Maura was still stunned alone with what had happened to her just now, she could not stop thinking if it would happen to her, the intention of the heart wanted to ask about Goddess Srikandi, instead she got a surprise that she almost forgot.
"Here, don't you think too much about it, my God.." - Goda Ardian.
"What the hell, amused to hear it!" sahut Maura rishif.
Of course Ardian knew, Commander Arialoka was also there earlier. Now Maura was even confused about what else, if she was not with Goddess Srikandi, felt there was something lacking with her.
"In exchange, you will have that konde and hundreds of thousands of magical bodyguards, what are you afraid of? Even your enemies are afraid," said Ardian again.
"It's true too, but this thing is quite long with me but I don't remember her at all, if I knew the power of this thing was so great, maybe Dewi Srikandi is still here, maybe, he did not have to bother to beat the lowly creatures so he had to do all the punishment.
I can ask the magical guards to defeat them or maybe turn this konde into a weapon" Maura said.
"You have a point too, but at least there is a silver lining not behind all this, at least you know the function of the konde, not just the hair trimmer.
Remember the word of His Majesty, do not use the konde is out of function, if you use it only to show off or demean the opponent also can not, use it in urgent times" said Ardian reminded.
"Yeah.." said Maura again.
Not feeling the night was approaching dawn, the two performed their worship solemnly in one of the hospital's musholla, in the corner of the musholla, Maura and Ardian also saw another figure also participating in prayer.
.
.
In the morning, they decided to go home because they had to go back to college, while Bagas was there to take care of him again, alternating with the officers who guard the night with them.
"Aren't you tired, Maura? Almost a night of not sleeping!" asked Ardian, as they were on their way to college.
"Almost, but I can't sleep!" upset answer.
"Why?" ask Ardian wonder.
"Kok why the hell? Clearly, how could I have slept after that. Moreover, they took turns to take care of me so, making me uncomfortable. Want to sleep also can not." replied Maura riled.
"Haha! Turns out to be a Goddess there is no good taste too well." ledek Ardian again.
"I'm not a Goddess, Ardian. I am Maura, I am very different from Goddess Srikandi. We are two different people." said Maura.
"She is also not the Goddess Srikandi, Maura. You remember his real name, namely Princess Dadar Bulan, Dewi Srikandi is a title given by His Majesty king Balaputradewa for him.
As one of the supreme commanders who led the war against magic at that time, and until now the title remains with him, he said, until the people and the creatures almost forgot the figure of him was just an ordinary princess.
It's just that he has tremendous strength and grace, so he has a duty that he must carry for the rest of his life, because his duties and responsibilities make him known to be very loyal to everyone," ardian explained everything.
"Well, you're amazing. I just didn't get there the thought" Maura said in awe.
"I knew all this early on, Maura. You know, since childhood my life has struggled with the supernatural, so it's not strange for me anymore. Moreover, their story, it was like a fairy tale to me.
Every time he wanted to sleep, his late father and mother even bi Marni often told his story, the story of the king Balaputradewa with his friend Commander Arialoka, and the love triangle between them with the daughter of the moon Dadar, as well as the love triangle between them, including also about the crown princess Kenanga Ungu, the elder sister of the king of Balaputradewa" Ardian explained again.
"Well, I can understand now!" sahut Maura's.
Now that they have arrived at the campus, just now they want to step in suddenly Ardian get a call from Mr. Kyai, he hurriedly pulled Maura back on his bike.
"Where are we going? Not college? we're absent, Ardian!" maura asked annoyed.
"We're going to the cottage now!" reply Ardian.
"What's the matter again?!" ask Maura.
"It's about Kevin and Maurice!" sahut Ardian's.
"What?! What's wrong with both? Hey, answer dong!" maura asked very worried about her friends.
Ardian was just silent, he was also confused about what to answer while Mr. Kyai also did not explain anything to him. He was also as worried as Maura, after all both of them were her responsibility.
They have arrived at the boarding school, the condition of the cottage seems quiet outside, even though it is still morning, usually the students do a lot of activities in the morning outside this time.
"So quiet huh?!" murmured Maura.
Suddenly both of them were startled by the sound from behind the forest that was located right beside the cottage, they saw there was a black shadow there.
