Love Above the Heart
- Donor -

It was evening when Erick walked into his wife's nursery. He had just finished making a phone call, informing Anna's mother and Gia's family of Gia's current condition.

Erick will ask the doctor about the proposal of Gia's parents who want to be a kidney donor for Gia. However, it is the second choice that Erick will carry out, the first choice of course he will submit himself first in order to donate one kidney for the wife.

Erick looked at his wife who was lying weakly. Erick tried to review the smile when his wife who turned out to be in a state of looking at him also had a smile knot.

"Where?" Gia's voice slowly overshadowed the husband.

Erick approached and sat down in the chair, next to Gia's bed.

"So abis called!" answer Erick briefly. He was actually arranging his heart and arranging his firmness so as not to blow tears in front of Gia's face. Shouldn't Erick be stronger than Gia by now? Gia was sick and Erick couldn't possibly add to his wife's burden. If Gia knew Erick was worried, she wouldn't be calm right now.

"Call who? oh yeah, the doctor said I'm okay, right?" Gia touched Erick's fingers and grabbed them.

Gia felt a tremor in her husband's body, as if Erick was crying silently and without tears. Gia waited for Erick's next reaction and answer, because now he was curious when he got such a response from Erick's body as he grasped the husband's hand.

Erick can't say. He looked up at the ceiling. Withholding tears so as not to spill in front of his wife. He's really weak now. Unable to see his partner have to suffer from disease.

"Hey..sad, why the hell? What's my pain?" Gia demanded an answer to the husband who was more silent than before according to her.

Erick shook his head weakly.

"Dear, you're healthy!" erick's voice shook and it caught Gia's hearing.

Gia grasps Erick's fingers. She knew her husband was lying.

"Is my illness severe?"

"Dear, everything will be fine!"

"Then? what's my pain?"

"The words of your doctor" Erick was unable to continue his sentence, as a drop of his tears fell but he quickly wiped them away.

Gia stared in surprise at Erick, trying to sit down but her efforts were blocked by her husband.

"What do you want?" Ask Erick.

"I want to sit down, I want your explanation!"

Erick took a deep breath while exhaling it. After he neutralized his feelings he finally expressed it as well.

"You have chronic kidney problems" he said weakly.

Gia's eyes seemed to be teary hearing that fact. I don't know what was going through his mind when he found out that he wasn't just an ordinary pain. But, he chose to remain silent as if waiting for Erick's next sentence.

"Doctor said, you can wash your blood but that doesn't mean it's healing! You better have a kidney transplant. The hospital is looking for the most suitable donor. If it's too long, I'll present myself as her donor!" Erick stared intensely at his wife's pale face without a hue.

Silent.

Gia digested the sentence after sentence that Erick had thrown. Gia doesn't want Erick to sacrifice that far and ends up having to live with one kidney. Although he can live a normal life like a person who has two kidneys, but still Gia wants to prevent it.

"Darling, you don't have to be a donor to me! We can wait for the hospital to let you know if there's a donor!" Gia said with a very gentle speech.

Erick shook his head quickly and repeatedly.

"No!" emphatically.

"We're dealing with this together, baby!" continued Erick while gently stroking his wife's cheeks that had been wet from tears.

1 Week later..

"Papak's blood type doesn't match Anggia's, sir. It's a pity that you can't be a donor. In addition, your history of consuming alcoholic beverages also affects the condition of the kidneys, so it is not worth being a donor!" The doctor's words became a hard slap for Erick. He regretted all his foolishness in the past.

"If my wife's parents could be donors?" With heart, Erick finally took the second step that was asked by Mrs Ratih and Anton's father so that they became donors for Gia.

"Depending on Sir, age is also a big influence if you want to be a donor!"

Erick bowed before the woman's doctor. Both of his hands clutching his head that suddenly felt dizzy. Of course, Gia's parents could not have sacrificed, they were aged and better to live healthy. How could Erick burden his two in-laws again. Let them live in good health and Gia should be Erick's responsibility now, Erick thought.

Erick was rubbing his hair a little rough. Ruffling the top of his own head. He looks riled up. Looks like the road is dead. Who else would sacrifice one kidney for his wife.

The four-time room was suddenly hot and sultry, Erick became agitated to imagine his wife had to live with the disease she had suffered for a long time. Erick wants his wife healed.

"That, you have to follow procedure sir! There's queue. It could be a week, a month or even a year or so!" Speak to the doctor with a beautiful face.

"Except-"

"Except what doctor?"

"unless someone willingly does give a special donor to Mother Anggia, then the queue is meaningless. We can have the operation as soon as possible."

Erick massaged his temple and exhaled a rough breath. If so, it is the same that he must find a person who wants to donate a kidney in order to be able to immediately operate. Where there are people who volunteer and specifically give his kidney to Gia. Unless there was a Black Market that specialized in selling human internal organs, Erick would immediately visit him if necessary. Erick's mind started everywhere.

Gia looked at her husband's vexed and passionless face. She squinted at the drastic changes her husband had made during the week. Gia remembers her husband who had been depressed when they were dating. Gia was worried about her husband. Gia was afraid that Erick would collapse if his mind held too much weight like this.

"Where's honey?" Gia asked her husband who was sitting on the sofa, his head he leaned back and looked up at the ceiling of the hospital room.

Erick sighed softly. Gia gets more confused, especially when Erick goes into the nursery, Erick sits next to Gia. Approaching him. But this is not, Erick chose to sit on the sofa. Gia started guessing something must have happened.

Erick shakes. Then he got up near the bed on which his wife was lying.

"I'm sorry, baby!" Erick said as he stroked the back of Kinan's hand.

"I can't be a donor to you!" continued again.

Gia patted the back of Erick's hand with her other hand while putting on a smile.

"It's okay, Yang! Don't think too much. You also need to take care of your health. I don't want us to be sick both!" Gia tried to calm her husband down.

"I feel useless!" erick's voice was shrill and desperate.

Gia shakes.

"With you accompanying me in my worst moments like this, you have been very useful, dear!" Gia stared intensely at her husband's bead eyes, assuring the owner of those eyes that she was also very valuable to Gia and Gia was very grateful for that.

Erick smiled as he damaged the hair on Gia's head.

"I'll do anything for you. You need to be healthy, I want you to be as healthy as you used to be!" Erick kissed his wife with a feeling.

1 Month later..

It was midday, the atmosphere was very cloudy today. It looks like the rain will soon rain on Jakarta. Erick was in the office as usual during rush hour like this.

Before long, the phone rang. He immediately picked up before the call went unanswered.

"really? Is there a donor for my wife, doctor?" Erick Sumringah received his phone call this time. I think he wants to jump for joy.

Erick disconnects the call when it feels finished talking at an important point.

"Who is the donor? Why is this effect like specifically donating to Gia?" Inner Erick. Because he knew for sure, the queue for reception of this kidney is still very much. And in order, it shouldn't be time for Gia to get the donor.
