Bringing Our Differences together
The wind came crashing
The next day Nada came to the Hospital where he was treated yesterday without being accompanied by anyone. Nada deliberately did not tell anyone if today she was asked to come there, because Nada did not want to make anyone worry about her situation.
To be honest Nada had some time felt something was wrong with her body but because of something and other things, Nada had never paid any heed to her condition. He keeps trying to do all the activities that must be done with all the strength he has.
Somehow Nada's heart felt a little anxious about her situation, she was afraid that something bad would come to her life once again. His hands felt cold because he was nervous about the results he would receive. After a while waiting on one of the benches in the waiting room, the nurse came and let Nada into the room of Doctor James, the doctor who examined her yesterday.
As usual Doctor James smiled and allowed Nada to sit down first. Doctor James then opened the laboratory results that Nada had done yesterday. Doctor James, who was around the age of Nada's father, shook his head a few seconds later. “Did you come alone? You didn't come with your parents?”
“I came by myself doctor. I deliberately did not bring my father, I did not want to make him worry about my situation. “
Doctor James looked at Nada's face with his worried gaze, “But this. You should have come with a parent or someone close to you.”.
“What exactly is this? Is my situation really that worrying? Why does Doctor James look like that?” ask Tone in the heart. His hands had already started shaking, he was trying to hold back all the fear that was attacking him.
Tone trying to smile looking at Doctor James's face, “Please the doctor tell me what happened, I will accept whatever reality I have to live.”
“Alright if your decision is like that. There are cancer cells in your small brain and these cells have entered stage 3.”
Tone's eyes were aghast, he had never imagined something as bad as this could happen to him. “Then what should I do doc?”
“The only way to slow these cancer cells from developing, is simply by doing chemotherapy. It is better to do surgery to remove cancer cells in your brain, but all of that also has its own risks. Because the cancer cells are stuck in your small brain.”
“What are the risks that occur if docking surgery is performed?”
Doctor James didn't have the heart to say it all, but that's what he had to do as a doctor. “The first risk is definitely a high mortality rate, both can make you Coma for a while and the last one is most likely the greatest loss of some even completely of your memory.”
Tone holding his head that began to feel heavy, “How much does it cost to do the operation that doctor?”
“For its operation, the required funds are about 80 million. That does not include the treatment room and the drugs you should consume. More or less funds to be prepared about 120 million.”
“120 million doctors? A lot of costs needed? I don't have that much money doctor.”
“Iya is indeed the cost needed by many children if doing surgery. How to do chemotherapy first. For the cost of chemotherapy I will help you, I will issue a donor letter from my Cancer foundation.”
“Doctors have a Cancer Foundation?”
“Yes, that cancer foundation I created 12 years ago.”
“I'd like some time to think things over for a while huh doctor. I'll come here to see a doctor.”
Doctor James patted Nada's shoulder, “Alright, I understand. Here's my business card if you experience something bad in your body, you can call my home phone number or my mobile phone. But I suggest not for long because we do not know malignant or not cancer cells in your brain.”
“Good doctor.”
Doctor James returned to his seat, wrote a prescription for the drug. “This I gave pain medication for a while. If you cannot bear the pain that comes to your head, hope you consume it. This is a generic drug so it is not too expensive.”
Small smiling tone, “Good doctor. Thank you very much Doc. I believe the Doctor was sent by God to help me. Again thank you very much.”
Doctor James smiled looking at the face of Nada who already felt helpless. “Sama-sama. I am also happy to be able to help you, it happens that your age is the same as my son's. He died 14 years ago, so I am looking for a donor to open this Foundation.”
“Sorry my doctor did not mean to make the doctor sad.”
“It's okay. Although I was sad, it was probably God's will. So that I can help many people who have diseases like my son. And I hope you do that chemotherapy soon.”
“Iya doctor, I will contact the doctor asap.”
Nada then said goodbye to Doctor James. His heart was like it had fallen into pieces, breaking into pieces without remaining. He asked himself, with everything he was going through at the moment. “God, why did this ordeal happen to me? Do you feel I can live it? Is that like God? I still want to be with you, God. I can't afford to leave papa. What happens to papa if I also leave him?”
