The six of them also saw him but no one spoke. But Ai is different. Along the way he peeked at them several times, seeing them standing under the light of a lamp with a strange atmosphere.
Ai was jealous but could only keep it in her heart.
Especially when he saw the shy smile of the girl who was colored by the red face blushing increasingly made Ai disappointed in herself.
"They look very harmonious." Ai whispered while distracting her staring at the ground.
Never mind, he no longer dared to peek at them. To calm the tightness in his heart he chose to lower his head staring at the path. He also regretted that he preferred to walk in the most marginal position. Because if Ustad Vano was going to see it-ah, Ai could see them clearly!
Next time I have to walk in the middle!. He warned himself.
Ai kept bowing her head not daring to peek until they finally saluted Ustad Vano before passing him into the courtyard of Pak Kyai's house.
"All will be well."
Deg
Ai's heart was instantly pounding. This is the voice of Ustad Vano. Just like at the mosque last afternoon, the voice of Ustad Vano tonight also resounded within his ears. It was as if Ustad Vano was deliberately uttering right beside Ai's ear.
Ai's ears were currently feeling very hot. The heat even spread throughout his body. Making Ai's knees feel limp and her vision became dazed.
"Astagfirullah, Ai be careful! Is your head in trouble again?"
And yes, for the second time he took a wrong step and almost fell down! But fortunately there was Mega who immediately held him back or else he would be very embarrassed!
"No, my head is fine!" He rebuked her with a face that was getting red.
Both of her hands were covered in a long hijab cloth moving to touch her flat chest. He lowered his head deeper and deeper, feeling the sound of heart beating spreading an unbearable sweetness throughout his body.
Oh my God, did I not hear wrong?
Ustad Vano, did he say that to comfort me?
If true, could it be that he already remembered who I was?
Fuck, that's impossible! Ustad Vano used to think I was a man so how could he remember me as a woman. As for the words I heard earlier, I still can't guess. Inner Ai immediately denied.
He did not know what the reason was but for sure right now his heart was very happy.
Tiara then smiled faintly, she held her longing in silence and refocused her forwards.
"Asphalt, Umi?" Sasa gave his greetings in a soft and polite voice.
Inside, a beautiful middle-aged woman came out with a soothing warm smile. He invited the six of them in and closed the door shut to block them from the view of the men out there.
It just so happened that Pak Kiyai was at home so many men who intersected and shared knowledge. Usually that will fill the house is a santriwati who wants to share knowledge with Umi. It's just that since there is now Pak Kyai with his guests they are not allowed to come.
Before the door closed Ai ventured to look towards the gate to see the whereabouts of Ustad Vano. But Ustad Vano had gone somewhere leaving the girl who had now switched to conversing with a middle-aged woman.
Ai was disappointed but at the same time she was grateful Ustad Vano ended up staying away from the girl.
In the confusion he wondered what exactly their relationship was.
"Sir Kyai told me earlier. He said there were 4 new students fighting in the dorm. Can Umi know who the 4 students are?" Umi actually knows except for Sasa and Tiara, the others are new santri. It was just that he had deliberately done so that they would acknowledge him personally.
"Sorry Umi, the one who fought was just the three of us and she didn't come." Mega said while pointing at Ai.
Asri who has devoted himself as a follower of Mega immediately voiced out as well, agreeing with what he said because of the fact that Ai did not participate.
"He's right, Umi. Ai wasn't in the fight and she was just there to break us up." Asri said in a polite and gentle voice as possible.
His loud cry evaporated out of nowhere.
Sari only snorted lightly. He could not argue because the root of his own problems started from him and Mega, while Ai always tried to divorce them.
Umi nodded lightly, "Then can you explain to me why the three of you are fighting?"
Seriate..
