Handsome Lawyer

Chapter 78

The plane landed at the airport where Bram arrived. Bram immediately ran without caring about his belongings. The driver who asked him to pick her up was told to pick up her suitcases and his car went straight to the hospital where his wife was. The last news he received was that his wife was in critical condition.

Bram felt so guilty hearing that. He only wished to arrive on time by his wife's side if God loved his wife more. Bram was resigned to the situation, especially when he heard that the life of his prospective child was not helped. Instantly his world collapses to pieces Bram hears his loved ones slowly abandoning him.

"I'm sorry, honey.sorry..." Bram whispered in the car he was driving.

Bram added his speed towards the hospital which he would probably arrive in thirty seconds.

Bram also parked his car haphazardly in the hospital yard. He did not care about the security of the hospital reprimanding him. Bram ran straight into the hospital building.

"Where's my wife's room?" Bram asked the hospital receptionist with a hunting breath.

"What's your wife's name?"

"Lia, Delia... "

"Bram's." Someone's call stopped his speech. Bram turned towards the voice.

"Dad." Bram immediately approached his father-in-law who was looking at him anxiously with reddened eyes holding back tears.

"How's Lia doing, huh? Where is Lia yah?" Tanya Bram.

"Come fast!" Reply Lia's father stepped into the ICU room where his wife was being treated.

"He's okay, isn't he dad? He's okay, isn't he, Dad?" Bram asked with tears following the footsteps of his father-in-law with anxious and panicked eyes.

Lia's father remained silent not answering Bram's question. He himself was confused about what to answer because Lia's condition was very concerning. It is unlikely that he will recover or live. Only a miracle can exist.

Bram stared at the bed where his wife was being treated. Many hoses of life-supporting hospital tools stuck all over his wife's body made Bram miris see it. Guilt instantly engulfed his mind. Bram was very sorry to leave his wife on the day less than two weeks of his birth.

"Bram..." Lia's frown looked at Bram who had not yet approached him. Staring at him with eyes full of regret and tears.

"I'm sorry.sorry.." Lia's whispers stammeringly maintained her increasingly weakened power.

"No dear. no. Don't say that!" Bram replied with a head bobble as tears continued to flow nonstop.

"I'm sorry.. maybe. I. can't be by your side..." Said Lia looking at Bram with her smile.

"Don't tell me it's baby, you're gonna get well. You'll live. We'll be together forever." Answer Bram.

"You're gonna get well. Please!" Said Bram while crying as if holding back his cry and did not forget to hold his wife's hand.

Lia's father and mother who were staring at the two from outside the ICU room glass window cried seeing the interaction of the two. Sobs were heard outside the glass window of the ICU room. Lia's father only held onto Lia's mother's shoulders cheering.

"Mas, be happy.. though .. without me..." Lia's last answer left her claustrophobic and the hospital device rang loudly deafening but did not make Bram budge from his place still while holding tightly to his wife's hand.

"Don't go! Don't leave me! Please! No!" Bram's whisper could no longer bear to shed his cries.

The doctor entered Lia's treatment room to check on Lia who had breathed her last. The nurse who was following the doctor in charge of Lia shook her head and looked at the nurse and then covered Lia with a blanket to cover her face indicating that Bram's wife had died.

Bram was sitting limp on the floor with a cry that sounded heartbreaking to anyone who heard it. The doctor and nurse immediately left the room giving the patient's family room. Lia's father and mother went straight into the ICU room crying loudly at the verdict of the doctor who declared the death of his daughter.

Lia's father, who had been trying hard, also poured into the cold floor of the hospital to see his daughter exhale last along with her future grandchildren just a few hours later.

Arya papa Bram, who is still hospitalized overseas, has not been allowed to travel on a weak down plane with his wife crying loudly inside the hospital treatment room where her husband is being treated. Regret was clearly visible on the face of the two. Moreover, they could not be on the side of his daughter-in-law and his son at the last moment his daughter-in-law breathed his last.

Both of them can now only hug each other to strengthen themselves because of the abandonment of their dear daughter-in-law and her first grandchild.

The news of bi Ijah who said that his son-in-law breathed his last ten minutes then made both feel guilty. Although he could not be by his son's side to strengthen, they wished his son well after the abandonment of his beloved wife.

***

Lia's body had been bathed and sholled in a crate from the hospital. The mourners had gathered around Bram's mansion. Bram was sitting limply beside his wife's coffin staring blankly and pusherly at the coffin. All the mourners who came looked at Bram with pity. Terry sitting by his best friend's side was giving strength. Jo and her parents' entire extended family were also present. Representing the two Brams who are currently unable to attend.

Not to forget Lena also came to the funeral home as a form of friendship and meeting with Bram.

Until finally the local kiayi sir gave the code to the host to immediately bring the body to the final resting place. Jo and Terry encourage Bram to move on despite being abandoned by his wife and son.

Bram limply stands up with Jo and Terry to escort his wife to her final resting place. He weakly followed the instructions of the two people at his side.
