The Love of Habib
Chapters 20.6
Fani sees Aira strange, "You don't know? Habib Thalib had just returned home with a woman who was allegedly his future wife. His return with the woman made the boarding house crowded again. This topic of conversation is now being discussed everywhere. I'm surprised you don't know anything about this."
Meanwhile Aira was still pensively digesting the huge information that Fani had said just now.
"Habib Thalib came with his future wife?" Ask not sure.
"Yes, they say she is very beautiful. If you don't believe me, come to Umi's house and see for yourself."
Whatisthis?
Why suddenly a rumor spread that the Habib brought his future wife home.
How could this happen? Habib Thalib can only marry me. He cannot marry another woman! But... But I'm thinking about how Aish's sister is doing right now. She must have been heartbroken to hear this news and I wanted to see what that arrogant face looked like again. Is he still able to look at me with that disgusting haughty look? Or he was now very embarrassed because the rumors he created himself did not work! I am so happy to think about it! Inner Aira was satisfied in the midst of her heartache.
It was fine if the rumors were true, he still had all sorts of ways to snatch the Habib's heart from the woman!
...*****...
The night comes quickly and the room Aish lives in looks very quiet as most of her roommates go home. Now there are 15 or 17 people and the plan is that some of them will also go home tomorrow. While some of them decided to stay in the boarding house.
Tonight they all got together and talked about a lot of things while Aish, Dira and Gisel we have the mood to talk. The three of them lay down on each other's mattresses. If Dira and Aish are one bed then Gisel is alone because Siti has returned home.
"Come to the cafeteria, everyone has gone to the cafeteria. There's only three of us left in this room."
The three of them were invited to go to the cafeteria together by another roommate. But because Aish is in a bad mood and does not want to eat, then Dira and Gisel can not bear to leave him.
"Let's go. I'm hungry too." Aish was sorry to see his two best friends who had to hold back because of him.
"It's not lonely, yeah." Said Dira while looking around.
"It's more peaceful this way." Sahut Gisel relax.
A few minutes walking, they could finally see the brightly lit food booth. There were already many people inside but not as many nights as usual.
"Assynogaal?"
The three of them did not expect to cross paths on the road with Habib Thalib. Habib Thalib came with the woman and the tall man who was thought to be a servant.
"Getishalight." Answer the three.
When Aish saw the woman standing close to the habib, she immediately turned her face looking down. His two hands clenched tightly behind the robe, covering up how complicated he felt now.
"Have not met for a long time. How are you three doing now?" The habib asked with a friendly smile on his handsome face without his woe.
If usually Aish's face will develop a red color every time it meets the habib, but at this time the hue evaporates out of nowhere replaced by a flat expression. It's not a matter of getting back to the old self, it's okay, nothing is missing as well.
"God be kind, habib. We'll go to the dining booth so we won't interfere with habib's time. We're leaving, assalamualaikum." In the presence of the habib Dira did not dare to be strong-witted but could still find a reason to escape. She felt sorry to see her gloomy friend next door.
"Wait." Habib Khalid stopped them from leaving. "I'm asking you, too, but why shut up?" He spoke to Aish.
Dira and Gisel immediately held their breaths. Don't let Aish get into a trance here think the two of them.
