The Love of Habib
Chapters 26.5

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

Just look at her daughter's irregular breathing, she was afraid that at times anything would happen to Aira if she did not immediately stabilize herself.

"For God's sake... Never once did I get stuck in my mind to trap the Habib Thalib. Yes indeed... I liked Habib Thalib from the first time we met, I also sent him a proposal despite not getting any reply from him. I admit that I really like it. But until trapping him using illegal drugs, am I that low? In addition I have a very deep trauma about these drugs. My family could be witnesses to what happened to me a few months ago. Because of that I was rushed to the hospital..." Aira deliberately glanced at Aish, trying to attract everyone's attention and awaken suspicion.

Aish felt a bad feeling. He knew that the mistakes made in the past would be re-leashed by Aira. He closed his eyes regretfully, why did he commit such a foolish act?

But if he did not make that mistake, then he probably would not reach the boarding house-ah, in the end he would also be sent as grandfather said. Mama once asked him to be sent to the boarding school after he grew up.

"At that time, Brother Aish put illegal drugs into my drink. His reaction was like I had yesterday, I was in a state of confusion unable to think clearly and my body was also in pain, fortunately, I was rushed to the hospital and immediately received treatment from a doctor so that it did not adversely affect my body. Only God knew how scared I was at that time. I was so afraid that I might start to develop trauma. Unknowingly I started hating drugs, regardless of what they were. Because every time I see a drug, my subconscious immediately sends out an alarm warning that I should stay away from it. So how could I possibly trap Habib Thalib with drugs, when I myself could not and even avoided any drugs. To prove these words, I was able to show you a medical letter from the hospital where I was treated. That it's true that I developed an anti-reaction to whatever drug I saw. What conclusion? In conclusion I am not the culprit who brought the drugs to the boarding school and I am also unlikely to trap Habib Thalib with the drugs..." His tone was very convincing that he had never brought or used illegal drugs. Moreover, he brought up the problems Aish had done to him first, his testimony practically aroused suspicion of Aish and at the same time saved himself from the accusation of the habib.

But I'm not comfortable with Aira bringing up Aish's mistakes here. Especially now that his son is watching. He must be embarrassed because his mistakes used to be mentioned again.

"Why should you bring it up" Dad wanted to protest his daughter but Mommy didn't let Dad talk.

Without waiting for Father to finish his speech, Mother immediately spoke to support his daughter's statement. He released his daughter from the accusation of the habib.

"What my daughter said is true. Ever since he got out of the hospital, he hated drugs. And every time she got sick she would definitely avoid taking the medicine because it was so overshadowing my daughter. As for the mastermind of this incident I believe the culprit is Aish, my son. I'm not gonna cover anything else in here-"

"What are you doing?!" Bentar dad's not happy.

Mother is stubborn, "I want justice for my daughter. I know that he's innocent. And I know that all this was done by Aish. If it wasn't her, who else would have hurt my daughter?" Reply Mother does not want to listen to the voice of Father.

She was afraid to see her husband angry, but yesterday a husband would not last long. Mother is sure after pampering Father in bed, Father will not be angry with him again. After all, keeping his daughter's good name, was far more important than anything. And this time he would never let Aish rejoice at the misfortune his daughter had suffered.

"I'm not going to cover anything up for you all anymore. I suspect that the culprit who put the drugs in the drinking water of Aira and Habib Thalib is Aish. Not without reason I'm talking like this. Since childhood my daughter has always been bullied by Aish. He often snapped at her, scolded Aira, and troubled her at school. As long as I face it I continue to be patient and try to convince myself that Aish is like this because she still refuses to accept me as Mother. And to make up for my daughter's pain, I comforted her many times and asked her to be more patient with her brother's anger. But one day Aish starts crossing the line. My daughter's birthday party yesterday, Aish cut all my daughter's veils. Not only there, but he also put illegal drugs in my daughter's drink while attending a school party. As the princess said earlier, she fell ill and was forced to be rushed to the hospital. The doctor's explanation at the hospital was exactly the same as the doctor's explanation last night, and what shocked me the most was that the medicine was exactly the same as the one Aira had taken at the time of the incident!" Now the charges are directly directed to Aish by Mother.

What you say makes sense let alone bring up the past. But not everyone believes what you say. Moreover, the people who knew Aish. They trust Aish. Months of living with Aish instantly changed their view of the town boy.

"Your stepmother's crazy, Aish. You just don't feel at home. Model people Your stepmother is like this." Dira denounced.

Almost the average person who lives with a stepmother ends up in a difficult life. There are rarely children who live happily when they have a stepmother. Because the entry of the stepmother into the house also changed the father into a stepfather. This is no longer a secret in society, but stupidly, society does not take a lesson from a million stories of a child who was persecuted in a family that has a Mother or Father connected. They keep repeating the same mistakes, as if the house will remain peaceful with the presence of new members.

Aish smiled wryly, "It's okay. Now it's all over. I'm no longer with them."

At worst he's going home with his aunt and uncle, yeah... This is much better than staying at home which always leaves him tormented.

"But this is very annoying. Obviously her daughter was wrong, but she accused you instead. I'm surprised by your stepmother's brain circuit." Dira said annoyed.

The accused Aish looked very calm, she was not angry and did not show any expression. But Dira and Gisel know his best friend very well. Look at those eyes, they look sad. Maybe he was very disappointed with the accusations made by Mother to him.

