Five minutes had passed since the judge asked where Amika was, but Amika had not appeared until now, Viona several times glanced at Sandra, confirming what really happened.
The media were whispering, where the witness said earlier was. The atmosphere of the court that was silent was suddenly crowded with whispers.
Those who had initially stared in disbelief at Claudia because of the evidence, looked back at Sandra doubtfully, with the same whisper irritating her.
"He's lying."
"He set up his own aunt."
"After killing his son he wanted to imprison his mother vilely."
"It's cruel that Miss Andrafana looks this innocent."
"Maybe he wanted to put his aunt in jail because Mrs Claudia used to tell me a lot about him and young Mr. Klaun."
The whisper continued to sound stronger and stronger, until Gerald's ear, who wanted to pretend not to hear, kept open and heard it. Gerald's frustration added.
But on the other hand, Gerald also hopes that it is not the father who did it, he does not want to be disappointed again.
Fla did not care about the whisper, he was busy calling Yana, Hainry was just as busy, he was trying to find another way, ignoring all their unfounded remarks, while in his place Claudia drew her smirk smile.
But ...
Sandra herself was still calm, she knew what the problem was Amika. A mother's problem is fear of leaving her child, Sandra knows Amika must be hard to leave her daughter Afiza.
"Sorry, my majesty, I'm late."
The door was opened, Amika and Yana looked into the courtroom, and Afiza appeared to be coming.
"Your highness, this is sister Amika, the witness we mentioned." Viona immediately pulled Amika's hand to come to the place where she had to swear and testify in earnest and honesty.
Amika was taken to that place, she stood up, all the views were directed towards her, the camera focused on Amika who was standing there.
Sandra glanced at Afiza, the boy who had brought her mother here, that genius and potential boy.
Afiza smiled haru, with tears flowing from her eyes, Sandra was also the same she smiled warmly looking at the young girl.
Because Sandra knows what makes Amika doubt.
And it was only Afiza, only Afiza could convince Amika to testify.
For Amika who is a single mother, Afiza is everything, if she confesses and explains it it is possible that Amika will be imprisoned for some time.
Although he was a child, Afiza knew his father and mother were also guilty, but also a victim, but to solve everything, the common thread had to be knitted. Amika understands that, as Sandra tries to make peace with her orphaned state, Afiza also wants to make peace with her circumstances, accepting the fact that her mother is also involved.
Admitting your mistakes and taking responsibility doesn't make you look bad, you'll be so bad when you make mistakes, throwing your responsibilities at someone else.
From Sandra, Amika learned, that strong is actually dare to make peace with yourself.
Both Amika and Afiza are sincere, accepting all the rewards, accepting everything, and trying to make a better start.
"Thank you." Sandra smiled warmly looking at Afiza, her lips forming a thank you. And Fiza knows what Sandra said.
It was hard for Fiza to take her mother to court, which would have served her mother a prison sentence, which made her mother likely to break up with her.
But Afiza also knows, wrong is still wrong. Sandra's a victim, and Sandra needs justice. A good and genius little boy, it seems like Amika managed to educate him into a smart child.
"Please tell me what you know sister Amika." Viona let Amika say it.
Amika took her breath, trying to calm down with what was happening now, she looked at her smiling daughter with tears on the guest bench present.
She was nervous, she was afraid, but the trust and affection that Afiza gave strengthened Amika.
"I Amika Nugraha vows to give true testimony regarding all these cases that I know."
"Then, what does sister Amika know?" The judge looked at Amika seriously, Amika took her breath trying to recall the incident a dozen years ago.
"Okay, one week before the incident, I, who was pregnant at the time, was kidnapped by several people, when I realized I was in a dark room, my hands were tied, she said, my mouth was gagged, and I saw Mrs Claudia Andrafana and Mr Leon Andrafana in front of me."
Amika gives a pause in her story, it is not easy for her to go back to remembering the past trauma that was the beginning of this tragedy. His chest tightened, he was a bit shaky because he was forced to tell her the bad things he had experienced a dozen years ago.
Do you know how Amika felt then?
She was young, pregnant with her first child, and had been kidnapped almost killed? Think about the trauma of this mother.
"Then, a few moments later my husband Adit Ahmadi was brought in by two people, his face was already injured, he was battered, he was even difficult to walk. At that time my husband worked as a private driver Mr. Karl Andrafana, working as a personal bodyguard for little Miss Sandra at that time. My husband loved Miss Sandra so much that he hoped our son would be similar to the little Miss."
Amika glanced at Sandra for a moment, a meaningful gaze that invited haru and tears to come down. Amika feels guilty for coming late. Amika recalled, when her husband stroked her fetus-filled belly, she always hoped their child would be as funny or as adorable as Sandra. Given that, Amika became increasingly crowded, she also felt proud because now Afiza their daughter idolized Sandra as much as Adit wanted.
"Her Majesty's interference." Jean tries to cut through the explanation of Amika who has been flooded with tears.
"Interruption request denied. The sister of the witness may continue her testimony." The judge said it, Jean can what?
"Then, Mr. Leon and Mrs Claudia asked my husband to sabotage Mr. Karl's car and his family in order for them to crash and die. My husband refused, but he was beaten. When my husband refused again, his hand was put on the foot. When my husband refused again, a knife prepared to cut my neck, until finally he agreed to sabotage the car. Because in that one knife move, the two lives of the people he loved the most would be lost." Amika was sobbing, she tried to hold back her crying, but it was hard. Her husband was tortured before her eyes, they could do nothing, both Adit and Amika were equally helpless in front of the two rulers.
"It's just a noble story, without proof it could be a false testimony." Jean repeated again, after being paid dearly he had to do something right?
