Reaching the Miss (Daddy)

62

Nara and Khansa sit behind Tama and Idris. They were on the left side while Shella and the victim's family were on the right side.

The atmosphere was very quiet before the start of the trial. One by one they put themselves in their own position.

"The trial is declared open and open to the public" said the presiding judge began the trial process and then knocked the hammer.

PU was ordered to bring the defendant before the trial in a free state.

As the defendant, Rania was asked if she was in good health and willing to be examined before the trial. Rania replies that she is healthy and the trial can continue.

The right to continue reading the indictment submitted by the plaintiff to the defendant.

After a time-consuming process, and there was little debate about the indictment, the judge asked witnesses to testify about the accident that killed one child.

"We will proceed to the stage of examination of witnesses submitted by PU. Please start from the victim witness to put yourself in the place we have provided"

A man who saw the incident immediately came forward to give his testimony. He said if the car with high speed drove to finally hit a boy and slammed the steering towards the left.

He said that the boy had bounced three meters high before being sprawled in the middle of the road. A moment later, instead of being responsible, the car that hit him just drove back and one of them wrote the license plate number then reported to the authorities.

This is how the eyewitness who saw the incident.

Now it was her turn to testify, and before that, she had been sworn to tell the truth in witnessing. Though slightly trembling, but he tried to cover it very tightly.

"To the next witness, please get started"

After three seconds, Shella started to say "Good morning" She said trying to normalize her expression. "Before, I apologized to the families of the victims I had already hit" He sighed before then continuing his sentence. "At that time, Rania's mother and I were in one car, I was the one driving my car. But while I was driving, Ms. Rania dropped my focus so I lost control"

"What did Miss Rania do that made you lose your concentration on driving?" Ask the public prosecutor.

"He's raging sir" Dustanya with a serious look, while Rania shone a look of disbelief.

"He slapped me, grabbed my hair, he tried to hit me sir. I tried to calm him down, but his actions just got wilder. I had also persuaded him not to do his silly actions, but he replied, We better die together. That's what he said sir"

"Then, what triggered your quarrel in the car?"

"She asked me to help her stumbling company, but I refused to help her, which is where she got angry and ended up going berserk"

"So that's why you couldn't control the car and ended up bumping into a kid, is that it?"

"True sir, besides, he also tried to disturb my hand that was driving" he added without hesitation. "When I turned the steering wheel to the right, he turned it to the left, and when I adjusted to the left, he screwed it up by turning it to the right, that's where I can't control my car very well"

"Lies judge" Rania parried Shella's words and threw a sharp glare at her. "What he said was not entirely true sir, indeed I asked him for help to recover my company, but I never rampaged in his car what else beat him, we just clashed, we just beat him up, and even then I do still in my self-control"

"He lied sir" Shella won't lose. "If he doesn't go berserk in my car, there's no way the accident happened, I can definitely drive my car properly"

"Shella, why are you slandering me?"

"I'm not slandering, I'm telling you the truth Miss Rania"

"Peace everyone, calm down" concluded the judge with high intonation while knocking his hammer.

Shaking her head, Rania did not end up thinking with the attitude of Shella, the woman she had always been proud of was very cruel to slander her, even stabbing her several times. In the midst of his daydream, he also remembered the slander he had laid for Nara.

"All because he is sir" Shella continued pointing at Rania with a hand as well as a cynical look. "He who caused the accident, he who made the child die"

"I didn't do that sir" Rania still tried to defend herself by refuting all of Shella's talk. "Shella you've been sworn to be honest in giving testimony, why are you saying things that are not true"

"Everything I said was true sir, she was very upset that I refused her request, you know she is a wicked, arrogant, arrogant woman, he even had the heart to throw his own grandson out of the hospital, a grandson who was struggling from leukemia, wasn't that an act of crime sir?"

Rania lowered her head in frustration. With Shella's lies, she doesn't believe she can be free of all charges. He thought he would stay in jail for a long time.

"Well, are there any other witnesses?" ask the JPU before proceeding.

"I object to all the testimony from Miss Shella sir" Nara said as she stood up.

Hearing a voice from someone, they compactly shift their attention towards the source of the sound, including Rania, Shella, Idris and also Tama.

Simultaneously, Tama and Idris looked back.

"Darling?" tama Lirih.

Nara briefly glanced at her husband for a moment, before then re-centered her net straight ahead.

Khansa who sat next to him was surprised and confused by the action of her best friend.

"Who are you?" ask the chief judge.

