Like being struck by lightning, that's how Nilam feels right now. When he heard from the mouth of his dear son, that he had no flaws was not his wife, Diana.
"Bram.don't joke you! You barren? No way, this must be wrong.definitely your barren wife!"
Nilam refused to believe that Bram could not have any offspring by his circumstances. On the other hand, Cakra, Amayra and Satria saw Bram crying emotionally. Bram's current facial wrinkle implied that he wasn't lying at all.
Bram replied in a soft voice this time. "True, I'm barren and I can't have any offspring."
Shame, self-esteem trampled, his heart that was like a knife. Bram felt it at the same time.
"No, ma. It's not true! Diana who has a deficiency, Bram mas is fine. Diana was wrong ma, Diana who could not give offspring to Mas Bram!" Diana did not want her husband's heart to be hurt more by telling him the bitter truth. She prefers to protect her husband from embarrassment, from disgrace, she thinks it is better for him to be ashamed than her husband.
However, the thing done by Diana instead made Bram's self-esteem even more trampled. Because Bram felt useless because Diana had to intervene to protect herself.
"Don't talk anymore Diana! You want my pride to get trampled on? You want me to be embarrassed in front of everyone? It's hard enough I'm saying all this in front of everyone and you're adding to my wounds!"
"Yes..."
Astagfirullah, I did not know that mas Bram would become emotional like this. I just want to protect her.
"You're all satisfied? I am the BARREN.I am! I got KARMA!" Bram's emotions broke, between sad, disappointed and angry at himself.
"Istighfar, you're Bram!" Cakra did not expect that Bram, who was calm, had now become so emotional.
"No! This is not true, Bram my son. It must be Diana who is barren and you are trying to protect her right? Before you and Amayra had Rey, how could it be this way all of a sudden?" Nilam held onto his chest, he did not believe what his son had said. However, when he saw the look on Bram and Diana's face, Nilam was sure that they were telling the truth.
Bram walked up to Amayra who was standing next to her husband in a wheelchair. Suddenly the man knelt down at Amayra's feet and even held her feet.
Just as people were shocked to see it, Amayra included. "Sister Bram..."
"Sister, what are you doing?" Satria asked in astonishment to see the brother kneeling at Amayra's feet.
"Mas..stand, mas..." Diana held her husband's hand, asking Bram to stand up. However, Bram even brushed off Diana's hand.
Bram shed tears, he held the leg of his sister-in-law. His eyes looked at Amayra with tears in their eyes. "Sister, what's sister doing? Please stand up, brother!" pinta Amayra is not happy with Bram's treatment of her.
"Amayra, could it be that your heart has not forgiven me. Once again I apologize to you, for all my past treatment of you. I committed an unforgivable sin on you, until I experienced all this recompense. Amayra.I apologize to you.." Bram was still on his knees, his hands clenched to apologize to Amayra.
Bram's speech reopens the old wounds between Satria, Amayra and Bram. Three people who have been involved in an elaborate love triangle and are connected by a child.
"Sister, enough! Why did you bring up the past and Brother as if blaming my wife for what happened to Brother this time!" Seru Satria does not like the attitude of Bram who brings up the past.
"Mas..calm yourself mas." Diana held her husband's hand, asking Bram to calm down.
"Diana you shut up! I will apologize until Amayra forgives me." said Bram who then held Amayra's legs.
"Mas!" Shouted Diana sadly.
"Take off my feet Bram's, I beg you" said Amayra asking Bram to take off his legs, he looked annoyed with Bram's attitude.
"No! I will remain like this until you forgive me sincerely!"
Cakra pulls Bram's body, he hits Bram to resuscitate his son. Circumstances can indeed make a scene, especially when someone is in sadness like Bram at this time. "BE AWARE of you Bram! Despite having a severe problem, you must remain calm Bram. Istighfar, don't misunderstand that this is all karma. Remember that every problem must have a way out," Cakra looked at his son with a sad look, but his words encouraged Bram.
Diana hugged Bram while calming him down. Cakra asked Diana to bring her husband into the room, as they needed to calm their minds after the less pleasant news. Diana and Bram climbed the stairs to the top floor, to their room.
Nilam was still shocked by what he heard from Bram, the recognition that his barren son was hitting him deeply. "Ma..."
"Bram..no way... Calabrian family, company...how's the fate if Bram can't have children?!" Nilam held his head, he looked frustrated.
Cakra got upset and then he slapped his wife.
Plakkkp!
"Papa, why did papa slap mama?" asked Nilam while holding her cheek that had just been hit by her husband's floating hand.
"Your beloved son is sad again, he is grieving because of the doctor's verdict. Then... You even think of the no-no? Not to comfort him and his wife!! Nilam, you never realized yes!" Cakra let out a sigh, he was very disappointed with his wife who never changed after getting some warning from God. "Nilam, repent! Before you suffer the torment!"
Cakra was upset and left his wife there, she did not care about Nilam. Nilam fell down while crying.
It can't be like this, if Bram my son can't have a baby. Then later, it must be Satria and Amayra's son who will inherit Calabria's company. I wouldn't, if it was my stepson's son who would inherit the company.
Amayra and Satria returned to their room, and suddenly Amayra cried as she sat on the bed. "Darling..."
"Pity Diana and Bram, mas.hiks."
So Amayra cried out of pity for Bram's sister and Diana's sister, I think she cried because she remembered the old wounds and Alma Rey.
Satria wiped his wife's tears with her soft hands. "May, baby.I feel sorry for them too but we can do nothing but support them and pray. Maybe it's a test of love, a household for both of them to make the relationship stronger."
"I can't imagine if I was in Diana's leg position, she would also be very hurt. But what you're saying is true, we can't help but pray and support."
"Dear, you don't cry anymore. Twins will cry because their mother is crying. Let's just wish Bram and Diana the best." Said Satria wisely.
Satria hugged his wife gently while calming her down. He prayed sincerely that Bram and Diana would find a way out of their problems.

1 Week later, Bram has become calmer but not with Nilam who is now rarely seen eating with family. He looked very upset and disappointed with his son.
"Where's your mom?" Cakra asked Diana who she told to call Nilam.
"Mama said she wanted to eat in the room, pah" Diana told her father-in-law.
"Yet again do not eat.ahh.." Cakra sighed in annoyance. He left the dinner table before finishing dinner.
Bram and Diana look empty, after that ominous dinner. The two of them returned to the room, suddenly Bram gave a document from the red map.
"What is this Mas?"
"Read it." replied Bram while buttoning his sleeping pajamas.
Diana opened the document and read what it contained. Both of his eyes widened looking at the contents of the document. "Astagfirullah Mas...you want to divorce me?!" Diana got up from her seat, she looked angry.
Bram couldn't look Diana in the eye, he turned his face and said. "Yes, sign the letter."
