BRIDESMAIDS

ANTOINETTE CONDITIONS

"Mommy..."

"I have to get there" cried Laura hysterically as soon as she saw Antoinette being shot in the back by Escobar at close range through a television screen in Dante's apartment. Laura's body trembled, while her tears were out of control. Parched wet his cheeks.

Laura ran to the door. Without caring about her surroundings. Even Dante was nearby.

"Laura wait. We go together" cried Dante, took his car keys and ran after Laura.

"Dries. Calm yourself. I will accompany you Laura" said Dante pulling the hand of his lover who pressed a button on the elevator door that did not open as well. Dante hugged Laura's body which shook violently into his arms.

Laura couldn't hold herself back anymore, she was crying. Dante hugged his shoulder towards the driver's car.

"Go to the hospital now", Dante orders shortly after he communicates love with Xavi through his mobile phone.

"W-how is she doing?", Laura shrieked in a barely audible voice.

Dante clasped his lover's hand tightly. "Calm down baby. We will soon know the state of your mommy" said Dante, leaning Laura's head against her shoulder. Slowly, Dante's fingers rubbed Laura's face gently.

"Huh..

I heard Laura's breath.

"I hate mommy so much the last few days, but it turns out mommy showed concern for me. Honestly, I want to hang out with mommy and daddy... Having a harmonious family, even though they can no longer be together. I really want my relationship with both of my parents to be okay" Laura said bowed. While Dante's fingers held Laura's hand.

Dante pecks Laura's head. Give her peace. Although Dante knew after knowing the true state of Antoinette would make Laura hysterical and sad.

Dante hugged Laura's shoulder upon arriving at the hospital. Seeing Laura's arrival, the reporters who were swarming there instantly stormed Laura. However, Dante's men soon provide a strict escort.

Dante who saw Xavi talking to the doctor at the door of the ICU immediately approached them.

"How?", asked Dante while hugging Laura's shoulder because he knew the news they were about to hear would definitely shock Laura.

"Mrs Antoinette is very bad. The chances of life are very slim because one bullet hit a vital organ" Xavi said with a serious face.

Suddenly Xavi's explanation makes Laura's legs limp and her body is limp. Lucky Dante holds her.

"Please, you can see patients. The condition of the patient is critical, and we have not been able to perform surgical removal of the bullets that are lodged in because it is very dangerous" the doctor explained to Laura and Dante.

"Are you ready to see it?", asked Dante.

Laura nodded her head. "Whatever happens, I have to be ready. I don't know how long my mom will last that way" Laura replied.

Dante nodded his head. And hugging Laura's waist into the special room where Antoinette is being cared for. Dante faithfully accompanies Laura facing her entangling problems.

Laura covered her mouth with both her hands trembling at Antoinette's condition. "Mom..."

Visible mouth, nose to the other body is filled with medical hose life support Antoinette.

Unwillingly, Laura had tears streaming down her face. "Mom, I'm sorry I hated you so much" Isak Laura leaned her face against Antoinette's uninjured shoulder.

"I thought mommy would never love me. I'm sorry mom" Laura said in a trembling voice. While Dante rubbed his back gently.

There was no response from Antoinette, the woman drooped weakly on a special bed with her eyes closed in appalling conditions.

Until a moment later suddenly the body was jerked and convulsed. The rhythm on the monitor changed

and it's ticking fast.

Laura stood away from the rajang. Silent with body shock and trembling. There was no sobbing but clear circles continued to flow profusely.

Dante pressed the emergency button. Doctors and nurses ran into the room to help patients.

The next minute both eyes of Antoinette opened.

"L-Iura.."

Antoinette stammeredly called Laura. With deep sadness Laura approached her and tightly grasped Antoinette's hand.

With the pain in his body, Antoinette forced herself to smile. "I'm-I'm sorry mom. Y-you should be happy N-nak...
