Love Anton And Mela

Thirty Six

Maudy Latumahina is a girl from Maluku who recently joined a young lawyer at one of the Legal Aid Institutions

the city of Cirebon.

He is passionate, willing to learn and work hard.

From the Legal Aid Institute where he took up one challenge, namely being a lawyer for illegal abortion cases.

Their clients included Supriatin, Suprayitno and his wife.

Maudy read the case file on the three men and shivered to read it herself.

His forehead wrinkled, then he took off his glasses and twirled the pencil in his hand.

"Oh my God, I've always wanted to be a lawyer to defend the innocent but the guilty".

"Now I am facing a real guilty person but I must defend them to be free.No way this I can do.., " complained Maudy while being bullied at his desk.

"Maudy.... I want to make coffee, do you want me to make it?" asked Reynald Patiselano, his co-worker who had secretly put his heart to him.

"Sure dong, I want to, thank Rey. You are so kind, " Maudy replied always with a smile to expand it.

That's what made Rey aka Reynald Patiselano fall for him. Because under no circumstances did Maudy always smile never showing her angry or sad.

Soon Rey returned to the study with two cups of hot coffee.

"This is your coffee...".

"Thank you Rey....".

Then the two drink warm coffee while Rey sits on Maudy's table.

"Why are you knocking a pencil on your head, then twirling it around the table..Is there a problem I can help you with?"ask Rey to Maudy.

Maudy smiled broadly as she looked warmly at Rey, "Either Rey I'm confused because dude Jonas gave me a hard case".

"Which case is Jonas' man, when you couldn't handle it?" tanya Rey finds it strange that Maudy can't handle her case.

"Yes, yesterday there were two cases that I handled that could work because my client was innocent. But now my client's a guilty man. I've never known how to defend a case like this?"maudy explained to Rey while still smiling.

"Maybe you should interview them immediately, and then compare them to this file. When are you planning on meeting that client?"advice Rey

"This morning, I plan to interview them because the trial will be held in a few days, do you want to accompany me?"asked Maudy who of course immediately greeted Rey excitedly.

In the afternoon they drove to Cirebon Police, and they both had permission to interview Supriatin, Wiro and Sutiyem.

Maudy and Rey are currently in a special room to conduct an interview with the suspect.

The first one called by the police turned out to be Suprayitno aka Wiro, then he was placed in front of Maudy and Rey.

Then they began questioning Wiro about the truth of him being a fake psychic and also the practice of illegal abortion.

So far Wiro has been quite cooperative, he was frank that it is true to commit fraud under the guise of being paranormal with the main motive being money.

Since childhood his life was poor lunta-lunta not careless. Once upon a time meeting a rich, ignorant woman had believed that she was paranormal.

Without wasting any more time he immediately made it as an opportunity to attract profits.

Wiro and his wife were given funds to build a rural residence that was not restricted to the population and made it a place of paranormal practice and illegal abortion.

Illegal abortion practices bring in even more money, so Wiro and his wife lied to Supriatin if there is one fetus that dies means adding to Supriatin's wealth of one million rupiah.

The cost of aborting the content is charged at five million rupiah per person for the age of the womb under four months.

While content above five months is subject to even greater tariffs.

Actually regarding the issue of such tariffs Supriatin does not know for sure he always gets money once a million a week.

"Not from the findings of the police, there are a very large number of fetal skeletons. Means all this time Supriatin was also lied to by the father?" tanya Maudy stared in full search.

Wiro was silent for a moment then before long he nodded his head.

Maudy her eyes widened as she looked at Rey, she shrugged her shoulders as both her hands rose as well.

"It's the third case I've dealt with and I'm so creepy on Rey. There are people so casually saying that she has already aborted so many fetuses. I don't think I have to defend such a person" Maudy closed her eyes to imagine the horrors of illegal abortion.

