"So her immune system's in her body, attacking the platelets she's got?"
Marvin asked Dean who was handling Edgar. At this time Edgar's condition was quite stable and he had placed a VVIP room.
"Yes, his immune system thinks that the red blood cells he has are foreign." Dean explained to Marvin.
The 36-year-old was also hit. Because the immune system and red blood cells or platelets, are two things that are equally important for the body.
Marvin took a breath.
"What was his name?" ask the man to Dean.
"Idiopatic Thrombocytopenyic Purpura." replied Dean.
"Is this healing?" Marvin asked again.
"For acute cases, it can. But your son is chronic."
Marvin's world is collapsing. Although he was new to Edgar and did not yet have a strong inner bond with the child. But his heart was so broken.
"So you mean?" Marvin's voice was stuck in his throat.
"Right now his body is still responding to the well-delivered medicine. And that shouldn't be a big deal. As long as the cure is still effective and Edgar himself can lead a healthy lifestyle."
"You mean, the cure can't work anymore?" ask Marvin later.
Dean nodded.
"If the medicine doesn't work?" Marvin kept asking.
"Yes, we're forced to have splenectomy or spleen organ removal" Dean replied.
"The jungle?" Marvin was surprised to hear all this.
"Didn't every person whose spleen was removed, his immune system would be compromised?" closed again. Because he had accidentally read an article about it on google.
"Yes, because the spleen produces white blood cells to fight infection. If the spleen is removed, a person's body will be susceptible to infection."tukas Dean.
Marvin's really jolly this time. It was as if both of his legs were no longer climbing the place where he was now.
"What's the cause of this, Dean?" For the umpteenth time he asked.
"It could be due to a viral infection, or due to congenital autoimmune disease."
Marvin closed his eyes while sighing. Moments later he was seen visiting the room where Edgar was being treated.
The teenager's face was not so pale as before, but there are still remnants when considered further.
"Are you ok?" marvin asked the teenager. Edgar nodded weakly. Marvin pulled out a chair and sat down beside the boy.
"Why don't you tell me papa, if you're sick?" ask her later.
"Edgar thought it was because Edgar had been doing well for some time now" replied the teenager.
"It's okay not to get fully healed, right?. You should tell papa, so that if there is anything can be given action quickly and appropriately" said Marvin again.
Edgar silent.
Soon Dean entered with the nurse to check on the condition of the teenager.
***
In office.
Dinda and Kinan looked uneasy, because Marvin had no news at all until this moment. Usually if it does not enter, there is a notification from the information section of the room.
"Where's sir?. You're not coming in?"
Dinda wanted to send the message but hesitated. Because the effect is so kepo on the existence of the boss. He was afraid Marvin became uncomfortable and finally did not like the attitude he gave. But he was very curious about the existence of that handsome man.
Not seeing Marvin just for a day, it felt like a need that failed to be met. Given they have an inner bond, according to Dinda's version. They slept together several times.
Kinan looked troubled. He was more willing to send a message to Marvin, because he was confident that he was Marvin's love of death.
"Where are you?. Not in?"
He forgot to call Marvin "Father." So he wanted to know the existence of his affair.
As for Edgar himself, Marvin's treatment reminded him of Edward. He wanted to cry at that moment because he remembered his adoptive father.
But all of that he endured very hard. Considering he was also taught quite hard by Edward during this time.
"Why not work?" Edgar suddenly asked Marvin.
"Why?. You're not comfortable with having papa here?" Marvin asked back.
Edgar was quite surprised to see the response from his father.
"Edgar nanya, why be widened to something else" said the teenager.
Marvin was silent and watched Edgar. He wanted to find honesty in the eyes of his son.
"Sorry, papa is used to being suspicious first of all about other people. That's why papa is always safe from the bad guys." he said later.
"No answer is fine" said Edgar while taking water and drinking it up to half.
"Koq you become kayak nambek so no papa answered."
Marvin really looks like a Junior High kid arguing with his playmates. He was very different from Edward who was firm, loving, mature, and able to respond to everything with a cold head.
"You think, how would you like to work if you're sick like this?"
Edgar looked at Marvin.
"We just got to know. Papa shouldn't worry too much about Edgar."
"Yeah!"
Marvin placed the bowl of porridge in his hand on the side table with great emphasis, until it made a sound. He did it all with eyes that were still looking into the eyes of the child.
"You underestimated papa's concern for you. Papa also wants not to care so much about you. But papa also does not understand why suddenly papa like this."
Marvin said with emotion, before long he immediately left the room. When he walked out the door he found Dean, who was standing in the face while crossing his arms around his chest.
"Gue took everything" Dean told Marvin.
"Lo can't be as emotional as facing him" he continued.
"Yes, you can hear what he said. How not offended try." said Marvin fiery.
"Bro, remember how old you are and how much he is. Lo father, he's a kid you just met after he grew up. Understand the situation first." Dean said in a very calm tone.
Marvin is silent.
"Gue just wants to try to be nice" he said later.
Dean took a long breath.
"Patiently, he nodded. You've only been living at home for a few days. It's natural that your relationship is not as good as father and son in general." said the doctor again.
Marvin is starting to get his emotions down. Soon Dean went inside and he also advised Edgar.
"Edgar can't be like papa. He tried so hard to accept you."
Edgar silent. From the door Marvin could hear all that.
"Edgar kangen papa, um."
The teenager nodded while bowing. Dean sat down on the side of the bed and watched.
"Om know." replied the man later.
"But he won't come back" he continued.
Edgar looked at the doctor with teary eyes.
"Om know this hurts. But the only way to keep your papa quiet in nature, you have to live well. You don't make him feel guilty for leaving you."
Edgar was back down.
"I think you understand what you're saying" said the man once again, and again Edgar could only be silent.
