Rainbow for Aqila
Finally

"He had stage three brain cancer"

Darren's statement made those who were there freeze

"A stage three brain cancer?" lirih Mama Intan was embraced by Darren, making him immediately sit limp looking at Aqila who had not been aware

"How can you?" Papa Arya held Darren's arm, he couldn't believe it either

"Grandmother also died of brain cancer right? So it could be genetic or hereditary factors" explained Darren

"No way" Papa Arya sat next to his wife, it's true that his mother also had brain cancer, but he never thought it would go down to one of his daughters

Devano squeezed his hand, his heart was muddled to know this, what had he done? He slapped Aqila, even to the point of pushing her down, the guilt just fell on her

"Hurry to prepare the car, we take it to the hospital" exclaimed Mama Intan when Aqila did not open her eyes

.

The all-white room was filled with the smell of concentrated medicine, in the middle of the bed of the patient lying Aqila who was still unconscious with her left hand stuck in an infusion needle

"Why hasn't Aqila been conscious until now doc?" Darren asked Diana, a renowned oncologist at Bramadja Hospital, who was a young woman

"Can we go out, I want to talk to you about something important"

"Rian keep Aqila here" Darren prevents Rian from standing up to come out

"Good sister" Rian nodded and sat alone accompanying his sister, a younger brother who seemed less noticed by him

.

"Aqila had stage three brain cancer" Diana's doctor began the conversation

"According to the results of the ST Scan the cancer occurs around the memory part of the brain, this can affect the memory of the patient"

"Is he also a frequent nosebleed?"

"Yes doc" Darren replied, because remembering Aqila's sudden nosebleed at the dinner table made him sure that his sister must have experienced it often

"Third-stage brain cancer includes malignant cancer because of its rapid spread, therefore most likely the cancer has spread to the nasal sinus area and then becomes necrosis that causes nosebleeds" it was clearly Dr. Diana who made them come back shocked

"Then why hasn't he realized it now?" Devano let out a voice, clearly a worry mixed with guilt from his voice

"Brain cancer causes sufferers to experience extraordinary headaches, not infrequently they prefer euthanasia because they cannot stand the pain" The words of Diana's doctor made Darren shocked while the other family furrowed their eyebrows, confused by the medical term

"What is euthanasia?" ask Papa Arya

"Dead injection"

Deg

Their heart worked faster hearing that, injecting dead?, Devano held his chest as overwhelming guilt gnawed at his heart

"Brain cancer also affects the patient's emotions such as sudden anger or vice versa, often forgetting, experiencing hallucinations and affecting the way of speech"

"Do your best for my daughter's doctor" Mama Intan clasped Diana's hand

"Of course we will try our best"

"But one thing you should know, until now there is no specific drug that can kill cancer, patients must undergo several stages such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, he said, to shrink and remove cancer cells so as not to expand to other organs"

.

Aqila blinked her eyes slowly, the light in the all-white room made her glare, her head felt dizzy and her vision seemed still blurry

"Aqila" someone called out her name from the side making her slightly turn her head

"Who are you?" Aqila held her head and grimaced softly

"Sister Rian?"

"Yes Brother Rian"

"Where is this?"

"Hospital" Aqila nodded for a moment and closed her eyes, but she reopened her eyes when she realized something

"Aqila wants to go home" Aqila opened the blanket that covered her body, and removed the intravenous needle forcefully until it bled out

"Aqila" Rian pulled his sister's body back into bed

"Aqila didn't want to be in the hospital, Aqila wasn't sick" Rian held back his tears hearing that

"Aqila must be treated to heal quickly"

"Aqila wants to see grandma, they must have waited for Aqila at home" the hallucination came again

"They're not home, they're gone"

"Where to? Aqila was heard calling them Aqila" Rian faced up as hard as he could to hold his tears from falling

"They go far away and will not return"

"Aqila wants to come with them, Aqila does not want to be alone in the house anymore" Aqila tried to escape from Rian, her hijab to be released because it moves here and there

"Aqila can't come with them" Rian stroked his sister's hair, his tears were already unstoppable when he saw how much hair was falling out into his hands when he just stroked slowly

"Aqila didn't want to be lonely anymore at home" The memory of her childhood revolved around Aqila's head

"Aqila is not lonely anymore, we are all there for Aqila" Aqila hugged Rian tightly, the big brother's embrace that had been her dream since childhood

"Shhhhh"

Aqila grimaced with pain in her head, she began to focus her gaze and saw a smiling Rian looking at her with reddened eyes

Aqila instantly took off her embrace on Rian and fixed her position

"Sorry sister" Aqila apologized, cursing herself inwardly, her emotions completely uncontrollable, her brain and heart as if they no longer belonged to her

Rian felt something strange when Aqila suddenly took off their embrace and apologized as if a stranger to create an awkward atmosphere in the room

"Your hand is bleeding, brother call the doctor for a moment" Rian rose from his seat looking at Aqila's left hand that was still bleeding from the forced drip needle

Aqila looked at her left hand and sure enough, she deserved the pain

Aqila pondered for a moment, her family already knew, they already knew about her illness, she could not hide anything more from them, their attitude also began to change, Aqila to the point of confusion facing Rian like that, because it was not the usual Rian he knew

Busy contemplating and struggling with his mind, Aqila until not realizing that the hijab she was wearing had been detached from the head to show her increasingly thinning hair

Chequelek

The door of the room opened, and Diana's doctor and her family entered the room

"Why was the infusion removed?" diana asked with a friendly smile, Aqila only replied with a slab, she was still confused by her own thoughts

"Don't think too much, we're all there for Aqila, don't ever think alone, Aqila should have the spirit to heal" Aqila simply responded with a smile, how could she not think for herself? if he used to be a stranger

"Aqila must heal dear" Mama Intan hugged Aqila and peeling her daughter's hair until Aqila's hair was much attached to her hand

He raised his face up so as not to tear, not only Mama Intan but all of them in the room turned their eyes to another direction, so as not to look sad in front of Aqila
