Adjudging


April walks with both hands in handcuffs, Grandma Ima and Aunt Asri watch the Eagle's wife. April smiles towards Karisma, by passing by Grandma Ima and Asri.


"Sir, we want to talk to him" said Aunt Asri.


"Tante, then again, after the trial." whispered Karisma.


"Why? let him know who we are." said Aunt Asri.


"Tante, April can't be long standing. He has to sit down, and then he'll be starting soon." said Eagle.


"You guys don't get in the way, please give us some time" said Aunt Asri.


"Sir, ask for help." said April.


"Please." said the prison officer.


"Meet me, my Auntie is your husband's Eagle, and this is his Grandma" said Aunt Asri haughtily.


"Tante, Grandma" said April trying to shake hands, but both refused.


"Sorry." said April, looking down.


"I ask you to divorce my granddaughter" said Grandma.


"Mother." said the Eagle.


"Our family, rejecting a daughter-in-law like you."


"Grandmother." said the Eagle back.


"Without asking, I asked from the beginning. Because I'm not imposing, for Grandma's granddaughter to stick with me. And I realized, I was just a bad man, full of sin. It's not appropriate, people like me are in the middle - the middle of the people. I'm sorry that I messed with Grandma's family." said April.


"Sir, take it inside" said the Eagle.


"Wait for you sir, I just asked. Titip my son, if you don't want to take care. Put it in the parlor, don't throw it on the side of the road. The child I bear is not sinful. He deserves to be happy, you probably won't accept my son, and I'm self-aware. Bang, I am indeed inappropriate for Brother, maybe we are paired up here. Nature will not unite us, because other than us as the sky and the Earth, I am a person who has been tarnished, and will forever be a sinner" he said.


"It's a good thing you're self-aware, I want to have a daughter-in-law like you. You're a criminal, a disgrace." said Grandma Ima.


"Pak bring him." said the Eagle, then April continued her steps into the courtroom.


"Better, you go home" said the Eagle to Grandma and Aunt Asri.


"You Eagle, dare to drive us away" said Aunt Asri, staring at the Eagle inside.


"Grandma's the same Aunt, why talk like that? april's mood was sad, you guys added talking like that. He didn't want to do something like this, he did it for his sick sister. Because in April's mind it was dead end, still school she had to work to eat both. His life was hard, unlike the Eagle and I, had anything. He had just found a family, when he married the Eagle. A man who sincerely loves April, even an Eagle is comfortable with April. Even you talk like that, hurt him." said Karisma , then went into the courtroom.


"Child today, said even difficult" said Grandma Ima.


"Wouldn't you come in?" ask Aunt Asri.


"You want to know what the verdict is" replied Grandma Ima.


****


April looked flushed in the face, even her two eyes looked puffy. Every now and then April wiped both her eyes with a tissue, The Eagle who sat far away from April, directly advanced forward walking towards his wife.


The eagle immediately hugged April from behind, April sobbing even more. Feeling the embrace of her husband.


"I'm sorry Grandma is aunty." whispered the Eagle.


"Yes Bang, it's okay. It's true what Grandma said to Auntie. Forgive me Bang." said April sobbing.


"Ssttt do not continue to apologize, you just pray, so that the verdict can not be given a life sentence, or die" said Elang.


"Please stand up, the judge will enter the courtroom" said one woman, who read out the order.


Seen Juna and Steven, who just lowered their heads, while April's hands trembled, and asked for a drink. When drinking is seen, the water in the drink spills a little. The eagle will stand up but Karisma asks to remain seated.


"I'm worried about April" said Elang.


"Quiet, April must be strong" said Karisma.


"Asri, do you see? how my granddaughter is." said Grandma Ima, who sat in the back not far from Charisma and Eagle.


"Yes Mother, the Eagle seems so loving" said Aunt Asri.


"If it's not Napi, I'm blessed. This is, Napi heavyweight. Then what do you want to say, like the other brothers."


"That's it, ma'am, don't think about it. He will not be united with the Eagle, it must be an old verdict."


"Grandmother also pity her look, but what other brothers say. It's a disgrace, and you know, our stocks are dropping dramatically. That's the effect, some even cancel the project" said Grandma Ima.


"Already Mom, don't think much about it, our lawyer is taking care of everything, even Malik is trying to defuse this news, and restore our stock position so as not to go down again, and go up like that. And one, explain everything to investors, I don't think about it."


"Mom trusts you, lest you get sick, because of the problem of one's grandchild."

"Brother Juna, after reading from the case that occurred, and the testimony of several witnesses. With this, District Court W ruled that the sentence on you is a death sentence" said the judge, tapping his hammer.


Tok..


Juna sat down limply, while covering his face with both palms. Juna cried, even the Juna family cried hearing the Judge's decision.


Juna raised his head, and opened the two palms that covered his face.


Juna fell silent, regretting all his deeds, which had put the country, and his family, to shame.


After Juna, Steven was now sitting in front of the Judge, with a chaotic feeling, and the heartbeat was so fast.


"Brother Steven Julius, after reading the case, and the testimony of several witnesses. District Court W, decided to give a sentence of life." said the Judge, then knocked the hammer.


Tok..


Steven could only bow his head, and regret all the deeds, which he had done.


After Steven, April sat in front of the Judge, who would hear what punishment he received.


" Brother April, after reading the case that has been made, and the explanation of some witness testimony. District Court W ruled that he was sentenced to 20 years in prison" said the judge, tapping his hammer.


Tok..


April cried, upon hearing the Judge's decision. The eagle immediately ran forward, hugging April.


"Abang is still waiting for you" said the Eagle, with the intention of strengthening his wife.


Hiks. hiks..


"Twenty years Bang." said April.


"Yes, twenty years."
