sir. Sorry because it's wrinkled and a little unclear."
"I don't mean to distrust you, but please return the money as soon as possible. The money was also a loan given by the office to help me, and initially, I was going to return it because I still had some leftovers, but now I have given it to you. I hope you are an honest person, sir."
Sunny smiled and stretched out his hand, "Thank you. I thought there were no more good people like you in this world."
"I'm Sunny, right now I don't have a wallet to show my identity card. But if you don't believe me, tomorrow morning come to the Garendra Group head office and look for a CEO there."
"If you meet him, just tell him what happened and say my name. He will help you many times over because of your kindness to me."
Sunny explained, "I'm going back to the administration room. When everything is finished, I will contact you as soon as possible, sir..."
"My name is Felix. I will wait to hear from you, and I hope your grandmother gets better soon." Sunny's sincere words and smile were in harmony.
Without answering and just giving a smile and a brief nod of the head, Sunny left there and checked into the administration room.
That same night, Sunny was finally able to take Grandma Martha and be transferred to Garendra Healthy Center for treatment. However, the problem doesn't stop there.
When Sunny arrived at the Emergency Room, Grandma Martha's treatment had to be delayed again before Sunny paid the patient admission deposit.
"Can't you guys make things easier? I just want to deal with my grandmother here!" Sunny is furious. He had had enough of being insulted in other people's hospitals, but even in his hospital he still had to suffer more insults.
"I don't want to disturb your service to the patients here. I also don't want to fire everyone because the procedures here are like this. But please!"
"I even asked you guys for help, even though I am the owner of this hospital!"
Sunny couldn't waste any more time. He must reveal his identity as the owner of the Garendra Healthy Center.
