When Heart Decides

CHAPTER 28

28

Just after the result of blood typing was out, Treyton was adviced to get a plenty of sleep and to eat a healthy foods so they can start the blood transfusion the next morning.

Kinabukasan nga ay dumiretso ito kaagad sa hospital. He already informed Aleah for having a one week break or it depends on how long the process will take. Ipinagpaliban na rin nito ang mga appointments niyang nakaschedule na.

Nang makarating ito sa kwarto ng bata, bago siya makapasok ay nagkataong papalabas naman si Atarah. Dahil doon ay nagtama ang tingin nilang dalawa. Atarah easily avoided his gaze and bit her lower lip as she made a way so Treyton could enter the room.

Tuluy-tuloy lamang ang ginawang pagpasok ng lalaki sa kwarto. Atarah secretly followed him through her stares. Sa huli ay pinaglapat lang nito ang kanyang labi. Hindi siya sanay sa paraan ng pakikitungo ng lalaki sa kanya.

She heard how her son laughed when Treyton went near him. Hindi nito alam pero nakikita niya ang kakaibang kislap sa mata ng bata sa tuwing magkaharap ang mga ito. Just by looking on how TJ is fond of him, nasasaktan ito sa kanyang nakikita.

Atarah inhaled a large amount of air bago ito tuluyang lumabas sa kwartong iyon upang tawagin ang doctor. The doctor then came at tinawagan nito si Treyton upang masimulan na ang pagkuha sa kanya ng dugo.

A skilled phlebotomist is now talking to Treyton. He was told to sit in a reclining chair and to extend his arm on the armrest. Isang blood pressure cuff o iyong tinatawag na tourniquet ang inilagay nila sa upper arm nito to fill his veins with more blood.

After inserting a needle on his veins, nakatitig lamang ito sa dugo niyang ngayon ay dumadaloy na papunta sa blood bag.

Nang matapos iyon, the phlebotomist removed the needle, changed it into a small bandage and wrapped it on his arm.

Pagkatapos itong makuhanan ng dugo, Treyton sat in an observation area for him to rest and they gave him a snack so he can eat. Maya maya lang din ay nakita nito ang bulto ni Atarah na papalapit sa kanya.

She's holding a bottled water and a snacks. Tsaka ito nagdadalawang isip na iniabot iyon sa lalaki. Unexpectedly, Treyton took it from her pero iyong tubig lamang ang ginalaw nito. Halos ubusin pa nito ang laman no'n.

"Thank you." Atarah said sincerely while looking at him but Treyton didn't bother to look back at her.

After 15 minutes, Treyton stood up and went out of that area without even talking to her. Atarah just sighed. Nasasaktan itong ngumiti habang sinusundan ng tingin ang lalaki.

Then she wore a fake smile on her face and decided to stood up para na rin mapuntahan nito ang kanyang anak.

Day after that, after everything is settled, sinimulan na iyong blood transfusion para sa bata. A small needle was inserted on baby TJ's vein which was attached into a catheter.

Ang tubular medical device na iyon ang magsisilbing daluyan ng dugo.  Through that IV line, TJ will be able to receive healthy blood. It usually takes 1 to 4 hours to complete it kaya kinailangan itong imonitor during and after the procedure.

Hapon no'n, Atarah sat beside her baby. Mahimbing na itong natutulog matapos isagawa iyong blood transfusion sa kanya. Her parents went home to cook their dinner. Babalik din ang mga iyon around 7PM.

Also, Neon who visited them in the hospital already went home kaya ngayon ay silang dalawa na lamang ni Treyton ang naiwan para magbantay sa bata.

Hindi nito alam kung kakausapin ba nito ang lalaki pero sa huli ay pinili nitong huwag na lang dahil ang totoo, hindi niya rin alam kung paano ito kakausapin.
