THE MAFIA OF LAW
SECTION 089'S
“Jeez, Father's daughter! You just got home, son?” Yuli's father welcomed Yuli's arrival who had just returned home that night.
“Yes, it looks like so. I'm so tired today, Dad. Why haven't you slept?”
“I just slightly cleaned some of these photo displays, then I'll sleep after.” Father Yuli put the washcloth to the table “Yuli, can you talk to me for a moment?”
“Sure, what will father talk about?” Yuli immediately sat down on the chair that was nearby.
“Son, it looks like you should stop working at that law firm. Law firm courtesy of Lawyer Christ.”
“What do you mean, Father?” Yuli doesn't understand.
“If you work there to keep this photo studio and pay all of Dad's debts, you better shut this place down, and sell it to someone else, then pay off all of Dad's debts, so, so, stop working with Christiano.”
“Dad!! Why would you say that? This studio belongs to my mother. Why would you want to sell it?”
“Son, didn't you see what he was doing this afternoon, when the inauguration of Judge Lusi's father's statue in court took place? The event was a very important event and it meant a lot to Judge Lusi.”
“However, he even made a muddle in that place. You also know that, if Judge Lusi hadn't helped our family, you wouldn't be the lawyer he is today. He gave me a full scholarship when you were in college.”
Yuli pensive. His father reached out and touched Yuli's hand. “We must be kind to Judge Lusi. We should also stay away from the person who caused trouble to Judge Lusi. You understand?”
Yuli smiled slightly, and said, “Dad, I will do what I think is right, and not do what I think is wrong.”
Yuli stood up and went into her room.

The next day, early in the morning Yuli was already in the prosecutor's office to meet with Lusi.
His head was still filled with many questions and doubts about what Christ said about Lucia.
He waited outside the prosecutor's office, while waiting for some security officers who called him.
Shortly thereafter, Lusi also came still using a large robe that is usually worn by a judge. “Ah, you're coming, Yul?”
Yuli smiled. “Do I interfere, Judge Lusi? If you are busy, I can come back later.”
“Nothing, you are my special guest, Yul. There's no way I'm telling you to leave again. Let's take a walk in the back garden while chatting.”
Yuli lowered her head and followed Lusi.
The Bekasi downtown prosecutor's office has a park that is behind the building. Although not as large as the city park, but the park is well maintained.
The two of them walked together enjoying the fresh air that morning. The atmosphere between them was silent because Yuli said nothing.
“Why don't you ask anything, Yul? Though, I'm pretty sure you came here for a very obvious reason.”
“Hmmm, is that all true, everything Christ said about you?”
“It turns out that's what you wanted to ask.” Lusi smiled widely. “Yuli, do you think punishing someone with the law is a privilege?” Luci stopped his steps, then sat down on a nearby bench.
“What do you mean, Judge Lusi?” Yuli also sat next to Lusi.
“People don't think about the crimes they committed and instead blame the judge. So that's it, a lot of people hate me.”
“The more people I give a verdict on punishment, the more enemies I have. Punishing someone with the law, is not a privilege for me.”
“I'm pretty sure that's what sparked Christiano. Because of the verdict on the punishment I don't remember. He hated me, and decided to become my enemy.”
“Yuli, what do you think you know about Christianto? You don't know if he has a criminal history?”
“What do you mean, Miss Judge? I don't understand.”
“He knows a lot about you, but you don't know about him at all. It's all my fault, Yul. I should have told you earlier.”
Yuli was further confused by the words of Lusi. He doesn't know what's right and what to believe.
On the one hand he started to believe in Christ, but on the other hand, he was still loyal to Luci because he always showed a good attitude to his family.
“One of my juniors has a law firm office.” Lusi pulled out a business card. Give it to Yuli.
“You can become a lawyer in the office of this law firm. I'll tell my junior, if you're ready to stop working with Christ.
Yuli just silently lowered her head while looking at the business card in her hand.
“Originally you know, Yuli. I really don't like to see people I love working with people who are hostile to me.”
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Yuli remained silent and thought hard.
“Good, Yuli. Call me when you're ready. I have to go back to the office and finish my work.” Lusi stood tidying up his suit.
“Good, Madam Judge. Thank you very much.” Yuli looked down at the footsteps of Lusi leaving the park.
