When Love Should Determine
Chapter 65

It had been a year since Larissa had managed to buy a piece of land in the opposite village. Now he also intends to build a residence on it.

Larissa never thought she would build a house. He bought the land as an investment. But seeing the attitude of Bu Ani who is getting more and more clearly hostile to himself, he finally decided to make his own home. Moreover, he did not want to see the husband and mother continue to fight. He was so ashamed of that.

But Larissa experienced an inner war before committing her intention. That is because he often experiences pain that is very much in his air. To make his memory return to the events of a few years ago.

When Larissa was seventeen years old, she was diagnosed with an enlarged mammary gland disease, or in medical terms known as Fibroadonema mammae. This disease belongs to the category of benign tumors and is not too dangerous. But if left for a long time the lump will get bigger and damage the surrounding tissue.

Larissa learned of the bump when she was thirteen, a year after her first period. But because of the lack of knowledge of tumor disease, making him ignore and assume the lump is only due to changes in body shape as a teenager only. Where at that age women do experience changes in body shape that is so striking. Moreover, he never felt pain in the lump.

But when he was seventeen he accidentally told me about the lump in ********** that was to one of the caretakers of the orphanage where he grew up first. And the caretaker of the orphanage looked very surprised to hear Larissa's confession. "When did that happen?" tanyakanya.

Larissa also told everything to the caretaker of the orphanage. And the next day he was taken to one of the largest hospitals in the city to confirm the type of lump.

After undergoing a series of tests and examinations, it is finally known if the lump is an enlargement of the mammary glands. At that time, the size was five centimeters in diameter.

"Then how do I cure my illness, doc?" asked Larissa after hearing the results of her examination report.

"The only way is to have surgery to remove the lump."

Pias.....

Larissa's face turned pale hearing the doctor's words. They include people who are rarely sick. But once he fell ill, he even had to undergo surgical procedures as a way to get a cure. Which is one of the things that is considered a frightening specter by some people.

Inevitably Larissa also agreed to suspend the operation. And after making a reservation inpatient room, he also got a schedule of surgery actions.

That thrilling day has arrived. Tomorrow he will have surgery, where he will get a total anaesthetic when the surgical procedure is done. He is currently fasting according to the doctor's advice.

But fate says something else. At night, where she would prepare to sleep, the mother called and asked her to go home. Ms. Ani complained of pain and no one wanted to take care of her there.

"Mother, I'm sorry. I can't keep up with mom's request. Tomorrow is my operating schedule" Larissa said, trying to give her understanding. Larissa had already said about her pain. Her mother knew she was going to have surgery.

"But, son, here mom is sick too. And no one wants to take care of mom."

"Where did Iqbal go, ma'am? Don't you still have one roof? Why won't she take care of mom?"

Larissa gave a rough breath. He knows how his brother behaves. But he is also very ill at the moment. Moreover, this operation can run because it is financed by the orphanage. Then how mumgkin he would waste this golden opportunity.

"But, mother, what about me? I am sick here too. Especially tomorrow is my operating schedule" Larissa said. He tried to give understanding to his mother, and hoped he would understand her current situation.

But all that is only hope, because it turns out the mother does not want to understand the situation. "Don't you feel sorry for me, son?" tanyakanya.

"I feel sorry for my mother. I love my mother very much. But the problem is this time......"

Not yet had Lariss finished his words, the mother had cut off, "Oh Allah, how unfortunate my fate was. I'm sick, but my son is against me." His tone sounded so slashing, as if youth were the most hurt side. And after saying that, he immediately turned off the phone unilaterally.

Larissa was fixated, not expecting her mother to say that about her. Really, if tomorrow is not his surgery schedule, then he will definitely obey his mother's request. Even if he could, he would definitely leave that night as well. He doesn't care about his own safety.

A drop of water fell on his eyes. It brought back the phone. "I'm sorry, mother. Really, I never meant to hurt your heart."

Worry, that is the current state of Larissa. He could not sleep all night thinking about his mother's words. He who should have a lot of rest before facing the operation instead made a lot of thoughts because of thinking about the speech and condition of the mother.

After considerable thought in the end Larissa decided to cancel her operation. He did not want to make his mother disappointed and stamped as a disobedient child. He immediately got up and looked for the mother of the orphanage owner to express his intentions while asking for permission to go home.

"Isn't tomorrow your schedule?" ask Mr. Bambang when Larissa expressed his heart. He is the brother of the orphanage owner. It just so happened that the mother of the owner of the home was sleeping, so Larissa asked permission from Mr. Bambang.

"I know, Sir. My mother at home is also sick. And for me, nothing matters but mother" Larissa replied with confidence.

"Then what about us who already paid all the fees for your operation? Is that not important to you? Are you just going to waste it?."

Larissa lowered her head. "I'm sorry sir! I didn't mean to disappoint my father. But it's circumstances that make me have to cancel tomorrow's operation."

Mr. Bambang exhaled a rough breath. It would seem that he was very disappointed with Larissa's decision. "Well, if that's your decision. Later you will talk about this to Umik." Umik is the name that children give to the mother of the owner of the orphanage.

"Thank you very much, sir!." And after that Larissa went back to the room to clean up the items she would take home tomorrow.

Larissa flinched from her daydreams during pain at ********** come back. Really when the pain came, he could only regret his decision back then. When she got home, she was in good condition. She risked something important in her life for her mother. But it turns out that it was in vain.

But he did not blame his mother. Because after all, it was fate that made all of that happen. And regret is meaningless. Because right now he had to fight back against the pain.
