Stains And Wounds
Chapter 62 #Second Trial#
This morning Vania woke up with nausea that she could not bear anymore. He ran towards the bathroom and vomited his stomach. Vania was silent as she had already experienced this for a few days. Vomiting and the condition of his body also felt very weak and helpless.
What's wrong with me, why do I keep being like this.
Vania could not silence herself like this, she had to be checked immediately so she knew how she was doing. Vania came out of the room with a pale face and a weak body. He walked over to the mother who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"You why Va? Pale as his face"
"Yes Mom, I don't feel well. Wind in like that"
"Take the medicine first Va"
Vania nodded, she let out a long sigh. Thinking about what might happen to him. Vania had already seen the news on television about Papa asking for the death penalty. Vania feels that Papa is really sorry and she is trying to make amends.
Actually, this is not what I expected either. Just admitting his mistakes is enough. Because whatever the punishment, it still won't make my mother and father come back to life.
I don't know what Vania should be doing right now. He was also confused and did not understand what he had to do, to deal with all these problems.
"Va, you're daydreaming"
Vania blinked as Mother's voice sounded and resuscitated her. "Yes ma'am, what's wrong?"
"You open the door, please. It's like someone's coming"
Vania nodded, she stood up and walked towards the door. When he opened the door. Vania let out a long sigh as she looked at Gara who was standing in front of her at this moment. As long as he had not met Gara, the man no longer met Vania. And now he just came back.
"What did you want to come here?"
"I want to see Gevin, how you and Gevin are doing"
"Geviin's still asleep, you just wait inside. I'll wake him up"
Because she nodded, at least even though Vania still looked cold to her. But he never forbade Gara to meet his son. Sitting on the couch, Vania returns from the room with her son.
"Loh Ga, here you are.Where is the culture?" ask Jenny who just appeared in the living room. He just woke up because last night had to secure some new flowers coming from the plantation.
"Then get Gevin to his room"
Jenny nodded her head understandingly, she sat down beside Gara and patted the man's thigh. "You'll have to be patient again against Vania. Yeah, so he's certainly not that hard either. Vania's been through too many hard things in her life. So you have to be really patient for that."
Because he was crying, he was very grateful because when Vania used to leave him while she was pregnant, he met Jenny who was so kind and sincere to him.
"Yes Jen, I'm trying to solve all this, too. You must have seen the news on tv, right? About Papa's latest news"
Jenny nodded, she patted Gara on the shoulder to make the man even stronger. Obviously Jenny saw the fragility in Gara who was so vulnerable.
"Actually Papa deliberately chose the punishment because he felt that a life must be paid with life. Maybe it's too late now"
Am I being too selfish to think about my feelings?

Days changed weeks, it was time for the second trial to take place. Where the judge's decision will be declared today for the sentence that will befall Papa. But until now Papa is still asking for the death penalty for the punishment that will be imposed on him later.
Tok.dok..
The judge hit the hammer to make the atmosphere calmer and the trial will begin soon. "In accordance with the decisions you make according to the existing laws. And by the defendant's desire for the death penalty. So with this brother Jhonatan Warden officially sentenced to death...."
"I don't agree!"
The loud shout of someone who had just entered the courtroom made all pairs of eyes fixed on him. Even the cameras of the reporters took pictures.
"Vania" said Papa when he saw Vania who entered the courtroom together with Jenny.
"Who are you?" ask the Chief Judge there.
"I am Vania, the child of the victim"
The judge and prosecutor discussed each other in whispers. As if talking about the continuation of the trial this time.
"Well, please sit down and say what makes you disagree"
Actually, Vania's testimony has been waiting for a long time. But Vania really just came today. The final trial.
"I don't agree that the defendant should be sentenced to death. Because with full awareness and without coercion from any party. I, Vania, as the child of the victim of the robbery, have fully forgiven the guilt of the accused. And I asked the chokes to be released, because let me finish all this in a familial way"
Vani's testimony was really shocking. Gara and Mama were also very surprised by the testimony given by Vania. Especially with Papa, the man even glazed when he heard how Vania who was so sincere and willing to forgive all the mistakes he had made so far.
After a few minutes the judge and prosecutor deliberated to consider Vania's testimony. Finally, the judge tapped the hammer and said that Papa was free from punishment because the victim stopped this legal process and chose to make peace.
Mama's cry immediately broke when she heard that her husband was free. And Gara immediately hugged Mama's body that shook violently with a sigh of relief. Finally Papa was not given the death penalty and was instead freed from the punishment thanks to Vania.
Papa stood up and approached where Vania was sitting, he knelt down in front of Vania and held the girl's leg. Of course Vania felt uncomfortable, she tried to get rid of Papa's hand holding her leg.
"It doesn't need to be like this Pa, Vania's not tasty. Come on, Papa just stand up"
"Thank you for everything Va, sorry that Papa once ruined your life. From now on Papa really promises not to make the same mistake again. Papa's really sorry Va"
Vania held Papa's hand which held her leg. Release the handrails on his feet. "Yes Pa both. The Vania Lagian also could not constantly harbor anger and resentment. Because the parents of Vania will not return again even though Vania continues to hold grudges and anger. Vania has forgiven Papa"
