Family to My Son

CHAPTER 18

HAPPY READING

Agnes and Arumi were sitting opposite each other in the visiting room.

“arumi,” call agnes soft.

With a face that I say arumi smile. “iya?” arumi asked.

“ allow me to be a lawyer to bully you in this case,” said Agnes while holding the hand of arumi who was on the table.

Arumi remained silent. She stared fixedly at agnes. “what did anyone tell you to do this?” ask arumi before answering.

Agnes shook her head. “this is all pure from my heart, arumi. Although there is actually also an advantage for me,” replied agnes while smiling innocently looking at arumi.

“advantage?” ask arumi I don't understand.

Agnes nodded. “my father is a lawyer as well. I want to prove to my father that I can be better than him,” replied Agnes honestly.

“you sure you have no other intention than that?” ask arumi again. Right now, believing in humans is the hardest thing for arumi to do.

Agnes shook her head convinced. “I have no evil intentions other than wanting to help you, arumi. Let me defend you,” said Agnes again asking for permission.

“but I don't have enough money to pay you. Sorry agnes,” said arumi refused.

“don't think about money. I'm willing not to pay, arumi,” said Agnes trying to calm down what was the reason arumi refused.

“that's impossible, agnes. Lawyers are your job. And that's where you're looking for money. If I don't pay you, then where's your income?” arumi asked makes sense.

“you think I'm just a lawyer? There are still my boutique and restaurant businesses,” replied agnes. Instead of being arrogant or showing off, but Agnes tried to eliminate all the reasons for arumi to reject her.

Arumi sighed softly. “we're new to know, agnes. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you, but that's the truth. Life teaches us not to trust our fellow human beings too much, ” said arumi honestly.

Agnes nodded. “I agree with what you said, arumi. You don't have to trust me completely, but I honestly say I really want to help you,” said Agnes again reassuring arumi.

“it's not easy to be my lawyer, agnes. Here, I am the guilty one. And my opponent is not an arbitrary person,” said arumi trying to give another reason to agnes. He was already desperate with the fate he was about to accept.

“i'm a young lawyer. I haven't had much experience. But as a woman, I see honesty from your eyes, arumi,” replied sincere agnes.

“indeed it will be difficult against the person who has power, arumi. But one thing you have to believe, the truth will still be a winner in every challenge,” continued agnes.

Arumi remained silent. What Agnes said was the truth. He also desperately needed agnes in this case. But Agnes also felt doubt in her. He was afraid that Agnes had other intentions in helping him.

“For whatever reason, I have no other intention, arumi. I really want to help you. Except that one. All I said was to prove myself to my father,” replied agnes chuckled at the end.

“how can I trust you?” arumi looked into Agnes' eyes.

Agnes again clasped arumi's hand. “you can do it, arumi,” replied agnes sure.

Arumi was a little quiet. Then the next second he smiled and nodded. “hopefully you can help me, agnes,” said arumi returned the hand of agnes.

Agnes smiled. “we will do our best, arumi,” reply agnes sincerely.

“then I come back first,” said arumi and stood up to get back into the cell.

“from now on I'll be a little annoying to you by coming here often, arumi,” said agnes who was nagged by arumi.

Agnes breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at the sad back of arumi. “was considered guilty, not that you were really guilty, arumi. We'll prove it,” murmured agnes sincerely.

Agnes walks out after saying to get permission back at the police guards. When just in the car, Agnes received a message from her father that made the woman turn the eyeball lazy. “don't get angry later if we will be opposite in court, father.”

…..

Arumi smiled. “because God always gives help to his servant, ma'am police,” said arumi calmly.

The policeman nodded. “whatever the result will be, never blame your life. It is not your fault, but it is your fault that you have the self why to be on this road,” said the policeman and returned to his tenpat.

“already a little good,” murmured arumi a little relieved because the police woman who guarded him now was not as smart as the first time he entered the cell.

…..

Sasmita went into the star room. The woman was asked by Ali to convey the message given by hutama and tyas before they returned home to their own home in Jakarta.

Without knocking on the door, the sasmita immediately entered and saw his sleeping son using his countrymen. Sasmita. He was still angry at the stars. But he pityed because his life was always governed by hutama.

Sasmita sat on the bedside. Her outstretched hand gently rubbed her son's already messy hair.

The star who is basically easily awake now opens his eyes when he feels the elusan in his head. “mi,” greet the star with his hoarse voice.

Sasmita distanced his hands. “mami Just want to say, later tonight there will be a family meeting with his family aaron sir. Grandpa advised you should come,” said sasmita conveying a message from hutama.

Silent star. He is still staring at the face of his mama who is still jutek. “stars is wrong what is the same mami? Why after meeting arumi mami so like this?” ask the soft star by changing its position to sit.

“what did arumi say something that offended my mom?” ask the star again because the sasmita just silently does not answer.

“mi,” call the stars again a little whining. The adult male was actually being spoiled with the sasmita.

Sasmita sighed softly. “how far have you come with arumi?” ask sasmita without looking at the stars.

“we are in a tacit relationship, mi,” replied the makeshift star.

“that's not what mom asked,” replied sasmita.

“mi.”

“honest, star!” sasmita said firmly.

“sorry, mi,” says star lowered. Sasmita seems to know what she's doing. There is no point in avoiding and hiding everything.

“do you never think that mommy is also a woman, son?” tanya sasmita stared softly at the stars

.

Silent star.

“mami guess mami has given birth to a knight, but in fact mami gave birth to a coward,” said sasmita who very much makes the star stinged. “and now it's too late. This case has greatly affected your relationship with Arumi. Even you were betrothed by your grandfather. What should my mom and daddy say later in the afterlife trial with your behavior, son?” sasmita looked at the stars with teary eyes.

“maafin star, mi,” replied the star looked down guilty.

"Wide your mistakes and apologize to the Power, son. After this live a better way. Now there is also no point in being angry with you. But mami hope, all this will never be repeated,” said soft sasmita.

Star hugging body sasmita. “stars really sorry, mi. star apologize,” said star who was nod by sasmita.

“mami just afraid you're sorry later, son. But hopefully everything will be fine,” said sasmita released a star hug. His outstretched hand rubbed gently the star hair and smiled.

“And one message mami, son. When you are confused or in a dilemma, then follow your heart, because the heart will not lead you to the wrong path.”