"This is not how much, just the first difficult stage that Jonas dude gave you. I used to when Jonas gave a case of a child killing his father and his biological mother by slitting their throats".

"And when asked the child answered calmly without guilt and you know how old the child was.16 years old, "Rey shared his experience with Maudy while waiting for the next defendant.

Sutiyem his wife Wiro. The thin-skinned woman is small and dark-skinned, and according to the criminal record Maudy holds, she is an illegal abortion executor.

Back Maudy and Rey gave some questions that were almost the same as the one they had asked Wiro earlier.

But there is one additional question for Sutiyem as the executor of illegal abortions.

"Did Sutiyem's mother during the abortion of the fetus not feel guilty afterwards, let alone so many who were victims of abortion by the mother?"maudy asked as she stared intently at Sutiyem.

"For what I feel guilty and sinful, those who come alone to our place. Those who ask me to remove the foetus, then I do what they want".

Maudy leaned her body against the chair not expecting any such sentence to slide from Sutiyem's mouth.

"We note there is a fetal corpse that is estimated to have been in the womb of a woman around 6 months of age...Is it true that big content even mother dare to throw it out?" Maudy asked deeper as her eyes could not escape Sutiyem.

And Sutiyem calmly replied, "Right...And as I recall the woman dared to pay dearly for the abortion process".

Maudy's face showed great horror. His entire body trembled upon hearing what the fetal-killing woman had said.

Then Sutiyem looked at Maudy and Rey and said, "If you are right to defend us, release my husband. He's innocent, I'm the brains of all this. My husband just obeys what I want".

Then Sutiyem was taken back to the cell and Maudy looked at the woman's back while shuddering, horrified to imagine what this woman had done.

Maudy and Reynald were talking, and the sound of a woman blabbering at the officers.

None other than him was Supriatin who was walking towards the room where Maudy and Rey were waiting for him to interview her.

"Basar stupid officer...., I am not a goat tau!!!.. yummy you guys from earlier tugging at me like this... you don't know yourself when I pay you.... Dameb*h!!!!!".

The policewoman who was holding her hand seemed to be getting impatient with her chatter, "Once again mother said rudely to the officer, then we will put mother into the dark cell!!!".

Supriatin looked at the officer with a hateful look, but her mouth was now silent.

Police officers sitting Supriatin on a chair are confronted by a pair of young lawyers.

"You're the lawyer for my case, how much does my husband have to pay you so I can be free?"asked Supriatin without warning to Maudy and Rey.

"We mean Supriatin's mother what well..we're not here for money , "maudy replied that she did not like being said like that by Supriatin.

"Don't pretend I know a lawyer like you must need a lot of money, my husband a rich man later I ask him for money for you guys as long as it can make me free.... I can't stand living in a rotten prison like this... set me free quickly !!!!" Supriatin began to complain that he wanted to be released by a lawyer before him.

Rey began to get upset with Supriatin's attitude and she said as she pointed to Supriatin's face, "Listen if you don't need the help of our lawyer no problem, but sorry don't insult our work. Because our job is to defend the truth not to defend money!!!".

Maudy pulled Rey's arm, patted her on the shoulder, trying to calm things down.

Supriatin looked at Rey and narrowed her eyes still stubbornly she said out loud, "You heard..... There are still a lot of lawyers I can pay with money if you're a stunt don't need money".

"I don't need you either, don't need a holy-spirited lawyer like you..... Officer....!!! take me to the cell.lazy I'm talking to two morons like them.......Hurry..!!!!"

The female police officer walked in directly pounding the table while glaring sharply at Supriatin.

"Dam!!...I heard well...no more lawyers will handle mothers other than them. Please be polite to them and do not always demean others. The mother must be aware, so she can be here because she has done something evil".

"Mother is currently a defendant, try to think rightly do not use emotions. It should be grateful that there are lawyers who want to help even bermaki-maki," The police woman was very upset with the behavior of Supriatin.

"AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHH!!!!

