THE TRIAL

Aaron walked towards his room, took his coat off, and dialed Walter's number.

"Walter? Where are you?" Aaron asked.

"I am driving towards Mr. Erik's house", Walter said.

"Erik is with you?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, he asked me to drop him home", Walter said.

"Do you know where Alayah's house is located?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, I dropped her sister there", Walter said.

"Ok good, go there, and bring Alayah's Japanese language books", Aaron said.

"Okay I am near that location", Walter said.

AT ALAYAH'S HOUSE:

Luna was sitting in her bed, she opened the picture of that document on her phone, roomed it, and tried to read, and understand. The words and language were a little complicated for her to understand, so she got up, wore the jacket, and went outside the house.

After a while, Walter reached Alayah's home. He knocked at the door, Elin waited she thought that Luna might open the door, but she didn't know that Luna is not at home, on the third knock she got up and opened the door, and was shocked to see Walter.

"Ms. Elin?" Walter asked to see her here.

"Mr. Walter? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I should ask this question, what are you doing here?" Walter asked.

"I… I am… I am Alayah's roommate", she said.

"Alayah's roommate owns a fashion house?" he asked.

"I don't own any… but I… I just want to own", she said.

"What do you do then?" Walter asked curiously.

"I sew clothes or people at home, please don't tell this to Erik, I met him and he thought I am rich, I could not do anything now, I know it is wrong but… I will tell him soon", Elin said.

"I am feeling so bad", Elin said and started crying, "Please don't tell him anything", she added.

"Ms. Elin, I think I should leave now", Walter said and left. Elin shut the door and started weeping that what she is doing with Erik.

AT THE COURT (THE NEXT MORNING):

Everyone was sitting and waiting for the judge to arrive.

"Alayah, I don't want to leave my uncle", Harry said in a sad tone.

"Don't worry, your uncle will not leave you", Alayah said.

"Really?" Harry asked.

"Yes, after the trial we will go home", Alayah said.

The judge came, and the lawyer from Aaron's side stood up and said, "Sir, the child wants to live with his uncle, and he does not even know Mr. Grendel or his family, it would be difficult for the child to live with Mr. Grendel".

The lawyer from Grendel's side stood up and said, "Sir the matter is something else, first of all, look at this document, it is proof that Mr. Henry gave five percent of the companies shares to Mrs. Grendel but Mr. Aaron didn't let them know, is it fair?" the lawyer gave the document to the judge and gave one copy to Aaron. Aaron looked at the document and he was shocked as it was the same document that he was hiding from everyone.

"Sir, Mr. Aaron, being a single person cannot take care of a child", the lawyer added.

"The Trial is postponed to a later date. On the basis of certain evidence, the custody of Harry is given to Mr. and Mrs. Grendel", the judge said and stood up to leave.

Harry started crying, "Harry, we are with you, just calm down", Alayah said.

"I want to live at my mother's house, please", Harry cried.

"Harry, let's go outside", Denzel said and picked him up, Alayah followed him. Aaron was just standing there; he could not understand what just happened.

Mr. and Mrs. Grendel walked toward Aaron; Grendel gave him a devilish smile.

"You will regret, I am saying this, you guys are doing wrong with this kid", Aaron said and left.

"I am so scared uncle", Harry said to Denzel while weeping.

"There is no need, your both uncles are with you", Denzel cried to calm him.

"He has been suffering from the trauma, this was a huge, huge change in his life, now how he will accept this new change again?" Alayah said to Aaron.

"This happened due to that file", Aaron said.

"You should have shown some maturity, where was the file?" Alayah asked.

"The file was and is still at home, someone took picture of that document, I will never leave them like this, they will regret it", Aaron shouted. And saw Mr. and Mrs. Grendel from a distance.

"Alayah, please make Harry ready to go with us", Mrs. Grendel said while looking at Aaron.

"This is not over yet", Aaron warned her.

"Yes, it is not, but it will end soon, and yes Harry will live with us forever, did you hear? Forever!" Mrs. Grendel said.

"Darling, don't waste your time on this man, he is even not worth it", Mr. Grendel said to his wife.

"Grendel! watch your words", Denzel said.

"You guys don't care about Harry, you are just interested in the property, I am telling you, you cannot beat me like this", Aaron said.

"Aaron Lincoln, Aaron Lincoln, Aaron Lincoln, we don't care what you think, you mean nothing to us! Do you understand?

"Grendel stop", Denzel said.

"Mr. Denzel, stop interrupting, or choose one, with whom you want to be, with your sister and nephew? Or do you still want to be this man's puppet?" Grendel shouted.

"Puppet? You want me to break your face", Denzel said and ran towards Grendel.

"Denzel, stop it now", Mrs. Grendel said.

"Alayah, I am so scared", Harry said and hugged Alayah.

"Harry, don't listen to them, just look at me, I am with you, come with me, we will go outside to get some fresh air", Alayah said and picked Harry up.

She went outside and called a taxi; the taxi came and they left that place.

"I am leaving now, and I need Harry at my place, did you get that?" Grendel said to Aaron.

"Shut up", Aaron said.

"If Harry didn't come, I will kill you, and Denzel is the witness, I warned him", Grendel said and left.

Denzel looked around, Alayah and Harry were not there. He dialed Alayah's number.

"Alayah is not picking the phone up, I want him to go to Grendel's house with Harry, at least we will able to know what Harry is doing there", Denzel said to Aaron.

"She might take Harry to some quiet place, Harry doesn't feel good in such an environment", Aaron said.
