My Boss, My Son's Father

CML

After leaving Ardi and Clara, Daniel and Rara did not go home. They're still in the hospital. They should see a doctor who checked on Rara a few days ago. Today they will take the results of Rara's lab tests. Luckily the hospital where Clara was treated was the same hospital. Not wasting much time.

The doctor invited Daniel and Rara to sit down and listen to his explanation.

"Good day, Mother and Father. I will explain the results of lab tests that have been conducted by Ms. Rara. I hope you and your mom don't have to be afraid after hearing it. Because we can handle it with medication." Said the doctor while giving his smile so that the tense atmosphere becomes comfortable.

Rara's palms are sweating. Daniel saw anxiety on his girlfriend's face. She clasped Rara's hand on her lap. Trying to hear good listen every word conveyed by the doctor while gently stroking the back of Rara's hand. Unable to deny, he also felt quite nervous.

"Are you ready, Mom and Dad?" Ask the gentle doctor.

Daniel and Rara nodded in response to the doctor's question.

"As I would expect from all the complaints, Rara's mother has CML or Chronic Myeloid Leukemia."

Hearing the word Leukemia, Rara's body stiffened. His face was pale for a moment. He could hardly believe his hearing. He believes the doctor must have misdiagnosed. Rara shook her head.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Daniel is worried to see the change in Rara's face. He could also feel Rara's body start to shake.

"No.impossible. The doctor was wrong, right?" Rara continued to shake her head and her tears fell down her cheeks.

"And this is impossible, right? Tell me that's not true?" Rara looked at Daniel with tears. Daniel hugged Rara giving her peace.

"Darling, you calm down. Let's hear a more complete explanation, shall we?" Rara was still crying in Daniel's arms.

Rara believes this is all wrong. He always lived healthy. He never did anything that could ruin his health. But what reality did he get today. Her tears continued to wash her cheeks.

"Sorry doc. Please continue on. My wife was just surprised." Daniel kept hugging Rara to keep her calm.

"I'm sorry that I surprised you. But the result is not wrong. This disease is usually suffered by women in their 40s. But sometimes it also does not cover for the 20s. As Rara's mother is experiencing now." The doctor explained.

"This disease is rare and dangerous if not treated immediately. This can account for 20 percent of all leukemia cases. The main cause of CML is genetic or hereditary factors. While environmental factors only a few percent affect." Further.

"Symptoms that have been experienced by Rara's mother are common symptoms. Easily tired, no appetite, reduced weight, frequent night sweats, sometimes have a fever. And also the stomach slightly enlarged can be even larger, it is because the spleen is enlarged. So the spleens work hard opposite each other.

He must produce red blood cells

As much as possible to compensate for excess white blood cells.

This disease has its own level. In general, cancer is treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. But I want to say that the disease suffered by Rara's mother is currently in the early stages. Especially for CML, it is only enough to be overcome by taking drugs or target therapy. By taking the drug regularly for 12 months, the expectation is that the level of BCR-ABL is below 0.1 percent. And of course the target is no longer detected."

"So in this case, Rara's mother doesn't have to worry too much. Just as much as I said, I'm sure you're cured." Said the doctor.

Daniel was relieved to hear the doctor's explanation. Rara also started to calm down. He rubbed his wet face with a tissue. Daniel also helped to straighten his girlfriend's hair.

"Thank you very much for the explanation, Doc. So when can my wife control me again doc?"

The doctor opened his agenda and then glanced at the calendar on his desk "Mother Rara can control here again in two weeks. For the cure please redeem at the pharmacy." The doctor gave Daniel his prescription.

"alright. Then excuse me doc. Thank you very much."

"Together."

Daniel's outstretched hand gently stroked Rara's head. Then he clasped Rara's right hand with his free left hand. Sometimes he kissed the back of Rara's hand. Daniel wants Rara to stay up in the spirit for anything to happen.

Because the journey is quite far. Rara's asleep. He was not bothered by the music in Daniel's car. It just makes him more drifting and sleeping.

Daniel finally arrived at his destination. He let Rara rest for a moment. Daniel leaned his body in the car seat. Looking towards Rara. Seeing how peaceful Rara was in her sleep.

Daniel got out of the car. He stood in front of his car. Occasionally his feet kicked a small rock around his shoes. The afternoon sky looks so beautiful with the atmosphere of the quiet lakeside.

Daniel looked back when he heard the car door open. Daniel approached and led Rara to the edge of the lake. Rara gasped at the beautiful and calming view of the lake. This was Rara's first time to a place like this. Rara looked up at the face of Daniel who was holding her from behind.

"You likey?" Daniel asked who was also looking down at Rara. Rara nodded. Then he peeped at the top of his head.

"You know this was my favorite place a few years ago. I spilled all my heart in this place. This place gives me peace of mind." Said Daniel while holding Rara tightly.

"Since you left back then, I've been here almost every week. I shed all my regrets for what I did to you back in this place. I thought I might never see you again. But it turns out I was wrong. Fate still gives me a chance to right my wrongs and bring us back together." Rara gasped as she felt a drop of tears fall on her arm. He turned his body to face Daniel and hugged him.

"I beg you not to leave me. Fight to heal."

"I'm scared." Rara's voice started to shake.

"I'm afraid I'm going to die." Rara's tears were rushing.

Daniel loosened his arms. He cupped Rara's face with both hands.

"Hey, honey. Hear me. You're not gonna die. I'm not gonna let that happen. You heard the doctor say the possibility for you to recover is very large. Fight to stay alive and heal. Fight for our children. Fight for me and our love. Hemm?" Daniel kisses Rara on the forehead and brings her back in his arms.

"Well, under any circumstances believe me, I'll stay with you. I love you so much and I don't want to lose you." Daniel stroked gently behind Rara.

"I love you and the kids too. I will fight for you."

Rara's heart is deeply saddened at the moment to accept the reality that almost made her world collapse. But he had twins he had to take care of and raise. He still wants to live longer to see the twins grow up to adulthood and family. He was lucky to have Daniel who was always there for him. He must survive and fight for them. Because they are his life, his life.

Rara drowned her face in Daniel's chest. "Never stay because I'm sick. I beg you."

"You're talking, baby. Of course I won't leave you under any circumstances. I promise."

"Maybe you want to find another woman who's not as sick as me." Rara pursed her lips even though her tears were still dripping.

Daniel chuckles at the funny look on Rara's face. He kissed Rara's lips.

"I love you in good health or in pain. In a state of joy or sorrow. There's no other woman in my life, besides you, mommy, and our daughter."