Suddenly a large tall figure appeared with long hair dangling, wearing clothes made of iron like old war clothes.
"Hamba came to escort the Goddess." he said while bowing respectfully.
Maura was relieved to be uncomfortable with his presence as well, he asked the figure to stand guard around the boarding school and guard it from attacks from other creatures.
"Of course, it's because of the arrival of one of your bodyguards." said Ardian.
"Not that! There's another aura around here, and strangely it's very thin, whether you feel it or not." said Maura again.
"I don't know, Maura. If you can feel it I think it's only natural, because the ability has increased." Ardian said.
They entered into the hall of the cottage, there were so many people some students and santriwati, in the middle of the crowd they saw Maurice and Kevin sitting accompanied by Mariam's ustadzah and some other ustadz and ustadzah.
They also saw Nur and Rizal seemed busy arranging something, assisted by some students and other students, they seemed to be preparing something.
"Kevin, Maurice!" call Maura while approaching the two.
"Maura!" both are looking.
Maurice immediately hugged Maura while crying as he pleased, he seemed to be very frightened, and he felt intimidated by the few pairs of eyes looking at him contemptuously.
"What is this?! Tell me something, don't cry, I don't understand!" maura asked impatiently.
"Maura, Son... Patience first, you sit here with us quietly, later Kyai will explain everything." said Ustadzah Mariam gently and patiently.
"I didn't do it, Maura. By God I didn't do it, I'm still holy until now, I can prove it!" maurice shouted hysterically.
Making Maura and Ardian even more confused by his words, while Kevin was just silent from earlier, he just lowered his head while playing his fingertips, I don't know what he was thinking.
"Calm down, kid.. Patience, patience!" mariam Ustadzah tried to calm her down.
"But we didn't do it, ustadzah. We're slandered!" said again.
"Slander you say? With our own eyes, we see your contempt. How dare you fornicate in this hut, the sanctuary of the santri and santriwati to befall the religious sciences!"
"This is a sacred environment, where we worship, not the western world where you worship!"
"Don't your aim here is just to destroy the students here!"
"You better get out of here, we didn't like you guys from the beginning!"
"Go to your country!"
Several shouts rained down on Maurice and Kevin, all eyes there looking down on them, making them both feel intimidated and humiliated.
"Be quiet, listen to their explanations! Don't make a decision by deducing your own opinion!" maura shouted unable to bear their insults.
"You know what you are, you're the same! You and these two people are from the same place, surely your behavior is not much different!" the other sahut.
"I still have citizenship in this country, so does Ardian. We're all friends, we're in God's hands, we don't know what's going on, but we believe in them.
Because you know how and what they are like, if they want to do that for what they go to America, and live here.
You also learn a lot about religion, you should know what you should do, not this way. You have to be fair with all of this" Maura said trying to contain her emotions.
Suddenly everyone fell silent with the arrival of Mr. Kyai with some of the elders and the council leader of this cottage.
"Listen to everything, we have all decided to marry the two of them, in order to avoid slander and other accusations.
We hope that Maurice and Ardian will accept this decision, and as representatives of your family, we have called Maura and Ardian as witnesses.
Both of them just fell silent to the decision, with instructions and teachings given by Mr. Kyai and Mariam's ustadzah, both of them tried to follow his teachings.
Finally the shortest wedding was carried out with wisdom and solemnity, with a dowry set of prayer tools and a diamond-eyed gold ring, Kevin asked Maurice.
After the wedding was over, everyone went to disperse, leaving the four of them with Mr. Kyai, ustadzah Mariam, Nur and Rizal.
"Actually, what happened? What exactly did they say?" ask Ardian again.
"At the time Maurice was with me doing chores together, because I was asked to guide him, while Kevin and Rizal were cleaning the fish pond in the back.
We were just as surprised when some of the santri said that they saw the two in the back garden, and committed adultery there, when it was impossible.
Of course our testimony is useless, because only the two of us saw them, not with the others. While they certainly sided with the most votes, and we certainly lost the vote.
And I think there seems to be other people like them, and slandering them, we don't know what that means. What is clear is that their good names have been destroyed by the figures”, Nur explained everything.
Everyone was silent listening to Nur's explanation, there was a sense in his words as well. While Maurice and Kevin were still confused by all these events, they also did not expect to get married in such a way.
