Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 25
Currently Iwan and Anis are waiting for Zulfa in front of the ER with anxious expectation. Iwan is very worried that if something bad happens to Zulfa, he is confused about what to say to Zahra if he asks Zulfa.
After a long wait, the doctor who treated Zulfa walked out of the room.
"Miss Zulfa's family?" ask the doctor about Iwan.
"Yes, Doc. I'm his brother."
"Can we talk for a second? It's about your sister's condition."
"All right, Doc."
Iwan hurried to follow the doctor to his room. Arriving at the doctor's room, Iwan is welcome to sit face to face with the doctor.
"How's my sister doing, Doc?"
"I need your approval to do a blood test. Because of my guess, it looks like your sister has leukemia."
"Leukemia?"
"Yes, blood cancer due to excessive production of white blood cells."
"Then, can it be cured?"
"Can, by routinely doing chemotherapy or special drugs to inhibit the spread of cancer cells in other organs.
But to be sure, we do a blood test first to be more accurate."
"Good, Doc. Do your best for my brother."
"Well, there'll be a nurse who takes a sample of his blood to take to the lab."
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Iwan returned to the ER. When he arrived there, Anis said that Zulfa had been moved to the treatment room.
"Mas, I'm going home first. You see, I shift day, send greetings to Zulfa."
"Yes, Mother. Thank you for helping me out."
"Together, I'm sorry."
After Anis said goodbye, Iwan rushed to Zulfa who was in the treatment room. When he opened the door, the first sight he saw was Zulfa lying weakly with a pale face.
His heart ached at the situation, he felt he had failed to keep Zulfa in line with Zahra's mandate.
He pulled the chair beside the gurney and sat down while holding Zulfa's hand.
"Excuse me, I want to take a sample of the patient's blood" said the nurse who had just entered.
"Please, Sus!"
The nurse took a sample of Zulfa's blood to take to the lab. Finished taking blood, the nurse immediately left the ward.
"Fa, the spit is healed! I'm confused, what should I say to your brother if at any time he asks you how you are?"
"Mas Iwan!" lirih Zulfa blinked her eyes.
"Yes, Fa. I'm right here."
"Where am I, Mas?"
"You're in the hospital now, because it was just as I arrived, you've passed out."
"I'm sorry, Mas. I'm gonna be taking your shit."
"Nothing. It's been my responsibility as long as you're here, your brother has asked me to take care of you."
"Mas, please don't talk to brother if I'm hospitalized!"
"Why, Fa? He must know your current condition."
"Don't, Mum! Yesterday my sister called me, she said there was a bad feeling about me. That's why I asked Mas Iwan not to talk to brother," explained Zulfa.
"Ok, I'm not going to talk to your sister."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Either. Oh yeah, you want breakfast what can I buy?"
"Just bury it, Mommy."
"Yes, you wait a minute! I'm out to buy you porridge."
After Iwan came out, Zulfa closed his eyes with a feeling of unease.
He felt that something was wrong with his body. Yes, the condition he is experiencing at this time is exactly as experienced by his late father.
His heart instantly throbbed pain if what he was thinking really happened. What if he leaves the world at any time? Can she leave her brother?
"Would I be able to leave my sister forever?" inner Zulfa.
Before long, Iwan had returned with 2 boxes of chicken porridge.
Zulfa who noticed Iwan's arrival, instantly wiped away his tears.
"Fa, this is eat first! Intentionally have you no sauce, because you are still not recovered," said Iwan while giving the chicken porridge.
"Yes, Mas. Thanks." Thanks."

In the afternoon, the doctor who handled Zulfa entered the Zulfa's ward with the results of a blood test.
"Good afternoon!" greet doctor.
"Good afternoon, Doc!" reply Zulfa and Iwan together.
"Are there any complaints?"
"Nothing, Doc."
"Alright, I'm here to tell you the results of Zulfa's blood test. Before that, I checked his blood pressure."
"All right, Doc."
The doctor immediately checked Zulfa's blood pressure, after it was finished then the doctor told the results of the blood test.
"After I have been thorough and ensured the accuracy of the results. Turns out, Ms. Zulfa is positive for leukemia," explained the doctor.
Deg
Zulfa's heart seemed to stop beating, his breath felt stuck in the esophagus. What he thought came true, he had the same disease as his late father.
"Then, how's the handling going, Doc?"
"For handling we can do spinal cord donor surgery that matches the patient."
"Is there anything else, Doc?" zulfa asked after a moment of silence.
"There, take special medications regularly. But the drug is only to inhibit the spread of cancer cells only.
So, Ms. Zulfa can decide for herself the option to choose."
"I'll choose the second option, Doc."
"But, Fa-" Iwan refutes, but is stopped by Zulfa's glare.
"Well, I'll prepare the recipe and it can be redeemed at the pharmacy."
"All right, Doc."
The doctor left the hospital room, Zulfa and Iwan lived in the room.
"Fa, why didn't you choose the first option? Do you know that this disease can be life threatening?"
"I know, Mas. I don't want anyone to know about my illness, especially my sister."
"Don't fuck you, Fa! You need to be accompanied by family so as not to down because of your disease," Iwan joked.
"Udah enough I burdened brother all this time, let brother feel his happiness now without having to be burdened with my condition.
I don't want to be too hopeful, Mom. If it is my destiny to go fast, I am sincere. And vice versa if I am still given long life, in any way I can be cured by the permission of God," explained Zulfa with condense eyes.
Iwan who saw Zulfa's resignation immediately pulled Zulfa's body in his arms.
"I'll keep you fighting to heal."
Zulfa, who felt Iwan's genuine care and affection, could not help but hold back her tears.
She was deeply moved to get the attention of people other than her brother.
"promise, Fa! Whatever you face, stay upbeat and optimistic. You are not alone, there I will always be at the forefront to keep you company."
"Thank you, Mom. Mas Iwan has helped me a lot, always there for me," said Zulfa with sobs still heard.
"No thanks, Fa. Because to me you are my sister, so whatever you need and feel, don't hesitate to talk directly to me."
"Yes, Mum."
sorry just can up again 🙏🙏
