The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 30 - Slander

Umm Khodijah and Kiyai Abdullah looked at their son. Adam said he wanted to say something, but for 30 minutes they sat down, there was not a word Adam said. It makes both parents confused.

"Adam, Ummi said you have something to say about what?" kiyai asked, Adam was still silent, linking his fingers.

"Yes Adam. Are you having any problems? Say it," added Ummi.

Adam looked at his parents for a moment. Then said,

"Look at Ummi, Aby. Actually ... something was troubling Adam's mind all along. Someone proposed to me for his sister."

"Applying?" Ummi and Kiyai are shocked. For a second their lips curved up perfectly.

"Who's Adam? Who proposed to you for his sister?" Umm Khodijah looks happy.

"Do we know his family?" ask Kiyai.

"Yes Aby. You know his family very well and that woman is a santri here."

"Who's Santri here? Then what's your response Adam?" asked Ummi who was so enthusiastic to know.

Adam looked at his parents in turn. Doubtful, if the results are wrong. And afraid if Ummi and her Aby do not agree because they know what kind of woman will be his daughter-in-law.

"Who Adam said Ummi wanted to know."

"The woman …."

"Assalamualaikum Mr. Kiyai."

Just now Adam wanted to say suddenly the voice of Ustadzah Lili calling made Adam's speech stop.

"Vaalaikumsalam. What's up Ustadzah?" Ummi and Kiyai immediately got up from his seat, walking towards Ustadzah Lili.

"Santri fell to Ummi."

"Come down where?"

"Fall from the Ummi tree."

They all immediately stepped out to see who the fallen santri was. They do not think for what reason to go up into the tree.

"Astaghfirullah," they said in unison. What else is Adam who is embarrassed to see his behavior. Until he closed his face.

"Laughter!"

Santri is Eve, lucky Adam has not said what the woman's name is. How would his parents respond if his future wife was like this. One of the naughty santri, and the bar-bar.

"Oh Allah, it seems that I must repeat my idol" murmured Adam.

Ummi and Ustadzah Lili developed Eve who had been surrounded by other santriwati. Eve held her back which hurt from being hit.

"What are you doing on the tree hm …? Want to run away again?"

"Who would escape suudzon alone Ummi."

"Look at Ummi." Aisha explained her chronology.

Eve was walking with her three friends. The weather is so hot this afternoon. They sat for a while under a very thick tree.

Until when Eve looked up, really tempted Eve when she saw the red guava up there. Eve also offered to her friends to eat rujak.

"You want to eat rujak? It's hot, it's delicious."

"Yes Wa, but what is Wa?"

"In the cafeteria there is no rujak."

"High above" pointed Eve up the guava tree.

"I mean this guava? We have to ask Kiyai for permission first. How about taking it too high."

"This tree will be in the pesantren means that ours is not only Kiyai's. If it's a climbing problem I'm an expert, just calm down. You just wait here and catch the guava I picked."

"But Wa."

However, her name is also Eve who always relies on various ways. Either slipping or stepping wrong so that Eve fell from the tree.

"Laughter!" Ummi looks upset. "Ustadzah please take Eve to the clinic afraid someone might get hurt.

Ustadzah Lili also took Eve away with her friends. Adam stared at Eve's departure.

"There is this Eve," said Ummi.

"Adam what did you say? Who's that woman is there between them?" Ummi was curious. But Adam hesitated to say.

"Hm …."

"Assalamualaikum Mr Kiyai?" call a Ustadz to make Adam's speech come to a standstill.

"Getishalight."

"What is Ustadz Soleh?" asked Kiyai, Ustadz Soleh's face was so agitated.

"There's no good news Kiyai."

"meaning? Bad news how?" Adam and Ummi looked at each other.

They immediately stepped into the office. I don't know what the problem is that makes Soleh nervous.

"There's someone defaming the pesantren. On the internet, even this problem is already known by the public."

"Let me see."

Adam immediately took out Soleh's cell phone. His eyes widened when he saw a photo in the phone. A photo of a woman who was held by a man in a cafe.

Even the woman was embraced by the man. In the post it says SANTRI MASKED.

'The Shar'i shirt, the long khimar, is just a mask to cover up his ugliness. They preach to others, not to touch, look, even shake hands. But in fact today I saw a santri who made out, in a caffe with a young man. I know very well the woman is a santri from the An-nur boarding school.'

Adam's hand clenched tightly. After reading that post. I don't know who spread that slander. Adam is not only angry because his boarding school is slandered, but.

Could Adam be burning with jealousy? Because his future wife has been touched by another man.

"Adam Aby wants to see" said Kiyai. But Adam did not give it.

"Aby and Ummi can't. This is so embarrassing. There is someone who wants to destroy our cottage especially the honor of Aby. But Aby and Ummi don't worry about Adam getting this done."

"Adam explains what slander? What's the matter again?"

Adam did not want Aby and Umminya to be sick just because of the slander. Adam hopes no one will tell his parents about the slander.

Adam asks Aby and his Ummi to return home. Adam remained in the office to find out where the news came from. Even everyone quickly shares posts that are not necessarily true.

The post had even spread throughout the city, until Joseph and Asma knew the photo.

"Laughter! This isn't Eve?" said Asma, who saw the photo from her phone.

"really embarrassing. He's already tarnished the good name of An-nur's pesantren. I have to tell Mas Adam" he said.

Asthma still cares about Adam, even his feelings are still for Adam.

Joseph stared flat at his phone, there was anger and disappointment when he saw the post. Portrait of his brother made slander by irresponsible people.

And Joseph was getting more agitated, what if Adam saw this that would change his mind to marry Eve.

"It can't be allowed to."

Joseph immediately contacted his friend who could have snapped the post. And Joseph also asked his friend for help to track down who made the news, spreading it which had made his brother a scapegoat.

After contacting his friend Joseph immediately contacted Adam, fearing that Adam would be affected by the slander. But Adam did not answer his phone.

"I have to come see him. I have to protect my sister."

Joseph immediately grabbed the keys to the car and the tuxedo that was stored on the table. In that instant Joseph left his office.
