Upon the arrival of Anang and Tejo at the bus terminal in the city, Anang hurriedly arranged for Tejo's trip, intending to go to one of the downtown shopping centers.
While Anang, must be troubled to bring a suitcase filled with clothes of his, and Tejo's.
Anang could not delay going to court, so, inevitably, he had to take the suitcase with him, and could not go to the inn, even if it was just a short stopover, yet, to throw that thing.
Since the bus, just entering the urban border area, Mr. Handoko has repeatedly contacted Anang's number.
Mr. Handoko may have misjudged Anang's approximate trip, from village to city.
Mr. Handoko sounded like a surprised person when he heard Anang, who said that he was still on the bus, and had not arrived in the city.
The trial has started since.
That day it was time to hear Anang's testimony, and Mr. Handoko had to ask for a recess, because Anang had not arrived there, to give his testimony.
Using a taxi, Anang pursued the time to get to the court office, where Handoko was waiting for him.
When Anang arrived at the court office, Mr. Handoko seemed to be walking back and forth in front of the office, and looked very impatient waiting for the arrival of Anang.
"I'm sorry, sir! But, the bus just arrived," said Anang.
Mr. Handoko, although he looked confused, because he saw Anang carrying a suitcase of clothes, but did not comment much, and only told Anang to come with him.
Anang followed the steps of Handoko sir, while still carrying the suitcase in his hand.
"Just put it there!" said Mr. Handoko, when they were standing at the door of one of the rooms, which was tightly closed, while pointing at the security officer, who was sitting near the door.
Anang put his suitcase, near the security officer, then just ask for help to keep the goods, and Anang thanked him.
Mr. Handoko who walked in first, then followed by Anang from behind him.
In the room, it looks quiet, along with a high table right across the door, marked by the name of the Judge, which is still empty.
Anang simply followed the directions of Mr. Handoko, and some of his friends, who were present at the trial.
Before long, the Judge entered the room, and sat in his place, and the trial resumed.
Anang was then asked to go to the front of the conference room, then sit in the place that had been provided.
Anang was then questioned with many questions, after Anang finished introducing himself, and read the oath under the religious scriptures.
The first to ask him, were colleagues of Mr. Handoko, who looked calm and assertive when asking Anang.
Very many questions for Anang, although sometimes Anang felt as if the questions were thrown like repeated.
But, Anang tried to answer as much as he could, as well as honestly.
Not yet ended there, Anang then scouted a lot of questions from the opponent, who sat opposite the table with a colleague Pak Handoko.
More or less the same, the questions raised, sometimes even more like statements, which seemed to intend to corner Anang, as if endless echoing in Anang's ears.
It was really exhausting, while following such a trial.
If Anang could vote, he would rather hoe the rice fields of Tejo, than testify like that in court.
Despite fatigue, a tired eardrum, as well as a sore throat from repeating the story, Anang still strengthened his determination.
Anang must be able to pass the court, so that he can escape from the law, or whatever it is that complicates his life, and that he should not accept.
Sometimes a question or statement from Miss Jordan, even though the woman was not present, and only her lawyers, could make Anang rise in emotions, and seemed to want to hit those people.
Anang repeatedly let out a long breath that felt heavy, for the sake of controlling his frustration.
Anang to repeatedly drink a little water, because of the sultry with a hint from the label Miss Jordan.
The trial that took hours, but so tired to hold back his anger, Anang did not feel hungry at all.
Though there was recess time for lunch, but Anang did not have any taste to eat, and just waited in the courtroom, although Handoko sir had invited Anang to lunch with him.
Anang was not interested, and simply rejected Handoko's invitation subtly.
Mr. Handoko just nodded his head, then walked away leaving Anang inside.
Anang wants this to all end quickly.
Until the trial resumes, Anang keeps trying to stay upbeat, serving all the questions thrown at him.
Finally, the day's trial was completed, and Anang was allowed to step down from the witness' seat.
"Good!"
"Good!"
So the words of colleagues Pak Handoko who greeted Anang's hand, while occasionally patting Anang's shoulder.
"Sorry, Sir! But, roughly, I still have to attend the trial again?" asked Anang lethargic.
"Hmmm... It seems like it is no longer necessary. Anang just waited for the result...
But, Anang should stay on guard, just in case Anang is still needed, I will contact Anang again later," said Mr. Handoko.
Anang nodded his head.
"Yes, Sir! So I can go home now?" ask Anang.
"Just a second!" said Santi's father, then spoke with his colleagues there, before returning to Anang.
"It looks like it could be!" said Mr. Handoko.
"Good, Sir! Then excuse me! There was a friend of mine who came from the village, who was waiting for me," said Anang.
"Pue! Can Anang talk to me for a while?" said Mr. Handoko, holding back Anang's steps.
Anang remained silent.
If you want to talk about Santi again, Anang is not interested.
"I just want to know the news Anang, how things are being accommodated." continued Mr. Handoko, as if to understand, if Anang was not willing to talk about personal things, related to his son, Santi.
"It could be, sir! But, really for a moment sir! I can't stay long anymore! My friend doesn't understand the city at all, sir!" anang.
"Yes, we just talk, while walking out of this place alone," said Mr. Handoko.
Anang nodded, then walked slowly along with Mr. Handoko, while carrying his suitcase again.
"How's it been all this time? I hope Anang can always be okay" said Mr. Handoko.
"I'm fine, sir! Don't worry," said Anang.
"What are the prospects of plantation business there?" ask Handoko.
"Hmmm... Not sure how. I just started planting seedlings yesterday" said Anang.
"If only hope, of course I want if the effort can go well, and can succeed according to plan," continued Anang.
"Is there a possibility for another attempt there?" ask Handoko.
"Nothing has been thought of by me, sir! I am still focused on the plantation, in the meantime" said Anang.
Mr. Handoko just nodded his head.
"Where is Anang's friend now? Do you want me to take you there?" ask Handoko.
"Thank you very much, sir! But, no need to bother, sir! I ordered a taxi earlier" said Anang.
Mr. Handoko looked disappointed to the point of bowing his head for a moment.
But, Mr. Handoko then raised his face, and smiled at Anang.
"If there is anything, Anang should not hesitate to contact me. Although Anang is not yet my daughter-in-law, but I already consider Anang like my own child," said Mr. Handoko.
