Two weeks Hanna's in the hospital. Thoriq transferred to a large hospital in Semarang to get the best treatment.
Ella deals with the events that happened to Aira and Hanna. Based on a few minutes video that was recorded by Aira.
Without video, Reni, Nanda, and Liliek have brought evidence of wounds on their faces due to falling from the resistance of Hanna.
The parents are called. Ella did not force her disciples to confess, only reminding them that every act will receive the rewards of both the world and the hereafter. Either it is in the form of calamity, difficulty, and will become the inhabitants of a place full of fire in the afterlife.
The three teenagers eventually admitted and had to be expelled from the pesantren. Although not easy because Reni's parents refused and even blamed the presence of Hanna and Aira. They even threatened to virtualize the pesantren policy of accepting former prisoners working there.
With a cold head Ella said that the pesantren did make mistakes and enormous failures. Failed to educate Reni, Nanda, and Liliek to be good moral Muslims according to the teachings of His Majesty.
Ella is prepared to face any charges and even threatens to sue back for defamation of the pesantren. Not to mention the acts of persecution that have still not been reported to the police.
Unlike Reni's stubborn parents, Liliek and Nanda's parents are deeply ashamed of their daughter's actions. They apologized and will cover Hanna and Aira's medical expenses.
Ella also managed to dismantle the involvement of two teenage boys named Derri and Haikal who are high school students from a school not far from the boarding school. Liliek and Reni are secretly dating and have them help teach Aira a lesson.
Based on the information, Ella contacted the principal and submitted for follow-up.
Hanna and Aira themselves did not want to prolong the matter. Hanna sends messages to Nanda, Reni, and Liliek to repent and improve their behavior because they also like bullying their classmates.
As the leader of the pesantren, Ella was very embarrassed because there were many things that turned out to escape his supervision. Two weeks later, he decided to resign. His decision was met with strong rejection from the sisters and their parents. Even the alumni who have spread to various regions and countries also pleaded for Ella to continue to provide santriwati sisters.
Ella has long been the head of the pesantren and under her leadership many students who graduated to be useful humans for their families and communities.
The santriwati promised to make Nanda, Reni, Liliek as a learning for them not to demean others let alone to hurt. If there are bad habits downhill, then they will break up right then and there. Even junior students will always be polite to their seniors without being asked.
Nanda, Reni, and Liliek meet Aira at Thoriq's house to apologize. So did Derri and Haikal who had helped them hurt Aira as well as Hanna.
Kala had to fight as hard as he could to endure patience. He wanted to beat up two men who had beaten his sister.
Aira was heartened to the five of them until Kala finally forgave. Ciut also Derri and Haikal if you have to face Kala which is now almost as high and as fast as Thoriq.
Aira returns to the boarding house after a week of rest at her father's house. Hanna has also returned to work in the pesantren. Although not able to walk far because of the pain in the back that radiates to the legs. He accepted sincerely while continuing to beristighfar hope that his pain became a foregone sinner.

A man sat in front of Ella who looked at her with an amused smile. He was carrying a box of cookies he bought at Kuala Lumpur airport.
Over and over again the man fixed the neck of his shirt which was already standing upright. Sweat as big as corn grains sprung up on his forehead.
After clearing his throat and sipping a glass of water directly provided by Ella, Dicky said, “Mother, if allowed, I want to get to know Aira further.”
The smile on Ella's face instantly disappeared. Hanna hunted down Dicky and beat the man with her bag.
“Cabul! Why do you want to know my child further, heh?”
Hanna kept beating Dicky who was covering his face with both hands.
“From the beginning I thought you were weird. Age conscious, dong. You're too old for Aira. Oom Raunchy!” Hanna was relentless.
Dicky runs away from Hanna who keeps chasing, now takes the newspaper and rolls it into a club.
“Here you! Don't run.”
Dicky continues to avoid Hanna until Ella mediates the two.
“Hanna, Hanna stop first. We're talking about Dicky.”
“Bu, from the beginning, this guy is looking for my same problem. Let me kick him!”
Ella smiled amusedly at Hanna who was looking at Dicky with an accusatory and angry look. Dicky was confused because he was not aware of his mistake.
“Dicky, Hanna, sit!” Ella's word is like speaking firmly to her students.
Hanna was still glaring at Dicky who was now following Ella and sitting next to her.
“Salah, Dicky, you're sitting across from me. Hanna you're here.”
