The Love of Habib
Chapters 11.2

"Sir Nasifa said what, anyway? Although Nadira lived for a lifetime there, still in Nadira's heart is only a homeland. Nadira will never forget our homeland." Nadira replied with a frown, pretending to be angry.

Nadira is a beautiful girl, just like a Barbie doll. Maybe because they have mixed blood that makes their facial features like a beautiful and sweet Barbie doll.

"Duh, brother said it wrong. Brother kirain you have escaped the house because of the fun of studying there." Said Nasifa still teasing her sister.

Nadira shook his head. His pouting cheeks now developed a sweet smile. Her pretty face was many times as sweet after smiling.

"By the way, how's the cabin doing while I'm gone, brother?" Nadira suddenly switched the conversation.

Nasifa let out a long breath.

"The lodge is always fine and the santriya more and more. Abah and Umi are very happy that our boarding school is the first place for parents out there who want their children to seek the science of the afterlife." Nasifa said she was happy.

Everything is fine as before. But lately boarding schools have many unusual stories and much more alive than in previous years.

"Oh, huh?" Nadira was immediately excited, "I'm really happy, brother, listen."

"When I go around, Dad. Our boarding house is now much wider than the last time you were here." Nasifa.

Nadira nodded quickly not rejecting Nasifa's offer. He had not seen the cottage for a long time and had missed it terribly. While studying abroad, Nadira always wondered what their boarding school was like now and how many students their boarding school could accommodate now.

"By, brother." Nadira suddenly turned her attention to the door of her room.

After making sure that the door of her room was tightly closed and that there was no one in this room other than the two of them, Nadira finally withdrew her gaze to look at Nasifa again.

"What's up, deck?" Nasifa asked astonished with Nadira's suddenly nervous attitude.

Nadira smiled slightly and shook her head.

"Sir, if the boarding school we are now much more than the last time I was here, then the teacher also increased, right?"

Nasifa focus diverted.

"Sure dong, deck. Now our boarding school has a lot of office staff and teachers, God willing enough for santri quota now." Said Nasifa for sure.

There are many alumni who choose internships or permanent work here and there are also many outsiders who work here to help advance boarding schools. In essence, boarding schools do not lack office staff or teachers because God always sends extraordinary people who want to help the progress of the cottage.

"Oh, keep listening, habib Thalib now works here as an office staff, really, sis?"

Hearing his sister ask about Habib Khalid, Nasifa somehow felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, deck. Actually habib Thalib here also sometimes fuss besides being an office staff." Nasifa replied while observing the change in expression on her sister's face.

Nadira was very happy to hear that. His face that was stark white developed a red color, appearing to blush in embarrassment.

"How long, brother?" Tanya Nadira blushed.

Nasifa gulped her saliva, hesitating but still answering.

"It was 6 months ago."

Nadira immediately shook Nasifa's shoulders while raising questions.

"Why didn't you say anything before about me? Why didn't you ever tell me that Habib Thalib has been here for so long? And why do I know now that Habib Thalib works here? If I don't go home then I won't know if Habib Thalib has been here long?!"

Nadira was angry and happy to hear it. He was angry that no family had told him about the arrival of Habib Khalid here and he was also happy that Habib Khalid finally came to the boarding school after 16 years ago disappeared.

Nasifa who was shaken by her sister suddenly became confused at how enthusiastic her sister was when talking about Habib Khalid.

"Daddy, stop!" Nasifa held his sister's hand.

Nadira realized, his scowling face was blushing in shame. He pulled his hand away from Nasifa's shoulder.

"Sorry, brother. I'm too excited." Nadira said shyly.

Nasifa rolled her eyes lazily.

"Okay, calm yourself down." Nasifa said while fixing her clothes that were messy because of her own sister.

Nadira smiled shyly. He also had trouble controlling himself who was too happy to hear this news. When she first heard this news in Cairo yesterday, Nadira could not imagine how happy she was that day. He came to his roommates. Hugging them one by one to share happiness and even do silly things that invite laughter. Fortunately in front of Nasifa, he was still able to control his overflowing mood.

"Em...why did you never say anything about the arrival of Habib Thalib to the cottage?" Nadira asked a lot more calmly.

Nasifa shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

"You don't, deck." Answer's simple.

Nadira turned her eyeballs.

"Whatever. Uh, but how long is it planned to get Talib here? You see, Habib Thalib's parents did not exist and he should now live alone." Tanya Nadira hoped that the habib would stay here for a long time.

Nasifa shook her head in doubt.

"I don't know, deck." Because maybe Habib Thalib just stayed here for a while. Inner doubt.

The arrival of Habib Khalid 6 months ago has made Nasifa surprised because after 16 years of living in Arabia and Egypt, Nasifa thinks Habib Khalid will settle there. Nasifa thought the arrival of Habib Khalid here was very unusual and had a specific purpose. Not just teaching or serving in the boarding school because Abah said that Habib Khalid would not stay long.

And come to think of it, the arrival of habib Khalid here may have been about rejection 16 years ago. The year that Nasifa felt how bitter first love was.

"Well..." Nadira was disappointed to hear that.

"Sir, you don't be that weird, Dad. Later Abah the same Umi angry if you think of a mess." Nasifa warned.

Nasifa had met with the habib of Thalib before and had even spoken to him so Nasifa had a very deep impression for the habib of Khalid first. But Nadira is different. Nadira was a child and had never met Habib Khalid. Nadira even knew habib Thalib through the story of mouth to mouth of many people and can only see it through a photo. So Nasifa somewhat anticipates this younger brother because Nadira seems too enthusiastic to hear about habib Khalid. As if.yah, Nasifa did not dare to think about it.

Nadira blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head embarrassedly at Nasifa.

"What's not to say, anyway? What thoughts can Nadira make Abah angry with Umi? Nadira doesn't fuck around." Nadira denied.
