LAZUARDI LOVE #139

The judge nodded his head. The legal counsel resumed, "So clearly, the incident was a form of defendant's self-defense to protect her husband and family from the Tohoku people's attacks." the legal counsel said he looked at Chiyome for a moment and then looked at the prosecutor.

the presiding judge looked at Chiyome, "Sister of the accused.Who is the leader of the Tohoku group?" ask the hearing leader.

"Nobuo. precisely Yakushizi Nobuo, son of Yakushizi Kagenobu. Nobuo held onto Ichinoseki's wakachu.he was betrothed by his father unilaterally to me on the day of the meeting between the kumicho with the shitei and wakachu." said Chiyome.

"Forward." asked the chief judge.

"I refused the match and kept Kenzie who is my husband now.In the meeting Kagenobu did not accept and made a fuss, challenging my father and grandfather who had remained silent out of respect for Mr. Shinobu Tsukasa who was then a kumicho. Because my father and grandfather were not incited, Kagenobu drew a dagger and attacked me. I killed him according to genyosha law." Chiyome replied then let out a long sigh. The judge clearly saw his fondness.there was a line of sorrow there.

"Forward." asked the judge insistently.

"Nobuo did not accept. on the day of my marriage with Kenzie, he gathered his troops and blockaded the road.The accompaniment of our car was surrounded and bombarded with bullets.Yasunori, the third son of Uncle Ienaga took the initiative to escape Uncle Endrawan, who was then surrounded and hit by bullets, Trias and Inayah.my best friends saved themselves.Yasuyori and Koreyuki with us held out on the spot to return their fire." Chiyome's voice began to stammer. "In that incident.... Koreyuki, Uncle Ienaga's eldest son died sacrificing himself... there I killed him." said Chiyome who unconsciously drained her tears.the woman looked down and closed her eyes and cried in silence.

the room was silent for a moment. Chiyome then shrank her tears and straightened her face back up. "From Koreyuki's funeral, Uncle Ienaga insisted on asking our family to hold a wedding reception.He said, Koreyuki's death should not affect the implementation of the marriage until the completion of the procession.... we continue the wedding ceremony that night with the blessing of Uncle Ienaga himself."

the atmosphere became haru. some members of the Mantulangi family cried to hear the story of the slashing behind the incident. Chiyome continued.

"That's why I was determined to serve my husband wholeheartedly, choosing to be a housewife and an obedient wife for my husband. Kenzie continued to go to school until he finished" Chiyome said. "For me, the sacrifice of Brother Koreyuki must not be in vain.he chose to die so that me and Kenzie lived.and his sacrifice will not be wasted... I became violent, remembering my vows personally.At last you all know yourself..."

the presiding judge nodded.he looked at the audience. "Well, this hearing was postponed until May 26, 2023 with the agenda of witness testimony." said the presiding judge lifted the hammer of the trial and knocked it once a sign of the hearing was pending.

Chiyome was again escorted out and escorted. unexpectedly Bapu Ridhwan called for pushing two guards flanking Chiyome until they fell over. The atmosphere was chaotic because the officers thought Bapu Ridhwan was about to commit violence. the grandfather then hugged Chiyome. both the grandson-in-law and the grandfather cried. After being satisfied to let go of his emotions, Bapu Ridhwan stroked Chiyome's head.

"Father is proud of you. it's useless you are Mamoru Minamoto's great-grandfather. Take it easy! Bapu won't let them hurt you! face fate with a smile?" advice Bapu Ridhwan.

Chiyome smiled on the sidelines of her crying.she nodded and again stepped out of the room flanked by the other warden. Adnan got up with Mariana, his jaw hardened and his watery eyes staring intently at the prosecutor.

you dare call their marriage an accident.wait.

...******...

Kenzie frowned as Aisyah told the result of the afternoon session.The face of the branched man revealed a dissatisfied face.

"How long should Wiffy be in custody?!" kenzie looked at Bakri. "Didn't those judges see my condition for Wiffy to be released?!"

"Patience to you. We keep doing our best to control Chiyome. Papa himself I think has made every effort to do so. I ask you to be patient and make sure your physique.so that you can give a statement that can free Chiyome from the entanglement of the law." Bakri asked.

