Habib Khalid smiled politely, turned to Father and Mother without caring for Aira who looked at him with a longing gaze, and replied, "I feel really fed up."
Uh?
Uh?!
The expressions of Mother and Aira instantly changed drastically. They were astonished to hear the blunt answer from the habib. But more embarrassing is the laughter of the people in the room who heard directly what the habib said.
Aish to close his mouth so as not to let go of laughter because after all they are his family. Don't laugh in the front but laugh in the back.
"Bun~" Call Aira sad.
Tears rained down on the pale face again, touching the most sensitive spot in the hearts of Mother and Father. Mother immediately hugged her daughter, hurriedly wiping away the tears on Aira's face with heartache. He had never seen his daughter persecuted, and persecuted right before his own eyes.
"What does Habib Thalib mean to say this to my daughter? After you touched my daughter, you immediately turned your face away. Why are you doing that, are you reluctant to take responsibility to my daughter?" Ask Mommy furiously in front of everyone.
Both of her eyes were red, her facial skin was pale, losing color, and her lips were trembling withstanding the outpouring of anger and tightness within her chest. He was very angry because the princess he raised was painfully hurt by the habib.
Before the habib opened his mouth to answer, the aunt who was also angry at the side followed him opened her mouth.
"This is not what Habib Thalib is like. Are you ashamed of the blood in your body? Or do you feel proud just because you are a descendant of a very noble person? Habib, we know that what you have done is a sin even though you are from a glorious prophet. You must not do that, using your identity so arbitrarily as to not want to be accountable to our daughter. Aira is a woman, can you imagine what her life will be like when you refuse to take responsibility for her? Where's your conscience?" Aunt was very eloquent in front of everyone.
Surprisingly he was confused at the reaction of some people who were blatantly laughing at him. He understood that habib Khalid was the idol of many people in the boarding school, but that did not mean their hearts were blind to seeing evil.
Dad felt the same way. Suddenly he felt like a clown who was doing attractions on the road and was watched by many people. Often people say that children who go to school in boarding schools have a very deep adab and have a sense of manners. Seeing him now somehow he doubted what people were saying. As good as an idol, the heart cannot accept evil especially if they are fellow women.
What makes these people laugh at their families?
Father raised his head and looked at Habib Khalid, waiting for what he said next.
Habib Khalid was as calm as ever. The friendly smile on that handsome face never receded, it still made the hearts of many people and felt appreciated.
"Everyone, thank you for your input. But it's a pity that you are suing the wrong person because I have nothing to do with your accusations. Instead, I came here to demand justice. If the matter is not well lit today, then I am willing to take the matter to the legal table." Habib Khalid spoke casually but what he said left the family confused and astonished.
What does the habib mean?
They're suing the wrong people?
"What's..." Aira looked over and found that people were laughing at her.
Abah and Umi did not dispute what Habib Khalid had said. His heart immediately felt cold. Has he missed anything?
Or has he forgotten something?
She panicked yet tried to look perfectly normal to cover up how nervous her heart was now.
"This is the reason why today's trial was conducted." Abah finally had a chance to speak.
After Abah spoke everyone did not make any more sounds. They closed their mouths compactly listening to what Abah said with a submissive attitude of respect for Abah as their teacher and manager of their boarding school. There is no one who does not admire the figure of Abah, for them Abah is their parents while in the boarding house who will always protect and guard them until they return to their respective hometowns.
"As stewards of boarding schools we are very negligent to give a gap to some people who have ulterior motives or have bad intentions in boarding schools. Due to this negligence, the cottage had two casualties over yesterday's incident. Father and Mother know that neither Aira nor Habib Thalib were rushed to the hospital yesterday after taking illegal drugs. These illegal drugs cannot be consumed by just anyone let alone to use excessive doses, the effect will be very dangerous. We even consulted a doctor at the hospital about this issue. They are very supportive of us to quickly find out who the perpetrators who brought illegal drugs to the boarding school. You see, these illegal drugs are very dangerous and should not be consumed."

"Right Abah, we heard everything from the doctor last night about the illegal drugs our daughter was taking. We think the drugs were given by the habib of Thalib to render Aira helpless and unable to defend herself when she was about to be touched by the habib of Thalib." His father and wife and younger brother assumed that habib Khalid had deliberately done this so that Aira could not dwell after falling into the hands of the habib.
They believed him just like that and plus Aira did not dispute what Dad said. Precisely because of Aira's silence made them think that habib Khalid had indeed intentionally done that.
"When listening from one side maybe the truth will not be found because each party feels right alone. Fortunately, at the time of the incident occurred, Thalib had made a video recording to avoid things that were not desirable. The footage is already here, we can watch it together so that we can see the real events and no longer cause misunderstandings between all parties." Abah then asked his trusted staff to prepare a video that was deliberately taken from the phone of Habib Khalid.
"Vi-video what?" Aira was very confused by the development of the present situation.
Not only did he not understand what Habib Khalid was saying about the wrong demands, but he also did not understand or even know about the videos. Gisel and Abah didn't say anything about the video last night while in the hospital.
But it's okay, weren't I and Habib Thalib stuck in the same room yesterday? Inner Aira was trying to calm the restless mood.
"Look and watch. You don't have to worry, justice will always be on your side." Mother's whispers are undaunted.
He believed, deeply believed his daughter's rhetoric. She was convinced that Aira was not lying because she herself had raised her daughter. He knows very well how his daughter lives.
Aira nodded in understanding. His eyes glanced towards the habib. Habib Khalid stood straight without panicking on his face. And what hurt her even more was Aira who noticed that occasionally the habib would steal a glance at Aish. Making the girl smile bashfully with her cheeks blushing, looking very shy.
Aira's heart was stung. It hurts so much. In this position also habib Khalid still thought of Aish, even paying attention to him.
I hate Aish's sister! Inner Aira was heartbroken.
A few seconds later Aira's attention is drawn by a video that is being aired in front. Samar, he could hear someone's heavy breathing. The man was breathing heavily as if his body was bearing an enormous burden.
Aira's heart was pounding again when she recognized the background of the video was the living room in Umi's house. In the middle room there are several rooms, one of the most striking rooms is the brown door closest to the screen.
"Tuan~" Shortly afterwards a middle-aged man came inside and immediately approached the person who was filming the video.
To some people inside this room, the middle-aged man looked familiar. His name is Mr. Man, the one who always met habib Khalid goodbye at the boarding school.
"Help me up." Habib Khalid's voice was so hoarse the number could still be recognized.
"Astagfirullah, habib Thalib, what is going on with you, son?" Umi comes with Abah after being contacted by Mr. Man.
Umi's question confirmed that it was Habib Khalid who was filming the video. While Aira, who was accused of being alone or touched by the habib, still has not shown her whereabouts.
Just now that this question had come to everyone's mind, the brown door opened and the one that came out of the room was Nadira... With Aira.
More precisely Aira stubbornly hugged Nadira's legs to make them difficult to move. Nadira's expression in the video cannot be defined by words. Bitter, sour, annoyed, irritated everything comes together in one word: frown. She was very pouting, pulling her legs from Aira's hands many times, but still unable to escape.
In the video, Aira looks confused. His eyes were like those of a drunk man. His mouth also did not stop calling out the name of Habib Khalid until a shout shook his ears instantly making many people dumbfounded.
Up here the video is stopped. Actually there is still a duration of a few seconds but not needed. Because a piece of this video alone is enough to explain everything.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Seriate...
******* tomorrow afternoon. Now there are no frills inshaa Allah so sure,😶
