The Love of Habib

Chapters 3.6

The three of them panicked.

"But this punishment is too-"

"Sorry, this is the final decision. You guys go back to the dormitory to clean up because two hours will be in magrib time." Said habib Khalid cutting.

The three of them could not accept it and wanted to negotiate with Habib Khalid. But habib Khalid would hear nothing more. He and Danis then bid farewell to the two of them, then left the three of them who were still staring at the place.

"Oh my God.. Is that right?!" Dira said in despair.

He sat down limply on the grassy ground.

Aish and Gisel also sat on the ground looking frustrated.

"I'd rather play mud than clean up a dirty place." Mumbled Gisel sadly.

What is cleaning the bathroom, cleaning the bedroom only they rarely do let alone clean the bathroom themselves. This task is usually left to the housekeeper. But here, in a place they hate, they are forced to clean the bathroom. Private bathrooms may still be tolerable but these are bathrooms worn by thousands of students. You can imagine how dirty the place was.

"I want to go home." Said Dira with his head down.

He felt sad and lonely here. He had no friends, no interlocutors, and other than that many things he did not understand here.

"I also want to go home.but I don't know where to go because now I don't have a home.." Slowly the sobs of Gisel began to sound.

She hides her head inside her knees while holding back her crying voice so that Aish and Dira do not know when she is currently crying.

Aish and Dira heard it. The sound of her pathetic bated sobs made Dira's eyes tear up, before long she also began to cry considering everything that had happened recently.

"I also don't have a home.My parents were very busy taking care of their careers and left me in this place.I was sad and I felt lonely..." Said Dira while crying.

He and Gisel wept together, one after another pouring weight on their hearts. While Aish himself stared at the vast expanse of sky that stretched out in front of him. Hearing them both cry did make her sad but she tried not to cry. The three of them had their own grief. If Gisel is expelled by his family for disgrace, and if Dira is thrown into this place because his parents are too busy taking care of his career, then Aish is different.

Since childhood, his presence was never desired by his father and his father's family. Her mother was unloved, then betrayed by the people she treated as family. Then Aish alone faced the slanted gazes of them all. Compared to Aira, humans are considered untrue, and are looked upon as a family disgrace. Aish had gotten used to feeling it but was still not used to feeling the pain. It hurt until she couldn't cry anymore.

Aish is in the throes of family affection and warmth, a feeling that has long emptied her heart.

"Don't cry." Aish said comforting the two of them.

He's not a good person to talk to.

"We can stay here for a while while waiting for the opportunity to leave this place and travel out of town to find a place to start a new life sheet. I may not be your brother and neither do we have any friendly relations. We even often fight and blame each other, really can not be friendly. But here we have a clear purpose. We want to get out of this place and go to a safe place to start a new life so it never hurts to work together. Dira, Gisel, regardless of the past between us, the grudges between us, and the wounds between us, I want the three of us to make friends so that our escape plan goes well. How's it?" Aish said as he got up from his seat. He stood up with a lazy expression on his face, both his hands outstretched in front of Dira and Gisel without a sweet smile on his face.

Gisel and Dira were stunned. With eyes and faces wet from crying, they stared at Aish's helping hand with stunned expressions on their faces. A shock trajectory swelled inside the heads of the two of them. Who Aish is, they know very well how aloof Aish is because it is difficult to make friends. Seeing her suddenly reaching out with a friend invitation, the two of them clearly did not expect that Aish would take the initiative first to make friends regardless of her goal.

Because hey, honestly Dira has long wanted to be friends with Aish. He thinks Aish is really cool at school. Many people want to make friends but Aish is always indifferent and indifferent at school. This is what amazed Dira. Because the friends who surround it all this time just use it.

Just like Dira who is full of surprises. Gisel did not expect Aish to be friends with him. He feels very happy because here only Aish and Dira are his interlocutors. Now that Aish wants to be friends with her again, Gisel's tears are overflowing with haru.

"Thank you." Gisel takes Aish's hand first. He got up from the ground while rubbing his muddy face.

Aish felt awkward.

"Well, it's business." Said stiff.

Gisel was not angry. She was grateful that Aish was still willing to talk to her after what she did.

"It's a business." Said Dira with a silly smile on her face.

The three of them held hands, looking strange and ridiculous due to the awkward atmosphere between the three of them. Embarrassed by this strange atmosphere, Aish finally let go of their hands and immediately walked through the path they had passed before.

"Let's go back. I can't stand the smell of this mud."

Gisel smiled, "Well, I also want to take a bath." He said he followed Aish.

Dira also follows Aish and Gisel. They walked the three without speaking in a strange awkward atmosphere. But strangely this atmosphere is much more comfortable than being at home. There he would be stared at with one eye, but here no one looked at him like that.

He's honestly very comfortable.

And then there is habib Khalid. Aish's eyelids fluttered lightly, sweeping his gaze across the sky that stretched wide above. Habib Khalid, this name made Aish feel a warm vibe in his heart. How fresh was his memory as that heavy and gentle voice called out his name, even his full name. He knows that this may be the phenomenon of falling in love at first sight but Aish feels this is more than that as if habib Khalid is the home he's been looking for all along, the sturdiest leaning place ever, and the only man who can accept himself. It's just a false feeling. Maybe.. maybe because of the impact of the pounding on him.

But one thing is certain. After meeting with habib Khalid again he immediately worried not knowing what to choose. Will he be able to survive here in pursuit of Habib Khalid?

But he felt this place was not his place so he might have to leave. But if he leaves this place then what about his feelings for Habib Khalid?

He might not be able to forget it...

So what should he do?