"really so. Aish must be the culprit. This child was always rebellious and was not happy to see Aira happy. No offender is more likely than this kid." Bibi spoke up and accused Aish of being the perpetrator.

Seeing Mother and aunt swiftly helped him. Aira doesn't want to waste a chance. He deliberately hardened his crying voice, crying as hard as possible while hugging Mother's hand.

"Sister Aish probably hates me because a few days ago I saw him... I saw him trailing wherever Habib Thalib went. Habib Thalib must be very uncomfortable with the approach of Aish. I meant to rebuke him, but all I got was the angry response from Aish's sister. I can't believe Aish's sister would do this to me. Really, I didn't feel suspicious at all about the drinking water I had to give yesterday while in the kitchen. Only now did I think about it carefully, could it be that Brother Aish deliberately put illegal drugs in my drink while in the kitchen. And perhaps at the same time Aish also put drugs into the drink of Habib Thalib. Because Aish's brother prepared a drink to habib Thalib yesterday. I. I really can't believe him..." Aira further added firewood to the fire to arouse everyone's suspicions.

As Aira expected, Mother and aunt were very angry to hear that. They are increasingly convinced that Aish is the perpetrator of this drug problem. Powerless to hold the anger in his heart, aunt immediately sold quickly to Aish. Dragging Aish out of the crowd under the watchful eye of everyone.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Aish was surprised by the sudden actions of aunt.

The hand that gripped his arm was very painful, Aish to the point of grimacing.

Everyone immediately held their breaths when seeing aunt's hand held high would throw a slap into Aish's face. "How dare you do this to my nephew"

The hand outstretched in front of Aish's face suddenly froze.

In a cold tone the woman spoke, "Oh, how presumptuous are you to want to drop a hand on my nephew? Think carefully before you do what consequences you will get if you make my nephew's pretty face hurt."

Now everyone was again surprised by the confession of the foreign woman.

Seeing that the woman had now moved to Aish's side, the habib immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"Niece? So the woman who came with habib Thalib was Aish's aunt?"

"No, these two women are Aish's aunt. But obviously one woman was more on Aira's side and was favoritism towards Aish. Maybe that woman is Aish's family."

Various kinds of speculation began to arise among the santriwati who knew Aish.

"Your nephew? I am obviously her aunt! Aish doesn't have an aunt like you." Said the aunt as she removed her hand from the woman.

"Ah," The woman glanced at Father with an indifferent expression.

Dad's face didn't look too good when he saw the foreign woman. She wondered since when the woman was here and why did she not know the whereabouts of the woman?

"Why don't you ask your own brother? He clearly knows who I am more than you."

Dad's uncomfortable. At first he hesitated to say something and wanted to ignore the foreign woman, but the tall man's gaze made it difficult for him.

"Rumi, what are you doing here?" Dad finally spoke.

"Rumi?" Mother and aunt are confused.

They never heard Dad talk about this woman.

Especially for Mommy herself, the more she looked at the woman the stranger she felt. Somehow he felt that the woman was somewhat similar to Arumi, Mama Aish, his own best friend.

"He didn't say anything about me? Then introduce, my name is Rumi. But people are more familiar with calling me Sharifah. I am the sister of Arumi, your sister's ex-wife and Aish Rumaisha's mother. I came here because I wanted to take Aish and bring her back to where she should be. At first I thought everything was going well, but what I saw was already subverting my expectations. Seeing how cruel you are to my niece, I guess my niece's life in that house isn't happy, isn't that so my ex-sister-in-law?"

"Sharifah? He is a Sharifah then is Aish also a Sharifah? But why is Dad mediocre and not having the proper behavior that a habib has?" The trial room again buzzed with all sorts of voices of doubt.

The descendants of the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam have very different characteristics from ordinary humans. When one sees or is close to the descendants of the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam, they must understand what the difference is. But when they see Dad, why don't they feel the difference?

"Mother, is she Aish's aunt? Then isn't the word also.." Aira is instantly horrified to imagine Aish's hidden identity.

If he was truly a descendant of the Prophet, then the consequences would never be imaginable. In the past Aira had heard that if the descendants of the Prophet were disturbed or hurt, then the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam would turn his face against the person in the afterlife. Whether or not these words are Allahu'alam, Aira does not know them clearly. But he must have been feeling uneasy thinking about it. It was strange that he had not felt guilty before when planning this trap to the habib who clearly had no doubt of his identity, but instead felt guilty to Aish who was still unclear.

"You... Arumi's sister?" My aunt suddenly hesitated.

"I don't care if you're a Sharif or not, as long as my daughter gets justice, your identity doesn't mean anything to me." Seeing the aunt's hesitation, Mother reached out her hand wanting to pull Aish's hand but a hand suddenly pulled Aish away so that Mother's hand only got empty air.

"Ah," Aish fell into someone's warm embrace.

"Don't touch my wife. Before I could still smile when you humbled me and blamed me, but the story would be different if you raised your hand to my wife. Understood?" The cold inner voice was like a death sentence for Aira.

"Is-wife? Habib Thalib is married to Aish?!" Instantly the boarding school was in an uproar with this news.

Seriate...

Too much, so just write this. Does this differ in the length of the two chapters from the others?
