The Love of Habib
Chapters 17.10

Aira was really angry but unfortunately Dira was not at all afraid of seeing the wrathful expression on her face. Not that he was afraid but he was instead very happy because he managed to provoke Aira's anger. It was disgusting to see her every time she put on that false expression, as if she was a white lotus that grew beautifully without the slightest sin, ah whereas her heart was very black.

"Why are you angry? You know, really if you were born from the womb of a stepmother, the snatch of people's husbands. You are not ashamed of acting as if you were a persecuted person all this time, when in fact everywhere the persecuted are the children of the first wife. It's so weird." Reply Dira is not afraid.

The situation looks bad, Aish thinks that the situation is getting worse not because he is afraid but because he knows that here must be the three of them who will be blamed by aunt. Moreover, the person who came here sent Aira may not only be aunt but also it seems like Father also Mother is participating here. Or perhaps worse yet the people who came here more than that and Aish knew that his position would never be right if they saw him.

"Already Dira, let's go back to the dorm. There's no point in talking to them." Ice pulled Dira's hand so she wouldn't talk again.

But aunt and Aira were already too angry, where maybe they would just let go. No, they're not gonna let go.

"Where are you going? after insulting my family you want to just leave? Aisha..oh Aisha, aunty does not know if your behavior is getting worse after moving to the boarding house. Though aunt had hoped big in the house earlier if you turned into a better girl, according, obediently smart and polite. But unfortunately what I saw and heard earlier, instead of getting better, you're getting more disappointing." A woman suddenly appeared from behind, after seeing who it was Aish felt a tightness in his heart. Oh, who else would have come if not his other aunt.

In that house Aish has 3 aunts. The first aunt lived in town A and rarely returned home because she and her husband worked in town A, while the other two aunts lived in their father's house and their small family. The two of them are not good people because no matter how small Aish's mistake in the house will definitely be exaggerated. Aish is tired, actually. But since he was living in that place back then he could say nothing but resist and hence he was denounced as a rebellious child.

"He didn't insult your family but he told the truth. Isn't that the fact that Aira was born from the womb of the one who ruined my Mama's marriage?" Aish retorted grimly, staring at the people who had started to surround Aira.

Ironically, they surrounded me as if I were a scourge and a parasite that had to be exterminated immediately. Strange, aren't they my family but why is their attitude and treatment of me so painful? Aish's inner self held tightness in the chest.

"What the fuck, Aish? Aira is your sister and the Mother is your Mother too. The past hurts but you shouldn't bring the past here. After all you were just a child, you had no idea what was going on with the lives of those adults back then. And more importantly Aish, what do you mean by your family? We are your family. Why are you saying such nonsensical words? Your mama would be very upset to hear that and your father would be very disappointed that you didn't consider us your family." Aunty spoke not as loudly as she used to, Aish thought this was probably because they were in the boarding house and not at home. So your aunt may be ashamed to talk too harshly to her as she used to at home. But after noticing her increasingly soft tone of speech, suspicion began to grow in her heart.

But it doesn't matter at all, Aish doesn't care what they think because at the moment she feels that they have nothing to do with it anymore.

"I'll say it honestly now. It was at home every time I spoke you guys would always look for trouble on me. But now no, I'm not letting that happen. I admit that I grew up in that place but it's because Grandpa was with me. And I think the only people I consider family in that house are my grandfather and not you. In fact, the niece you all acknowledge is only Aira and not me. So after you sent me to this place, I already assumed that I had nothing to do with you guys anymore, I don't need to respect you guys anymore, listen to your harsh words again or to any other accusations against me. I am now happy in this place and when I come out later from this place, I will definitely not visit your place. You should be happy to hear it because ever since I got out of that house, you would no longer be disturbed and you would now be satisfied with the life you lived without me." Ais vaporized his heart.

To be honest these words were very painful because deep in his heart he always considered that his father's family was his family as well even though their attitude and actions had always made him sick.

But never mind, enough to get here. If God opens his heart to make room for them to forgive, he will come to see the family again, apologizing sincerely but not intending to be involved in their lives again.

"Rumaisha Aisha! What did you just say!"

Aish did not flinch with Aunt's clasping at him.

But seeing her like this, Dira and Gisel were extremely frightened. They didn't expect Aish to come up with such cruel words even though honestly it was the best choice for their best friend but getting them out directly the heart must have hurt.

"I'm serious, I won't bother you anymore. Relax, I will also not ask for money from you because my mother has prepared a large enough savings to support me in the future."

As soon as the word savings was mentioned Bibi's expression immediately changed, it was clear that they were very interested in the savings in Aish's hands.

The faces of aunt and Aira were very out of sync with the present situation. There was a bright twinkle in their eyes. Money may have ignited greed in their hearts.

Aunty's face was very anxious, she would make a sound to melt Aish's heart, but before that happened, a heavy, opiate voice called out Aish's name.

"Aish, come here." Habib Khalid called.

Aish surprised. Because he was too busy talking, he forgot that Habib Khalid was still here. Embarrassed, he hurriedly rubbed his shoulder face and turned to approach Habib Khalid.

"Habib Talib..." Aira was immediately anxious to see Aish approaching Habib Khalid.

Both of her aunts saw a tall and handsome man chatting with Aish now, unaware it was Khalid's previous hubib. If they knew, the debate would definitely not have expanded to preserve Aira's self-esteem.

"Come samperin, say hello to him." Persuade one of the aunts to Aira.

"Yo grandma drop by, this place is not your home so you can act as you please. This is a boarding school where honest and sincere people always take precedence. As for your beloved niece..huh, isn't she too hypocritical?" Dira again mocked, preventing Aira to do anything, especially to interfere with the event of his best friend's approach with habib Khalid.