I HATEIIIII....HATE YOU...HATE EVERYTHING...AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!".

Supriatin squealed all the resentment she felt, upset over her stupidity, upset over the situation not supporting her, upset over all those who could not grant her wish.

She cried while banging on the table, she felt unacceptable that she was currently a patient.

"This is all because the b*ngs*t Wiro and his wife were deceiving me, indeed they b*jing*n....SWINDLER WAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!!!!!".

Then the officers approached Maudy and Rey, "We better have this meeting, it won't go right. Supriatin's mother cannot be cooperative. We leave it up to you both whether we want to handle it or cancel it".

"Well, then we're saying goodbye, because we think we've had enough data from the two defendants before, "Maudy said goodbye back to his office with Rey.

On the way Maudy and Rey discussed the incident, which at first they feel upset now even laugh at each other considering the behavior of Supriatin who like a stressed person.

"We see Maudy, for a long time the mother could lose her memory because she continued to deny her situation" Rey said while driving an office car that read "Jonas Taalea Legal Aid Institute and colleagues"

Jonas Tahalea is a man from Maluku a famous lawyer in the city of Cirebon, but the football has reached other cities.

He is well known as an honest lawyer and often helps people who cannot afford to seek justice.

The principle of honesty does not justify all the ways he has applied to all his colleagues.

Indeed, most of his coworkers are both people from Maluku, not because he is tribal but because Indonesian customs like to find fellow tribesmen who have succeeded in the big city.

Actually Jonas is currently in the galvanizing stage of Reynald Patiselano, he hopes one day Rey replaces him now.

Jonas wants to return to his birthplace to build the land of Maluku and become the People's Representative there.

That afternoon Jonas was sitting in his room staring at his laptop, he was studying the cases his team was dealing with.

"Good afternoon man, sorry to interrupt, " Maudy said as she knocked on Jonas' door.

"Dude, I couldn't face Supriatin's mother, she was too wild. hahahaha," Maudy then told the story of her meeting with Supriatin to her superior.

How much earlier Maudy was very upset with Supriatin but eventually it became funny to remember it as if facing a person who was starting to get half crazy.

"That's why I gave you this case, but it's still quite common. Many other cases are far more horrific. Your previous two cases can be solved easily, rest assured now will also succeed?"

jonas encouraged Maudy to not be discouraged.

"Rey!!! Come here for a moment!!," he shouted to Rey in his room.

"Yes, wait." said Rey and went into Jonas's room.

"You're with Maudy tomorrow well, there's a meeting with the Prosecutor who's also handling the case" Jonas said, appointing Rey as Maudy's companion in tomorrow's meeting.

"Well, man, what's the name of the prosecutor in charge of this case tomorrow?"ask Rey to know.

"A female prosecutor named Devina Rosalia Hamarung, "Jonas answered Rey's question.

"What!!!???"pekik Maudy when he heard the name.

"Why are you Maudy?" Jonas was astonished when Maudy was strangled to hear the name of the prosecutor's mother.

"She was once my lecturer, waduh, waduh. Firm and disciplined, once in the campus nicknamed "Mrs. No Excuse", does the legal world now have the same nickname?" Maudy remembers her former lecturer when she was in college a few years ago.

"Yes she is a tough woman originally from the Dayak tribe of East Kalimantan Kutai, and indeed many nicknamed her Kalimantan Tigers or Mrs. No Excuse like that because he is not a prosecutor who is easily bribed with money. For him the truth must be upheld," Jonas commented on the figure of the Prosecutor who they will meet tomorrow.

Jonas asks his team to come on time because Prosecutor Devina is a disciplined person so don't embarrass the agency.

Cirebon is famous for the hot sun although the short hand wall clock is still in the number 9 and the long needle in the number 12.

Maudy and Reynald stood before a well-dressed, middle-aged woman, looking at Maudy as she fixed her glasses.

