The Love of Habib
Chapters 19.15

"Don't say much, next time I'll see you again." Dira said scowling because it was mocked by the Khalif.

The Caliph must be laughing at his ridiculousness right now. He regretted it too. How foolish he was not to realize that time was already noon. Maybe being stuck in grief made her forget everything. But talking to the Caliph made him forget his sadness for a moment. Though from earlier he continued to cry despite being held as hard as he could, but in front of the Caliph his tears were reluctant to come out. Are her tears shy?

Just-there's.

"Whatever. It's not my intention to meet you here either." The Caliph shrugged his shoulders not caring. Unconsciously his tone was not as loud as usual when meeting with Dira.

After all, he is also a man. How could his heart continue to be hard on a woman who is sad and crying. Because he understood so he did not make a fuss with Dira anymore. But this episode only applies today because if they meet again at another time, he will not be this good.

"Oh yes by the way, you and habib Thalib are from the same nasab. Are you a family?" Dira purely asked out of curiosity.

When he heard the name of Habib Khalid mentioned, the Khalif immediately snorted unhappily. They may be from the same family but that does not mean they are from the same family. In addition, Khalif did not like to be compared or juxtaposed with habib Khalid, his love rival.

"We are not a family of just one member. Should we be one family because we are from the same community?" Said judes.

Dira was confused to hear the change in his voice. From his voice Dira guessed that the Caliph might not be too fond of the habib of Thalib. Isn't this weird?

When many people idolized the habib in the boarding school, this boy did not like him.

"It doesn't have to be. But you can't say it normally, don't say it. I'm just curious because you guys have such a big difference. Look at Habib Thalib, he shines wherever he goes. As for you, why don't I ever see you with anyone else every time we meet?" Said Dira accidentally piercing the pain point in the heart of Khalif.

Khalif is just an sayid. His science is still not high and besides that he also has a bad impression in front of many students. Actually Khalif used to live relaxed in the city first. He did not study or study books like his other brothers. Times have advanced so he thought that it is better to follow the times than using pants or sarong everywhere. His relaxed life made both his parents worried so they decided to send the Caliph to this boarding school. Their hope the Caliph would change and give up his free life while in the city first.

The Caliph never lived as freely as other children. He doesn't drink, doesn't date, touch women, or play with women. He still understood his limits as a man and he was also ashamed of the noble blood flowing in his body. So he tried his best to control his company. It was just that his family disagreed and were not happy with this lifestyle. His family thought that the Caliph needed a strict education so as not to stray into a perverse path. Then be he sent here.

At first he balked at being sent here but upon learning that his first love turned out to be the daughter of the owner of this boarding school, he finally willingly went here. Unexpectedly when he came here he met his love rival, habib Khalid, the charm he had made the Khalif feel anxious when Nadira was lost.

And he was increasingly anxious when he heard the many rumors circulating in the boarding school about the proximity of the habib with Nadira. Not only that, the two of them were also betrothed by many people and managed to make the Khalif angry.

"Every human being is created to have a different character. Why should I follow him just because he shines wherever he goes? And it was only natural that he shone wherever he went because his education was high and he was also born handsome. Yeah, I really don't care the truth." Despite his anger, he never lied to himself that the habib was indeed superior to him.

Just look at the cold reaction of the Caliph who seemed reluctant to talk about this matter. It feels like it would be bargaining if it continues. Shifting his gaze to see the Khalif's stiff back, Dira briefly assesses if the Khalif's back has problems. And he suddenly remembered that one week ago the Caliph had already served his sentence.30 lashes, was not a light punishment. He heard from the santriwati in the room, during the punishment executed the Khalif never fainted at all and his back never sagged as if the whip that hit his back was not as painful as people think.

"You..." His voice hesitated, "Are you all right?" Ask Dira carefully.

Khalif lowered his head.

"It's okay. He'll recover soon." Said cold.

Seeing this Dira felt very guilty. Although this was a mistake made by the Caliph to slander the three of them, but in fact he could not bear to see the Caliph getting a very harsh punishment. Because of this guilt he tried to ignore every news that was spread in the boarding school about the Caliph. But because the news is too heralded by the santriwati and santri, inevitably do not hear the news as well. But actually he didn't want to.

"Oh..." Dira was silent, he did not know what to say.

"I'm sorry." Suddenly the Caliph said this.

"What?" Dira surprise.

"I'm sorry. Please apologize to your other two friends." Khalif repeated what he said humbly.

After pondering over these few days, he realized that his actions had damaged the good reputation of the three of them. He also realized that ruining their reputation was tantamount to ruining the future of the three of them. Even Uminya to tears heard all his evil actions to the three sisters. To make her aware, Umi asks how does she feel if one of the defamed girls is her own sister?

It definitely hurts. Where could he possibly accept it. He'll be very angry.

And now he regrets it. But fortunately his crimes were dismantled so that the good name when the santriwati was not polluted.

"That problem..." Dira scratched his head that did not itch, it was awkward to hear the Khalif suddenly apologized. Among all the scenarios, he never expected that one day the Khalif would apologize and admit his mistake.

"Don't think too much because we've forgiven you. I also want to apologize for embarrassing you in front of so many people."

Khalif smiled faintly, "That's no big deal. I've forgotten it."