Kenzie simply stared at the open window with his eyebrows that remained furrowed.

...*****...

Adnan and Mariana take Saburo to visit Chiyome in the custody of Gorontalo City police.The warden accepts them and lets the two men meet their daughter-in-law.

Chiyome came out of the cell and found her in-laws. Saburo who saw his mother immediately developed a hand for hugging. Chiyome deftly grabbed Saburo in Mariana's arms into his embrace then calmed the child down.

Mariana looked at Chiyome with trepidation. "How's Adek doing?" mariana asked softly.

"Okay, Ma. thanks for visiting Adek and bringing Sandiaga.." replied Chiyome stoically. "Snake Ice?"

"In Kenzie's company in the hospital" Mariana replied briefly.

Chiyome smiled then toyed with Saburo for a moment. Mariana started crying, "Sir... Mama longs.. the house is quiet without you..."

"What would you say Ma. I'm still here, can't accompany Mama. The trial will still continue with the testimony of witnesses... Mama is patient? pray I am free and Mama can anxiously pinch my nose again." replied Chiyome half-mockingly who actually made Mariana sentimental.

"Is Sandiaga not naughty Ma?.." asked Chiyome on the sidelines she played with her son.

"He misses you, that is what makes us fervent.The law has cruelly separated the mother from her child, separated the wife from her husband..." mariana complained in the middle of her sedu. "Mama's heart hurts even more to hear your reason for killing her for Kenzie's sake...Why don't they just release you? isn't what you're doing both an act of self-defense?"

"Maaa.." rebuked Adnan slowly but Mariana hugged her husband and cried. "Ahhh.... I can not meet Fitri... what will he say? she probably thinks I'm not looking after her daughter..."

"Okaa-San isn't that cute Mama.." replied Chiyome, "She already knows the risks of a yakuza's daughter. I don't think Okaa-San would be surprised."

"Is Mochizuki's mouth really that loud?" adnan said with a smile.

"Even if we face death, we will be very strong" Chiyome replied steadily.

"Don't mention death in front of Papa.... Papa won't listen." Adnan said.

"I'm sorry... Papa.." replied Chiyome.

"Here you go... Then, we say goodbye first.keep yourself well huh?" adnan.

Mariana lifted a package and placed it on the table."This is Mama asking Aisyah to make you your favorite dish."

"Is this Ma?" chiyome asked as she opened the package and a smile returned from her lips. "Waaahh.... Mama kereeeen's.... Adek likes... thanks Ma?"

Mariana nodded then took Saburo again from Chiyome's embrace. "Outdated huh?" mariana Pinta.

"Mama must be.." replied Chiyome steadily.

Mariana who carried Saburo pamit followed by Adnan. Chiyome carried the parcel into the cell.One of the occupants of the cell approached her, peeked into the parcel and swallowed her saliva.

"We ate together" said Chiyome, lifting the package, and he placed it on the floor and sat cross-legged before the open package.

the cellmate lady with Chiyome was sitting opposite and they were finishing the meal together voraciously.

...******...

May 26, 2023, Gorontalo District Court.

the room was filled with visitors and several men in black gown entered and stood in front of their respective tables. After nodding respectfully, they sat in their seats.The judge looked at the audience who filled the visitor's seat.

"Today's hearing is witness testimony" said the judge tapped his hammer once to open the hearing and sat down to follow the other members of the judge. "Put the defendant in the room."

shortly afterwards Chiyome again appeared flanked by two guards and then sat in front of the judge. "Give witness." asked the Chief Judge.

from the door, Saripah appears who steps calmly towards her place.The prosecutor goes forward and looks at Saripah. "Can you swear."

Saripah raised her right hand up and said, "By Allah I swear, I will tell the truth and give a truthful account for the sake of a satisfactory trial."

"Thank you, please sit down." said the prosecutor.

Saripah then sat on the chair.the prosecutor looked at her. "Define the chronology of events at the scene of the case."

Saripah took a breath and said, "When we arrived at the location we suspected of being Kenzie's place of confinement, we both split the tasks. I asked Chiyome to look for Kenzie's whereabouts while she herself cleared the way for my search to go easily. I found Kenzie in a bound state. his body was thin, probably lacking in nutritional intake. he asked who I was and I introduced myself."

