The Love of Habib
Chapters 19.2

Aish was stunned, his eyeballs instantly enlarged forgetting to blink when he saw the habib's handsome face. The charm was like magic that instantly hit Aish's most fragile defense in his heart.

"You know what?" Ask habib to repeat the question.

Seeing Aish who was fixated on seeing him without being able to speak was a pride in itself in the habib.

"Ah. I want to know, brother. What does sister mean?" He instantly realized. His face was embarrassed because he was caught daydreaming in front of the habib.

"Secret." The habib said he did not want to tell the truth.

"Yes?" He hasn't yet.

"It's a secret." Press the habib while taking one step back.

Habib's steps are so natural. There was no panicked or nervous expression on his face as if he was afraid of being seen by others. Although their distance was now enlarged, but the gentle smile of the habib that never faded always gave the illusion that they both had no distance.

This feeling is so sweet. Aish wonders in her heart maybe this is what people feel when they are in love.

"Why secret?" Want him to ask.

Turning his face to look at the expanse of sky above, the habib then replied in a low voice.

"Why? That's the rule. If I say it now, then the halal will fall into haram. But someday you'll know."

He was silent. It was not that he did not understand the meaning of the habib's talk, no, he understood what it meant. This is a secret. But he did not understand at all what the habib said. One day, halal becomes haram and a written rule. None of these words were understood by Aish.

He just didn't dare to ask. His heart was curious. But this is a secret and the Habib is reluctant to say it. Therefore he respected the decision of the habib.

"Nasha, take the three of them back to the dorm. Today's punishment is enough to get here. Despite this punishment does not mean that the three of you are free. Because I was planning on talking it over with Abah to shift the punishment of the three of you. It might take a day or two to confirm, so you'll just wait for Nasha."

Aish, Dira and Gisel instantly blocked the breath of relief hearing what Habib Khalid had said. There is nothing more comforting than this good news. Parting from what they hate the most, they feel they should be happy.

"But Aish," habib Khalid suddenly recalled something.

The ears of the three of them immediately stood up intending to eavesdrop clearly on what habib Khalid had told Aish. Especially for Nasha herself, the one who was most shocked at how close the two of them were.

"Yes, brother?" Aish with a timid smile looked at the habib. May the habib always say sweet things to him, so he has prepared his heart not to be too shaken.

As if sending cold water on his wishful thinking, the habib then said, "Don't forget your rote deposit for a few more days."

Aish's pouting expression was somewhat laughable. I don't know why both hands of the habib itchy want to pinch his chubby cheeks that glow bright.

"certainly, sis. I will definitely not forget it." Aish smiled dryly.

Ah, this is so embarrassing. He may dream in front of the Habib. Fortunately the habib could not telepathize or read his mind, if he did, where would he put his face now?

"What about us habib Thalib? Do we also have to memorize like Aish?" Dira foolishly asked.

Gisel's claws instantly floated in the air, anxious to pull his best friend's ear. This task was only directed to Aish. So this is the reason why some of this time Aish often mojok alone while holding the prayer of the Koran. But Dira, O Allah. Why ask this? Isn't their job to memorize in school alone enough to make a headache? Want to add more tasks from the habib?

Habib Khalid blinked lightly and replied in a very humble tone of voice, "Take it. The three of you memorize the amma juz and deposit it in a few more days at Umi's house. This is my direct duty, my hope that you can memorize completely all the letters in the juz amma. If you let me down, then I don't mind giving you punishment."

Dira was dumbfounded on the spot. And he only realized that this task was not for them but only for Aish. Stupidly, he asked the same thing!

Can time be replayed? Inner crying.

"Thank you, brother Khalid. We promise to complete this task and not disappoint Brother Khalid." Aish hurriedly thanked him before Dira said any words of rejection. And far from his heart he was very grateful to his clever and intelligent friend, if not for his genius question before, then only he would suffer from memorizing the juz amma alone. Now the three of them are doing it together and this suffering is being felt together, really, this friendship is very deep.

"I.i.m..." Dira looked at Aish and Gisel with a depressed expression on his face.

"good. Now go back to your dorms and don't catch a cold. Wait for my next confirmation via Nasha. If it is decided what punishment you will get to redeem today, Nasha will come looking for the three of you. Everything was clear and I thought there was nothing to ask anymore, then I would move to the next plot of rice fields to keep an eye on the work of the Caliph, assalamualaikum." After giving a few words of advice, Habib Khalid then resigned.

"The three of you are very lucky, rarely does Habib Thalib have compassion for the santri who is serving his sentence." Nasha looked at the envy of the three of them.

Moreover to Aish, this girl was very lucky.

Dira snorted disapprovingly, "What a compassionate one, I got more and more dizzy after getting another new assignment from Habib Thalib. Think about it, we have to get memorization assignments from school and from ustadzahs in the mosque, then now there is another Thalib habib who adds to our rote duties? I feel that I'm going crazy." Dira complained to Nasha and the others.

The school in the boarding house was really not easy. In addition to adapting to rules and lessons they did not know and had never heard before, they were also encouraged to memorize the Koran. The problem is, memorization deposits in schools and memorization deposits in mosques are different so they have to struggle hard to set aside their time to memorize. At school they were asked to memorize the contents of a book that was still difficult to read by the three of them. And in the mosque they were asked to memorize the verses of the Quran. Not infrequently they can not play or rest quietly because they are busy memorizing, and now there are additional tasks from the habib. He's very sorry about it.

Seriate...
