The Love of Habib
Chapters 27.5
"They're both so cute. Not yet into the 20th lash, they both fell down and fell unconscious. Honestly speaking, it was actually a pity to see the two of them being tortured with such a painful blow." In the hallway of the boarding house of the boarding school, he heard people talking about the matter earlier this afternoon.
Their speaker was very curious. Inevitably he stopped his steps and pulled over in the waiting chair in front of the neighbor's room. Then he pretended to sit down while lowering his head avoiding the sight of people. The outsiders saw that he was reading a textbook, but in fact, his two ears were standing straight listening to what the people around him were talking about.
"I'm sorry, too, but this is the punishment they must get for breaking the law." Others chimed in with a wise tone of voice.
"But this is too much for them? They are both kilaf, why boarding school is not just a mercy for the two of them because after all they are human."
He snorted unhappily at this comment. Both of his hands clenched to say something to reply to the woman's words, but the wise voice spoke first.
"Both they both are human, that's why you feel sorry for them. What about the victims of both crimes? Their good name was crossed off and not to mention the psychological trauma felt by them for this crime. Can they all be restored to their original state of compassion because they are human beings? If we think like that, then why is there a law in this world? And if sorry can solve all the problems, then why should there be laws in this world? Forgiving all crimes committed by criminals in the name of humanity, then the pain faced by victims of crime is not humanity? Really, I don't agree with your way of thinking. This is not true. Like the decision that the boarding school made for the two of them, this punishment was actually quite decent for them because the crimes they committed were also not small. This is slander, we all know how heavy this sin is. So a great crime has a reciprocal punishment worth it?" What I said was very reasonable and clear, even 'he' who was listening to the conversation silently nodded his head in agreement with the speaker's way of thinking.
"Gisel, what are you doing here?" Someone suddenly called out to him.
He raised his head to look at a girl who was now standing in front of him. This girl is his roommate.
"Oh, yes. I'm..." Subjecting his head to look for an excuse, his eyes immediately sparkled when he saw the book on his lap.
"Oh.you're so diligent now. I guess what Dira said to Aish was a lie if you went to the library to borrow a book. You really are going."
Ah, she had never seen Aish and Dira since they split up this afternoon. Remembering the farewell last afternoon, she felt ashamed.
"Would you like to go back to the room? Saman yuk, I want to go back." Gisel shifted the subject.
"Lho, you don't read here anymore?"
Gisel shook his head. He got up from his seat and pulled the girl walking towards their room.
"I'm bored. Keep reading the book."
"Ah, reading a book is a bit boring when it is imposed."
