Handsome Lawyer

Chapter 79

A year after the death of his wife and child. Bram became a cold and closed person. He rarely laughed or smiled. His heart grew cold and died. Even he does not want to even just make small talk. Bram spends more time taking care of his work without wanting to hang out with anyone. Even with his best friend Bram is not as enthusiastic as he used to be. It's been over a year.

Erika tries to introduce another woman to be betrothed to her son but is immediately rejected by Bram. Even Bram chose to avoid the mother if his mother tried to find a replacement for his wife. Bram once ran away from everyone because Erika repeatedly introduced him to several girls and women. But Bram disappeared for an entire month without meeting or telling his parents to make his mother confused.

He felt guilty and promised never to do that again. It was also due to the persuasion of her husband who knew where his son was and kept a secret to his wife because of her son's request.

"You should know how your son is." Aryan's advice that night.

"Hiks.hiks..i'm sorry pa, I just want to see him move on from his ex-wife and remarry. He deserves to be happy. After all, almost a year our son is like that." Erika in her husband's arms.

"Ma, they are husband and wife not a couple who are dating let alone there are children among them. Bram hasn't forgotten it. He was your son's first love. It must be very difficult. After all, Lia is the first woman in Bram's life who doesn't really know what it means to love and be loved by someone of the opposite sex." Arya's advice at length makes Erika cry. And Arya just stroking his wife's back gives him peace.

"But now that she's pa, mama promised that if she came home, she wouldn't do it again. Hiks..hiks..."

"Yes, yes, we're trying to talk to papa's assistant to look for him more vigorously." Arya answered still holding the body of his sobbing wife. Arya smiled seeing him, she also felt guilty towards his wife for lying to him about her son's whereabouts.

"Sir." Greet Arya's assistant as she walks into Bram's study in a small town, a branch of her family's company.

"Yes?" Bram replied without looking at the man whose voice he had recognized. He kept busy doing his job even though not as much as his job in the central company.

Yes, during that month Arya asked him to take care of the small company while avoiding the mama because of her betrothal. Bram agreed on the condition to keep his whereabouts to his mother a secret. Arya agreed. It's better that he doesn't know where his son is.

Bram himself busies with his work by occasionally monitoring developments in the field and mingling with people who are in the small town. Unlike in the capital, in a small town there are many people who are friendly even though they have not known for long. Even the work in the branch company was counted smoothly victorious without any problems which meant that Bram smiled more and more satisfied with the work of the people there.

"The big master asked you to return to headquarters." Said the assistant. Bram looked up at the assistant who was still calm.

"I don't want to go home yet." Bram replied, refocusing on his work. Life here makes Bram a little forget his sadness about his wife.

"But sir ..."

"Say to the President, there's still work to be done here." Cut Bram waved his hand to throw away his papa assistant.

"Good sir." The assistant replied with force, if Bram had behaved like that he would not be denied or he would be affected.

"Hm." Bram tidied up the finished work files and contacted his secretary to ask for more work.

"Yes pa." Reply Bram after saying hello.

"You said you didn't want to go home first?" Ask Arya.

"I still want to be here." Bram replied briefly sounding ogah-ogahan.

"Your mother promised never to do it again."

"I know."

"Huff.. Then why don't you come back? Your mama feels guilty and sad not to hear from you." Arya replied weakly.

"I'll call him later. Papa don't tell me where I am."

"alright. I hope you're okay."

"I'm good pa."

Bram shut the phone. He scrolls the contact's name on his phone stalled at his mother's mobile number. But hesitated to contact him. He wanted to calm down before contacting the mother who was about to stir and forcing her to tell her whereabouts. And Bram was weak to his mother. And she would definitely not be able to resist her mother's sad look at her.

"I'll visit the field." Tell Bram to see his secretary was restless since Bram was ignored because of the call of the papa. And he abandoned his intention to contact his mother.

"Ba.baik sir." The secretary followed Bram's steps but was immediately taken off as Bram turned to look at him.

"I want to be alone, you continue your work here!" Bram's word made the secretary gawk in disbelief.

"Yes?"

Bram left his silent secretary staring at his departure with a face full of question marks. Not out of awe, not that she's married. But his master smiled at him a smile that had only been shown after a long time in this company. And that made him in disbelief, because his master was cold and flat. No sweetness at all.
