The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 20 - Tabayyun

Rumors of Eve's news have been spread. A santri is also a man who does not escape sin, even they can make mistakes. 

Because Eve's treatment of Joseph yesterday caused slander among the huts. Naturally, they misunderstood, because they did not know that Joseph was Eve's brother. 

Eve embraced Joseph's body. Anyone who sees it will misunderstand. 

"Assalamualaikum Mr. Kiyai." 

Ustadzah lili ran into Kiyai's house. Everyone in the house turned to look at him. The Marwan family. 

"Walaikumsalam," they answered in unison. Kiyai asked what was going on? However, Ustadzah Lili seemed hesitant to say about the problem that occurred because there was Eve also Joseph. 

"Ustadzah what's up?" tanya Ummi who had been waiting for the answer Ustadzah Lili. 

"Sorry interfering. There's something I want to say to Ummi" said Ustadzah Lili. 

Ummi glanced at Kiyai for a moment, then got up from his seat flat on everyone to talk to Lili's uatadzah. 

They're heading for a room. Ustadzah Lili began to say, explaining to Ummi the problem that was happening in his cottage at this time. 

Of course Ummi was very surprised, the problem must be straightened out so that there is no more widespread slander that will tarnish the good name of the pesantrennya. 

"Astagfirullah, why they can decide one thing without any explanation it could be Slanderous." 

"That's the problem Ummi, I don't know who spread the word either." 

"This needs to be straightened out immediately. Wait here I call Mr. Kiyai first." 

Ummi stepped out of the room. Ustadzah Lili waited anxiously in fear, if this news spread to the community. What are their views later on this boarding school. 

Ummi sat down beside Kiyai, then whispered after that stepping away. Kiyai got up from her seat, saying goodbye to all the guests permission to leave for a while because there was something to be done. 

After Kiyai pampit went to meet Ummi and Ustadzah Lili. While Marwan, Marwah, Eve, Joseph and Adam they looked at each other, wondering what was the problem with Mr. Kiyai. 

"What's this about? What's the problem?" kiyai asked the Ustadzah of Lili. 

Ustadzah Lili also explained, Kiyai was quite shocked but remained calm. 

"Ustadzah call all the santri to gather in the hall. I'll talk about this first with Mr. Marwan's family, and we'll go to the hall together." 

"Good sir Kiyai. Excuse me." 

Ustadzah Lili left. Kiyai and his wife headed straight for the main room, the room where the Marwan family had gathered. 

Slowly and carefully Kiyai tells Marwan about the slander spread in the cottage area. 

Eve the person who least accepts and sewot. Feeling all his friends spreading things that are not right. With emotion Eve will go to meet her friends. But was arrested by Joseph. 

"Where are you going?" 

"Yes, let's explain everything, brother." 

"Going with emotions like this? Already, we'll go together and explain it together." 

Eve still looks upset. They all stepped together towards the hall. 

*****

In a large room the students had gathered. The atmosphere started to boisterous as Kiyai started to enter the hall. 

Not a few of them were wondering what all the santri on the order were gathered inside the hall. 

Especially when he saw Eve and Joseph the atmosphere in the hall was getting boisterous. 

"Please calm! Everyone calm down, allow Mr. Kiyai to talk." Says an Ustad calms his students. Then they fell silent.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh." 

"Walaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." 

Simultaneously the santri answered the greetings of their master teacher. 

"I heard there was bad news in this cabin. It's not certain if it's true or not. And the news was heard straight into my ears, I as the leader of the cottage was very sad to hear that my students believed in slander, something that is not necessarily true, but you spread it." 

No one spoke, they all looked down and were silent. 

"Tabayunis. Do you know about the tabayyun? Check first, find the truth first before you spread the news that is not necessarily true because it will be slander. And ... as it is now slander has spread. There was a santri who with his message embraced, kissed a man who was not a mahrom. Do you know what the guy you're talking about looks like?" 

Someone shakes, there are also those who nod. Some of them know that some don't. That means there are some of them who just respond and come to talk without knowing the problem. 

Kiyai asked Eve and Joseph to come closer, standing beside her. Then introduce to the students about who they are. 

"Eve Aqila Putri and Yusuf Baskara Putra, two men whom you slander. They were siblings who had not seen each other for a long time. So it's only natural that if they vent their longing, like Eve hugging her sister, it's natural because they're one blood not a man who's not a mahrom." 

"Whoever first spreads this slander you have indeed sinned to slander your friend." 

All santri looked down. Kiyai asks them to apologize to Eve and Joseph. 

After the problem was cleared Kiyai got news, there were people who told him about santri who first spread the rumor. 

Kiyai ordered an Ustadz to call him to come see him.  

*****

Tok, tock, tock, tock, 

"Assalamualaik." 

"Getishalight." 

A santriwati entered Kiyai's room. The ones where there are already Kiyai, the Ustadz and the Ustadzah. Santriwati was confused because she was the only one who was ordered to face Kiyai.

"Sit down" Kiyai ordered. 

The woman sat in the middle of them. 

"Achiefs!" call Kiyai. 

Aminah was Eve's roommate, and one who did not like Eve. He saw Eve and Joseph hugging in the garden. 

His hatred for Eve made Minah spread what she had

Looky. Hoping to be a material teasing and legalized by the Ustadz, if necessary removed from the cottage.

It was because Minah was still upset when Asma left the cottage. 

"Who taught you that? You see what the impact is? Not only Eve but this boarding school will also be affected. What's your purpose Minah?"

"Sorry Mr. Kiyai." That's all Minah said.

"Tabayyun first, first check the information you know. Do not spread it. You understand now, right?. Slander is more cruel than murder." 

"Yes Pak Kiyai. " 

"Yes, you can go, don't repeat. And as punishment you must apologize for your wrongdoing in front of all the students. Are you ready to take responsibility for your mistakes?" 

"Each Mr. Kiyai, Minah will no longer repeat it." 

"Alhamdulillah" said all the Ustadz and Ustadzah in unison.