Tears were seen flowing from the corner of Tone's eye. Aside from being shocked by the harsh reality he had to accept, he was also unable to leave behind the papa that he deeply cared about. He decided to go to Capel Hospital to pray for some time there.
Dusk comes, the bias of sunlight becomes invisible and slowly disappears. The leaves also fall down in the wind. Tone can be seen sitting on the porch of his house, his face looks sad, his lips felt faint unable to say. It was as if he felt like he had fallen into the deepest valley and was unable to do anything. Om Achin, Nada's father had noticed his only daughter. His heart felt that something was happening to Nada, but he did not know what was really going on with him.
Tone turned towards the voice that called him, “Xie-xie pa. papa jingcuo (sitting).”
Om Achin sat beside Nada, Tada placed his hand on his papa's lap. It seems like Nada has long been unblemished to her father like this. Om Achin smilingly stroked his son's hair.
“Last you spoiled people same papa time mama and adek you still there. We often sit together as we are today, here we are the stories. Lu kangen mom with little sister huh?”
Tone nodded his head, unbearable tears just drenched his cheeks. No words can come out of the mouth of Tone in the least. Om Achin continued his words, “Mama and XiauTi must have been happy in Heaven. We just need to pray for the best for them. Udah you do not have to cry this way, if you cry later mama same xiaoti can be sad there.”
“Iya pa. Aling knows all that. Every night Aling always pray for them.”
Om Achin smiled at the words of Nada, “Aling why? Is there a problem with Ali?”
Tone shook his head, “All is well. Aling and Ali's relationship is good, Ali is always good and affectionate with Aling.”
“Then why do you look so sad? From earlier papa clay, Aling looked lethargic like this. Why nak?”
“Aling only soy sauce, justin Aling here first yes pa. Aling kangen time like this, Aling time spoiled same papa.”
Om Achin smiled faintly. Tone asleep on his father's lap, his tears were seen wetting his cheeks. Om Achin who still looks very strong carrying Nada and put Tone in his room. Confusion and worry arise in the heart of Om Achin.
Moments later Om Achin took his cell phone and contacted his future favorite son-in-law. It didn't take long Ali immediately received a call from the would-be-in-law.
Ali put down the drumsticks he was playing. “Hallo.. Assalamualaikum Om..”
“Hallo... Waalaikumsalam.. “ said Om Achin returned greetings from Ali.
Ali smiled listening to the greeting Om Achin gave him. Although Om Achin is a Christian, they are a family that values differences. “Malem Om.. About the phone Ali malem-malem gini?”
“So we can't phone you guys so?”
“Oh is not like that Om.. Of course you can dong.. Prospective cook-in-laws cannot call. I mean Ali, it's normal for Om to call never last night. That's what Ali om.” means
“Ali..owe would like to ask.. But you answered honestly yes.” said Om Achin in a serious tone of voice.
“Awhy is this Papa my dear tumben talking seriously like this? Last chat seriously right time asked my feelings to Nada, now what else ya?” ask Ali in my heart.
“Ali....” said Om Achin made Ali aware of his daydream.
“Eh.. Yes, Om, I can.. Ali will answer Om's question honestly.. Ali promise.”
“Are you the same kid owe there is such a problem? Are you two fighting together?”
Ali thought for a moment, “Ali felt the same Aling no problem om, we no longer fight. Why not om?”
“Totally? You're no longer trying to lie to us, are you?”
“Not om, really. Ali was honest, om. We no longer fight. In fact, this morning Ali met him for a while, Aling and Ali had breakfast together before leaving for campus.”
“Oh good means that.” said Om Achin with the leg.
“But why ask Ali that? Is there a problem with om?”
“It was from earlier owe saw Aling was sad, her face was not as usual. So owe think you guys what a fight or how. If it turns out not, owe can calm down. Maybe Aling is just kangen with her mom and sister. Yes, if that's why hang up the phone, owe want to rest. Thanks.”
“Iya om, equally. Happy break om...”.
Ali hung up the phone, forgot to say hello. Ali looks frowning, “Why is that? My chat feeling is also all day long why is he not open huh? Did she really miss her mom and sister? So he didn't reply to chat either? Hope he's all right. Haggai him yes Allah.”.
