After performing the Isya prayer, Indah walked back to the stairs of the Mosque, followed by other worshipers. When praying Magrib and Isya was Indah did not see the figure of Adnan. Usually when the adhan reverberates, Adnan will be seen climbing the stairs of the Mosque, which is always beautiful waiting when the man appears from there. And after the Maghrib prayer Adnan will sit while reading the Qur'an, waiting for the Isha prayer to arrive. And at that time, Indah will look at her figure, but do not want to for long. Afraid Adnan will realize it, after all it is not good to look at someone like that continue, thought Beautiful. And after that, Indah will also read the Qur'an which she always carries, to wait for the time of Isha to arrive while adding to the reward.
Beautiful down the stairs slowly, her mind thought of something. About Adnan not being seen today.
'Did he not come? Is Adnan avoiding me? Or don't want to see me?' Inner asked.
Adnan's cold attitude towards her, made Indah think that the answer to her question was 'yes, maybe because of that.'
When we got to the last step, Beautiful tried to find something. He saw it from the right side of the stairs to the left side, but Beautiful did not find it. Yeah, one of those beautiful shoes is gone.
He saw one by one the sandals and shoes that were still in the Mosque, Behind the shoes that were upside down, trying to ascertain whether they were his or not. Then Indah started walking on the right side of the stairs, where she used to find Humairah shoes, hoping she would also find her shoes there, with her right hand holding her other shoes. But there's nothing there. Beautiful starts to look anxious, if you think of having to go home without wearing footwear. Beautiful again walked to the other side of the stairs, but still he did not find anything there.
"What is this, why are my shoes missing?" Beautiful grumbling slowly.
There were only a few shoes at the base of the stairs. After a long search, Indah began to get tired, finally he decided to go home without using footwear. However, when he turned around to leave the place, suddenly in front of him there was a man who he had been thinking about. He was holding a black ballet shoe with a small ribbon.
"Is this yours?" Adnan asked, revealing the shoes he was holding.
Beautiful seconds glued to see it, not believing if Adnan is now in front of him. To regain consciousness in his daydream.
"Is this yours?" Ask again. This time with a pretty strong intonation.
"Eehh.. i. yes." Beautiful nervous.
" I found it there." While pointing towards the bushes around the mosque.
"There seem to be children who are idle." Reciprocity.
'I can't find it, it was there. While I keep looking here.' Beautifully said in my heart.
"Here, put it on." Adnan lowered his head and placed the shoe near Beautiful's feet.
Degs.....
Beautiful jerked, her heart was beating so fast. He did not expect Adnan to behave like that. For Indah, what Adnan did was something very special.
'Oh my goodness, my God, my heart....' His mind continuously.
"Te. thank you."Say Beautiful with a look down when Adnan has finished putting down his shoes.
Without replying to Beautiful speech, Adnan passed from before him. Leaving the beautiful that is still sculpting, my tarpaku, for what happened.
...***...
Beautiful keeps thinking about the incident, until he who every night always reads the novel now just lies imagining Adnan, when Adnan lowered his head and put Beautiful shoes near his feet. It's beautiful to keep smiling. He thought today the incident he experienced was like the story of Cinderella in a fairy tale. When the Prince brought and gave a shoe to match on Cinderella's foot. But the difference tonight, the Prince was acting so cold.
"Sometimes I don't understand you, Adnan. On one hand you're being so cold to me. But on the other hand, the attention you give seems to make me realize one thing, YOU ARE NOT DISTURBED BY MY PRESENCE. And today is a very special day for me. At school you helped me when my head was almost hit by a book. And tonight, you're back to help me. Not just helping, but treating you like I'm special to you. Hhuufftt. Why did he find my shoes? Did he see me looking for those shoes?

"Good, you ready, son?"
"She, wait a minute."
"Hurry son, mama's late."
Beautiful again tidied up her school uniform, standing staring at her reflection in the mirror. Tidying up her slightly slanted hijab. Then took his bag and immediately came out of the room, towards the terrace, his mother had been waiting for him from earlier.
"Yuk Ma." Beautiful words when you get to the terrace. Ms. Dania was seen sitting down accompanied by a glass of tea that was running out.
"Yes, Yuk." Grabbing the motor keys that have been prepared from earlier on the table, wearing a helmet, and then immediately leave with Indah.
Arriving at school...
"Good to go in first Ma." Lovely grabbing Ms. Dania's hand and kissing her.
"Dear, study hard."
"Ready Ma, hehe... Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullah."
Lovely walk towards the school gate, and Ms. Dania immediately set off towards her workplace.
That morning, the school was crowded. Motorcycles enter the school environment. There are also some students who come to be escorted by their parents or other families, and some choose to walk.
Beautifully walking leisurely entered the school gate, yet suddenly a student on a motorcycle also entered the gate at a fairly high speed. To the extent that he did not notice if there were other students in front of him, and the results...
