"Why you?" ask Noval wonder.

"Had been invited to a date yesterday, so today was very happy" his papa tease made Lova mendelik dislikes.
"Udah pa don't start teasing me" Lova protested.
"Yes nih" now Noval's turn to start jail, a whistle that escaped from Noval's lips made Lova embarrassed and upset.
"You two don't embarrass me dong"
"Oh, Mbak Lova shay shay cat nih" said Noval accompanied by laughter.

Unceasingly Noval teases Lova whose face is now red.
His father laughed at him too.
"Papa belain me dong"
"Noval don't make Lova upset look at her face already red, as red as chili and tomato"
Lova grunted annoyedly it turned out that her papa was just as trying to disturb her.

"Well, I'm not angry just embarrassed"
"Oh, will we go to court?" ask Noval.
"So dong" answered the father.

"Don't be sad, you just doain yes let the trial smoothly and the results are as we expect" said Noval.
"Aamiin, I must be doing this for you"
Mr. Marco downed his drink to the toilet, "Papa has finished his breakfast now papa pamit go to the office first yes and make Noval later go to court between your own private driver his name is Pak Agus today he has entered work papa's got the car ready"

"Noval I'm leaving yes" said Lova when she saw Noval was at home free to play games.
"Yes be careful"
"Don't play this grandiose game already at half-nine you're not ready"
"Yes, this is over"
Lova stepped out of the house and went straight to school. The trip to school was smooth as usual, he went straight to school and was welcomed by Indy and Aldo.
"Morning Lova" said Indy's catar.
"For Indy" Lova greeted and sat on her bench.
"Hi sister Va" now Aldo's turn to say hello.

"Oh yes today the trial is Noval?" ask Indy.
"Yes, the trial was smooth and papa got custody of Noval"

"Later in the afternoon the plan is for me to play with Aldo to your house all you want to know also the state of Noval now, yes Al" said Indy while elbowing Aldo's arm.

"May whoever forbid me even mengeneng know" said Lova spirit.
"If so it has been decided that I am with Aldo will stay tonight" said Indy enthusiastically.
Didn't know that at the beginning of his plan he and Aldo just stop by to visit Noval instead can be bonus nginep at Lova's house, what dream Indy last night thought of his modus for Noval suddenly appeared in his brain. Likewise Aldo, he feels happy but the direction of his mind is to play the game until satisfied with Noval must be exciting.

At 10:45 the hearing began, Noval was a little nervous but saw the shady smile of his papa made Noval so calm. There was also his mother and stepfather and his three half-brothers.
The trial was started by Mr. Marco's lawyer as papa Noval by throwing an argument accompanied by evidence.
Not to lose the lawyer from his mother's side also gave a slightly difficult rebuttal to Mr. Marco's side but the lawyer Mr. Marco is not that easy to be paralyzed. He was among the senior lawyers who were well-respected against young lawyers who had just entered the legal world must have been very easy for him but he also did not underestimate and was quite impressed with the young lawyer who is now his opponent.
Until a heated debate between the two lawyers, they were seen dropping each other until finally the Judge asked Noval for testimony.
Noval was asked to go forward, at a glance he saw a face towards his papa who nodded steadily towards him, Noval also dismissed the fear that pervaded in him.
Walking limped with his cane he passed his mother who looked at him full of threats. In this situation even his mother still looks rough on him indirectly especially if he will return home, Noval can't imagine living in a house flooded with hot lava every day, Noval wouldn't want that to happen.
Noval was sitting in a chair facing the Judge. It felt like his heart was about to be dislodged from its place because it was pounding too much.
"Sir Noval I will ask you a few things please answer honestly and do not be afraid of anyone because it concerns the good of your life" said the Judge.
Noval nodded slowly. His mouth felt stiff to speak. In his heart Noval continued to pray the best for himself.
"Son Noval, how did your mother treat you at home?"
Noval gulped his saliva just soaked his dry throat before he answered a question from Mr. Judge, "My mother often distinguished me from my half-brother"
"Example?"
"I often live traveling alone at home"
"That's because you're Noval's school so mom can't take you" her mom said suddenly.
The Judge tapped his hammer to calm things down, "Mom don't talk first"
Her mother was very upset and angry to learn that Noval humiliated her in front of the Judge and her ex-husband.
"Forward, son" asked the Judge to Noval.
"My mother also often scolded the small mistakes I made"
"What mistakes have you made?"
"Rome late or accidentally damage objects in the house"
"Isn't it normal for a mother to do this when her child makes a mistake?"
"True Mr. Judge but my mama not only scolded me but also beat me"
"Do you want to live with your father?"
"Yes, Mr. Judge"
"What's your strongest reason for choosing to stay with your father, son?"
Noval was silent for a moment, "I have a twin sister who loves me very much her name is Lova, she always lighted up my days but when mom always asked me to stay away from Lova I didn't like her and strongly denied. Mama will also be angry when I spend time with Lova, just to meet my mother was also angry Mr. Hakim even though Lova was always there in every situation I experienced while my relationship and papa was also said to be close was not but she quickly asked my custody when I know what I have experienced makes my heart full so I want to stay with them both" Noval said in a slightly trembling voice.
The judge was seen scraping ink on his paper, "Well Naughty you're welcome back to your seat"
Noval nodded then stood up from her seat and walked to where she was.
"The trial will be held later in the afternoon, at three o'clock. It is hoped that you will be in the room in time because the results of the trial will be read immediately" after saying Mr. Judge hit his hammer several times and the trial was temporarily stopped.
Mr. Marco patted Noval on the shoulder giving him strength, "You're going to the cafeteria? We'll have lunch there"
Noval nodded.
When Mr. Marco and Noval walked out of the room, his mother seemed to intend to approach but Mr. Marco's sharp eyes immediately intimidated the existence of his mother made her mother undo her intentions.
Noval so know if in addition to having the tenderness of his papa also has a firm attitude that makes people can be afraid.
In this way he feels protected and hopes that the results of the trial will be issued later in the afternoon in accordance with what he expects.
