Pursuing the Love of my Maid
20. Court
"There is no defense from them because all the evidence is valid and burdensome. His parents didn't talk much either" Abimana's lawyer said.
"If this means that we can win and he can be sentenced to 3 years?"
"Yes, we can win easily, but he asked for leniency. Should we grant it or ...?" ask the lawyer by hanging up the question.
"I think 3 years is enough. I don't want to be a cruel waste man. After this I want to move into the apartment and sell the house," Abimana said, leaving the lawyer dumbfounded.
"Sells? But why?" ask the lawyer until his mouth is open.
"I don't want to mix those bad memories with my new life. Let all be destroyed over time.it hurts me too much. What's more after this is that I'm getting married and I'm going to be a father" I told Mr. Abimana, who is still in his relationship.
"Dad? How can anyone be a father when he has just divorced and that is without any children between you. There-there you are. Don't go crazy just because you're divorced. The woman was a lot and not just Clarissa" said Herman, a lawyer and relative of Abimana. He nodded in disbelief at what Abimana said.
"I'm serious Bang Herman. I accidentally impregnated Amanda" I'm Abimana who made Herman tickle for a moment.
Herman immediately turned his head and he looked further at the expression on his brother's face. "Seriously you're Abi? Amanda, isn't that Bibik Ninik's son? He who used to like to come to Bibik Ninik every work? And did you say you accidentally impregnated? How can the concept be like that?"
Abimana sighed and stomped her forehead slowly. He looks dizzy with a pile of problems lining up for him to explain one by one. There was a lot of weight on the ground trying to paralyze him.
"I'm serious Brother, I accidentally got drunk after me and Cla had a fight. When I got home, I saw him. In my view, Amanda is Clarissa. Because for a long time Clarissa and I did not have a relationship, so that night was inevitable" Abimana said with regret on her face.
"Clarissa doesn't know about this at all?" ask Herman.
Abimana. "No, he doesn't know at all and I purposely hid all this. Once all this is done, I'll marry her Bang."
Herman shook his head. "No, I know your intention to take responsibility is good. But you better keep in mind she's pregnant. How many months is it?"
"It's been 5 months Bang, I asked him to drop it. At first I didn't want the boy. But, the moment I touched Manda's stomach and my baby moved inside, I burst Bang. I realized it was me and not my baby."
"Just hurry Abi, don't delay any more. Your baby's growing. If I wait until the trial is over, I'm afraid the baby will be born. And, it would be better if after marrying her you just let Manda know. Don't put him in that house or stay with you. You guys better split up and get married just for baby status first."
"Later after the baby is born, if according to Islam you also have to marry again. Uh, did you enter his religion or did he enter your religion?" ask Herman.
"I who entered his religion Brother, in recent years I have also never been to church. Does this include punishment from God?"

"Today he was sitting in court. Hope everything goes well" Amanda said alone, where she was in the nursery.
"Seeing from what he's been doing lately, he seems to want to take responsibility. He seems to mean it. Son, I ask you later do not be a wayward child yes, I feel .. This is just a prefix. So working well with mom huh. So it's a smart kid who doesn't fuss" Amanda said as she rubbed her enlarged belly.
Not long after, the roar of the car engine rang out and Amanda decided to get out. He went down the stairs and at the same time Abhimana entered with Herman. Amanda hadn't seen Herman in a long time, and it was rare for a busy lawyer to come visit a distant cousin.
"Sir, you're home" Amanda said softly.
"Yes, have you eaten?" abi asked back while looking at a glimpse of Amanda who looked nervous and awkward. He sometimes tried to cover his stomach.
"Luck it off, don't cover it up like that. I already know. Abhimana told me everything. Take it easy Amanda, my arrival here is to talk about this," Herman said calmly and shadyly.
Amanda just kept quiet, and without her guessing, Abimana suddenly grabbed her wrist and took her to sit together in the living room. They sit far apart, especially Amanda who is seen to keep her distance and still cover her stomach with a sofa pillow. That innocent girl was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
"How are you, healthy? Baby healthy?" herman asked Amanda and Amanda nodded slowly.
"We haven't checked Brother, tomorrow's the plan" Abimana said.
"Just follow my advice, you guys move out of here, find another apartment and hide there for some to know. Because if Amanda's parents find out about this, then they'll bring it up and make it a case and sue you. Therefore, try until this hearing is completed at least until the divorce verdict is legal," said Herman gave advice.
"Yes, I've also talked about it with him brother, just he hasn't said anything somehow he wants" Abimana said.
"I just follow how good it is, I'm not experienced about such affairs," said Amanda who resignedly followed Herman's proposal.
"From now on, you don't think anything. I seriously want to take responsibility. After marriage you won't stay here until my divorce proceedings are over" said Abimana, who gave Amanda a gawk.
"After marriage you want to throw me away?" ask Amanda innocently.
"No, I'll meet all your needs. I will put you in another house. I'll also see your mother to tell you this but later after we're legally married." Abimana makes a promise.
"really? But I'm afraid if anything happens to Mom. Tell you what, we kept this marriage a secret and everything, until this child was born." Amanda expressed her idea.
Herman and Abimana looked at each other. Today is only the first trial and there are many more seasons that Abiman must pass. Amanda wanted such conditions. Wasn't that auspicious for Abimana?
