I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 12.2)
"Thank you for your reminder. Studying every day isn't very good for brain health so I can't torture my head any more on the day off." Asri is not much different from Mega.
There was no need to ask anymore who was the most diligent person studying among the three of them. Yes, the answer will always fall on Aishi Humaira. Because of this intelligence in class he is much liked by Ustazah teachers. In fact, there are some Ustazah who offer Ai santri exchange selection or scholarships abroad.
However, unfortunately Ai always refused humbly. He was not averse to sustenance but Ai knew for herself the limits of her body's endurance. Ai is weak, she gets sick easily, and she also has to go through her menstrual period that comes erratically these few months.
Since that night Ai will come the month once a month or once a month. This is erratic and every arrival Ai has to stay at least one night in the medical room because her body immediately falls down.
Mother Sapphira at home was very worried to see Ai's uncertain condition but she could not visit Ai because she was also at that time in her precariousness.
"Well, if you go there not the intention of learning to continue to want to do what, dong? The library contains only books and books." Ai's head is not as extreme as Asri's head whose contents are already similar to a roller coaster climb.
He was a country boy but his soul and passion was like a city boy.
"Later you'll find out soon enough. That's why you guys clean up don't slow down so we can go to the library!" Asri was very excited.
While Mega and Asri are still making up their beds, Ai has already finished her clean-up. He just needed to put his books in a suitcase to make it even tidier.
However, when he opened the suitcase, all of Ai's attention was drawn by a small sheet of paper that he got from his bag on the first day of boarding school.
"Sir Vano.." He touched the sheet of paper.
The lines of her lips smile widened, forming a beautiful sweet smile and full of flowery feelings.
Then, his memory was again drawn by the soft voice of Ustad Vano when leading the prayer last night.
وَا صْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى
washthona tuka linafsii
"And I have chosen you for Me." (QS. Ta-Ha 20: Verse 41)
This verse Ustad Vano repeats many times, the tone is soft and the sound is very melodious.
Ai had even subconsciously closed her eyes back then. It was as if he sensed Ustad Vano as it stood in front of him, touching the top of his head while echoing that piece of romantic verse.
...🍁🍁🍁...
After breakfast the three of them went home first to the dormitory because there were items that Asri had to take in the room. Once out Ai and Mega felt astonished to see Asri carrying a book in his arms, the book he brought a kind of plain binder that is not too flashy.
"But I got a book?" They walk while chatting.
"Emang why? Is it wrong to bring books to the library?" Asri asked back.
Mega rolled her eyeballs lazily.
"Not that either, he said he had not studied there."
Asri is even more annoying, "Lho, is it wrong to bring a book to the library even though you don't study?"
Mega anxious, his hands wanted to scoop his best friend's face but soon he paused when he saw there Ustad Azam and Kevin were chatting on the edge of the rice field.
Both of his cheeks involuntarily flushed red, immediately, he turned his face looking down and happened to see Ustad Azam's feet wrapped in gauze. Although it was covered by a cloth of his pants but Mega could still see the gauze covering Ustad Azam's ankles.
"It's not a small wound." He immediately recalled the stifled voice of Ustad Azam enduring the pain last night.
His heart became anxious mixed with pain. He was sad to see that Ustad Azam was not doing well.
"Hey, don't be sad, Ga. Although Ustad Azam keeps a photo of Kak Sasa but that does not mean they have a romantic relationship. Trust me, you guys just misunderstood and when it's time it'll be clear." Asri thinks Mega is still saddened by the relationship of Ustad Azam and Kak Sasa who are still ambiguous.
Because when they vent last night Mega looks lethargic and weak, much different from her normal self.
Mega smiled small.
"I don't think about it anymore, though." He's not lying.
"Eh, here is Kevin's brother. Is it okay you can still grimace like this in front of him? Look at the woman we passed. They're all ayu-ayu and meek in front of men, not bars like you." Bisik Mega is generous.
Asri is too open. Whether in front of her friends or not, Asri never held herself in her attitude because this was her. Without having to pretend or rearrange himself into another figure, he is he, he likes to smile and laugh regardless of the judgment of others.
