Loving My Brother's Fiancee
46. Escape

"Bad! How dare he ask like that" Abra said angrily, as she had walked into a room, which was reserved for witnesses before the trial.

"They just ask, they don't know anything. So do not think too much" said Salwa who tried to calm her husband.

"How could I not think of it, they already carry your name. They must have wanted to vilify your name."

"I don't feel that way. Don't think too much. Now we must prepare ourselves to enter the courtroom."

Abra, who remembered that, immediately changed her expression. He approached the wife and clasped Salwa's palm. The man wanted to give his wife strength because he knew Salwa was agitated. The woman was happy because Abra knew exactly what she needed right now.

"You just calm down. Everything will go fine. I will always be behind you" Abra said.

Salwa just nodded with a smile. A few minutes later the lawyer came into the room. He told the woman how to testify. Whatever will happen in the trial later because this is the first time for the woman to be present in a place like this. Salwa was really nervous. He was afraid if he said something wrong or did something that would make it more difficult.

Salwa was then taken to the court. Everything was tense. There he was asked a few questions by Ibra's lawyer. It had made the woman unfocused, but with the help of Abra's lawyer, Salwa answered her well.

There was a dispute between the two lawyers. To make a tense situation throughout the trial trip. Mama Syakila just kept crying. He was truly unwilling if his son should be imprisoned. Papa Handi who was beside him could only calm the wife. He was silent as he rubbed the woman's back because he was just as worried.

The trial is finally over. The next hearing will be held in two weeks with other witnesses. The suspect was also arrested along with Ibra. Salwa was relieved that she was done, and the woman went home with her husband. He also thanked the lawyer.

"Salwa" called Abra as he walked over to his wife.

"Come, Mas! We go home," take Salwa.

"Yes, go! Where are you going first?"

"It's not like it's going anywhere, Mom. I'm just going home. I'm still tired."

Salwa and Abra went together. From a distance, the two could see Ibra walking with some policemen. Salwa could see that there was such great anger in the eyes of her former fiance. I don't know why there was fear in his heart.

He knew very well what the character of the man was, who would justify any means to his wishes. Abra tightened his hand as if to tell his wife that he would protect her. The police took Ibra into the car and left the courthouse.

"Have it, you don't worry too much, everything will be fine" Abra said, staring at his wife's face.

"Yes, Mas. Yeah, come on, let's go!"

The two take a car to Anton's house. In the middle of the trip Abra gets a call from a lawyer who says if Ibra escaped. It certainly made Abra surprised, as well as afraid if his brother did something to Salwa. As was done before.

But Ibra's men have been arrested by police. Is it possible that he could do that again? Abra would do well to order his men to guard Salwa, wherever and wherever he may be. Seeing her husband's tense face made the woman understand, something must have happened, but Salwa would wait after Abra called.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Salwa.

"That, dear Ibra ran away, just now on the way to the police station."

"You just calm down. I will send my men to take care of you so you must not protest, when there are some people around you. It's also for your own good."

Salwa just nodded. She knew what her husband was doing was for her own good. Whether the woman likes it or not, Salwa must accept because if not want things like yesterday to happen again.

"Yes, then. Come on, let's go home! Don't think too much." Abra continued his delayed journey.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the front of the house. As the two got out of the car, a police car entered the courtyard. Abra and Salwa looked at each other, as if asking, what is the police car coming here for?

"Excuse me, Mr. Abra, Mrs Salwa" said one person who had just got out of the car.

"Yes, Sir. What's up, huh?" asked Abra who really did not understand their arrival.

"Look, Sir. Maybe you've heard about the news about Ibra's brother who fled because of that, we were ordered to guard this house. It is feared that the suspect has a grudge against you and your family and is doing something unwanted, like yesterday."

Abra nodded. "In that case, I'll be very grateful because you've been bothered to look after us."

"That's our responsibility, sir. Later there will be two officers who will stand guard in this house alternately. I hope you don't feel constrained. Officers will also wear casual clothes so as not to invite the attention of others."

"Oh yes, sir. Thank you for your wisdom. I accept the decision of the authorities with open arms. I'm very grateful. You all want to help us."

"Sana-sama, sir."

"What's up, Pa? Why does Papa look so worried?" ask Mama Syakila.

"That, Ma, Papa got word from the lawyer that Ibra ran away. How could he leave in such a state? If he is caught, then the punishment will be even more severe" Papa Handi said with a worried tone.

"Why did Ibra run away like that? Where's he going, Pa?" asked Mama Syakila who was also as worried as her husband.

"Papa also doesn't know where he went. Then I'll ask someone to look for him. He can't do bod*h stuff like this. Which will further aggravate his sentence."

Syakila knew the meaning of her husband's words. He could only keep quiet while praying that his son would be fine. If indeed escaping made Ibra happy, the woman would pray that her son would go far away and not be caught.

Meanwhile, Handi tries to contact someone, who can help her search for her son's whereabouts. He will pay whatever it takes for Ibra to be found in good health.
