I don't know what's wrong with Sari. Because since coming out of the bathroom, Sari's face became gloomy and sullen. He refused to speak and only occasionally grumbled indistinctly.
Ai is not the type of person who talks a lot and is not also the type of person who is good at entertaining. So he paid more attention without saying anything to Sari. But Herlina, Sulastri, and Asri tried to comfort Sari. They say short words like,
"Don't think too much,"
"He's not serious,"
"I'm sorry for him" And so on.
But Sari's response was just an indistinct grunt with no intention of putting their words into her heart. Even Sari actually looked at him several times, making Ai confused and did not know what to do.
"Ai, are you and Mega friends?" Sari asked immediately made the others panic.
"Oh, forget about this. He's not seriously doing it." Herlina persuaded Sari.
But Sari did not want to hear and instead attacked back at Herlina with scathing words.
"How can I forget about it when my pride has just been trampled on?! You're good at not being in my position just now and can only be a spectator!" Said upset.
Asri does not like the way Sari talks, "Just take this lesson for you so as not to speak anymore. And Mega means well with you, he reminds you not to cross the line again in the future-"
"Oh so you guys prefer the same sex as that arrogant girl?" Cut Sari getting more and more.
The others breathed heavily. They think Sari is too childish and likes to extend the problems she creates herself.
"What happened to Mega? Did you guys fight?" Ai's voice distracts Sari.
Mega, he already remembered who this girl was. Mega is the girl he once clashed with in kindergarten school. It was just an ordinary little boy's quarrel but the effect up had to involve both of their people. After the incident Ai was not allowed to return to kindergarten school and study at home before entering elementary school.
Since then, he has never met Mega again.
"Yes, your friend is very arrogant. He pushed me down and mocked me with harsh words. Tell me honestly Ai, do you still want to be friends with people like that?" Sari complained.
The point is, Ai can't be friends with anyone but them.
"Mr.." Ai hesitated to answer.
He remembers his quarrel with Mega 11 years ago but he also remembers Mega's kindness today. Starting from his defense when he was cornered by Frida until his kindness gave Ai to borrow her face during Zuhur prayer last afternoon.
Mother and Father said rather than remembering someone's ugliness, it is better to remember someone's kindness. After all, the quarrel happened when they were children and did not know the world so Ai could not take it seriously.
He is convinced, Mega has turned into a better person than ever before.
"Do you still want to be friends with someone like that?" Sari pressed Ai.
"I wouldn't refuse to be friends with anyone if they didn't reject me." It means he wants to be friends with Mega.
Sari clucked in annoyance.
"I said he was arrogant and behaving badly"
"Mother and Dad said to always remember the good of people rather than remember the bad of people. Because it could be that the ugliness they do it happens because of an error while the goodness they do is the color of their true heart. The business of the heart, we can not guess but that does not mean we cannot hope. I'm sure Mega did that, not because she meant badly to you. She must be-"
"The rich are the same, huh! Instead of making friends with us who are poor why don't you just go befriend him who is a fellow rich man!" Cut Sari mad.
He looked at Ai biased as if looking at someone who was irritating the eyes. The point is he's very angry at the moment. He does not want Ai to be friends with others in addition he is also angry to hear Ai's defense of Mega.
He can't take it.
Asri wanted to say something to Sari but when she saw Ai's patient face, she immediately paused her intention. He retreated backwards and walked on Ai's side. Honestly, he would rather be friends with Ai alone than be stuck with Sari's selfish person.
After arriving at the dormitory they immediately took the mukena, prayer mats, and Quran before going to the mosque. On the way to the mosque they met many santriwati who did not want to come late. They spoke lightly, chuckled, and some did not speak at all like Ai's group.
Once at the mosque they immediately went up to the second floor while hoping to get the front saf. Because if they are on the front saf they can look down through the iron fence in front. This is a very tempting bonus for a shy santriwati.
Even Ai alone could not resist this temptation. He wanted to be on the front foot of the saf in order to see Ustad Vano. Hem, he also wanted to get ridho of God but also wanted to see Ustad Vano become a priest again.
But honey, they are late or rather the ones who came too soon. The front row is full, leaving the middle and back rows.
