Mom For Bhara

49: The Courage of Law Students

The next day, Natasya is visited by someone again. Not an ordinary visit, but a visit from his lawyer, who was none other than his own lecturer and father-in-law. They no longer met in a room that was blocked by glass like yesterday, but in a special room that was soundproofed. They were watched by police officers from outside the room who were blocked by glass.

“How are you, Natasha?” asked Hendry with a gentle smile.

Natasha smiled back at him, “well, Dad. Being in a cell turns out not to be that bad.”

They both chuckled softly. Of course Hendry knew that Natasya was lying. The girl's eyes showed that she didn't feel well last night.

“Natasha,” call Hendry in a serious tone, “as a father, I must be sad to see you in this condition. But, as a lawyer, I don't want to drag on in grief, and I have to focus on releasing you. So, I hope, you are also focused on solving this case.”

Natasha nodded steadily, “of course, Pak—”

“Pak?” sela Hendry, “why do you no longer call me ‘ayah’?”

Natasya chuckles, “doesn't Mr Hendry himself say that I should focus on solving this case?”

“That means, I should consider Mr. Hendry as my lawyer, not as my father. If I still call Mr. Hendry ‘ayah’, I will definitely continue to feel emotional, and it will hinder my rationality,” Natasya said.

Hendry smiled with satisfaction at Natasya's explanation. He was proud of the professional attitude of the woman who became his daughter-in-law, client, and student.

“I look forward to your hard work as a law student in dealing with this case, Natasha,” said Hendry proudly, “so, is there anything you want to say before I start collecting evidence?”

“Of course,” says Natasha sure.

The woman smiled calmly, “Pak Hendry did not have to bother to look for evidence that strengthens me..”.

“...because I've collected evidence.. long before all this happened.”.

Hendry's smile grew wider and wider. Seeing one of his students can face the case intelligently, giving rise to its own satisfaction in the soul of the teacher. Previously, he was quite worried that Natasya would face difficulties in the trial. However, seeing the woman's confidence, Hendry was very confident that they would win the trial.

...----------------...

Today, the Natasya case trial will be held soon. Natasya was looking at herself through the reflection of the glass. Unlike the first day he was brought here. His blank and sad look turned into a confident look.

“Haah~ I think I will get more practice exams than other law students,” muttered Natasya ended with a mild nudity.

Natasya seemed very calm and confident, forgetting the fact that her entire family was constantly worried and scared. Except Hendry, of course.

Not long after, an officer approached her to be taken to the courtroom. Along the way, Natasya kept pondering what was happening to her. If Natasya had entered the courtroom with hope for Bhara's adoption petition. So now, he must enter the room again with great courage on the criminal charges leveled against him.

‘It turns out gini yes it feels like a criminal,’ Inner Natasha.

In his heart, he was quite amazed by the orange prisoner's distinctive clothes. Not that he wanted to be a real prisoner, it's just, it's a whole new experience for him.

...----------------...

Meanwhile, in the courtroom there were already several people, including all members of the Adikusuma family. Bhara was also there, held by the grandmother. Actually, they could not bear to invite Bhara to the trial, but the boy must be present because he is a victim of this case.

By the way, actually Bhara was to be taken by force by the police to be handed over to his biological mother. However, the boy continued to rebel and did not want to be released from Anjani. The police surrendered and allowed Bhara to continue with the family ‘ kidnappers’nya.

From then on, Adikusuma's family knew so that something was wrong with this case, there must have been manipulation of Natasya's report. Though it was clear that Bhara still chose to be with the Adikusuma family. The boy continued to say that Natasha was nice to him, but the police kept Natasha as a kidnapper. It doesn't make any sense.

Not long after, court protocol announced that a panel of judges would enter the chamber. As with all court procedures, everyone is required to stand until the judges sit in their own places.

Tok…

After the judge knocked on the hammer, Natasya was brought in by a court officer, two policemen, and Hendry as his lawyer.

“Mama!” bhara exclaimed in the middle of the silence as she looked at her mother.

Natasha just smiled at Bhara. He had longed and wanted to run to hug his son, but he had to hold on now. Then, Natasya was asked to sit in the examination chair in the middle of the room.

As the trial begins, the public prosecutor stands to read the charges. Natasya who listened to the indictment repeatedly frowned confused and grimaced because many were not in accordance with the actual events on the field.

“...defendant Natasha Fernandez took away Bhara's victim who was waiting for the victim's mother in the bathroom. It caused Bhara's victim to be separated from her biological mother.”.

“...defendant Natasha brainwashed the victim into hating her own biological mother..”.

“...Defendant Natasha committed gross misconduct by adopting the victim legally to cover up the kidnapping case that he has committed.”.

More or less like that, the prosecution filed charges against Natasya. All Natasha's supporters, including her family, were furious at the slander's demands.

‘Cih! This guy can't work what the hell? Very cute,’ Natasha sneer in heart.

After the public prosecutor finished reading the charges, the judge began speaking.

“Defendant's brother Natasha Fernandez, do you understand the prosecutor's indictment?”

“I understand, Your Majesty,” replied Natasha calmly.

The judge nodded, “so, Brother Natasya. You are here for the abduction of a three-year-old boy named Bhara. Right?”

“True, Your Highness.”

“Good, Brother Natasya. Is there a defense from your brother or the attorney of the brother?” ask the judge.

“There, Your Majesty,” replied Natasha.

The judge asked Natasha to speak.

“Previous, I would like to convey that I dodge all allegations submitted by the public prosecutor-"

“Wait a minute, Brother,” by judge, “here I want to emphasize that if the accused brother wants to object to the indictment, then it must include supporting evidence. Do you want to ask your legal counsel to brief you not to give baseless statements?”

Natasya's eyebrows raised next door, but then she said calmly, “I'm very familiar with that, Your Majesty. I will ask my lawyer to help me when needed later, but now, allow me to defend myself first.”

“I promise I will not be careless in following the trial or giving a statement without proof,” added Natasya with full confidence.

Everyone was amazed by Natasya's bold words. The entire Adikusuma family, especially Hendry, was proud of Natasya. Hendry is proud that Natasya can handle his own case for now. Even so, Hendry will still be behind Natasya and prepare to advance if Natasya needs him.
