Praja Diwangka was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when the case involving his second wife was over at the trial table. Arum was charged with a layered charge and sentenced to ten years in prison with a prison term. While Larasati got relief, she was only dragged into some criminal acts that were scripted by her mother without including herself to go further into it.
Praja house which had become the seizure of several parties, handed back after cradling and based on the evidence. While a house and other assets that were originally given to Arum during marriage, have become the property of the woman.
The hammer has been knocked. The judge's verdict has been decided. Praja and Isabel can breathe a sigh of relief and can go back to life without Arum and Larasati as in previous days.
In the sickle seat Larasati bowed her head. Her tears were flowing but as much as possible she kept her voice from coming out. Arum himself did not appear to come to the final trial. Greed and Ambition make Arum can not accept reality to rampage and hurt yourself in the cell. Arum was depressed, so the police team sent him to a mental hospital for a healing process that unfortunately made Arum's career worse.
Erich took Isabel and Praja out of the courtroom. From the corner of Isabel's eyes can still see when Larasati walk flanked by the supervision of the officer. As they cross paths, Larasati asks the officer for permission to talk to Isabel for a moment.
"Isabel, Erich's dad too, I'm sorry. For all the crimes my mother and I committed, please forgive us. We're sorry." The girl sobbed. The clear thread again flowed from the corner of the white-shirt girl's eyes. A beautiful and proud face that has been on display for several years, now replaced with a pale face that requires compassion.
Praja melengos while Erich did not respond, only Isabel who smiled while nodding her head before Larasati was taken by the officers to be quickly walked and boarded the prisoner's car. The girl was uncontrollable, with weak steps she boarded the prisoner's car flanked by two female officers.
From a distance Isabel stared at the prisoner's car which began to move away from the courthouse. Although on one hand he was relieved namu on the other he felt guilty. The freedom that was taken away made Larasati's youth will definitely be spent in a detention cell. It erodes the hope and beauty of the marriage that the girl may have ever wanted.
Isabel breathed deeply. As a girl who has an age not much different from her half-sister, the girl understands as sad as what Larasati feels today. Not only about life, but his dreams also seemed to perish along with the iron bars that supported his movement. But what to say. The law of the harvest is sure to apply. Who plants, he is the one who reaps the fruit. Whether it is good or bad.
"Dear." Isabel flinched as one of Erich's hands rubbed her shoulders. His consciousness gathered after his daydreams would be Larasati.
"Yes" answered Isabel, looking up. Erich's towering posture makes the girl a little distress when she has to look at the lover's face if not wearing high heels.
"We're home. The driver took Dad first, so we'll go home alone." The smile on the man's lips was engraved. He also gently pulled Isabel's hand to take her to the parking area. Go home and enjoy the trip alone.
It's a rare moment. When the two lovers just walk together and are in the same car. Although already tied in an engagement relationship, but because of Erich's busyness makes the young man sturdy body did not have much time even to just walk with Isabel. Likewise Isabel, while waiting for the lover to work she will only spend her time in the house. Cooking, looking after the father or hanging out with Aunt Erich's housemaid as a boredom repellent. Such were the two, despite being in the same house, they only had a little time to be able to talk to each other.
Erich deliberately turned the direction. Not immediately go home and instead bring Isabel stop to the city park. The foggy sky is also breezy wind that feels cool makes the park quite a lot of visitors.
Under a shady tree Erich brought Isabel to sit on a wooden chair right facing an artificial pond inhabited by a variety of ornamental fish with various colors. The two sat side by side, shaking hands. Erich looked at Isabel's face, when he saw the girl's lips smiling, Erich smiled. Hah, the world feels so beautiful when enjoyed with loved ones.
"You like it?"
The girl who was asked nodded her head and replied, "Like, really like." Isabel smiled happily. He so enjoyed the atmosphere of a green garden surrounded by flowers blooming. Erich still did not take his eyes off the girl beside him. Implied disbelief when he will tether the heart to a girl whose age is much younger than him. The age of the girl has not even stepped twenty years, but the maturity of the girl is far from her current age. This makes Erich steady and want to continue the relationship next level.
"Isabel," call Erich. "Look at that," pointed the man at the object not far from him with sparkling eyes where the little girl was playing ball throwing with her parents. The family was so happy. The little girl laughed rianfly, as did her parents.
"He'em." Isabel followed Erich's index. The reaction shown by Isabel is certainly no different from Erich. The beautiful girl smiled widely, as if she could feel the happiness that the little family now felt.
"I've even dreamed of the time we had children and played with them. Surely, it's fun." Erich thought looking away where his childhood was not free he used to play. Most of his time was spent studying and studying. Although the father never burdened, but as a prospective heir to the company Atmadja group made him realize that his brain and hard work would be needed, so there was no word for him to play games. Discipline and hard work, that is the Arka advice that Erich applied in life, until the figure of an Erich Surya Atmadja, as it is today. The figure of a strong and independent man who successfully ruled the business world at a young age.
Hearing the words spoken from the lips of the lover makes the girl smile. His heart was like a tickle. If viewed from the point of view of the Erich family, of course the man did not get less affection from both parents, maybe the same as him when the late mother was still alive.
"You're just smiling but you're not answering me?" Erich clucking. He shook his head, pretending to be inexhaustible with the behavior of the lover.
"Wait for us to get married, then Brother thinks about having a child. Wouldn't it be better if it were like that?"
Erich speechless. His pair of eyes were puffed up as Isabel just laughed as she answered her question.
"Ishable."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Stop teasing me." The girl did not know if her loyal gestures made Erich often lost his mind. Anxious, innocent-looking, Erich could not even wait to pounce on him.
"Why?"
The girl's eyebrows wrinkled and her pair of eyes moved beautifully like puppets. Makes Erich couldn't bear to say, "I can't even wait to marry you."
Both silent. Isabel was shocked when she heard Erich's confession. While the handsome man himself, a few moments instantly smothered his mouth. His eyes closed as if regretting the confession he just said.
I'm flabbergasted.
