I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 17.5)
"Sir, maybe it's just your feelings." Mega said comfort him.
Honestly, the first female santri that Mega thinks has managed to attract the attention of Kevin is Asri, his best friend. Starting from the incident in the rice field that day, he was really suspicious if Kevin was also actually interested in Asri especially when Kevin forced Asri to use the sheath he brought.
Sasa shook his head in denial, "I'm sure of my feelings, Brother, that Kevin is interested in the female santri. Especially when he heard the news that the woman had come out of the boarding school, Kevin looked very panicked and rushed out of the cabin with Hana. He would rather chase the woman down to his village than come home with me."
Mega's heart is knocked,
Back to the village?
Is that woman really Asri?
Asri is from the village. But, if the female santri is indeed Asri, then what is the reason for coming out of the boarding school?
Asri is not as smart as Ai but he is quite enthusiastic about learning and studying at the boarding school. He aspires to be a reciter of the Qur'an, always dreaming of seeing his Father and Mother in the crown of glory by Allah SWT before all mankind in the Hereafter.
Mega recalled, Asri always said that and he was sure that Asri would never throw away his dream because Asri had a strong determination to make it happen.
"I know Big Brother already realized who the female santri I mean is." Sasa now began to look into the eyes full of surprises Mega.
"No way..." He could not believe that Asri had come out of the boarding school.
"True, it was him, brother. The girl that Kevin gave the sarong that day, he suddenly came out of the boarding school for no apparent reason and made Kevin into a distraught. For the sake of the girl, he was willing not to return to the city. And now, I don't know how they both are. It's possible that Kevin has expressed his feelings for Kak Mega's best friend, and it's possible that they have now officially become lovers"
"Sasa," Cut Mega with mixed feelings.
This news was so sudden and he was worried something happened to his best friend. Because Asri will never give up on her dream unless there is an emergency that forces her to stop.
Emergency, but what?
"Behold, deck, if Big Brother's best friend isn't the person you think he is." Whatever it was, he first had to clear Sasa's mind first.
Mega nodded lightly, she did not dispute what Sasa had said earlier.
"He likes Kevin but that doesn't mean he has to have Kevin." Mega said.
"Asri is a good observer, the deck. This feeling is very sensitive, deck. Because of this sensitivity he easily knows what people feel even if the person does not speak. As well as your relationship with Kevin, he knew before you made it clear that day. And do you know what he said after knowing your relationship?" Mega asked without needing a reply.
"He said he would keep his distance from Kevin and start looking for new prey. Big Brother knows he's lying and Big Brother knows forgetting someone is not easy because Big Brother never felt it. But he was strong, decked, and he held his words firmly. He said he would never approach Kevin again, so he has never approached Kevin since. Because he knows, deck, it must be painful to see your beloved fiancee approached by another girl. He understood what it was like and that was why he would never approach Kevin again. Instead of approaching Kevin, he preferred to comfort his heart by pretending to look for another santri. Act as if Kevin was a stranger he had never known before." Connect Mega with a very strong belief about his best friend.
Asri is such a person, he easily reads the feelings of others but also best understands the situation of others. He did not want to be the third person in another's relationship, other than not wanting to hurt his fellow women but he did it purely because of his heart.
His heart does not allow Asri to be selfish and his heart also wants Asri to be a clean girl. He may like someone but that doesn't mean he should have them.
"Then why would Kevin chase her to the village where he lives if they really have no relationship?" Sasa's heart wavers for a moment.
Mega shook her head not knowing.
"I don't know the reason why Kevin chased Asri to his village, but one thing I do know is that Asri would never renege on a promise he made himself. If you don't believe it, then wait until he gets back to town and see if everything you think happened."
Sasa fell silent. He lowered his head thinking. Mega of course did not bother him because he knew Sasa needed time to digest everything. Besides that he was really worried about Asri. She thought Asri would come to town to attend her wedding. But who would have thought if Asri even came out of the boarding school.
And the thing that Mega regretted the most was why he forgot to save the contact number Asri and Ai. Because that way they can contact each other and can help each other to solve their respective problems.
But now what, he has no contact Ai and Asri. Maybe Ai can he call through Ustad Azam, but what about Asri?
He lives in a village, but what village?
And...what exactly makes his best friend to have to drop out of school?
Mega can't help but worry about her best friend.
