The Love of Habib
Chapters 16.7

"Yes, sis. Aish and his two friends had an accident. They were not seriously injured and only minor injuries in some places so they were immediately rushed to the hospital." The junior once again explained.

Others spoke up, "But this morning's accident left many panicking, brother. Especially habib Thalib. People in the CTF said they saw Habib Thalib in a panic when the accident happened. Especially when he saw Aish's brother passing out with an injured arm, Habib Thalib directly lifted him personally from the mud puddle and carried him into the car."

This junior had unknowingly scratched the wound in the heart of his idol. Nadira thought of a thousand kinds of scenarios and faint guesses upon hearing this information. Which woman is willing to see a favored man touch another woman, especially if that woman is his love rival?

Nadira was not at all willing. His heart was racing with jealousy and anger. This feeling was mixed up inside his chest. Secretly this self blames Aish for the pain in her heart.

"Hush, this is just a rumor and it's not clear yet." The other junior noticed the discomfort on Nadira's face and immediately rebuked his friend for not speaking anymore.

His insensitive friend just kept talking.

"No, my brother was the witness when the accident happened." He said he insisted on again scratching the wound in Nadira's heart.

His friend was annoyed by this junior's stupidity. He raised his hand grabbing this junior's shoulder and squeezed it firmly in order not to speak anymore.

"Yes, but this is still a rumor. Habib Thalib couldn't touch a woman who wasn't his mahram." Said depressed.

The junior finally realized what his mistake was and looked at Nadira with a guilty look. She bit her lips embarrassedly not daring to say anything more. While his friend was very satisfied with this junior's silent attitude.

Nadira tried to maintain her smile, "Then where are they now?" And habib Thalib?

Is the habib still with Aish or not?

He wanted to spit out this question but for an inexplicable reason, it felt extremely heavy in his heart.

"Sir Nadira saw the crowd, right? They were just sent home from the hospital. The plan will be a trial, but because time is not in favor then the trial is postponed until tomorrow." One of the men answered.

No need to explain what the trial is because Nadira can guess directly. After all, this was unforgivable and he was very grateful that Aish had been rewarded for what he had done today. At least with the punishment tomorrow, Aish can think long again to make trouble and attract the attention of the habib.

"Yes, my dear, I know not. We really want to wriggle this trial but can't because tomorrow we all go back to school." Another said he regretted the postponed trial time.

If there's a trial tonight, they can watch it but if tomorrow, they can't do it because of school. This is very unfortunate.

"It's for your own good. This trial may be very personal because it concerns some things that are so important that we cannot interfere. In addition, this problem also concerns the good name of our boarding school so you should just follow what the cottage wants and listen to the final results. Pondok pesantren certainly hope if this problem can be used as a lesson by everyone."

Nadira explained in a soft and slow voice to his juniors in order to better understand the current situation.

What Nadira said was also known by the juniors but they were still happy to hear it directly from Nadira's lips.

"Alright, you can go back to the dorm and brother will go home to Umi first. There's something you want to talk to Umi about." Nadira hastily broke off the conversation.

Aish's departure is tantamount to peace in this boarding school so no one will be able to resist this idea. After all, from the beginning Aish was also reluctant to stay here so this decision would not make it hard.

After all, a person like Aish, living in a city was much better than living inside a strict boarding school as well as many rules.

Nasifa went home and went straight into Abah's office. Sitting on the sofa, her tired body leaned back with her eyes closed waiting for Abah to return. He was very tired today. Tired of the long journey, tired of thinking about the anger of Habib Thalib to him, and even more tiring was to face his stubborn sister.

He used to hope that his sister would return home soon so that he could spend a lot of time together in the boarding house. Because as a girl who has been engaged, she will soon get married and it is not easy to be with her sister again when she is married later.

But after seeing how stubborn his sister was now, he suddenly had the urge to push his sister back to Egypt to study.

It's better than making trouble here.

"Assalamualaik." Abah walked into the room and was surprised to see her eldest daughter sitting limp on the sofa.

"What's up, son?" Ask Abah gently.

Nasifa opened her eyes, seeing Abah coming over with her gentle, warming smile. Instantly his fatigue instantly became light.

"Change... Nasifa wanted to talk to Abah about something." Said Nasifa while fixing her seat more politely.

Abah sat beside him.

"You're talking about what Abah is? Is this a lesson?" Ask Abah to guess.

Nasifa smiled wryly, shaking her head helplessly. It'd be better that easy.

"Bah, my sister seems to like Habib Thalib. Since returning here he has taken several actions to pursue Habib Thalib. According to Abah, does my brother have a chance to be with habib Thalib?"

...****...

"Assalamualaikum, Nadira home-erah, tonight is a bit special well because everyone is gathered at home. What was? Nadira wants to join you in the discussion." Nadira smiled brightly seeing Abah, Umi, and Nasifa already gathered in the living room.

Usually the house is always lacking some people because there are people who live in dormitories and some are busy in the cottage office until they come home late. As a result, only Nadira and Umi often stay at home.

"It just so happens that you're here. Sit down." Said Abah seriously.

Nadira without hesitation immediately sat in the same chair as Nasifa. Everyone is silent. There was no expression on Nasifa's face nor even Abah's, only Umi who was sitting listlessly in the corner without raising her head. Seeing this, Nadira finally realized something was wrong here.
