Maryam was pensive in her room, she slept sideways with an empty look straight ahead, until a touch on her shoulder made Maryam flinch, immediately rise up and inching backward with a frightened look
"It's brother, dear.." The voice instantly made her calm again even though she was seen holding her breath.
Faraz felt a great pain in his heart seeing the recitation of Maryam just because he touched his shoulder. Maryam's terrified gaze made Faraz want to curse this whole world.
Slowly Faraz sat down beside Maryam and she revealed her faint smile.
"Brother buy a new phone for you, already your brother managed to use your old number" exclaimed Faraz handing over the cell phone box to Maryam.
"Thank you, sister" said Maryam forcing her lips to smile.
"Now come down, dinner's ready"
"Maryam is hungry"
"But you'll get sick if you don't eat, Dek. Kasian Ummi and Abi are worried later"
If it is about Abi and her Ummi, of course Maryam cannot refuse. He soon came down with Faraz.
Maryam smiled faintly to see her whole family sitting on the floor with a dinner menu that was ready, even Amar and Granny Amy were there.
"Here, Ma'am..." Firda pulled Maryam sitting on her left side while Amar sat on her right side.
And unexpectedly, Amar took the rice and put it on Maryam's plate, then he added the side dishes and vegetables so complete. It became the center of attention there even made Maryam stunned but Amar seemed to not care.
"Come, eat" cried Amar as he pushed Maryam's plate closer.
"Ehem..." Rafa cleared his throat even though he didn't itch.
"It's your drink" Amar handed Rafa a glass of water, not to Maryam.
"Innalillahi, the child of today." murmured Kiai Khalil.
"The world belongs to two, the other to contract" continued Yasmin who made everyone laugh. Even Maryam laughed, and it made them feel good.
And Faraz who saw it was also happy, Faraz knew Amar loved his sister very much, Amar also showed his responsibility to Maryam, even less than 24 hours, Amar could easily find the perpetrator of the crime on his sister.
But after all, Faraz did not want his sister to marry Amar, where danger could come at any time to Maryam if she was on his side.
Dinner was full of laughter, the existence of Firda who continued to chatter is certainly very entertaining for them and for a moment forget the problems that exist. Maryam even occasionally laughs, although sometimes she returns to daydreaming.
Amar who saw it really could not bear, what more bruise on Maryam's face is still quite severe. But he could not do anything, and just hope this problem is soon finished and Maryam returned to being the old Maryam.

After leaving Maryam's house, Amar told the driver to drive her grandmother home, while Amar himself went to the hospital.
There, he immediately rushed to a room guarded by two large men.
"How are things?" amar asked the two men.
"Better, Sir. The doctor said there were no serious injuries" one of the men replied as he opened the door.
"You have to testify against Dilara at the trial later" Amar told Erick, who was lying with multiple wounds on his body.
"I know, I'll do it. But please let go of my family" Erick replied.
"I won't hurt them" Amar said.
"Where's the video?" erick asked again while looking intently at Amar.
"Why? Didn't you record your evil act to show me? So that I feel helpless. Now look at you, here's what his name is helpless"
Erick could only be speechless at Amar's words, as it was true that he was helpless. Amar immediately left Erick's room.
While inside, Erick was right to regret his actions, just because of anger, his life and his family life were getting messy.
At that time, Erick was about to delete the evil video but he was very surprised because the video could not be opened on his phone, he also checked the video copy on his laptop and also could not be opened.
Erick had guessed it must have been Amar.
At that time, Erick was about to meet Amar and would surrender himself from Amar to free his family. But on the way, a truck hit him on purpose which of course was Sanjaya's man, but two hired Amar who was told to watch over Erick immediately saved Erick.
Erick himself did not expect his life to be almost lost and it might also be a punishment for being so evil to a very good person.

Next trial...
Dilara and her father hope to be anxious about the trial, they believe Erick will not be able to come to testify, and now Dilara is waiting for his release.
The entire family of Maryam came to greet Maryam and to support Maryam.
And when the trial was opened, Gaby immediately brought Erick as a witness as well as the perpetrator of the crime on Maryam.
Dilara and Sanjaya are shocked to discover that Erick is doing well even with some injuries on his body.
Maryam who saw Erick immediately became frightened considering how the foreign man mistreated her. But all her family convinced Maryam that no one would hurt Mary there.
Rafa and Faraz who saw Erick became very furious, if not in the courtroom, both of them would have killed Erick at this time.
Gaby as Maryam's lawyer begins to ask if Erick is related to Maryam or knows Maryam.
"I don't know him at all" Erick replied firmly.
