It's not my fault that your husband is loved
Jelita's Fate...
“Mak, Jelita didn't do it. By Allah, Mother. Jelita did not commit adultery with Heri. Jelita is also confused why Heri suddenly kissed Jelita and Bang Leman also broke off our engagement. Mak, why is this disaster so sudden approaching Jelita? What's wrong Jelita?” Jelita was crying in her mother's arms as she walked towards her boarding house.
“Patience, Child. If you do not do it it means you have been slandered but your closeness with the young man is undeniable to make people who see directly think if you have indeed committed adultery. But we believe that if you don't do it, don't you, sir?”
“Only a fool would believe if they had committed adultery. How can you fornicate with complete clothes in the kitchen anyway. Had you guys been in the room maybe Dad and Mamak would have believed what else after seeing the way you walked.” Said the father who had been watching the movements of Heri and Jelita.
Arriving at the boarding house, Jelita and her family were greeted with a variety of gazes. There are cynics and there are also pity and incredulous gazes with what has happened.
“Ta, are you okay?” Iklima who first came to Jelita and hugged the girl.
“I'm sorry, Ta for not being able to help you.” Said again.
“This is what is called by the saying, because tilapia a speck of broken milk. Because of his actions, we are also affected by it. Now people will think that all residents of this boarding house are the same as him. Male and adulterous suppliers in it.”
“ENOUGH!!! Why do you blame Jelita for what she didn't do? I know Jelita couldn't have done that.” The loudest voice among them made Jelita smile at her best friend.
“Thank you, Ma. But you don't have to defend me like this. It's only natural that they accuse me because what they see does make anyone think so including Bang Leman. Now he has broken off our engagement.” Jelita looked sad and walked to her room.
Jelita's parents help with all Jelita's belongings. “You're still in college right, Ta?” tanya Iklima sat next to Jelita who was looking at a picture of herself with Leman.
“No idea, Ma. Now I just want to go home and calm down. I'll send a letter to campus to take a leave of absence.” Iklima nodded then left Jelita in her room. Iklima went back in and brought a tray of water for Jelita and her parents.
“Diminum first, Dad, Mamak.” Soft talk.
News of the raid of a nursing student with an engineering faculty student began to spread among students of both campuses. Armed with money and insiders, Heri easily left the campus to move to another campus outside the city. As for Jelita, he must be willing to receive a letter from the campus stating if he was expelled from there for reasons of reprehensible deeds and has defiled the campus name.
Jelita roared to read after receiving the letter in her room. Leman's parents who had heard about what happened to Jelita also came to Jelita's house. They are shocked to hear that Jelita has committed adultery behind Leman.
“From now on our family relationship breaks up until here! We do not want to be in touch with your family. Moreover, your children have defamed us. Good thing Leman caught you wet if you don't know what happened. We cannot imagine if Leman should marry a despicable woman like Jelita.”
After being content to berate Maki, the Leman family, especially Leman's mother and brothers, left Jelita's house. Shortly after, the village elder Jelita began to arrive at Jelita's house.
“What is this, gentlemen?” ask Jelita's father.
“We ask that the Father of the family immediately leave this village. We had an argument last night and we firmly rejected Jelita in this village. He has committed adultery and it can make this village have bad luck.”
Both of Jelita's parents finally took a stand by leaving her village. That night they left the village and took Jelita. The residents stared in disdain at Jelita and suddenly a mother-mother made a sound, “See it's blood!”
“Is she pregnant?”
“Why does it smell so rotten like this?” jelita's parents compactly looked at her daughter with a feeling of worry. “Why are you, son?” ask Jelita's mother to panic.
“Jelita is okay, Mom. Just itchy and it looks like Jelita scratched a little strongly until it bled.”
Mothers who heard also spoke again, “Makanya do not itch to be a woman. See the itchy disease that afflicts your goods because of your own itchy work against men. That's the law if you're playing around with a guy who's not your husband.”
Residents were still yelling at Jelita until the girl disappeared breaking the silence of the night. The pick-up car took Jelita and her family to the farthest village from there, namely the grandmother village of Jelita.
“Since when did you start itching there?” ask your mother on the way.
“Maybe it's been about a month if it's not wrong, Mak.” Lirih Jelita's.
“Why never tell the same story Mamak?”
“Jelita does not want to make Mamak anxious. There too Jelita has checked himself to the doctor and the doctor said only bacterial infections and can be cured with drugs that are routine.”
“Let's show your Grandma to be treated with herbs.” Said Jelita's father. That night in the dark and cold of the night, Jelita's fate changed completely. Her ambition to become a nurse was eventually foundered by slander and her engagement to Leman was also foundered by slander and now her family is also driven away due to slander.
“Mak, Dad, sorry Jelita.” He hugged his knees.
“Already. This is a trial for our family and you have to be strong to live it. We'll get through this together.” The mother of Jelita tried to comfort the princess even though her heart was broken to see how everyone treated them.
“Yes Allah yes rahman yes rahim. Give us your justice. Servants do not want their children to be slandered like this. Give your punishment to anyone who has slandered and done evil to our daughter.” Crying, the mother of Jelita made a hopeful plea to the khalik.
“Nak, the prayer of the wronged person will be immediately struck. Believe me, we still have God where we complain about everything. We are not alone.”
“Amin!”