Dicky hastened to take a detour to Ella's designated sofa. Hanna prepared to beat him again as Ella pulled up and sat down beside him.
“Sit!” Ella's orders again.
“Dicky, repeat your intention.”
“As I said earlier, I beg your permission to get to know Hanna further.”
While Hanna was still looking cynically, Ella smiled.
“You realize, you said you wanted to know Aira further. That's what makes Hanna blind.”
“Innaalillaahi, Mom. Naudzubillah, cook yes I want ta’aruf same Aira. Probably misheard,” said stubbornly with innocent look.
“This is a real person asking to be beaten ..” Hanna took a newspaper club to go back to beat Dicky.
“Hanna ... Hanna, briefly we tabayyun first do not origin gebug.”
“Hanna, her mother ... Or Aira, her son?” Ella asked slowly.
“For God's sake, ma'am, I beg you permission to get to know Hanna further. Not Aira. By Allah, Ma'am, Hanna. I said Aira, yes?”
“According to lo?” Hanna replied in an exasperated tone and still looked suspiciously at Dicky.
“Sorry, Hanna. I really want to know you. Honestly, I've never felt this way. Sorry if I was too nervous and called Aira.”
Hanna looked at Dicky. Then down.
“Find other better women. I don't deserve to be known any further.”
Hanna bit her lip.
“Before you think like that, this is a complete bio about me. You can cross check with Ustadzah Ella and Bu Ruqqoyah. They know me from long ago.”
Dicky handed the map to Hanna. Since Hanna did not accept, she put it on the table.
“I also bought souvenirs for you.”
Dicky put a box of cookies next to the map.
“We're together in Malaysia, Dicky.” Hanna frowned looking at the image of the Twin Tower that characterizes the city of Kuala Lumpur.
Dicky grinned wide while scratching his head that did not itch.
“So I bought it for you to fit overseas. What's his name if not souvenirs?”
“Ya but .. ah come, thank you.” Hanna gave up, confusedly responding to the face of the wall in front of her.
“Hanna, my life is not smooth either. I still have a lot of debt ahead of me. I don't know if we're a match or not, but let me’aruf you.”
Hanna's forehead wrinkled.
“Where are women willing to equal men a lot of debt. What is the debt for, anyway?”
“All in my biodata, Hanna. Read up. If you don't like it, just say it. If you like, I'll preach and then we'll marry.”
Hanna.
“Dicky, you're not kidding anymore, are you? You know who Hanna Adinda is. The file about me you read. I ... I ..” Hanna's voice shakes between shame but also happiness because there are still men who want to consider it.
“I'm not kidding, Hanna. When you lay unconscious, I was really afraid of losing. Maybe you will just back off, right, which woman wants to marry a man with a lot of debt. But I pray you'll be the only one.”
Ella held Hanna's hand.
“You read Dicky's biodata first. Ta’aruf is the time for you two to get to know each other. Take care not to let in this time you just sin. If it fits, hall it. If not, release.”
Dicky and Hanna were talking to each other.
“You are, Hanna?”
“In shaa Allah.”

“Kak Aira .. Kak Aira .. Bu Hanna said yes. We're gonna be brothers!” Shouted Fatimah and Latifah who had been waiting for Aira in front of the class.
“Totally? Do you know where?”
“We saw Oom Dicky's nose deflated after talking to Ms. Hanna in the cafeteria. His face is very happy.”
“I asked Mama, yes, let us to admin office.” The three of them then raced to the administrative office.
Aira knocked on the door before entering. The young girl looked up before entering.
“Ai, why?” Hanna smiled looking at her daughter's face.
Aira was still frowning to see if there was a cloth person in the room. Pesantren regulations do not allow students to meet with family outside the time of visit. But he couldn't possibly hold back his curiosity.
“Ma, so it’s a yes?”
Hanna nodded. “In the Lord. Doain Mama, yes.”
“Allahu Akbar!” Latifah and Fatimah burst in and embraced Hanna.
“Bu Hanna, it is not family so it's okay if we meet,” said Fatimah hugged Hanna.
“Maa shaa Allah ..” Hanna hugs a ten-year-old who cries happily in her arms.
“Later after getting married to Oom Dicky, May I call Bu Hanna as Mama like Aira, right?”
“Bby, Darling.”
