INSULATION (Troublemaker)
Chapter 212

With hands interlocked, Maura sat herself in the chair previously occupied by Mama Rina.

Sitting Maura in the chair is certainly not separated from the sharp gaze of Mama Rina who is currently sitting next to the lawyer.

Maura did not care about that hostile look. He chose to look straight ahead where the judges were.

"Sister Maura Queensy Louis, are you really the victim of an attempted murder by Rina Amelia's sister?" ask the judge, which he would refer to Maura.

Nervously, Maura replied, "True noble."

The judge nodded his head.

"Well, you're here to bear witness to this case. So please tell me the chronology of the incident" the judge asked.

"Ready man." Strictly and not a single word was heard to make Maura tell in detail the incident that almost hurt him until the moment in the midst of his testimony he uttered, he said, there was a table buzz from Mama Rina. Of course it diverts all attention of all people in the courtroom that is no exception judges, prosecutors and so forth.

Brak!!

"That's not true! You lied! The first one to look for that problem you're not me! You are the one who suddenly dragged my body towards the front of the morgue. At first you were going to lock me up in that room. I fought back at that moment because I didn't want to be locked up there and the resistance I did was by throwing a knife at you which I happened to bring after peeling fruit for my daughter! I haven't put the knife down yet because you dragged me in first! What you said just now is not true. He lies that start. He's alibi! Here the wrong thing is he's not me!" Mama Rina did not accept even though the evidence was clear if Mama Rina was wrong in this case. The judges have also seen the evidence. And the reason they told Maura to tell the chronology of the story so that they can explore this case more deeply and so that they are not wrong when sentenced later.

Maura who heard Mama Rina making a commotion, she rolled her eyes lazily while muttering, "Strue storyteller."

Dear murmur Maura was not heard by anyone.

While on the other hand, Mommy Della who heard Mama Rina reverse the facts, she snorted annoyedly. If only he could not bear the husband to teach the crazy woman a lesson, Mommy Della would have moved closer to Mama Rina and torn the woman's mouth. But unfortunately his desire must be prevented by Daddy Aiden.

The judge who didn't want to mess up the trial this afternoon, his hand moved, hitting the hammer in front of him.

Tok tok tok!

"Hope not to make a fuss here! And for your sister Rina Amelia, please shut your mouth! Let Maura Queensy Louis' sister testify" the judge said.

The legal authority of Mama Rina also now blocked the middle-aged woman's arm and slightly pulled it so that Mama Rina again sat in her chair because when she kicked the table earlier Mama Rina stood up from her seat.

Surely the pull done by the law enforcement managed to make Mama Rina sit back, then after the law enforcement brought her face to the ears of Mama Rina to say, "You can calm down no. You know, the more you don't have the manners, the more severe the punishment you'll receive will be. And do you know actually you can not evade because all the evidence provided by Maura Queensy Louis has cornered you. You can no longer avoid it as you say, because it will only be useless."

Mama Rina clenched her hands as she heard the whisper from her lawyer. It seems that he was wrong to seek a lawyer so that the lawyer should defend himself, precisely that person defending their opponent.

The judge who had not seen the movements of Mama Rina wanted to speak again, he turned his eyes towards Maura. Then he said, "Please continue your testimony sister Maura Queensy Louis."

The order of the judge was certainly taken by Maura. So that he now continues to give his testimony until the end. No more commotion after that. Mama Rina was speechless but visible from the look in her eyes, the woman was truly vengeful with Maura. Even the woman promised herself that if she was free from the bars, she would avenge Maura. He will never give the woman who has ruined her life, her household and her relationship with her family a chance to live on this earth. He swore he would kill Maura, although he would end up in the bars again, but it was fine, as long as he could kill Maura, he was satisfied. And do not forget, he also had to avenge the actions of the Abhivandya family, especially Erland, which was the reason his daughter was admitted to the hospital. He will truly repay all those who have changed the course of his life.

When Mama Rina was busy with her evil plans in the future, Daddy Aiden who caught the gelagat also he leaned her body a little forward, he said, then he patted Erland's thigh gently next to his wife.

Erland slit one of her eyebrows as her representative to ask "Why?" to the Daddy.

Daddy Aiden coded Erland through the movement of his head so that his son would lean on his body so that he could freely talk to Erland.

Surely the code from Daddy Aiden was caught by Erland, the man is now immediately doing what Daddy Aiden has ordered. And as he leaned in, Daddy Aiden further eroded the distance between his face and the son's face before he said, "After the verdict of the judge, you will keep an eye on Maura wherever she is not to be careless. Because Daddy is worried that Rina will return to act to hurt Maura through the hands of others even though she is imprisoned. So to attend to things we don't want, you do what Daddy said. If you need more supervision at your in-laws' house. Youunderstand?"

