Chapter 101

Alvan, who finished lunch with Mario, is now grim. He was furious when he found out there were bad rumors about Aulia. He also gathered all the office employees in a very large hall room. Usually they are there when holding meetings with all employees ranging from cleaning service to the main director, to discuss the progress of the company. However, the current Alvan gathering them was not for that.

"Our tumbens are gathered in this room. Will there be a pay raise?" whispered one of the employees to his partner.

"Yes, hopefully. Because what I heard, the cooperation with a foreign company was successful," said another.

Many employees are happy to hear this news. They really hope that this meeting will also be a raise or at least will get a bonus.

So did Amelia and her friends. They hope there will be an announcement that makes them happy. In an instant they forgot about the incident that happened on the roof of the building earlier.

Alvan and Papi Kenzo came into the room and were followed by Mario and Janu— assistant Papi Kenzo. They stood in front of all the employees.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Papi Kenzo started the meeting.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," replied the people who were there.

"I gathered you all here to talk about something very important. It's about the lopsided news of the future daughter-in-law of the Miyazaki family," Papi Kenzo said, making the faces of people there mostly suddenly pale.

They just realized that the writing in the company's group message will be held accountable now. Regrets are always present in the past. That's what they're feeling right now. Without knowing the truth, with confidence they write as good as their own udel.

The spacious and air-conditioned room suddenly felt cramped by people who did not have adab. They were terrified considering the threat that Yukari had just said. It may be subject to defamation.

"I should have received a report that many rumors are not true in the company office. Our hacker team has managed to browse accounts belonging to people who have spread slander against Aulia. I myself was very angry when I read some of your messages in the group chat. Moreover, chat groups belonging to the marketing and financial division that have been very outrageous, its contents. Meanwhile, from the goods production division there are some people who have participated in spreading the slander, even they insist when telling as if the news is true," papi Kenzo said making the people there shrivel even more.

"I hired you not to gossip let alone spread slander. So, those people will get sanctions" added the man of Japanese blood.

After Papi Kenzo finished speaking, it was Alvan's turn to let out his anger. This mixed Indonesian-Japanese man stands gallantly in front of all office employees.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," Alvan greeted and answered by everyone present there.

"I as the future husband of Aulia felt hurt when I learned there was slander spread here. I myself feel very ashamed of Aulia. Maybe you all don't, how I fought so hard to melt her heart. I emphasize here once again, that I am the one who pursues Aulia's love. You guys don't think I got her easily. Almost five years I expected him to be my life companion," I'm Alvan honestly and it made many people surprised by this fact.

"Don't you guys, I'm sure Aulia herself doesn't know that I've been harboring feelings for her all that time" Alvan added.

Those people are now even curious about the love story of their superiors. In their hearts they hoped that Alvan would tell his story with Aulia.

"What you wrote in the chat is not true. Aulia is a good woman who always takes care of herself. He also does not like to show the beauty of his face and the beauty of his body to others. I'm just like you guys never saw his face, until yesterday when I was preaching him. I wanted to laugh while reading the message insulting Aulia's face. Has he ever seen Aulia's face? I'm sure he's never seen his face before" Alvan continued with a slanted smile.

"Next Mario will call the names of people who will get sanctions from the company," added the couple's son Papi Kenzo and Mami Siska.

Aulia had no desire to help them in their defense. He did this, so that those people would be deterred and would not repeat it again.

"Your mouth is your day" that's what they deserve. Those people are wretched because of their own talk. This is something that is often considered trivial, but has a great disaster. Both for himself and others.

Amelia felt very ashamed after knowing the truth. Then, he came to Aulia in Alvan's room. The girl timidly stood in front of Alvan's future wife.

"Aulia, I'm sorry. Even just believe the news circulating in the group chat," said Amelia while bowing her head.

Aulia stood up and invited Amelia to sit on the sofa. They are sitting next to each other now.

"I've forgiven you. The development of capable technology allows humans to access and provide enough information from the grasp only. However, one thing that is more important than just the ease of obtaining and providing information, namely the truth and accuracy of the information. Many people who when receiving information from chat groups or social media, without checking and finding out the truth first." Aulia took her breath for a moment. 

"They directly share the information, so that the information that is not necessarily the truth has been shared with many people. In the end, the information is incorrect and the readers have been consumed with invalid issues. Evidence of most people eating irrelevant issues is proven from surveys conducted by the communications, that the most widely circulated hoax source is through social media," continued Aulia.

Amelia also confirmed this. He was a victim of this fake news.

"In incorrect language of information, irrelevant to the actual circumstances is called hoax. However, in the Islamic perspective that basically hoaxes have occurred in the time of the Prophet Shallallahu’alaihi Wassalam which when his wife was slandered for adultery by the hypocrites. Because of this incident, the Quranic verse came down to refute it, namely Surat al-Hujurat verse 49

"O you who believe, if a faasiq comes to you with an important message, then obey (look first), lest you place a danger on a people on the basis of ignorance, then you end up regretting your treatment."

"Community's habit of talking about a topic/other people (ghibah) is also the biggest cause of hoaks that circulate. Allah subhanahu wata’ala has forbidden the believers not to gossip with each other (ghibah) in the letter [al-Hujurat/49:12] :

"O you who believe, stay away from the majority of the ancients (suspices), because some of the ancients were sinful. And do not look for the ugliness of people and do not gossip with each other. Does any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Of course, you are disgusted by him. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the Receiver of Repentance, the Most Merciful".

"The parade of this hoax issue is also inseparable from the low literacy and reading culture among our society. Islam recommends its people to be careful and always check the information and news received first. In religious language it is called tabayyun.  The Quranic verse that talks about fake news is the letter ” (QS. An-Nour: 11)

“Surely those who brought the false news are of your kind. Do not think that false news is bad for you even it is good for you. Each one of them is recompensed for the sins he committed. And who among those who participated the greatest part in the broadcasting of the hoax was for him a great punishment”.

"In outline it can be concluded that the religion of Islam is very concerned and concerned about this hoax, so it is advisable for people to always check the information or news received first and find out the source of where the information or news comes from," said Aulia ended his explanation.

Amelia hugged Aulia while crying with regret. The girl apologized and thank you for changing.

"Aalvans!" Suddenly, the door of the office was opened by someone.
