My Introvert Husband 3
Come on get up

The next day, Alana, Daven accompanied Holmes in the hospital. Likewise with Ken, he took time in between busy work to see his in-laws. The three of them chatted and slipped a joke with Holmes.

That afternoon, Holmes's face looked so radiant and happy. How not, his two children and also his daughter-in-law are now gathered with him. There is no happier sight than seeing his family gathered, though it is undeniable. Holmes missed Brianna, the woman who had given birth to her two children.

"Daddy, it's good to see you all together" said Holmes. His smile was perfect. It was as if he was forcing to speak until his voice sounded so heavy. What's more, he was helped by a breathing apparatus.

"Daddy don't talk a lot and move, it's better to just rest" Daven said.

"Yes, son."

"Daddy, Ken has good news about Celouis Company" Ken said.

"What is that, Ken?" ask Holmes.

"Daddy know Mr Sanichi?"  ask Ken.

"Mr Sanichi?" Holmes frowned remembering the familiar name on his hearing. "What is Mr Sanichi you mean is a Japanese who owns companies in different countries?" tanyakanya.

"Yes very right. Does Daddy know? Mr. Sanichi has now teamed up with Daddy's Company" Ken said.

"Cooperate?" Holmes frowned confusedly.

"Yes, Mr. Sanichi is now our business partner at Celouis Company" Ken said.

"You're kidding me, Ken?"  Holmes looked at Ken as if in disbelief. "Mr Sanichi is a big business man. How could he possibly cooperate with Celouis?" coined.

"But the proof, Mr. Sanichi did want to cooperate with Daddy's company, yesterday Ken has signed a contract with him," said Ken.  Ken took a neat file in his briefcase, and gave Holmes proof of the cooperation. For whatever reason, Holmes could not believe seeing the white sheet of paper so neatly inked. Signatures on behalf of Mr. Sanichi and Kendrick are also listed above.

"This is right, son? you're not kidding?" ask Holmes.

"As Daddy saw. How could Kendrick joke about this kind of important thing" Ken replied. Holmes's eyes looked at Ken with a glass, the company that had been built starting from scratch and had gone bankrupt and not operational, can now rise again thanks to his son-in-law, even, Holmes still does not believe,  that Ken can restore the trust of the Celouis Company.

"Thank you very much, son.  Thanks to you Celouis can be trusted again, thank you," the remark was incessantly thrown from Holmes' mouth.

"Daddy's company is entitled to all of this" said Ken.

"Our company, Celouis Company, is our family-owned company, and will be your company" Holmes said with a smile.

"No, Daddy. That's Daddy's company, Ken here just helps Daddy run it" Ken replied.

"No boy, Celouis will also need a leader like you. Daddy entrusted it to you" said Holmes. Ken smiled and was forced to agree, but he did not want any recognition at his company-in-law.

"Daddy don't talk too much..." Alana rubbed her father's forehead so gently.

Alana glanced at Ken who was currently beside her. "Where are Valerie and Billy? they say they're coming?" tanyakanya.

"Let's see, Billy didn't give me any news. Leave it alone" replied Ken.

"Sister, I'm so hungry. Don't you guys want lunch?" ask Daven.

"Yes, Brother is hungry too, Brother Ken hasn't eaten either."

"You guys just go for lunch together, let Daddy rest alone here!" holmes's orders.

"No, Daddy. Let Daven and Ken have lunch first, we'll take turns later" Alana said.

"It's okay, you three just go to lunch, Daddy wants to rest on his own. Daddy's fine" said Holmes.

"All right, we stayed a while, yeah, Daddy. We will return soon" said Alana, rubbing Holmes's face and kissing him there.  Daven and Alana came out of the room and were about to be followed by Ken, but Holmes's hand suddenly pulled Ken's hand to stop his footsteps.

"What's up Daddy?" ask Ken.

"Daddy put Alana on, please don't hurt my daughter, Daddy loves her so much" said Holmes expectantly. His eyes were red as if holding back tears.

"Daddy don't worry, Ken loves Alana too much, Ken will never hurt her."  Holmes was so relieved to hear his son-in-law's words. Ken said goodbye to Holmes and soon followed his wife and sister-in-law who were not visible from the reach of his eyes.