At first Erland did not believe in his Daddy's remarks because it was quite difficult for people who were in prison to tell others to continue the criminal acts he had previously committed. But considering that Mama Rina still has Papa Jaya and Orla, it seems like she must be on standby to keep Maura 24 hours so that she now nods her head in agreement. Though without him knowing if the two people he suspected would work with Mama Rina was no longer willing to deal with the woman.

Then Erland and Daddy Aiden sat back as firmly as before. Fighting like they were not talking anything so as not to arouse suspicion to the people there.

While Mommy Della who had been a barrier between Erland and Daddy Aiden, she was eager to be talked to by the discussion that had happened between the child and her husband, it was, but as much as possible he should hold back his sense of the piety and better he went back to listening to the questions raised from the judge for his son-in-law.

...****************...

With a hand that felt cold and trembling, Maura stood up from her sitting position, bowed a little to honor the judge in front and after that she stepped her feet that felt like jelly to the place where her husband's family was. The determination of his heart that wanted to be brave when passing the many questions raised by the judge was not comparable to reality. Maura still could not suppress her nervousness. But thankfully he was still able to answer the question posed by the judge earlier, he was also grateful to be given smoothness when he told the chronology of events, even when he told a story, Mama Rina continued to dodge and accused him back, almost the woman was rampaging earlier, if not secured by the police.

Maura now sits her body in the chair she was sitting in, her head resting on her husband's shoulder as she murmurs, "Never face a situation like this again. Wanted to faint huh."

Erland who certainly heard the words from Maura, she widened her eyes.

"You want to faint, honey? If you want to faint later at home. Now hold back your curiosity first," said Erland, who made Maura gawk in disbelief before she stared fiercely at her husband and lightly pinched Erland's arm.

Erland who got the pinch, almost himself screamed in shock and felt pain in his arm. But fortunately Erland is aware that he is currently in the courtroom, he quickly closed his lips tightly so as not to make the slightest sound of course by holding his breath until Maura released a pinch on his arm, and that was when Erland just raised his voice.

"Darling, you're the fuck playing pinch I did. Good thing I didn't scream because of reflexes, if I yelled how did I try? Where he was in front of many more judges, there was a fall I was considered disrespectful to all people even all the people in Indonesia," erland said of course with a whispering voice as his hand stroked his arm that had been pinched by Maura.

"Ck, anyways I pinched you also because you told me to faint later when at home. People faint in their place. And one more thing, I don't want to faint whether it's here, at home or anywhere else. Do not get amit-amit deh," said Maura.

"Lha didn't you just say you were gonna faint?" Maura rolled her eyes lazily.

"That's just a parable because his body felt very weak after facing tension for 30 minutes. Huh." For the umpteenth time Maura sighed.

While Erland, the man was oh riya when he heard the explanation from Maura earlier.

"Thank God you didn't faint. And I apologize for what I said earlier, and next time you also have to improve your attitude huh. Do not do anything like before in public places like today. It's not good until I scream. You understand, don't you, baby?" Maura nodded her head.

"Don't repeat it again, yes" said Erland who again only replied with a nod by Maura.

As for Erland, he smiled before one of his hands moved to grasp the two cold-feeling palms of Maura.

"Honey, don't be alone first" Erland pinta.

"Why?" asked Maura there was a tone of dislike from her voice earlier.

"There's something I have to do" Erland said, which made Maura frown. But Maura did as the husband had told her.

"Let me warm your hands first. Later when it's warm again, you want to rest your head on my shoulder as long as possible up to you," said Erland who did not directly answer Maura's kekebaran about what Erland would do so as to tell himself to uphold his seat.

And when Maura knew the reason Erland said that just because she wanted to warm her hands, she smiled. Her husband is the best, always knows what he wants and needs before he asks for it. And that is what makes Maura every day in love with the man who has the status of her husband.

Erland continued to warm Maura's hands as the judges consulted on what criminal charges they would give Mama Rina to account for her actions.

Mama Rina is now back in the front seat of the judge. The look of the woman's eyes never dimmed even though in front of her eyes right now there is someone who determines her future.

Not long after, the judges returned to face everyone present at the trial. And marked by the judge knocking on the hammer, everyone there no one dared to speak anymore. They were all silent, waiting for the judge to speak.

"According to the applicable law, Rina Amelia's sister has violated the laws of Article 338 jo Article 53 Paragraph (3) of the Criminal Law Act (KUHP) by being sentenced to 20 years in prison!"

Tok tok!

The voice of the judge was greeted with a hammer knock, indicating that the case had been closed with Mama Rina who was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Surely the decision did not make Daddy Aiden satisfied, he thought that they would punish Mama Rina with the death penalty or at least for life. But it turns out everything is not as he wanted.

"It looks like Daddy has to appeal" Daddy Aiden said with angry eyes.

Maura, who heard the words of the in-law, immediately looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Why does Daddy want to appeal?"

Maura really did not understand the reason her in-laws wanted to do this.

Daddy Aiden who was asked also he looked at Maura just a moment before his gaze returned to the front, staring right at Mama Rina who was herded by the police for them to enter the detention cell.

