The Love of Habib
Chapters 11.8
Gisel was also still sleepy but not as sleepy as Aish.
"If the mosque has been recorded by a njai, then it means we will perform tahajud prayers. Let's get up before we see another santriwati." Urge Gisel while pulling his two friends to wake up and immediately go down to take water ablution.
"Yes.yes, this is also the way." Said Dira while releasing her hand from Gisel.
He woke up alone and did not forget to bring his things.
"Put our face on the front saf. We'll be back here too." Aish's advice to both of them.
Gisel and Dira agreed. For the first time they managed to capture the front saf. Usually the front saf is always dominated by others and the three of them are always a subscription to the rear saf.
"Eh," Aish suddenly regained consciousness.
He straightened his back and turned to the side to look at his two best friends.
"Why?" Ask Gisel weirdly.
Funny to see Aish's pillow face.
Aish blinked lightly. His eyes glanced at the shelf where he had sat last time and moved to look at the shelf where he had woken up earlier.
"Kok I suddenly slept next to you guys?" Ask Aish wonder.
Gisel and Dira are even more astonished to hear Aish's strange question.
"Don't you always sleep there last night?" Ask Dira back.
The last time he slept, he still saw clearly that Aish was still beside him.
"Yes Aish, you never moved anywhere last night." Gisel said sure.
He also sees Aish always being nearby. Although well he was a bit sleepy last night, but he was sure to squirm and even talk a little bit with Aish before going to bed.
"Oh..." Aish speechless.
If his two best friends say this then it means they do not know if last night he had moved his seat to calm down. And here's the weird one. Aish remembers very well that last night he was still sitting in front of the window of the mosque and he also did not forget that he immediately fell asleep there after chatting many things with his mother.
Freaky,
Then why did he suddenly return to his original position?
Is he sleepwalking or because he is too deep to sleep, he unconsciously rolls up to the place of Dira and Gisel?
No, I never have much behavior when sleeping. Batin Aish refuted.
He always behaves well when he sleeps. Not crooked let alone sound, not much movement especially to roll around to and fro, and do not like strange let alone to sleep walking. Aish never had that habit.
"What's wrong with you, Aish?" He's getting paranoid.
Aish shook his head in doubt, "I'm not okay."
"Oh. good, huh. So last night I was just a dream, yeah." Mumbled Dira hesitated.
Last night he had a dream but strangely why did it feel so real?
"What dream?" Gisel asked calmly.
Dira scratched his head that did not itch while grimacing.
"I dreamt last night I saw Aish being held in the same bridal style guy. But it's a pity that I can't squirm the guy's face because it's too dark." Dira said regretfully.
"Cowok carry me?" Ask Aish scared.
Maybe what Dira dreamed actually happened, otherwise why would he be stranded there?
But it's not all that important! Because the most important thing was who was the man who carried her to that place?
If it was habib Khalid anyway everything would be fine, but what if it wasn't habib Khalid?
Ah, disaster!
"Yes, but it's just a dream, Aish. It's a shame it's not real." Dira said not thinking too much about it.
Aish clenched both her hands in fear.
"It would be better if it was just a dream.." Mumbled Aish scared.
"What did you say?" Gisel asked not to hear it too clearly.
Aish shook her head quickly.
"I didn't say anything." Lying Aish.
Aish closed her eyes determinedly.
Well, let's just say he sleepwalked or accidentally slept rolling up to where Gisel and Dira are.
This reason was much more reasonable than being carried by an unknown man.
Ugh, it feels scary.
"Let's go wudhu." Take Aish while running away from her two best friends.
Seeing Aish hastily leave, Dira and Gisel did not think that strange. They even think that Aish is in a hurry because they do not want to be seen by other students and not because of the Dira dream factor that is not clear. The two of them then ran after Aish down. Fortunately, the bottom is still quiet and the students can not see them because it is blocked by the border curtains that are on the doorstep of the mosque.
"Hey, you hear me, don't you?" One of the santri who had just woken up and was sitting collecting lives suddenly felt his knuckle stand up.
"Sound what?" Ask her friend who is still in a daze.
The Santri looked up at the second floor timidly, "So there was a sound of footsteps on the second floor, you heard no?"
The other shook his head, "No one, you heard wrong times. Access to the stairs to the second floor will be closed overnight so how could there be anyone upstairs."
That's what scared this guy. If access is closed then no one goes upstairs, and if no one can go upstairs, then the second floor is quiet. Whose step did he hear just now?
"Masa..masa, anyway?" Santri sure heard it clearly.
His friends nodded lightly and did not notice the santri's pale face.
...****...
10 Minutes later, the mosque was immediately filled with santri and santriwati. Some are waiting in line to take ablution water in the mosque bathroom, and some are fighting for saf inside the mosque.
Meanwhile, Aish, Gisel and Dira had long since secured their positions. Now they are sitting on a prayer mat with a face that is much fresher than last time.
The scabbard that Aish and Gisel brought was hidden under the prayer mat while Dira kept her jacket behind the mukena.
"Saf ahead is a good spot, anyway. There's a lot of people who take it." Said Dira shaking his head.
Because from where they were sitting now, they could see directly to the first floor from behind the guardrail. The first floor is a place where men pray while the second floor is a place where santriwati pray. It is not a secret anymore if the students are very attractive to santriwati. Unable to express feelings, santriwati usually let go of their admiration by peeping or looking at the santri from afar. And the front-most saf position on the second floor is the best spot!
