The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 34-

The news of Gio in detention was already crowded on social media even in news broadcasts. However, Gio revealed a shocking confession. If he's not entirely guilty and just following orders. 

That confession now makes many cyberspace. Many people are curious who told him to, and there are also those who consider it a lie some of them do not believe Gio's words. 

However, CCTV evidence again proves. When a man gives her an envelope of money. Gio's parents also intervened, not accepting if only his son was blamed. For now they were all looking for the person who was with Gio, back then. 

"Damn! Why is it like this" said a man who grumbled and cursed himself. 

The man immediately took his phone, in connection with one contact listed on the phone screen. 

"You know the news? Why is it like this?" 

" …. " 

"Now you go far away. Remember not to let the police find you understand!" 

The phone connection ended. The man was very upset and angry, probably afraid if he was arrested. 

"Dad!" a woman's call surprised him. It looks like that woman is his daughter. 

"Why don't you knock on the door first?" that man's scab.

"So Asthma knocked on the door and called Dad. Because there's no Asma command, open the door to Dad's room." 

"What's wrong?" With a sigh the man asked. 

"Mother call, we have dinner." 

"Yes, I'll be out. O yes, Asthma where's your phone?" Suddenly the man asked his daughter's phone. 

"What's Dad for?" 

"Don't ask too many questions. Give it to Daddy." Forcibly the man took Astma's cell phone and threw it. 

"Dad! Why did you throw my phone?" 

"Let's give me another new one." Said Anshor, who felt innocent and left his room. 

Asma stared sadly at the phone that had just been thrown by her father. Asthma doesn't understand what happened to her father. 

Not only Asthma, Anshor also damaged his wife's cell phone. Jaenab was very surprised also upset at the behavior of her husband, suddenly just throw the phone.Not only that, Anshor also forbade them to watch TV, maybe Anshor was afraid if they saw the news about Gio. 

Though Gio did not say his name, but his fear was very different. 

"Mas! What's wrong with you? Is it my fault why you're ruining all my belongings." 

"Don't ask too many questions I'll buy you a new one." 

"Stay Dad, we need an explanation. Why damage my phone without a clear reason?" Asthma, walking while carrying her broken phone. 

"Daddy told me not to ask too many questions!" 

Geck, tok, tok.

The sound of knocking on the door shocked them all. Moreover, Anshor was getting more and more frightened. 

Asthma will step in to open the door. However, Anshor prevented. "Don't open it." 

"What the hell is Dad." Asma immediately brushed off her strangled hand. Anshor could do nothing as his daughter opened the door. 

It's not that door. Asthma looked in surprise at the two men in uniform in front of her who were blocking one man without a uniform. Asma knew very well that the uniform was very well known and feared by the community. 

"Is this really Anshor's father's house?" ask a policeman.

"Yes right. What's up, sir?" 

"We were ordered to arrest Mr. Anshor." 

Asma was shocked to hear that her father would be arrested by the police. But what's wrong with Astma's father, so confused.

"What's my father's fault, sir?"

Without answering Astma's question, the two policemen barged into her house. Anshor who saw immediately. He wanted to leave but couldn't because his man's son was with the police.

"Really! He's your boss."

"I-yes sir." 

Asma and Jaenab repelled the departure of her father and husband. But no one can hold back the police officers. They also just resigned and stared sadly Anshor's departure. 

"Dad's Mom?" 

"We'll catch up with your dad soon." Jaenab hugged Asma.

**** 

Eve, feeling happy because her mother has improved. I can even joke with him. Yusuf has also explained about the slander even they already know if Gio is in prison. 

And now they ask Eve to return to the boarding house. However, Eve did not give an answer. It hurt her because no one believed it. 

"Laughter, don't get revenge like that. They also don't know that it's not true. And they were affected, but now it's all done. The truth is revealed." 

"What the hell is Ma, if Eve lives at home. I promise I won't be naughty anymore. And Eve will not take off this hijab." 

Marwah just smiled.

"Look, as Muslims we not only close the aurat, but need knowledge and continue to learn to be better. A teacher or ustadz who they consider to be smart, always giving advice, upbringing for his students. And all the knowledge they convey is none other than their learning results. Besides, you're still in school soon to graduate, if you're home, what do you want?" 

"Yes I can help Mama, now 'Mama is sick I can help Mama clean up, cook, if for school can be in a normal place." 

"Are you sure you can cook?" 

"Can dong Ma. Eve ever helped Ummi cook." 

"really? Thank God your son now wants to learn to cook. But when Mama told you never to." 

"That's Ma first. Before Eve entered the pesantren." 

"Well, this is what Mama likes, in the cabin you can do what you don't. You are better, obedient, anyway you become more righteous. Back to the cottage, huh?" 

Eve breathed her rough. His mother wanted him to go back to the school. Marwah smiled at the look on her daughter's upset face. 

Not long after Joseph entered his mother's room, it seemed to have answered the phone.

"Have you called Suf? From ready?" 

"From Kiyai Abdullah." Marwah was surprised also happy to hear the name but not with Eve who put on a jutek face.

"What did he say?" 

"They apologized for yesterday's trouble for asking Eve to come home. God willing they will come to the house after Kiyai's condition improves." 

"What happened to Kiyai?" 

"Kiyai Abdullah was sick to Ma, being shocked by yesterday's problems." 

"Oh Allah, Joseph apologized to them. If the photo hadn't been circulated it probably wouldn't have been like this." 

"Mama! Why is Mama apologizing?" Eve was emotionally disturbed. He does not accept if his mother apologizes because for him his family is not wrong.

 But not for Marwah, because the photo makes slander spread.

"Even if you don't go to that caffe, and meet with Gio, maybe it won't happen. Now you think we're not wrong?" 

Eve was silent.

"Here you go, Eve went to the cafeteria to buy food for you, too" Joseph said. 

Eve went to the canteen. Joseph sat directly in front of Marwah, on the bench that had Hawaii sitting. 

"What's Suf? Why ask Eve out. Mama still wants to talk to him." 

"Already Ma. This is something more important that Joseph wants to say." 

"What?"
