Rama drives his bike at a moderate speed. Even in precarious circumstances, he still put safety first.
Agam's words completely changed his mindset, which from the beginning he intended to distance himself from Karin so that the girl more time to calm down turned out to be a big mistake.
If in one week this problem is not finished and he just continues to keep his distance, of course he can no longer teach on campus.
Now he knows that Karin is the victim because of his careless mistakes when Karin is really in trouble and can't deal with it alone. As a husband he should be able to understand better instead of running away even though their relationship is not too far away, but a sacred mahligai is enough just once for him.
And if anything happens to Karin, the one to blame is herself. And that will bring regret also himself who is unable to maintain and accompany the wife when facing problems, moreover this problem arises also because of his mistakes that acted rashly from the beginning.
Because his fear of past trauma made him take rash decisions back then. Karin is here as a victim, not him.
Arriving at the house of in-laws, Rama passed by his brother-in-law Arkan who had just returned from following the study. Rama keeps his motorcycle in the garage side by side with other vehicles.
"Newly arrived? Come on in" take Arkan friendly.
"Yes bang, sorry Brother was not hunting the road right when I called to go home?" ask Rama
"Oh no, it just so happens that you call say just get ready, abis there is a call for Mr. Ustadz to take part in the study at the mosque" Arkan replied.
"Oh, thank God, Naira must have slept" he muttered, looking at the clock in his right hand.
"Naira sleeps from maghrib, from a fussy afternoon continues to fit me straight to sleep, now sleep same mami, it's ten o'clock, you want to sleep where?" ask Arkan
"Huh?" Rama was shocked to find his brother-in-law asking where he was going to sleep.
"Here sit down first, we talk, people have all slept, it's not good if our voices disturb them" said Arkan sitting on the porch sofa.
Rama complied and put his backpack under his feet. Helmets he keeps on the shelf while the jacket remains he wears because the air feels cold.
"Ram, I'm sorry if I'm too presumptuous, sorry yes, are you guys having a fight or are you having a problem?" ask Arkan while confirming his seat.
Rama had expected that this would be asked of him. Rama knew as a brother would never accept if the sister was hurt by her husband. Rama knows that. And that's why Rama was in a hurry to leave. lest it was precisely his inertia and his attitude away actually became a Boomerang for him.
"Yes bang, what's Karin's story?" rama asked, igniting a cigarette. " I'm sorry I smoked, my mind is really messed up" he continued.
"My cigarette is also a smoker, but it is insyaf hehe" said Rama.
"Actually this problem was initially not too I took a headache, but I also do not know where the source of the slander happened even until Karin was in a very immoral slander, which is not very moral, at the beginning I thought all was well even though Karin had to date kept a distance with me bang," said Rama began the story.
"Trus what's the point problem? What kind of defamation are you guys dealing with?" ask Rama
"It all started when Karin was in the hospital, and at that time I was guarding Karin who was asleep, because mommy came out, apparently mami brought classmates Karin wanted to visit, and then I was looking, that's where the beginning, you can ask mami when Karin's friend came to the hospital". Answer Rama.
"What kind of slander is Karin accused of?" ask Arkan.
"Abang can read messages from my friends on campus, there are all the core of his problems, and now is being investigated by the police" said Rama thrust his cellphone into Arkan.
Arkan grabs Rama's cell phone and begins to read one by one the contents of a message from Agam that shows Rama.
"Does Jihan her son wear a big headscarf?" ask Arkan after he finished reading the contents of the message on Rama's phone.
"Know, he's my friend's sister in college, his parents had a cloth and convection business, but later his business went bankrupt because some of his assets were taken away by his son-in-law whose work was just drunk" Arkan explained.
"Abang knows her family well?" ask Rama
"Not really, with her brother Jihan is also just a college friend who is not very familiar" Arkan replied.
"If you can be honest yes ram, I had time to come to Polrestabes to meet my cousin's brother who is on duty there, maybe you know Mr Supri?" ask Arkan.
"Not knowing the bang, what's wrong?"
"Last noon, to be honest, I got a call from the Pri mas, if there was a report on Karin's mistreatment charges, but I didn't dare to ask Karin because she didn't come home all day, his dead cell phone can not be contacted, go home in the afternoon but do not want to go out of the room even though just eating." explained Arkan made Rama surprised.
"So you already know?"ask Rama
"Yes, I know, but I chose to be quiet because when I came there this afternoon there were three male friends of Karin claimed to be witnesses and they even begged Karin not to know about this problem, and they sacrificed themselves in prison to help Karin, so great is my brother ram haha" said Rama laughed softly.
"So, what should I do? what about Jihan's parents?" ask Rama
"Tomorrow we go there together, we finish it in a family, actually three friends of Karin had already confessed who is the mastermind behind the slander that tarnishes your name and Karin" Arkan said.
"Do the people inside already know bang?" ask Rama
"Nobody knows, because I've asked Pri not to talk to my mom and the others" Arkan replied.
"Thank God" said Rama breathing a sigh of relief.
"Actually you can demand back if you want ram, but it seems better to be completed in a family course, because the suspect is still in college" Arkan proposed.
"Honestly bang, at first I ignored the slanted news that I heard from friends seprofesi, at that time I did not think about how about Karin, Karin, because from the beginning Karin kept her distance from me bang" said Rama honestly.
"Have you and Karin not been ...... Em...that's.." Arkan's speech stammered because it felt bad to offend his sister-in-law's personal problems.
"I understand what you mean, I haven't touched her at all until Karin can truly accept my inner birth, she said, I knew from the beginning I was wrong to force Karin into my life bang" said Rama lowered his head.
"You're not wrong, it's the path of fate, if only that night you were desperate to go home, we could have died at the hands of the old thug and you would have been caught in his trap, and had it not been for him at that time, Mr. Ustadz had called me, we will not be at this point, but all that has been arranged by the owner of the ram life, already the path of destiny" Arkan said
"Right bang, but melt the heart of brother Abang also need a struggle" said Rama laughed softly
"Do you like her?" guess Arkan
"Who is not amazed by Karin, a strong and independent woman, but spoiled, martial arts, he said, even my rival on campus is not just a student but many young lecturers who have been eyeing Karin since the beginning he enrolled in campus and I only knew about it after Karin I married bang" said Rama
"Sunday is indeed from a small liked many people ram, but yes he judges for mercy, so no man dares to decetin him" said Rama.
"Yes bang I admit that, since the beginning I met Karin, it was already interested but yes not until the ambition to get him, just wishful thinking every night prayer" said Rama.
"Oh yeah??"
" Yes bang"
