My Beautiful Lawyer
49
In Brian's office.
"WHO COMPOSED ALL THESE MESSAGES?!!!!"
Brian shouted at all his subordinates. No one dared to answer. His eyes were red, round as if he was about to get out of place.
"I ASKED WHO COMPILED ALL THESE MESSAGES?!!!"
His voice grew louder plus a punch on the table that was enough to scare the people in his office.
The newly arrived Vino was astonished by the sight he had just seen. Everyone was like a statue staring at Brian who was being burned with anger.
"What's wrong?" ask Vino relax.
"The King sent a letter to reopen the Dudung case and is being handled by Hasna Maulida Fadilah" Brian replied with a face that was red with annoyance.
Vino was speechless because of Hasna. But he felt Hasna was not handling the case.
"I don't think he's handling the Dudung case" Vino replied but hesitated.
"This message has been two weeks, they must be almost done" said Brian grew angry with a gasp of breath.
He grabbed his phone and asked someone to find out.
"FIND OUT WHERE THEY'VE GOTTEN!" scream Brian.
Exasperated, Brian threw all the files on his desk. The secretary and his assistant hurriedly tidied up his desk.
Meanwhile Vino averted his gaze and tried to think clearly. He tried to convince himself that Hasna could not betray him.

Hasna stood looking at Beni who was also staring at her near the entrance of Dara's ward.
"What are you trying to do for Dara?" asked Beni in a soft voice.
"I'm not sure if I should tell you or not" Hasna replied with a relaxed face.
"Don't bring my sister into your feud with Bima Sebastian" Beno said.
Hasna grinned.
"I'm pissed off everyone like you smile like that. It's like we're fools who are easily deceived" Beno said.
"Hahahaha" Hasna laughed.
Beno rounded his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I feel a little funny with your words" Hasna said with a smile.
Beno gritted his teeth.
"You said don't bring Dara into my feud with Bima, but you did all this cheating for Dara because of the man you helped her with her crime" hasna said while playing the file she was carrying.
"What do you mean? I don't understand!" Beno started raising his tone.
"Didn't Dara ever tell you why she's been here all this time?" Hasna asked.
"Madam, the lawyer I respect, just tell me the answer to the question I asked" Beno said.
Hasna sighed hard and took a deep breath.
"Dara was one of the survivors of the bodies of women found in several places and had the same wound: the initials of the victim on their thighs or later. The case that you and Fajri handled and referred to the Dudung perp" Hasna explained.
Beno's angry and upset face turned drastically sad and his eyes watery.
"And you know what really happened" Hasna continued.
Hasna's eyes looked at Beno's clenched hands. His eyes were then filled with tears. And the veins of his neck that appeared because of an unexpressed anger.
"You want to get angry? Meet him and punch him in the face?" Hasna guessed while looking at him.
"Yes, before you can do that, you will die from the blows of the guards. There were about 10 people with sturdy bodies in the house, I know because I just moved there a few days ago" explained Hasna relaxed.
Beno closed his eyes for a moment feeling the resentment in his heart.
"Huuhhffffff, right, very ironic. You are helping the person who made your sister almost crazy" Hasna said with a slight shake of her head.

Vino gets a report that Dudung got a visit from a lawyer. He rushed to the prison to make sure of that.
Arriving at the prison, Vino waits for Dudung in the visiting room. A guard was seen reporting something through his HT. Vino stood up and approached him.
"Who are you reporting to?" ask Vino.
The guard was shocked and nervous.
"I...!"
"Who? I'm just asking who?" Vino was curious.
"At ..." The guard was still stammering.
"Tell him face me face to face, I'll wait for him right now" said Vino defiantly because he felt he did not get an answer.
"Well Sir!" the guard replied in a soft voice.
The veil had already come, Vino sat down after he sat down. Vino looked at him sharply.
"I heard a lawyer come to visit you. Wh who? and what was the purpose of coming here?" ask Vino.
"He came with a message from the hospital where my wife was being treated. My wife says that I am not that cruel human being" Dudung replied in tears.
Vino was astonished to see Dudung's reaction so different from the first moment he confessed all his deeds.
"My wife is dying, hearing that I'm the bad guy who killed those women and injured Nabila, no one else is waiting for her in the hospital. No one wants to take care of her even if I offer a big reward" Dudung's cries broke.
Vino was still silent, at first he was just curious about the lawyer who came to see Dudung. However he was very surprised by Dudung's reaction with only one question from him.
Vino was so confused to have to continue his question again or not. But Dudung kept talking and made Vino even more silent.
"I have to how? I guess by doing what you say, my wife will recover and be discharged from the hospital"
Vino sighed loudly, his body limp at the words of Dudung. Clearly, the master he was referring to was his father.
"You're protecting my father? So is it true that he was the culprit?" Vino just realized it.
The hood fell silent, his eyes implying a more real sense of nervousness. He could not say this directly to Vino, the son of Bima Sebastian. As Hasna said, Dudung must follow all his directions.
A staring guard noticed them, then entered and asked Dudung to return to the holding room.
"When the visit is over, sir, the prisoner must return to the detention room" the guard said.
Vino did not take his eyes off the hood that was brought inside.
But, even though he did not get a direct answer from Dudung, he already understood everything. Now he understood why Hasna was so eager to investigate the case.
Vino returns to Brian's law office, forcing his foot to keep going because Brian asks him to come back and see him.
Brian was already in his room, staring at the file with an occasional smile and seemed satisfied with the contents.
"What's wrong?" vino asked directly because Brian was unaware of his arrival.
Brian looked up and smiled at him.
"The casino! Come here, sit by me and read all this" Brian asked.
Vino complies and opens the file then seriously reads it. His eyes closed for a moment, not believing what he was reading.
