DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
the Part 196
The sirens from the ambulance were heard on our way to the hospital. Axel is being handled by a nurse, he is assisted with a breathing apparatus and also a heart detection device. Sounds weak. It was painful to see his own son lying helplessly like this.
Axel, mama please. Be strong, Son!
We traveled for a while, until we arrived at the largest hospital in the city. Axel was brought down, then his vault was pushed into the ER room. During that time I stared at Axel's face that was closed. My little hands I did not let go at all. The doctor took Axel in, he told me to wait outside. Then the door is closed.
I saw it from the glass window, but nothing was seen from there, blocked by the white curtain inside.
Devan, just arrived with Gio behind him. They were very worried and asked Axel's situation. Gio looked annoyed and also full of anger, heard him curse the father.
"Axel's inside, Dev. The doctor's working on Axel!"
"Gio!" I call him. He stopped kicking the wall in front of him. Staring at me with eyes full of annoyance and anger.
"Gio. Already, son. Your legs will hurt!" I pulled him and hugged him. His breathing was rough, his chest was up and down, the rustling in his teeth was clearly heard by me.
"If I wasn't the same as you, Axel wouldn't be hurt!" regrettable.
"Hey, don't say it like that. Don't blame yourself, son!"
"But because of you, Axel got sick, ma'am!" he pushed me and looked at me. "If only we could escape, if only you hadn't threatened us..."
"Already, son. Axel will be fine! Yes already!" my spoken. Yeah, I hope Axel's okay!
"Punish him, ma'am! I don't care about you anymore, Father! Even if you're sentenced to death, that's better! You can't hurt anyone else anymore! You can't do evil anymore!" he said furiously.
"Yes, there will be a payoff!" my spoken. I rub his back, he grimaces in pain.
I just remembered. Gio was also injured!
"Let me take Gio to see the doctor!" Devan's coming towards us. But Gio shook his head.
"I'll wait for Axel!"
"Gio." I aligned myself with Gio. "Bring your wounds, son. Don't let the wound become an infection!" He kept shaking his head. Stay put and wait for Axel to wake up.
"Mother please, son!"
"But I don't want to get out of here, ma'am!"
"But you want to be treated?" this time he nodded. "Wait here for a second!"
"Dev, I'm looking for a nurse to treat Gio!" Devan nodded. Although I also don't want to leave Axel, but I also can't ignore Gio. I went looking for a nurse, and then went back to the waiting room in front of the ER room with the nurse who had already brought the medicine box.
Gio and the nurse were sitting in the waiting chair, he was cleaning his wounds with alcohol. Red streaks of belt-scratch marks were clearly visible on his back, red, some bleeding. He simply bit his lower lip, and gripped the back of the chair, enduring the pain. She grimaced in pain but she did not cry at all. Sometimes he looked towards the door of the room where Axel was. He's a strong boy. Finished in the clean and then the nurse apply the ointment on his back.
What kind of father would hurt his own son?
The nurse told us after treating Gio. We thanked him.
Devan opened his suit and gave it to Gio. The clothes are not worth wearing, torn and dirty. Gio just stared at the door that kept closing. Eyes glazed. I approached him and hugged him.
"Axel must have survived, right, ma'am?" ask Gio.
"Surely, son. Just pray!" Instantly the cry of Gio that he had been holding broke instantly. Gio cried so much, sobbing apologizing to me. I hugged him tightly.
"Mom, if anything happens to Axel, just give him my heart, ma'am! I love Axel, I love you too. Just take my heart and give it to Axel! Please!" hearing him talk like that, I started crying too. So much care Gio had for Axel that he could talk like that!
"I don't have anyone else, Mom. I don't want a bad father like him. I better give my heart to Axel. He's got good parents. I don't want my mom and dad to be sad. Just give it to me, ma'am. I'm willing!" she was crying in my arms. A nine-year-old said something like that, I think it's amazing!
Devan sat on the other side of Gio. He embraced us both.
"I'm sorry, sir! Sorry!" gio said to Devan. Devan just smiled and shook his head.
Before long Leon comes, he's with Nanda behind him. Devan gets up and receives the shirt he told Leon to bring for Gio and Axel.
"Anye! How's Axel doing?" ask Nanda. I stood up and slammed into his arms.
"Don't know. Axel's still inside. The doctor's not out yet!" I said in between tears. Nanda rubbed my head slowly.
"Axel must be fine!" said it. Hopefully, Nan. Hopefully!
We sat down in the waiting chair, staring back at the door that was about to open.
After a while, the doctor came out too. We all went to the doctor to ask about Axel. The doctor said Axel was in trouble and had to have surgery. Because of something that made the bleeding in Axel's former surgery last time.
"Is there a suitable donor? It would be best if Axel got a new heart, given Axel's current critical state!" ask the doctor.
"Let me, Doctor!" Gio ran towards us.
"Please get my heart out, give it to Axel!" He said, still crying. The doctor looked at me confused.
"Dik, listen! Heart donors are not arbitrary we take the heart of a living person! After all, the heart of the person who will die will not necessarily also match Axel!..." And the doctor explained lightly for Gio to understand. Gio lowered his head in sadness after hearing the explanation from the doctor.
"Then I have to how to keep Axel safe?" Nanda stroked Gio's shoulder.
"Can't we have a temporary operation until we find the heart?" My toot. The doctor looked at the long breath. I think I know what the doctor is thinking.
Leon ran towards us, and gave his phone to Devan. Devan put the object in his ear, then walked a little away from us. His face turned serious and then smiled a little. He soon approached me.
"Doctor, if Axel is brought to Singapore, is he strong?" devan asked the doctor. "We've found a heart donor suitable for Axel, but it's in Singapore!"
The doctor smiled and nodded, "We'll see Axel's condition after the surgery!" then the doctor excused me to go back to check on Axel.
"Really Dev?" I just can't believe it.
"Yes, finally. After all these years of searching, Axel will definitely recover after getting a new heart!"
I hugged Devan, crying. Axel won't be in pain anymore. At last...
I released myself from Devan and looked at Gio who was still looking down wiping the water in the corner of his eyes.
"You heard Gio, there's no need to sacrifice your heart for Axel, just take care of him with all your soul!" my spoken. Gio nodded.
"Good, mom. I promise, I'll take care of Axel at any time." he said between his whim.
"From now on, call us mama and papa, just like Axel! You're our son, right?" he looked at me with increasingly teary eyes. Gio hugged me tightly.
"Thanks, mama. Papa!" said Gio.
