The Will of Martha - Harris

After the mourners were no longer too crowded, Samuel, Maya and also the five family members of Harris, were, they were seen sitting on a long sofa waiting for the lawyer to say what would be the will or the final message of the deceased.

Maya sat down with Samuel, with one of her hands curled into Samuel's arm and hooked the five fingers into Samuel's fingers.

While the others just sit together without a word coming out of their mouths, even though it is just a stale base.

"Well, I'll start reading the last will of my client, doctor Harris Pratama and also the mistress Martha Anindia Baskoro Pratama" said the lawyer with a very serious facial expression.

Not inferior to the lawyer, some people who sit in a large sofa was now taking the same serious attitude, including Maya and Samuel.

The lawyer then opened a brown map that was still sealed.

"Hum...!!" the lawyer cleared his throat for a moment and paused his sentence for a moment. Then the lawyer prepared to read the text that was still sealed earlier.

"We, signed below, on behalf of Harris Pratama and also my wife Martha Anindia Baskoro Pratama, would like to present a will to our friend whom we consider to be our family, i.e., Maya's sister Aulia Perdana and her husband Samuel Perdana became the foster parents of our son Samudra Baskoro Pratama. We entrust our son to both of them and we hope no one gets in his way-"

The lawyer paused his words again, now his gaze rotated to everyone sitting before him. Behind his clear glasses, the lawyer observed one by one the family from Harris who were whispering to each other. Stare in surprise at Maya and Samuel. To cause a little bit of a commotion.

While Maya and Samuel stare at each other, the twinkle of happiness is clearly visible inside Maya's black eye bead.

"Please calm down first, I will read the next will" continued the lawyer with an unequivocal attitude.

"We bequeath savings and deposits of three billion rupiah to our son Samudra Baskoro Pratama which can be disbursed if he is seventeen years old. For houses, villas and also some land area of a hundred hectares in Bogor, we were bequeathed to Samudra, our son."

Back the lawyer paused his sentence when noises and noisy whispers were heard from the Harris family.

"Lawyer, is the contents of our sister Harris's will really genuine from her?" ask one of the Harris family members.

"Sorry madam, this will was written by my client, doctor Harris Pratama and with the knowledge of Martha's mistress, his wife."

"We are only afraid that the will is sabotaged by someone else" said another Harris family member.

"This will is original handwritten and when signed by the two deceased witnessed directly by the notary." The lawyer replied firmly and also a very serious expression.

"Can I continue?" ask the lawyer again. All those present at that moment could only nod without being able to refute.

"My wife and I also bequeathed our child's education costs of two billion rupiahs and all I ask the Maya and Samuel brothers who manage their finances. And for the aunt, we prepared a hundred million rupiah because the aunt faithfully served our family for many years. We also hope that the aunt can follow the relatives of Samuel and Maya to take care of our son, Samudra.

Thus our will. This will we make in a conscious state and without any coercion from any party." Said the lawyer who resumed reading from Harris and Martha's will, then put the paper back on the solidly carved wooden table.

The aunt who also heard the reading of the will from her two masters was shocked when she heard her name mentioned in the will.

"So my client's will, and I hope it will be accepted by all parties. I reiterate again, there is no fraud or error in the documents of this letter. Because my own client made it with his own handwriting. If you want to see please." The neat-looking lawyer then handed out several wills to the Harris family, because the ones who looked dissatisfied with Harris' will were them.

Instead they read it carefully, and it is true that it is Harris's handwriting, his signature was Harris's signature.

"Sorry lawyer, if I may know, when did they make this will?" asked Samuel astonished.

"Mr Harris and Ms. Martha came to my office about two months ago. And he both decided to make the will" replied Andi's lawyer.

"I didn't expect either, maybe they could already feel the tragedy they would experience" he continued.

Maya still does not believe in the will of Martha and Harris. All he cared about was the decision of the deceased to entrust custody of the Ocean to himself and Samuel. For Maya nothing can replace that joy with anything.

"Honey, I'm glad that Ocean custody is on us" Maya said with teary eyes.

"Yes, dear and hopefully no one else will protest the will of Martha and Harris."

"Hm." Maya nodded happily.

"Yes we are ready, sir, lawyer. We will take good care of the Baskoro Pratama Ocean like our own son." Samuel was firm and powerful. Maya nods to confirm Samuel, her husband.

"Alright then, I assume all those here agree and accept the will of the deceased."

"But the lawyer, why don't we Harris family get nothing for our brother's property? why did even that old maid get some of our brother's treasure?" ask a graceful woman with fancy clothes and jewelry. The expression that the woman showed was also very arrogant.

"I'm sorry I don't know that either. It's a will decision, Mr. Harris, and I can't answer your words. Now I'm sorry. For Mr. Samuel and Mrs Maya, I'm waiting for you in my office tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning and for aunt-" the lawyer paused for a moment and looked at the aunt who had also heard the reading of his employer's will.

"I'm also waiting for you tomorrow at my office at nine in the morning, I'll prepare the money Mr. Harris gave you" Harris said.

"B-good sir.." replied the aunt without being able to say more.

The masculine-looking lawyer is now standing up after tidying up the documents and putting them in his briefcase.

"I'll excuse you."

Sam welcomed the lawyer's handshake and walked to the lawyer's main door to the mansion owned by the late Harris.

"Thank you, Andi's lawyer." Samuel shook the lawyer's hand tightly before the man in his suit and tie left the mansion.

Andi's lawyer welcomed Samuel's handshake and stepped out of the main door.

There was relief in Samuel's eyes with Martha and Harris' decision on Ocean custody.

Sam promised to take care of the child as well as possible and to think of him as his own son.

"Dear."

"Hm?"

Samuel turned his head towards Maya who was now walking over to him, welcoming the girl with a wide arc of smiles.

"I'm going to the hospital now. I want to see things, Am."

"Yes, we're going to the hospital now." Sam nodded while kissing Maya's forehead.

Just a few steps away from the two, the aunt suddenly called out.

"Miss Maya...!"

Spontaneous steps Maya and Samuel stopped and turned toward the aunt.

"Yes bik?"

"Bibik can follow non Maya and Aden Sam to visit the young master of Samudra?" pinta bibik's.

Maya smiles for a moment, "May dong bik, have we left now?" asked Maya while glancing at her husband. Naming Samuel's head responded, and the three now walked away from Harris's house.

"House is okay left bik?"

"For a moment now, the aunt had asked permission from both Diman and Iyem to replace the aunt guard the house."

"Oh-good for that," Maya replied with a beard.
