Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 133 ~ Competition ~

Doctors said Angela had chronic leukemia, Acute Myeloid Leukemia or AML. Doctors recommend doing a spinal cord transplant from a donor who is DNA most similar. While the DNA that is most similar is the DNA of siblings.

"The risk for relapse or recurrence of leukemia is believed to be very small for patients who have undergone a spinal cord transplant" the doctor explained.

Spinal cord grafts were the advice of doctors of the time. Hearing there is still hope, both parents Angela and Angelica were relieved to have a way to treat Angela's disease. Angelica is the most suitable candidate as a donor.

Angelica who is suitable as a donor first goes through a series of health checks. This aims to ensure that the bone marrow it has is the same as the donor recipient's bone marrow sample. The doctor also informed her that Angelica had been declared suitable as a donor and occupied the space next door for bone marrow transplant preparation.

Angelica went to her sister's hospital room. Tells how great his sacrifice was to help cure his sister's disease. Angelica asks Nico in return. 

"I will be your savior. They'll take my spinal cord to give you. Sampling alone feels very painful, what about the bone marrow transplant process? Brother, I sacrificed a lot for you, would you give me something I really want?" ask Angelica.

However, instead of agreeing, Angela actually insulted Angelica. Not an award or a thank you. Not to be grateful or to repay Angelica's sacrifice. Angela even insulted and humiliated her own sister.

It's good to want my Nico, you look at it before asking for something, Angela said.

Who is willing to give up his beloved heart? For Angela, Nico is her pride. The only man she's worth in High School is Nico. The only man who deserves to hold her hand is Nico. That guy she's gonna turn over to Angelica?

Just die you. Basic do not know yourself, inner Angela when hearing her sister's request.

Rather than handing Nico over to her sister, Angela might prefer to die or choose another donor to help her. In Angela's heart. Cussing even insulting his sister as low as he could.

Angela let out the best words she could say. The words he had painstakingly filtered. Compared to the curse in his heart.

"You want to be with him? But he doesn't want to be with you. If I leave him to you. In an instant he would run again towards me. Even if I kick him towards you, he'll crawl back to me. You have nothing that can match me. Never mind rivaling me, your grades are not half my grades. Your beauty is not one-tenth more than my beauty. Maybe Nico will accept you. While there is me who is soon healthy and happy with him? Anyway Nico is dead love to me," explained Angela at length.

Gracefully those words were spoken from Angela's mouth. Angela's words are already very good according to him. Like angry but angry a noble daughter who can restrain herself.

Not for Angelica, though. Angela's words hurt her. Angela indirectly asks Angelica to look if she wants something. Angelica's sacrifice was considered worthless to Angela. Not getting a request but actually getting an insult.

The only thing Angelica could do at that time was to leave that hospital room. Seem resigned but he was not willing. With a grudge in his eyes Angelica caught a clear box with small blocks to separate the drugs according to the dose.

Intentionally or unintentionally. Consciously or unconsciously Angelica's hand reached into the clear box. Take some of the seeds and throw them in the window. Angelica looked at her brother's back with a vengeance. Then step out of that inpatient room. Rela unwillingly, Angelica remains a spinal cord donor to her sister. 

"Before the transplant was done, Angela had to undergo treatment with chemotherapy. It was useful to destroy existing bone marrow and cancer cells as well as to weaken his immune system. In addition to reducing the risk of rejection of transplant cells," explained the doctor at the time.

The worried faces of the two old men. Whether his daughter will be able to undergo a treatment process that is known to be very frightening and painful. The side effects of chemotherapy are greatly feared by cancer healing fighters.

Physical endurance and mental strength are tested in the process of chemotherapy treatment. Dry lips, nausea and vomiting even hair loss will be an inner burden in addition to enduring pain for the sufferer.

The worried face of the two old men was not a concern for Angelica. Angelica's attention was only on Nico. A handsome figure that makes his eyes can not be separated looking at his sister's boyfriend. Nico focused on Angela and never paid attention to Angelica.

"Finally Brother Nico came too, from earlier Brother Angela was waiting," said Angelica greeting Nico.

The man was rubbing Angela's face to persuade her to keep eating. Nico comes every day to visit Angela. Angela's parents are very happy to see Nico's loyalty accompany their daughter.

"I'm the bone marrow donor for Angela's sister, Sis," Angelica told Nico.

"Oh yeah?" said Nico.

Angelica is happy her speech got the attention of Nico. The more the spirit of telling the man. Tell how it hurts during the sampling process and others. Nico smiles at Angelica's story. The more the girl's spirit told Nico.

Sometimes Angelica flanked the man's arm to show his familiarity. Angela held back the heart of seeing her sister's familiar snobs. Angelica acts like supporting Nico's love for her brother.

Though Angela knows the heart of Angelica who wants to take Nico from her side. Nico hugged Angelica to thank her sister for being a donor to her sister. Angelica smiled at Angela while hugging the handsome man.

"Sister Nico, I may refuse to help my own brother. If I had known long ago I could help him I would have done it. Angela's sister, my only sister, I would do anything for her" Angelica said, replying to Nico's embrace.

"Thankfully, you were willing to help her," said Nico wanting to take off her arms with a smile but Angelica instead pulled the man back into her arms.

How upset Angela was to see that sight. Moreover, Angelica always smiled at him whenever it managed to grab Nico's attention. However, Angela could do nothing. He doesn't want Nico to feel the rivalry between himself and Angelica.

"Tomorrow Brother Nico will be here again? Pity Sister Angela is always sad that Sister Nico did not come," said the teenage girl without reducing her embrace.

"Sure, I'll come every day" replied Nico.

"Already! Do not long hug him," said Angela finally can not hold back her jealousy.

When Nico returns home, Angela is relieved. The longer Nico is there the longer his heart is tormented. As soon as Nico came out of the inpatient room, Angelica also immediately wanted to leave.

"Wait on! There's something I want to talk about, come here!" said Angela could not bear to see the behavior of her sister.

The competition is clearly open. Despite being ridiculed and insulted by Angela, it turns out Angelica did not recede as well. His behavior is becoming more and more. Angela was no longer able to endure her feelings of regret.

"If Nico comes again, watch out for you acting like you did. Or you'll die" Angela said, holding her sister's arm tightly.

Angela clasped the arm so tightly that it made Angela flushed. So upset, Angela like not to consider Angelica as her sister again but fellow women who both like Nico.

And so is Angelica. The girl did not think of Angela as her sister anymore. Since getting insulted from her brother, after his sacrifice helped Angela, the girl also does not care about her brother's safety anymore.

"I'll behave like that again, even more. Who of us will get Nico's brother in the end! Look who's sick here" said Angelica.

"Although I'm sick, but I'm still prettier than you. Nico's love doesn't move easily. Your efforts will be in vain. Look when I'm healthy again, I'll give you back" Angela said as she squeezed Angelica's arm until she grimaced in pain.

"Who said Angela's going to be healthy? Angela's going to die!" angelica said, shaking her sister's hand.

Angela was stunned to hear her sister's cruel speech. It was unexpected that Angelica could say such words to him. In someone who is suffering from a deadly disease. It was only felt by him, Angelica, his sister had considered him someone else, considering him a rival and an enemy that must be eliminated.
