True Love of the Heir

True Love of the Heir
CSP. 62


Two days later, Nadira was healthy enough to be said to be able to participate in the Bara trial. Arsen clasped Nadira's fingers that felt cold. Nadira looked nervous when he had to step his foot into the courtroom.


"Keep calm, Dear. You're stronger woman. You can face this, you have to be brave." Nadira nodded while breathing a few times.


Both entered the courtroom followed by two lawyers. Areef and Anthony also appeared behind him along with Luna and her parents.


Nadira, Arsen and Luna sat in the front seat as the party filing the case. Then, shortly after, the Chief Judge entered with two members of the Judge who suddenly made everyone stand up respectfully.


Nadira's heart beat faster, nervous, afraid and angry surrounded his heart. His heart trembled violently as the Chief Justice declared the trial open. Glancing at the slightly paler Nadira, Arsen reflexively grasped his fingers.


"You must be brave! Trust me, you are woman that braves who I ever seen," Arsen said trying to win her confidence. Then Nadira turned to the side, the place where Luna was. He also grasped his fingers, as if so they shared the strength of each other.


Luna smiled and muttered thank you. After that, what Nadira heard was the Public Prosecutor who called the defendant to appear in public in a free state.


Nadira averted his gaze as Bara entered the courtroom with a limp leg. In contrast to Nadira, Luna just stared at Bara sharply and the highlight of hatred that peaked. Sometimes he cursed himself who had liked that man.


Arsen lifted his chin up high, showing his arrogance towards Bara. Trying to make the man understand that no one can hurt his wife.


Bara and two others were asked if they were healthy and ready for trial. Bara seemed resigned when asked whether he was accompanied by a lawyer or not. Bara's down inside. Then, the indictment is read and continued with the examination of the points of the matter.


That same day, the Assembly of Judges ruled that Bara Gunawan and the two others were guilty of intentional kidnapping and torture. Hammers were knocked and Bara had to spend seventeen years of his life in iron bars.


Narrating himself, Bara looked at Nadira and Luna alternately, his countenance clearly showing deep regret. Obsession blinds his eyes and heart. Luna went up black as the man muttered sorry many times. If only Nadira had not held him back, Luna would have already slapped a loud slap for the man.


"Don't get your hands dirty, Luna!" Nadira reminded Luna. The woman threw away her face while Bara was being led to enjoy her sentence.


"He's got his payback, son. He had already paid a heavy price for his deeds," Areef commented with a wise smile as usual. Nadira and Luna nodded.


After the trial ended, Areef and Anthony chose to return to the main residence. Arsen himself was very busy and returned to his office, allowing Nadira to take a pause for herself to understand.


Nadira and Luna are sitting in a cafe. Both Luna's eyes blurred, as did Nadira. Both of them are equally soluble in the description of events that they never thought.


"Gue must be the dumbest girl ever because he likes that fucking Bara!" maki Luna's. A clear thread fell from his cheek. Nadira rubbed his shoulders slowly.


If Nadira thinks again, he also still does not expect. But Arsen once told him that the human heart is not always between black and white. People who look good, not necessarily good. And the bad guys are not always in crime.


In this vast world, some things appeared gray and faint. And the human heart is like a puzzle without answers, it is hard to guess. So there are suggestions not to judge someone from the outside view.


For a few minutes, Nadira let Luna spit out her tears in satisfaction. About the heart is too difficult to guess, Nadira can not even manage her own feelings. Given Arsen, Nadira also never expected to be in his position now.


Nadira's dream is simple, falling in love with the right person and the right way. It's not like he's in love with Arsen right now. He wanted to be loved simply, but what Arsen gave him, was more than that.


The man, always giving him and trying to give him whatever he had. Loved wonderfully by a great Arsen was never within reach of Nadira's head. Nadira then groped reality, about the quote he had heard.


That something that seems impossible to you is possible to God. I don't know what good he did until God put him in his current position. His life seemed to change by one hundred and eighty degrees.


Luna seemed to wipe her cheeks, after she was satisfied crying, she drank her Frappuchino until she was half. "Is it better?" nadira asked as she pulled a piece of tissue from the table.


Luna gave a short nod, "Do you want to drive home?" ask Nadira again.


"No need, Lo's condition is still not fully recovered, Nad. You have to go back to the hospital."


"But, Luna."


"Ck! There's no but-but. I'm okay, Nad. I'm fine, I'm good. I just need time to digest," he explained so that Nadira was not worried.


Nadira seemed to think. "Okay, I'll sit down in a minute, yeah. The weather's good again, huh."


The two just sat quietly while looking out at the cafe. Then the vehicles became decorate their eyes that afternoon. The hot sun does not discourage people who sweat out there.


"Nad," call Luna slowly. Nadira turned his head, looking at Luna who returned to her original sitting position.


"Gue asked, why is there pain? I'm not sure if I can't accept it, right?"


For the first ten seconds Nadira looked at Luna with a smile. "Pain is there to teach us stronger, Luna. There will be no iron if it is not hard. Humans are also the same, in order to be stronger, we are forged with testing, pain and sadness" Nadira explained.


Luna seemed to nod, trying to understand it well. "That, huh?"


"If we can't accept that, what? Humans have limits, don't they, Nad?"


Nadira was silent for a moment, touching his cup, he saw a small rippling coffee as a result of his touch. "We may have limits, but we also have God to surrender."
