The Light of Love for Seroja
CCUS 76: Exit Way

"So, this is actually what happened sir? Why do the Fathers in this place insist on parading my brother?"

With a sharp gaze, the Judge tried to speak from heart to heart to the citizens gathered in this place. Although he knew on what basis the citizens forced Fakhru and Diba to be paraded, but he wanted to hear directly and in more detail from this group of fathers.

After the dawn prayers, Fakhru, Diba, Hakim and all those in this place gathered and sat down on the nimble. To be sure, they will discuss about Fakhru and Diba who are both in this empty house.

"Look Ustadz, we intend to parade two people who have not been legally bound in this marriage bond because they have done indecent in this empty house. We do not want, if our village is hit by a torment because it is used for worship. Are you right, gentlemen?" said one of the men who was in the crowd and tried to provoke his friends to agree with what he thought.

"Rubber," they said at the same time.

"Well, Ustadz Hakim saw for himself, didn't everyone in this place agree that these two men were in the arak around the village? It is one thing that is commonplace to give a deterrent effect to the perpetrators of violators of the norms of decency that exist in society. So let's get these two guys, right now!"

"Come!!!"

The judge just shook his head and stroked his chest to see what this group of fathers who were so eager to march Fakhru and Diba around the village would do. The judge looked so relaxed in response to what was happening before him. While Fakhru and Diba, from the look of the face both look so pias.

"Before the Fathers paraded my brother, did any of the Fathers see my brother doing indecent*noh? Or do perverted deeds as the Fathers accuse? At least four witnesses?"

Hearing the Judge's speech, made the group of Fathers flinch for a moment. Those who had previously let out a ferocious aura, were suddenly overwhelmed by confusion. They throw one another a glance and are sometimes seen whispering to each other.

The judge smiled knotingly seeing the change in facial expression of this group of fathers. He felt, after this, the misunderstanding that had occurred, would be resolved soon.

"If they cannot bring four witnesses to his accusation, then they are called those who lie before God." (QS. An-nur: 23).

"Allah also says. "And those who accuse the holy women (fornicating), then they bring not four witnesses, they bring, then they (who accuse them) will be wrought eighty times, and you shall not receive their testimony forever. And those are the wicked." (QS. An-Nur: 4)"

The judge sighed deeply and slowly exhaled. "Hows it? Have any of these fathers seen my brother adulterous? Or do something bad? If there isn't, we can't make the conclusion that they've previously been perverted."

"But Ustadz, can't they do it beyond our sight?" said one of the Father who was determined in his stance.

The judge just laughed. Because it is still the case that is not good for Fakhru and Adiba. "It was impossible for my brother to commit adultery before. The fathers see for themselves, do not they, after waking up, my brother immediately perform dawn prayers? He did not take a bath first. And wasn't it when the Fathers entered this house that they were both in different places? And you can also see, no, my brother's clothes are not messy at all and still perfectly cover their bodies?"

This time, the words of Ustadz Hakim successfully silenced the allegations that led to Fakhru and Adiba. This group of fathers again threw eyes at each other and this time they did an act of elbowing each other as a sign that they could no longer deny or refute the words of this young ustadz. They just smiled clumsyly with faces filled with bad taste.

"Then we apologize Ustadz. Sorry for our accusations. We don't have any witnesses or evidence."

Finally, after no longer having evidence to accuse Fakhru and Adiba of doing things that violate immoral norms, one of the fathers apologized by bowing his head. Feel bad for having been too far away from perception.

"Father has nothing wrong with me. Because what you accuse is not me."

As if to understand what was said by the Ustadz Hakim, the Father also moved from where he sat and approached towards Fakhru.

"I'm sorry, my. Sorry if our accusations are too painful."

"I'm also a Mas."

"I'm also a Mas."

"I'm also a Mas."

Alternately, the group of fathers apologized to Fakhru. The handsome young man only extended a faint smile on his lips. Although thin, but really he sincerely forgave all the accusations made by these Fathers.

"I'm sorry, sir. May this be a valuable lesson for all of us. By Allah, we only rest in this place. Because the car we were riding in was blocked by a fallen tree."

