The New Chapter Of My Life

Episode 87 What Happened to Al

The night before going to bed, Dona finally told him about Al's problems at school.

" She, we've been tyrannical to the children."

" sthat mean?? "

" We are both too busy with our business, making us forget to accompany and guide the children. We assume they are adults, can solve their problems, their schoolwork without us asking, " replied Dona while shedding tears.

" We owe time to the kids, Mas. The peak today, it turns out that Al did not do much of his schoolwork, his daily replay value was far below KKM, all red. But that's not how, during this time at school, Al did not socialize much with his friends, he was a lot of aloof, until finally he was often teased by his friends. Said spoiled child, like a woman, until finally he could not stand the bully-an his friend. So this afternoon, Al hit 2 of his classmates. Thank God they had no bruises on his arm. And his homeroom teacher had punished the 2 children, for their behavior towards Al. Al did not get a penalty, only the warning was replaced with an improvement in the value of the task and daily repetition only. "

Khalis was just silent listening to Dona crying while telling a story. He hugged Dona tightly without saying anything, because he finally realized his negligence towards his son.

" Business can be put off, business can be repeated, but the opportunity with children only once, we can not turn back the time. They need us, Mom. Not to mention that behind us often conflicts due to business, I'm sure they can feel our cold war. But they can't express their sadness or frustration, because we're too busy chasing the world. "

Khalis remained silent and this time he also shed tears of regret.

Starting that night, Khalis and Dona spent a lot of time at home, accompanying Alta to play and tell each other. Not infrequently he spent time on weekends, just alone with his youngest son.

From watching sports games, cycling to exchanging stories.

Until one day, suddenly after school, Al bleed quite a lot from his nose.

Dona immediately stopped the bleeding with gauze that was always available in the P3K box at her home.

" Al why?? head hurt?? " ask Dona.

" Slight Ma'am. But usually if I have a headache, I don't get a nosebleed. "

" Al often have headaches?? "

" Sometimes ma'am, usually by day, but never by night. "

" Why did Al ga tell?? "

" It only hurts a little, Mom, it's getting better for a while" Al replied with a smile.

" Al, you have to tell mom that you're sick, even if it hurts a little. "

Dona checks Al's body, and then he finds some bruises on Al's body.

" Why is this al?? you fell?? or why?? "

" You know, I didn't fall, but suddenly there was a blue-blue one. But it'll disappear on its own, ma'am."

Dona felt something was wrong with the condition of his son's body, so he decided to check Al into the hospital that day.

After Maghrib, Khalis and Dona checked Al into a paediatrician at the international hospital where Dona used to be treated when ill.

" What is the complaint?? " ask doctor Asih, the pediatrician who examined Al.

" So home from school all of a sudden Al nosebleed, quite a lot of blood. Then when I asked, he said he had quite frequent nosebleeds. I also examined her body, I found some bruises on her body, like this Doc "clearly Dona while showing bruises on Al's arms and legs.

" What is his weight?? " ask the doctor.

" It seems a bit down Doc, his appetite is also seen to be reduced" replied Dona.

" Alta gets dizzy a lot ?? "

" Yes, Doc. "

" Like tired too?? "

" Yes, Doc."

" Go up to the bed check first ya."

The Asih doctor examined Al closely, from head to toe.

The Asih Doctor sighed then,

" We test blood first, I suspect a certain disease, but we make sure first with a complete blood test "

Al was taken to a laboratory for blood sampling. Khalis and Dona accompanied the frightened Al when his blood samples were taken.

" Mother or Father please hold the child, ga papa" said the nurse who read the fears of Al and the concerns of Khalis and Dona.

Dona took Al and whispered the verses of the Qur'an to appease him.

The syringe went into his veins, the pain was felt by Al, until he finally cried. As a mother, Dona also felt the pain felt by her son, especially she knew how the pain was taken blood, especially Al was still small.

Dona rubbed her son's head, until her crying subsided.

After 1 hour, the results came out and they returned to the check room.

" I'm sorry sir, ma'am, but it looks like my suspicions are correct. My father and mother's son are suffering from leukemia. "

The world of Khalis and Dona suddenly collapsed hearing the results of the doctor's diagnosis.

Doctor Asih read out the results of Al blood tests and explained the meaning one by one. But Dona could not listen well to the explanation of the Asih doctor, tears soaked both cheeks.

His hand held tightly to Al's body, as did Khalis who felt things that were not much different from Dona.

" So I asked my son and mother to be treated intensively in the hospital. Alhamdulillah is still an early stage, so in shaa Allah there are still many opportunities for healing. "

" Father and Mother need not worry, leukaemia is found in many children, with proper intensive care, in shaa Allah can be cured, " continued Asih doctor who read anxiety on Khalis and Dona as parents.

" I ordered an intensive care room today as well, " said Dr Asih.

The Asih doctor then contacted the inpatient section, to inquire about the availability of existing rooms.

" Sir, from the inpatient section, there are empty rooms in VIP, Super VIP and Suite rooms "

" Super VIP only, " replied Khalis in a slightly quivering voice.

Dona recalled the times when she had to be treated intensively when she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Her mother had prepared all the possibilities, so she had prepared Dona's clothes in the suitcase.

Dona did the same thing, before he had prepared Al and himself clothes, for the possibility of Al being treated at the hospital.

Al was then picked up in a wheelchair to the treatment room, while Khalis completed the hospital administration first before following up to the treatment room where Al would be treated.

Al's face seemed confused and a little frightened, making Dona ask that he can hold Al in a wheelchair.

" Al calm yes, Al the same Mother, we go for a walk in a wheelchair" said Dona while hugging the flower.

Arriving at the treatment room, Al was approached by a nurse to install a patient's bracelet and infusion hose.

" Mumuu, how did I get injected again??? buuu sick, "al protest while crying.

" I'm sorry, honey, but it's a cure for Al. Mother used to have an infusion hose. Al wants to be healthy, right?? nurut yaa, mother of Temenin Al kok. "

Hugging her son, Dona has to watch the needle go into Al's tiny body repeatedly, making her stand out and shed her tears again.

Khalis feels the same sadness, but he does not want Dona to see him sad, because as a husband, he wants to protect his family, his children and his wife. Even if he could, he wanted to transfer Al's pain to him.

For that before he followed his son to the treatment room, he calmed himself in the bathroom and then headed to the mosque to pray Isha.

The shadow of a sick Nadia reappeared in his memory. After all these years he could forget the pain, but at this moment he had to feel it again.
