The Love of Habib
Chapters 26.4

Aira's heart instantly turned cold. His eyelids were raised wide unable to believe what he had just watched. Why doesn't he know that the man he thinks is habib Khalid is Nadira?

Why did he not realize that and speak highly in front of many people, even in front of his own family?

Then last night very confidently he was airborne in front of Gisel, saying that he was a victim of the habib. Said in a stubborn voice that the habib should marry her. Gisel's expression when he saw her last night looked a little strange. He thought it was out of jealousy, but apparently it was because Gisel was laughing at the charade he was doing. So in front of Gisel or the people in the boarding house he was no different from the monkeys who were making attractions on the side of the road.

What the fuck!

"Son," Call Mother in disbelief.

Aira was silent. His tongue felt like he could not speak.

"What is all this about, son? Doesn't the habitat want to touch you?" Ask Mommy does not understand.

His son was obviously sent to the hospital, he admitted that he had almost been touched by a habib. And Mother foolishly believed just what Aira said. Then look at it now. The powerful and indisputable evidence was now clearly displayed before him. If so, what else could he say?

"Aira, say something, son? Does habib Thalib want to touch you or does he not?" Dad pulled Aira's shoulder so face to face with her. Maybe because of my emotions I couldn't hold back the strength of my hand when I held Aira's shoulder.

It hurt to make Aira close her eyes.

"Our son's in pain, please let him go." Mother pity saw her daughter and hurriedly asked for mercy to the husband.

But I didn't hear Mother's plea. Instead of loosening the squeeze, Dad actually squeezed it stronger as if so he could finally say what really happened.

"Dad... Me, I don't know. As I recall, Thalib broke into my room and touched me." Aira stammeredly answered Dad's question with the same answer as last night.

Dad narrowed his eyes, "Then what about the video we were watching?" Ask me I don't believe it.

Aira shook her head in confusion. Tears flooded his pale face. He looks so pathetic. But right now no one wants to appreciate or love how pitiful Aira is. They were furious because Aira kept lying.

"That's what confused me, Dad. I'm really... I really believe that the one who wanted to touch me yesterday was Habib Thalib. Otherwise, how could I feel this humiliating because my body was being desecrated? Fathering... Mother, Abah... Please believe what I say. I'm not lying at all. This video could have been made up by Habib Thalib so that he could escape from the law. He may not be responsible to me... I can understand this. But it felt so cruel that he still continued to slander me after desecrating me. L'm... I don't know what else to say, my life is ruined now.hiks.." He said while crying loudly trying to attract the sympathy of many people.

Aira really wasn't lying. In his memory, he was convinced that the person who touched him yesterday was the habib of Talib. That was the reason why he was so confident today to come to attend the trial. But he did not expect at all that Nadira was ruining his plans. The rest went well, and Khalid should have gone into that room if Nadira had not interfered.

"You.." Father's heart is broken.

But it was a pity that Nadira did not let the family make the play again.

Under the lack of supervision of many people, he walked to the center of the room. Stand straight with a very serious facial expression.

"Do you forget that at the time of the incident there were many witnesses who saw. Abah and Umi were at the scene, besides that I who was in direct contact with you was also there. If you think that this video is made-up, then just call an expert or a police officer who works in this field so that we all know that this video is actually made or indeed happened. For a very serious matter, our boarding school will not underestimate it because it concerns the good name of the boarding school and the people involved in this matter. If it leaks and spreads widely everywhere, fearing it will question the accreditation of boarding schools. This is the reason why this trial was conducted. We want to discover the truth behind this incident and of course justice to habib Thalib on behalf of his harmed good. Surely if you are innocent or in other words you are a victim in this matter as well, we will try to uphold justice to you. But with the premise of stopping doubting the truth that already exists and dispelling your cruel accusations to the habib of Thalib, otherwise we suspect that you are actually deliberately doing this to trap the habib of Thalib." Daringly Nadira attacked Aira's weak point. He did not cover up the suspicion in his heart that it was possible that Aira had deliberately made this matter. It's just...

Too bad, your plan missed. Inner Nadira.

"This is my cell phone footage. If you doubt the authenticity of the video, then I am willing to involve the police or people who are experts in this field. The result will be the same because this video is original. There were also many witnesses during yesterday's incident. You'll know how many witnesses there are if this video goes on." Habib Khalid chimed in, expressing his willingness to verify the truth behind the video. In fact he is completely innocent and everything has been revealed in the video, so he is not afraid.

Hearing the two of them speak inevitably Aira immediately became a whistle. He knew that habib Khalid could not have faked the video. But because of his ego he refused to let go of Habib Khalid. Now that things are like this and they want to involve the police too, Aira doesn't want to. He did not want to end up in prison.

