The Love of Habib
Chapters 12.7

Both Mother and Father were immediately shocked to hear it. They did not expect Aira to suddenly say this, especially to Father himself. He still remembers that night Aira to tears refused to enter the boarding house when Dad wanted to move her. Dad thought he wanted to fix the brothers' relationship, hoping they wouldn't hate each other anymore. But Aira refused, her daughter was still traumatized by Aish. She is afraid that Aish will repeat the same mistake and give her the drugs again.

Aira thought her parents would be happy to hear her, but after she raised her head, her parents' reactions were very different from what she expected.

"Son, didn't you reject him back then?" Father said reminding.

Aira also knew and she deeply regretted her careless decision.

"Aira was still scared at the time but now she's not, Dad. Aira these few days thought about it seriously and well. I think there's no harm in moving to the boarding house and mending the relationship again with Aish's sister, Dad." Aira replied that she had prepared her reasoning since this afternoon.

Mommy and Dad are happy to hear their daughter's adult decision. Rather than get caught up in the trauma, their daughter very bravely took a step forward to free herself from that painful trauma. Who is not sick to try when he knows his own brother turned out to secretly put illegal drugs to harm him?

"Really, I'm glad to hear that. I didn't think Aira was now an adult and capable of making big decisions." Father praised sincerely.

Aira was wrong. His heart seemed to be floating into the high clouds. Sweet and happy, these feelings were mixed in his heart.

However, not yet high he flew, his next words directly threw him back to earth.

"But Dad can't move you to the boarding house because you're about to take the exam." Dad regrets it.

Aira instantly lost the smile on her beautiful face.

"Why, Dad? In the boarding house, can Aira also test the same Aish?" Ask worried.

Dad was even more sorry when he saw his daughter's persistence.

"Yes, but you have passed the conditions set by the school and boarding school. According to the boarding school, you can be transferred at least five months before the exam, so Dad offers you to leave at that time. But now it's past the tempo. You can't change schools even if you want to." Said Dad explaining.

Aira was feeling hurt. How could his hopes be dashed to get here?

Then what if he can't go to the boarding house? Wasn't his encounter with the habib just wishful thinking?

So is he willing to see Aish seduce the habib in the boarding house? No, just thinking about it made him angry let alone to the point of seeing it.

"Is there no other way?" Aira's eyes started to get wet.

Dad was immediately full of seeing it. How big the heart of his daughter who wants to be in a good relationship again with Aish. Really, Dad was very proud of his daughter's willpower. Maybe only Aira is able to be heartened to forget the past while Aish, Dad does not know how to say it. Aish may find it hard to make peace with the past.

"Dad doesn't know, son." Said Dad regretted it.

Aira clenched her two hands furiously mixed with sadness. How could there be no other way?

"But Aira.wanted to move to the boarding house, Dad. Aira. miss Aish's sister. And Aira also wanted to study in the boarding school because the science of religion there is much higher than elsewhere." Aira said sadly.

The more sad the Aira, the more desperate the Father and Mother. Aira knew this well so she deliberately used this way.

"Dad, don't we have any other way?" Mother could not bear to see her daughter's grief.

"Can't you ask Grandpa?" Aira asked turning her head.

Grandfather became acquainted with Habib Khalid and should have a solution so that he could get in there.

"Don't bother Grandpa with this problem. Grandpa's condition is not fit and should not think too much." Said Dad expelling Aira's mind.

Aira also knew this but she really had no other way. In this house only the grandfather who knows the habib Khalid and because they know each other, Aira is sure if habib Khalid will accept it in the boarding house.

The work space immediately became quiet. Mother and Father looked pondering, thinking how to help Aira get inside the boarding school and join Aish.

While Aira herself was busy squeezing tears to melt the hearts of her parents. For now, the only way was to attract the sympathy of his parents.

Aira was honestly not at home at school either. His identity as a child actor has been known almost one school since Dira opened his disgrace. Making the kids at school make fun of him behind his back. The people who used to be against Aish are now turning into pros, they pity the misfortune of Aish losing her Mama. Though it's Mama Aish's own fault that can not attract the love of Dad so that gives the Mother a chance to be liked by Dad.

"Dad... Mother.." Urge Aira force.

Dad looked at his daughter embarrassed. At the boarding school, Dad had no influence. Different from this city. At least here you can ask for help to high people he knows to pass his daughter to change schools.

"Well..." Dad breathed heavily.

...****...

Early the next day, Aish was awakened by Dira and Gisel to perform congregational tahajud prayers. Aish's body was a bit sore because of the long journey and he was also still sleepy, his body was reluctant to leave the bed. But his brain soon became clear when he recalled last night his groceries had not been distributed to his roommates.

That is the trust of the habib, and the trust must be immediately conveyed otherwise Aish will bear this debt until the next day. Aish ogah has a debt, especially until it is brought to the afterlife. Not that much money to pay off debt!

"What time is it?" Aish asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

He sat on the bed with no intention of leaving her.

Dira is also sleepy.

"Hour 3." Answer's relaxed.

"Three?!" Aish's eyes were in shock.

It's only three o'clock and this lizard dares to wake him?!

Really looking for a commotion!

It is fitting that the room is still quiet and the lights have not been turned on, it turns out the children are still sleeping and it is not time to wake up.

"Yes, half an hour away from the mosque." Gisel clearly.

Aish did not think. Since when did his two best friends get up in the middle of the night? Usually they are misuh-misuh and daydream in the mattress first just want to go out to the mosque.
