"Please calm down, ladies!" Mr. RT and Mr. Lurah tried to quell the commotion. Giany was crying, even now a hiccup. Sadness, disappointment and shame mix into one.
Allan looked at him expressionlessly. He spoke a thousand languages and let all the accusations of the citizens lead to him. His mouth seemed to be tightly locked, not a word of defense was spoken.
Shortly afterward, a religious leader arrived after receiving reports from Pak Lurah and Pak RT. The man over half a century old appeared to be seriously listening to the explanations of some witnesses.
And Allan, as usual, just silently heard accusations after accusations from the citizens. The religious leader then entered a room together with Mr. RT and Mr. Lurah to speak three.
Until a few minutes passed, it appeared that the three men came out.
"Father and mother, after consulting and finding solutions with Mr. Ustad, for this problem we think there is only one way out the best," said Mr. Lurah.
Everyone fell silent, letting Mr. Lurah finish his sentence. .
"If the relationship of Doctor Allan and Bu Giany has gone as far as what some residents say, and there is no refutation of the concerned, then the best solution is that Doctor Allan must marry Bu Giany."
Hearing Mr. Lurah's words made Giany's pair of eyes fully rounded. The young woman was surprised, she did not think that the solution proposed by Mr. Lurah was marriage. Some people whispered to each other again. Different things with Allan who still chose silence.
"But sir, me and Doctor Allan have never done what they are accused of" Giany said with the rest of his courage. His voice was almost trembling without any energy.
"Where there is a thief to confess" said a resident. "If you like each other why not get married. Doctor Allan is a widower, while Bu Giany is a widow. Why commit sins by collecting kebo? The best solution is to get married."
"Yes, Right!" yell some citizens.
Mr. Lurah is now staring at Allan and Giany alternately. "How, Doctor? I think as someone who is responsible, Doctor Allan must understand the religious law and the laws of the local community."
Allan let out a long sigh, although furious with the actions of some citizens who slandered him, but this was an opportunity for him to be able to marry the idol.
"How, Doctor?" ask Mr. Lurah once again when Allan does not answer. He only glanced at Giany who was now wiping away tears.
"Alright, if it has become the best solution from Mr. Lurah and Mr. Ustad, I am ready to marry Giany" Allan said steadily.
Mr. Lurah and Mr. Ustad finally heaved a sigh of relief. And so with some citizens. Of course there was no exception some people who had been paid by Ayra who also seemed surprised to hear the decision. Giany was embarrassed. She has been a widow for almost three months. Getting married this soon was certainly not an option for her.
"But Mr. Ustad, what about iddah Bu Giany's time? Isn't Miss Giany just divorced?" ask a citizen.
Mr. Ustad then explained several things, including the length of the Iddah period for a woman, both for those who divorced alive or divorced dead.

Allan has just arrived home after a long, emotionally draining drama. The endless debate finally found a bright spot that made Allan happy not to be upset. How not, he was urged to immediately marry Giany. And it was certain that the decision made him happy.
"Allan, how? Where is giany?" asked Bu Dini so found Allan home alone without Giany.
"Huh yeah?" Bu Dini's eyes glared sharply. "Why did you leave Giany there? What's going on?" Early Mom's question seemed to demand to be answered immediately.
Allan then went to the sofa and laid his body there. He caught his breath that felt hunting. "Something seems to incite the citizens, ma'am. They accused me and Giany of adultery. And worse there are some who appear as false witnesses."
Ms. Dini was surprised amazingly, visible from the expression of her face. "But you're not going to shut up, are you? You defended Giany's honor, right?"
"Bu .. free against dozens of citizens who have been accused. Let them do as they please. Some of the slander finally brought blessings for me and Giany" he said with a happy smile.
"You mean?"
"I'm being charged with marrying Giany!" allan answered briefly, with happy sparkling eyes.
Mom is still between believe and don't. "What's? You're being charged with marrying Giany?"
"Yes, Mom!" the answer. "Congratulations, Mom! Just shut up."
Bu Dini finally published her happy smile. Although the way that was taken was quite extreme for him, but for the sake of Allan and Maysha, he would support anything. It seems like the mission of seizing people's wives and daughters-in-law will be a great success this time around.
"Congratulations, Allan. Finally you will be married to Giany, too" he said, hugging. "Even if the method is extreme."
"Yes, Mom. But it's okay. The sooner the better, the hunt the man took. Hehe ... Maysha must be really happy too."
"So when did you and Giany get married?"
"Said Mr. Ustad, Giany still has the rest of Iddah for one week. So while waiting for his Idaho period to be over, he will stay at Mr. Ustad Somad's house for a while."
Suddenly the face of Bu Dini became gloomy when thinking about the fate of Giany. He knew Giany did not and Merta could accept the decision.
"But how did Giany react, Lan?"
"It was a shock at first, Mom. But after being explained he began to understand and accept."
Mom took a deep breath. "Poor Giany. But this is best so that there will be no more slander among you. And again, by marrying Giany you can protect her from her ex-husband."
Allan nodded.
"Oh yes ... Allan, about who slandered you and Giany? You're under suspicion, aren't you?"
"If now the charge is only Desta or Ayra. But just for a while, ma'am. In part if it is found out everything is just slander, it can be nullified," said Allan made a small laugh heard between the two.
"You can do it, Lan!"
