2. Chronology of Melisha's Death

Previously, Mounstar Sidabutar revealed the chronology of her daughter's death. "So, here's the thing, she didn't actually have a heart condition. Initially, she was weak, so we stayed at home because of the fear of Covid-19. After that, we took her to the hospital because her breathing was not good, and we did an X-ray. After the X-ray, there was something wrong with her valve," she explained. She continued, "According to the doctor, there was a slight enlargement in the valve. Since there was no cardiologist at that hospital, we took her home first. We planned to go to Mitra Keluarga hospital, but before that, we wanted to pray together and have a meal with her." "Well, after she excused herself to go to the bathroom for a moment, her mother accompanied her. I took her there because she was a bit weak. After coming out of the bathroom, she was already very weak. That was when God called her, she had reached her destination," she concluded.