"If it's not wrong you must have been one of my students?" Devina Rosalia Hamarung stared and remembered Maudy.

"Well, amazing Mom still remembers me, the honor for me is still remembered by Devina's mother, " Maudy replied as she paid her respects by bowing her body to her former lecturer.

"Of course I remember and I'm just proud to see my students finally really jump into the world of law" Devina said, replying to Maudy.

Then he invited Maudy and Reynald to sit in the place that had been prepared.

"I'll just call you both names is it okay?"devina asked as she looked at Maudy and Reynald.

The two agreed that Devina would only call them names.

"Both Maudy and Reynald, in two days we will meet in the trial of an illegal abortion case that has made three people as defendants named Suprayitno aka Wiro, Sutiyem and also Supriatin. According to the records I received also based on the information from the police and witnesses, it has been proven that all three will definitely be subject to a layered article".

"Either from the civil law that is the article of fraud, criminal law is the act of eliminating one's life even though it is still a fetus as well as health law for illegal abortion".

"My purpose in inviting you both is to remind us tomorrow the day between us will be opposite. But I beg you not to both give a free statement to the three people because their actions are beyond the limits of humanity".

"You should appeal the reduction of the prison term, of course, is still a consideration. And one more thing please look for witnesses who if they can reduce their charges, I only beg for humanity not to let Supriatin's mother's child be made a witness. The girl has become a victim of her own mother who asks Wiro and Sutiyem to perform an abortion against her. The reason for not wanting his son to marry the man who had impregnated him and his condition is currently still unstable,"Devina at length explained the case they will face to Maudy and Reynald. The two listened to what the prosecutor's mother had to say.

"Truly with what my mother said, we will do it. It's just that the condition of her daughter Supriatin's mother is not yet known and we thank her for the information that she conveyed" Maudy said giving her consent to everything conveyed by Devina.

After another conversation Maudy and Reynald returned to his office again.

For three days Maudy and Reynald studied and prepared all the papers in preparation for the trial.

Until the day that awaited, Darma appeared to be present using a white shirt and black pants and put himself as the family of the accused.

Before long the Judge and Prosecutor entered the room and all the silence no one dared to make a sound.

The trial was opened by the presiding judge Mr. Halim Nugraha, and in the prosecutor's seat Devina Rosalia Hamarung was seen as a public cover.

The defendants were called at the same time as Suprayitno and his wife Sutiyem, they were asked the following identity whether they had received a copy of the indictment, also asked whether they were accompanied by a General Counsel or not.

Suprayitno and his wife Sutiyem were sworn in in accordance with the religion written in his identity to answer and give the true information.

Then entered into the questioning session of the Prosecutor-General and the presiding Judge, as well as some questions that meant the defense of the stronghold of Maudy and Reynald.

In accordance with yesterday's conversation with Attorney Devina Rosalia Hamarung, the contents of the indictment are as follows:

Act fraud against the public by pretending to be a psychic who can give advice to get wealth for his victims.

Undercover extortion to Supriatin's sister under the pretext of adding to the victim's wealth.

Acts of blackmail against people who request illegal abortion to them.

Performing an illegal abortion without being supported by medical information and also not abusing without using appropriate medical equipment that endangers a person's safety.

The Public Prosecutor sentenced him to 25 years in prison.

The defense appealed its objection to the length of the prison term, and the reason it argued was that the defendant cooperatively admitted all wrongdoing, the statement said, the defendant did because of the economic crush and also the defendant did all this time because it was funded by someone else.

So after a debate that is quite difficult, and at the consideration of the Chief Justice, the sentence becomes 15 years with a reduction of prisoners for 2 months.

Because the two husbands and wives were cooperative, the trial was quickly completed. Since the time is near noon, the next trial will begin after 13:00.

Before marrying Damar, Supriatin had a son named Hilman.

Now Hilman has his own household and works well in one of the Regional People's Credit Banks.

