Ai sprayed 5 to 7 times from the feet to the top of the headboard. After that a very light fragrance of roses floated in the air.
"Mother is not perfume but fragrance. Mother said it didn't contain alcohol and the smell wasn't too hard to spread anywhere so I was allowed to take it." Said Ai while extending her hand to Asri.
"You?" Ai's bargain did not hesitate.
"Then I want to. This is very fragrant.." He picked it up and inhaled the fragrance with a deliberately exaggerated expression.
Ai smiled, "Take it and keep it to yourself. I still have some in the closet so don't refuse." Said Ai while taking the toiletries.
Asri did not refuse, he was very happy to accept the fragrance. He even kissed her a few times because of addiction.
"Let's take a shower now before everyone goes to the mosque."
Asri was surprised, "This one?" It's so cold.
"It's okay, Asri. The water isn't as cold as you think and bathing in a third of the night is really beneficial for our bodies." Ai explained lightly.
Asri honestly did not dare to take a bath, but since Ai had already said so then she was embarrassed to refuse.
"Let's go." Asri said take his face too.
They wake Mega up, drag her together into the bathroom and instantly part ways when she walks into a small bathroom.
It's 3 am so they don't shower too long because they don't know how the rules of tahajud prayer are here. So to avoid punishment they immediately fled to the mosque to come not too late.
They perform tahajud prayers in the central saf. Immerse yourself in reading the Sholawat before reading the Qur'an.
"The three of you take it easy, later in class we will secure 3 seats for you." Herlina promised them.
Ai and Asri thanked me while Mega said nothing. Herlina and the others did not think much about it because after all humans were born with different characters.
After that they all went to breakfast at the food booth. During the meal Ai sometimes raised her head in search of Ustad Vano but she did not find him anywhere. Whether it's on the street or at the food booth he can't see it.
"Who are you looking for?" Asri comes to look around him while stealing glances at the male booth.
"Nothing, I just want to see the situation." Ai lied back down, feeding half a spoon of warm porridge into her mouth.
"Oh.." In fact, he knew Ai was lying, but he did not urge Ai to be honest.
They are friends but not yet that deep to reveal the secrets of the heart.
"Assalamualaikum, have you finished your breakfast?" Sasa, Tiara, and Frida came to their table.
Coincidentally Ai, Asri, and Meha had already finished their breakfast and were about to get ready to go to the rice field. But they are confused about going to the rice fields where considering here the rice fields are very wide and many.
"Waalaikumussalam, Sis. We finished breakfast and went to the farm. But we were confused which rice field to go to because last night Umi didn't explain it." Say Asri in a polite tone.
Sasa smiled, "Follow us. We will guide and supervise you during the punishment in the rice fields. But before that you have to take a basket of vegetables in the kitchen to hold the vegetables you picked." Sasa directed straightforwardly and kindly.
"Thank you, Brother. We'll take it soon." The three of them went into the kitchen to get a vegetable basket. Each person took 1 to carry.
Then, the six of them went together through the path of the boarding school. On the way Ai and Mega rarely talk because first, there is Frida who continues to see Ai with a mocking gaze so that Ai does not want to make any movement that further increases Frida's hatred for him. Secondly, Ai was indeed not wanting to speak. His head was full of family at home that he missed so much and of course, he missed Ustad Vano as well.
