THE VIRGIN WHO WAS (ALMOST) STAINED
Moral Punishment

"Until when do you see the neighbors continue anyway, Mas? If you want to join, join."

"No, I joined them. Dorky. It is celebrated! Look out, I can definitely repay Julian. He is a man who can be ashamed! I can too!"

The wife of the man who had just cursed with anger took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The familiar woman called Widia sat on the chair there while looking at her husband.

Widia knows very well what her husband is feeling right now. Ashamed and vengeful, that's what happened to her husband named Samsul. What happened to her husband this morning at Julian's house was indeed very embarrassing for the husband.

But from the incident this morning made Widia realize that the family of the in-laws was wrong. They hated Julian for no apparent reason. Either because of Mirna who has performed, or maybe because Rastam who does not accept Julian is richer than himself.

"What would Mas Samsul do? Didn't Mas Samsul himself already know what his father Julian's influence was like?" ask Widia gently.

The man named Samsul turned his head and looked at his wife, then sat down on the chair that was in front of him. "Whatever it is, the important thing is that I can humiliate Julian. No matter how strong his father is. The important thing is that I can avenge the boy's actions" Samsul retorted hatefully.

Widia went back to breathing slowly. "Related to not care? This morning I was talking. Let Mirna attempt to get close to Julian. I don't need to follow, but Mas is reckless. You know what happened to you, Father? Would Mas want to be dragged by Julian's father through the law?"

Samsul. He stared at the face of the wife. His brain was working, digesting what the woman who had been seven years accompanying his life said. Indeed, what happened this morning was because he was too excited to have a rich brother-in-law without caring about his past actions to the same person.

"Maybe because of Mirna's intentions are not good, we as her family are affected. What else from the beginning we supported him. When Julian was poor, we didn't live that child. We don't know. But when he owns the house, then we harass him just because we are afraid that we are rivaled to our wealth. But in fact, our treasure is nothing compared to the treasure that Julian has. He can make superMall, can we? There are only four kiosks. So yes it is clear that what Mas Samsul will do, will be in vain."

Widia who saw her husband was silent, seemed to review a thin smile. However, she was quite embarrassed by what her husband had done this morning. So he did not want to add to his shame if the husband continued to disturb Julian's life. Widia realized, she also had a family that was quite prominent in her hometown. She did not want to embarrass her family because of her husband's family.

While elsewhere, people who have problems with Julian, are also feeling ketar ketir at this time. In addition to looming criminal threats, the anger of neighbors who feel they have been lied to also become their own fear for the family. Lehan and his parents both seemed to sit down and hold the shame of what is happening now.

"Try to explain, Mr. Tarmidi, what exactly did Lehan do to Kamila?" said Mr. Rt local. He represents the hearts of his citizens who are curious about what really happened first.

Some residents just know that the wrong thing is Lehan, but they do not know where the wrong place. Those who heard Alonso's speech at the inauguration said only the three wives of Julian are innocent and only the victims of slander and the case will be processed legally. Hence, they were quite shocked to hear it, until a trial like this happened.

"If you are innocent, there is no need to be afraid. Wasn't it before the law was taken, you were very sure that Kamila's husband would lose? But why is the story so different?"

"Right," one citizen chimed in. "What are you covering up? If you're innocent, you're not going to be this silent."

"Yes, Mr. Tarmidi, mending you all ngaku. Are you really going to keep going through the law? Then you're ready to be embarrassed dong."

Lehan and his parents are still tight-lipped. They really did not want the neighbors to know the disgrace that Lehan experienced. But their silence was in vain when a voice sounded that surprised them.