Actually, he did not want to interfere too much in the affairs of his biological mother because he knew that his mother was a stubborn person and his wishes were hard to dispute.

The destruction of the household with his biological father was because of his mother as well. Can't bear to have a poor husband and ask for divorce by driving her husband out of the house.

After the divorce, she works at a metal shop owned by a young man named Darma, then he teases her and Darma is trapped in impregnating her.

Born Wiwit along with the time of Darma's efforts also developed further so Supriatin felt that he was a bearer of luck.

That afternoon Hilman came and sat next to my father. He apologized to his father for the actions of his mother who brought disgrace to the family.

They sat side by side while awaiting the next hearing which would call Supriatin the accused.

The trial lull is over, all court devices have occupied their respective seats just waiting for the defendant to be called in by police officers.

From a distance there was the sound of women clawing at maki not koruan. And finally at the entrance of the courtroom looked a middle-aged woman with handcuffed hands flanked by two female police officers.

The woman is seen constantly thrashing while pecking.

Then with a slightly rough look the two policemen sat the woman in the defendant's seat.

Supriatin the name of the accused woman looks annoyed and her gaze full of hatred.

After subsiding, the trial began with initial questions about the identity and condition of the accused.

The woman answered harshly to the presiding judge.

When the Legal Counsel's mentoring question came, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "I don't need anyone to help me, you all want what money.... free me!!!!".

He stood up and kicked the chair then screamed, cursing at everyone there.

"YOU ARE ALL DAMNED ... RELEASE ME...!!!!"

Then she accidentally saw her husband and son sitting on a row of court pews, she ran towards her husband.

With her handcuffed hands she pulled on her husband's shirt,"DARMA!!!! FREE ME....!!!! PAY THEM ALL ....!!!! FREE ME !!!!!".

The policewoman chased after him but he continued to thrash even the visitor seat he also kicked, one of the police women had been nudged by his hand until his nose was bleeding.

Incredibly chaos ensued in the courtroom, Supriatin was finally subdued but she still screamed and now started laughing and crying.

He was temporarily detained by the police and immediately called in a psychiatric expert to check on his condition.

And the presumption of a temporary trial was postponed again until Supriatin's psychiatric condition could be normalized again.

Damar and Hilman embraced each other, they were devastated to see the condition of Supriatin, but what power like rice has become porridge, Supriatin must account for all his actions.

The trial was eventually adjourned to an indefinite deadline given the psychiatric condition of Supriatin.

Maudy and Rey are working hard to get back to work immediately to report today's incident.

Suddenly Devina approached Maudy with her left and right cheeks.

"Maudy congratulations well.I'm proud of you, my students are so good at delivering weighty analysis and good at arguing in quality.

I hope we can meet in another trial, glad I can face you," Devina said expressing her pride to her former protege.

"Thank you Miss Devina, I am honored to be dealing with my mother so that I challenge my luck to be more observant again to present an argument according to the teachings of my mother first," Maudy responded to the former lecturer with a happy expression and was himself moved by the praise.

"I hope Maudy can continue to study again, school again hopefully can become a Judge. Come Indonesian women do not ever give up to continue to work," Devina continued her support to Maudy and of course made Maudy increasingly continue to smile widely felt himself noticed by the former lecturer.

And then before the break Devina also greeted Reynald. Whatever the position and position of a woman, Devina is still a mother-mak. When he greeted Reynald, his mother's feelings arose and he said, "Maudy let's go ahead, let your future husband remain as Legal Counsel well".

Then Devina passed towards the vehicle, and Maudy now looked confused, scratching her non-itchy head, "Prospective husband?".

Rey replied timidly, "Perhaps because Devina's mother knew all this time I've been helping you, so now you have to help me?".

" Help you????...let alone this means," Maudy was confused.

"Help me to be your future husband.and be the mother of Patiselano junior.", Reynald replied as he smiled widely.

" AAAAAHHHHHH......"
