The Truth Will Win

This second trial is more visitors than the previous trial. Like Lani they also want to know the continuation of the case. Some want to provide moral support for Bu Niar and some – families – victims of course so long for justice for the late Lady Amalia. Whatever their obvious purpose their presence had crowded the courtroom. Lani glanced at the circular watch on her right wrist, the next few minutes of the trial would begin. He sighed. Honestly, Lani is very restless in contrast to Andre who sits quietly in front of there.

After opening the hearing, the judge began an examination of the witnesses. The first witness to be called was Mr. Wijaya. After his oath was taken, the panel of judges gave him some questions. The judge then gives the same opportunity to the public prosecutor and the defendant's legal counsel.

“Brother witness, how many years has the family brother employed the accused? “ asked Andre after thanking the judges for the opportunity given.

“Three years.“

“During those three years, did the defendant work well according to your expectations? “

“Yes, that's it. Although there are still many shortcomings here but I admit Mbok Niar has worked quite well. “

“Then, has the defendant ever committed violence in your home?

Dahi Wijaya wrinkled. “Never. “

“Before death did the victim ever tell you anything about the defendant's attitude to him? “

“My wife told me that she had burned Mbok Niar's kebaya and cut her salary.“

“About anything else, for example, it is possible that the accused has almost committed acts of violence or

attempted murder of the victim?“

“No.“

“What brothers often interact with the accused? “

“Rare.  “

Andre nodded. “My question is enough. Thank you, honorable judge.“

“Good, brother witness. Thanks for your explanation brother. Now our brother please return to the place.“

Mr. Wijaya returned to his place.

The second witness was Mr. Samin.

“Monya and Mbok Niar had a fight because Mbok Niar made his beloved shirt which he just bought damaged by ironing. Madam was angry and burned Mbok Niar kebaya and threatened to cut Mbok Niar's salary and not allow him to go home tomorrow.“

“When was the incident?“

“Sunday before Madam dies.“

“You saw the incident immediately? “

“I see, Your Grace.“

“After the incident, did the victim ever quarrel again with the accused? “

“Yes. Almost every day Madam scolded Mbok Niar, Your Majesty. I've even seen Madam slam a pot filled

soup to the floor while Mbok Niar is cooking. "

The two witnesses examined have not given a bright spot to the case. Andre seemed to think hard. Lani herself must hold her breath imagining the case that so caught her attention this finds a dead end. If there is not a single witness who can relieve Ms. Niar, then what is her next fate. Lani took a deep breath.

Someone was led into the middle of the trial. His presence makes visitors kasak kusuk trial including Lani himself. Even Andre was unable to hide his surprise. This person was the one he was always looking for, the one who raised a little suspicion for suddenly disappearing after the murder. Even his own family did not know of his existence. That guy is Surip, the handyman

the Wijaya family garden.

“That night I was actually planning to go home, but there was my unfinished work, because of that

I finally stayed.“

Andre narrowed his eyes.

“I usually wake up before dawn, but that morning I woke up late. When I go to the room

bathing, I was surprised to see someone stab Madame Amalia with a knife. “

Lani held her breath.

Surip wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

“Dan..that person is..” Surip again wiped his sweat. “Bu Niar. “ he said softly.

There was a noise coming from the direction of the visitor's seat. Lani was so overwhelmed with Andre as well. Maam

Niar immediately shouted.

“I'm not a killer. That's slander. The surip! You can slander Mom. You know, you can't do that. “ Bu Niar sobbing.

The visitors also shouted.

“Please relax! “ Judge knocks hammer many times.

Now it's all really fucked up. Andre clenched his jaws tightly. The judge asked about the testimony of the witnesses to Ms. Niar, Ms. Niar could only be as excited, she really looked very depressed.

“Good, trial will resume next week. “ Judge knocks hammer.

If the earth is currently divided, it feels like Bu Niar really wants to enter into it. Buried himself alive, for he had completely been destroyed. Her tears broke as Andre and Lani visited her in custody.

“I really don't do that. I did not kill the lady. But why Surip slandered me. “

Lani rubbed her arms softly.

“Nak Lani believes the same

me? “

Lani glanced at Andre who was pretending to play his tie.

“You know that night Surip stayed? “

Miss Niar nodded.

“Actually Surip is what kind of person is Mom? I mean, his nature. “

“Surip that I know is very good. I wonder why he could say that. “

Lani fixed the location of her glasses while looking at Andre who had just been silent. The man's forehead was full of wrinkles, he knew Andre must be upset. He took out a bottle of mineral water that was still intact from his bag.

“Mas, drink first.“ Lani poured the mineral water on Andre.

Andre jerked from his daydream, Lani stared at for a moment and received the drinking water offered by Lani.

“Thank you. “ Andre opens the lid and then gulps the contents in half.

Lani smiles. “Haus is so, Mas? “

Andre's eye was raised.

“Kok did not drink from earlier if thirsty. “

“I don't remember anything thinking. “

“So, how next? “

“I still don't know. “

Lani turned to Bu Niar who had calmed down a little.

“You know not Lan, I wonder where Surip came from?“ Andre bit his lower lip. “I have been looking for it but did not meet, now it suddenly appears. “

“Mas suspect something? “

Andre did not reply, he instead asked Bu Niar. “ Ma'am, is it true that Mrs Amalia and Mr Wijaya's family are not harmonious? “

“What do you mean by Andre? “

“I mean, hmm..I've heard, she said Mrs Amalia had an affair. Is that really so? “

Bu Niar was stunned. “I don't know for sure, but Samin once told me that several times he drove Madam to meet a man at the hotel. At that time I did not respond because I did not want to be bad.“

Andre's face turned a little bright. “Did Mr Wijaya know that? “

“I don't know. I have heard Mr and Mrs quarrel a few times, but I have not

know because what. “

Andre wrote something in his little book.

"I'm just leaving, Andre. I cannot be free. “

“Mom don't talk like that, we will definitely try our hardest to find the evidence that

relieve mom. “ says Lani.

“I will keep trying, Mom. Mother do not be weak so dong. “said Andre. “ God will surely show us the way. “

“The truth will definitely win Bu. “ said Lani steady.

Andre. Like there was a magnet, Lani turned her head, they stared at each other. A second later, Andre immediately threw his gaze in another direction, while Lani lowered her head. Again, the roar in the heart came. He istighfar repeatedly.
