The Love of Habib
Chapters 10.6
On the sidelines of the conversation habib Khalid had a laugh after being teased by an ustad. Because many santriwati who secretly steal a glance towards the habib, the idol of their boarding school.
Habib Khalid held his forehead in thought while shaking his head. He became the idol of many students, not something he could be proud of. But the habib never took it seriously. This alienated and distant attitude even made many people admire him even more. They admired the habib who was always humble and measured in addressing the admirers in the boarding house.
In fact, the office of habib Khalid has been flooded with many proposals from among santriwati and some female staff who are still single. Either taken where all the proposals went because either the ustad or the santri who had entered the office of habib Khalid never saw him again after one or two hours idle on the desk.
"Habib Thalib, assalamualaikum?" Khalisa and Nasha suddenly came over.
Habib Khalid frowned uncomfortably. He took a few steps back to keep his distance from Khalisa. Whether intentional or not, Khalisa almost touched the left arm of Habib Khalid.
"Mosur." Habib Khalid answered without looking.
Khalisa squeezed his hand nervously while Nasha silently shook her head in an inexhaustible manner with Khalisa's actions. He was forced to follow Khalisa here to apologize to Habib Khalid. And if Nasha dared not help, then Khalisa would be desperate to find his own Habib Khalid.
As soon as Khalisa came, the ustads turned their faces to the side with a faint astonishment on each other's faces.
Regarding the commotion caused by Khalisa for some time, almost everyone has known about it. Their impression of Khalisa slowly began to decline and was not as good as before.
"Habib Thalib." Khalisa said with his red eyes that were getting wet.
Habib Khalid tilted his head, glancing into the canteen from the corner of his eye.
"Go back. You'll be eating dinner soon." Smoothen habib Khalid.
Khalisa. His heart was deeply disappointed upon hearing of Habib Khalid's rejection. Even without listening to his apology, Habib Khalid asked him to leave instead. This is a rejection of him.
Rebuttal. Khalisa clenched both his hands sad and angry. Since when did his pride break before the eyes of Habib Khalid?
Since when?
Right, ever since Aish came to the boarding house everything suddenly changed!
"Khalisa, let's go. Habib and the others will soon go on patrol." Nasha is ashamed.
He pulled Khalisa's arm, urging him to leave immediately.
Khalisa smiled wryly. He nodded lightly looking weak.
"We. we'll be back, assalamualaikum."
Khalisa then left reluctantly. Entering back into the food booth with his head bowed, ignoring the many pairs of eyes that were silently staring at him with all sorts of glances.

"Aish, Aish, are you daydreaming, anyway?" Senggol Dira awakens Aish from her daydream.
Aish wakes. He immediately withdrew his gaze from habib Khalid with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Dir, brother Khalid don't want to be touched by Khalisa?" Aish asked astonished and confused after seeing the attitude of Khalid's avoidance.
Dira looked at Aish strangely.
"Are you serious about this, Aish?" Tanya Dira joked.
Aish looked at Dira seriously. Without having to answer, Dira knew that Aish was seriously asking.
