Chapter 11 - CHEMOTHERAPY

"But Marey, I'm really not sick. The doctor must be the wrong person, trust me. I do not si..." Dean couldn't continue his words as Marey's moist lips covered his mouth with a soft kiss.

For a while Dean just stunned, feeling Marey's kiss that he hadn't felt for several years.

Dean's eyes were closed. Marey's gentle kiss was still like it used to be so warm and soothing to his heart.

For a moment that beautiful feeling melted Dean's heart and didn't want to wake up from his dream.

"Luis, open your eyes." Marey said after a while giving Dean a kiss. Marey's heart filled with feelings of guilt as well as feelings of love that had long been lost and have now returned.

"Luis opened your eyes? What is wrong with you?" Marey asked sadly.

"Tell me first, if that kiss from you wasn't a dream? but for real you have kissed me?" said Dean without opening his eyes.

"The kiss was real Luis, not a dream. Now get up." said Marey as she rubbed Dean's face affectionately.

Dean's eyes opened slowly, and saw Marey's face still right in front of him.

"Is it true you just kissed me pretty Marey? I do not believe this. Why are you kissing me suddenly?" asked Dean with a full gaze.

"Because I'm pissed off with you, you keep on talking when you're not sick. I'm not the stupid woman you can fool Luis with. And you have to remember that smartly you cover it up, you will definitely get caught too." said Marey while pinching Dean's nose softly.

"So you believe I'm having that pain, Marey? Ahhh...I know, you are being cute to me now because you feel sorry for me after knowing that Doctor Naan right?" asked Dean with a full gaze.

Marey shook her head still rubbing Dean's face.

"I did it because you are my lover. Have you forgotten that a few minutes ago we were lovers?" said Marey with a sad smile.

Dean was silent in disbelief at the attitude Marey had completely changed for him.

"Now listen to me Luis, you promised me to always hear what I said, right? you have to do that chemotherapy. I want you to recover Luis." said Marey with a sad look, even more so her heart was broken to see Dean's condition who had to undergo such a tough test.

"I ... I don't want you to find out. Marey, I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I just want your love." Said Dean in a low voice, unable to deny about his illness in front of Marey.

"I don't feel sorry for you Luis, but I have liked you because you are so kind and love me for who I am. You must be strong, and you must seek treatment. If you follow chemotherapy regularly, you will recover." said Marey, encouraging Dean to live.

Dean looked at Marey with a look full of love and happiness, his heart was very relieved that Marey had belonged to him. Dean felt more confident that if he would die he would die in Marey's arms.

"Do you want to stay with me forever until I recover Marey?" asked Dean with a look full of hope.

Marey nodded her head resolutely. Marey promised to herself to always look after and care for Dean forever.

"Will you give me a hug, Marey? so that I have the spirit to recover?" Said Dean hoarsely and a sad heart bent slightly so that Marey could hug him.

Without answering Dean's words, Marey hugged Dean with a long and loving hug.

"Calm down Luis, it's gonna be all right. I will always be with you forever." said Marey, calming Dean's heart so that he has a passion for life.

"So ... you want to do chemotherapy right Luis?" Marey asked, still hugging Luis.

"I'll do it Marey for you and our love." said Dean with a heart filled with happiness.

"Then we will see Doctor Naan now. You can walk or you need a wheelchair like me too?" Marey said jokingly.

"You take it easy, I'm still strong to walk. Even to carry you I'm still strong too." Said Dean replied to Marey with a smile.

"Come on ... we go there now." said Marey as she reached out her hand for Dean to grab her hand.

Taking Marey's hand, and the other one holding Dean's infusion pole walked slowly beside Marey who was sitting in her wheelchair.

Arrived at Dr. Naan, Marey and Dean sat with serious faces and looked tense.

"Like I said before, we better have to do chemotherapy as soon as possible so that it can inhibit white blood cells quickly." said Doctor Naan seriously.

"Yes Doctor Naan, how long does chemotherapy take, Doctor?" Marey asked calmly, holding Dean's hand.

"This chemotherapy takes a long time, and must be done once a week. Chemotherapy is the first step in addition to other therapies. And if the patient's condition is good enough, he can undergo a bone marrow transplant." said Dr. Naan explained at length about Dean's condition and how the chemotherapy process and its effects after undergoing chemotherapy.

Marey looked at Dean who was silent without comment. Dean's face looked pale, even his white skin looked even paler.

"What doctor? the effect Luis will feel after chemotherapy later?" Marey asked, curious about Dean's condition after chemotherapy.

"The patient will experience fatigue, nausea and vomiting. What's more, the patient will experience excruciating pain after receiving chemotherapy injections." said Doctor Naan, staring at Dean and Marey in turn.

"How is Luis you're still going to do this chemotherapy right?" Marey asked staring at Dean after hearing all of Doctor Naan's explanations.

"I'll do it Marey, as long as you stay beside me and won't leave me." replied Dean with a teasing smile so that Marey wouldn't worry too much.

Marey smiled exasperatedly, hearing Dean's embarrassed answer in front of Doctor Naan.

Doctor Naan smiled and got up from his seat and tapped Dean on the shoulder.

"You know Miss Marey? Luis's brother, in fact, has great enthusiasm. Hopefully with high thoughts and enthusiasm as well as strong intentions. Luis can get through this chemotherapy." said Doctor Naan with great confidence.

Dean smiled happily that his eyes could not leave Marey's face which looked red with embarrassment.

"OK Doctor Naan, I'm ready to do chemotherapy now." Said Dean excitedly because his heart was sure Marey would be there for him.

"Then we will go to the chemotherapy room, where you will do some tests first. And do other tests only after that we can do chemotherapy by injection or taking medication, brother Luis can choose it." Said Doctor Naan looked at Dean then called some nurses to help handle Dean.
