The Love of Habib

Chapters 19.7

After finishing his dinner, me, Dira and Gisel hurriedly returned to the dorm as fast as we could to avoid various kinds of questions from the curious santriwati. I'm not blind to not being able to see their desires. The thing in my hand is like a hot potato that attracts the hunger of the sisters. I'm not a stingy person when it comes to my stuff, but when it comes to Brother Khalid's stuff, I'm willing to be dubbed as the most twisted man in the world. Which girl wants the stuff of her heart to be contested by another woman?

I am definitely not an innocent woman.

I can't wait to see what Khalid's brother has given me. At first glance I saw some small bottles filled with drinking water. This plastic bag is very heavy.

"Let's open, I wonder what Habib Thalib gave you?"

Once we got to the dorm room, Gisel and Dira immediately scrambled to retrieve the plastic bag I was carrying.

They are like this because they are purely curious, besides this habit is fostered because every time brother Khalid gives me a bag or plastic bag, the contents must be delicious food. So they got hooked on getting food from Brother Khalid.

"What drink is this?" Dira and Gisel took out the small bottles from the plastic bag.

The drink was yellowish-white, a glimpse of milk but at the same time not milk.

"It smells good but I don't know what this drink is." Gisel opened one of the bottles and smelled it.

Dira's eyes immediately shone, "Try me to kiss?" Then he took the bottle that Gisel had opened and kissed her.

"It looks like this drink is mixed from some kind of fruit. There is a sweet fragrance of milk, there is also a sweet fragrance, em...is this a date or honey?" Dira can't explain for sure.

"Drink only. Each one of you takes two, and I'm three not to be bothered." For my two friends, I am willing to share.

"Thank God my best friend, who do the other three want to love?"

Dira and Gisel were immediately delighted. They awkwardly took two bottles into each other's arms.

They're actually very funny if you don't act annoying, seeing them I feel like I have an extra sister.

"The other two I want to give my other room friends to taste and one more bottle we can drink three. Khalid's brother just brought me 10 bottles so I can't leave everything to be shared." If not good roommates, I might not want to share. But my roommates are so kind and understanding. It is not hard to not share.

"God is our best friend. But Aish, habib Thalib didn't say anything about this drink?"

Brother Khalid didn't say anything important and just asked me to drink it.

"He said drink every day if it's not wrong." As I remember it, anyway.

"If told to drink every day maybe this drink has good benefits for our bodies. Aish, let's have a drink." Dira gave me the opened bottle.

I don't hesitate to take it. I also get thirsty because I am tired of running.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim.." I took my first small sip from the bottle.

"Uhm... It tastes good, sweet and sour. I don't know how to draw it. But seriously, this is delicious." There is a smell of milk in it mixed with a sweet fragrance that either comes from honey or dates, but there is also a sour taste that makes this drink is not too boring on the tongue.

I am addicted to drinking it. So I hurriedly gave the bottle to Dira and took my own bottle. I opened my bottle and drank it as much as I wanted.

"Great son. Aish, later if you meet with habib Thalib please ask, where did he buy this drink? You see, I want to buy a lot so I can drink whenever I want." Gisel fell in love with this drink.

The taste is unique and delicious, I myself three bottles are not enough.

"Em..later I asked you because I also want to buy." Hooh, three bottles really isn't enough.

A few minutes later, my friends started coming. They timidly asked me what Khalid's brother had given me in the canteen.

I didn't lie to them and explained honestly that it was a drink but I didn't know what the name of the drink was. And they were all so happy when I gave them two bottles to taste. Just as Dira and Gisel wanted to buy it, some of my roommates also asked the same question. They wanted to buy this drink and asked me to ask Brother Khalid.

"Who?" I don't think too much.

"Says..." She looked at me hesitantly,".she's your sister, Aira."

Oh, that kid came here when I warned him through Nana. I don't want to be in touch with Dad's family anymore and I'm also trying to calm my heart to let go of the past. That's why I didn't want to meet him. But if he continues like this let alone add trouble to me, isn't this the same as adding a wound to my heart?

