The Love of Habib
Chapters 2.2

Gisel stood in the corner of the shelf close to the window. Next to him Dira was sitting holding a yellow book with ogah-ogahan and just looking at it without the intention of reading. Ehem, it was not that he had no intention of reading this book. Even though he was lazy but if told to read or study, he would definitely not refuse. But unfortunately he did not understand Arabic in the slightest and could not read Arabic. Every time his eyes met with Hijaiyah letters without this line, his heart would sigh helplessly as it could not read them.

The two of them had been like this since half an hour ago after discussing with Aish. They originally wanted to mingle with the other santriwati but they forgot one thing if they did not have any friends in this place yet. Be alone in the corner.

Tired of the surrounding environment, Gisel then brought his gaze to look outwards. From where he stood he could see the neighborhood of the boarding school that was somewhat isolated from the students. Right, far away there stood a high gate, the barrier of dormitory santri so as not to be entered by the opposite sex.

Gisel stared at him for a while and his focus had already moved on the pedestrians outside. They were mostly the santri who went somewhere. Walk in black panties, white peci and free long sleeved clothing. Each of them walked with a group of people. When they cross paths with the santriwati, they immediately shut their mouths and lowered their eyes, the santriwati was the same. They do not speak and keep their eyes straight.

This sight was so soothing. Gisel involuntarily smiled and began to wander in his heart. Had he not been foolish to give up his honor for the sake of a moment's love and had he not been foolish to betray his friend, then perhaps someday he would have felt the peace of heart that the sisters felt.

But unfortunately he was stupid. Stupid to make himself worthless and useless. This is what made him reluctant to enter this sacred place. A place where a sinner like himself is unworthy of entry.

"Assynoltom... Brother Danis." The gentle greeting of the santriwati draws Gisel from his reverie.

He's realized. Out there is a bunch of santriwati who bow their heads shyly. Some santriwati had a very clear reaction. Their cheeks blushed and pupils twitched lightly peering at some of the santri across the path. There stood some santri but the most striking was the tall and handsome man who stood at the very end.

Unlike the usual santri that Gisel saw for some time, the tall and handsome santri was actually impressed cold and jutek. The attention of some girls fell on him but he didn't feel anything. He stood firm in his position. His lower eyelids stared at the dusty ground below without faltering.

"Sister Danis?" Gisel muttered while watching the tall man.

As if sensing Gisel's inquisitive gaze, Danis suddenly lifted her head and looked towards the window where Gisel was standing. Gisel was startled, he immediately turned his eyes away from Danis.

His hand touched his chest, feeling a heartbeat that echoed strongly within his hearing. What the hell is going on?

He was confused and was no stranger to this reaction. It was just that he did not understand why this reaction was more intense and powerful than he had ever felt before?

"You why? Is your face really red?" Tanya Dira was nervous.

At first Dira was busy turning the pages of the book, suddenly his shoulders felt a heavy burden. Dira does not like and wants to shake Gisel's hand. But as he turned his head towards Gisel, he was surprised to see Gisel's red face. Fear Gisel fell ill and could not support his own body.

His knees were limp and still trembling lightly. This overwhelming sensation made Gisel terrified but at the same time addicted.

"You sick?" Ask Dira carefully.

Gisel shook his head. He explained Dira's shoulder and stood straight back up.

"Sorry, I'm bothering you." Said Gisel not daring to look Dira in the eyes.

Dira sees Gisel's careful attitude, judging if Gisel is okay, he then continues the event flipping through the pages of the book in his hands.

"No problem. Find a seat to rest." Said Dira while getting up from his seat.

"I'm going to find a rather humane book. You sit and wait for me here." Dira said to Gisel.

Dira went towards the shelf where he got this book. Putting the book back in its place, he pretended to be busy looking for another book while watching Gisel from the corner of his eye.

Gisel was still standing awkwardly on the spot without any intention of occupying Dira's seat. He did not dare to sit there even though Dira had told him to sit down. Gisel feels how Dira looks at him and he knows maybe Dira doesn't like him. Since Dira did not like him, he did not dare to take any strange actions in front of Dira. Dira's fear will be getting away from him when he has no one in this place.

"He's not so bad..." Mumbles Dira softens.

He sighed, picked up the book at random and returned to where it had been.

Gisel was still where he stood. He squeezed his hands nervously due to the dilemma. It was very desirable that she saw Danis, her senior in the boarding school but she did not dare either. Dreadful Danis noticed his presence here and thought of him as a stalker.

But he was already curious, so he peeked at Danis carefully. Strange, the group was still there but Danis was no longer there. Gisel bit his lips in disappointment, he looked back and forth and did not find it, until he saw the tall figure standing by the side of the road near a shady tree some distance away from the group.

Danis is standing with two santriwati. They seemed to be talking about something because the two sisters gave her a book note.

"Sir Nasha and Kak Fani?" Gumam Gisel knew the two santriwati.

Nasha is the head of the discipline of the girls' dormitory in this boarding school while Fani is a member of the discipline of the princess dormitory. Everyone knows them because the discipline of the girls' dormitory is very prestigious in the girls' dormitory and is built directly by the boarding school staff. When Dira is in a state of chaos to escape from here, Nasha and Fani are the ones who handle Dira the most, so inevitably Gisel will also recognize him.

"What's wrong? Those two magic grannies are here as well?" Dira hated these two very much because they often thwarted his escape.
