I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 13.8)
Again, for the second time Asri was stunned to hear Kevin's words. In his heart he wondered if his feelings were too obvious?
Does Kevin know how he feels about her?
But how is it possible? If so, Kevin must immediately keep his distance from him because he does not want his relationship to be disrupted. However, what did Asri get?
Kevin did not keep his distance nor did he avoid it. Then... Kevin still doesn't know about his feelings?
"The letter was deliberately made for Adit. It just so happened that the three of us admired the same man." Reply Asri impressed avoiding questions.
Asri further lowered her head began to work quietly - only God knows how nervous Asri was at the moment.
"Hem," Kevin lowered his eyes.
He knows Asri is hiding the truth from him because that night he also heard the outpouring of Ai and Mega's heart about the idol duo of the boarding school
They have long loved Ustad Vano and Ustad Azam so how could they have so quickly moved their hearts to find another man.
"You lied." Said Kevin in a light tone.
He stood in a silent place staring at the silence of Asri opposite him. Asri was overwhelmed by many erratic thoughts. What's he supposed to do?
Kevin doesn't seem to want to stop the conversation. So, did he have to run away, hide into the soup kitchen so as not to meet Kevin again.
But wouldn't it be very obvious if he was hiding now?
Kevin will suspect his feelings.
"The letter has nothing to do with your two friends, but it's yours. Initially the letter you want to give to the male santri but not to Adit. Am I right?"
Kevin asked boldly while watching Asri's face. He wanted to see the change in expression that was happening on Asri's face.
Asri was drowning in her fear. He tried to smile, but in Kevin's eyes this smile seemed contrived and forced.
"How could it be, my best friends and I have admitted it. Because of that confession we also ended up here, so after all that happened how could I possibly lie?" Reply Asri is still trying to defend his lie.
"You're right. After all that happened how could you still lie." Surprisingly Kevin immediately believed what Asri said.
And because of these words too the conversation they both ended in an awkward atmosphere. Throughout the cleaning of the male santri booth no longer let out a sound, even Asri who was always chatty and talkative suddenly became quiet.
This continued until Mega walked into the men's booth after cleaning the last table in the women's booth.
Mega was initially surprised to see Asri and Kevin here, then her surprise turned to be confused when she felt there was an incorrect atmosphere between the two of them.
It's not a romantic atmosphere, really. It's like here it feels a bit gloomy. Mega is not sure what they were talking about before his arrival but he is also convinced that it was not a bad talk.
However, again Mega chose to talk about it later after completing all the work and at the right time to chat.
Half an hour later all the booths were clean. All the dishes and dirty glasses were also handled by the three of them because after cleaning the booth, Mega and Asri immediately rushed to go into the soup kitchen to help Ai inside.
During his work in the public kitchen, Mega also felt if there was something wrong with Ai. He became quiet - despite the fact that he had always been like this - but it felt very different this time. It was as if Ai's current mood was very, very low.
"You're coming back soon?" Ask Ms. Dian-one of the kitchen staff who was very friendly to the three of them.
No one feels uncomfortable talking to him.
"Yes, Mom. We have to go to school to study." Mega took the initiative to answer because Ai and Asri seemed unwilling to open their mouths despite the smile on their lips.
Hah, they're both very strange.
"Mashaa Allah, then the three of you can go and do not waste any more time. Oh yes, I would like to say that tomorrow after the dawn prayer we will go to the market to buy kitchen spices. Our supplies are running out and boarding schools never grow some very important kitchen spices because they do not fit the soil here. So, after the dawn prayer tomorrow you three can miss the cooking to accompany me to the market." Said Bu Dian carrying very fresh happy news for the three of them, especially for Ai and Asri who were trapped in a bad mood. They were honestly very happy to hear this news even though it did not show through excessive expression.
"Really, Mom? Are the three of you allowed out of the cottage tomorrow?" Mega is still the one who serves Bu Dian.
They were allowed to go out of the boarding school, but it was only once a week, precisely on their holidays. But despite being given an exit opportunity, they are not allowed to go as far as the market does. In addition, the shops in front of the boarding house sell more clothes and learning equipment than food. As a result, every time they go out they just buy food that's it, making them bored and start reluctant to go out of the cottage.
So that every holiday instead of going out to shop they even immerse themselves in their respective activities. Mega will usually spend time off with sleep all day, Asri also sometimes sleep but more accompany Ai go to the library. But actually more Ai was accompanying them. As the two of them slept, Ai very understandingly sat in front of the study table without making a sound to wait for them to replenish the energy.
