Talak on the First Night (Doubtful Sanctity)
3: The Trial and Slander

With one leg and relying on a walking stick as a replacement for the left leg amputated three months ago, Warisem's mother opened the door of her house because someone banged her slowly. Gedoran is so helpless that it makes Warisem's mother who is still awake because it is too worried about the princess and indeed worries for no reason, deliberately ensuring.

Sure enough, Arimbi who about fifty minutes ago left, was indeed the culprit. The daughter actually returned, helplessly looking down without daring to look at her. Arimbi's body was soaked because the umbrella that when going to be used for shelter, was instead gripped tightly.

“Mbi ..?” Call Warisem's mom slowly. His voice was stuck in the throat because he saw Arimbi as he was now, his chest as if stabbed by a sharp object with a very cruel and repeated. It was very painful because before, he had never seen Arimbi as bad as he was now.

“Bu ..” Arimbi knew, wet sugar disease suffered by the mother will get worse if the old woman had a lot of thoughts let alone stress. However, Arimbi did not want his mother to wish on things that could only hurt, including that of wishing on a person like Ilham who was already dazzled by worldly luxuries.

“Nothing, Mbi. Justsaytheword. Mom believed in you. I believe you always do your best!” sure Warisem mother, especially so far there is nothing better than Arimbi. Arimbi is a strong woman who is very responsible. Even if the daughter will be very emotional and not infrequently will bar-bar, Warisem's mother believes that the reality happened because Arimbi's opponent has been very outrageous.

“Bu ..” Again, Arimbi's voice stuck in the throat. In front of him, the mamak who was still waiting and looking at him carefully, nodded his head, still patiently waiting for him to tell a story.

“It turns out before going home, .. mas Ilham has married the daughter of the highest leader and owner of the boarding school he served.” in front of Arimbi, Warisem's mother has been instantly tearful.

“How do you go? What do you want to go on with? Everything goes back to you who undergo, Mbi.” mother Warisem stroked the left arm of the princess who immediately shook her head.

“Neg, Bu ...” With tears even sobbing, Arimbi told him everything. Absolutely everything including Ilham who to defame him to Agung, until he was desperate to beat Ilham using an umbrella.

“Which I did not finish thinking, why did he get slandered I was that cruel, he insisted that I was used to the boss, I was pregnant, and the money I gave to charge him, he said, he said haram money, Bu.”

Ms. Warisem knows, Arimbi has tried hard without making her feel the burden that is being borne. But it cannot be denied by Warisem mother, Ilham influence because the status of the man is very strong. Indeed, as Arimbi said, now Arimbi like ants trying to fight elephants.

“Nothing, don't be afraid, Mbi. You are not wrong, you have to move forward. Although it may be very painful, later the truth will definitely win, Mbi. Remember, the price of truth as well as happiness, is indeed very expensive. Therefore, Ilham classmates are willing to do contempt only for the truth and happiness of his version.” Throughout the early morning until dawn greeted, Warisem's mother continued to convince the princess who was curled up in her lap. He stroked full of affection Arimbi's head which was initially wet and slowly began to dry due to the rain that had flushed. Can Warisem's mother make sure, the wound that Arimbi got from the betrayal of Inspiration, really deep.

“You can do it, Mbi. You can get through all this and you must be strong. Because through this ordeal, Alloh is trying to lift your degree!”

“I don't want to take the medicine again, even though my feet are very fat. So fat like this and until slandered pregnant.”

After both did not sleep, they rushed to take water wudu, then ended the congregational morning prayers. Next, what they do is cook pecel equipment that has become their source of sustenance. Ms. Warisem has been pursuing the job, since she was young until now. Arimbi, who even had to be ART in one of the houses of the rich people in their village, also helped. Usually Arimbi will travel early in the morning before going to his employer's house. But today, it seems that the fact will not happen because the morning, Arimbi will attend his case at the residence of Ilham's parents.

***

At about seven in the morning, Arimbi had come to the house of Ilham's parents. This time he did not come alone. Because after coming from home accompanied by Warisem's mother who until he was carried because the streets were muddy and impossible, the presence of Agung Arimbi's older brother, making them three.

“If they are still convoluted to accuse without evidence, just force them to return the money that Ilham has been using, Mas,” said Arimbi whispering to the brother who immediately nodded his head.

What makes Arimbi upset, Ilham has not called RT sir and other witnesses. “Padal ino is seven o'clock, loh, Mas. Though you also said last night, cut your tongue if seven o'clock, you have not done our business. Horrified!” tangent Arimbi who indeed shuddered. He and his mother and brother, still standing on the terrace of the house Ilham like a loan shark who was charging.

The atmosphere of Ilham's parents' house is still very messy because usually, it is Arimbi who cleaned it all up. Although after dawn had been around the sale of pecel lontong and fried foods, and about nine o'clock had to go to the house of the employer, Arimbi still had time to take care of Ilham's parents as his form of worship. It was like that even the matter of eating Ilham's parents, Arimbi who took care of it, Arimbi was still slandered.

Inspiration that occasionally still stroked the nape as well as the back, only sighed softly and could not explode like when just alone with Arimbi. Of course the man is not possible to do it because it is deliberately maintaining the image.

After nearly two hours of waiting, the trial finally began. Inspiration by the appearance of the Qur'an and to wear a turban, taking oaths under the Koran as they had done to Arimbi. Inwardly, Arimbi wondered, the evidence was as strong as Ilham had until the man dared to take the oath under the Koran.

“If it is not proven pregnant, it means it has been aborted. Astagfirullah,” lirih Ilham when Arimbi took a test pack that has been provided to prove suspicion, that Arimbi was pregnant.

“Can you say that, Mas. Think the same young scholar, immune to sin? Yes Alloh, yes Alloh. Extend the life of a man whose abominable life is like this so that he has a chance to repent,” sneer Arimbi who then went from there to do a pregnancy check using a test pack and of course not proven. It's just that, the mouth of Inspiration has been quibbled if not proven, meaning Arimbi has to abort it.

“This way, I should be able to sue, right? It's called defamation. Moreover, slander is more cruel than murder.” Arimbi did not care even though there was his father-in-law Ilham whose call only made the woman did not dare to say.

“It has not been proven pregnant, I also accused of abortion. Now come on, if you can't prove it, please clear my family's good name. And please, give back all the money you used! You well, Mas, you do not need to bring education with you religion. Don't forget, without me being a maid every day rub wc and finish this, you can't possibly be like now.” Arimbi spoke at length.

“Our business with religion, let it be each other's business. But your business is the same as mine, quickly cleared up! If you are a human who claims to be educated and religious, you should be ashamed! Banana trees that even though they have a heart but do not have a heart just know themselves, when you are asking for respect want to wash your hands?!” continued Arimbi who is still standing in front of the participants of the trial.
