The Love of Habib
Chapters 1.4
"Is there anyone here named Aisha Rumaisha?"
That's my name. Aish's mind was shocked.
He then stood up from his seat and raised his hand to attract the attention of the ustadzah at the door.
"That's my name." He said to ustadzah.
Upon seeing Aish, the ustadzah immediately smiled sweetly. He entered the room with a black cloth bag in his right hand and walked over to Aish. No one knew what the cloth bag contained but the item inside the cloth bag was probably for Aish.
"Someone leave this food to you. He said you should eat this before going to the library." Ustazah said while giving the cloth bag to Aish.
Aish doesn't know who that person is but she doesn't like being arranged by him. And he had suspicions that the man might be a man from Dad.
"I'm not going to the library so I won't eat it." At most the contents of tempe and know about processed into different foods thought Aish underestimated it.
Whatever the shape of this food must be made from these two ingredients alone. I don't know, according to him, pesantren cottage is good at frugality because it has a lot of needs for various kinds of affairs, but too good at frugality is also not too good because the impact of the students who suffer. Because every meal they have to eat tempeh and tofu.
Ustazah had a good smile and was not bothered by Aish's rejection. His calm smile makes Aish feel much more comfortable and think if the smile is more sincere than Aira who everywhere always use a veil. En, it should be Aira who was sent here and not Aish. Because he needed religious knowledge more than himself.
"Sorry, Aish. Someone said if you don't eat it and don't go to the library immediately, you will be asked to go down to the kale area in the rice field as punishment."
As soon as the people in the room heard ustadzah mention the word rice field, they immediately cried out in shock and fear as if what would enter the rice field was them. Aish's expression also pouted and felt annoyed for a moment. If he refuses then it is likely that the boarding school will push him into the muddy rice fields, ugh.it must be very disgusting and dirty.
"She doesn't want to eat an ustadzah. He'd rather bathe in the mud than go to the library." The word Dira suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
The average person in this room knew that Aish's relationship with the other two city children was a bit too cold. They rarely spoke but once they spoke, the room Aisyah Ra lived in would be very noisy.
Aish rolled her eyeballs no matter what a tacky provocation Dira was. He is also unhappy with this lizard but at the moment the situation is not supportive because he needs the help of Dira and Gisel.
"The children of this city are very difficult to manage. They like to argue and make trouble here. If this keeps up our room points will be deducted a lot." Whisper Siti to a friend beside her.
Pondok pesantren have a rule that once a year there will be an award for 3 rooms that have the most points and have high discipline. The prize is very profitable and is the target of many students because that's why each room chairman order the room they each lead.
Aish sneered in annoyance at Siti. This little boy had ruined his mood twice.
"Don't listen to the monitor lizard. I'm gonna go eat and go to the library." He said loudly as if announcing that he was a child that was not difficult to manage.
In addition Aish also pity the Girl for not eating, therefore she does not refuse the food.
After Ustadzah gave the cloth bag to Aish, he immediately left and returned to his office to work.
As soon as the ustazah left, the people inside the room looked at the cloth bag that Aish had in hand curiously. They wanted to know but did not dare to ask.
Especially City. This person who could not hold his mouth could not take his eyes away from Aish's cloth bag.
Aish smiled coldly, she knew very well that Siti wanted her food.
"Girl, come here. Let's eat together." Call Aish.
Aish's surprised girl invites him to eat. She was hungry before but Aish gave her a million, Dira also gave her two packs of bread, and Gisel even gave her a bottle of chocolate milk. Having received many gifts his hunger was slowly forgotten because of the joy in his heart.
"I already have bread." Said Girl.
But Aish did not listen and pulled the Girl sitting on her bed. He then opened the cloth bag, took out a large box of food and a bottle of water. Seeing the size of this box of supplies Aish's mouth twitched unconsciously because he thought he was not too greedy when it comes to food. So this size is too big for him.
Aish underestimated the contents, but the moment she opened the lid, a delicious fragrance immediately poured into the air. There are 4 kinds of side dishes in it with yellow rice that is still warm. There is quail egg sauce, chicken milk with red seasoning, three flattened parchment, and sauteed vegetables that have a seductive fragrance. This is a home-cooked meal that santriwati have long missed in this room.
"Well, I think it's good, huh. I can join you, can't I?" Dira shamelessly walked up to Aish.
His eyes looked greedy as he looked at the food inside Aish's lunchbox.
"No way, this food is not suitable for lizards." Said Aish ketus.
Dira's face immediately constipated, "If the monitor lizard is not suitable, let alone a lizard whose body is small. You don't have to, dong. Fellow countrymen must help each other."
Aish grunts jutek. He shifted his seat without speaking so that Dira could sit down. After that without saying anything he started taking a mouthful of rice. As soon as the food entered his mouth, Aish was stunned. Her eyelashes trembled lightly trapped in nostalgia.
Why does this food remind me of the food Nabila gave me a while ago? Aish's mind was confused.
"Why? Don't like it, huh? Food for me if I don't like it." Dira instantly fell in love with this food once it entered her mouth.
Aish rolled her eyes irritated. He kicked Dira's leg to close his mouth and focus on eating.
Dira was annoyed but did not stop feeding food into his mouth. He's like a man who hasn't eaten in days. While the girl ate quietly and slowly beside Dira. He was in no hurry and seemed slow while eating.
