The Love of Habib
Chapters 16.10
Aish immediately goosebumps hearing the tone of the voice of the habib who is getting lower. Fortunately this was at night and there were no lights, so he could not see the expression of Habib Khalid now. If not, then Aish did not know what to do when he saw her.
Aish lowered her head down, avoiding the gaze of the habib's eyes that so clearly highlighted her like a floodlight.
"Cabin." Habib Khalid.
Aish asked hesitantly,"What?"
Habib Khalid extended his hand to the window right in front of Aish's face. He was very frightened to see it and immediately retreated backwards.
"Sister Khalid, what's the matter?" Tanya Aish was nervous.
"Cabin." Urge habib Khalid without intention to answer his curiosity.
"But..." Aish hesitate. Habib Khalid wouldn't do anything weird, would he?
To be honest it was nothing, and arguably Aish was very happy if Habib Khalid did something strange to him. But with the premise of habib Khalid was not angry!
If you get angry, it's another story!
Duh, Aish really resigned yes if the same habib Khalid?! His mind wondered too.
"Don't say much. Come here." Come here." Urge habib Khalid from across the window.
Aish glanced at the hand of habib Khalid who moved to give the code for him to come closer. His heart was pounding, nervously he began to close himself to the window, leaving only a few inches with the hand of Habib Khalid.
Not finished he spoke, the hand of Habib Khalid suddenly moved shortening the distance to leave no distance. The big hand touched Aish's right cheek and pinched it as hard as possible until Aish grimaced in pain.
Habib Khalid only pinched it in less than three seconds, but the effect was extremely painful.
"It hurts!" Aish immediately held onto his right cheek which had just been pinched by the habib.
It was very painful and hot, not excessive if Aish felt when his right cheek began to swell due to the fact, Aish's right cheek looked very red at the moment.
"So you know what it hurts." Habib Khalid made Aish both embarrassed and disappointed.
At least habib Khalid regretted his actions if there was no apology. But what he saw was that habib Khalid did not regret his actions at all. His cheek hurt.
"Sister Khalid was very happy. Aish's cheeks are sick." Aish said complaining.
Habib Khalid smiled slanted, "If you know you are sick, then work hard to learn and memorize. Don't stay here without making any changes. If you can't make a change for society at large, then at least make a change for yourself. Transform yourself into a better, more reliable, and more capable girl. Don't just stand still without making any moves because if you just stay still, then aren't you no different from a wasted human being?" Although these words contained kindness and advice for him, Aish remained uncomfortable because what Habib Khalid had told him was too sharp and scathing.
Never before had he seen habib this hard on him and once heard, Aish's heart ached beyond measure. She was ashamed, very ashamed. But more than anything, there was a feeling of disappointment hearing the sharp words of the habib just now.
"Aish.kan is still learning. And brother Khalid knew for himself that any change requires a lot of process. Aish can't just memorize one juice a day." Said Aish making a defense.
"I know, did I ever ask you to memorize one juice a day? No, right? I'm not asking you to do that but I'm asking you to make a change and not be too lazy, Aish! What I see now is that you are still reluctant to move forward and are more comfortable with your current self. Honestly, I'm disappointed to see this result."
