Mom For Bhara

9: Blood Donation

The smell of typical hospital medicines is striking in Natasya's sense of smell. The girl was already running along the hospital corridor, followed by Hendry behind her. Now the focus is only on the Emergency Installation (IGD) room, where Bhara is already lying helpless.

Natasya's footsteps came to a halt as her eyes caught the figure of Bhara lying on top of one of the gurneys with a body drenched in blood. There were also doctors and nurses who were busy handling the child, along with several orphanage officials.

Her crying broke just like that making some people there turn their heads towards her. He stepped his foot in a hurry to get closer to Bhara.

"Jeez my son..," said Natasha as she sobbed beside Bhara.

Doctors and nurses who had just provided care temporarily went to take care of some needs.

Natasya stretched out her trembling hand to touch the boy's forehead. He doesn't care if his hands are exposed to blood from Bhara. The people around him could only look with pity at Natasha and Bhara.

Suddenly, Natasya looked up at the orphanage's mother.

"What happened to my son?! You guys can take care of Bhara, can't you?! How can you let such a small child roam the streets?!" exclaimed Natasya while approaching the owner of the orphanage.

"I'm sorry for the carelessness of the orphanage, Ms. Natasya," said the mother, "since yesterday, Bhara rebelled wanting to be returned to Ms. Natasya's house, but we managed to prevent it."

Natasya's cry grew louder hearing the words from the mother of the parlour. The little boy insisted on seeing him.

"Last afternoon, unbeknownst to us, Bhara escaped from the orphanage. The boy intends to go alone to Natasya's mother's house. Until when he ran down the highway, the fateful incident occurred," added the mother of the orphanage.

Natasya covered her face using both hands as her sobs grew louder. Her heart was so sore to hear how much Bhara suffered when she had to part with him. Hendry, who was sorry for his assistant, rubbed Natasya's shoulder to calm the girl.

Not long after, a nurse approached them, "sorry, who is the guardian of Bhara's sister?"

"I, sister," replied the mother.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Brother Bhara lost enough blood, so we need a blood donor as soon as possible. But the problem is, the blood type of Bhara's sister is relatively rare, namely AB-. The hospital has contacted several PMI offices around here, but none of them are suitable" the nurse said.

"AB-AT? Is not blood with negative rhesus very rare in Indonesia?" natasya said in disbelief, "should it really be the same, sister? Can't AB rhesus blood be positive? Or O's blood?"

The nurse shook her head, "can't, Mom. Blood with rhesus negative cannot receive blood from rhesus positive."

"As for blood type O, although in theory, blood type is a universal donor and can be donated to all blood types. However, in practice, such a blood donor is not recommended" the nurse added.

"Wait, AB-blood?" asked Hendry suddenly.

The nurse was surprised to see Hendry, "Oh, Mr Hendry?! You were here?"

Hendry simply nodded and smiled, "to my knowledge, Doctor Johnathan also has a rare blood type, but I forgot what his blood type was. Can you check first?"

The nurse nodded, then went to check the blood type of the doctors. For those wondering, how did the nurse know Hendry? The answer is, because the hospital belongs to Hendry's wife. Not only that, his eldest son also worked as a surgeon here.

Later, the nurse was seen talking about something with the doctor who handled Bhara earlier. They look like they're preparing something. After that, the nurse came back to Natasha and the people who accompanied Bhara.

"Thankfully, it turns out that Dr. Johnathan has AB-blood type" the nurse said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after, the doctor returned to Bhara's gurney with a female doctor and a male doctor.

"Good afternoon" said the woman's doctor, "I'm Doctor Anjani, director of Medika Anjani Hospital."

"I heard there are patients who need AB-blood type," Anjani continued, "it just so happens that my son, Doctor Johnathan has the same blood type."

"Please do whatever it takes to save Bhara, Ms. Anjani," said Natasya.

Natasha knew Anjani well enough. They had met several times before. But, for the eldest son of the Adikusuma family, namely Johnathan Adikusuma, this was the first time they met.

After that, the blood donation process is done. Starting from Johnathan's blood collection, lab testing, and blood donation on Bhara's body. Luckily the poor boy only had external injuries, so only needed to do blood donation and given a few stitches. Not until the operation. Even so, his condition could not be said to be fine. So, after Bhara's handling was completed, the child was immediately transferred to the ICU room.

...----------------...

In front of the ICU room, there are Natasya, Hendry, Anjani, and Johnathan. While the orphanage mother is in charge of hospital administration.

"Thank you, Ms. Anjani and Dr. Johnathan, for helping Bhara" Natasya said.

"It's okay, Natasha. It's our job as doctors" Anjani said.

"Yes, Natasha. I should have given my blood to someone in need" Johnathan replied with a gentle smile.

"But, how can Doctor Johnathan have AB-blood type? Isn't that magical?" ask Natasha in amazement.

Johnathan smiled, "probably because my grandfather was an American who had blood with rhesus negative? Don't you, Dad?"

"True," replied Hendry, "my father is American, Natasha. My blood type is B-, while my wife's blood type is A+. That's why Johnathan can get AB-blood type."

Natasya's eyes widened, "huh? Isn't the rhesus difference between mother and child very dangerous? To my knowledge, if a mother with positive rhesus conceives a baby with negative rhesus, or vice versa, it can be dangerous for the baby."

Johnathan chuckled, "you apparently have a lot of medical knowledge huh, Natasya."

Natasya's ears flushed in embarrassment at the young doctor's praise.

"It's dangerous, Natasha," said Anjani, "but the first child is safe. When Johnathan was born, he had jaundice, and fortunately he was still saved. But, for the second pregnancy and so on is very dangerous. Luckily, Alan has the same blood type as me, which is A+."

Natasya only the mangosteen understood.

"Then, what about Bhara, huh? Where did he get such a rare blood type?" natasya muttered.

Natasya's words made everyone think too. The negative rhesus blood type is predominantly shared by Americans and Europeans, while for Asians and Africans the dominant rhesus positive blood type. Moreover, blood type AB-, only a few percent of the population in Indonesia who have this blood type.

"Oh yes, said Alan, you had to take care of Bhara for one week at your home" said Anjani.

Natasya nodded slowly, then said softly, "yes, she had stayed with me for a short time."

Anjani looked at Natasha pitya, "Natasha, honestly I am very amazed by you. When there are so many mothers out there who do not love their children, you love a child who has no blood relationship with you."

Natasya smiled wryly, "i don't know either, Ms. Anjani. For some reason, I loved the boy so much, as if he were my own son."

Anjani smiled gently, "that's what a mother's instinct, Natasya."

Actually, Natasya also did not understand herself. He did not understand why he suddenly felt very fond of Bhara who was clearly just a stranger to him.
