The Love of Habib
Chapters 9.4
"It's delicious here too. Just try there's a mat so we can sleep here." Gisel said, imagining how comfortable it is to sleep here.
And it might feel more comfortable if their phones weren't confiscated by the lodge. Play the phone here while lying down, isn't this the world's favor?
"The bed on the stone is also delicious, really." Said Dira relaxed.
Aish also enjoys the cozy atmosphere here. Sitting in the shade by the river while staring at the vastness of the sky, Aish suddenly missed her family. Even though she is not well received, Aish still thinks they are her family.
"You guys.. don't want to call home?" Tanya Aish hesitated.
Reminded of the house, their mood immediately undergoes subtle changes.
"I don't think my uncle and aunt like me to call." Melancholic Gisel.
Giving shopping or supplies when coming here just does not, so how could his uncle and aunt want to miss him?
It was just an illusion and Gisel did not want to be too hopeful. After all she was not their daughter so they shouldn't worry about her too much.
"Well, I don't know if I can contact my parents. They're too busy with their careers." Said Dira indifferently, looking quite lonely.
Maybe he was used to being abandoned by his parents who were too busy pursuing a career.
The two of them had already spoken but Aish did not open her mouth.
Dira glanced at Aish who looked very lonely, "What about you?" Ask doubtfully.
Aish blinked.
"Me?" Ask yourself.
Smile faintly, "I don't know either. Maybe they don't like me calling and sending me to the cottage is a great way to kick me out." Said Aish flat.
But his clear eyes could not hide how lonely he had been all this time.
"Aish.." Dira shifted her seat and raised her hand to pat Aish's shoulder slowly to comfort her.
Gisel also did not remain silent. He moved and stroked Aish's back slowly.
"I don't know what it's like to have warm fathers, caring uncles and aunts, loving relatives." Aish flatly began to tell about her miserable life.
"My mom married Dad with a very sincere love but unfortunately my dad loved my stepmother. Unbeknownst to Mama, Dad married my stepmother under the consent of the family, My mom is so pathetic." His whispers recollect the pain of his mother.
Dira and Gisel did not bother Aish to speak. The two of them quietly listened to Aish let out his deepest pain after so many years embedded in the heart.
He was sick and subconsciously began to cry over the past again.
Thinking of her Mama's suffering, the betrayal her Mama felt, and the unrequited love that made her fall to the point of downfall, Aish is deeply saddened!
Crying is not enough.
"Aish..." Gisel was crying too.
He feels very guilty for being too late in his own ego and betraying Aish's trust in him at that time. He has made a terrible mistake for Aish. Aish should never forgive herself given that her mother was devastated by the betrayal of her best friend and father. Aish shouldn't have given her a chance but.no, Aish has a soft and forgiving heart!
Aish wants to forgive him and instead gives him a chance to get close again.
Though he has betrayed Aish, took Aish's girlfriend and even slept with her. But after all this Aish still opens the door sorry for him...
She was so embarrassed and sad.
"Since then my life at home has always been overshadowed by Aira. Everyone compares to us and even my uncles and aunts don't like me. I didn't know at first what it was because until I heard the truth from my grandfather, my Mama Papa. He explained everything to me and I understood immediately because of what. They don't like me because I'm stupid or underachieving, but they don't like me because I was born from your womb. The woman you don't love. When I knew all the truth I was furious but could not hate because they were all my Father and my family.I could not hate all of them who had pushed my Mama into the abyss of despair. I really can't..." Aish whispered sadly.
In front of others, he had never before looked this sad. Except for Dira and Gisel, no one had ever seen him cry this broken.
Because the wound was so big, the wound was too big and aching Aish was embarrassed to show her sadness. She was afraid that she would end up like now, crying out loudly without being held back.
"Nothing, Aish, whatever pain you feel someday God will pay for you. Therefore, God may protect your heart so as not to hate it, for God will redeem it for you. He doesn't want you to fall and suffer any more than this..." Whisper Dira comforting.
Aish had thought this way too. He thought that perhaps God did not want him to be a bad person and disobeyed his parents, which is why his heart did not blacken after what Dad did. God may be the one who will repay this pain, even if Aish does not ask, God knows better what he feels and what he complains about.
As Dira said earlier, God may have prepared an unexpected scenario for him.
"Aish, I'm sorry.."
Aish stunned. He rubbed his wet face and looked to the side. Gisel had been crying bitterly beside her without a sound.
"How foolish I am to betray your trust..." Gisel's whispers are ashamed and sorry.
Hearing these words Aish instantly understood what had made Gisel cry.
"I'm not mad at you, Gisel, but I'm disappointed. At that time if I knew you liked Iyon, then without being asked I would let go..." Aish said sincerely to Gisel.
Seriate...
