The Love of Habib
Season II: Senandung Missing (9)

Gisel thinks he will need a lot of time waiting in line at the bank, because when he comes in here there are already many people waiting in line. But it's still morning.

But I don't know what Danis said to one of the bank employees, because after they chat for a while Gisel was called to finish his business.

He handed over the savings book with 24,500,000 dollars. Then his 500,000 deliberately he was resistant for sudden needs while in the boarding school.

The two eyes of Laras immediately broke into shock at the sight of that much money in Gisel's hands. All his life, he had never held that much money in his own hands. Even after working 2 years in a boarding school, all his savings would not be able to touch that number. At least 10 million down. This was his savings after frugality and dividing it into villages.

Although a little but he was very grateful because not everyone had as much savings as him.

"It's over?" Baras approached Gisel.

Gisel smiled very relievedly. Eventually the money was handed over as well. He had made sure that the amount of his savings in the account increased and carefully placed his savings book in the most basic bag with the ATM card.

One would not know that at the bottom of Gisel there was a hidden pouch. Usually the bag is useful to put a parachute bag that is used to protect the bag when it rains. Gisel didn't need it, but didn't throw it away. He instead uses the existence of parachutes to deceive people who intend evil when unpacking his bag. He's been putting money in a closet since he lost money in a dorm.

"Thank God is done, brother. Now I'm relieved." Gisel was really relieved.

"Alhamdulillah. I'm surprised you have that kind of money. Why don't you ask your family to send it directly to your account instead of giving you cash. With this much money, greedy people have a hard time holding back even in the boarding school environment." Said Laras astonished.

Theft is rare in boarding schools. But that doesn't mean never. To anticipate it, it is better not to bring too much money. Just tube into the account. Later if you want to shop, stay in the staff office. It is much safer than holding cash.

Gisel also understood the anxiety of his roommate.

"It's not from my family, brother. But this is from one of my sisters, Dira. Two days ago he came out of the boarding school and gave me some money as living expenses during his stay here. I also didn't think that he would give me as much money." Gisel said without hiding his proud tone.

Indirectly he wanted to tell Laras that Dira was a good person. Not only Dira but Aish as well. Even though the three of them already had their own lives, both Dira and Aish did not forget to pay attention to Gisel's life.

Whose heart is not jealous of their friendship?

"Gee... Oh, my God, is the money from Dira?" That much money!

The barrel silently took a long breath. What kind of friendly relationship was established between them that it was so easy to throw that much money away?

Baras would not want to feel jealous.

"Yes, that money was from Dira. While from Aish, I've put it in the bank." He suddenly thought that it was not good to be too arrogant in front of others, so he hurriedly switched the topic of conversation.

"Actually I want to take my sister out to eat. But our time is tight, so I'm just buying some food at the market to break through."

The mind of Barrel is distracted,"Oh... You don't have to bother too much. I also buy food."

"No hassle. Come on out, brother. Brother Danis has long been waiting for us outside." Though not for long.

They both got out of the bank and went straight to Danis outside the car. Danis nodded lightly to them and got into the car first. Gisel and Laras also got into the car.

They thought they went straight to the boarding house. But they stopped by the side of the road. Right next to the meatball and fried rice stalls. It was a bit strange to see the fried rice stalls already standing by during the day. Gisel only knows fried rice is sold when it is night.

"What are we going to do, brother?" Gisel asked confusedly.

"We'll stop by for a little while. Don't worry, there's still half an hour left until 10." Danis showed her phone screen in front of Gisel and Laras.

They both don't mind. Even quite excited. Rarely can they eat out.

"today... Let me treat you both. I'd like to thank you for your help these two of you for a few days. I'm sorry to treat you to this simple meal." Gisel was very happy today, so he immediately said to the others that he would treat them both.

Laras did not reject Gisel's kindness. Because he knows the price of fried rice or meatballs is not that expensive. In addition, it was Gisel who took the initiative to treat them. Goodness cannot be denied.

Danis said nothing. He sat with his back straight waiting for the food to be served. A few minutes later 2 bowls of meatballs and a plate of fried rice were sent along with three glasses of water.

Gisel and Danis both eat meatballs, while Laras eats fried rice.

During the meal, no one spoke. Laras was busy eating, while Gisel was a bit awkward sitting directly in front of Danis. The fragrant meatballs that carried tastes suddenly had no appeal in front of Gisel. Um, because the focus was on Danis. She was so embarrassed eating in front of Danis. Unfortunately, he only ate three mouthfuls of meatballs and after that he did not eat anymore, but both spoons did not stop moving on the bowl.

"Eat. Cannot leave food. One day God will make you regret and long for the food you have wasted today." Danis reminds Gisel not to watch.

Whether it was just his feelings or not, but Gisel felt that the tone of Danis' voice was so soft. Much softer than usual.

"Mr.en." Gisel obediently ate his food.

The barrel who was busy eating suddenly forgot how to chew the food in his mouth. He was shocked to hear Danis' rare soft tone. His round eyes looked at Danis and Gisel with suspicious gazes. He had not thought too much about seeing the interaction of the two of them. But when they were in the market earlier, Laras suddenly felt strange. Throughout the shopping Danis and Gisel often talk. Gisel was in charge of buying and Danis was in charge of carrying goods. He didn't even have a chance to talk between the two of them. If you look carefully, they are like a married couple. Weird right?

