Friendship Has Changed Destiny

Chapters 27. Seeking a blood donor

Angga was very anxious to see Zia's condition, blood continued to pour from between the knives that were still stuck in Zia's stomach, he stopped his car for a moment to open his clothes and wrap around the wound. He shed tears seeing the condition of the wound and the pale face of his lover lying next to him.

With an above average speed he continued to drive his car until the red light of the road he just passed.

Finally he reached the hospital, security and nurses brought a gurney closer to his car. He immediately pushed the gurney where Zia was lying on top of him towards the ER room. The doctor examined her and said Zia should be taken to the operating room immediately.

Suppose immediately take care of his administration so that Zia can be operated immediately. He did not dare to take the risk by waiting until Zia's mother came. He immediately signed a letter of approval to conduct the operation.

Zia was immediately taken to the operating room and the doctor told her that she needed extra blood in about two bags. After a fortuitous examination, Zia's blood type is very rare, namely AB negative and the hospital does not have that blood type. The family should immediately find a donor.

When Angga was about to call Rania to ask what type of mother's blood type is the same as Zia, it turns out that mother and Zia have arrived in front of the operating room. While adek and Mang Asep wait in the car because it is not good to bring small children into the hospital which is the source of the disease.

"How is Zia Angga?", asked Rania and her mother in unison.

"Zia is still being treated by the doctor, she must be operated on immediately, but at this time Zia needs additional blood bu about two bags, he said, while Zia's blood type is a rare blood type and the hospital supplies are empty for that blood type" Angga said.

Mothers are increasingly anxious because the mother's blood type is not the same as Zia. Zia's late father's blood type was the same as her.

Angga also looks anxious, he immediately called his assistant to find information in every hospital whether it has a negative AB blood supply and if necessary find a donor. Angga will pay whatever origin their blood type matches.

Then he called his secretary to buy him a set of change clothes because he had worn his clothes to cover Zia's wounds while in the car and his pants were also exposed to Zia's blood. He asked for his clothes to be delivered to the hospital.

About half an hour later, his secretary came to bring a paper bag containing clothes ordered by Angga.

Two hours passed but they had not found any stock or donors, while doctors gave them only two more hours.

Mom and Rania cry, they are confused what to do. Suddenly Rania remembered her papa, why she did not ask her papa to help find a donor.

Soon he called his papa and told him how it happened until Zia was stabbed. She cries and feels guilty about why Zia had to save herself. The one who should be lying in the hospital is him.

Hearing his daughter's words, Mr. Arya was very surprised and anxious.

"You didn't get hurt, honey, now which hospital are you in?, Papa will be there soon."

"We're in Columbia pa's hospital" replied Rania.

It just so happened that Mr. Arya was having a business meeting not too far away from the hospital where Zia was operated on. He said goodbye to his colleague to postpone their meeting due to an emergency. After that he immediately drove his car to the highway to the hospital.

Arriving at the hospital, Rania who saw her father came back crying and smashing his papa.

"Hiks hyks, please Zia Pa, pity Zia, because of Rania's carelessness Zia arrived like this pa. Rania regrets Pa, Rania shouldn't be careless and Zia shouldn't sacrifice herself."

"Here dear, now we must calm down, all this is the way already the destiny of Allah SWT. You sit down and calm yourself, son, Papa will meet Zia's mother."

Mr. Arya immediately walked over to his mother Zia.

"Mom I'm sorry about this incident because my son's carelessness it all ended like this."

"No sir, Rania is not wrong. They just try to defend themselves. It's his will sir, we can only pray that soon there will be a blood donor for Zia."

"Oh yes ma'am, I heard from Rania Zia AB negative blood type, I happen to be that blood type. Rania has the same blood type as her mother. This is my mom going to do an examination soon, hopefully my blood type matches Zia's right."

"Alhamdulillah, hopefully it fits sir, thank you in advance sir."

Angga who had been pacing back and forth in front of the operating room while continuing to look for information from his assistant, heard the words of Mr. Arya immediately ran over.

"Is it true that I heard Mr, Mom, is it true that your blood type is also AB negative?"

Mr. Arya nodded.

"It's right son" continued the mother.

Rania also stood up to her papa, "Is that really what Papa said?"

"Yes my son" replied Mr. Arya.

