It's not my intention to cheat
The Arak

The relentless chattering of residents along the way as they took Shanti and Farzan to Mr. Lurah's house made other residents lurk from the window curtains. One or two people came out to see what happened. Soon other residents flocked out of their homes.

Now along the way they are watched by residents who want to know what really happened to them even they accompany Shanti and Farzan to the house of Pak Lurah.

Kasak kusuk citizens who assume with their own thoughts make Shanti increasingly feel no more face to look at them, Shame that is very unlikely he can forget his entire life.

No exception to what Farzan felt. But he thought more about how Shanti felt at this time, How their relationship after this and how he would answer the question that Mr. Lurah would ask them.

Various kinds of worries lingered in Farzan's heart until he was shocked by the table from Mr. Lurah who had been waiting for his answer.

"Didn't you hear my question?" ask Mr. Lurah.

"Sorry sir, I didn't hear."

Cheers from the residents who were also in the living room, Outside the door to the window also resounded deafeningly. Makes Shanti even more regretful of what happened. Not to mention his concern for his mother, Making Shanti completely curse herself.

"Quietly let Mr. Lurah speak first" said one of the residents who brought Shanti and Farzan to face Mr. Lurah.

"Listen well, is it true that they say that you have perverted in our village?"

Farzan looked at Shanti who kept bowing with tears.

Farzan hesitated to answer for fear of mispronouncing and making Shanti even more embarrassed and sad.

"You still don't want to answer!?"

The loud voice of Mr. Lurah made Shanti lift her face and turn to look towards Farzan who had not yet answered Mr. Lurah's question.

"Jawab woy replied, Ngaku aja.." the shouts from the residents again urged them to immediately acknowledge his actions.

Shanti who could not dodge anymore finally admitted what they had done. Farzan was shocked to hear Shanti's confession and was very sorry because he could not hold back so Shanti was exposed to problems.

"So it's true what they said?" ask Pak lurah to make sure.

"Yes." Shanti replied briefly.

"How can you do that when you still have a husband?"

Pak Lurah's question again sparked anger and again shouted at Shanti with maki's curse.

Shanti just fell silent. The shame he initially felt, now turned into a sense of great concern for his mother who fell unconscious before he was carried by the residents.

"How is the mother now, what if something happens to the mother." Shanti's inner self no longer heard the shouts of abuse from the citizens, she said, His soul seemed no longer there until Pak Lurah decided the punishment for them, Shanti did not hear it anymore.

Farhan approached his son who was still waiting for his answer.

Just now Farhan wanted to tell about Shanti to Fakhri, Suddenly a shortness of breath was heard from Bu Rahayu. Farhan who heard immediately looked back and hurried to sit facing his mother-in-law.

"Waste why sir?" asked Fakhri who saw her Grandma having trouble breathing.

Without answering Fakhri's question, Farhan held his mother-in-law's hand and slightly raised his pillow.

"Mother.." said Farhan who became panicked.

Ms. Rahayu just moved her lips as if she wanted to say something. But his voice was stuck in his throat as his breathing grew more and more difficult.

Seeing that, Fakhri was hysterical and climbed up on the bed to his Grandma's side.

"Chap... Mbahs... Why, Mbah why sir?" fakhri asked Farhan.

Farhan just shook his head and began to feel afraid that his mother-in-law would soon be gone.

"Fakhri wait here well, you will call the neighbors first" said Farhan who rushed to seek help.

A few minutes later, Farhan returned with a few other residents. But he was too late because Ms. Rahayu was no longer breathing.

"Waste why sir, Why is Sewah silent?" ask Fakhri.

"Swaste is no son." Farhan stared blankly at his mother-in-law who had been stiffened while rubbing Fakhri's head.

At the same time, Shanti and Farzan were receiving punishment from residents in the arak around the village with hair that had been cut carelessly until almost bald.

Seriate...
