Social Media Effectiveness
That night, a husband and wife, Mr. Budi and Mrs. Heni were seen arguing. Mrs. Heni's hysterical screams coupled with the angry shouts from Mr. Budi's tone made some neighbors just watch from inside the house, some didn't care, and some came out of the house to break up the big fight between the husband and wife.
"You don't know your place, you don't know shame, you're a traitor. You broke our promise and marriage commitment, you're a traitor," shouted Mr. Budi angrily while pointing at his wife's face.
"Sorry, sorry, I apologize, sir. I made a mistake," said Mrs. Heni while crying.
"What did I do wrong that you did such a despicable act. What is my fault and sin against you?" asked Mr. Budi in a sad tone.
In the big fight, Mr. Budy who felt betrayed by his own wife almost wanted to use violence by taking a piece of wood to hit his wife who was having an affair with another man, fortunately Mr. Soni as a community figure was good at breaking up anger.
Finally, the peak of the quarrel between husband and wife who had been married for more than three years had to divorce. Mr. Budi was hurt and very disappointed and ashamed of his wife's actions, so Mr. Budi emotionally chose to divorce his wife. The story of love and affection that they had since they first met, since they were engaged, until their marriage is now only a bitter memory, becoming a painful shadow in the mind and creating an inner wound that takes a long time to heal.
What is even sadder is Hasni, their first child. She had to experience that bitter experience since she was a toddler.
"It's a shame, even though they are compatible in my opinion. Both are educated, both are handsome. But, no one knows the fate of humans." said Mr. Darus while hanging out at a coffee shop
"What caused them to fight until they finally divorced, huh?" Ziraf asked curiously
"People say it was because his wife cheated," answered Mrs. Tina, the owner of the coffee shop
"How did the affair go?" asked Ziraf again
“Because of often sharing my feelings on social media. I also don’t know the details. What I know is that Mr. Budi’s wife was having an affair with an acquaintance on social media,” answered Mrs. Tina.
“Lately, there have been many cases of divorce due to affairs on social media that initially were just sharing their feelings. There are also many men who are caught up in affairs on social media,” said Nono who had been engrossed in listening
“In addition to providing convenience, technological advances are also quite worrying,” I said who had wanted to comment
“Everything around us can influence behavior. The effects of social media are slowly changing the lives of children, teenagers, adults, and parents. Not a few of them are easy targets for various types of content scattered on social media. Starting from wedding content, food content, clothing content, and lifestyle content.” Said Mr. Burhan who is a school teacher.
“I totally agree, sir. I myself see that there is a pent-up desire that is boiling from parents that is now breaking out without self-control. Psychologically, children are mobilized to become adults at the wrong time. The effectiveness of social media is no exception. affects mental health,” I said
“That’s why you shouldn’t confide after you get married,” Ziraf said to me
“Confiding is normal. Even if there is a problem, don’t hide it, it must be said. The most important thing is that we must be able to choose wisely; when, where, and to whom we should pour out our hearts or life problems,” I argued.
The sound of the Maghrib call to prayer from several mosques stopped our conversation and we returned to our respective homes to pray.
