The Red Thread of Destiny

Chapter 27

"Ma, my ice cream is over." cried Elvan happily.

Samuel and Alenka hurriedly wiped their tears. Because they don't want their kids to know what makes their mom and dad cry. They smiled at Elvan who was running towards them.

"Have you finished your ice cream?" ask Alenka.

"It's dong.." replied Elvan happily.

"You again?" ask Samuel.

Elvan immediately nodded his head. Alenka was against it. "Udah, tomorrow again! You haven't eaten yet, have you? We'd better eat yuk!" bring Alenka.

"Papa invited?" Alenka nodded her head quickly.

"Gaziness.." Elvan jumped up in excitement.

"Pa.. Papa's.. Later after eating, we look at sister yuk!" bring him.

"Sister? Alexa means?" ask Samuel.

"Oh, so my sister's name, Alexa? Yes, I want to see my sister.." Samuel smiled as he gently touched his son's head.

"Yes, we'll go to the hospital with my sister. Alexa's sister must have met you" he said.

No waiting until lunch. Samuel invites Alenka and her son to lunch at Samuel and Alenka's favorite cafe. He wants to re-grow his past story together with Alenka.

For the sake of being able to eat with Alenka and her child. Samuel canceled all meetings. He wants to have more time with Elvan and Alenka.

Waiting for orders. Samuel as usual advanced to the live music scene. He invited his son to come forward with him.

"Why do you want to sing? Can you?" ask Elvan.

"Hm.." Samuel nodded his head.

If he usually just sings. Now Samuel also plays the piano available at the venue. Elvan was amazed by the skill of his papa in playing the instrument. He repeatedly clapped his hands next to his father.

"Gee.. Papa's great.." he cried happily.

"You're my blood successor, the next sign of my struggle, you're my blood successor, my love for the rest of my life..."

Prokkkc.. Prokkkc.. Prokkkc..

"Great father." The praise Elvan kept saying to his papa.

From his place, Alenka's eyes glazed over as she looked at Elvan's happy smile. Just this time he saw his son smiling so happily.

Maybe, all this time actually Elvan missed the figure of his father. But, for the sake of not making Alenka sad. The five-year-old hid his wish.

Samuel returned to his seat holding his son. At the same time, the food they ordered was ready to be eaten.

Elvan's instincts as a child began to come out. He asked his father to bribe him. "I want to be bribed by papa!" said.

"Papa should eat too, El.. Eat alone, usually eat alone." said Alenka.

"No. I want to be bribed papa! If not, I don't want to eat!" sulking. He actually put his food down and did not want to touch the food in front of him.

Not wanting to make your child sad and disappointed. Samuel did what his son wanted. He understood Elvan's childish attitude. Besides because he was a child, maybe because he missed papa's figure all this time.

"Hiyak.. Here's papa bribin.." Samuel lifted the body of his son into his lap.

Samuel himself also missed such a moment. The moment when her children will sulk and wiggle at her feet. Then he will lift them up and hold them and feed their children with affection.

Alenka let her son indulge with her papa. Again he saw the happy smile of his son.

But suddenly, the happy moment became a worrying moment. Because suddenly blood came out of Elvan's nose.

Alenka who saw it first became so anxious. "El diem!" Alenka quickly took a tissue and cleaned up the blood that ran down her son's nose.

Just like Alenka, Samuel also became panicked. He raised Elvan's head so that his blood would not flow.

He quickly drove his car to the hospital. Samuel continued to panic, especially when he saw Alenka who was crying while hugging her son.

"Papa mama don't be sad! I'm okay anyway. Usually if I'm tired also often come out blood like this." said Elvan was sad when he saw papa and his mother panicked and sad.

"Regular?" Alenka wondered. Why didn't he know that his son was used to nosebleeds.

"He ma. If I'm tired, I usually have a nosebleed. But I purposely hid it from my mother because I did not want to see her worried and sad." replied Elvan who increasingly made Alenka cry. He hugged his son even more.

Arriving at the hospital, Samuel immediately took his son to the emergency room. "Please father and mother wait outside!" sister's orders.

Samuel was waiting for the doctor to examine his son. He was impatient and anxious. While Alenka is more into the brakes while muttering prayers for the safety of her child.

"Don't worry! Our son will be fine." said Samuel crouched down in front of Alenka.

"I'm scared, Muel.. I don't have anyone else but him." Alenka started crying.

Samuel then sat down beside Alenka while hugging her. "Our son is strong, he can definitely get through all this!" he said calm Alenka down.

His heart was worried and anxious, too. Afraid of anything happening to her son. They just met.

Shortly thereafter. The doctor came out and asked the two of them to go to his room. "Where is my son doc?" ask Samuel.

"His biological parents' father?" Samuel nodded his head quickly.

"My father had blood cancer. And his condition is getting weaker by the day."

"I want to donate my spinal cord to my son!"

"Brothers sure? But we have to check first, whether it's suitable or not."

"I am ready." replied Samuel confidently.

After completing the procedure. Samuel started to check. However, Samuel's spinal cord was also unsuitable for his son.

Brakk...

"How can it not fit? I'm his biological papa?" Samuel was angry and broke the doctor's desk.

"Muel calm down! We'll take the doctor's advice first!" Alenka held Samuel's hand so Samuel could be more patient.

"But how could Al? I'm the papa.." Samuel was disappointed that he failed to save his son.

Alenka nodded her head small. "We're taking the doctor's advice first!" said it.

"Please doc!" Alenka.

"There is actually one way that can be said to be effective for the cure of blood cancer, namely with the blood of the baby's umbilical cord.. So mom and dad can help your son with his sister Elvan's umbilical cord blood" the doctor said.

Samuel and Alenka looked at each other. Of course it was a dilemma for Alenka. She may have another child with Samuel. Samuel already had a wife.

"So far, blood from the umbilical cord is quite powerful for the treatment of blood cancer" added the doctor.

"Thank you for the advice Doc. We'll think about it again." Alenka immediately walked out of the doctor's office.

Samuel soon followed Alenka. "Al, why should we think again? If that's the way Elvan's healed, why don't we have another baby?" ask Samuel.

Alenka looked at Samuel. He no longer understood what Samuel was thinking. Why did he not think about his wife's feelings at all.

"I didn't expect you to be a man with no heart" Alenka said in annoyance.

"What do you mean?"

"You already have a wife, and your son is being treated at this hospital as well. Can you think of having another baby with me? Where is your heart as a husband?" Alenka was angry and even pushed Samuel.

"I will never break your household for any reason. I'm not gonna have any fun over another woman's grief" Alenka said.