***

Half an hour, though,

Ken and Alana leave Holmes' room for lunch at the restaurant.

Holmes was seen still lying on his bed with both eyes closed, the breath he threw out sounded so noisy as if someone was pressing on his chest that he had trouble breathing. But the breathing apparatus attached to his nose and mouth, makes it easier for him to scoop up oxygen.

A voice coming from the door of the room disturbed Holmes about his break, his eyes twitching and opening. He saw the door of the room open wide and was accompanied by the footsteps of a woman who was now walking towards him, but the woman was not a nurse or doctor who used to examine him.

"Mirin..."  Holmes could not believe, was this a dream? thought it was like that. But it doesn't feel. His weak body invites him to bother to get up but in vain, he was forced to be in his position.

"Brianna.." say it back. Such a sincere smile was not left on his face. Holmes was delighted to see the woman who had given birth to his children come to see him.

"You? you here?" ask Holmes. Brianna stopped her footsteps and left two steps away from her husband's bed.

"How are you doing?" brianna asked with an unfriendly look.

"I'm kind... How're you? where have you been all this time?" Holmes asked a question back.

"As you can see, I'm very kind, even better than you are so miserable!" saut Brianna's.

"Where's Alana?" ask Brianna.

"Lunch with Daven and her husband." Holmes spoke with a dull breath as if he were not strong enough to speak.

"Daven?" Brianna said softly. However, he was upset when he heard the name of Alana's husband, his forehead frowning as if he did not like it.

"You seem really happy to see Alana married to her husband" Brianna said.

"Which parent is not happy to see his daughter married to the man of his choice?" answer Holmes.

"You can talk like that, if it's true it's Alana's man of choice. But actually?"

"Do you know, Holmes. Our family's life has become a mess because of you. My children are suffering because of you!" exciting Brianna.

"I'm sorry, I have failed and I cannot make our children happy" said Holmes.

"With you apologizing it won't bring everything back! You know, Alana my daughter has to suffer. He's willing to change his happiness just because of you!" exciting Brianna.

"What are you saying, Brianna? I really don't understand!" ask Holmes.

"Don't pretend you don't know! In order to pay off your debts and redeem your company certificate, Alana is willing to change her status to marry her husband who only targets your company! You really have made my daughter suffer!" exciting Brianna.

"No!" Holmes shook his head in disbelief at Brianna's words.

"Don't miss the fool! Did you forget that Darrel's parents asked Alana to marry his son? but Alana refused because Alana had always wanted to get married at the age of 27 years. Did you forget it was Holmes? your daughter didn't want to marry young, but you see, at what age is Alana married?  Alana was forced to marry her husband just because of you! Only because his father is completely useless!" Brianna grew louder, her anger overflowing.

"My daughter is suffering just because she wants to pay off your debts!" coined.

"Well..." Holmes's eyes were round as if in disbelief, and he was about to speak. But his chest suddenly tightened, his heart seemed to be crushed and felt a pain so intense that his voice was restrained and could not escape from the cavity of his mouth. Brianna frowned, her face filled with anger turned flat instantly.

"Holmes?"

"Holmes, what's wrong with you?" Brianna was so panicked when she saw Holmes suddenly anfal.

"Holmes, don't scare me. You why..." Brianna walked closer. He repeatedly pressed the emergency button waiting for the doctor to approach him immediately. She was still panicking to see the man who was still her husband was no longer moving.

Brianna still did not stop screaming Holmes' name, until shortly afterwards, two nurses and a doctor approached and entered the room. They immediately made an emergency action to Holmes. Meanwhile, Brianna, the woman was told by one of the nurses to wait outside the room.

Brianna was seen pacing back and forth with a face that was so panicked. "Oh my God, may he be well." Brianna's lips trembled. He did not want to be blamed for what happened to Holmes just now.

Several footsteps could be heard echoing in the hospital hallway, making Brianna's eyes immediately diverted in that direction. The owner of the footstep was none other than the footsteps of the two children and also his son-in-law.