"The punishment that mad woman had was not worth what she had done. The punishment he deserves is the death penalty" said Daddy Aiden.

"Yes, that's right. The judge should have given the death penalty instead of just 20 years in prison. Ck, shitty!" timpal Mommy Della. The middle-aged woman is as unaccepted as Daddy Aiden.

Maura now looked at her husband, asking Erland for help so that his father-in-law would not appeal. Honestly, the judge's decision was satisfactory for Maura because their case was not severe, he who was the victim was also not injured in the slightest, instead, Mama Rina who became a suspect had hurt him. And this case also did not take his life. So it was very fitting the sentence given by the judge for Mama Rina earlier.

Erland who was looking at the heartwarming gaze from Maura, she let out a long sigh. He agreed with both his parents. But he also could not refuse his wife's request plus saw the look of Maura that made him want to eat it right now. So Erland helped Maura to speak to Daddy Aiden and Mommy Della about the matter.

"Mom, Dad," called Erland who made the two people he was calling look at him.

"What?" mommy Della asked fiercely.

"Wusss relax Mom relax. Erland only wants to represent Maura speaking of this, if she doesn't want you to appeal," erland said to the point to the point before he was exposed to scolding from both parents if he had to talk first.

The two people turned their eyes towards Maura who was currently nodding her head.

"Why don't you allow Mommy and Daddy to appeal?" ask Mommy Della the serious fashion that made Maura a little scared of her in-laws. Erland who caught the gelagat from his wife he immediately raised his voice.

"Mom, talking mommy can be normal? Erland's wife was afraid because of Mommy," Erland said as she hugged Maura's body from the side.

Mommy Della grunts annoyed. But he goes back to his usual self-fashion that looks relaxed and bar-bar.

"OK-okay sorry Mommy who scared you earlier Maura. But if Mommy can tell, the reason you're refusing to let us both appeal is because of what?" Mommy Della said by repeating the previous question with a softer tone of voice.

Maura who was asked also he sat his head while answering, "Ma-Sorry before Mom, Dad, Dad, Maura did not want Daddy and Mommy to appeal because Maura felt the 20-year prison sentence was very balanced with the actions of Madam Jaya earlier. Because in this case it is not too severe, Maura who became the victim was not injured in the slightest. Even Madam Jaya was the one who was injured. So Maura please Dad, Mom don't appeal. The decision was really fair."

"No. Where does fair try? You did not hurt Maura but the attempted murder was a heinous act. And only the death law is appropriate for such people" said Daddy Aiden.

"Don't want to know, anyway Daddy will appeal," continued Daddy Aiden and then he intends to leave in front of the three people. But he was about to move his legs, his arms were tightened by someone and when he turned his head, he saw Maura who was blocking his arms with teary eyes.

"Dad, Maura please don't appeal. Maura beg Dad," Maura said in a raucous voice.

Erland who could not bear it he approached Maura and the Daddy, giving a swipe on Maura's back. Then he said, "Dad, please follow Maura's wishes."

Daddy Aiden turned his gaze towards Mommy Della who also did not seem to have the heart to see Maura pleading like this to them, as a result when their eyes met Mommy Della nodded her head, nodding her head, sign he agreed that Daddy Aiden would not appeal.

Daddy Aiden breathed a heavy sigh. He wanted to keep doing it, but he could not bear to see his daughter-in-law until he finally said, "Alright. Daddy's not going to appeal."

At that time also Maura's eyes sparkled, he was grateful when his in-laws wanted to obey what he wanted.

"Thank you Dad, thank you very much" said Maura, who was replied with a nod of his head by Daddy Aiden.

Maura now turned her gaze towards Mommy Della who was smiling at him with a nod of her head.

Maura who saw the nod of the head from Mommy Della was immediately rushed into the arms of Mommy Della and said, "Thank you Mom. Thank you very much."

"Sama-sama. But if by the time he gets out of jail and commits the same crime against you, don't stop Daddy or Mommy from doing anything to get him put to death," said Mommy Della by giving a gentle swab at the top of Maura's head.

While Maura, he nodded his head. Then she took her arms off Mommy Della's body.

"Thank you again Mom, Dad," Maura said, staring at the two parents-in-law in turn.

"Yes-yes baby. I'm just saying thank you. Now we better go home. Today you and Erland have to stay at Mommy and Daddy's house. And we don't accept rejectors at all. But before we go home, we have to eat first. You must be hungry, right, baby?" ask Mommy Della whom she addressed to Maura.

Shamefully Maura nodded her head which automatically made Mommy Della smile.

"What are you waiting for, we go eat now. Daddy will treat us. Let's go we're dinner." Mommy Della clasped Maura's hand, taking her daughter-in-law for a walk together.

As for the men left behind, they compactly shook their heads before both of them stepped foot following the departure of Mommy Della and Maura earlier.