But Laras soon cast this thought away. He thought it was just his fantasy. But hearing Danis's tone of voice earlier to Gisel, the suspicion was back in his head. What exactly is the relationship between the two of them?

I don't want him to ask this in his heart. He felt that there was something between the two of them, but was this possible?

He has never heard of Gisel and Danis. There, he listened to the gossip about Gisel's disgrace that was deliberately spread by Aira first. So he was a bit doubtful if the two of them had anything.

"Let's go home. I must have been waiting at the cottage."

The food is gone and they should be back soon.

"Wait, brother. I haven't paid yet." Gisel hurriedly reached into his bag to take the money.

Danis.

Baras and Gisel were shocked.

"Ah... I should've paid, because I wanted to treat you." But her heart was sweet.

Danis smiled, for the first time!

Suddenly Laras and Gisel were stunned to see a smile on Danis' handsome face.

The face that used to always display a flat expression, now melts and looks so soft.

"Other times. There's still plenty of opportunities. Or maybe someday we'll both treat Laras." He said with ambiguous words of meaning.

Gisel's heart immediately beat fast. Could it be that what he meant was the same as what Gisel was thinking?

We will both treat Laras, what does it mean someday when they are together, those who will treat Laras. Isn't this what Danis said?

Gisel nodded at the thought of the words. His face warmed up under the supervision of Baras.

Not only was Gisel surprised. But Laras was also surprised. Laras's mind went round and round to find out what Danis meant. Could it be that what was thought was the same as what Danis meant. Otherwise, so he himself thinks a lot?

He knows Danis but doesn't know her very well. He and Danis are in the same class. You could say so. But Danis continued her schooling while she did not. Before falling apprenticed in a boarding school, he had to return to the village for one year. If he did not return and directly apprenticed, then this year he was a lodge permanent worker. Danis will be graduating this year.

Because they were both of the same age, Laras did not call Danis as brother or sister and vice versa, Danis did not call him brother or sister.

"What are you guys thinking?" Danis asked blankly don't smile thinly on her face.

Gisel. He squeezed tightly both of his hands holding back nervously.

"Not... It's nothing." Gisel lowered his head, hiding what he was thinking right now.

"Then let's go home." Danis said to both of them.

"Ms." Gisel follows Danis into the car.

While Laras behind them quietly observed their little interaction earlier.

"Is what Danis thinks the same as what I think? Strange, today I was so weird. Why am I so easy to think wild?" Laras shook his helpless head.

Today his mind went everywhere. Like he was not always calm.

...*****...

Arriving at the boarding house. All the groceries were sent directly to the soup kitchen with the help of some male courtiers called by Danis. So that much shopping does not need to be taken many times.

With a red face Gisel ran to find the cook waiting in the kitchen. It turns out that all the ingredients in the kitchen like onions, garlic, chili sauce and some vegetables have been processed while waiting for them to return.

"Assalamualaikum, Mum. We both are back." Gisel kissed the cook's hand.

Barrels do the same.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Thank God, I'm glad to see you guys home on time. What about your groceries?"

"Everything's here, Mom. There is no material that cannot be purchased. Uh, this is everything, ma'am." Gisel hurriedly reached into his backpack to retrieve the change.

But when taking the change, the fierce voice of someone instructed the movement of his hand.

"Eh, what is this? Why are there instant noodles and food? Mother's feelings do not write this on the list of kitchen ingredients?" Ask someone while unpacking Gisel's groceries.

Gisel forgot to secure his groceries. Or rather, the Baras forgot. Though Laras said earlier would take his groceries and immediately send them to their room.

Gisel is very calm.

"It's true that it wasn't on mom's grocery list, because it was my groceries." Gisel said he was not panicking at all.

After all, he didn't steal. And he honestly wanted to admit that it was his shopping.

Previously he had already asked Laras if cooks would get angry if they were shopping in the market using their own personal money?

And Laras replied that the cook would not be angry as long as they did not embezzle money. Isn't safe?

"Sorry before, did you use the kitchen money to spend all this?" The woman asked in surprise to Gisel.

That woman was none other than the woman who disliked Gisel yesterday. Today he heard that Gisel and Laras were going to the market, while they were struggling to work in the kitchen. He was offended. He is the most senior person in the kitchen. The cook's act of trusting Gisel more than believing him is proof that his character is questionable here.

Honestly, no one thinks so. He alone is too over-thinking. And everyone is mediocre. And assume it was Gisel's personal gain.

"I don't use kitchen money. This is my personal money. If you do not believe, please ask Danis and Laras. The two of them were always with me when I went shopping. And luckily I recorded all the expenses today to buy groceries. The total number is 906,000. The remaining 94,000 I'll return." Gisel then took the change in his backpack with the paper list of materials that had been crossed out by Gisel.

This idea came from Danis. Gisel was ordered to write the price of each ingredient so as not to cause misunderstandings. Money is sensitive.

Thankfully, Danis reminded me. Otherwise, misunderstandings will occur. Inner Gisel relief.

"Take a good look, ma'am. I wrote all the prices there. And I can confirm it by reconsidering all the groceries I bought. Everything fits nothing reduced and nothing exaggerated." Gisel said with a reassuring tone.
