The Tough Trio And Elena
Chapter 79 Steven's Treatment

It's been a week since Steven was biopsy. Today he returned to the hospital for his biopsy reading by doctor Sylvia, his confidant and best friend outside the guest trio. Elena actually wanted to accompany her to the hospital, but Steven turned her down. He preferred to come alone and did not want to interfere with Elena's work.

"The result is the same, Steve. Lung cancer stage 2. Next week you'll have surgery for your tumour removal. If the cancer cells are still there, then chemotherapy should be done at the beginning of the month."

"Okay, Syl. Do your best, I'll follow all the procedures. I've resigned from the company, so I can focus on my treatment"

"Goodle. Be strong, Steve. I'm sure you'll be cured"

"I will fight Syl, for all my friends and family"

"Including Elena?" Sylvia intends to tease Steven. He knew that Steven and Elena had officially become lovers.

"Not including, but especially for Elena"

"Well Steve, I didn't know you could be this romantic. Usually very stiff nagalahin kanebo dry"

"Hey, don't tease me! That Steven doesn't exist, that Steven's in love"

"Basar bucin... slave of love!"

"Whatever you want to say, now I want to go home first"

"As usual, I don't want to thank you."

"Thank you nagging Sylvia, I'll send you a check"

"Oh, very outspoken you, Steve"

Steven just grinned and then walked out of Sylvia's practice room.

Sylvia recalled her friendship with Steven. They knew each other when they were new students at the same campus, but different majors. Sylvia majored in medicine, while Steven majored in Business Management. From the beginning, Steven was quiet and since knowing his mother fell ill, Steven became a beggar.

Sylvia eventually became fond of Steven. Since knowing Steven, Sylvia became familiar with two friends Steven, namely Dimas and Arya. Sylvia only met Arya a few times, as she studied abroad. So he confided more often with Dimas about his feelings for Steven.

Because Steven was passive and cold, one day Sylvia finally ventured to express her feelings to Steven with the support of Dimas. But unfortunately, Steven rejected Sylvia subtly and preferred to be friends. Fortunately Sylvia was not long heartbroken, since meeting with Reynold until finally getting married, Sylvia so can forget her feelings for Steven and they continue to be good friends until now.

Steven feels fine and he feels optimistic about getting well, thanks to the support of family and close friends. Before the surgery, Steven wanted to spend time with Elena. He plans to date for a full day with Elena.

On Saturday, Steven went around the mall with Elena. They had played together in the game area, tried several games such as dance together which of course became even messy because they laughed more, played basketball, and took dolls with claws. Steven seems to be doing it. He managed to get two large puppets for Elena.

On Sunday, Steven took Elena to the beach. They had lunch there and in the afternoon looked at the sunset together. It was supposed to be a good time to kiss, but Steven was too shy to start first, so he just kept quiet.

On weekdays, if you are not too tired, Steven always took the time to pick Elena home from the office, considering he is no longer working so he has a lot of free time. He did not want to waste any time until he had to be operated on.

Finally, Steven's time for surgery came. He looked a bit tense, but Elena accompanied him until Steven walked into the operating room.

"Coko will be fine. I'm here to accompany Koko until the operation is over"

"Thank you, Elena"

"Koko's spirit"

"spirit"

Because the operation was performed during the day in midweek, Elena asked Dimas for permission. Elena was replaced by Cindy. Dimas and Arya promised after work they would come to the hospital.

Steven's operation began at 13:15. Before the surgery, Steven forced Elena to eat. But not wanting to leave Steven, Elena only went out for a while to buy bread, so she could eat while accompanying Steven.

It's been 4 hours Elena waited for Steven to finish surgery. Previously, Sylvia had told Elena that the operation would last for 2-6 hours. Elena was so worried. What if the surgery lasts more than 6 hours? Is that not dangerous? An hour later the operation was still not completed. Dimas and Arya came to accompany Elena.

"Not finished the operation yet?" Ask Arya

"Patience and calm, Elena. We have to believe the doctor can handle it." Dimas.

"Have you eaten?" Ask Arya

"Already, brother"

"But your face looks pale. Have you eaten properly? " Task Arya again

"I'm fine. Maybe just a little tired"

"Yes', I'm going to the supermarket first. You want a nitip ga?"

"Nitip what is it? Is there a shirt? I'll stay here later"

"I'm going to the supermarket, not the department store! At most there is only the same CD T-shirt aja"

"Relax, don't get emotional. CDs are also not available at the supermarket"

"There ya', I'll buy emergency time traveling to Bromo first. Ga inget?"

"Emang in Bromo anyone selling Compact Disc?"

"Not a Compact Disc, dodol! But ****** *****! I'm not even your head!"

"Hehehe... Relax, very fierce dong! Must have eaten wrong lunch"

Elena who saw the actions of those who always argue so laugh. Dimas and Arya looked at each other and smiled. Their mission to make Elena laugh in order to reduce the tension was finally successful. After that Dimas went to the supermarket.

"Later after Tev is done in surgery, we'll meet Tev for a while and you'll go home to Dimas?"

"Sir Arya who will stay here?"

"Yes. I'll be here for a week too"

"Why?"

"I don't think I have a reason to go home"

"Is it because of Arya's father?"

Arya just nodded her head in response.

"I... Has not said condolences for the death of brother Arya. I'm sorry, brother"

"Thank you, Elena. Do you know where it's from? From Dimas, huh?"

"Yes, brother"

"Once in a while you have to plaster his mouth"

Elena laughed again.

"Well, don't laugh often like this. Elena, we're all sad Tev is sick, but we also have to be strong for Tev's sake. So that he will be encouraged to heal. Okay?"

"Yes, Okay brother"

"Good Girl" Arya said with a smile.

Shortly after, Sylvia exited the operating room. He said the operation went well with few complications. After the surgery, Steven still had to be treated in the hospital during the recovery period of approximately a week.

Sylvia also told me a few days after the surgery that the incision area, chest, and arms would usually hurt. Pain can also be felt when moving the arm or taking a long breath. It won't be easy for Steven, but he asks everyone to always support Steven. After that Arya contacted Steven's papi to inform him that Steven's operation was complete.
