The Love of Habib
Chapters 15.8

The next day, everyone gathered in the room after finishing breakfast. This week there were no clean-up activities because the boarding school directed the people convicted yesterday to clean various corners of the boarding school to add a deterrent effect. As a result, this decision makes everyone happy and satisfied because they do not have to work hard.

A relaxed week, everyone's activities begin with a smile. Some go to bed right after breakfast to make up for school-day sleep. There are also those who take advantage of this time to wash clothes in the river and go out of the cottage to buy daily necessities.

Aish, Dira, and Gisel are among the people who will go to the market - yet they doubt whether to be allowed to go or not so for a temporary choice, they'll probably take a look outside the cottage first. It is possible that there are merchants who sell chocolates and the necessities they are looking for.

"Let's go!" The three of them walked towards the side gate of the boarding school.

The only access santri or santriwati to get out of the cottage. At the side gate were already the disciplinary officers of the daughter and male dormitories standing on each side. Their job is to take down people who are out and give permission cards to those who permit to further afield.

"Well, what a coincidence. There's habib Thalib, Aish. Let's go samperin."

From a distance they saw habib Khalid standing with some people from among the staff of the boarding school. Aish was immediately excited upon seeing it. His feet were itching to escape to approach the habib. But his hand was held by Gisel with a meaningful look.

"When you're chasing someone, be sure to act aggressively but also stay graceful. Remember, you act aggressively does not mean you have to lower your level, let alone the person you are chasing is a habib, so it's good you keep your classy behavior in front of the habib." Gisel gave advice to his friend.

This advice sounds very reasonable. Because sometimes when a person pursues his love, he sometimes forgets with his pride so as to leave a bad or low impression of a woman in front of the object of the love being pursued.

Aish did not want that to happen so he thought about it carefully while weighing a good step when meeting the habib later. Make sure his love rival gets mentally challenged with the graceful charm that he brings, huh!

"A good suggestion. I think so too. Moreover, your love rival is Nadira and a classmate of the cottage child. With this potential doubt of yours, you better listen to what Gisel suggests." Said Dira speaking seriously.

Aish almost rolled her eyes when she heard some mocking words that Dira slipped. But as a result he immediately sighed seeing the seriousness on his best friend's face. Although it sounds annoying, but honestly there is nothing wrong with his advice.

"Alright, I've prepared myself. Let's go!"

Aish takes the first step forward, while Dira and Gisel follow behind, playing the role of a ladyboy behind Aish. The expression on their faces was dignified which was very difficult to ignore.

Walking closer, Aish could hear the habib's conversation with the comrades. Taking a wise stance, Aish understandingly stopped his steps standing still a few meters away from the habib. He waited with rare patience the people around Habib to get out of here.

Oh, I don't know when his chest started riots again. His blood rippled warmly because he could not wait to get to the habib. His mouth was silent and even his body was moved, he had a completely excellent behavior. Dira and Gisel in the back secretly sent two thumbs to his best friend.

But only Habib Khalid knew how intense Aish's gaze was on him. The gaze was so lively and sharp, as if speaking directly to the habib in order to immediately turn his gaze to look directly at the source of the gaze it came from.

Habib Khalid then averted his gaze, bringing his dark eyes sweeping around him and meeting the owner of that intense gaze. The eyes of the apricot were bright, as clear as the pure water that Habib Khalid had seen in this life.

The habib's lips automatically formed a line of sweet smiles, melting the hearts of anyone who saw it - not least Aish, the one who saw this smile firsthand.

Aish was dumbfounded, the corner of her mouth involuntarily developing a timid smile along with the red discoloration on her padlocked cheeks.

"Yes, take care of the rest. You can go." Habib Khalid waved his hand to send the people away.

"Very morning, what are you doing here?" His greeting to him was still with the same smile.

Aish smiled brightly, "I'm the same friends I want to go outside the cottage, brother. But you didn't accidentally meet Khalid's brother here so you stopped to say hello."

They did happen to meet so Aish would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to greet the habib.

"Oh yeah, what do you want to buy? If it's hard to find, I can buy it outside for you guys. Coincidentally today I'm going out to take care of something." Habib offered.

Aish was delighted to hear it. Where could he not want to? Indeed, he did not mind habib Khalid helping him at all. In fact, he also hopes that the Habib invites him to go together. But it's a pity that Aish knew that Habib Khalid wanted to go alone.

It's okay, be graceful, Aish. His mind calms his own mind.

"What's okay, brother?" Aish asked hesitantly, actually the real thing is he was very happy.

His heart was already cheering frantically in his heart unwilling to let out a word of rejection.

Habib Khalid chuckled.

"It's okay, didn't I offer my own help?" Ask habib Khalid funny.

Aish knows that too. But he only pretended to be gentle so that the impression of Habib Khalid to him improved.

"Alright if Brother Khalid doesn't mind. My friend is short of chocolate so brother Khalid please buy it outside, yeah. And here's the money." Aish opened his wallet to take the money but was immediately prevented by the habib.

"Don't first, you can give me later after buying it. For now, save your money to buy something else." Prevent the habib from stopping Aish from taking the money.

Aish is not feeling well.

"But brother.."

Habib Khalid shook his head in refusal.

"Not now. Is there anything else?" Habib Khalid asked again to divert the conversation.

Aish and his friends could buy the rest outside the cottage so he didn't say anything more.

Habib Khalid nodded his head in understanding. It was seen that the habib was in a hurry as if being chased by time. Maybe Habib Khalid will be leaving soon so Aish won't be holding him back. It's just that his legs will retreat restrained when he sees Nadira and Nasifa walking toward them - oh, precisely approaching the habib.

Aish's head instantly sounded the warning alarm inside his head.