"Maybe our niece may have been confused yesterday. As you can see he kept calling out the name of Habib Thalib in an unconscious state. Maybe because the effects of the drug caused him confusion. Please.please forgive our Aira. He may not have meant to be evil and just feel himself being harmed." Seeing the situation go in the wrong direction, the aunt immediately spoke apologetically to them.

At first glance he knew that his nephew was very surprised when he saw the video. It is possible that the nephew also does not know and considers Nadira as a habib Khalid. Because his hallucination made him feel depressed and dirty, so he insisted on demanding justice to the habib.

"I'm..." Aira bit her lip resignedly,"Sorry... Maybe I misunderstood." His words are not willing.

"According to the doctor, he finally experienced symptoms of hallucinations and confusion after taking large doses of illegal drugs. And as we all saw in the video, he delirious and accused my daughter of being a man. What he hallucinated never happened." While speaking, Abah did not forget to show medical reports from the hospital overnight regarding the condition of Aira and Habib Khalid.

The Aira family is neither blind nor stupid. The truth is clearly presented with the video and the doctor's explanation, so he may continue to demand sins not committed by Habib Khalid.

Suddenly Father and Mother felt embarrassed because they had been presumptuous to shout to the habib. They accuse habib Khalid of doing nothing to Aira, hold her accountable for sins not committed, and ask her to give a proper marriage to Aira, habib never touched his daughter. The most ashamed is Mother. He said boldly that Habib Khalid had feelings for Aira so that he dared to commit the sin, when again it was his wishful thinking. But what if Habib Khalid really fell in love with Aira, but because of today's matter habib Khalid became ilfil and lost his intention to Aira?

"Habib.habib Thalib, please forgive what we did today. We really didn't say that intentionally. We're just getting carried away with the emotion of seeing our daughter persecuted, if we knew what really happened, we wouldn't have spoken sassyly to you." Mother spoke in a cautious tone to the habib while noticing the change in expression on that handsome face.

Aira bit her lips in shame. The tears in her eyes never stopped flowing. There was shame in his heart. The carefully crafted plan failed, not only getting there, but also he was getting scorn from many people. He was humiliated by the people in the boarding house. After this incident, how could he possibly continue to survive in the boarding school?

He will never have the face to meet again with the habib or the people in the boarding house. Ah, it was eager for him to drown himself into the ground and erase all these shameful memories inside the head.

"Of course I understand your feelings as her parents. But I can't make peace with this matter even though my heart has forgiven. Because if I'm just a little careless, I'm gonna get into your daughter's trap."

The faces of Father and Mother changed drastically. Aira's trap?

"Habib Thalib, please think again about what you have said to our daughter. Abah herself said that she was confused and could not think clearly when the incident happened, so where could this be our daughter's trap when she herself could not recognize the person she was hugging?" Father was angry with the accusation the habib made to Aira.

He was ashamed of this incident. Accusing the wrong person and even shouting in defense of Aira, but even though Aira had committed recklessness this time, he would not let others accuse Aira of crimes let alone to demean her. He was a Father, he would never willingly see his daughter trampled.

Habib Khalid smiled, "That's what I'm surprised by. He took the wrong medicine but why did he enter the wrong room? By the way it was the room where I rested yesterday. Nobody goes in there but me, but why did he get in and even say my name when he met Nadira? His brain could not think clearly or even recognize others, but why among all the names or men in the boarding school, he only called my name one? Please explain this, if it's not the plan of your daughter that wants to frame me, then what's the explanation of all this? And by the way.this is a coincidence. That day I also took the same illegal drugs as your daughter, doesn't this sound strange? We took the same medicine and he was in the room where I was resting, as if everything had been planned. At that moment my body reacted wrongly and I had no place to rest other than that room, if... If I was careless and went straight into that room, then the story would be different. In other words, what your daughter wants will come true. The story ends like this, right?" Every word said by the habib made Aira's heartbeat slow down as the cold began to creep into her back.

What the habib said was exactly what he wanted, how could the habib have thought so far?

Just thinking about it made Aira scared. No, there's no CCTV in the kitchen. Aira sure saw clearly that there was no CCTV inside the kitchen. This is cheating that no one will know about.

"Habib Talib... I did accidentally mention your name that day because my head was so dizzy. I didn't know where my feet were going because I was so hot and thirsty, I had to find a place or water to ease that feeling. So I just walked into a room that could be entered. And indeed... Nadira's problem makes me misunderstand. I thought it was habib Thalib because the room had the fragrance of habib Thalib... Then it is only natural that I misunderstand and regard Nadira as habib Thalib. And really... Truly I never intended to be evil or make plans to trap Habib Thalib because I was also a victim in this situation. I.hiks..." Rubbing his face rough, he tried to speak in self-defense.

"Airas... Aira, relax. Don't talk too fast, your breath isn't stable now." Mother persuaded her daughter to be calmer.
