WRONG MARRIAGE

210.

Today Zalfa felt the need to set aside some of his heart to smile, because his in-laws and sister-in-law had now embraced Islam. And he was also grateful that there were still many people who loved Arkhan even though Arkhan's status was different. It is evident that so many people flatter Arkhan on social media. Photos of the handsome face of Arkhan suddenly viral, and so easily found on social media. Not only photos, the sound of teaching sung by Arkhan also continues to color the virtual world. The talk that mentioned Arkhan's name became a hot topic that was peeled off.

Zalfa was worried, what if netizens knew Arkhan's current position behind the cell? It could be that the netizen's response to Arkhan will turn one hundred and eighty degrees. Various gossip and swearing can be spread and intended for Arkhan.

The news of the arrest of bank hacking that has lately been in an uproar in the news world, of course, will reveal who Arkhan really is. How long will Arkhan's name remain fragrant after the incident?

Zalfa's guess didn't miss. The virtual world is a world that is so easy to disseminate information. And the existence of Arkhan who is now languishing behind the cell was spread, because the name of the initials IAA mentioned in the news about the bank hacker was finally revealed also on social media, becoming a topic. IAA initials, none other than Ibadullah Al Arkhan, none other than the same man as the readers of the Qur’an who are flattered by millions of mankind.

Starting from the fragrant name Arkhan as a convert whose voice is very melodious when reading the Qur’an, with a beautiful rhythm and the right tajwid, the public led opinion about Arkhan who is now behind the cell.

Social media talk about Arkhan. Pros and cons.

Zalfa shut down the phone and turned off the data. He does not want to follow the information. There is enough confusion, not to add to the new rumors.

The arrival of Ishmael who visited the Zalfa residence, at least enough to make Zalfa mersa entertained. His older brother came with Tini. Both seemed very harmonious and happy.

There was a certain happiness in Zalfa's heart seeing the harmony and look of the kasmaran on Tini's face. They are a very compatible couple.

Zalfa never forgot his habit of shaking Ishmael's hand and kissing the back of his brother's hand as a sign of respect for his brother. He also did the same to Tini even though Tini greeted him awkwardly.

They sat facing each other in the living room.

“Zalfa, how are you doing? You're all right, right?” Ishmael showed anxiety.

“Good, Mas. Don't worry about me. Here there is Mama Maria who always pays attention to me,” replied Zalfa.

“I just went to the police station to see Arkhan.”

“Entahlah. Looks good.”

“Means, Mas?”

“He only briefly met me, it seems he suspected that the one who came to see him was you, and he went back in when he found out I was the one who came to see him. Maybe he was less eager to talk to me, because he felt there was nothing to talk about. I just want to make sure that my sister's husband is okay. And I also want to motivate him to keep his faith firm, that's it.”

Breathing out of Zalfa's breathing.

“Zalfa, how were you related to Arkhan after this incident? You still support Arkhan, right?”

Zalfa looked into Ismail's eyes. “Sure, Mas. Whatever happens, I will remain faithful waiting for Arkhan. Even if it's gray, I'll wait here. He's my husband, Mas.”

Ismail was moved to hear Zalfa's confession. “Thank God. I'm just afraid you're backing out and leaving Arkhan.”

“I can't possibly do that. My husband is a convert, and I should be a good example for him. He needs my guidance and support. If I leave her, then I become a bad Muslim woman in her eyes.”

“Do you love her?” Ask Ishmael hesitating.

“Very. I love him so much,” replied Zalfa with tears that did not feel like a river.

“Thank God if you love each other. Currently, the name Arkhan is becoming a byword on social media. You should not back down just because of loud and rude netizens on social media about Arkhan. You are the only person that Arkhan is very much looking forward to. Zalfa, you are patient. Stay strong. Give Arkhan faith to keep his faith firm. Support and motivate him. She needs you.”

“Pasti, Mas.” Zalfa nodded.
