The Love of Habib
Chapters 2.4
Our Aish this mosque would be as glamorous as any mosque out there but he is wrong because this mosque is so simple. There was no gold or silver, all engraved from the same material.
Aish followed the flow of others up to the second floor because the first floor was devoted to santri while the second floor belonged to santriwati. The santri were not allowed inside the mosque before the santriwati had gone upstairs to block the view.
Cool and peaceful. This is what Aish felt inside this mosque. Seeing the smiles of the santriwati, the remembrance they muttered, and the sholawat they hugged, Aish suddenly refused to leave this place.
"It's not my place here..." Aish whispered as she lowered her head staring at the prayer cloth she was sitting on.
Aish felt that feeling again. He felt an unspeakable longing in his heart ever since he entered into this tempo?
"Let's stand, we'll pray soon." The girl pulls Aish from her daydream.
Aish, Gisel, and Dira were compactly standing together.
"Allahuacabar..."

The mouth that had just uttered the intention of praying suddenly stopped. Aish immediately became dazed after hearing the powerful takbir lingering inside the mosque.
It was eager for him to look down, who was leading the prayer at the moment but he couldn't because he was in the middle saf.
"Heh lizard, pray. People started praying, right." Tegur Dira's.
Actually Dira had already started praying but she immediately canceled it when she saw Aish dazed on the spot.
Aish hurriedly uttered the intention of praying and decided to put aside all the confusion earlier.
Soon the voice returned to reading Al Fatihah's letter. His voice was very melodious, soaking the hearts of everyone who was longing for the Creator, hoping that if the Creator would embrace them, he said, embracing those who are tormented in a longing to reciprocate the feeling of love that has long been rooted in the heart.
(QS. Ar-Rum 30: Verse 21)
Then the owner of the soft voice turned to read another letter after completing Al Fatihah's letter. Aish does not know why but this verse is repeated three times by the priest, as if to emphasize how important this verse is.
Aish did not care much about it because the most important thing right now was the owner of this gentle voice. This was a gentle voice that had accompanied his sleep several times in the third of the night. The sweet voice that had accompanied his empty nights. He hadn't heard it for a long time and he thought in this life maybe he wouldn't hear it again. It was unexpected that this place also had this voice.
Aish wondered if this voice belonged to habib Khalid?
From all the coincidences he gets, from the same name, the same traits, to the same voice, Aish is convinced that he is the habib Khalid he is looking for.
After the ashar prayer was over, everyone did not speak. They all obediently bowed their heads, listening to her remembrance and prayer. Then it is connected by reading the Qur'an for half an hour and then they can get out of the mosque.
When exiting the mosque, all students must wait for santri to come out of the mosque first before being able to get out. Aish and the others waited patiently. While waiting for the santri group to leave, Aish accidentally heard the talk of the santriwati.
They were very excited because this topic was discussed everywhere.
"Imam pray this time habib Thalib!" They whispered but being too happy they could not hold the volume of the sound.
"Habib Talib?" Aish muttered completely guessing it.
"God willing, the voice of Habib Thalib was sweet and tender. I don't know the reason why Habib Thalib read this romantic verse and even repeated it three times!" The other was very happy.
"I think this verse is specifically habib Thalib read to someone, otherwise why would Habib Thalib repeat it three times? He obviously read it to someone." Others began to guess.
"Ah can be. But I wonder who that lucky woman is? Perhaps she was a great woman because she was able to attract the attention of Habib Thalib-"
After that Aish did not want to listen to him anymore. He reached out to the girl's hand as quickly as he could and immediately asked, "Girl, do you know the meaning of the verse that Habib Thalib repeated so many times earlier?"
Seriate...
Does anyone know the answer?
