Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday To Me - 44
...🕯️🕯️🕯️...
"It's okay, doctor. Syifa is okay" he replied.
Doctor Bryan smiled. He then opened several books in front of him and put his hands together in front of his lips while looking at Syifa who was still silent.
"So again I want to ask Syifa."
Hearing this made Syifa quickly look at the doctor.
"Yes, doc?"
"How did he feel today?"
Hearing that question made Syifa bow. He thought the doctor before him wanted to explain his illness but now he was questioning his feelings.
Syifa shook her head as if refusing to explain how she felt now. Destroyed, of course destroyed. The bitter reality was clearly plastered before him then how could Syifa say that her life was fine now.
"What's wrong?"
Syifa.
"I know how you feel but everything will be fine. Trust me!"
Hearing that made Syifa only nod her head. I hope what the doctor says is true.
"Well before I'll explain what it is about brain cancer that has been inside your brain."
"I am calling you to come to my room because I want to explain your illness even further."
"Symptoms that are often felt by people with brain cancer in the form of new or increasing headaches when doing an activity even the pain often appears when someone who has brain cancer coughs or sneezes."
"There are also signs such as blurred vision, loss of balance, confusion, and seizures. In some cases there are even those who have no symptoms," he continued to make Syifa nod.
"Brain cancer occurs when cells in the brain grow abnormally. The cause is not yet known for certain, but there are a number of factors that can increase a person's risk of developing brain cancer, such as exposure to radiation in the head, a history of brain cancer in the family, and genetic disorders."
"And the way to cure it is with chemotherapy. As I said earlier that chemotherapy is a treatment or drugs used to treat cancer."
"This chemotherapy has become an obligation to prevent the growth of cancer again but as I have explained about the impact of the use of chemotherapy is the loss of your hair."
Syifa's eyes twitched. He wanted to cry but was very hesitant to have to do it in front of the doctor.
"Your head will not be overgrown with hair after chemotherapy is done. It takes a long time for your hair to grow back to what you had before."
"But after that Syifa can heal, right doctor?" ask Syifa expectantly.
"Well, if God allows you to be healed, you will be healed. So are you ready for all the side effects of chemotherapy?"
Syifa was silent for a moment. If she has no more hair then it means she will go bald and it is certain that she will never look beautiful again.
Does Glen still want to be with him? Does Glen still want to love him and is he still okay?
If Kinara found out about the illness due to his bald head like this, of course he and his two best friends would laugh at him. Conditions like this only they still bully him then what if his head would really be bald later? Is Syifa still able to go to school every day?
"Shyifa!" call doctor Bryan made Syifa quickly stare at the doctor who was still staring at him with a look of confusion.
"What's wrong? The doctor called but, how come you're not?"
"Sorry doctor."
"What else did Syifa think?"
Syifa shook her head refusing to say anything else this doctor was not a place to confide, not to tell her everything about how she felt and what she thought.
"Oh yeah, this is a letter to do permission to do medical measures?"
"A-a-there's doctors."
"Then Syifa can ask for the signature and approval of one of them who will sign this paper."
Syifa was silent. Both of his eyes stared at the paper that was stuck out by Dr. Bryan.
"If there are both parents, one of them can give a signature on this paper to give approval to the action of the doctor."
"But-"
Syifa's speech stopped. He doesn't know what to wear. Was he honest with Dr. Bryan about what really happened or should he keep it hidden?
"What's wrong? Just say!"
Syifa took a sip of his saliva. He was very nervous to tell the doctor what really happened if Syifa kept Syifa's disease a secret to both parents.
"Doctor!"
"Yes?"
"Actually the only ones who knew about this disease were the doctor and Lena, Syifa's best friend, who were there this afternoon."
Hearing that, the look on Doctor Bryan's face looked surprised. He did not expect that the patient who had this hope did not tell his parents about the disease he suffered.
"Well, why didn't your parents tell you you were sick?"
Syifa smiled faintly.
"Syifa, Syifa's afraid."
"Fear why?"
"Fear to make everything mess up."
"meaning?" tanyanya did not understand.
Syifa bowed.he played her fingers so anxious to have to say it. I don't know how to tell it and where to start.
"Syifa embarrassed the doctor."
"Why should you be ashamed?"
"Syifa can't say it."
"Why?"
"Soalah Syifa will only tell the story of Syifa to people near Syifa while doctors"
"Then think of me as a friend!" cut off Bryan's doctor making Syifa's eyes round.
"A-a-what doctor?"
"Now we are a friend in your word health so I will monitor your health from treatment until you are completely cured."
"So what now you still don't want to tell me everything?"
Syifa still silent do not know what to do now make Bryan's doctor look silent.
"Well, yeah, well I know how you feel and I don't understand what's the problem for you yet but I know God gives a problem to those people because God believes that his servant can through everything."
"God won't give you a test if the person isn't able to pass it and I'm sure you can get through all this."
"You're a strong man" he continued.
"Without doctors knowing what makes Syifa like this?" syifa's question made Bryan's doctor speechless.
He smiled then looked down for a moment and looked back at Syifa.
"I wouldn't understand what your life would be like if you didn't tell it. Well then this is a letter for approval of treatment measures and yes, you can sign here!" point it at the signature column.
"Can-can doctors?"
"Yes, please!" his orders made Syifa quickly grab the pen and pull the paper that Bryan's doctor had stuck out to her.
