RAQILLA
CHAP 18 - THALASSEMIA

Mamah and Papah Qilla followed the doctor with a restless feeling. They feel something bad is going to happen.

Tap Tap Tap

Arriving in a room that looks foreign, very neat for the size of a man, minimalist but comfortable to live in. Anyone would be happy to stay in this room.

"Please sit down father mother," said the doctor, call it Doctor David.

"Thank you Doc" said papah Qilla firmly, typical of a father-father.

"Did your father or mother have a previous hereditary disease?" ask Dr. David with a serious look. It seems like this matter is not easy to deal with.

Papah Qilla was shocked to hear the doctor's statement, because only he and his wife knew that he had a hereditary disease.

"I have Thalassemia Dok," honestly papah Qilla, does his son also have the disease? but how this can happen, the age of Qilla is currently not even 11 years while he got the news that he had this disease when he was 21 years old.

"Just like my father, Qilla had the disease. But the current condition of Qilla is quite serious. In addition to suffering from Thalassemia, there is light damage to the head due to a fairly hard impact. This will interfere with the patient's brain growth, so it is likely that the father or mother does not quickly understand something for children his age" explained Dr. David.

"What do we need to do Doc for our child to heal?" tanya papah Qilla remained calm, while mamah Qilla was unable to say anything. His body was limp, not expecting this to happen to his only puppet princess.

"Unfortunately, until now Thalassemia has not been cured sir. So, prevention that can be done is by routine blood transfusions that will be done every month until he grows up," said Dr. David.

"Is there no other way Doc?" mamah Qilla said, he could not see his only daughter with this disease and had to continue to do blood transfusions.

"We advise the father and mother to do treatment abroad because it can be ascertained that the treatment there is much more adequate, the possibility of the patient's disease can be cured in total," said Dr. David gave new hope. Mamah Qilla was relieved, there were other ways to cure her daughter's illness.

"Well Doc" said papah Qilla smiling with relief.

"For now, patients need to undergo intense treatment for approximately 2-3 days to find out the condition of the patient further," explained Dr. David.

"Can we now visit our son Doc?" asked Papah Qilla with a pleading look, he wanted to see the condition of his daughter. At least he knew his daughter was okay.

"Of course I can, let me show you the way" said Doctor David kindly.

They walked down the aisle with Doctor David in front as a guide as they walked, so many people greeted the handsome Doctor. Looks like Doctor David is quite popular among the Doctors.

"Please enter the father of the mother," said Doctor David. Mamah and Papah Qilla entered the room, they saw the figure of a small child with long brown hair was sleeping soundly in front of them. His face was pale with an infusion attached to his tiny hand.

Why did Qilla still faithfully close her two beautiful eyes? Is his condition worsening?

"Patients are under the influence of drugs, about 2-3 hours patients will soon wake up," said Doctor David as if knowing what they are thinking.

"Well, thank you Doc," replied papah Qilla with gratitude, he was relieved his daughter was fine. But something stuck in his mind, what was it?

Cringe Cringe

The ringing of one's cell phone rang loudly, filling one room. Looks like the owner of the phone forgot to turn off the tone of his phone.

"Well, please take care of our son first. Papah wants to pick up the phone" said Qilla papah holding the wife's hand gently.

Papah Qilla went out to pick up the call, he saw the name on his phone screen.

"Hello Agra, how are you?" ask Papah Qilla without changing the look on his face.

"Well, I heard your son was in an accident. Is that news true?" asked Agra, does anyone know who Agra is? Agra is the papah of the representative or what we often call Kiev. The Kiev family is famous for its medical and psychological prowess. So no wonder, Kiev is also very proficient in medicine and psychological science.

"Who are you forgetting about your best friend?" ask Agra (the Kiev Papah), even though they are currently talking by phone. Aaron (the father of Qilla) knows that from behind the phone Agra is smiling narcissistically. It turns out the narcissistic nature of Kiev he has from Agra.

Aaron (the father of Qilla) just silently ignored the chattering of Agra (the father of Arsen).

"The bottom line is that I can cure your child's illness" Agra said confidently.

"Agra, I'm not kidding" Aaron said, thinking it was just Agra's booze, as if he had forgotten that his narcissistic friend was a doctor. In fact, he had already discovered various kinds of rare medicines that had never been found before. Great right? Agra that loh, well start again narcissistic.

"You forgot that this friend of yours is the greatest doctor in history?" agra said exaggerating. Aaron realizes one thing that this accursed friend of his is a Doctor. How could he forget that?

"Alright, I leave Qilla to you" said papah Qilla firmly.

"What will I get?" the word papah Kiev raised next to his eyebrows.

"The Rossler family stock is 5%" said Qilla without hesitation.

"Alright I agree, happy to work with you," said papah Kiev happy, because the stock given Aaron (papah Qilla) is not playing games. Of course Agra will accept it with pleasure.

"Don't tell anyone about our conversation today" Papah Qilla said with emphasis.

"Calm down Aaron, this conversation is only between us," he said firmly, there is no profit for him also to expand their talks. He also knows the limits, whoever dares to tease Aaron. It won't survive.

"I will give you the news as soon as possible about your son's treatment" said the Kiev papah.

"Tomorrow" said papah Qilla firmly.

"Alright," said the Kiev resigned papah, did not dare to refuse.

Tut

Papah Qilla turned off the phone unilaterally, while from across there was someone who swore Aaron (the father of Qilla).

No thank you, it's good to help. An accuser friend, could have a model friend like this.

"Who is pah?" ask mamah Qilla possessively.

"Agra mah," replied the gentle Qilla papah. Yes this is how Aaron, outside he will look cold while with his wife and child, he will turn soft and loving.

Cringe Cringe

The ringing of someone's phone rang, but this time the sound was not from Aaron's phone but Athena's (mamah Qilla) phone.

"Hello" said Mama Qilla.

"How is Qilla doing? Is she okay?" ask someone from behind a cell phone.

Thalassemia disease: This hereditary disease is a disease that attacks the red blood cells of the sufferer. This condition makes the hemoglobin in the red blood cells of the sufferer reduced, so that oxygen is difficult to circulate throughout the body. Most children born with a weight die at birth. In some cases, children who have thalassemia can live, but are very susceptible to anemia, so they often need.
