I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai Love (Chapter 10.5)
"It looks like it's already in the rainy season."
He stood dazedly staring at the expanse of sky that a few minutes ago was bright light blue now it had turned into a gray color. The air also felt a bit heavy and moist when it touched the skin of his face.
1 hour ago he and Almaira were walking down the rice fields chatting. Ah, rather only Almaira was the most active talker between the two of them. While he listened more quietly do not know what to say because the content of the conversation Almaira all about Ustad Vano.
Whether it was from the beginning of the meeting to their matchmaking, Almaira did not miss a single bit to tell him.
"Is this drizzling?" He raised his hand, opening his palm facing the sky so that a light and odorless clear water droplet fell on it.
It's indeed drizzling.
From the thickness of the cloud over the extremely dark sky, it seemed like the rain that was about to fall would not be light and quickly stop. He guessed that tonight would be very cold and long.
"When do you want to stand here? Are you planning a rain shower?" Mega's lazy voice made Ai surprised.
He turned his head, found Asri and Mega somehow since when it had stood behind him.
Ai smiled a little. He pulled back his hand that was already a bit wet from the drizzle.
"When did you come here?" Because he didn't realize it at all.
Mega shook her head, pulling Asri's hand to approach Ai. They then stood shoulder to shoulder watching the dark ash sky which was quite creepy.
"Tonight seems like a blanket will be very useful unlike the previous nights when more blankets are stored in the closet." Mega remembers the nights they spent.
Usually when waking up some people like to throw their blankets on the floor rather than using them because at night the weather is more hot and makes sultry.
"Luckily I brought two blankets from home." Ai also reminisced about the hot nights they spent.
"I also brought two blankets from home." Said Asri following the flow of talks that Mega made.
"Well, everyone brought more than one blanket from home to spare."
Then the three of them fell silent enjoying the damp touch of the afternoon breeze containing raindrops.
"Don't your heart get better?"
"I want to move to another boarding house. I don't want to stay here and be the third person in someone else's relationship. I'm afraid.." Said complaining.
He didn't expect Ustad Vano to get bad rumours because of it and he didn't think it was because of you that Ustad Vano was looked upon badly by many santri.
Ai was also blamed here. He described her as a bad girl and chased after Ustad Vano at a time when Almaira was clearly his fiance.
"Ai," Asri called out to him doubtfully.
"I don't know what Brother Almaira told you but Ai, I think you should wait for Ustad Vano to explain everything. The only person who knew about the truth besides Kak Almaira was Ustad Vano. So, don't think the no-no first. We have to wait for Ustad Vano to come home to get his bright spot."
Among the three of them Asri was the best observer. He likes to pay attention to the attitudes of his two friends especially when faced with the duo of refrigerator running which has disappeared for 9 months.
Mega thinks the same.
"What Asri said is true, Ai. You have to wait for Ustad Vano to get the brightest clarity."
Ai shook her head not daring to hope, "I am who to Ustad Vano, I am just a stranger. After all, everyone already knows about their match-making"
"It's just a rumor, Ai. Everything you hear is a rumor that goes by word of mouth and not necessarily the truth." Cut Asri asserted.
Whether to get what wind, Asri today suddenly became someone who is good at talking and thinking clearly.
"If it's true it's just a rumor then why hasn't Ustad Vano ever denied it?"
Right, why Ustad Vano did not refute it and let the rumors continue to move wildly by word of mouth.
Asri certainly could not answer it. He did not know the reason why Ustad Vano had been silent about the rumors that spread. If it is said Ustad Vano did not hear it, no, this reason seems far-fetched.
Ustad Vano must have heard it. But why choose to shut up?
Though Asri believes Ustad Vano likes Ai when viewed from the attention of that time.
"I don't know, Ai. I'm sure Ustad Vano has his reasons, maybe he thinks the rumours are not important and will soon disappear over time so he said nothing to clarify. Also, you should know Ai if Ustad Vano's nature is always indifferent and cold. So I think it's natural to see him quiet about the rumors that have been circulating."