"Allana... Daven's..." Brianna spoke without making a sound. He was so surprised. So did Daven and Alana who were so surprised to see her mother there. They accelerated his footsteps toward his mother.

"Mommy?" greet Daven with a frown of wonder.

"Mommy, what's Mommy doing here?" ask Alana.

"A-Alana, Daddymu-"

"Why Daddy?" ask Alana.

"Daddy, why? tell Alana!"

Brianna so dejectedly speaking. His voice was stuck in his throat.

"Mommy, tell me why Daddy?" the same question was asked by Daven's mouth.

"Your Daddy is suddenly Anfal" said Brianna. Alana and Daven were so gasped, that both of his eyes were perfectly rounded.

"Daddy..." Alana shouted and was about to enter the room, but Ken pulled his hand.

"Alana, wait for the Doctor to come out, let Daddy be taken care of by them" Ken said.

"No. I don't want to, I want to go in." Alana brushed off Ken's hand and immediately entered the room. Alana saw the doctor was handling her father with a pacemaker heart to make her tears fall down her face, Alana was so scared. However, the Nurse told Alana to get out of the room.

"Please Miss wait outside!" The nurse closed the door to the room.

"Mommy, why is Daddy anfal?" ask Daven who's no less scared like Alana. Brianna was silent.

"Why is Mommy silent? what did Mommy do to make Daddy anfal?" alana asked, her tears looking down in turn.

"Alana, relax! Daddy will be fine" Ken said, holding his wife's back.

"Mommy was just talking to your Daddy, suddenly he had trouble breathing, Mami called the doctor immediately." Brianna's tears also accompanied her statement.

"What did Mom talk to Daddy about? tell me, what's Mommy talking about?" Alana raised her voice. However, Brianna's body trembled and could not make any sound from her mouth. The doctor came out of the room to see them all.

Alana quickly approached the doctor. "Doctor, is my Daddy okay?" alana asked with tears that were relentlessly hardening. But the doctor was silent, he sighed and looked at Alana with a meaningful gaze.

"Doctor..." Alana who did not get an answer immediately snatched in just like that. He saw two nurses removing the infusion tube and oxygen aids attached to Holmes' body stretched out rigidly above his confinement.

"Why did you take all this off?" ask Alana.

"Miss-"

"Don't let go! You want to hurt my Daddy?  My dad still has trouble breathing, he's not healed yet. Put all these tools back on!" yell Alana. The nurses looked at each other.

"Why are you guys just quiet? put these tools back on!" Alana grabbed the breathing apparatus and gave it to the nurse.

"Miss Alana, please calm down! We're sorry, Mr. Holmes we couldn't save" said the doctor.

Daven, Ken, and Brianna entered the room and gasped at the doctor's statement. Ken and Daven rubbed their own rough faces.

"Daddy.." Daven's body squeezed as if all his power was taken out upon hearing that statement.

"No..." Alana shook her head as if she could not believe what she had just heard.

"Miss Alana, please be patient!" doctor Say.

"You lied. You don't lie to me! My dad didn't die. Does the doctor know. Daddy spoke to me! He spoke to me and my brother! Ask my husband! We were joking."

"Well..." Ken immediately hugged his wife to calm her down.

"Take me off!"

"Alana, Daddy is gone" said Ken Lirih,

"No Ken, they're lying. Daddy was still talking to me, they were lying, you just saw him. You talked to Daddy about the company. You talked to Daddy too. Tell them!" alana's sobbing became increasingly so that Ken could not see her.

"Daddy wake up..." Alana approached Holmes and shook her body. There was no movement or response there.

"Daddy, come on, wake up! Please wake up, let them believe!" Alana still did not give up, she was getting harder moving her father's body.

"Daddy why shut up? daddy just said rest, didn't he? comeup. Let them believe that Daddy only slept.." It felt so futile, Alana still did not get any response from her father.

"Let's wake up!"

Not a few tears that had soaked her face, Alana looked at Holmes's face so closely and closed her face. He did not feel any breath being wasted from his father's nose.

"Daddy..."  Alana immediately hugged Holmes and cried as hard as possible until tears washed his father's face.
