Between the Two Hearts

A gift to Arfi

Now I'm focused on Alex's health and trying my best for her recovery while attending Soffie's meeting, calling me many times, but being in the meeting I didn't pick her up.

I called her back but unexpectedly apparently she came to the house because this was her schedule with Alex and stupidly I forgot to tell the people at home not to tell them in advance condition Alex.

“ Mas!Exorbitant, you are mas! The condition is this severe you did not tell me at all.” The moment we connected in a phone call.

“Soff. You heard first the explanation mas not mas do not want to tell this to you but mas still waiting for the right time.” I tell stand up.

“Waiting for the right time? I am her birth mother mas, I am pregnant with her I gave birth to her!.”

“ If things happen that I do not want to kill you mas!” threaten her with hysterical screams.

“Soff don't ngaco you! Don't forget I'm also my papa who took care of him after we divorced, what are you you?!.” My jerk is no less fierce because it is constantly cornered.

“I am so moved to hear your words. Bullshits! You only give material but never give affection! she grew out of the affection of a sister, While you were busy with your personal pleasures!.” He is merciless.

“ Enough Soffie! You should also introspect yourself if you do not betray of course I will not divorce you and he will not lose his affection!.”

“ No need to pry my past mas. we do not live in the past ! if only you weren't selfish of course you let custody fall on me!."

At least she received the affection of her biological mother.not the affection of a sister who has no blood relation with her!.”

“But you are too Arogan you are too judging my mistakes without ever wanting introspection you are ignoring all means so that custody falls into your hands!.”

“ Diammmmmm!!! You can be quiet?!” my cry with a trembling voice restrained the emotions .

Immediately I ended the phone call between us as the atmosphere warmed up .

My breathing hunts for trying to hold back my emotions throughout the conversation I immediately grab the mineral water located on my desk.

During the course of treatment, Soffie and I kept her out of the office hours of her usual day, her nanny waiting in the hospital.

It didn't feel like it had been 8 months of Alex undergoing intensive treatment today the doctor allowed me to take him on a walk around the hospital .

He looked enthusiastic breathing the air outside

" Paa paa Alex is tired of pa let's go home pa." his whining while covered in tears.

" Patience is a whiz, later if it's healed surely we go home ok?." persuade me he just nodded weakly .

Naturally he felt bored for 8 months he struggled with his illness .

After walking for 1 hour Alex had to return to the treatment room.

In the afternoon I accompanied Soffie to see the doctor who handled Alex.Tok tok tok!

" Get in" said the doctor from the inside then we were allowed to sit down.

The doctor explained to do a spinal cord transplant immediately.

I called Soffie again to ask when she could see a doctor about her willingness to be a donor for our son.

" Yes, why mas." Say

" Are you serious about being a donor to Alex?."

"Mas I think I'm playing? don't just bone marrow the life I gave." His voice sounded snide in my ears.

"Soff please can't, there's no need for a commotion between us?!." My sergeant.

"Can, oh ya mas not go clubbing when he was struggling with his illness right?!."

I felt really upset because he was still attacking me with the words that cornered me.

Immediately I ended the phone call before my anger really exploded.

" I'm just the doc who became the donor I'm his mother." Soffie said.

" Can't just be ma'am, there is a procedure later will be done test to find HLA conformity."((Human leucocyte antigen.")

"For donors who still have blood relationships there must be a conformity of HLA as much as 6."

"For donors who have no blood relation there must be a consensus of HLA 8" explained the doctor clearly. After hearing Soffie's doctor's assessment, he underwent a series of tests.[ HLA is a protein found in body cells]

And as a result there's an HLA similarity between Soffie and Alex and I'm not qualified because I have hepatitis .

That same day Soffie underwent a procedure to remove marrow from the spine he looked Nervous because it had to be completely anesthetized.

" Well I'm nervous "he's just looking at me with an anxious face.

I grabbed her in my arms that was the first time I hugged her without a fight after almost 3 years of separation.

" Relax you're great, sure you can get through this all ok." My whisper while holding his hand which became cold because of groggy.

Not long after he entered the room to be retrieved from the marrow of the back artisan who will be donated to Alex.

For two hours I waited anxiously unceasingly for both of them.

The two hours I was tormented with so much worry considering that Soffie was unconscious and fighting for the recovery of our son.

Not long Soffie was pushed into the treatment room because the process of retrieving the spinal cord was complete.

He was still under the influence of his eyes closed I looked at the face of the woman who had accompanied me for five years.

The woman who has given me a son is just a clever and adorable puppet but now she is struggling with her illness.

I clasped his cold clothes, not long before he opened his eyes

" I am thirsty" he said.

I swiftly snatched the mineral bottle beside his bed.

Because his body was still weak I helped him hold the bottle of mineral water.

" It's already a mas.." He still spoke in a weak voice.

" What do you feel ? Dizziness?." My words

Again he just nodded weakly, a moment later he lay back down.

" Yes, you've rested first, and you're staying in Alex's room." I said as I fixed the blanket that was exposed.

I immediately stepped towards the door but had not had time for my hand to touch the doorknob he called me.

Mas.." I stopped my steps and turned to him.

" Yes.why Soff?." Ask me

" Thank you." His mouth smiled thinly.
