The Destiny
Assistance

Rachel propped up her chin, she felt bored because she had waited too long for someone who wanted to meet her outside.

The woman drank her avocado juice until it ran out.

Not long after, the sound of bells ringing from the entrance, Rachel turned her head, she smiled, finally the woman she was waiting for came too.

Rachel waved her hand towards Ana,

"Sister, here!" Calling Rachel, the summoned woman stepped closer to Rachel's desk.

"Sorry to keep you waiting a long time." Said Ana, his face looks sorry, he accidentally came late and made his half sister who was pregnant must wait for him long.

"No problem." Rachel.

"Have you ordered any food?" Ask Ana.

"Em, I've."

"It looks like you waited a long time huh." Said Ana while showing her guilty face.

"It doesn't matter, brother, I'm fine."

"But your baby—."

"He's fine, he seems to like waiting for you too." Rachel's Canda.

"Sorry."

"Don't keep apologizing. Let's just say, why did you ask me to meet you here?" Ask Rachel.

Ana was silent for a moment, she reassured herself that this was the right choice.

The girl then pulled out the operation approval letter from inside her bag, then she gave it to Rachel.

Rachel accepted it, she began to read it carefully. The first word she read was surgery, making the pregnant woman widen her eyes.

"Operation?"

Ana nodded weakly, she did not have the courage to look at Rachel, her tears as if they could fall at any time, her hands wiping the corners of her eyes occasionally. Honestly, he hated this kind of situation.

"What disease is it? Is it that bad? Since when? Sis! Tell me."

Rachel holds Ana's hand, hoping that her care and worry can channel her passion into Ana.

"Lung collapse, pneumothorax." Answer Ana.

"What is a dangerous disease?"

"It can be said that. Because— when symptoms are not treated immediately, over time can be tension pneumothorax. A person who has tension pneumothorax, within two to five minutes, if there is no proper first aid, it can lead to death." Ana.

"How did that happen to you, brother? Why is it suddenly like this?!" Rachel looked at Ana sadly.

"It was because of an accident I had when I was a kid."

"Accident?"

"That day should have been me, my dad, my mom, and Kenan going to the tree park as usual. But— because I was too excited and did not listen to my mother's words, I crossed the street by myself and was hit by a car, at that time my condition was very severe, he said, I had a brain injury and a rib fracture that caused my lungs to collapse." Ana replied while lowering her head. The girl was trying to hide her sobs.

Rachel was sad to see Ana who looked desperate like this, it felt like her heart was slashed by a sharp knife.

Really, Rachel doesn't believe why God gives a tough test of life to a woman as good as Ana.

"If it happened long enough, why is it happening to you again?" Rachel.

The girl said it accompanied by her sobs.

"Don't cry. I'm the one who's sick why you're the one who's crying like that" said Ana.

"I'm worried. I'm so scared of losing you, brother." Rachel.

"Thank you for caring about me."

"Then— what can I do to help you?"

"Signature, I want you to be my guardian to approve the operation I'm about to undergo." Ana.

"So I mean brother— dad and Kenan they— don't know?"

Ana shook her head and smiled wryly, in fact she was eager to tell, but she also did not want to see the two men feeling the same sadness as back then.

"You don't intend to tell them this?"

"No, they'll just be hysterical like you. I'm so sorry to tell you, sorry. I don't know if you're gonna be like this."

"Don't be sorry for telling me, I'm grateful that you trust me to share your hardships."

Rachel wiped away Ana's tears, she smiled her smile, giving support and encouragement to her stepbrother.

Ana smiles back at him, she is also grateful to be able to get care from Rachel, finally she can undergo surgery without many people knowing.

"I'll sign the surgical approval letter, I'll also accompany you when you have that surgery."

"Thank you." A fragrant smile was engraved on Ana's face.

"I should've helped you, so please don't feel guilty." Rachel said, Ana replied with a nod of her head.

"So, did you decide the date?"

"Not yet— but I've thought about it."

"The guy knows?"

"No, no one knows but you. Rachel, can you promise me not to tell anyone this?"

"I promise, believe me, no one will know, but that's as long as the operation goes well and you'll be healthy again."

"That means, in the end you'll tell them."

"Kak— try brother think, if the operation is not good, and it— it— ah! I can't stand to say it. In essence, those who love you will feel guilty, they will blame themselves."

Ana bit her lower lip, she couldn't deny it, what Rachel said was true, they would blame themselves.

"Alright, but just when it happens, you tell them."

"Yes, I promise."

Ana looked at Rachel with a grateful smile, she was finally able to calm down without having to feel confused again because of the signature.

"Thank you Rachel, thank you." Ana muttered while hugging her half sister.
