The Love of Habib
Chapters 17.14
This request is a bit excessive because Abah has never heard of this request coming out of a single santri or santriwati who go to the boarding school. Instead of asking for leniency they ask that their children be given strict discipline in order to grow into good and moral human beings.
"Don't worry, as long as he stays obedient and follows our rules then his life will be better." Sahut Abah is short.
Umi chimed in, "Aira looks like my daughter who just returned from Egypt yesterday. When I first saw her I missed my daughter, and my daughter is studying in her class right now. Aira Umi was happy to meet you. If you want, come to Umi's house to play with my second daughter. His name is Nadira, you guys must be familiar when you meet later."
Aira was very happy to hear that. This is good news fortunately. Without the slightest hesitation he immediately nodded his head in high spirits.
"Thank you, Umi. It's an honor for me to be friends with Nadira." His words were gentle and polite.
Umi was satisfied to see it.

The three of them happily went to the front parking lot. There's been waiting for Habib Khalid in the car. Without further ado, they got into the car. And just like the last time Gisel and Dira consciously sat in the back, while Aish timidly sat in the front seat opposite the habib.
No one commented. Both Gisel and Dira sat dutifully behind without making any sounds or gestures that could offend the Habib Khalid. They've all been punished enough tomorrow and they think that habib Khalid's annoyance is honestly a bit scary.
So they acted as statues in the car watching in silence the two people in front.
Unlike their expectations along the way, these two people did not speak or have any interaction. Aish only he lowered his head and occasionally stole a glance towards Habib Khalid, while habib Khalid himself focused on driving forward.
Silent. Until finally 20 minutes later they arrived at the market the last time they came. Although they come a bit during the day but the market still looks crowded with various buying and selling activities inside.
"Let's get down." Habib Khalid parked the car across the street and got out of the car.
Aish, Gisel, and Dira immediately followed. They got out of the car and waited for the next direction from Habib Khalid. They thought they were going to be brought into the market but knew Khalid was taking them into a shop just across the market. Confused they went inside.
"I promised you yesterday I'd give you chocolate, but because of a problem I didn't get out so your order didn't buy it. Now we're in the store so you three can buy whatever you want to buy." Habib Khalid said while looking for a seat.
It turned out that the three of them were brought inside the convenience store and had much better items than the ones in the market.
The three of them were obviously very surprised and did not expect that Habib Khalid would bring them here.
"Can we go shopping now?" Tanya Dira couldn't believe it.
Habib Khalid glanced at the watch on his left wrist without turning his head towards Dira.
"When you three have an hour more than this I won't give you a chance." Cetus habib Khalid sat himself at a table adjacent to the shop window.
The three of them were very happy. After thanking Dira and Gisel immediately ran away buying whatever they wanted.
"Sister Khalid was very good. Me and my two best friends thank you." Aish said sincerely.
"Pend whatever you want." We habib Khalid ignored the shocked expression on Aish's red face.
"This is too much, brother. I already have money. I can use my own money to shop." Reject Aish shy.
Habib Khalid reached back to his wallet and wanted to spend some more money.
"More or less?" Ask.
Aish was very frightened and hurriedly replied.
"No, no, no! I really brought money, brother. If you don't believe me, just look at the money in my pocket." Aish wants to put money in his pocket but Khalid's habib moves faster than he does.
"So it's less." Flat language.
Seeing the actions of Habib Khalid, Aish knew that Habib Khalid did not want to be rejected. This money was given to him then he had to spend it at any cost. Honestly, Aish is not short on money. He had a lot of money, a lot of savings from his parents and his Mama's family, so he didn't need any money from Khalid's habib or anyone else. But it would be a lie if he felt untouchable to see how good habib Khalid was to give such easy money to him. Habib Khalid was an outsider and habib Khalid had not known himself well, they were both very foreign at first. But what was strange was that Khalid's habib's treatment of him was far better than that of his father's family. Ironic indeed.
"Enough, enough, brother. Thank ye. I'll spend this money as best I can." Aish stop.
Habib Khalid looked satisfied.
"Good."
After saying thank you repeatedly Aish went straight towards her two friends with a red hue on the face. Her pretty face looked extremely red, as red as a boiled crab. Her beautiful face now looks more charming, very beautiful.
"Eh, are you given money as habib Thalib?" Dira and Gisel instantly pull Aish into hiding on one of the food shelves.
The magazine is hot. But he did not hide his pride.
"Yes dong, I'm given 500,000 know not the same brother Khalid." Show off Aish while spending 500,000 gifts from Brother Khalid.
Once again Dira and Gisel immediately felt envious seeing Aish so lucky. Aish and Habib Khalid approach only. Their relationship has not gotten to a serious stage but why is Habib Khalid's concern for Aish so good, as if they are in a relationship.
"Great son of you, Aish. Nothing has been given money yet. Tomorrow if you marry, you will be given what is the same habib Thalib?" Gisel looked at envy.
Thinking of Aish's marriage began to soar.
"Just something you won't get. Ah, I want to go shopping first. We rarely get out."
The thoughts of his two best friends were instantly sidetracked. Without further ado, the three of them took the basket and chose what food to buy and what needs to be replenished. Because they are too busy shopping unconsciously, they forget their purpose of coming to the market
