The night is getting late, the night wind is getting cold piercing the bones that enter through the balcony door open room. Curtains blown by the wind, room light illuminated by table lamps.
Rafa sat in a chair, opening sheet by sheet photo albums when he was a child. Every moment of its growth, Avram is immortalizing.
Drop by drop of tears soaked her cheeks. "Momy said, I can't cry. But I can't Dad." he said stuck to his throat.
Her tears grew as she recalled a story. Where Avram not only as a father and mother but for Rafa, Avram an angel figure for him, then he closed the photo album. He got out of the chair he was sitting in.
Taking a picture of the two on the table, when he was a child. Then put his feet up on the bed, lying down while holding the photo tightly.
"Sorry Mommy, I don't love you. But I don't have any good memories with you. Even so, it was you who gave birth to me and let me live." Rafa muttered softly.
His eyes slowly closed, tears still seeping. Slowly but surely, Rafa falls asleep.
***
Today, Rafa doesn't go to college. He decided to follow the Avram trial. Although Quenby forbade because he was worried about his son's health. Quenby is worried that if Rafa is sad and excessive emotions will interfere with his health.
But Rafa still forced, finally Quenby allowed on condition that Rafa should not be sad or excessive emotions, whatever the court decision. Rafa has to calm down and accept it all.
"Are you ready?" ask Quenby.
Rafa nodded his head. "Yes momy."
"Then we go!" quenby said, grabbing Rafa's hand and grasping it tightly.
They stepped together, out of the house. Followed by Ava and Karina. In the courtyard, Livian was waiting for them. Rafa brushed off Quenby's hand.
"I got on Mom's bike.." Rafa said slowly.
"No, you have to come with me." Reject Quenby for fear of what happened.
"Rafa's with me, Auntie!"
"Elena?" sapa Rafa turned his head towards the girl who had just come from the gate.
"Rafa.." reply Elena.
"Alright, but take care to bring the car." Quenby Message.
Rafa nodded his head, watching Quenby and Livian get into the car, followed by Karina and Ava.
"Rapid.." Elena grabbed Rafa's hand and grasped it tightly.
"Yes, El?" sahut Rafa's.
"You must be strong." Elena smiled faintly cheering Rafa on.
Elena nodded, then the two of them walked together out of the courtyard, into the car, the next second the car drove away from the house.
Throughout the journey Rafa just fell silent, staring blankly ahead. While Elena runs her car quietly, leaving Rafa with herself.
Soon they reached the courthouse. Elena and Rafa exited the car door, looking ahead. Police lined the yard, there were some paparazzi who wanted to cover the bad news from the billionaire family that was always a public consumption.
"Come on!"
Elena grabbed Rafa's right hand, nodding her head at Rafa's face. Then they walked together into the building.
Inside the courtroom, Rafa and Elena sat in the back seats of Quenby and Livian. Rafa lowered his head for a moment, squeezing both of his hands which started to break out in cold sweat. Staring softly at the back of Avram sitting in front. Then turned his eyes to the handsome-looking Police figure, standing in front of the middle staring intently at Rafa without blinking. The next second the policeman nodded and smiled towards Rafa.
Rafa again turned his gaze toward the Prosecutor and the lawyer who helped Avram. The trial began, accusation after accusation, evidence after evidence was given. Cold sweat continued to flow on his face, at this time Rafa was not focused on the course of the court, anxiety, emotions, anger had begun to occupy his brain and mind, and his thoughts were, but Rafa tries to calm down and control himself.
Until the decision of the Judge who decided that Avram was guilty and became the main suspect in the case of premeditated murder. And Avram is on death row.
"Tok Tok Tok!"
The judge knocked on the hammer, the sign of the trial ended. At that moment, everything in the room seemed to spin, Avram joked. Keep spinning in Rafa's brain. Until finally Rafa is not able to master his emotions anymore.
"Dady!!" his screams stood up and ran towards Avram, pulling his hand and dragging him to take him away.
But Rafa's efforts are in vain, some members of the Police blocking Rafa. Pulling Rafa's hand trying to prevent the police from taking Avram away. Riots in the trial ensued, Rafa's emotions became more and more so, he hit one of the Police. The other policeman was forced to hit Rafa with a small stick and forced Rafa's body to duck on the floor, with both hands in the grip of one of the Police.
"Dady..!!! peekik Rafa showed his face to see Avram was taken away by the police.
Quenby asks the police to release Rafa. "He's still a child, let go of my son!!" quenby shouted as he sobbed, pleading with the authorities.
Then the cop releases him and Rafa stands up, running out of the room chasing the car that took Avram away.
"Dady!!" Rafa continued to run after the car nonstop.
"Dady!!" Rafa gets up and runs again, so he can't chase the car anymore. Rafa fell down onto the asphalt road.
Both of his hands hit the asphalt road and shouted hysterically.
"Dady!!"
"Dady.." until the sound is gone.
Quenby, Elena and Livian who were chasing Rafa, could only sit by the side of the road. Cupping her own face while crying, there were no words that could represent Rafa or Quenby's current feelings.
"My heart was crushed by deceit and cheating. But my head is still standing. Let time reveal who is wrong and who is right, when death comes." Avram murmured in his heart.
