The Love of Habib

Chapters 22.1

There was no one in this room but him. Habib Khalid went out of nowhere, while he was in charge of cleaning up the room occupied by Habib Khalid. He did not feel anxious about being left alone. Actually, he was happy because he could spend a lot of time cleaning and tidying up his lover's belongings.

Aw,

"Overnight we've been expressing each other's feelings, but we haven't decided what our relationship is now." He muttered while wiping the bookshelves.

There was also one point where Aish wanted to ask Habib Khalid. But their conversation didn't last long last night so he couldn't ask. Then after finishing the tahajud prayer and dawn prayer, he also could not speak because he had to teach. He had no chance to express his thoughts to Habib Khalid.

Wondering inwardly what does habib Khalid say that he doesn't want Aish to like him, but wants Aish to fall in love with him. The implication of these words is that habib Khalid loved Aish before Aish himself. She has long harbored these feelings and has not expressed them as Aish may not have loved her yet.

So, uh,

"Did Khalid's brother deliberately give me a lot of punishment for falling in love with him? Fftth! Impossible. What normal person would fall in love if punished constantly.eh, but it could be. You see, Khalid's brother is handsome, most likely people who are punished constantly by will fall in love and not hate him. Em, because I know myself. Although Khalid's brother is cruel if he gives punishment, but actually he is also very good. I noticed sometimes he would give leniency to the punishment we were serving. For example, when we were punished for cleaning the rice fields. We were not only given food for Khalid's brother, but we were also asked to stop working after noon. Then our punishment was transferred to help the kitchen cook and clean the grounds of Umi's house. Compared to working in the paddy fields, both punishments were much better and safer. We feel satisfied. Well, Brother Khalid is actually good. It's just strange why so many people say he's cruel when it comes to punishment." Aish shook her head in surprise when recalling the conversation of the friends in her room.

There are too many untrue rumors about her lover. That's just bullshit. As the person closest to habib Khalid in the boarding school, he knew that his lover was not such a person.

After finishing cleaning the bookshelves, Aish then switched to cleaning the nightstand beside the bed. But he had just taken the third step and his attention had already been drawn by an obsolete paper tucked between the many heavy books above number 3. Aish thought the paper was trash so he pulled it and intended to throw the paper into the trash.

"KRS?" His hands froze in the air.

He pulled the paper again and brought it forward. On that worn out paper there were countless beautiful and beautiful font shapes. But that's not what caught his attention.

CR,

These two letters are scattered everywhere on outdated paper following the change of many fonts. There is even Arabic writing written with beautiful calligraphy.

Looking at these two letters, Aish's heart instantly thumped. He held his neck, touching the necklace that habib Khalid had given him as a solace for the sorrow in his heart. This necklace also comes from the KR jewelry company.

KR, does KR have anything to do with habib Khalid?

There is suspicion in my heart. He guessed with a very wonderful feeling. Whether it was shock, hard to believe, and even admiration... Everything is mixed in the heart.

Smiling brightly, his hands deftly folded the worn paper and returned it to the top of the shelf. This must be very important to habib Khalid so he won't throw it away.

He then continued his activities to clean this room until the sound of the door distracted him.

Habib Khalid entered the room with two white plastic bags in hand.

"Assalamualaikum, have you been waiting?" He asked, taking his footsteps into the room.

Aish stopped cleaning the room and took two plastic bags from the hands of Habib Khalid.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Not long, brother. I don't really feel it because it's too cool to clean the room." His eyes glowed brightly when he said.

As if to say that he wants to be praised for all the work he has done.

Habib Khalid laughed amusedly. His big hand touched the top of Aish's head, and stroked it slowly.

"Thank you for helping me clean it up. Because of not coming back here for a month, this room became dusty and not managed. Fortunately you are here. Thank ye. Oh yeah, I just bought chicken porridge. Last time I noticed you seemed to like the chicken porridge I bought. And especially for you, there are a lot of quail eggs in it." Habib Khalid pulled Aish to sit on the carpet.

He went out for a while to buy breakfast. Among all the good breakfast options is to buy chicken porridge. The porridge is soft and warm, very suitable for an empty stomach. But the most important thing of all is that Aish likes him.

Aish lowered her head to hide the red hue on both of her cheeks.

"En, thank you, brother. I love the porridge that you bought last time and I'm also grateful that you noticed the food I love." His heart feels sour. Because Dad never notices what he likes, maybe Dad doesn't really know what foods he likes and dislikes.

Tastes bitter.

"Don't think about the past. Look, I'm right here. I will fulfill everything you want and pay attention to whatever you like and dislike. With me here, you don't need to remember the past." Habib Khalid said to Aish.

It feels like seeing the idol grieving for remembering the past. She had never seen how Aish lived in that house. But she knew me that her lover was often hurt by being sidelined by that family. A few months ago when she came to visit the house to look for Grandpa as a reminder that it was time to send Aish away, she saw that everyone's attention was only on Aira. They spoke softly and sweetly of Aira to attract her attention to Aira. At that time he could not say how his heart was feeling. He just thinks that this is how a family that is favoritism and too trusting of the arrival of new people. Trusting Mother Aira too much makes them forget that Aish also once had a Mother whom they had pushed slowly with the brink of destruction.
