The Love of Habib
Chapters 28.3

After Aish and Habib Thalib disappeared from sight, we immediately returned to the dormitory. There are no other activities in the dormitory other than lying down to calm down. You see, after Aish left I felt a little uninspired.

Arriving at the dormitory, Dira and I immediately ran into the room. Ratna and friends who were in the other room looked confused to see us running. We couldn't explain to them that we ran into the room to check the money Aish left under the pillow. Besides not wanting to invite any more thieves, Dira and I agreed to hide this matter so that the other friends would not be discouraged.

"After this we sleep in the same bed, huh?" Dira said to me.

I nodded my head. Sure. I also originally wanted to sleep together with Dira. Since it's just the two of us here, then we should take care of each other.

"Well..." When I lifted my sleeping pillow, I was in shock.

Dira looked down beside me, "Very much?" Surprised ask.

After seeing the money under my pillow, she hurriedly went to lift her sleeping pillow. And just like I got under the pillow, he got it too. It was exactly the same color, had the same thickness, and both had yellow notes on top of the bundle.

"Aish gave us 10 million? So that means we can use this 3 million a month, O God... Aish is really good. This is his savings. I think he's just giving us some sheets. It's more than I thought."

Let alone Dira, I had the same reaction. I know that Aish is a royal. He had no problem spending a lot of money as long as the money was used well. During her stay with him, Aish was already a big sister to both of us. When we wanted to shop, Aish generously spent money on both of us. He asked us to go shopping and he didn't seem too interested.

When Aish said that he put money under our pillows, all I thought about was maybe 3 million nominal in it. 3 million for 3 months, for the style of shopping in this boarding school is really quite enough. But it turned out to be 10 million, how could I not end up saving it?

"Aish has always been like this. He said we shouldn't hold back, but with this much money, how can we spend in 3 months at the boarding house?" I said while grinding my teeth.

"Huh. Because of this I miss Aish even more." Dira.

I nodded in agreement. Because I'm also starting to miss Aish back. The funny thing is that the friend I betrayed turned out to be one of my best friends in life. Not only did he not take revenge on me, but he also treated me well and instead regarded me as his brother. O God, how could this heart not be sad to part with him?

He is a very kind person, a sincerely appreciative person, how could I not be sad to part with him?

"me too... But his happiness came so quickly, that's what God wanted. Although I was sad to see him go, but I was actually also happy because he finally met with the happiness that awaited." My voice sounded trembling when I said this.

I didn't know that sadness fell this deep. Aish doesn't go far, she just starts a new, happier life with a loved one, but my heart still hurts. I honestly wasn't willing to let him leave us. Especially for myself, somehow I feel that I'm not that brave without Aish.

"May God take care of our friend's life."

In sadness I smiled at her prayer. Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin, O God, I silently assure you this prayer in my deepest heart. May God grant it.

Slowly the room was back in full swing. The scene I saw was very lively because there were so many sounds of laughter and cheer in this room. But deep down I felt lonely. While lying down I looked at my roommates. They talked a lot while taking out suitcases and backpacks. Open the closet as wide as possible to pick up clothes, fold them neatly before putting them in a suitcase or bag. They will return to their hometowns. This time it was much longer than the national final exam. It may take several weeks because the graduation announcement is a decision from the boarding school after combining all the grades into one.

A lot of my roommates are planning to continue school in the boarding school. He said he wanted to pursue a scholarship. No wonder I thought. Because the scholarship that the boarding school offers is not responsible. They will be sent to various countries that have a history of Islamic education. For the santri and santriwati in the boarding school, those countries are the longings of their hearts. The goal they always aspire to has been their motivation to study hard. So they are looking to get this scholarship.

But it's different with me and Dira. We are not interested in these scholarships because we are self-aware and know our own capabilities that we are not capable enough to get to that point.

So then... We once decided not to go home but would go out of town looking for a job.

"Gis, aren't you busy?" Someone suddenly came to me.

I woke up from my fall. Shaking my head, I replied, "No. Ratna's." I said.

"Oh, thank goodness. Will you help me send all these books back to the library? Today I will return home, so I must return all the books that our class has borrowed. The rest of the roommates were busy packing each other's things, I couldn't bear to ask them for help."

My eyes caught a pile of books on Ratna's study table. During your study last month, we used those books to feed science into our heads.

"certain. I just happen to have nothing to do and not take a nap. Let's go." How can I sleep in this room?

"thank you. Come on."

I followed Ratna to pick up the books. This is excessive for one person but not excessive for two. We can take him both.

"Just put the book here. The rest let me take care of it. If you want to go back to the room first, then go. I'll catch up after finishing the procedure." Looking at the long queue ahead, it seemed like Ratna did not feel good to see me waiting.

I smile.

"It's okay, I don't have a problem waiting."

He looked embarrassed, "I'm not forcing you. Wait if you want, and if you're bored, I won't let you go."

I nodded slowly. Find a chair and sit there to wait.

But half an hour passed but Ratna still did not finish the queue. Want how else, library guards need to match each book code with the one recorded on the computer so it takes a lot of time to. I feel bored. There is nothing interesting in the library to read. Full of science here. If you want to read the sirah of the Prophet, actually quite a lot in the library. But it's a pity that they all use the shaved Arabic script that is still a mystery in my head.

Tired of sitting here all the time, I finally decided to get out of the library. Not going anywhere, just look for a shady tree and sit quietly under it.

"Habib Talib has gone with his wife. And reportedly they will carry out the wedding in a few days. Too bad we can't come to see their wedding." Everywhere this topic is always talked about now, and I'm not surprised.

"Ustad says we can come as long as we have free time. Because their wedding was held in another city, not here."

It is not in this city because the residence of Mama Aish's family is in A city. Dira and I will be picked up when their wedding date is set. And according to Aish's request, the two of us will stay one day with her towards D.

"Hearing their conversation, I missed Aish again. Oh my God, we split an hour ago but I've started to miss him." Mumbled longing.

"Eh, look at Danis's sister."

My head spontaneously followed their gaze. Far away there, a few meters from where I was sitting now Brother Danis was walking with a girl. The girl is no stranger to me. I used to see it in the library. But even though I saw her a lot, I didn't know her name and never wanted to know.

Feels smothering. The expression of the brother Danis is famous as a stone because his face is always slab and rarely smiles. I thought this was indeed her carrier, but seeing her with this woman I suddenly began to understand.

Just like habib Thalib, he must have only smiled when he was with the person he liked.

So anyway.

"Sister Alisha is again the same way, brother Danis. Don't you think the future wife that Brother Danis means is Alisha's sister?!"

Oh, so her name is Alisha. A beautiful name, just like the man. Well-favoured.

But a future wife?

I consciously turned my face away from the two of them.

Ugh, my heart ripples in pain feeling a pain. Seeing them just makes me like this let alone seeing the two of them actually get married?

Could I still be standing?

"Who knows? I've never seen Brother Danis walk with another woman except for sister Alisha. Actually, they are suitable if really married. One is cold and the other sweet and cheerful, they can complement each other when together. Yeah, no, no?"

I'm stunned. My eyes once again glanced towards the two lovebirds who were walking together. Following what these people said, I also thought that the two of them looked harmonious.

They were completely compatible, really but my heart refused to voice approval. I'm not willing but know enough myself that he's not capable of me reaching.

"Gissles." Ratna called.

"Wait, Rat." My timpal.