"Aish, don't go." Ban Dira.

"Yes, he must be looking for you." Gisel disagreed too.

I breathe heavily.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool and now my mind has calmed down so it's not easy to get hooked." I said comfort my two best friends - ah, I should be the one in need of comfort.

I forget.

...******...

Returning home from the canteen Aira's facial expression was more black than the bottom of the pot. She was jealous and angry at the same time seeing her brother getting something from habib Khalid. She was sure her brother right now must have been very arrogant after getting a little attention from the habib. In fact it was nothing and Aira was determined to also surpass what her brother had obtained.

"I miss Mother. If there's a mother, she can help me." He muttered desperately.

"You can call your parents every Sunday at the staff office." Nana's lazy voice disperse Aira's daydream.

Nana walked over to Aira's bed and sat down naturally beside her.

"Thank you for telling me. Tomorrow I'll take Aish's sister there. Because Father and Mother miss him." Aira immediately put on her soft face.

Nana squinted distractedly with that change in expression, but did not comment anything.

"Unfortunately, your hope is only wishful thinking. Last night at dinner I had a conversation with Aish. He told me to stop bothering him again. Well, exactly stop being fake because this isn't your home anymore." Reply Nana with a smile that does not reach Aira's eyes.

Aira was aghast in shock, she did not expect Aish to say that to others. And that person is the head of his class and the leader in the room where he lives. Oh, no wonder because Aish has always been like this. He must have been ugly in front of a lot of people. In front of Dira and Gisel. Otherwise, then why did the two of them hate him so much yesterday?

You really are a snake-mouthed. Look out, I'll complain to Dad and Grandma. Inner Aira was angry.

Sighing helplessly, his white face became mellow, "Sir Aish has always been like this. He's still mad he hates me, but I never hate him even though he tried to kill me. I forgave him and wanted to be close to him, but now he's rejecting me and smashing my name in front of you. Please don't put to heart what Aish's sister said about me"

"So you really like being fake. Aira, we rarely see the world but that doesn't mean we can't see how the world works. We like to judge the character of a person. Whether it's from the way he talks, the way he looks at his face, or his attitude, this is a basic lesson for us cottage people. As for prejudice, it was born of the devil and we should avoid it as much as possible. But you... Since school I saw him. You openly want to build prejudice in the hearts of my friends, don't be like this Aira. Don't act stupid. The people you are trying to fool are the ones who have a much higher understanding than you, so stop being fake and self-destructive. This is advice from me to you. I hope you will listen to him. Excuse me." With the best smile on her face, Nana then got up from her seat and went politely to her bed.

While Aira. He stared stupidly at Nana's departure. His heart seemed to be squeezed by invisible hands. Sick and sore, he doesn't know how to describe it. His pride as if trampled, he felt humiliated just as it felt when Nadira denounced him as a girl of bad character.

"What was that? Why is Nana talking to me like that?" Aira cupped her face unable to think clearly.

His head felt dizzy filled with burning anger. And his chest felt tight to endure the pain of humiliation obtained.

"Sir Aish, this is all because of you! Why would you ruin my name in front of my own class president! What wrong?! A trashy and useless human, how dare you destroy me here! I hate you, Aish!"

Enraged, she decides to approach Aish to her room. He pulls one of the friends who say hello, asking the girl to accompany him to Aish because he also does not know where Aish's room is. Seeing Aira leave, Nana shook her head helplessly. Now she understands why Aish asked her to stop Aira from coming tonight.

"Sir Aish?" Now he was already standing in front of Aish.

Her pale face lost color looking straight at Aish with trembling lips. Slowly, the water in his eyes began to fall. She looked extremely fragile and pitiful, inviting the attention of some people who were sitting relaxing in the hallway of the dorm. Even the friend who accompanied her to Aish's room was confused by Aira's sudden cry.

"Why you?" Ask Aish jutek.
