...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️...

Two weeks have passed...

Yasmine's condition is now starting to improve, physically and psychologically. The 25-year-old girl was packing her belongings, assisted by Ambar.

Both hands are still weak, folding sheets of towels and clothes to then put in the bag.

"Would you have stayed in our house first, your situation has not improved completely" Ambar persuaded, he tried to block the girl's intention to return to her contract.

Yasmine shook her head softly while making a thin smile. "It's okay mom. I'll take good care of myself."

"But you have to attend the hearing, the distance is also quite far from your contract. Shouldn't you stay at our house, until Nisha's trial is over?"

"No.., I can take a taxi" replied the girl flat, her bland smile still stuck at the tip of her lips.

The final trial will begin next week. Nisha as the perpetrator, and Yasmine as the victim. How the fate of Nisha in the future, will depend on Yasmine's statement later.

Honestly, Yasmine's heart crumpled when she found out the fact that Nisha was the one who made her fetus disappear. The accident was due to Nisha's carelessness. But whether forgiving or understanding, Yasmine until now is still reluctant to tell what she really feels. Instead of filing a lawsuit, he wants to forgive. But honestly, his mind did not accept. He himself was still very confused, should he sign the suit, or revoke the report against Nisha.

.

.

Two hours away by taxi, Yasmine finally got hired. He dropped all his belongings from the trunk, entered the rented fence.

As usual, the owner of the contract immediately walked with the face of his keponya. Don't forget the thick mustache he whirled, I don't know what his purpose was.

"Yasmine..? So much of your stuff? Is your work in the city quarter done?" asked the man named Basir, revealing his face from behind the fence.

Yasmine who was about to open the rented door looked lazy, but a thin smile still he offered.

"Yes sir, now I'm going to stay here again." he squinted, to be friendly.

"oooh, great. Sweetheart also hired you long in staying. Yes, I've had a break..." The thick-bodied man passed while being bearded.

Yasmine's eyeballs took aim following Mr. Basir's footsteps. When the thick man's back was no longer visible, he let out a long sigh.

"The poster doesn't spread anywhere." he muttered as he tried to insert a slightly dragging key.

When the rented door opened, Yasmine inhaled in a difficult scent that had not been willing to leave. The cramped and humid atmosphere reminded him of the time when he was still working first.

His eyes grew softer, when he remembered that he no longer had a job. His future is bleak, and twisted.

Actually as a form of apology, Agam had already offered Yasmine some money to survive. But the girl refused. He will no longer want to deal with the Agam family.

Even as Ambar offered the baby tube program again, he refused firmly. His life had been too bitter all along. He does not want to drag one innocent life, to be born into this chaotic world. Enough of him suffering.

📞 "Yasmine..?! You're where? Why go without saying goodbye to me? Am I not important to you anymore? Didn't you promise to never leave me?! Where are you now..?!"

The heavy and fast voice, plus a very different accent of speech, made Yasmine look back at the screen of her phone, to make sure if it was really Lukka.

"Lukka..? Are you that?" Yasmine was flirted with folded eyebrows. For almost two weeks he focused on psychology to fix the mental. It was quite short, but why did Lukka sound like a different person.

📞 "You don't want to say your location? I'll track you, just so you know I can ride a motorcycle!" showing off Lukka from across there, he sounded really upset.

Yasmine chuckled softly hearing that. "Why do you sound disrespectful? You don't call me brother anymore? And why do you call yourself by the word I? Where's Lukka who's like a big baby?"

📞 "So you've been thinking of me like a baby all this time? Why don't you accept me calling you that? Didn't you say you were smaller than me?" lukka's protest sounded straightforward, but there were still big baby words and tones still attached.

And that made Yasmine chuckle again. Apparently nothing has changed so quickly.

"All right. I close the phone first, I want to fix it." Yasmine explained.

📞 "You really didn't tell..."

"Daddy..." Yasmine immediately hung up the phone, even before Lukka finished her sentence. Not only that, he even pulled out his card then he threw it somewhere.

Yasmine does not want to mess with the future of Lukka, who is now starting to feel adult life. Especially when remembering Lukka's invitation to get married. He was afraid it wasn't just nonsense. How can a person who is just starting a real life, side by side with a person whose life is already very dirty and messy like himself.

...~...

In the courtroom, Agam was already seen sitting in the front row. Several journalists also attended the hearing. CCTV footage of Yasmine being hit made headlines two weeks ago. That's why many people are curious about the end result. Not even a few who ask Nisha in the law fairly.

On the other seat, there were both Nisha's parents. They waited for the judge to enter the room. While Nisha can only be bowed, her lawyer is giving directions next door.

Yasmine arrived there, with awkward steps and a stiff face she walked towards the chair that the court officer had provided.

Nisha and Yasmine meet. Nisha was about to move her lips to smile, but she did so when she saw Yasmine's flat expression.

Shortly thereafter, the judge entered the room. Without wasting much time they immediately started the trial.

"Sister Yasmine Auzora, was there really no offensive talk before the incident happened?" ask the Chief judge.

"No, your highness." Yasmine replied without hesitation.

In the back there looks Agam breathing heavily. He knew it was hard for Yasmine. But he desperately wants Yasmine to be heartened, so that Nisha can be released.

"My man claims that your relationship is close enough that there is not the slightest intention of harming the sister. Is that really so?" the Judge again.

"Yes, your honor."

"Then does Yasmine's sister believe that what happened was due to accident, not to attempted murder?"

"No."

That answer made the entire room stunned, especially Agam and Nisha who immediately held their breath. Their eyes were sharp and pale.
