Mubarak made a move to stand up but a firm grip on his hand had him rooted to his spot. He glared at the owner, yet Noah remained unfazed.
"Don't make a scene" Noah said lowly, not moving his gaze away from the show in front of him. Unlike the others, he somehow managed to remain calm. Perhaps it was because he had nothing to do with the case.
"Don't make a scene?" Mubarak repeated his words with utter disbelief lacing his tone. "Do you even hear yourself, Noah? That's my sister!" He half yelled, gaining the attention of the people close to them. Yet, he made no move to show an ounce of care on his face. At the moment, he couldn't care less whether everyone find out that he had been plotting against Tahir from the minute he met him. And judging by Noah's reaction, he wouldn't be surprised if Noah already found out.
But how? It couldn't be from the sudden outburst.
Noah blinked, not bothered a bit by Mubarak's tone. "I know she's your sister but don't you think it'll be better if you sit and listen?" He turned to look at his friend, a brow raised in the process. "Or would you rather they throw you out?"
Mubarak glared at Noah, not relenting one bit. "She's taking a crime she didn't commit!"
"How sure are you that she didn't do it?" Noah knew how much Mubarak love his sister, anyone who knows Mubarak knows that. Since she disappeared three years ago, no one has seen her until at the moment that she suddenly shows up.
And admit to committing murder.
"Don't you dare think of claiming that my sister is a murderer, Noah" Mubarak gritted his teeth. At the moment, his anger had blinded him of thinking rationally.
Noah sighed, "I'm not implying anything Mubarak. But don't you think it'll be better to listen first, before reacting?"
Mubarak snatched his hand out of Noah's grip though he made no move to create another scene. He simply sat and watch with eyes narrowed at Tahir in slits.
Tahir didn't notice though. His whole attention was on Aisha. And that angered Mubarak more.
Aisha on the other hand refused to look at anyone in the courtroom other than the judge. She was handed the Qur'an to swear before she gives her statement. "I, Aisha Saraki solemnly swear that the evidence I shall give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" She handed the Qur'an back to them when she was done.
"You said you're here to testify that Tahir didn't kill the late victim's mother, right?"
Without blinking an eye lid, she responded. "Yes"
"Is that all you're testifying on?"
"No" She exhaled lowly. "I'm also here to testify that he is innocent of the second case he's accused of as I was with him the day it happened" She wouldn't testify for the first one, as she wasn't there. The second one though, she would. She wouldn't let him go to prison after he helped her.
