Chapter 6: The Palla Protocol — Chaos in the Courtroom
Early in the morning, Miss Rina was preparing her bag for court. Suddenly, a massive commotion broke out in the hall. Rina rushed out to find Mr. Diyari and Palla up to their usual antics. "My God, these two are going to drive me insane," she whispered. "Their drama never ends."
She found Mr. Diyari dressing Palla in a tiny black formal suit with a miniature briefcase strapped to his back.
"What on earth are you doing?" Rina asked, trying not to laugh. "Sit down, you troublemakers!"
Mr. Diyari replied with total seriousness, "Miss Rina, I feel today's case is very heavy. Palla and I decided he should be your legal assistant—a backup, so to speak. Trust me, Palla is a genius; he can sniff out a liar from a mile away!"
The chaos moved to the courtroom. While Rina was presenting her case, Mr. Diyari and Palla sat in the back. When the judge slammed his gavel on the desk, Palla thought it was a toy. He leaped onto the judge's bench and started batting at the gavel.
"What is this cat doing here?!" the judge roared in anger.
Mr. Diyari stood up boldly. "Your Honor, this is no ordinary cat. He is an expert in 'Slander Detection'!"
Rina buried her face in her hands out of sheer embarrassment, but the audience erupted into laughter. The serious courtroom had turned into a comedy club.
Meanwhile, back in prison, Leva was working on a "new invention." She had decided to sew her oversized prison clothes together to make a parachute for a grand escape. However, the cockroaches living in her hair wouldn't leave her alone.
"Look at Rina," Leva grumbled to herself. "She hires cats as lawyers while I'm stuck here. If I ever get out, the first thing I'll do is steal her mother's makeup and give it to these cockroaches so they can become models like me."
Suddenly, a guard arrived. "You have a letter from Mr. Diyari."
Leva opened it. It read: "Leva dear, Palla is now the Court Secretary. If you tell one more lie or fabricate another slander, Palla is coming to your cell to pull out your hair and hunt down your cockroach friends. Don't slander the laundry anymore!"
Leva was so furious she tried to scream, but at that exact moment, her oversized trousers slipped down again. The guards laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.
When Rina returned home, she found her mother waiting behind the door with a stick. "Did Palla steal another lipstick?" Rina laughed. "Mom, Palla might be a thief like Leva, but at least the judge loves him. Poor Leva, meanwhile, has cockroaches throwing parties in her hair."
In prison, Leva decided to launch a "Miss Prison" beauty pageant to get into the Guinness World Records.
"You're delusional," one inmate snapped. "You talk to walls and slander your own clothes. Get help!"
Leva ignored her. Since there was no makeup, she stole tomato paste and yogurt from the kitchen to use as lipstick and powder. The smell of the tomato paste drove the cockroaches wild; they swarmed her face. The guards thought she had contracted a rare, incurable disease, but Leva just shouted, "This is the new fashion! You people just don't understand style!"
Back at the office, Mr. Diyari invented a strange device using two Pepsi cans and some wire. "This translates Palla's meows into Kurdish!" he claimed. He turned it on.
"Meow," said Palla.
"See!" Mr. Diyari cried. "Palla says Leva is ruining the prison with her constant lies and thievery. He says she's a total nuisance!"
Rina knew Mr. Diyari was making it all up, but his absolute faith in the device was too funny to interrupt.
Leva's madness reached the prison kitchen. Assigned to cook, she used laundry detergent powder instead of salt because "it looked white and pretty." When the inmates ate the soup, they started foaming at the mouth.
"You crazy woman! What did you put in this?" they choked.
"Ungrateful peasants!" Leva yelled back. "You're all slandering my cooking!"
Eventually, Rina brought Palla to visit Leva. "This cat is a spy," Rina warned. "He has cameras in his eyes."
Palla suddenly lunged at Leva, chasing the cockroaches right out of her hair.
"Rina! Get this beast away from me! He's eating my brain!" Leva screamed.
"Oh, don't worry," Rina smiled. "I just brought him so you'd have someone to be afraid of."
To top it all off, Mr. Diyari printed posters of Rina and Palla and plastered them everywhere. They read: "Got a problem? Call Miss Rina or her Legal Assistant, Palla. If Rina can't help, the cat will!" When Rina went to her office, she couldn't even get through the door because of the crowd of people waiting to see the "Cat Lawyer."
Rina finally realized that sometimes, laughter is the best revenge against the past. Life with a crazy secretary and a brilliant cat was much more beautiful than a life spent in the shadow of Leva's lies.