"Wait.." interrupted the prosecutor. "Are you and Kenzie friends?" ask the prosecutor.

"Yes we are friendly." answered Saripah with a surprised face, do not understand the purpose of the prosecutor why ask the ridiculous question.

"Why didn't he know it was you?" investigate prosecutor.

"The room was dark and only illuminated by light emerging from the sidelines of the building's vents" Saripah replied.

the prosecutor nodded. "Forward.."

"Not yet I had time to untie, Puspita suddenly appeared.he insulted and threatened me not to interfere.but I as a personal bodyguard of Mrs Kenzie Lasantu as well as their best friend, they said, obliged to defend their pride and honor then we fought.but I lost. only on the sidelines of the fight I stole the view of Kenzie's place and in fact the seat was empty.I assume, I, by the time we got into a fight, Kenzie managed to escape" Saripah said again.

"How did he escape?" investigate prosecutor.

"I don't know.I was busy fending off punches and kicks that Pupsita directed at me." replied Saripah. "In a desperate situation, Mrs Kenzie Lasantu appeared and saved me. The two fought and Puspita was conquered easily.When Mrs Kenzie Lasantu turned to step towards me, suddenly Puspita got up and pointed a gun at him.Together with that Mr. Kenzie suddenly appeared shielding his wife and was shot. Lady Kenzie Lasantu then again attacked Puspita while drawing a sword and slashing Puspita in several parts of the body. once the Lady sheathed the sword, the woman's body fell one by one to the floor."

"Do you know what kind of gun Puspita used?" investigate prosecutor.

"I don't know.I don't know the types of pistols, but according to Madam, it's her husband's gun." replied Saripah.

the prosecutor looked at the judge. "Enough noble."

the judge looked at the audience. "The next witness description is an expert witness, Mr. Kenzie Lasantu himself.we will conduct a remote conference via zoom."

the clerk activated the application and began contacting Kenzie. shortly afterwards on screen appeared Kenzie Lasantu who was temporarily flanked by Aisyah and Bakri.

"Assalamualaikum, Mr. Kenzie." said the presiding judge.

"Wa aleikum salam." replied Kenzie.

"Sir.. can you tell me about yourself at the time of the abduction?" the prosecutor's investigation is curious.

"I went to Puspita's house, forced her to confess to the crime she committed" Kenzie replied.

"What crime?" ask prosecutor.

"Enter a kind of virus into the security data of Buana Asparaga.Tbk that causes balance sheet instability and the decline of my company's option stock points almost to nadir" replied Kenzie with an annoyed face. "Luckily I contacted my third hand until he managed to detect and block the work of the virus.the third hand of the company informed that the virus was inserted using a fake IP. but he managed to dismantle it and proved that the IP used was IP on behalf of Puspita Kusmaratih." said Kenzie again still with an annoyed face.

"But are you sure he's the one who smuggled the beer in the security data base Buana Asparaga.Tbk?" investigate prosecutor.

"Yes.. I have confirmed it at that time.he admitted and worked with Stefan Waworondouw.the man of my sister's ex-husband who was entangled in the KDRT case and until now still at large at large." answer Kenzie.

"Forward.." ask the prosecutor.

"Puspita threatened me with a show of force.he surrounded me with his mercenary roof tile that pointed a firearm.I also put my smith & Wesson 617 revolver in his face to threaten him to avoid conflict." kenzie.

"Forward.." ask the prosecutor.

"One of his men managed to paralyze me. I was then taken to the building, held captive and Puspita raped me many times over the course of a month until I was finally found by Saripah, my best friend." answer Kenzie again.

"Raped? you raped?" ask the prosecutor in amazement.

"You doubt me, sir?" challenge Kenzie with a bang. "Do you know what it's like to be raped? you want to be raped?!"

"The objection of His Majesty! witness insulted me personally." exclaimed the prosecutor.

"The objection of His Majesty! the prosecutor was impressed by harassing the witness with his question so that the witness who is still in post-traumatic condition said rude!" intercede for legal counsel.

"Defense of legal counsel accepted! brother prosecutor, please do not ask questions that lead to harassment." ask the judge.

the prosecutor could only look at the legal counsel with a furious face as he was rebuked by the judge in the trial.[]
