The Love of Habib
Chapters 26.13
"What are you thinking, Gis?" Gisel looked back.
Dira came out with a warm pack of fried food in hand. These nights are good for eating fried food. And it would be even better if the three of them got together.
Smile faintly,"I thought to myself, Aish. I want to be with him."
Dira sighed. Hand over the fried food she brought to Gisel to eat together. They are both fried goons, but special in boarding schools because it tastes so good. Aish likes it too, but not too much. He usually ate one or two seeds and already felt enough.
"Who did you shop with?" Gisel snatched one.
While chewing Dira spoke, "I don't go shopping to the cafeteria, but I nitip to the other team. Oh yes by the way, talking about Aish seems to be endless. It is surprising that he turned out to be the descendant of a Sharifah even though he could not have that title because his father was an ordinary man. But still it's ngagetin."
Gisel nodded slowly. It feels a little funny to imagine that Aish comes from a respectable community while Aish's own behavior likes to be ugly.
"I don't think either. Especially if you remember his behavior in the boarding school, let alone others, I just do not believe that he came from a very respected people. It feels like kayak...dreaming know not? Like this, suddenly our mud playmates in the rice fields were raised to be a king's daughter. Though in any case he had no impression of nobility in him. Weird, right?" He said in a little laugh.
"That's weird. But honestly, I'm proud of our best friend. God had lifted his degree after he had gone through many times of trouble. Only one thing I'm worried about right now, could it be that she still wants to be friends with us or could it be that she still has time to be friends with us when she already has a husband, and her husband is a master of thorny roses!"
"Ah yes! Habib Thalib was Aish's husband. One boarding house was in an uproar because of it. And you know your own friends in many rooms who are heartbroken and even crying because habib Thalib turned out to have a wife. Worse yet, his wife is none other than our best friend, Aisha Rumaisha. Actually from the beginning we began to often intersect with habib Thalib, I had suspected that habib Thalib was nothing like Aish. Try to note, between the three of us the only person who is always spoken to by habib Thalib is only Aish doang. I've been wondering if Habib Thalib is anything like Aish, but I didn't think their bond was this deep."
Dira quietly stroked the chest, grateful that time Aish did not listen to her advice to approach Dimas. If Aish obeys, he can be finished in the same tripe habib Khalid.
"Don't you, I'm in deep shock. But come to think of it now it is understandable why Habib Thalib could not hesitate to hold or touch Aish and be cold to other girls. Honestly, I am happy with our friend because his dream has been realized by God. She's got an expected husband."
Gisel smiled faintly, patting his best friend's shoulder.
"If it was our turn. Are we capable or predestined to meet men who accept us for who we are, and like us as sincerely as possible, just like our friends?"
Dira raised his head staring at the expanse of sky above. His oily lips drew a thin smile line.
"Of course." The whisper doesn't know.
