Chapter 10 - Azzam

"Keenand, Likha, you guys go right away, then you guys just go back to the dorms, we'll be together again tomorrow after school." Ba'ih interrupted Keenand and Likha, the two friends nodded. Then they immediately went to the campus of the people they would meet.

"Likha, hold on tight, don't you fall later." Keenand immediately rode a motorbike belonging to the boarding house with Likha. The two of them immediately headed for a fairly well-known university in this city and this university is still an institution with schools plus the archipelago. both take shelter in the same foundation.

"Don't go speeding Keen, I'm afraid." Likha grasped Keenand's waist tightly. Meanwhile, without Likha knowing, Keenand smiled triumphantly because he managed to make Likha hug him and Likha did not realize Keenand's naughty actions because Likha never thought bad things about other people and were not important.

"Likha, wake up! We're here." Keenand was still holding Likha's hand which was curled around his stomach. Likha immediately opened her eyes, she then saw that the surrounding was a very large and clean campus which was also very beautiful because of the many trees around it. Likha felt her hand gripped tightly by Keenand and her body pressed against Keenand's back, she immediately pulled her hand away and away from Keenand. Likha immediately got off Keenand's motorbike.

"Sorry, Likha, I didn't mean to make you hug me, but I had to hold your hand because you were asleep. I was afraid you would fall." Keenand explained to Likha and Likha understood.

"Never mind Keen, I thank you. Let's immediately find the person we will meet, what was his name?" Likha asked, forgetting the name of the person she was going to meet.

"Um, for a moment, Muhammad Abdullah Azzam ... yes, this is his name," Keenand was very happy because he had just remembered the name of the person they were going to meet. Keenand then took his cellphone and called Azzam, Ba'ih earlier gave Azzam's contact to Keenand to make their meeting easier. Azzam then asked Keenand to meet him in his class. Azzam is a student majoring in architecture, so Keenand and Likha were soon able to meet Azzam because Azzam was quite famous.

"Excuse me, good afternoon. We want to meet with Azzam, are you the one?" asked Keenand and Likha when they found someone with their backs to them. When Azzam turned around, Likha was very surprised because it turned out that the person they were going to invite to their school was the one who helped her this morning.

"Azzam"

"Likha"

both of them called their names at the same time, Keenand became confused.

"Likha you know him?" asked Keenand curiously. Likha just nodded and scratched her nape which didn't itch.

"Azzam is the one who helped me this morning when I fell." Likha only told Keenand as she had just said.

"Likha, your forehead is still bruised. You will come with me for a while." Azzam took Likha's hand and looked at Keenand with a sharp gaze.

"You wait here for a moment," Keenand was immediately silent, he could only watch Likha being taken away by Azzam.

"You're so careless! It's been since this morning why your wound is still swollen? Aren't you treating it, you're waiting for someone else to treat your wound?" asked Azzam sarcastically. He didn't stop thinking that Likha was afraid of being late for school. He should have been able to ask his teacher for permission. After all, she disappeared yesterday, surely the person in charge of the dormitory and her homeroom teacher would understand that Likha's permission today, but the girl didn't think about herself.

"Sorry, Azzam, when I arrived at the dormitory I immediately changed my uniform and went to school because it was almost late. Earlier during the break, Keenand had compressed it with ice cubes, but because it's been too long the swelling hasn't disappeared. But it's not that bad, right?" Likha felt bad about leaving Keenand alone in Azzam's class.

"Why is Keenand compressing you, why don't you think about yourself? You sloppy girl!" Azzam got angry for no reason. Now that they had arrived at the campus canteen, Azzam immediately bought ice cubes and wrapped them in a handkerchief, and then he compressed the bruises on Lycha's forehead. Azzam's face was very close to Likha's, so Likha could feel Azzam's warm breath on her face.

People who had heard of Azzam were surprised that Azzam was so attentive to a high school girl, they stared in astonishment but did not dare to come close. Azzam doesn't have many friends on this campus, even though there are actually many students on campus who secretly like him.

"Sorry Azzam, I told you earlier that I didn't have time. After all, this is just a bruise, no need to panic sis. Two or three days it will heal itself." Likha is indeed an easygoing girl, she doesn't really pay attention to her appearance. He is more concerned with school. So if anyone wants to be friends with him, Alhamdulillah, if not, no problem. Likha wanted to show this is what he is.

"You stupid girl, you are too innocent to live in this city." Azzam then handed Likha a handkerchief filled with ice cubes and then invited Likha to return to his class to meet Keenand. Likha and Azzam arrived back and met Keenand, they [Likha and Keenand] expressed their intention to meet Azzam and Azzam also accepted an invitation from the Likha and Keenand schools. After they felt they had enough business, Likha and Keenand immediately said goodbye to Azzam. They returned to the dormitory, Keenand escorted Likha to the front gate of the girls' dormitory.

"Thanks, Keen, I'll go in first. You be careful." When Likha is about to enter into Likha, Likha then turns back towards Keenand.

Keenand called Likha.

"Likha waits, I want to ask you something," Keenand shouted calling

"What's more, Keen, I'm so tired." Likha stomped her foot, but it only made Keenand irritated.

"It's about Azzam, why are you that close? Is it true that you just met this morning?" Keenand asked Likha who looked very tired.

"Tomorrow I'll tell you at school, Keen, I'm tired, bye .." Likha immediately turned and left Keenand. Meanwhile, Keenand stared desperately at Likha's back, which was now farther and farther away. Keenand then left the gates of the girls' dormitory with a heart that still didn't accept that there were other men who paid more attention to Likha and it seemed Likha also really enjoyed Azzam's attention to her. Keenand felt Likha's attitude towards Azzam was warmer than when he was with him.

"Likha, why don't you accept my love? Have you fallen in love with the man who helped you? Or don't you really want to think about things like that?" Keenand felt very frustrated. Then he drove his motorbike to the men's dormitory, he would wait for Likha to explain to him the next day.
