My wife's the General's son
Anxiety of Joseph

Joseph let the little baby sleep well, he immediately went to the bathroom to clean himself up. After the bath, he returned to leave his son to his mother.

"Well, are you leaving again?" asked the pitying Mama to see the tired face of the Son, as if the man had never rested quietly, never even slept well. The burden of Joseph's mind was really so heavy, plus the task of the state that always urged his presence to complete the work that had been delayed.

"Yes, Ma, I'll take Rizqi. Later that night I want to see my friend who is at the police station. I wanted to ask him for help in finding a donor for Tiara," Yusuf explained, he tried to stay strong.

"Well, son, you're patient, may your efforts be Lillah."

"Aamiin, thank you for Do'a Mama who always accompanied my steps and also for my little family." Joseph kissed the back of the hand of the woman who had given birth to him, then left the residence of his parents to return to the hospital.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Yusuf immediately headed to Tiara's ward, where he saw Tiara being fed by his mother. Joseph approached them.

"Ma, let me feed Tiara, Mama go home for a break. Tiara let me take care," said Yusuf take over the porridge bowl in the hands of the woman who is also very meritorious and full of patience in taking care of the only daughter of his puppet.

"But, Son..."

"It's okay, Ma, I'm fine. Mama go home, Mama must rest so that Mama does not follow the pain like me," replied Tiara, holding the hand of the Mama.

"Alright, you have to eat a lot yes, you have to be eager to heal. Tomorrow morning Mama will be here again." Finally the middle-aged woman followed the advice of her son and daughter-in-law. He also needs a short rest, considering his age is not young anymore, of course susceptible to disease if not enough rest.

After Mama came home, Yusuf occupied the chair beside the patient's bad. He returned to his wife patiently.

"Mas, have you eaten yet?" tiara asked trying to swallow the food in her mouth. Although it felt very bitter, but she had to be excited, she did not want her husband's hard efforts to be in vain.

"Not yet, honey, later. After you eat, I'll find some food in the cafeteria. Now you finish the meal, yes" said Joseph directing the spoon containing the porridge into the mouth of the Tiara.

Tiara simply nodded, she was trying to finish her meal. However, his stomach felt nauseous, as if he could not store much food that entered.

"Already, Mas, I'm full," Tiara refused to hold the spoon that led to her mouth.

"But, this is a little more, dear, this one more time yes," said Joseph a little forcefully.

"No way, Mom, my stomach's already feeling nauseous."

"Okay, it's a drink first." Joseph gave his wife a bottle of mineral water that already had a straw. Tiara immediately accepted and spent half of it.

"Mas, Rizqi how's it going? Is he fussy?" she asked, she missed her baby so much.

"Thank God she's healthy, and Mama said no fuss at all, the baby was so understanding. You don't have to worry, Rizqi is fine with Mama."

Tiara just nodded her head in understanding, even though she really missed her son, but she had to keep her spirit to heal.

The night after Isya, Yusuf tells Tiara to meet with his friend who works at the police station hospital, he is a surgeon. The man hoped his friend could help.

"Darling, I'm leaving for a while huh, you don't pa-pa I'm staying for a while, right?" yusuf asked as he kissed Tiara on the forehead.

"No pa-pa, Mas. Be careful."

"Yes, honey, I'll go first. If you need to call me."

Tiara simply nodded, Joseph immediately walked out of the room. He must try to get his wife healed soon, whatever it is, will not dampen his spirit to always try.

The man looked very carefully observing the results of the HLA (Human Leukocyte antigen) examination. His forehead looked wrinkled.

"Suf, the results of examining bone marrow samples are very rare, so it is very difficult to get it if not with your own siblings, such as father, brother, or younger brother. However, we will still try to help to find it" Andre explained to Joseph.

"Joseph looked pensive as he listened to Andre's explanation, but he did not want to be discouraged, Joseph believed that if God had intervened, nothing would be impossible.

"Thank you, Ndre, I really hope to get it soon."

"Let us pray that God will give us ease."

"Aami... Thanks again, then I'll go back to the hospital, because my wife can't stay for long." Joseph said goodbye to his friend.

"Alright, may Tiara get well soon. Sorry I haven't come to see you. Because I just heard from you tonight."

"Yes, it's okay, Ndre. I'll take care of you." The two friends shook hands with each other, and Joseph left Andre's residence and returned to the hospital.

For one week, there has been no news from any RS that has been asked for help to find donors. Perhaps as Andre said, the donors needed by Tiara were very rare.

This morning Joseph had to apple in the morning, as usual, so the one who would look after Tiara was his mother. When the man was neatly dressed in official clothes, Tiara suddenly had a seizure.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? Deck, relax!" Joseph hugged his wife's body, but it grew stiffer. Joseph immediately ran out to call the Doctor.

"Doctor! Doctor! Doc, help my wife, she's having a seizure, Doc."

"What! A seizure?" The doctor immediately went into Tiara's nursery, then examined Tiara's body condition. The doctor immediately pressed the button next to the bad patient to call the nurse.

Two nurses came in and immediately moved Tiara over the gurney, and they took Tiara to the ICU.

Joseph who wants to work, is no longer interested. He was so anxious and upset. His heart is broken. Meanwhile, her mother-in-law had shed tears.

"Yusuf, what happened? Why did Tiara get a seizure? Hicks..."

"I don't know either, Ma. We're praying yes, hope Tiara is okay."

Joseph and his mother-in-law waited in front of the ICU. The doctor finally came out of the room.

"Dok, how's my wife doing?" joseph asked so worriedly.

"Let's come to my room."

Joseph immediately followed the doctor's steps to enter his room. Upon his arrival, the doctor invited Joseph to sit down.

"Look, Mr. Yusuf, Ms. Tiara can't wait anymore, we have to get the donor immediately, before the next two days. The cause of Tiara's mother having a seizure is, Because cancer cells attack blood vessels, and other organs. Like nausea, bone pain, and loss of muscle control."

Joseph's heart stopped. What he should do. The man was completely confused and for a moment his brain was as dull as if it could not think.

Seriate....
