The Love of Habib
Chapters 19.4

Some girls immediately felt astonished. Since they were both brothers and as Aira said before that she loved Aish very much, then it was only natural for Aira to defend Aish desperately. Normally every brotherhood has strong empathy, regardless of whether Aira sees it or not, she could have defended Aish stubbornly because the one who knows Aish's attitude and habits the most is Aira herself.

"The boarding school had CCTV footage of the day, and from Aish's and her two best friends' confessions, Abah was convinced that they did not intend to steal the bike but just wanted to borrow it. And do you know that Aira, the person who brought the CCTV evidence, was the habib of Thalib. Because of the help of this Habib Thalib, your brother was acquitted of severe punishment. In fact Aish and his two friends are actually being framed by Sayid Khalif. This disguise was revealed by Abah during the trial yesterday and therefore Khalif was whipped 30 times while Aish and his two friends only plowed the fields one day."

This explanation is short but detailed enough to describe what points were obtained during the trial yesterday. For people who care about this problem, the storyline is well known and not an open secret anymore. This problem increasingly makes the name of Aish and his two best friends increasingly the subject of conversation. There are many pros and cons.

"One more time, after getting a whip sentence of 30 times, the Khalif was also sentenced to plough the fields for 2 days for his actions dare to slander and cause accidents to others. God willing, the most amazing thing about this matter is that Aish and his two friends forgave the Caliph for his actions. Though the three of them could have demanded to leave a deterrent effect to the Caliph, but their hearts softened and chose to forget about this matter."

One by one the voices admiring Aish again haunted her ears. Aira clenched her hands holding back the anger. It could be that this innocent and pretentious person trusted Aish just because of a small charade. Really stupid. And even more astonishingly whenever he tried to provoke people, they would all not be provoked and instead give a positive review to Aish.

Aira had never expected this situation to happen to her at all. He thinks these people are easy to manipulate and helps him excommunicate Aish in the boarding house, but look! he had to rack his brain to make another plan.

"Thank God I'm glad to hear that, Aish's change is huge. I didn't mean to doubt my brother. In the old town Aish's sister had pretty bad behavior so I... It's kind of hard to believe..." Aira smiled dryly.

Bener, I he has to think of a way to defeat Aish's brother here. I don't want him to be close to Habib Thalib anymore. Inner Aira thought hard.

He had to separate the habib Khalid with Aish, oh, rather he had to get rid of Aish so as not to disturb the habib again. He believes that the habib must feel uncomfortable because of constant harassment by Aish. What kind of pious man would be bothered by a dirty and low-science woman like Aish? Other than a pretty face and money in hand, Aish had no advantages whatsoever she thought.

"Aira, your sister has completely changed. He has become a good man. If you miss us, we can drive you tonight."

Aira tried to maintain a gentle smile on her face.

"Thank you." Hesitate.

*****

In the evening after finishing the prayer and reading the Qur'an in the mosque, Aira and his roommates went straight to the cafeteria. This is very new for Aira. He had never tasted mass eating with so many people. There is a barrier for santri men and santriwati. And in each barrier there are small holes that are deliberately made by someone or because they are inedible with age. They were peering at each other from these little holes. Aira was immediately interested.

"It turns out the boarding house isn't as bad as I imagined." He murmured while staring in any direction.

Due to the school and dorm problems this morning, he had a bad impression of the boarding school. The name of the scene inside the canteen tonight instantly opened his eyes. There are a lot of good looking guys as well. Their appearance was on average better than the men in the city. They are not many styles but their attitudes and behaviors have a huge appeal. Aira was amazed to see it.

"Pantes aja kak Aish at home here."

But their good looks and attractiveness could not defeat that of Habib Khalid.

"Right, where's Habib Thalib?" Since entering the canteen, the Aira saw most of the ustad and ustazah. They are in charge of supervising students and santriwati in the canteen.

"Habib Talib rarely comes here. He's busy in the cabin." Answer his roommate.

Unintentionally his eyes caught Aish's position being surrounded by many people. Those people talk a lot to Aish, I don't know what they're talking about Aira can hear it, but surely he sees that he will occasionally laugh, smile, and even blush in shame.

Aira was immediately envious of seeing it.

Someday that position will also be mine. Inner jealousy.

...*****...

"Nasha, why do you squirm Aish? You have a problem with him?"

At the table not far from where Aish and her roommates were sitting, there was Nasha who was secretly watching Aish. I don't know what she's thinking right now because her eyes are so hard to turn away from Aish's pretty face.

"Naudzubillah, why do I have a problem with him? We often greeted politely whenever we met." Denying Nasha.

"Yes, who knows, right?"

Nasha smiled faintly as she shook her helpless head. What in the eyes of his friends was he the short-spiced type of person?

"I'm just amazed at him. Without us knowing he already has many friends and admired by many people. So I'm not surprised to see him close to the habib of Thalib."

Hearing the name of Habib Khalid called, the attention of his friends was immediately diverted.

"Near what do you mean? It's just a rumor, right?"

If he had not seen the interaction between the two of them earlier this morning then he would have the same opinion as his friends. But he saw it, to be honest, he couldn't lie to himself that what he saw this morning was true and it wasn't just humor.

"What do you think that habib Thalib and Aish do have a relationship or even walk into a serious realm?" Instead of answering his friend's question, he asked back.

His friends are confused.

"Yes that is the right habib Thalib, but if asked my opinion yes honestly I feel that the pair habib Thalib better I hehehe... But if they are together... It's nothing at all. Looking at it, the two of them are actually compatible." One of his friends replied in a joking tone and immediately invited ridicule from the other friends.

"Lho, it's not a habib of Thalib, huh?" Nasha and her friends instantly compactly look at the entrance of the canteen.

Instantly the cafeteria that had been noisy immediately remained silent. Everyone's attention was immediately seized by the presence of the habib. Tonight the habib wears a navy blue cocoa shirt with black panties, as well as a black peci that is never forgotten. As usual she would greet them all with a gentle and friendly smile, a smile that always made the hearts of the sisters beat fast.

"Aren't you paying attention that Habib Thalib had something in his hand?"
