I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 14.15)
"Oh God..." They secretly sighed.
Ustad Vano heard the sound of their protest but acted as if he had heard nothing. He then turned to see his lover-Ai who was now bowed staring at the ground with a very red face like a boiled crab.
Ustad Vano was anxious to see it but because it was caught off guard he did not dare to make Ai even more embarrassed in front of his friends.
"Except for Ai," Ustad Vano said as she cleared her throat lightly.
"He is in recovery so he cannot do activities that drain too much energy. So, for a while he had to spend his time resting in the dormitory until your condition completely recovered. I'm sure you know how Ai is doing now and I'm sure you won't have the heart to ask her to carry out the punishment tomorrow."
Ustad Vano was not a favoritist in matters of rules. What he said was true if Ai was not in good shape to receive punishment. Moreover, he was in recovery period because it had dropped and could only wake up in the afternoon. The condition of his body clearly could not accept the activity that was too draining a lot of energy.
"Ustad Vano take it easy. We all know how Ai is and we will not have the heart to ask him to run the punishment. Rather than work, we found it helpful for Ai to take her time to recuperate inside the dorm. Ai's condition is paramount to all of us." Mega took the initiative to speak.
Due to the rumors earlier this afternoon, the attitude of Ai's roommates instantly changed drastically. They are more friendly and open to Ai, and even they also help Ai clean up the rumors. Explaining to the people that the rumor was a big lie, Ai was a kind and intelligent girl, she was also very friendly to the friends in the room and without hesitation shared.
This was what they told everyone they met was talking about rumors. Although it could not completely resolve the rumors but this little favor really meant a lot to Ai personally. He was very appreciative and grateful to his roommates who were willing to take the initiative to help.
Ustad Vano was relieved to hear that, "Thank you, I'm so grateful that you guys want to understand Ai's condition. And lastly regarding Ai's bad rumors, you can all be sure that tomorrow afternoon the boarding school will solve it directly under my supervision. I promise, God willing."
This rumor must have made Ai suffer greatly. He can't tell anyone about the condition of his body - no, how can Ai's body suddenly leak and spread in the boarding house?
Because the people who knew about this matter were very few considering that both of Ai's parents were very secretive about this matter. Except for the doctor, Ustad Vano and his two cousins, only Umi and Pak Kyai know this secret.
And among them none of them would divulge such an important matter, he was sure that someone else had stolen Ai's health report.
"Ustad, are we going - is Ustad okay?" Hana saw her cousin sister daydreaming.
Ustad Vano came to a realization from his daydream, "It's okay, I'm fine. You guys going back to the dorm? Please, you can go back to the dorm. I won't hold you back."
He then turned to look at Ai who was still at home lowered her head.
Everyone,"...." Where did that indifferent voice go just now?
"Yes, Ustad?" Ai did not dare to raise her head.
Ustad Vano let out a long sigh.
"Please bring the paper bag back and don't refuse my gift. Also, regarding the rumors I will try to find out who the perpetrator who has dared to create slander for you. Until the culprit is caught, I beg you to be patient and stretch your heart out in the belief that God gave you this test to prove that He loves you too. Will you?"
Ai nodded in embarrassment. His face was hot. However, among all that attention the thing that needed Ai the most was the last words of Ustad Vano. This is a test for him in this world as God loves him. For Al-Fudhail ibn Iyadh once said that if Allah loves His servant, He will multiply the pain that the servant feels. But if Allah hates His servant, then he will extend the world to that servant, naudzubillah, Ai will not be a servant whom Allah hates. Ai does not want, if God hates him then he will have no one either in the world or in the hereafter, naudzubillah.
"Well, Ustad. Because Ai believes this is one of the tests and Ai believes God is always with Ai. Ustad, thank you for helping Ai."
Ustad Vano smiled, "I know you are a smart person. One more"
"Ekhem," Hana gave the code while patting her hands together as if there were mosquitoes here.
Ustad Vano let out a long sigh, "Alright, you can come back and don't forget your punishment tomorrow."
Everyone,"...." How can we forget this cruel punishment!
...🍁🍁🍁...
They all returned to the dormitory accompanied by voices of temptation for Ai. Regardless of the punishment they would receive tomorrow, everyone's mood was very pleasant until they finally heard the scornful voice of one of their roommates who had somehow since when had already returned in the room. Since the magrib prayer they never saw this child again, he disappeared without saying anything to the other roommates.
"Oh, so you still want to be friends with this 'jejadian' girl?" Sari asked with a scornful voice.
Seriate..
