Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 38 - Meeting At Court



The day they had been waiting for had arrived. Lisa and her mother were ready to go to court. This time, Bella decided not to come because she didn't want anything to do with her father. She preferred to relax at home while waiting for the trial to end.

Lisa wore her flagship black blazer with matching color of her pants. Her long black hair was tied back, pinned in a rhinestone-studded pin. Today Lisa looked polite and charming. Kumala, although not looking as charming as Lisa, still looked neat and polite with her casual cream colored dress and hair tied back. At first glance, these two women look very similar.

Lisa didn't wear excessive makeup. Moreover, she didn't use bright red lipstick. Today was the most important day for Lisa and her mother. Lisa must appear as simple as possible so as not to attract too much attention.

The clock showed it was eight in the morning. On this most important day in the history of his life, Oscar promised to pick up Lisa and her mother and take them to court. The man would also attend as Lisa's companion, in the hope that his presence in court would reduce Kumala and Lisa's anxiety.

A few minutes later, a black Alphard was parked in front of Lisa's gate. A tall man got out of the car. He was wearing a black velvet suit that looked luxurious with sunglasses perched on his high nose.

When she saw the person standing at the door, Lisa invited him to enter. Kumala stood in the doorway with an amazed face. She didn't think that her future son-in-law was a foreigner!

Kumala looked at the tall man with a friendly smile on his face. She was really surprised to see the figure of that man. Kumala was a little hesitant to talk to him because she was not very good at speaking English, so Lisa introduced him to Kumala.

"Mom, this is my future husband Oscar. Oscar, this is Kumala, my mother. Take it easy, Oscar speaks fluent Indonesian!" Lisa explained.

Oscar then lowered his head and gave Kumala a greeting. The man smiled kindly at Kumala, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Kumala, come, I will take you to court."

Not only handsome, this man was also surprisingly polite! Kumala fell in love with Oscar at the first meeting.

In the car, Kumala whispered to Lisam "Lis, how come you didn't say that he was a foreigner? He's handsome too. Oh my God, fortunately it's not a tacky local guy like your father!"

Lisa patted her mother on the shoulder, "Mom! Don't be loud! Oscar can hear you!"

Nearly an hour on the journey, they all arrived at the court's office. There Kumala and Lisa waited in the lobby while Oscar called Thomas. That morning, the court office was not very busy, so there was still a moment to wait for the others to arrive.

After Oscar finished using his cell phone, Kumala walked over to him and said, "Oscar, thank you very much for helping us find a lawyer to resolve my divorce case. Really, I really thank you, son."

"You don't need to worry, my lawyer is the best. He's been my family's mainstay lawyer for twenty years!" Oscar answered confidently.

"Oscar, if you have to work today, you can go back to your work. We're fine with just the two of us, there's no problem at all. The two of us can handle this court!" Kumala said, a little bit hesitant.

"It's okay, ma'am, I intended to accompany you and Lisa so you wouldn't be nervous. I can only help mentally." Oscar replied politely. He lowered his body slightly to match Kumala's height.

"Come on, son, don't need to be so humble! If it weren't for you, how could I find a lawyer?" Kumala replied, blushing.

Not long after, the long-awaited finally arrived. Without feeling ashamed or guilty, Veronica and her family stepped into the building arrogantly.

Lisa stared at them fiercely and fiercely. Veronica and Karina were not that different! That morning, Veronica came wearing a bright red dress and exposed her chest. Her high heels were gold and diamond-plated. Karina was no less striking, wearing a tiger-patterned top and snake-patterned leather pants to match the high heels she wore. The two of them were truly mother and daughter like a devil with super thick, hideous makeup.

'This is a court, not a dangdut concert.' Lisa thought.

A scrawny, shabby male figure followed behind Veronica and Karina. That's Lisa's father, Gatot Soewandi. When seen from a distance, Veronica and Gatot looked like a master and servant. She didn't know what got into Veronica so that she wanted to marry a lowly man like Gatot.

When Karina passed Lisa and Kumala who were sitting waiting in the lobby, she stopped and glared at Lisa with a hateful look.

"If it weren't for your boyfriend, we wouldn't have come to court! But you will see, your family will definitely not win this court!" Karina scoffed with her hands on her hips. Her gesture looked arrogant, annoying Lisa when she saw it!

Thomas Manurung arrived in a hurry, he was almost late but was saved! The panel of judges had not arrived yet, so he still had a few minutes to speak to Oscar and Kumala.

"Today, the trial will be fierce! The defendant presented a lawyer who was no less reliable than me!" The man was holding a folder containing files and evidence to use during the trial, "So Mrs. Kumala, is it true that your husband has not signed your divorce papers at all?"

Kumala nodded in agreement. The woman hoped her side won this court!

The clock showed 10 o'clock, the panel of judges had arrived, and it's time for the trial to begin! Lisa and Kumala entered the courtroom together with Thomas Manurung, followed by several witnesses and Oscar who sat in the back seat.

Across the chair where the plaintiff sat, Karina, Veronica and Gatot were seated in a row. Veronica and her only daughter couldn't hide their arrogance from their gazes, as if they were going to win this court easily.

Lisa leaned over and asked Thomas, "Mr. Thomas, you sure that our side will win, right? It's clear my father was guilty of not signing my mother's divorce papers!"

"Take it easy, Lisa. All this evidence will support our victory!" Thomas explained convincingly.

***

The trial lasted nearly an hour. Veronica and her family walked out of the courtroom looking languid and annoyed. Gatot trailed behind them, looking the most pathetic among the three.

"Our mother won! Thank goodness Mom is now officially divorced! There is no longer a shadow of a father in your life!" Lisa hugged her mother tightly. Tears of joy flowed from her beautiful eyes.

"Without Oscar's help, mother's divorce papers would not have been completed! Oscar!" The middle aged woman called out to the blonde haired man, "Thank you very much, son!"

Oscar only smiled politely in response to Kumala's thanks. He was still standing near the exit. His head turned in all directions, looking for Gatot's cowardly figure.

The blonde haired man walked over to the pitiful looking old man. He then held him from the doorway. "Hey old man, listen to me!" His voice was deep and terrifying. Gatot stood still, terrified.

"If I hear or see you bother Kumala and her family again, then you will deal with me!" Oscar pointed his finger at Gatot's chin.

Karina and Veronica still didn't seem to accept their defeat. Accepting defeat meant swallowing the bitterest pill they had ever tasted!

"Hey bitch! You can win today, but remember! One day you'll be crushed!" Karina shouted from a distance. Veronica ignored Lisa and Kumala's existence. The mother and child both hate Lisa and Kumala. Their thick makeup couldn't even cover the hatred radiating from their faces!

They all then returned to their homes.. Today was truly the happiest day in the history of Lisa and Kumala's life.
