The Desired Angel of Heaven

Chapter 2
Hanif clenched his hands in a huff. He was angry to hear a lawsuit against his brother that did not match the facts on the ground. He kicked down the table, making all eyes point at them.
“Dek...” Hani stroked Hanif's shoulder gently while shaking his head. “Hold your emotions..”.
Hanif tried to contain his anger at hearing all the slanders Bernhart Sujiwo had read in front of the noble judges.
“... thus the contents of our client's lawsuit Mr. Aditama Prayoga against the defendant. I on behalf of the attorney of law convey in a conscious state without any coercion from anyone.” said Bernhart immediately sat back to his place.
Hendro back on his feet, “Please from the defendant mistress Hanifah Az Zahra given the opportunity to file an answer to the lawsuit that has been submitted.”
The court room was silent for a moment, Hani bowed sadly, her eyes peeking at the tile floor where her fate and her three children were now at stake. He had no place to complain about all the pain that now afflicted him, only Hanif and his three children who became his strength at this time.
Hanif immediately stood up after being given the opportunity to answer a lawsuit aimed at her brother. “Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarkatuh. Thank you for the time that has been given to me Hanif az Zaidan, representing the defendant, my sister named Hanifah az Zahra.” Hanif looked at Hani who seemed tense in her seat.
Faiq was flabbergasted after learning that the woman who had shifted her world for a moment was the widow of ayu whom Hendro had said. His eyes did not blink looking at Hani who continued to look at Hanif who spoke loudly.
“... we from the defendant strongly object to what is alleged. Because the sister of Hanifa az Zahra has no disability or disease with the result of not being able to carry out her duties as a wife. The two defendants have never committed adultery, her busy life as a housewife and taking care of her three children has drained her time, because it is an accusation that is too far-fetched and not in accordance with the facts. If the plaintiff objected to mentioning that the third daughter, Ananda Hasya Berliana, is not her flesh and blood, we are ready to do a DNA test.”, Hanif said.
Hani's tears without feeling trickled back into the river. And it did not escape Faiq's sight. It felt like he ran over and wiped away the tears that fell from the beautiful eyes that he had unknowingly stolen his heart.
Hani looked down, the wound he was trying to treat slowly, now bleeding again. The shadow of the tiny Hasya who was only 6 months old, without ever feeling the caress of affection from a father who until now did not acknowledge his existence. A flash of Adi's face that told her to abort the contents again disturbed her nerves.
“The trial was postponed 20 minutes, before the replicative reading of the plaintiff.” Hendro broke the silence after Hanif submitted a stalked answer (exception) to the defendant's objection.
Faiq along with his comrades rushed to leave the courtroom. He paused for a moment while holding out a handkerchief to Hani who was still glued with tears streaming down his thin cheeks.
“Take it..” he put into Hani's hands, because there was no welcome for his spontaneous action, then walked away from both.
Hanif and Hani are shocked at Faiq's treatment of walking away, leaving them to follow the others. Hesti felt arrogant to see Faiq's actions. He stomped his feet while looking cynically at Hani who ignored the group's existence. While Hendro and Darwin throw each other meaningful smiles.
“Mbak, how do you feel?” Hanif spoke quietly so as not to hear Johan and Bernhart cs.
“I must be strong for the sake of children.” Hani removes the remains of the tears using a handkerchief that Faiq gave in his hand.
“I will reveal the truth.” Hanif said enthusiastically.
“It won't change things. Mas Adi will still divorce me, let alone Helen's mother is pregnant with her child.” Ogre Hani bitterly while sighing heavily. His voice sounded raucous because he was crying too much.
“They have manipulated reality, and turned back the facts. He who cheated instead accused mbak, the base of the attached grandmother and sorcerer.” maki Hanif growled.
Footsteps were heard approaching towards Hani and Hanif. Johan stood beside Hani. “How are you, mistress?” he greeted politely.
“What are you here for? What do you want to insult us?” hanif is not happy.
Hani clasping Hanif's hand, “Already, deck.” He returned Johan's greeting calmly, trying to cover up his heartbreak. “We are fine, mr.”
“I'm sorry, Mistress. I tried to remind Mr. Adi of his mistakes. She had blinded Madam Linda and Miss Helen, thus forgetting her responsibility towards her own family.” Johan's murmur was barely audible. Because he knew for himself how Linda and Helen had planned everything from the beginning. Adi is too busy with work so never take the time for Hani and his son.
“Already mr Johan. Maybe our marriage is no longer tenable. I can not fight alone, if in fact mas Adi did not love me.” lirih Hani bitterly trying to hold back his tears who again want to plunge free.
“I understand.” sela Hani fast. He does not want to get back stuck with his unrequited feelings, because the fact is that Linda prefers Helen who was Adi's former fiancee during college to be his daughter-in-law. “We're just ordinary people, Mr. Johan. It is impossible to be juxtaposed with the Adi family..”.
“I hope one day Mr. Adi realizes his mistake, and is not blinded by the ambition to become the biggest businessman in the country.”, Johan said while rubbing his face with a huff.
“Thanks for the attention, Mr. Johan.” Hani smiled thinly. “And you do not need to call me Madam anymore, because I will soon part with mas Adi.”
Johan was silent for a moment while thinking, “Alright, from now on I will only mention names only if we meet, so you can call my name without frills. And I am ready to help if you are having trouble.”
Hani nodded slowly, “.I will think. Thanks for the attention.”
Johan was concerned about Hani's situation. She sympathizes with her boss's home life. Hani is a simple young girl who is forced into an elite environment. Their marriage in return of master Sofian Prayoga to Hani's father who once saved him from the target of criminals.
After learning of his son-in-law's affair, Mr. Ginanjar who is just a simple restaurant owner suffered a heart attack to take his life, the event occurred two years ago. A year later Marni also followed her husband due to congenital disease and could not face the insults of his irony that always demeaned his daughter.
While in the meeting room, Faiq was pensive after coming out of the courtroom. He did not care about the whispers of his other colleagues.
“Wah, it appears there is a fire beard nih...” cetus Anggi glanced at Hesti who looks wry, “...there are no sweet-sweet.”
“Emang le Mineral..” reply Darwin.
“There is a rival...” connect Rudi to the point.
Hesti snorted sharply, “If the soul mate does not go where..” he said. “Struggle is still long.”
“Pak Faiq thinks what the hell?” Anggi serves warm coffee and snacks in front of Faiq who is still engrossed in his world.
“His gaze shifted my world..” Hendro started playing drama.
Faiq woke up from his daydream, “Sorry, I did not concentrate.” he immediately sipped the coffee that was already available.
“I know Mr. Adi's husband from mbak Hani.” Rudi opened his voice. “People are handsome, but less sociable.”.
“The name is also a businessman, if slang will be used by irresponsible people.” Darwin tried to defend.
“The wife I now see is also pregnant young?” said Rudi.
“What's true?” kepo Hendro's soul made Faiq sharpen his hearing. “What he is beautiful, because I think his wife who is now no less interesting..”.
“Beauty it relative.” reply Darwin.
“Which surely he was the age of Mr. Adi maybe 35 an. But his appearance is fashionable anyway, and always sexy.”
“Pak Adi likes more experience, ha ha ha ...” Rudi laughed loudly.
