(Not) Forbidden Love

22. Hospitalized

"Bell, Bella." Megan, whose face was covered in blood, tried to call her sister's name, after which her eyes could no longer open and Megan fainted.

Onlookers immediately helped Megan and Bella, one of whom contacted the ambulance, while the other tried to get the victim pinned in the car.

After a few minutes, there was a siren that indicated that the ambulance had arrived, after the ambulance stopped right next to Megan's car, the medics immediately lifted the bodies of Megan and Bella into an ambulance assisted by several residents.

"What?" Lucia was completely shocked to find the news informed by the hospital, her heart seemed to stop beating, the worry she felt earlier became a reality.

"What's the matter ma?" Barnest was made to panic when he saw his wife fall after receiving a phone call, and his phone was no longer able to hold until he fell on the floor.

"Pa, our child" said Lucia stammered, unable to feel her lips to speak.

"Yes, what's wrong with our son?" Barnest tried to calm his wife down, even though he was not calm himself.

"Our son was in an accident," after saying that, Lucia cried out. Satisfied with crying, she asks her husband to the hospital where Bella and Megan are being treated.

Until the hospital, Lucia again hysterical after knowing the condition of her son who is still in the operating room. It felt like he could no longer stand up, and finally collapsed again, lucky Barnest quickly caught him, then sat his wife on the waiting bench.

"Ma prayed, don't cry, it won't change anything" Barnest said, calming his wife by rubbing her shoulder. "But a mother's do'a can change destiny, so pray more!"

The sound of the open door diverted the two of them, gazing at the door, and a doctor came out of the room.

"Af Mr. Barnest, your daughter will be treated further, she must be operated on immediately, because of bleeding in the head" explained the doctor named Smith, he was a friend of Barnest's school days.

"Do the doctor immediately." Barnest tried to stay calm, but not with his wife.

"Again, ma'af Mr. Barnest, we lack a blood supply, so the operation must be postponed for another hour at most, I ask Mr. Barnest to immediately find a donor, so that your daughter's life can be helped. And Bella's blood type is AB, you know that? cause your two daughters are gonna." After saying that, the doctor returned to the operating room.

"Pa, how's this? where are we going to find a donor so soon?" Lucia can no longer think clearly. They had guessed that Bella's blood type was not the same as the two of them, Barnest had blood type O, while Lucia A. That means both of their blood can't be donated to Bella.

"Don't worry" Someone surprised Barnest and Lucia. "I'll help you, my blood type AB, I'll donate it to your child" he said with a smile.

Barnest and Lucia looked at the woman sitting in the wheelchair, next to him stood a burly man, like it was his bodyguard.

"Thank you madam" Lucia was truly grateful, amidst her misfortune and panic, came someone who would help her.

"Yes, I'll donate my blood to your son, but I have a condition."

Lucia looked at Barnest, whose husband was also looking at her.

"What's the condition?" Ask them both.

"Later after donating, I will convey the conditions, did not the doctor say, the operation will be done soon?"

Hearing that, Barnest and Lucia were slightly suspicious. "Don't think bad, I won't ask for your treasure, I just want to ask you for help later."

Barnest and Lucia were a little relieved to hear it, and also felt curious, what kind of help he would ask them.

"Well, make the donation immediately," Barnest could not think anymore, he was just worried about the safety of his son.

In the end, the woman in the wheelchair, who was none other than Tamara, Bella's birth mother was brought to a special room for donors who wanted to donate her blood.

"Papa doesn't know ma either, the most important thing now is the safety of our daughter." They no longer discuss the requirements given by Tamara. They just focus on praying so that the operation is smooth and Bella soon awake.

After waiting for about three hours, the door opened again, and the doctor was seen coming out of the room.

"Alhamdulillaah operation went well" said the doctor who turned out to be Muslim.

Barnest and Lucia felt very happy and expressed their gratitude, because the operation went smoothly.

"But the patient is still unconscious, there is no need to worry, because he has escaped from his critical period. Please come in, but take turns."

"Good doctor."

"Just be first, pa!"

"Yes ma."

Lucia entered the operating room, after being sterilized, and dressed in special clothes, then the nurse directed her to where Bella lay.

His heart was so sliced to see so many tools attached to his body, instantly his tears could no longer be weathered.

"Bella, dear mama, you are strong huh naak! quickly recovered! sleep not long dear" Lucia clasped her daughter's hand, with tears flowing.

Not so long ago, the nurse reminded that it should not be too long in the room. With a heavy heart, Lucia kissed the princess's forehead wrapped in bandages, then came out and left her child with the nun.

"Pa's." Lucia cried again after being outside, quickly hugging Barnest and then leading her to sit back.

"Better mama rest first! mama looks so pale, mama can rest in Bella's hospital room, there's a family room."

"But what about our son? mama doesn't want to leave him."

"And there's sister ma, Bella ngak alone kog" Barnest continues to persuade Lucia to want to rest.

"Alright," because she felt her body was weak, and needed rest, Lucia obeyed her husband's orders.

***

Someone was devastated, he was crying hysterically in the morgue. Trying to wake up a dead body.

"Sister, get up! don't stay in Bella, I promise you won't be Bella," Bella roared and shook her cold, stiff body.

"Ma, pa, wake up, sister Megan! why are you quiet? brother let's get up, brother promised to make Bella a good boy, let's get up!" She kept crying and shaking Megan's body.

"Dear boy, don't be like that! pity your sister, let her calm down in nature there, don't mourn her like that. He'll be sad if you're like this, son!" Barnest rubbed Bella's back to calm her down.

"Sir Megan, don't stayin' Bella, Megan's sister, Bella's sister." He again cried out hysterically after previously being a little calm.

"Nor...."
