Kinara and Abimana's divorce process did not go smoothly. Many obstacles make the divorce process longer. Since the failed mediation, Abimana has continued to express his rejection of the divorce suit filed by Kinara. He even brought various letters of evidence or witnesses to prove that Kinara's accusation was just a misunderstanding. Abimana's fussy attitude, of course, forced the trial to continue.
However, Kinara—the plaintiff—and Kresna as her lawyer are also not stupid. They always come to court without being absent. Even Kinara didn't just send Kresna as her lawyer, she felt she had to face everything.
The evidence of the affair and the original witnesses of Kinara was presented to make the chance of winning a landslide victory over the divorce that she had filed herself to be greater. Coupled with the claim over the ownership rights to A&K Diamond—a jewelry store that she had built with Abimana, perhaps make Abimana will be even more desperate. Kinara will not let go of the outlet which has will become a big store. She had a great contribution to its construction. At least, she must take one definite step to seize valuable assets before Abimana reverses the ownership name.
"Mrs. Kinara, you have to be patient for a while. Your divorce from Mr. Abimana will happen because the evidence of his affair that we have is much more accurate. We can even charge him with adultery. However, the problem about the A&K Diamond store, it seems that it will take time which is longer. Your contribution to that jewelry store is equally large. We must find stronger evidence to win this case," Kresna explained to Kinara as he walked out of the courthouse.
Kinara sighed. "I know, I could have bought all the contributions that Abimana gave to build that jewelry store. It's just, will he accept my offer, when he is so persistent in refusing a divorce? It seems impossible," she said.
"At least we have to prove that you are the most entitled to own that asset." Kresna smiled. "Aren't you satisfied after seeing that Mr. Abimana had trouble persuading you to reconcile? Looks like he still loves you." A smug, slightly seductive smile was on Kresna's lips. He rolls her eyes to tease Kinara. He stepped into the front of the Kinara and walked backwards in front of that woman.
"Watch your said, Mr. Lawyer. There are a lot of people watching us. Behave like a professional lawyer, at least for now."
Kinara who felt uncomfortable had to warn Kresna. The reason is that several times, the lawyer who is seven years younger than her has acted inappropriately, instead tending to be like a high school student who is flirting with a teenage girl his age. And that man's actions suck.
Even now, Kinara still can't believe it. She had to involve a young lawyer who was often being childish. On the other hand, she had to admit that Kresna's abilities were quite decent. Kresna has a talent for cornering someone, so even Abimana's lawyer is silent with just a few sentences of rebuttal from him. Pramono is not wrong in choosing people, what is wrong is why that person has to be so childish.
"Ouch!" Kresna immediately moved to return to his initial position beside Kinara. "I know you were raised like a princess or even a queen. But you don't have to be so rigid, Madam. Before you get older, you should have fun."
Kinara suddenly stopped walking. The next second, she looked at Kresna, then said, "Having fun? In a situation like this?"
"Oh sorry ... it's not like that, Madam." Kresna realized that he had said the wrong thing. His steps also stopped. " At least add some emotional features to your pretty face hehe. Wouldn't a flat face just make you look pathetic? What if Mr. Abimana laughed at you?"
"That's better," said Kinara. She took a step again. "Wouldn't it be unnatural if I looked like I was having fun, Mr. Lawyer? I'm in the spotlight camera and people's eyes right now. I can't look happy in this situation, but I also don't want to look too pathetic."
"Wow! You are amazing!"
"One more thing, Mr. Kresna, can you change the word 'stiff' to the word 'elegant'?"
Kresna shook his head. "Why should it be changed? That's my assessment of you, Madam. After all, elegance doesn't have to be expressionless. You tend to be more rigid than elegant."
"I wouldn't be surprised if you become an argumentative lawyer who never wants to lose. You tend to be more stubborn and less easy to talk to."
"Hahaha! Good assessment for me, Mrs. CEO!"
Kresna then opened the car door, when his sentence was finished and his steps stopped near Kinara's luxury vehicle. "See you later, Mrs. CEO. I'll be in your office early." He winked after saying that.
"No," said Kinara. "I don't want your arrival. I have an important meeting and sufficient for any discussion regarding my divorce case for today."
"Yes." Kresna sighed in disappointment. However, not long after, his face looked more cheerful. "In that case, okay!" Oh, plans to hang out outside of work seem a good idea, he thought. There was a shop he had wanted to visit for a long time, a clothes shop! To buy a special dress.
"Thank you, Mr. Kresna, see you later."
Kresna smiled and bowed his body, while Kinara was already on his way back to the office.
Because there was already a conjecture embedded in Kinara's mind; that Abimana would be coming to her soon or might have been waiting for her to make calculations regarding the prosecution of a jewelry store. That guess made Kinara not want to be involved with Kresna for too long. She wanted to face Abimana by herself after recently being helped by her young lawyer.
"I have to buy that dress before it runs out!" said Kresna as he ran quickly to his car, after the car that Kinara and Kinara's driver was traveling in had disappeared from his sight eyes.
***
About fifteen minutes passed and that's when Kinara arrived at her company office. The employees gave her a greeting. They were so reluctant, but Kinara was sure that after she disappeared, they would whisper to each other about the case that happened to her at this time. Luckily, Kinara wasn't someone who cared too much about what people said, even if those people were employees of her own company. As long as they work well, Kinara won't mind.
"Kinara!"
The sound was heard and almost rattled Kinara's eardrums as soon as she entered the lobby area of the company. Of course, the owner of the voice is an Abimana. The man had even walked towards Kinara, and came from the waiting area of that company.
Kinara's guess was never wrong. The man came. Kinara doesn't know why Abimana didn't just go upstairs, or maybe Abimana wants to try to embarrass Kinara in the company lobby. Whatever the man's plans, Kinara will not flinch. Facing the gaping wound in her heart, Kinara was able, it didn't matter if she had to face the man who had inflicted the wound herself. She will endure any pain to face Abimana.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Abimana," said Kinara as calmly as possible, even though her heart was beating wildly.
And suddenly, Abimana grabbed both of Kinara's shoulders. While her eyes were busy staring at Kinara with a gaze that was so sharp. "Are you crazy?! Are you a greedy woman?! Isn't it enough just to get a divorce, huh?! But ... why do you want to dominate a jewelry store that we built together?!"
Suddenly, Kinara's eyes flashed as if a laser beam appeared from inside her cornea that eyes. No less sharp, she returned the gaze of that man who had betrayed her. Abimana wanted to embarrass him. Sick. Both his shoulders hurt badly. Annoyed, for some reason his heart was suddenly upset.
So, what will Kinara do to make Abimana even more defeated? Now, or in court later?
