In a room in Rayhan's office there are many journalists waiting for the presence of Rayhan and Izzah.
As soon as Rayhan and Izzah entered the room the atmosphere began to boisterous. The reporters scrambled to photograph the moment of Rayhan and Izzah's arrival hand in hand, as if they didn't want to miss the moment.
Rayhan then withdrew the seat Izzah was about to occupy. They sat side by side with three other people, Rahmat sir and witnesses of the marriage of Rayhan and Izzah first.
As Rayhan began to speak the atmosphere of the room began to quiet down.
"Assalamualaikum, good morning by noon everyone. First of all thank you to all of you who have been present in this room.
Without lingering, I just tell you. I had this meeting to clarify the rumors that were circulating about me and Izzah who was said to be having an affair until it was reported that Izzah was now pregnant out of wedlock." Rayhan let out a deep breath and continued speaking.
"Can I say all the news is hoax. All rumors are slander. Izzah and I were a religiously legal married couple. In other words I and Izzah have married sirri. The marriage took place long before I married Bella Pratiwi, whom you know as my current wife.
I am speaking this way not without evidence, everything I say is in accordance with the facts that happened. The three men who sat with me and Izzah were the ones who played an important role in my marriage contract at the time. He is Rahmat sir as the ruler, while the two people beside him are Mr. Roy and Mr. Dimas as witnesses in my marriage contract and Izzah.
Now I'm going to show you a video. Please judge for yourself whether the video is real or engineered" Rayhan said calmly.
Then a video is played on the pre-provided projector screen. The video shows Rayhan and Izzah's marriage contract at a mosque.
In the bottom left corner of the video is the date and time the video was taken.
"Please look at the bottom left corner of the video, where there is a date that shows when the video was taken. That was seven months ago. And all you know is that Bella and I got married two months later."
The video finally stopped. Rayhan then continued speaking.
"I give you the opportunity to ask in two sessions. The first session I asked for three people, as well as the second session. Please." continued Rayhan.
Then at the first session three journalists asked questions answered by Mr. Rahmat, and Mr. Roy and Mr. Dimas. The second session continued. A reporter stood up and asked Izzah a question.
"Will Izzah report the people who made this fake news and the people who bullied Izzah?"
"Bismillah." said Izzah. "God willing, I will not prolong this matter. I have accepted everything. Let's just say all the bullyan and scorn people can reduce the sins I've ever committed. Most importantly now everything has been proven that I am not what people expect me to be" Izzah said calmly.
Rayhan smiled looking at Izzah. His hand is getting tighter.
A second question was asked by a journalist.
"If you love each other, why did you marry Sirri. Then why can Izzah allow Rayhan sir to remarry Bella?"
This time it was Rayhan who answered the question out loud.
"I forced Izzah to get married because I love him so much" Rayhan said.
Izzah frowned.
"Sorry what Rayhan said was a lie" said Izzah who suddenly made everyone shocked including Rayhan.
Rayhan looked at Izzah meaningfully.
"I don't want everything to be a problem again if you know the truth" Izzah said. "Sometimes the truth is painful." continued Izzah.
Rayhan shook his head, a sign that Izzah was not telling him everything. Izzah just smiled.
"Actually our marriage was due to compulsion. But the reason was not what Rayhan said. To be honest, our meeting was not intentional. Rayhan saved me from human trafficking. Maybe out of pity, Rayhan decided to marry me." said Izzah who made people look on him with pity.
"It's not like that" Rayhan said. "I married Izzah because I fell in love with him at first sight. I can't help myself marrying her even though it's married sirri. Because at that time I was still too afraid of my mother." explained Rayhan as he looked at the net Izzah who had begun to water.
"Remarkably, in front of everyone now my brother admits that since the first meeting with Izzah, my brother has fallen in love with Izzah" said Rayhan by staring at Izzah while wiping Izzah's tears.
That moment really became a photo object for journalists.
