'Indeed, those who wish that the most wicked deeds (false news) should be spread among the believers, they shall have a painful punishment in the world and in the Hereafter. And Allah knows, and ye know not.” (QS. An-Nur: 19)'

...****************...

"What did you say? My son couldn't have done that. Let alone to touch you, to stare at you I'm sure he must be reluctant, for he knows how he must bow his gaze, at what it is not lawful to look at!" yelling Umi Hana full of anger.

Kyai Asy'ari touched Umi Hana's shoulder then shook her head.

"Please calm down, Umi. Don't get carried away by emotions."

Umi Hana's breath went up and down, her chest felt tight as the son was slandered like that. The whispers and jolts of the citizens are increasingly heard. Residents who were only in the courtyard now increasingly filled the living room.

'Alaaahh .. he spoke like that because the man was his son. Yes it is desirable to defend it even if it is wrong.'

'If Kiai Malik does not make decisions and assertiveness, it is outrageous! the head of Ustad Wafri is his son-in-law.'

'We can't talk like that just yet, because the evidence isn't quite accurate enough.'

'what's the evidence, didn't Mr. RW have seen it directly.'

The whispers and talk of people are getting more and more heard.

"Please calm down everyone! we are here to solve the problem and find a solution, now we have to hear first, how Ustad Wafri responds to the photo shown by Ustadzah Jamilah," said Kyai Malik.

"Ustad Wafri, now we want to hear what Ustad Wafri has to say about what Ustadzah Jamilah has just said."

Kiai Malik tried to speak formally to Wafri so that he did not look like he was defending his son-in-law.

Yumna touched Wafri's hand and held it. Wafri looked into Yumna's eyes, and Wafri knew that Yumna was also waiting for his explanation.

"Say! Mas. Whatever I'm gonna say, I trust you!"

Wafri sighed.

"The photo is true." Wafri said calmly.

Like something hit his chest, Wafri's words made Yumna's chest feel tight. Jamilah put a thin smile on his lips, because he was sure Wafri would not be evasive with what he said because he had the proof.

Silence ensued, everything in the room was waiting for more explanation from Wafri.

"But I argue with what Ustadzah Jamilah said. Everything that Ustadzah Jamilah said was completely untrue. I will clarify it. That time ... Ustadzah Jamilah stopped my vehicle, I stopped and opened the car window and asked him, What is it? he said, if he can ride in my car, because the online taxi he ordered from earlier did not come. At first .. I refused. But he kept pleading on the grounds that his parents were sick at home and he had to rush home, because he would take his parents to the hospital."

"I finally delivered him, only God knows! I never touched him at all at the time, and it would be a lie if he said I dropped him by the side of the road. Because I dropped him off right in his yard. After that I went home without getting out of the car."

"Once the explanation from me, everything Ustazah Jamilah said was not true. Once again I emphasize both the incident at home or the problem of photos, everything that Ustadzah Jamilah said was not true," said Wafri loudly.

Jamilah who heard Wafri's defense clenched his hands and tightened his jaws, while remaining bowed. He does not want, all his plays that have been far away played this is in vain

Yumna who heard Wafri's explanation smiled in relief. But, her tears were flowing down her cheeks. Wafri saw it wipe away Yumna's tears.

"There's nothing to cry about, Deck. Life is a lesson. A great man is not an extraordinary man, but one who keeps learning. If you are hurt to learn, if you are slandered also learn. Life lessons make us more advanced and stronger. Remember that! we have God, do you not say that God does not sleep? so no need to worry.

Yumna nodded her head and Wafri rubbed Yumna's head. This made their parents smile. But not for people who don't like it, including Ustad Andi.

When Wafri got into trouble, Ustad Andi was a grateful person for the suffering of Wafri. Ustad Andi harbored resentment and anger towards Ustad Wafri, more precisely his personal grudge against Ustad Wafri.

This began a few months ago, he learned that the woman he was expecting was preached by Wafri. But at that time he had prepared everything to menghitah women he liked. But one step too late from Wafri, he heard the news that the woman had been preached.

He also tried to catch it. Some time ago, he found out that Wafri did not marry the woman, but married Yumna the sister of the woman he liked. Yes, the woman was Salma, especially when she saw how Salma was sad for the happiness of the two people, she became angry, angry at the irresponsible attitude of Wafri and played Salma.

Ustad Andi has actually loved Salma for so long, since Salma was still sitting on the bench Aliyah. Ustad Andi admired him. Salma who grew up to be a beautiful and smart girl and always achieves, only at that time he did not dare to reveal because he was still new as Ustad in the boarding school, and also Salma who is still Aliyah. Finally, he held back the feeling and intended to propose to Salma when he finished his studies.

When news of Ustad Wafri and Yumna's wedding came out, Ustad Andi again focused on Salma who happened to have returned from college. He often saw the murat of sadness on Salma's face.

Ustad Andi was getting more upset and hurt, because seeing the woman he liked instead of happy, even more suffering. That's why Ustad Andi felt grateful for the news of the furore that befell Ustad Wafri. So he did not need to be tired to avenge his annoyance and heartache to Ustad Wafri.

"Your Pak Kyai here is a person whom we have great respect for and as a religious leader whom we are disdainful of. We hope that you can provide a fair and also thoughtful solution, Do not because solely Ustad Wafri is your son-in-law, so that you do not uphold justice. Pity Ustadzah Jamilah, he became a victim almost desecrated, it is the same as stepping on his pride as a woman" said one resident.
