It might take days instead of hours. No one can guarantee how long a transaction will take to get a confirmation but your transaction fee of approximately 1.8 satoshi per byte is very, very, low compared to the recommended fee of 40-60 satoshi per byte. I've seen transactions with double your fee not getting confirmed at all

That's very scary .. u scared the shit out of me .. u mean, it will just remain uncomfirmed ?

Sorry. I mean that it will might stay unconfirmed for days and gets dropped from the mempool. The bitcoins will be returned to the sender's wallet and they can send another transaction with higher fee
The time it takes for most nodes to drop your transaction is 48-72 hours provided that no one rebroadcasts the transaction every now and then

Edit: Corrections.

Am afraid that my friend who is newbie sent the uncomfirmed amount i've sent to him in the 1st place -_-
