The Love of Habib

Chapters 9.2

Aish immediately sharpened his ears while bowed with a face that began to cloud over. There were many possibilities dancing around in his head and out of all those possibilities, Aish was very hopeful that habib Khalid would answer no. No, this one word alone had already extinguished the flames of his unease.

But, something's weird. Why is it that up to this moment he still has not heard Habib Khalid's answer?

Is what Khalisa said right?

If it is true, then,

Aish clenched her hands restrained agitatedly. He raised his head peering towards the habib Khalid-dug!

Their eyes meet. Aish's body instantly froze in place. His eyes were immediately fixated as if bewitched with the dark eyes of the habib. His dark eyes were very clear and clean, with no red thread or dirt, Aish seemed to be staring at the surface of the lake somewhere soothing.

Aish blinked lightly. To be honest looking directly into the eyes of Habib Khalid was too overwhelming and challenging in his heart, he was happy to mix in fear because those eyes were like a magic trap that bound his soul. Even turning away was very difficult, even more reluctant because Aish also craved this feeling.

"What he said is not true. I have no fiancee and I am not bound by any matchmaking with anyone. As long as those words don't come out of my mouth straight away, then the news is a lie." Habib Khalid's heavy voice was like morning dew that instantly extinguished his restlessness.

Aish became dazed. His apricot eyes trembled violently staring at the impeccably handsome face that was now smiling at him. Aish's lips opened but did not utter a word.

He wondered, wondering if Habib Khalid had someone in his heart?

Can the lucky person be him?

His lips moved involuntarily, but for some reason Aish paused his intention to ask.

He turned his face to the side, hiding a red hue on his hot cheek.

He's misbehaving.

"Then habib, why did he confess that habib Thalib already had a fiancee and asked Aish not to disturb Habib Thalib again." Dira made use of the still hot iron and began to speak.

As soon as Dira asked, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Khalisa felt his back turn cold and even his face paled. He was panicked and confused how to explain it to Habib Khalid because he never expected to meet with Habib Khalid here.

And what he regretted the most was that habib Khalid immediately denied the engagement, but did not react to any rumors that spread some time!

"Habit..." Khalisa called out with shame mixed with sadness.

His color-losing lips trembled withstanding the sobs that were ready to take off at any moment.

It feels so embarrassing.

Habib glanced at him coldly and ignored his existence.

"I don't mind anything anyone else talks about me but not this. For me this matter is very important and concerns my future. I don't want this matter to make someone destined for me rush away from me for misunderstanding. And I don't want to hurt her more because of this hoax. Therefore I will not tolerate what is said about this matter. This time it's a warning but if this repeats itself, I won't take a stand of silence." Habib Khalid replied flat and emotionless.

No, isn't this possible?

Is the person in question habib Khalid himself?

Is possible? You see, I'm the same brother Khalid just met and don't know each other very well. So, isn't this a bit..impossible? Aish's mind was confused.

Meanwhile, everyone-no, all of them who happened to be here and eavesdropping on the conversation secretly took a cold breath. Habib Khalid's words were very serious and quite romantic, making them jealous of someone who was lucky and missed the position of the lucky woman.

No one pity how sad Khalisa is at the moment because they are all also somewhat upset with Khalisa who plays claiming that Habib Khalid has a fiancee. If they immediately believed and Habib Khalid was not here to clarify, then it is conceivable they would be mass heartbroken. Because the person they admire secretly has in fact been bound to an arranged marriage with another woman.

But luckily habib Khalid was here and clarified everything! They were very relieved and secretly grateful.

"Continue what about the recent rumors, habib? Doesn't that also interfere with personal life, habib?" Meri asked in embarrassment.

Habib Khalid raised his head and caught the eyes of the apricot of someone who had been stealing glances at him.

Caught wet, Aish's cheeks felt very heavy and hot. He immediately lowered his head pretending to be calm and trying to negate his existence - which was honestly very striking!

"What rumor, what rumor? Are there any recent rumors about me?" Ask habib Khalid casually.

All those who came with Habib Khalid,"...." Habib, the only male santri who is not directly related to santriwati has known this rumor. Then why do you who are always in the center of the crowd still not know it?!

"That's..." Meri suddenly did not know what to say.

She has been humiliated by Aish's friends and she also wants to humiliate them back. But it is a pity that Habib Khalid did not play according to the current!

He thought habib Khalid would be distracted and scold Aish outright, but who would have thought that habib Khalid actually did not know about the rumors some time ago!

"Habib Thalib, please forgive me." Khalisa hurriedly spoke to apologize to the habib.

He knew that this matter might extend the distance between them so he immediately apologized for making up for it.

Habib Khalid did not see him nor did he speak. His attitude was very clear, he ignored Khalisa directly.

Khalisa bit his lips in pain. His red eyes slowly began to cry in regret.

"It's all a misunderstanding, I didn't mean to disturb Habib Khalid with what I said. But I intend well, I want to free Habib Khalid from the rumors that have been circulating for some time so that no one will disturb Habib Khalid. That way at least habib Khalid was spared from unfounded rumors in the cottage." He made an excuse.

The reason is also reasonable and understandable. The basis of which is disturbed by these rumors is not only Khalisa but almost all the secret admirers of habib Khalid. All this time they have been troubled by rumors of the proximity of habib Khalid and Aish. They were jealous but could do nothing but wait passively for Habib Khalid to clarify it directly.