"Lucky nothing experienced by Mas and mbak when staying here overnight" continued one of the successful Fathers to make Fakhru, Diba and Hakim throw views at each other.

"What do you mean by Father?" fakhru asked so curiously.

"Three months ago, the owner of this house died from hanging himself after hearing her husband had an affair, Mas. Therefore this place is left untouched at all. We are afraid because often people who are passing in front of this road see the appearance of invisible creatures" said the father explained.

Adiba just shuddered in horror at the words of one of these fathers. The feathers bristled, imagining what was happening inside this house. His gaze circulates paying close attention to every corner of the room. Worried if the owner of this house hanged himself near where he was sitting today.

"We wish the best for the late, sir. And if possible, in this place is often used to read the Quran alone so as to avoid the deceit of the jinn that resembles humans. Every Sunday can be scheduled to getong royong clean this house, the lights can be replaced brighter, so as not to leave a scary impression."

The group of fathers must have heard the Judge's proposal. It seems that they approved of what this young ustadz was saying.

"Well Ustadz, starting next week we'll plan to clean this house." The father also looked at his friends. "Come, gentlemen, we begin to work together to get rid of the fallen tree. After that we clean up the house."

"Come!!!"

"Let me and this brother also help Sir," said the judge offered.

"Thank you so much Ustadz, thank you."

In the end, the problems of Fakhru and Adiba have been solved with a good way out. And now, they also took to royong to get rid of the fallen tree.

"So how could Ustadz Hakim know that I and Diba are in this place? Says Sister Maimun, Ustadz Hakim is like a doraemon that has a magic door and can instantly arrive here."

Fakhru, Hakim and Diba were in the car. After cleaning the empty house, it was time to return home. Fakhru sat in front of the wheel, Judge on the bench next to Diba, sitting on the back bench.

The judge just smiled at the knot. "Since last night Aunt Aisyah tried to contact you, but there was no response at all. Therefore, he asked Ana to follow you. He's worried if anything happens to you."

"Sorry Judge, on Diba's phone there was absolutely no signal detected, therefore Diba's phone could not be contacted at all."

"My own is also dead Tadz, seems to run out of battery," continued Fakhru also while stepping on the accelerator of his car slowly.

"Yes, ana understands. Since last night it was raining heavily and there was also a storm. Therefore it is quite natural that your phone has no detectable signal."

"Then, how did Ustadz Hakim get to this place?"

"Ana just asked about the weather conditions around here to one of Ana's friends who live here. He said it was a rainstorm and one of the trees had fallen. Therefore, after the rain subsided, Ana ordered an online motorcycle taxi to deliver to this place. And thank God we met, right?"

Fakhru laughed softly at this young ustadz story. "Alhamdulillah also yes Tadz, there are online motorcycle taxi drivers who are willing to transport Ustadz, especially in the morning blind like that."

"Yes that's it. Allah granted all things to Ana so that Ana could get here."

The judge looked back to the front. The road has begun to be crowded with motorized vehicles passing by.

"Adiba, is this weekend abi and umi have free time?" fakhru asked still while focusing on the wheel.

"God has A', what is it?"

Thin smile offended on Fakhru's lips. "There's nothing, Diba. I just wanted to take my dad and my mom to your house."

Adiba. "Silaturahmi with papa and also mama Aa'?"

"Yes, friendship. Hows it? Do you mind?"

"T-no A', absolutely not. I just feel happy if a' Fakhru and also papa mama are coming to my house."

Diba said while blushing in shame. He was really happy to have such happy news.

"Thank God. God willing, my family and I will visit your home."

A smile full of happiness never separated from Diba's thin lips. The girl smiled broadly as she learned of Fakhru's plan to visit his residence.

Oh my God, I'm really happy to hear of Fakhru's plan. Hopefully, this is a good start to our lives. Aamiin - Abdiba

I have been trying for a while to open my heart. Diba is a good woman. There's no harm if I start seriously getting into a relationship with this girl. Seroja said, what I feel for her is not love. But just a sense of mutual love between friends.