"I'm Naraya, wife of Rania's son?"

"You're Rania's mother's daughter-in-law?"

Once in doubt, Nara finally nodded despite being very slow.

"Allow me to call for my exception, judge"

"All right, let us allow it" he said after nearly a minute.

With elegant leisurely steps, Nara walked forward to where the witness stood.

As she stepped up, the people watching the congregation whispered to each other, they guessed what Nara would say in front of everyone.

Tama, Idris and Khansa are no exception.

"What does Nara mean, Tama?"

"I also don't know well, we'll just wait for what Nara will say"

Unsatisfied with the son's answer, Idris looked back to ask Khansa.

"Son Khansa, is this your plan?" ask Idris to investigate. Not no reason, Idris asked Khansa because all three friends often do unexpected things.

"Not om, we did not plan anything, either yesterday or last night, there was no talk from Nara who said that she would fend off the accusation against Miss Rania"

"Please Miss Nara"

Nara nodded before saying, while Idris, Tama and Khansa refocused themselves forward.

"Good morning everyone" he said casually but remained firm. "I want to give my opinion on the case that befell Ms. Rania" he said again with great calm. "Our judge, we've heard what Miss Shella said and the refutations from Ms. Rania. From this we can conclude that we cannot trust both sides because there are no other witnesses in the car"

The judges responded with head nods confirming Nara's remarks.

"We do not know who is telling the truth, and who is lying. If we trust one of them, it means that one of them feels at a disadvantage, because what we believe is also not necessarily true. But Mr. Hakim" added Nara with a serious look. "There's one way to find out what happened in the car before the accident"

Everyone was getting curious about the words that came out of Nara's mouth.

"We can check the CCTV inside Miss Shella's car"

"Oh my God, I forgot the CCTV in my car, how it is" Inner Shella as she swallowed her saliva half-dead. "You're rude, Nara, you can think up to it"

"I'm sure the judge, if the CCTV was recorded all the activity in Miss Shella's car"

The seconds of Nara's words made Shella clench her hands tightly, her face heated up, her chest rumbling violently withstanding the bubbling emotions and nervousness that stopped at the same time.

"Including Miss Shella's quarrel as well as Miss Rania's" Nara added, throwing a slanted look at Shella.

"Can't" Sergey was quick. "That recording is my privacy, I won't let anyone check it"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about Miss Shella, we just checked the footage on the date, day, and minute before the accident happened. We want to make sure all your testimonies are miss, nothing more. We're not interested in your privacy"

"I'm sorry, but I object" said Shella.

"Sir Prosecutor, it is the privacy of my client, please appreciate_"

"It's in the interest of investigating the lawyer" Cut Nara quickly. "Who's hindering the investigation, that's a crime, isn't it, prosecutor?"

Everything was made by him. She did know the incident that happened to Rania because Tama had told her everything without missing a single bit.

"So it's better sir, we check the CCTV footage so we all know what happened in the car before the accident, we'll know if anyone went berserk and grabbed his hair or not"

"What the hell are you Nara?" snide with glittering eyes.

"If everything you say is true, nothing is added or reduced, you should not be afraid miss"

Shella fell silent, unable to dodge anymore.

"Well, what Miss Nara said is true. If there's CCTV in the car, we have to look into it" the judge said. "To the officers, please check the CCTV footage. And to Miss Shella, we asked to open the car door"

Let's see Rania, after my defense today, do you still hate me, or do you still not want to accept Amara?

After your bankruptcy, did you still judge me to love your son for treasure?

Had it not been for my great love for your son, I would not have defended you, had it not been for the kindness of your husband, I would have laughed satisfied with your suffering. And if it wasn't for Amara, I wouldn't be in touch with you anymore.

Just so you know Rania, in the eyes of Amara, you are a flawless omma, so proud of her for you, the granddaughter you wanted to kill while still in the womb.

I hope that from this incident, you will realize that everything does not have to be about material things, hopefully you will realize your mistakes and admit all the slander that you accused me in front of Tama and Dad.

I forgive you because I want to get affection from you, like Anita who was so loved by her mother-in-law.

I don't know when you can love me like a real child. But I will not stop my efforts to take your heart, I will not break my patience to reach your love. Like Amara who tries hard to reach her daddy misses. I'll do that to you, too, Rania.

Dissolved in her own mind, knowing the party who checked the footage had returned to the courtroom and immediately awakened Nara from her daydreaming action.

Seriate.

if there is time for revision.
