The Love of Habib
Chapters 22.2
It feels like seeing the idol grieving for remembering the past. She had never seen how Aish lived in that house. But she knew me that her lover was often hurt by being sidelined by that family. A few months ago when she came to visit the house to look for Grandpa as a reminder that it was time to send Aish away, she saw that everyone's attention was only on Aira. They spoke softly and sweetly of Aira to attract her attention to Aira. At that time he could not say how his heart was feeling. He just thinks that this is how a family that is favoritism and too trusting of the arrival of new people. Trusting Mother Aira too much makes them forget that Aish also once had a Mother whom they had pushed slowly with the brink of destruction.
Habib Khalid does not say that all stepmothers are bad people, but the average stepmother never has a good attitude to the child. They tend to hurt or ignore other children and respect their own children more. This is a fact that has never been a secret in society. A good father will not put forward selfish feelings to satisfy desires. A good father will think hard whether the new woman he chooses to enter into his life is a good mother to his children?
Sometimes a father doesn't know that the woman they love and bring home is a source of hurt for children born to other women.
"Sister Khalid... It's not. I remember the past... But I'm not sad. Like brother Khalid said I won't be sad as long as there's a brother here. I felt like all this was like a dream to me. The man who was idolized by many women and also liked by my sister turned out to harbor feelings for me. He was so attentive again, everything felt like a dream. Oh yeah, by the way I found a proposal from my sister last night. Has Khalid ever read his proposal?" When he mentioned Aira's name, he suddenly recalled the proposal he had read last night.
The proposal is well written and well-mannered writing. Her strengths and accomplishments are written to show that she is a good girl. Then there are also shortcomings that Aish thinks are made up. Because as an observer and had lived a long time with him, Aish felt that he had many shortcomings but not written down.
Broadly speaking, he felt funny with the writing of his sister. It was strange that he saw Aira wanting her lover.
"No, I didn't even know he was sending a proposal. To be honest, I never opened any of the proposals that were sent to me. And what's even more strange is that I don't wait for proposals from you because I know that if you're not that kind of girl, you don't like being too formal." Habib Khalid answered with a look that didn't matter in the face. Another case when about Aish, he smiled amusedly. Whatever part is concerned with Aish always has a sweet and funny taste, she has no idea why she has this feeling every time she thinks of Aish.
Aish had expected this answer and she was always happy every time she heard it. But he also found it funny because habib Khalid knew himself well. Just like habib Khalid said, he is not that type of person. He will not send a proposal to Habib Khalid.
"I'm glad to hear that. Haha... You can imagine how shocked she would be to know that my sister is my lover. God, I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time!" He patted his thigh hard.
Habib Khalid frowned dislike. He pulls Aish's hand away from the thigh and does not let go.
"What's wrong?"
Aish smiled shyly, her cheeks felt swollen so shy.
He wished they had relationship status. Without her status she would not feel safe as if Habib Khalid could go to another woman at any time.
Understanding the hope in the heart of the lover, Habib Khalid's heart softened. She held tightly to the lover's hand while looking at him gently, "I don't like dating, but you should know that our relationship exceeds the word 'dating'. Courtship cannot show the status of our relationship so you can call our relationship a 'lover' partner'. One thing you must know, my beloved, you will always be the ruler of this heart. Didn't I say last night that I was the first to love you? Then it means that since I fell in love with you, in this heart it is always about you. This never changes until this second which indicates that your position is unshakable. And you must know that my feelings are very deep, if the world and its people leave you then know that I am the only one who will come to you. Just me... got it?" Habib Khalid could not explain how much he felt about Aish. That's too hard to explain. But he promises with all his heart that he is the last person in the world who will always look after, seek, and protect him.
Call it this feeling is ingrained to the stage where people prefer to call it a 'monster' or something like that. Habib Khalid did not care. Because the feelings in his heart do not wish God, try as much as possible not to make God jealous, and he also tries to make God happy with these feelings. He only remembered this and forgot the views of others. The blessing of God is enough for everything.
"En, understand." Aish's whisper limp.
Just listening to the confession of Habib Khalid made himself weak, what if they had gone into a more serious stage?
Aish couldn't imagine it.
Subduing his head in embarrassment, he pretended to focus on stirring the porridge in front of him while Habib Khalid helped peel the quail eggs and sent them onto Aish's chicken porridge one by one. After the conversation they fell silent, it was awkward but also sweet, like a handful of honey spilled into each other's hearts. The sweetness is immeasurable.
"Nake?" Habib Khalid lowered his head to ask the lover.
Aish nodded shyly.
"It's delicious. But the yellow rice that brother Khalid brought me several times was much better than this porridge." Recalling that yellow rice, Aish's saliva instantly flooded within his mouth. He misses wanting to eat it again.
