BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Strengthening Daniel

"Ta, today I'm taking Dean and Livy to Mama's house, yeah. I think what you're saying is true, for a while they'd better stay with Mama."

Prita was stunned to hear Ayash's words. It was the same that Ayash had considered him unable to take care of the children anymore. In fact, he had tried his best to take care of Dean and Livy in addition to taking care of Daniel who was sick.

Every day he spends little time sleeping just to stay close to the kids. Although not as intelligent as the proximity, Prita has tried to divide his time. It hurt when he heard the statement coming out of Ayash's mouth.

"I can still take care of them myself."

"I knew. But Daniel needs your attention for 24 hours. Do you want Daniel to heal quickly? Please, don't be selfish."

"Can you separate the children from me?"

"I'm not doing this because I'm supporting Mama. I really did it for Daniel. There's no better decision than this."

"Daniel will undergo chemotherapy from now on. There are many drugs that are put into his body to kill cancer cells. As the doctor once said, he should not meet with many people because it could be that other people are affected by the drugs that Daniel consumed. Especially a little kid. You want all our kids to get sick?"

Prita. Although heavy but finally Prita according. Ayash takes his two children away with Leta and Pak Agus. Meanwhile, he took Daniel for a walk around the hospital garden area. He said Daniel was bored in the hospital room.

Daniel's head has now been bald due to chemotherapy that several times he lived. Prita put a hat to cover. Daniel was always sad to see his bald head in the mirror.

"Mama.... When can I go to school again?"

"Fastly, Honey. If you're cured, you can go to school again."

"Mama.... Why do I have to be the one who's sick?"

"Because God knows, Daniel was a strong boy. Maybe if another kid got sick, he wouldn't be as strong as Daniel."

"One of my friends never went to chemo again, Mama. Name's Isabela. The nurse said she was dead. Will I die too?"

Prita sighed. Why does his son talk about death? He himself could not bear it until Daniel exalted him forever.

"As my mom said. Daniel the chosen son of God, Daniel the strong son. So, Daniel's gonna be cured."

"Why won't the disease go away, Ma? Daniel's tired of being injected every day."

"Yes, Honey. This disease is a little stubborn. So Daniel had to be stronger so that his illness could be lost."

Since chemotherapy, Daniel's condition has improved. He looks more energetic than usual. However, the effects of chemotherapy often make Prita sad. Seeing Daniel always nauseous and vomiting and bone pain made him not have the heart. This made Daniel lose his hair.

At least Daniel can now walk in the hospital area. The mask never escaped from his mouth to avoid the entry of germs of other diseases. Because after chemotherapy, his body's endurance is weakened and susceptible to disease.

"Daniel's.... "

As usual, the lady came back to visit. He doesn't come to the hospital every day. But, at least 3-4 times a week he must have come to bring a toy that Daniel asked for. Prita was used to seeing his presence there. Ayash also no longer bothered about Bayu. Their focus really wants to see Daniel get well.

Daniel immediately gave a warm hug to his father. Prita to wonder, somehow the child can be close to Bayu. Daniel seems to like it. Daniel is not the kind of kid who gets close to other people. Does he also understand the meaning of the real father and father connect?

"Daddy, why didn't yesterday come?" Daniel's Protest. Three days in a row Bayu did not visit her in the hospital.

"Sorry, yeah. Daddy's got a lot of business in the office."

"Yesterday Daniel injected his back. It hurts so much."

"Is it still sick?"

Daniel nodded. Bayu rubbed the boy's head.

"Ah, yes. Daddy brought a toy for you."

Daniel was amazed to see a toy box dominated by dark blue images of the planets and seemed to be able to light up.

"Daddy, is this a puzzle?"

"This is called the Sky Night Projector. If turned on can appear pictures of planets on the walls and ceiling of the room. Later in the night you can try to turn it on, yeah."

"It's better when you look at night. It's still daylight."

"But I want a toy."

"If you want to play now, Daddy also brought toys to assemble this truck."

"Well, this is good."

Daniel's eyes sparkled at the toy in front of him. A set of toy unloading plug shape truck. He immediately asked Bayu to help him open the toys. After the cardboard opened, Daniel started playing it.

"Is he okay if it's too long outside like this?" ask Bayu.

Prita who had been daydreaming immediately realized, "Ah, no. He just got me out."

"Have you eaten? Why is your face so pale?"

"Later on."

Bayu took out the two food towns he had just bought from the restaurant. One of the boxes he gave to Prita.

"The company I eat." his tone was a little pushy.

Prita was surprised that Bayu suddenly gave him a lunch box containing Japanese bento food consisting of Gyutan (Grilled Beef Tongue), Grilled Chicken Teriyaki, Yasai Tame (Steamed Vegetables), and others, the Japanese Steamed Rice. Just seeing the look has been appetizing. Moreover, seeing Bayu who seemed to really enjoy the food, making Prita also tempted to taste. He is very weak when it comes to Japanese cuisine.

Prita started feeding her food into her mouth. Although the days were sad because Daniel was sick, but it cannot be denied if the taste of food that touched his tongue tasted good. Every mouthful that went into his mouth felt extremely precious.

Bayu glanced at Prita. She was glad her food was well received. Bayu did deliberately stop by the restaurant because who knows Prita has not eaten because he was busy taking care of Daniel. It turns out, the woman had not had time to eat. Both Prita and Daniel looked thinner day after day.

"What about the results of her spinal cord test? Is there anything suitable for Daniel?"

Bayu has been checking his bone marrow to be matched with Daniel. He wanted to know the outcome of whether his own was a match or not.

Prita. "Nothing is suitable."

"My mountain too?"

Prita nodded.

Bayu was a bit in disbelief if his bone marrow did not match. He was Daniel's real father, their blood type was the same, his supposed property was suitable for Daniel.

"Why can't it fit? I'm his father."

"Doctors say, bone marrow compatibility will be greater between siblings, than between parents and children. The ratio of success is 25% between siblings and bone marrow compatibility between parents and children is only about 0.5% percent."

"Oh, Oh my God. Why is it like that." muttered Bayu. Though before he was very yakit his will match Daniel. Daniel is very similar to him. His expectations were wrong.

"Then what about you or the others?"

Prita shakes her head back. There have been many people closest to him who he asked to do the test, but nothing suitable.

"What about Livy or Dean? Shouldn't it fit?"

Prita sighed, "They don't fit in either because of different dads."

Bayu scratched his head. He forgot that fact. Indeed, Daniel is Dean's brother and Livy's just a different father.

"Then, do we need to make Daniel a junior?"

Prita raised a sharp gaze hearing Bayu's words.

"Haha.... I was just kidding. Why do you take me so seriously. I'm so scared of being glared at that."

Bayu's speech was spontaneously thrown from his mouth. His intention was just kidding. Didn't know that Prita would take it seriously.
