The Love of Habib
Chapters 2.1

After that brief discussion, Dira immediately came to Gisel with ogah-ogahan. They talk for a while because Dira does not feel close to Gisel while Gisel himself is shocked because Dira and Aish want to involve him in the escape plan. Honestly he was in shock but the rest of him was very happy because they had not forgotten him.

Just like them, he also wanted to escape from this tight spot.

30 Minutes after the break, several rooms one after another left the dormitory. They walked towards the library, a large tall building closest to Abah's house.

During on the road Aish pretends to mingle with Girl's friends but after arriving at the library she immediately sneaks away. Poking Dira and Gisel's back as it passed them. Dira and Gisel saw Aish go westward, so they also quietly followed him westward.

Gisel and Dira did not speak at all but a tacit understanding had formed within them silently. For their purpose is the same: to flee from this place.

"It's so far anjir." Dira complained when they managed to find Aish among the shelves of books or books containing Arabic script without lines.

Aish clucked in disapproval, "It's for safety's sake. You know for yourself that you are the main supervision of the cottage people because you have been doing the last few times." Aish said reminding him generously.

Gisel also agreed with Aish because he noticed that the female dormitory's disciplinary staff had been watching Dira for some time. But even though she agreed, she did not say it because she knew her voice was not very important.

Gisel just kept quiet between them while paying attention to the surroundings. Find out if anyone eavesdropped on the conversation.

"They're so annoying. Right now you are talking directly. Didn't you say you had a plan before?" Urge Dira while holding her chest, waiting for Aish to reveal it.

Aish nodded in understanding. He knew they were now pressed for time so he wasn't messing around anymore.

"You two have seen the wall in the rice field of this cottage, right?" Ask Aish to them.

Gisel nodded timidly not too daring to look at Aish.

Dira also nodded. Not only did he see her but he had also noticed her for a long time.

"Look, but the wall was high. We can't climb up even if the three of us help each other." Said Dira depressed.

He had once wanted to escape through there, but upon seeing the height of the towering wall two or three meters away, Dira immediately gave up and decided to look for another way.

"Which tells you to climb, who is the monitor lizard?" Aish said scathingly, Dira immediately glared annoyed but did not reply.

"If we don't climb, what are we going to do with the wall?" Gisel asked hesitantly to Aish.

Aish glanced at her pale face for a moment and turned her face the other way. She still had warm feelings of sadness about their friendship back then but could not forget the bitterness left behind by Gisel. Therefore he did not know how to take a stance while being close to Gisel.

"We're gonna make a dog hole." Said Aish making his plans.

"Dog hole?" Dira never thought of this plan.

"Dad, the three of us worked together to hole that wall to make a way for escape. If we manage to hole that wall, we can escape from this place and be free. We won't be stuck in this place anymore." Said Aish with smoldering eyeballs.

He was very excited to immediately escape from this place.

"Okay, your plan can be used. When can we do it?" Tanya Dira was impatient.

Aish pondered for a moment. It would be nice if their plan was immediately done because he also did not feel at home living here.

"Later in the afternoon?" Aish said doubtfully.

"Sore?" Dira also thinks that the time here is very, very difficult.

Every time they have activities and it is not easy to slip away.

"Well, think of a way to sneak away. You know that digging a hole in the wall is not easy. It took us a long time but since we did the three of us, I'm sure I can get it done quickly." Aish said confidently.

Dira also thinks so. At best the wall is easily perforated due to its rough and sandy texture.

"Okay, later in the afternoon after the ashar prayer we can pretend to go to the bathroom when getting off the mosque."

The three of them in a very short time finally made a plan. They agreed to act after the ashar prayer. After the plan was completed, they then returned to their respective places.

Aish was the last to move. She did not want to attract the attention of her roommates as she was seen walking along with Dira and Gisel. But there was one thing that made Aish feel uneasy.

He raised his head looking at the second and third floors of this library building, puzzled, he did not find anyone above. Since then, he has felt noticed by someone.

"Is this just my feeling, Dad?" Aish muttered to himself.

Raising his shoulders no matter what, he put a thick book in his hand and went to his other roommates. He did not know when the person he was looking for suddenly appeared from the second floor. The person looked at Aish with a strange look, before turning to look at Dira and Gisel who had mingled with other santriwati.

"Habib Thalib, who is this man?" Suddenly a tall man came to him.

Habib Khalid glanced at him lightly, smiling gently as he withdrew his gaze from Aish and looked back at the green book before him.

"Before, where was the task I asked for?" Habib Khalid asked with the same smile.

The man scratched his head in shame. He hurriedly parted to habib Khalid and went back to the previous shelf to look for something.

Silently, there was no one on the second floor other than him and the man.

Sret

The sound of the page sheet rolling his hand was like a nice background music to hear. He enjoyed every line of the book in his hands. Occasionally his handsome serious face will attract a gentle smile, until some time later he finally lifted his head from the book and turned to look at a santriwati who tried to blend in with others, but it might be difficult because she is a different girl than the others. Her pretty face pouted without a smile, her eyes looking at the people around her with a noticeable sense of distance. This girl, wherever she went, loved to use this look.

Habib Khalid smiled softly, lowered his head and looked back at the book that had been ignored for some time.

"His weight's falling again." I don't know who he muttered to.