“Ifah wants it now, Mama. Oom Dicky we ask, want to be called Oom or Papa.” Latifah then hugged Hanna and her sister. They both miss the figure of the mother who, although only a few years old, died but felt very long ago.
“Mama is still learning, so if something goes wrong, tell ya.”
“Sama Kak Aira has also never lived with sisters. Oya, you'll have many brothers. There's Mas Kala, then there's five more in England. They're not stepsisters or bladders anyway, but the same I'm a brother.”
“Aira,” greet soft Ella.
“Yes Allah. Ustadzah,” said Aira was wrong and then suddenly fled somewhere.
Ella entered looking at Latifah and Fatimah who were busy drying the tears on their faces.
“Ustadzah met your uncle. So, I heard the good news. Hanna, you get ready. Dicky didn't want to wait a long time.”
Hanna smiled behind her veil. A month of getting to know Dicky and his two nephews made him feel the warmth of a family. Latifah and Fatimah received it with open arms.
Aira was just as excited. He said at least one of his parents could live with his soulmate. Thoriq had heard about this as well. He was supportive because he knew Dicky was a good person.
“I'm glad you met and are getting married to Dicky. I pray you are happy,” he said when he accidentally met Hanna at the boarding school.
“Still, Mas. Hanna pray Mas will also find happiness.”
“Aamiin,” sahut Thoriq.
“Tante Hanna,” call Kala with a serious face.
Hanna turned to the teenage boy who was increasingly day-to-day face, style, and way of speaking like Thoriq.
“As per Kala's promise, Aira has been happier since close to Aunt. Kala wants to say that Kala is sorry Auntie.”
“Maa is Allah, really Kala?”
Kala nodded. His sister immediately hugged and kissed his sister's cheek.
“Still, Mas. Muah muah muah.”
“Iih Aira what the hell?” The reply pretended to be evasive. He then tickled his brother who had fled behind Thoriq.
Every visit, Thoriq would share time with Hanna. A day Aira will be with Hanna and tomorrow with Thoriq.
With Aira, Hanna went to wedding dress rentals in the market. Or shopping for wedding necessities. The plan is they will marry modestly in pesantren musala.
Dicky has tidied up his house. Luckily the father who rented the house to him willingly painted so that now the house looks neat.
Not to forget he replaced the single bed with a larger size bed. Buy a carpet with floral motifs for the front room that does take the theme of Lesehan alias without a sofa. Homeowners also replace worn curtains. Though simple, Dicky's house is ready to accept Hanna as Dicky is ready to justify Hanna.
Her uncle and aunt from Mariam's side, the joint venture bought a beautiful broken white bedding. While his father's brother gave a sum of money that Dicky immediately saved.
A week before the wedding, Dicky was tidying up the room when he heard the front door open. The village where he lived was safe so before nightfall, residents rarely locked the doors.
Dicky walked out of the room when someone knocked him down.
Not yet aware of what happened a group of men came in and surrounded him.
“Heh, would you like to do a macem? From adultery mendingan wedlock!” Shouted them out.
Dicky pushed his body over it.
“Innalillaahi Sister Eliza. What other sense is this,” he said furious.
“Please, Sir. He wants to rape me.” Eliza is crying.
“Ck, where anyone was raped all over. So you guys, how much are these women paid to make grebeg action?” Reply Dicky super ketus.
“We don't want to know! What is clear is that you must be married immediately.”
“Amit-amit. Let's go to the police station now. All right, Mbak divisum. If I want to rape Ma'am, there must be a sign of violence, dong. Gentlemen, come with all of you as witnesses.”
That fierce face immediately swerved. He also dealt with the police.
“Come, one I bonceng, if afraid will run away. I'm sure you'll want to find evidence. Let it be bright. Come on Ma'am, we're leaving.” Dicky smiled calmly.
One of the leaders among them said, “Mmm, Mas Dicky, you are a good man. Shouldn't be alone with women.”
“Emang correct. Shouldn't women sneak in and pounce on men,” Dicky replied again.
At that time the neighbors came to know why there were unknown people gathered and fuss in Dicky's house.
Mr. RT went forward and asked about the incident.
Eliza complained, “Dicky invited me here, then when I came straight to the room, sir. He wants to be indecent.”
“That's it, Mas, ngaku. Keep married, done, right, want to do it every day is also halal,” exclaimed one of the men who had stormed in.
