The Princess Archery Competition

Today it is Sania's turn to enter the competition, which is in the princess archery branch. 30 Schools followed suit. Representing each school.

Since 6:00 am Sania and the participants have been present at the GOR field. Likewise with the supporters of their respective schools, who helped give encouragement to their friends. Just behind Sania and the team has been present Sania's friends, namely Rianti, Ira and Wulan. Of course their presence adds to his passion to win this competition.

"The spirit of Sania and the team, you can definitely!" exclaim them.

All provide moral support for their friends who will be competing today. So that the faces full of spirit so radiated.

At 08:00 the competition begins. The MC starts to explain the rules of the game,

"Assalamualaikum, good morning brothers, ready to compete today?" greet MC.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, ready!" answer the participants.

"Well, I'll explain the rules of the game. In this first round of preliminaries we will divide into five waves. One wave will advance ten people who will be called according to your back number. To determine who five people survive and five people will be eliminated based on your achievements.

"You will be judged on the speed and accuracy of your bow child reaching the board in front. Whether it's on target or not. Same with the next wave. From there we will know who will be the best top five of each wave. They will also be entitled to fight in the final round later. So give your best today, yeah. So that you can follow this competition until the end and come out as winners. Aamiin's."

For a moment the MC sighed and then continued,

"Well, now I'll call anyone who's going forward in this first part, all get ready, yeah."

It turned out that Sania was the first one to come forward representing her school along with five other people. With complete confidence, Sania came forward. All eyes seemed serious about paying attention to the participants, hoping full that they could stay afloat, not be left out.

Same with the other participants.

The voices also seemed to give

support to their heroes. A few eyes seemed to notice the appearance of Sania who was only alone in veiling. Even among all the participants only he himself had a veil. Various views are different, some are amazed, but not a few also look cynical and dismissive.

Until they hear their comments, both positive and negative,

"Who's the veiled girl?"

"Great he, not ashamed, dared to be different."

"A girl like that is willing to close her aura as perfect as that, great! It's rare in this age to be that kind of person."

" What could he be?"

"Don't you feel bothered with that archery equipment with that kind of appearance?"

"Don't he *******? Or an enemy spy disguised as a student?"

"Why is his face closed, what is he hiding?"

Their comments were actually quite disturbing for Sania, especially on the negative throws. But he tried not to care about it. Trying to stay focused. While his friends seemed unable to hold back emotions. Moreover, Wulan, who indeed could never hide what was in her heart.

The one from earlier spoke looked surprised, but then paid no heed to his reprimand. They keep gossiping about Sania's appearance. That certainly provoked his anger. Almost Wulan walked up to them and taught them a lesson if not prevented by his friends.

"That's it, no need for emotion. We'll see who wins. People like them don't need to be answered with spicy words anymore. If we are like that as well, it means we are just as bad as them, "reproves Rianti while trying to hold back his emotions as well.

Hearing that, Wulan immediately tried to temper her emotions. He began to regulate his breathing which felt tight from holding back emotions from earlier. Then Wulan approached Sania, patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "You don't get swayed by their nonsense. Stay focused on this competition. We're sure you can. We all support you. "

Hearing that, Sania smiled and looked at her companions, "Thank you for the support. Pray for me, yes. I hope I didn't disappoint you. Don't worry, I won't be affected. I'm used to this. Instead I take it as a challenge so that I give all my best."

Hearing that, his three best friends were seen smiling with relief, while raising their two thumbs. He was praising his mental toughness. Sania also re-gathers her spirit that had come down.

Finally, the "crawl" incident was successfully faced. The MC also gave a warning for participants to start competing.

With complete confidence, Sania advanced along to the other ten people who were about to compete. Everyone present watched with tension. Sania began to direct her arrows towards the center of the board she was targeting, which was numbered 10. The net looks sharp and focused, gathering its concentration power to be on target. Next to his eyes seemed to be squinting to add to the foresight of his eyes.

Until the sound of cueing sounds, then they began to remove the arrows. Without forgetting to say basmalah, Sania also released her arrows along with the others. Daan.. the arrow is right about the center of the board that says the number 10. Seeing that, the atmosphere that had seemed quiet, full of tension, finally boisterous when he saw Sania managed to release her arrows without missing a single bit.

The boisterous shout came from friends, and also from school friends. They feel proud. Seeing that, Sania so shed tears for holding back the novelty that suddenly possessed her.

After the fanfare, the MC was finally able to take control of the situation. Sania and her ten competitors had returned to their seats.

As soon as Sania returned to her seat, Rianti, Ira, and Wulan immediately hugged her. Makes Sania feel happy. Their friendship is solid. From the first day of the competition they supported each other. Attend in every competition. Now they give their full support to Sania. Even defended her when Sania almost felt sad and down because of the negative comments from people who did not understand anything. Comforted him.

And people who had commented slanted cynically, had looked one eye, underestimated, looked down their heads. Shame about their previous comments. Especially after knowing, that Sania won a landslide, and entitled to follow the next round. While their heroes include people who are set aside.

Sania seemed to be approaching one of her competitors set aside. Rianti, Ira, and Wulan followed. They were worried that Sania would return to get such insults. Once close, Sania put on her sweet smile. It looks like his eyes are smiling. Sania extended her hand first.

Finally Wulan and her competitors shook hands with each other. With a vibrating voice, the competitor congratulated him on his success in this first round. And Sania humbly gave her spirit. They finally met each other.

"Sania."

"Lit."

"Alya."

"Samples."

"Sophy."

"Train."

Such is the nature of Sania, who is soft-hearted, forgiving, friendly, so as to dismiss the bad assumption about him earlier just because of his veiled appearance. Sania always remember the advice of her parents, to always be kind to anyone, especially to fellow Muslims.

Today they learned a valuable lesson, that what is seen is not necessarily like that. Allah does not see a man by his appearance and appearance, but by his fear. Moreover, the veil is not something that must be questioned let alone disputed. Rumors circulating about veiled Muslims are not entirely true.

At least, that's what they saw in Sania. Sania appears as a true Muslim. Most importantly, his appearance did not set his motion to perform as he wished.
