Ddddrrrrtt Drrrttt
The call from Yahya filled the screen. Hana who was living the chant of al-Qur’an reading that came out of the husband's mouth immediately checked the phone nearby.
“Mas, Ustadz Yahya calling”
Haris turned his head after finishing the verse up to the sign of waqaf (the stop sign). He closed al-Qur’an by supporting the sheet using two fingers of his hand.
“Assalamu’alaikum Gus, I and Iqlima are in front of your room. Come outside! Abah asks us to go back to the meeting room”
“Good Mas. A minute!”
Tiiit
Yahya disconnects the phone. This man glanced at his wife with a critical look. He had secretly sent a message to bring Iqlima back and, because he would talk about legal cases. Iqlima is an Advocate.
“Why is mas looking at me like that?” Iqlima glanced towards his clothes. Is something wrong? Because the other day Yahya once criticized about his veil.
“No. I just wanted to look at you. I want to linger staring. That's it” Sahut Yahya diplomatic. Suddenly Iqlima felt his heart beat faster. But she was not confident enough in the words her husband had uttered.
Still in the room, Haris completely closed his mushaf.
“Darling, are you feeling better now?” Tanya Haris rubbed Hana's cheek gently. The shade of his wife's eyes made him feel calm.
“I should have calmed the mas. It's instead of”
Haris smiled bitterly at the words of his wife. He took Hana's hand and gently kissed her.
“Thank you for standing by me faithfully in these bad days. I'm facing Abah first, hm? ” Haris angkit without waiting for an answer from Hana.
“Mas..”.
“Ya?” Haris.
“The days we have to go through are not always fun. I can't promise to fix all the problems, but I can promise that I won't have to face it myself” said Hana still with teary eyes.
Haris turned around. He came back closer and kissed the head of the loving wife before finally stepping out. Not to forget this young man pinned a smile there.
“Gus, I want us to talk for a moment before meeting abah! Sorry, I was too embarrassed to be able to deal with you like this after the video recording and Ummi's involvement. But I have no other choice” Ustadz Yahya said in a soft-sounding voice. The energy itself is drained of revealed facts.
“I strong mas. Yahya need not worry. This all also has nothing to do with mas” said Haris showed a little smile. Tasteless.
This young man followed his adoptive brother's steps into the study. Yahya invites Haris to take his place. They sit facing each other. While Iqlima pulled over sitting in the corner playing his cellphone.
“Gus Haris... Actually.” Yahya started telling me what happened in the meeting room since Haris left the room. Yahya wanted to make it clear that his Ummi was not involved in the murder of the late Hasbi. Yahya felt he had to say this before facing abah in order for all the light and no misunderstandings.
Let the affairs of the abah and his ummi household be the business of both of them. Yahya loved his mother very much. No matter how bad the mother did, she was still her mother. Mother who gave birth to him.
“What? Lovely Ma'am? Arini's mother?!” Haris was really surprised to hear that. A new reality that is hard to believe.
“Ummi is unlikely to lie. Ummi has been sworn to use the holy book al-Qur’an. You just need to investigate this case, Gus!” Yahya.

In the meeting room. Haji Zakaria stared fixedly at the wife who had a swollen face.
“Good. Abah's tired. Now please answer Abah's question... Ummi has sworn an oath using the Quran. Of course you will answer your questions honestly" said Haji Zakaria prepared to ask questions. Hajjah Aisyah who was crying approached the husband.
"First question: Who was Ummi's lover?
"Second question: When your affair was going on, did Ummi and the man ever have intercourse?”
"The third question: Is Yahya really our son? Abah's real son? " Hajjah Aisyah spontaneously gulped. A very unexpected question.
End your history Aisha! Bu Hajjah closed his eyes. His heart beats with each other. The beats are so tight. The central organ pumps faster than usual.
“U... Ummi.. Ummi” Hajjah Aisyah. His face turned pale.
“Please answer Yes Aisyah Humaira!” Hajj Zakaria's word boomed. His patience is thin.
“Ka.. If after Ummi says all this, can you promise not to divorce Ummi?” Tanya Hajjah Aisyah.
Haji Zakaria took another deep breath. His chest cavity feels narrowed.
“What is it about so important for Ummi?! What does Ummi expect from a household that is based on a betrayal?!” Haji Zakaria asked with a smile.
“Listen! Today we are not talking about marriage, divorce or maintaining a household. But we are discussing the Ummi issue. It's all about Ummi. About Ummi Cheating in desecrating this household!!”
“It was the main thing! For the next discussion, you will decide after hearing the full answer!” Haji Zakaria said firmly. Spotlight the injured eye decorating there.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
“Sit All of Ananda!”
“Ananda Haris...” The voice of Hajj Zakaria was heard more and more raucous.
“Alba believes your Ummi is not a killer”
“Iya bah, Haris has listened to everything from Yahya mas on this matter. Haris believes. Haris Sami’tu wa Atha’tu (Haris heard, Haris obedient)” Haris said without asking much. Hajjah Aisyah felt a little relieved.
“Then will you investigate this case son?!”
“Hmh... In the usut is also free bah, this event has been so long gone. Maybe in the end Haris will choose to sincere” Lirih Haris sad.