Mr. RT looked forward and asked the men who surrounded Dicky, “Who are you? You guys aren't citizens can be here?”
“We heard there was an act of maksiat.” Their consent together.
“See from whom?” Ask Mr. RT to investigate.
“There is, Mas Dicky is going to like the presence of Mba Eliza, so residents fret.”
“Which price, Sir?” Wrap one of Dicky's neighbors who knows who Eliza is.
“Mmm Mr. Syaiful ..”
“There is a name Syaiful in this village. Come on where are the ID cards, who are you guys?” Snap Head RT.
“Pak! How do you manage them? I want to be raped by Dicky. He must marry me as a form of responsibility!” Eliza half-screamed adding to the drama effect.
Widya's mother whose house is directly adjacent to Dicky's house said. “Have to be raped by Mas Dicky, kali.”
Eliza mendelik's.
Dicky tried to be patient, he replied, “Mbak Eliza, I said we went to the police station. Report me. Will be processed must pass through the visa. I do not want to kayak Mr, crumpled and forced to marry Ma'am because I did not get pregnant first son of the Father. That's also I'm not sure if Karina is really my father's son or not.”
“Dicky! Don't be so rude! Karina the son of your father!”
“Ya yes .. Yes we will discuss it next time. Now to the police station.” Dicky picked up the jacket and the motor keys on the table.
The horde of men was kasak kusuk.
“Mas Dicky, we recommend Mas same Mba Eliza to the police station. Don't take us.”
“So I asked for a KTP, no one loved me yet? I want to know what street people are you on? New resident? How not to report?” Mr. RT.
They all fell silent while making a frown. “Sorry Sir. We're just a scout for Ms. Eliza.” After being silent one of them finally confessed.
“Johan!” Pekik Eliza's desperate.
“Sorry Mom, we'll return the money. But we don't want to deal with the police.”
Each of them collected a hundred thousand and handed it over to Eliza.
“Your ass!” Eliza snatched away the money Johan had given her. Then walk out while stomping your feet.
“Eiiits, wait a minute ..”
Bu Widya, Bu Joko, Bu Marjinem who is styreg stymied against Eliza.
“What else?” Snap Eliza.
“We heard there was an attempted act of rape of our citizens. You tried to rape Mas Dicky, right?”
Dicky and some of the residents' fathers held back laughter.
Bu Joko took a picture of Eliza's face and smiled triumphantly.
“Go, or I viralin you as sundel bolong predator jaka tingting.”
“Damn you!” Eliza pushed Bu Joko who was fat but even her small body was strung.
Laughing chuckling, the trio gave way to Eliza who immediately stood up and scattered out with her mercenaries.
“Astaghfirullahaladzim by Allah. Almost aja ...” Dicky said while sitting on the bedside.
“Duh Mas Dicky, the fate of having a stepmother like Mak Lampir,” sahut Bu Marjinem.
Dicky smiled and said, “Father and mother, thank you. Yes Allah ..” man itunterus rubbed the chest out of relief.
“Quiet, Mas. We know what Dicky looks like. Too bad I have been hounded to propose to Mbak Hanna, if not Bu Joko would take to be a ghost.”
“Hush, but yo really je. Darling ae Siti even geleme karo Si Iwan. Halah, the child. Nek Mas Dicky is a mateng.”
(Hush, but really. Unfortunately Siti even wants the same Si Iwan. Halah, little boy. If Dicky was dead).
“Ranum yo, Mom,” chirps Bu Widya makes Dicky's face reddish.
“Yes, Dicky, we said goodbye. In shaa Allah next week I am present at the wedding.”
“Ya must be present dong, sir, will be a witness.” Dicky cetus half-gutted.
“Lak tenan wis kebelet. A week is still a long time. Seven days, one hundred and sixty-eight hours, ten thousand and eighty minutes, then how many seconds? Still paaanjaaang and luaaaamaaa ..” Celtap the neighbors tease Dicky who is just a whimper.
“Makasi, Sir, Ma'am .. awaited next week, yes.
Dicky locked the door. He was bergidig with the incident earlier.
“Naudzubillah. Horrified that I married that Mak Lampir.”

At the beginning of this chapter the author alludes to the desire of how the school should act against bullying.
But there are still schools that agree even consider it just ordinary delinquency.
Anyway, say no to bullying and bullying. They're just people lacking the work of a strong and pretentious gabbit bin.
Peace out!