"No" Erick replied as he looked at Dilara who was also staring anxiously at Erick "I'm not paid, but if I do that, Dilara promised to help me get my company"
Dilara could only growl furiously with Erick's confession.
"Who planned all this?"
"Sanjaya Dilara"
"What did he tell you?"
Erick glanced at Maryam at a glance and Maryam looked very frightened and even shed her tears.
"To kidnap Maryam, inject her with the drugs she gave me, take her to the hotel and tell me to harass her, because Dilara hates Maryam so much that she snatched Amar from her"
Asthma herself shed her tears upon hearing Erick's confession, who is Dilara and who is Erick?
Both of them were strangers to them but they were already very mean to Maryam.
While Bilal, Faraz, Rafa and of course Amar look very angry and other families are also very sad. Though they have lived a good life and tried to do good to others but it turns out there are still people who are very bad to them.
"You did it?"
"Yes" Erick replied in a low voice "But I swear I didn't rape her"
"We know the visa results suggest the same thing, but what you're doing includes harassment"
"There's no evidence that Dilara planned any of this"
Now it's Dilara's lawyer's turn to say, "It's possible this man gave false testimony to my client"
"I have proof of that" Gaby replied, then gave the judge some photos of the woman who looked like Dilara meeting Erick in a children's park. And it looks like Dilara did give Erick something.
Even Maryam also testified that Dilara was in the room and had a conversation with Erick.
Then Dilara gives a file containing videos of violence against Maryam to the judge and in the video it is very clear that Erick told Erick to fuck Maryam.
And from the video, Erick and Dilara were charged with multiple charges, kidnapping, violence, harassment and also defamation.
Maryam and her family were at great disadvantage in this regard.
After an argument between Maryam's lawyer and Gaby's lawyer, the judge ruled that Dilara and Erick were guilty.
What's more, Maryam's lawyer has evidence and witnesses that are very strong and certainly can not be denied by Dilara's lawyer.
.
.
.
All of Maryam's family breathed a sigh of relief and were very grateful that it was over.
Outside the courtroom, Maryam and her family are grateful to Gaby for helping.
And at that time, Erick who was brought by the police begged that he could talk to Maryam and her family just to apologize.
The police also granted and brought to Maryam's family who were still there.
Seeing Erick approaching, Maryam's reflexes retreated to the back of Amar's body as if taking refuge because Amar was standing next to her. Even accidentally, Maryam squeezes Amar's arm to hold back her fear. Amar growled furiously at the sight of the brave Erick appearing in front of them.
"I just want to apologize" Erick stared guiltily at Maryam's family.
"I'm sorry, huh?" faraz shouted furiously and he could no longer contain his anger. Faraz immediately gave his raw bogem on the face of Erick who was actually injured by the accident and hit Amar at that time.
Bilal tries to block his son but Faraz looks very ambitious to beat Erick who is very helpless what else with his handcuffed hands.
Faraz beats Erick blindly and everyone tries to prevent Faraz from killing Erick.
"Stop, Faraz!" shouts Asma but Faraz is deaf. Rafa and Amar are happy to see Faraz beating Erick.
Until one policeman managed to pull Faraz from Erick who was helpless but unexpectedly, Faraz instead took the police's gun and directly pointed it right in Erick's head. All the police immediately pointed their guns at Faraz and ordered Faraz to drop his weapons.
While Erick was just silent, enduring the pain all over his body that continued to be beaten.
"I have a sister, she'll kill you if you touch me"
Once again, Maryam's warning at the time came true.
"Faraz, Son. Put that down, honey. Ummi. Don't be like this" asked Asma while crying, only the first time he saw Faraz in the control of anger like this and it looked very terrible.
"Faraz, it's over. She's already getting her punishment" her Abi coaxed. But Faraz was still holding the gun and he looked at Erick with red eyes.
Faraz could not forget what he had seen, Faraz as if he continued to hear his brother yelling and begging not to be hurt by this foreign man.
Faraz's eyes glazed with glass in light of his sister's suffering.
Until Faraz felt a touch on her arm, without saying anything, Maryam lowered her arm slowly, then Maryam hugged her sister, leaning her head against her chest.
And it made Faraz instantly shed his tears, he released the gun in his hand and hugged Maryam very tightly.
"He's already hurt sister brother, let brother kill her" said Faraz but Maryam shook her head and still hugged Faraz.
"The crime should not be avenged" whispered Maryam "Let the law avenge her" he continued.
Because of the incident, Faraz was arrested by the police for making a scene, attacking prisoners and seizing police weapons, but Bilal immediately gave bail and released Faraz.