Honestly, He who has just experienced loss does not have any spirit and passion. Only Hana and her future twins are the focal point for now. It was also with effort that was not easy, with desperate efforts looking tough so as not to overburden Hana's mind. Haris feels he must be responsible for maintaining the mental health of the wife who is pregnant with her child.
“Good. Abah will respect whatever your decision is. But you still think this is all a temporary decision because your wounds have not dried up the cloud of grief is also still enveloping.”.
Haris could only remain silent.
“And you whom Allah has mercy on, there is no misfortune and sorrow on you unless Allah will raise your level. A real man often lives in difficult conditions. This is included in the circumcision. All humans have a test of life according to their level and ability. We can't get away from this all”
“Ananda, the bitter reality is not easy. That's the fact that there is. But you have to move to get rid of those negative feelings. Because yourself is the bark. You are the leader for yourself” Haji Zakaria delivers the message with a language so subtle yet powerful. Haris tried to digest every word that his brother spoke well. How his foster father wanted him not to give up easily.
“Hhhh Alright, let's focus on the problem. Ummi was not involved in the events that caused the loss of your life. But...”
“Ummi knew all these plans but ignored them instead. Moreover, Ummi has clearly known that the owner of the plan is Beautiful!”
Deg.
Hajjah Aisyah and everyone in the room spontaneously looked up. Haris did not think in that direction at all. His head was frozen. Abah Zakaria was very critical and logical.
“Nak Iqlima, what if someone knows of a fatal crime but silences it instead? From an Islamic point of view, this is clearly wrong. Especially regarding the disappearance of His.wa Se.se.o.ra.ng!” Haji Zakaria said with great emphasis. Like refusing to forgive. He kept herding the case to a bright spot.
“Bah, but maybe Ummi did not think in that direction because Ummi thought after he canceled it, then the problem is over.” Cut Ustadz Yahya defend his mother.
“Nak, you do love your Ummi, but don't mix up personal feelings to stand up for something wrong. Even the thorns in the flesh we must remove even though we ourselves will feel the pain. For the sake of kindness, you must endure that pain!”
Yahya.
“Please explain son Iqlima!”
Hajjah Aisyah looked at Iqlima with a face full of threats.
“Hmh... discussion of everyone who knows the intention to commit a criminal offense, this is stipulated in Article 165 of the Criminal Law Book (“KUHP”), the translation is quite long. But Iqlima will talk about it more briefly"
“Whosoever is aware of the intention to commit a crime under articles 104, 106, 107 and 108, 110 – 113, and 115 – 129 and 131 or one of them is premeditated murder, thus referring in chapter VII to the book of law, as long as the crime can endanger the lives of others and there is still time to prevent it. And intentionally not immediately tell it to the justice or police officials or to people who are threatened. If the crime is actually committed, then the person who knows the criminal gets a maximum sentence of nine months in prison"
“So, whether a person who knows of a criminal offense can be punished or not, the answer is punishable, can be punished, if the person does not report to the authorities about the criminal acts that he knows” Bright Iqlima based on his knowledge of legal science.
Iqlima….!!! You son-in-law don't know yourself!!! Watch out!!! Pekik Batin Hajjah Aisyah's.
“How is nak?” Tanya Haji Zakaria jerks Haris daydream.
“Haris will investigate this case bah! Haris will make mom Indah confess her deeds!”
“Nak Haris, son. Don't tell Ummi. Ummi khilaf boy! Don't punish Ummi just because Ummi loves Abah too much!” Hajjah Aisyah pleaded. Haris' tears are flowing. Haji Zakaria could only tightly close both of his eyelids.
“This issue has been so long gone. Haris will release Ummi from the law as a form of gratitude because Ummi was not involved in the killing of Abah.” Haris paused his sentence. He rubbed the tears that flowed just like that without being prevented.
“Haris is relieved that Ummi did not hire a hit man. Haris doesn't know what would happen if that happened. This heart will be broken. No longer in pieces, but broken apart without being able to unite again. Because of the pain inflicted by a close relative, a person who is loved wholeheartedly, is respected, loved more than himself. That's very much sa..kit”
“But... the fact that Ummi knows about the case of premeditated murder, following Ummi's ego and ignoring things ma’ruf makes Haris really into.ce.wa!”
“Though death is part of destiny. At least Ummi empathizes to prevent. As a woman, did Ummi ever think how Umm Fatma went through thousands of lonely nights? Did Ummi ever imagine how the nights passed longingly without knowing how to treat it? At the same time, she had to raise her young son alone. A child who still desperately needs a father figure to grow up. But Ummi casually protects himself hiding behind the guise of love. Ummi did not love Abah. Except loving yourself too much”
"If true Ummi loves abah, should his Ummi imitate the attitude abah. Ummi knew that Abah would not allow evil to happen if he knew it. But Ummi blames it all! What kind of love does Ummi love?! Sorry if ananda sassy. Ananda education is not as high as Ummi. But at least ananda still had a conscience" The words Haris uttered were so striking. Hajjah Aisyah cannot dwell. Like being skinned, he was caught in a sharp gaze full of wrath. Especially the gaze of Haji Zakaria. In silence, the prayer leader said, as if,.
Aisyah, our business is also not finished~
