I'm Again My Husband
Someone From the Past

"Good afternoon. You looking for me?" sapa Pras's.

The male guest turned around to make Pras' eyes widen when he saw who his guest was. "You?"

"Yes, Mr. Pras," said the man.

"What are you coming to my house?"

"Can we talk while we sit?" ask the guest.

"Please." Pras pointed to the sofa as a gesture to let his guests sit down. He sat on the sofa opposite his guest.

"I didn't come here for work, but there were other problems" the guest said.

"I'm sorry, just finished the phone" said a woman who had just walked into the living room.

"Talk, this is my wife, Widia." The guest introduced his wife.

Pras just nodded. "There is a need for Mr Bayu to come here?"

"I'd like to ask you to drop your demands on Niko" replied the guest named Bayu.

Pras frowned until his eyebrows were almost in chains. "What is your relationship with that man?" pras tanya sharp. Hearing Niko's name made her emotions rise.

"Niko is our son" Widia replied. "I'm begging you to drop your demands on our son."

Pras hardened his jaw, his hands clenched firmly. "Now I ask you, Mr. Bayu. If your wife was kidnapped and nearly raped, would you forgive the person who kidnapped and raped your wife?"

Pras's voice was not high, but it was so sharp that it pierced the reeds of his guests. Until the two guests seated before him were unable to speak. They are only able to swallow their own saliva with great difficulty. Pras smiled slantedly looking at the two.

"If you are able to answer my questions without feeling guilty and sinful, maybe I can consider" Pras said. "If you can't answer, please, my door is still open."

Pras stretched his hand towards the door. The signal made the couple silent and looked at each other. "But, Sir. Is there no other way for our son to be free?" ask Ms. Widia.

"Ask your husband.If you become a victim like my wife, will she forgive with ihlas the abuser and attempted rape against you without anger and resentment?"

"Ma, let's go home," asked Mr. Bayu.

"But, Pa. I don't want Niko to go to jail" said Widia. "I beg you, sir" he asked, cupping both hands in front of Pras.

"You're a wife, maybe you can't feel what I feel. You have a daughter?" Ms. Widya nodded slowly. "If your daughter were in my wife's position, would you forgive her?"

Bu Widia pegged, unable to answer Pras's question. Mr. Bayu grabbed his wife's hand. "Come, Ma. We're home." Back Pak Bayu took his wife. By force, Ms. Widia followed her husband's steps out of Pras' house.

Pras to the living room after closing the door. She saw Ana still sitting on the sofa and on her lap lying the heads of her two sleeping children. She moved both of her children to the room so Ana could take a break.

"Who was that?" anna asked as Pras was already sitting next to her.

"The old bastard," furious Pras suppressed his emotions. "It turns out he is the son of Mr. Bayu," continued Pras.

"You know his parents?"

"He once refused to cooperate with the company I worked for" Pras replied. "Here you go, rest in the room. You still need a lot of rest." Pras guides Ana into the room.

Ana is ready to go to court. Pras, Deby and Alan were called as witnesses. Ana leaves her two children to her mother. Ana was nervous, her hands were cold and trembling. He does not want to see Niko's face, but his testimony is needed for the smooth process of the legal process.

Pras clasped Ana's hands while in the waiting room. He always gave his wife the strength to face it all together. Pras knows that Ana is a little traumatized to meet Niko. But Ana must face it, unable to constantly let her fear of the man remain.

"You can, honey. You certainly can, maybe by being imprisoned he'll be deterred." Pras continues to encourage his wife.

Deby walks into the waiting room where Ana is. She knew Ana was very nervous, clearly visible on her best friend's face. "You can do it, An. They should be the ones who are nervous about facing punishment, not you."

"I don't want to see their faces, Deb. I'm sick and hate them" Ana said.

"Therefore, you shall fight them in trial. They should be severely punished for what they did to you, to your family" Deby said.

"Yes..."

A call shifted the focus of the three of them. Not far from them, stood a man wearing a black suit. Ana stared at the man sharply, ascertaining if he was really the man she knew.

"Have you forgotten me, An?" ask the man. "Hi, Deb," she said to Deby.

"Hi," Deby replied.

"Rifly?" call Ana unsure.

"It turns out you still remember me" said the man smiling. "What are you doing here?"

"I,,, I'm, will face trial," Ana replied stammered with nervousness.

The man named Rifky was surprised. "What case?"

Before Ana could answer, a woman whispered something to Rifky and asked him to leave. "Sorry, I have to go. I hope we can meet again, An." Rifky nodded his head at the three of them and left.

"Who is he?" pras tanya sharp.

"He's my high school friend, Mas," Ana replied.

"Friends only?" pras asked again, this time full of investigation.

Deby who felt bad chose to leave the room. Pras stared intently at Ana who looked nervous. "It's just friends, An?" Ana still has not opened her voice when the court summons. Ana who felt Pras' gaze was different finally told me about who Rifky was.

the courtroom is crowded. Both Pras' parents and Ana's father were present at the hearing. Ana enters the trial with Pras. Her husband was always beside her, holding her shoulder to give her strength.

Ana lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone. Her father and two in-laws gave hugs before Ana sat on the witness stand. He did not realize that there was a pair of eyes staring at him sharply unblinkingly. Pras who was behind him stared back at the owner of those eyes.

The Chief Judge has already knocked the hammer sign of the trial beginning. After being invited by the Chief Justice, the defendant's lawyer stood in front of Ana to ask questions. Ana looked up, her eyes wide open to see who was standing in front of her.
