Nasifa let out a long breath. He hoped that what his sister said was true.
"Good, my brother was happy to hear that. By the way, Habib Danu sent you an invitation. He said he wanted to talk to you about a lot of things. You want a no, deck?" Tanya Nasifa switched the conversation.
Coincidentally this morning there was an invitation from Habib Danu for his sister. The language is invitation but the intention of this invitation is to see Nadira whether it can be used as a wife or not.
Hearing what Nasifa was talking about, Nadira immediately shook her head resolutely to show rejection.
"No, brother. Better that brother go." Nadira refused.
Nasifa shook her head helplessly.
"No way can. You know for yourself, don't you, if you already have a fiancee?"
Before having a fiancee he also used to often get many invitations that make the head very dizzy. But now he already had and it was not good to accept another man's invitation.
"Yes, I don't want to, brother. I'm not ready to think about it yet." Nadira said he still refused the invitation.
Not only this invitation, but maybe for other invitations he will never accept it.
Because...
Hem, he had thought of someone else in his heart...
"Well, if you're still not ready, I'll talk to Umi."
Tok
Tok
Tok
Nadira's bedroom door was knocked.
Cclack
Then the head came up from outside.
"Lunch, eat gih. Umi and the others were waiting at the dinner table."
Reminded of food, Nasifa and Nadira only realized that their stomachs had been empty to fill.
"Eat, yuk?" Take Nasifa.
Nadira is hungry too. He was impatient to eat food made directly by Umi and others.
"Yuk, brother. Nadira already misses the same cuisine This and others."
The two of them then went out to the dining room. There were already many people who greeted Nadira with smiles and hugs.
They pull Nadira to the dinner table, giving Nadira a wide variety of delicious foods that are difficult to spend.
Nadira was very happy. His big eyes looked at the beaming faces of his family while searching for the whereabouts of someone. Wishing anxiously in his heart whether or not that person came to enliven his arrival.
But unfortunately, he did not find the existence of the owner of a handsome face that he always looked at through photos only.
"Where is Habib Thalib?" Nadira asked the person beside her seat.
The man shook his head not knowing.
"Habib Thalib was invited this morning, but he had business in the office so he couldn't come."
Nadira nodded small. Habib Khalid was a smart and clever man, he must be very busy in the cottage now.
It's okay, we can meet sometime. Nadira was not sad.
After all, they still had plenty of opportunities to be considerate.
"Not cool you ah, Aish. Eating time yellow rice is not ngajak-ngajak." Dira sulks.
Returning home from the cafeteria he and Gisel took Aish's lunch ration. Because of Aish they are both often advised by kitchen people. He said it was not good to stay out of the cafeteria and if repeated, the canteen people would not be eating for Aish.
Dira and Gisel are ashamed, but they keep asking for Aish's ration because they have promised. They also watched Aish eat nothing in the room.
"Sorry, sorry. I've been able to eat everything because yellow rice is delicious." Said Aish making excuses.
This is the grant of habib Khalid directly specific to himself so may dong Aish selfish at all times.
"Lunch you eat, yeah. I'm full of it." Aish generously pushed the rice wrap in front of her.
Glancing at the rice wrap in front of him, Dira with ogah-ogahan took it.
"Aish, who gave you yellow rice?" Gisel was already full and did not join Dira.
Aish's fate in the boarding house is much better than the two of them. I don't know who the benefactor is because a few times Aish will be sent food.
Aish's face suddenly warmed. He looked at the box under his bed with a faint longing.
"This is from brother Khalid..." Answer Aish shyly.
Dira and Gisel looked at each other. Aish always dodged when asked, but now Aish seems to have opened up.
Swallow food in his mouth, "Seriously, Aish?" Dira asked with eyes full of gossip.
Aish nodded in embarrassment.
"Sister Khalid was loving from the window." Aish said.
Gisel and Dira immediately glanced at the window behind Aish. The window is always open day and night so that air can enter the room. Understandably, one room is filled by 40 santriwati so the room feels a bit crowded. Especially for the three of them who are used to having their own room.
"Well, you're so good, Aish. I'm more convinced that Habib Thalib must be nothing to you." Said Dira clucking in envy.
This friend was lucky to be noticed by men as good as the habib of Thalib.
Aish smiled shyly.
"Don't say anything weird, if you hear each other's children it could be a disaster!" Aish said in warning.
Things related to habib Khalid have always been a trending topic in this boarding school. Aish was surprised when she found out. He never thought if Habib Khalid became a very famous idol in the boarding school.
Dira rolled his eyeballs no matter what,"Emang in reality is that, really. Among all the people, the only one she often notices is you, Aisha Rumaisha."
Gisel patted Aish on the shoulder.
"What Dira says is true, Aish. Just be confident that habib Thalib must be nothing to you."
Hearing the words of his best friend, Aish inevitably returned to hope again. If his two best friends could see and judge Khalid's habib's excellent attitude towards him, then why was Aish still hesitating?
I don't know, Aish still didn't dare to think too much about it.
"Okay, don't talk weird. Immediately finish the food so we can go to the library followed by Siti the same as others." Aish won't continue this conversation again.
Dira shrugged his shoulders indifferently while speeding up his food feed. Meanwhile, Gisel immediately opened his wardrobe and took the books he had borrowed in the library.
He borrowed two books from the library and never read them. Gisel just put it in the closet so it doesn't get damaged while waiting for the loan time to mature and immediately return it.
Not that Gisel does not like to read books, really, he still likes to read even though he is not a person who belongs to the class of outstanding students. As long as there is and interesting, he must be interested in reading books with language notes that are easy to understand!
It is no secret that the books in the boarding school are dominant in Arabic and quite difficult to understand.
Well, the cottage boy alone is quite difficult especially himself who has never touched all those lessons?
