The Love of Habib
Chapters 17.12
The faces of second aunt Aira instantly became grim. Their hearts were itching to reach out to Dira and squeeze her brazen mouth. To be honest all this life they had never met a very brash and scathing-mouthed girl like Dira. Well, that's only natural because Dira and Gisel are Aish's playmates, if it's Aira's playmates then maybe their behavior won't be this teaching. They were forced to accept this rude attitude.
In addition here there is also habib Khalid the future husband of their beloved niece. They don't want to spoil the good image of their beloved niece just to serve Aish.
"Son, speak politely to someone older than you. Isn't this the most basic lesson after you get into this boarding school?" Angrily holding aunty spoke as gently as possible to Dira, acting as if the person who spoke rudely to Aish earlier was not her.
Gisel laughed coldly at the change in aunt's face. It was no surprise because Aira herself was like that.
He chimed in, "Auntie, we were taught to respect people older than ourselves but this rule applies if our interlocutors respect us too. But the aunt did not respect us from the beginning of the meeting and directly accused us of disturbing her beloved niece, when in fact it was her beloved niece who disturbed us first. And to be honest we're so sick of just looking at his face." Tukas Gisel cynical.
His tone was as bad as the expression on his face, as if his eyes were looking at disgusting filth. It was not at all disguised and it would be foolish if aunt and Aira could not see it. They saw it and instantly understood it, it could be seen from the color change on their faces.
The expression on the aunt's face looks constipated.
"Friendship with Aish makes you a very brash kid. Stay away from Aish so that your life will be saved in this world and not grow up to be a disobedient child." Grim aunt's message.
Aira was furious in her heart but she was all her might controlling that anger. He always warned himself that he was now in the boarding house and not at home.
His heart was claustrophobic and ill humiliated by people he had once controlled before. And he grew even more sick when he heard their insults towards his mother, the woman who had given birth to him in this world.
"Grandma's drop by oh grandma drop by, the person we should have stayed away from is your beloved niece and not Aish. Your niece is the most holy-spirited, pious-ass, and sick-ass pretender. But the fact is he is a black-hearted person and always toying with people's feelings. Just look at his double-faced face now, where's the veil and why didn't he use the veil here? though the veil was always he was proud in the city first. Huh, fake shit." Dira chimed in by speaking bluntly that Aira was a very cunning and black-hearted girl. Everything he had was a falsehood because in fact Aira was not as good as she looked.
Aira's face was very red from embarrassment and anger. His brown eyes started to ripple looking pitiful. Both aunts immediately became anxious when they saw their beloved niece being demonized by others.
They opened their mouths to reply but Aira's hand first prevented them from speaking. He should play his role well at the moment.
"I don't know what Aish's sister said about me to you two. But for sure I want to say that I'm very sorry about the past and I want to apologize, especially to Gisel. I'm full of flaws but I didn't mean to fool you at all. I just wanted to give a little help to the problem at that time, I never thought it would end up like this. For the past I also want to apologize to Aish's sister. Because of my jailing until I entered the hospital, Aish's brother was forced to be sent here. That's why I came to this place. I want to mend our relationship as a family, just like we used to." Aira spoke with her head bowed, looking solemn but having a touch of pity upon seeing the wistful expression on her face.
Her two aunts who were standing at the side also felt the pain of seeing Aira like this. They embraced Aira's thin back, stroking her gently to comfort her.
"Still on a show, you are indeed a shameless person." Dira said disgustedly.
They still wanted to argue again but Aish hurriedly called out to Gisel and Dira before the debate went any further. In addition Aish also wants to leave here immediately because he does not want to meet with Dad. It would be awkward if they met later. Moreover, he had already said that he did not want to be in contact with this family anymore, so for a while it was better to keep a distance until his heart became much calmer.
"Gisel, Dira, come here." Call Aish reluctantly to bring her legs to their place.
Dira and Gisel did not speak anymore, they immediately turned towards Aish. They never paid any attention to Habib Khalid because they were too busy arguing and they also did not know since when habib Khalid left Aish alone.
"What did you eat?" Ask Gisel prank.
His best friend's mouth was moving like he was poking at something.
Aish felt the sweetness of the candy in her mouth, the sweetness spread into her heart and she smiled gently.
"Candy, this is a gift from brother Khalid. You're not gonna get any part of it, Dad." Aish showed off to his two best friends.
Dira and Gisel stared enviously at Aish. Even though it is only a small piece of candy but still it is a gift from the person you like and the position must be very expensive.
"Cih, show off." Dira Syndir.
Aish shrugged her shoulders indifferently and instead rejoiced at the jealous spies of her two best friends.
"Keep, back to the dorm?" Ask Dira.
Aish smiled widely without caring about aunt and Aira who was still standing awkwardly far away there. The three people are currently watching him. He shook his head amusedly without hiding the enthusiasm on his face.
"We're not going back to the dorm but we're going to go with Khalid to the market. Because tomorrow we will start work so today we will go to the market to buy the needs that we will use in the fields tomorrow." Aish explained.