"Alhamdulillah, hopefully Zia will soon be helped."

"Well mother, son Angga I'll miss the examination, we don't waste any more time."

They all nodded too.

Mr. Arya immediately went to the doctor for a test and it did not take long for the results to come out.

The doctor and nurse immediately took out two bags of Mr. Arya's blood.

The operating room lights on the sign of surgery on Zia's wound being performed. The doctor tried to pull out the knife that was still stuck in Zia's stomach. The knife was successfully pulled and fortunately the knife was not to tear badly the organs in Zia's stomach.

They all waited outside anxiously. Angga keeps pacing back and forth while praying. Rania hugged her mother and both of them prayed the same. While Mr. Arya is resting because his condition is a little weak due to the process of donating blood that he just did.

The operating room lights go out indicating the operation has been completed, all close when you see the doctor coming out of the operating room.

"How's my friend doc?"

"Where's the family" the doctor asked.

"I'm doc's mother."

"Alhamdulillah at this time the operation was successful, but we wait a while longer hopefully the critical period will pass soon. After the critical period has passed we will transfer the patient to the ICU room for temporary treatment until the condition is stable."

"Thank God, thank you doc" they said at the same time.

The three of them continued to pray that Zia's critical period would soon pass. Not long after the nurse came out, he informed her that Zia was conscious and would soon be transferred to the ICU room.

The three gave thanks, mother and Rania embraced while crying happily.

Now Angga can breathe a sigh of relief, then he took his mother and Rania to the cafeteria to buy drinks and stomach food.

As long as Zia is still in the ICU should not be carelessly visited, only one person can enter alternately later when the hospital-specified besuk hours arrive.

The three of them walked to the hospital canteen to drink and eat first to maintain stamina to stay healthy and have the energy to keep Zia.

After they finished eating they returned to the waiting area in front of the ICU room. The clock arrived, the nurse allowed one person to enter, the mother was the first to enter. Earlier, the nurse asked the mother to wash her hands and open the sandals when entering the ICU room.

There Zia was lying weakly on the patient's bed. Zia smiled when she saw the mother coming, her eyes were glassy, she tried to hold back the crying but still could not. Then he stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the mother's hand. The two cried, then mother encouraged Zia.

"You must be strong, son, and be patient. We should be grateful that God has given you the opportunity to save you from this calamity."

"Yes ma'am, Zia always thanked God for giving Zia a chance to live longer."

"After you are healed we must also thank his Father Rania, thanks to the youth intermediary who donated his blood you were given healing by Allah SWT."

"Yes ma'am", Zia replied softly.

"Son, mom came out first, so I can change the look. Nak Angga and Raniah were also very worried, they would also want to visit you."

Zia nodded as well.

Now it was Angga's turn to enter, he stood closer to Zia's head. He gently stroked Zia's hair and clasped her hand tightly while looking into Zia's eyes which began to pool water in his eyes.

With a sobbing Zia smiled and clasped back tightly to Angga's hand, no one felt even shed tears. Then Angga kissed Zia's hand and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and her lover's tears.

In that silence only their hearts speak. Seeing her lover's smile makes Angga's worries less.

Zia softly said, "Dear not to worry, God willing I will be healed, I want to be healed for you and mom."

Saying to return Zia's smile, "Promise baby, you don't worry me anymore like this, I'm not ready to lose you as soon as possible, even though I know our dead lives are all predetermined by Him."

After they were satisfied to talk Angga was out to give a chance to Rania see Zia.

Now the last time Rania's turn came in, since from the entrance she was already unable to hold back her cries. The guilt, sadness, worry of seeing his best friend lying weak made him so fragile that he kept shedding his tears.

Zia who saw her friend crying also could not help crying. He wanted to hug her but could not because of her stomach wound that was still sore and bandaged.

I'm sorry Zia, because of my carelessness you're lying here almost losing your life, you shouldn't sacrifice yourself to help me."

"Already Nia, all this is not the fault of who, all is the destiny of God, which is important in the future we must be more careful. If I were in your position, surely you would also do the same to save me right.

I don't want to see you hurt Nia and you just now don't like to see me hurt.

We are friends, hopefully God will forever make us true friends in the world and the hereafter."

"Aamiin" said the two.
