Turns out I Love You

Blood Test Results

A clear, dripping liquid soaked Bella's white cheeks. He recalled the struggle to defend Hasna when doctors said he had uterine cancer.

"Where were you when Bella risked her life to give birth to your child? where were you when Hasna was sick? where were you when Hasna needed a father figure?"

"And now you've come to blame Bella for Hasna's pain? You should show that question to yourself. Can you please Hasna? have you taken care of Hasna? and can you keep Hasna from getting sick?"

Nando bowed silently justifying Alex's every word.

"Jawab Fuckkk..! Are you also able to take care of Hasna so she doesn't get sick?" alex snapped pushing Nando's shoulder back a few steps.

"You can't answer that, can you?"

Bella was crying. "I'm not really a mom, Alex. He's right, I can't take care of my own daughter. I'm not becus."

Alex turned his head, he hugged Bella's weak body. "No, Bee. You've been trying to take care of Hasna the best you can. You are a great Mother, you are a strong Mother, Hasna is sick not because of your fault but because God loves you and Hasna until God gives this ordeal to you both."

Alex calms Bella who is still crying, she turns back to Nando. His eyes were red, his jaw was hard. "You're doing the same thing, Jhon. Now, don't blame me for taking Bella's heart from you."

Alex and Dimas, the two men were always there from the beginning Bella moved to the city of M. Dimas is in charge of being a taxi driver to deliver wherever Bella goes while keeping Bella. He also works professionally without using the heart.

Alex is tasked with helping Bella teach her martial arts hoping that anything can be fought. Unlike Dimas, Alex uses his heart to make him fall in love with Arabella.

Starting from pity, often meeting, to give rise to the seeds of love. She will do anything for Bella's happiness even if she knows what Bella's life was like.

Alex is also always in times when Bella needs protection, help, she is also in a time when Bella struggles to give birth to her daughter.

******

A few days have passed, Hasna's condition is better than yesterday. Three days ago Hasna had a high fever so it was recommended for hospitalization and now Hasna has begun to be willing to eat a lot.

Bella was so painstakingly feeding her little daughter, she also wiped her daughter's lips using tissue fearing that there was food attached.

"Aaaa one more!" give one remaining bribe. "Aaammm, run out, Hasna's great eating a lot."

"Yes dong, Ma. Hasna wants to go home and eat a lot. Hasna got tired of sleeping here, Hasna misses playing with Papa, misses the streets with Dad."

Bella smilingly keeps the plate on the side table of the bed. He did not want to ruin the princess' happiness even though he did not want to meet Nando but he tried not to show it in front of Hasna.

"If so, his will soon heals, yes." Alex from the entrance.

"Lad..." Hasna was excited to see her Papa coming.

"Papa brought crispy chicken for Hasna," Alex gave a box of chicken to Hasna.

"Papa know if Hasna bosen eat porridge continues, it tastes bad," he replied scowling.

And the door opened again, they turned to see who was coming.

"Dad.." said Hasna smiling to see her real father coming.

Nando returned Hasna's smile to approach him, he had a glance at Bella's face. "He's still cold" she said.

"Said Calista, today the results of the examination came out. We told him to go to the doctor's office" he told Calista of the information he had received.

"Alex.." Bella's face suddenly pale in fear.

******

Calista, who had slipped her face into the folds of her hands on the table, looked up, her eyes as if she was crying. As much as possible he was strong enough to tell his nephew's illness.

"Sir, are you crying?" ask Nando worried.

Calista shook his head, he set his breath then slowly started talking.

"The results of the blood test have come out and can already know the results," Calista paused for a moment.

Bella holds Alex's hand fearing the result is painful. And Alex continues to embrace Bella's shoulder giving strength so that Bella is calmer.

Nando clenched his hand, he took off Alex's hand which was on Bella's shoulder.

"Then what is Hasna's disease?" bella asked worriedly.

"Hasna's...."

"What pain does Hasna have?" nando's insistence.

"Hasna has acute blood cancer or often called acute leukemia" Calista said sadly.

"What?!"

The three of them were shocked, surprised, Bella smothered her mouth in disbelief, a clear liquid seeped down her cheeks.

"Yes, acute leukemia develops quickly and usually affects children aged 3 to 5 years. Symptoms of acute leukemia can be observed early in its development."

"Cancer of the blood occurs due to mutations or changes in genetic properties in white blood cells, so these cells grow uncontrollably."

Calista paused his words again, resetting his breathing. She sees Bella already crying in Alex's arms and Nando looking down on his elbows on the table, his hands holding his head listening to what Calista says.

"Continue, Doc!" let Alex try to calm down and keep rubbing Bella's back.

"Cancer of blood can cause a decrease in red blood cells or erythrocytes. Low red blood cell count can trigger anemia and cause symptoms, and one of them is the face of the child looks pale."

"When suffering from leukemia, white blood cells that function to protect the body from infection increase in number. Even so, these cells do not function normally. This is what causes children to be more susceptible to infection. The usual symptom of infection is fever."

"Children with leukemia are also prone to bleeding. This occurs due to a decrease in platelet count. Low platelet count will interfere with the blood clotting process, so bleeding is easier to occur. Symptoms include easy bruising, bleeding gums, and frequent nosebleeds."

"Pain in the bones and joints is often felt by children who have leukemia. This condition is caused by an abnormal buildup of white blood cells in the area of the joints."

"In addition to joint pain, blood cancer in children can also affect the thymus gland. Because it is located in the neck, swelling in this gland can suppress the respiratory tract and make children difficult to breathe. Difficulty breathing can also occur due to a buildup of abnormal cells in the blood vessels of the lungs."

"When abnormal cells accumulate in the liver, kidneys, or spleen, those organs will swell and compress other organs. This condition can cause abdominal pain and discomfort. In children with leukemia, their appetite often decreases as a result of swelling of the organ."

"White blood cells in children who have leukemia also often accumulate in the lymph nodes. This can cause swelling in the gland. The symptoms can be a lump in the neck, chest, armpits, or groin," Calista explains, shedding tears.

"It was all in Hasna. Hasna..he.." he said faltering unable to say anymore.

"Alex, Hasna...my daughter.... Why did this happen to her father, Lex? ke..why am I not the only one sick? why does God always give this much to me and Hasna, Lex? why..?" Bella is hysterical in Alex's arms.

Seriate....
