The Love of Habib
Chapters 20.2

Everything happened so suddenly, no one ever expected this disaster would come to their home. The company that had been running solidly and well suddenly collapsed just overnight. Who would feel fine after seeing all this?

No, everyone's heart was filled with anxious feelings.

"Oh my God, Mother... What is going on with our company? Why did they suddenly break off the cooperation relationship with us? Our company.... It's always been okay, hasn't it? Dad also never took time off and was always there on time, so how could we..." Aira was unable to continue her words anymore.

That company is their backbone, their financial source. If the company collapses then where should they make a living?

Do they have to repeat from zero? The costs required are much greater and do not instantly become successful just because they are replaying. So what do they have to do to save him?

Of course trying to find financial funds?

Over where?

Wherever and wherever, no one cares as long as everything can be paid.

"It's a test, son. Already.don't be too thoughtful. This is the parents' business. You are still a child and you need to focus on learning. Mommy believes our company must be fine so you don't have to worry." Mother regretted telling this matter to her daughter.

Now his daughter is thinking.

"Aira knows Mother. About dana... Why don't we borrow from Aish's sister? He's got a lot of money still untouched." Aira suddenly remembered with a mountain of Aish savings that were still unused.

Since he can't get it then just sacrifice the money for the family. Aish also comes from the same family and must help to save their family.

"Don't think about it. Your Uncle and Aunt and Grandma have brought up this topic. But it was rejected by Dad and Grandpa. They won't let us use that money. And if we're desperate to use it, then Mama Aish's family will intervene. It's money from their family so we can't touch it. Forget about this money thing, son. We can still borrow from others." Mommy is very sorry for it and hopes to use the money as well to save the family economy.

But Father and Grandfather did not agree, if they were reckless then the family of Mama Aish will also intervene.

"Aira understands. I'm just giving you a solution. Since it couldn't help then Aira could only pray from here." Aira said grimly.

It's annoying to think. Mama Aish's family is like a disturbing parasite. If there were no them then the family would be fine by now.

After talking for a while with Mother, Aira was asked to hang up the phone because time was up.

Sighing heavily, Aira came out of the phone booth and walked home to her dorm. Fortunately, today is Sunday, apart from religious activities they have nothing to do and can rest.

So Aira spent her time sleeping, making up for her sacrificed sleep time to wake up to night prayers.

...*****...

Aish stretched her achy body because she was too cool to learn to review the exam today. Today is exactly a month after habib Khalid went out of town. To this day, there has been no news of him. Lying if Aish doesn't feel anxious. He really misses the habib and at the same time is very angry because the habib reneged on his promise. He said he would be home in 2 weeks, but a month had passed and there was no news. All the exams in the boarding school were even passed without seeing his figure though. Aish disappointed. The name despite his disappointment he never stopped his learning activities. There is a voice in the heart that always says that the habib will come home soon and he must be patient.

"Where are you going?" Aish was dumbfounded to see the roommates start packing their things.

"We're going home Aish. This is our last day of exams and after this we have no more activities in the boarding house. So the boarding house allowed us to go home for a week while waiting for our final test scores to come out." Siti replied with a smile on her face.

"Come home?" Aish just heard this news now.

"You don't know, do you? No wonder why this time you are too focused on learning and sometimes you forget the time because it is too cool to learn." Siti was very impressed by this roommate change.

I don't know what makes Aish so motivated to learn, but the changes are obvious. And the most surprising thing is that Aish turned out to be very easy to learn. He was not too difficult to understand something and made the teachers like him. It turns out that Aish's low grades in school weren't because Aish was stupid but because she was lazy to learn. Just look at this time, in diligent learning and its value also grew rapidly. Even the friends in the class are suspicious that Aish can enter the top 10 of this exam.

"Well..." Aish scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Do we have to go home?" He didn't want to go home because he didn't have a place in the house.

"If you don't want to go home it's okay. Pesantren cottage is not obligatory. And many santri and santriwati who choose to stay in the boarding school until the value results out, so the boarding school is never quiet."

Aish was immediately relieved to hear it.

"Oh, then I'm not going home. By the way where are Gisel and Dira?" He was sure they wouldn't.

"They're both in the cafeteria. He said he wanted to buy fried food to quench their thirst because of the test." Siti smiled amusedly.

"That kid!"

After saying a few words with Siti, she then closed her book and went out looking for the whereabouts of the two of them.

Fortunately the dormitory canteen is still open and this is the last day it opens because this canteen is only opened when the boarding school holds an exam. Honestly, the food in the dormitory canteen is much better than the food in the boarding house canteen that is always open every day. In addition, the dormitory canteen does not limit purchases and is very close so during the exam the students rarely go to the boarding school cafeteria for shopping.

"Aish you're here!" From far away Dira and Gisel ran fast.

Their hijab tilts because of running.

"What's wrong?" Aish asked cutely as she reached out her hand to fix the hijab of her two best friends.

"Aish there's important news!" Said Dira ngos-ngosan.

"What news?" Tanya Aish was not too interested.

"Habib Thalib is home!" Gisel said bringing glad tidings.

But before Aish is really happy, Dira immediately drops a bomb on Aish.

"But go home to another woman! Said she was the future wife of habib Thalib!"

Sret

Aish's heart throbbed pain.
