Khadija
Letter to Blue.

67. Letter to Blue.

Countless times have the high court of Jakarta held a murder case trial conducted by Blue. The increasing number of witnesses from the public prosecutor makes the trial more complicated and buy time. Last week in the last month the trial was back in the title, presenting 6 witnesses including Khadijah. The trial began with the name of the witness led directly by the chief judge. Subsequently, the witnesses took the oath on the Quran before giving their testimony one by one.

After Mama Dusk, Barsha, and Pak Agus, Kha also got a turn forward sitting in a chair facing the presiding judge directly. Out of nowhere, Kha was completely calm when she got dozens of questions from the JPU who felt provoked and trapped. He lost his fear in order to give a truthful statement. So did the testimony given by Gentar, Barid, and others.

Although the testimony of the 6 people has been ascertained if Blue took action in a state of being squeezed to save others, still JPU continues to explore the mistakes that Blue did. Like why the sharp object is still in his hands, as well as minor injuries and bruises found in the body part of the corpse, he said, and there are many other reasons that make the trial has not also sulked to the stage of the verdict hearing.

“It's been almost two months, Pa... should how much longer mas Blue in prison,” Kha continues to whine at Clouds.

“Sabar, Kha ... God willing, if there is no obstacle 2 weeks longer the verdict will be read. You are calm, do not let your baby why-why.”

Kha leaned his head on the chair. Pulling and breathing harshly while throwing a glance at the streets. Now her pregnancy is 13 weeks old, and yet Kha told Blue. Not do not want, just waiting for the right moment to say directly. Unfortunately, that moment did not come. Kha feels that Blue already knows about her pregnancy, seen from every time she meets in the courtroom Kha finds Blue staring meaningfully at her stomach which is always covered with hoodie. Even so, Kha still wanted to convey the happy news himself.

“Kha ... Your phone sounds, Darling.” says mama Dusk.

Kha just sighed, then grabbed the device and read the incoming message that turned out from Ummi Alsea.

Tetuh do not forget tomorrow there is a schedule to check with the obstetrician yes. In the care of his health, who diligently drink folic acid, do not think much, Tea.

A message from Ummi Alsea that has always been the same since his return to Jogja. Kha rubbed back her stomach which already felt a little thicker in certain parts. While doing so, Kha always pensively thought about how the day would be with the prospective child.

“Why, Kha, any problems in the store?” ask Mama Dusk.

Kha shook her head, “enggak, Ma, just a message from Ummi ngingetin tomorrow there is a check schedule.” replied Kha.

*****

Kha stared at the spot, staring at herself in the mirror. Occasionally he pulls the robe back on the part of his stomach that still looks flat. He had just returned from the biological doctor at Mama Dusk, said the fetal doctor in his womb was 13 weeks old. Today, for the first time Kha heard the sound of a baby's heartbeat through a fetal doppler. Realizing there was another life in his stomach made Kha amazed to tears. She asked for a recording of her baby's heartbeat to be kept alone.

Kha smiled to herself while continuing to replay the sound. If only Blue could hear this.... Kha frowning. Suddenly an idea just flashed by, he came out of the room and walked quickly towards the photo studio looking for Dumbness.

“Assalamualaikum Mas Fadli no Bang Undaunted, no?” ask Kha.

“Waalaikumsalam. There was a photo shoot at the hotel Baliqui, Kha. You need something?”

Kha gave his phone to Fadli, “can you please move this file to portable mp3 player no, Mas?”

“Music?”

“Not music anyway, but voice recording.”

“Yes, okay I tried. Later when I love you.”

Kha returned to the flower shop with a flowering heart. He climbed into the room while continuing to stroke his stomach, not forgetting Kha brought a sprig of dried baby's breath flowers.

He sat at the dressing table, pulling a piece of paper from the binder and pen. Kha wants to write a letter to Blue, sharing her happy news even though indirectly.