"Beautiful!!! Watch out!!!" Someone grabbed Lovely's right hand quickly. slightly embrace it from behind to protect Indah from the motorcycle that almost grabbed her.
"Aarrggh..." Shouted Adnan.
Although managed to save Indah, but Adnan less quickly. His left hand which he used to protect the body of Beautiful was even hit by the steering wheel of the motorcycle.
A pretty panicked atmosphere enveloped the people who saw the incident. Beautiful who was initially confused by what happened was very surprised when she saw Adnan in pain, while holding his left arm
"Sister Adnan, brother... Is it okay?" Beautiful Tanya who reflexively turned around and directly held Adnan's left arm.
"You don't papa, do you?" Adnan turned around to ask.
"Nobody got hurt, right?" With a face that endured the pain, Adnan kept asking Indah about her condition.
Beautiful had been silent for a moment, looking at the face of a man who now looks very worried, without caring about himself.
"A. No. No one was hurt."
"Huuff... Thank goodness." Adnan breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon a teacher and Pak Wawan who were at the place, brought Adnan to UKS, followed by Indah. While students who grazed Adnan's arm were immediately taken to the BK room.
Uks Room
"Allow me to be here first Ma'am, Brother Adnan was hurt for helping me earlier." Beautiful speech when arriving in front of the UKS room.
"No need, son, you're gonna be belling soon, you're gonna have to go to class."Answer Miss Eka. Bu Eka is in charge in the UKS space.
"But Ma'am..."
"When you rest, you can come here to see Adnan, yahh..."
Beautifully silent for a moment
"I'm fine, don't worry." Adnan said without looking in the direction of Beautiful. His right hand holds his injured left arm.
Beautifully staring at Adnan for a moment, he was very worried about this man.
"All right, ma'am." Say Beautiful quietly, in a disappointed tone.
Bu Eka then brought Adnan into the UKS room and treated him. While Beautiful, with a doubtful step towards the classroom.
Arriving in class Indah told everything about what happened to Sinta. Sinta listened carefully.
"Sir Adnan until wounded like that. It's all my fault Sin?" Beautiful looking sad.
" It was a wonderful accident, not your fault. Don't feel guilty like that. I salute Adnan, because he is at the right time and place. It's a good thing there's him, otherwise your situation would be worse than he is now." Sinta thought.
"Hmmm.... Hhuuff...." Beautiful exhaled a long breath, thinking of Sinta's words.
Beautifully follow the learning with great agitation. His body may be in class, but his heart and mind are elsewhere. He kept thinking about Adnan's situation, until several times had to accept a reprimand from the teacher who taught again, because Indah kept daydreaming and only noticed the clock on his arm.
Kkrriinngg.....
The break bell rang loudly. Beautifully walked out of class when the teacher had ended the lesson. Fast-forward to the UKS space.
With a breath of breath Beautiful arrived at the UKS room. Adnan was sitting on one of the beds in the right corner of the room.
The UKS space in this school is not very large, only 10x8m in size, with a fairly large glass window right at the front when we enter the UKS space. But this time, the large window was closed with gray curtains. There are 2 beds in each corner of the room, typical of beds in puskesmas or hospitals. There is also 1 glass cupboard placed between the two beds. And one table is also a seat near its entrance.
Beautiful breath for a moment. Actually Beautiful always nervous when near Adnan. But this time his worries overcame his nervousness. He dared to speak to Adnan.
It was beautiful approaching a few steps. He stood in front of the bed on the left side of the room, but they were still facing each other. Adnan looks wrong behavior, by scratching his head that does not itch.
"Ba... How's sister?" Beautifully asked doubtfully.
"I've been feeling better." Adnan replied without looking in the direction of Beautiful.
Beautifully looked at the man in front of him for a while, looking at the wound of his left arm. Her arms seemed to be scratched and blue, Lovely was increasingly feeling guilty.
"I'm sorry brother, because I'm brother Adnan hurt." Beautiful speech down.
" It's okay, it's not your fault either, so there's no need to apologize."
"How's brother doing now? Does the wound still hurt?"
"It's just a little cut just sprained a little bit. Ms. Eka has also treated it earlier, some days will also be healed." This time Adnan answered quite long.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Beautiful and Adnan were immersed in their respective minds.
"I'm..." Indah and Adnan spoke together, making their views accidentally met.
"Not just yet." Beautiful Saying.
"No, you go first."
Lovely nods.
"I'd like to say..." Beautifully speaking, a schoolgirl suddenly entered the room in a hurry.
"Yinan!" Call the student who ran straight to Adnan.
"You're okay, right? Said you were riding a motorbike at the school gate, you were hurt?" He said, now standing in front of Adnan, holding his shoulder, looking for the injured part of Adnan's body.
"What the hell Ayu, don't hold me." Adnan removed Ayu's hand from his shoulder and looked towards Indah.
His name is Ayudya, he is Adnan's classmate. From the very beginning he went to that school, he already liked Adnan, and almost all of their classmates knew about it. She is also one of the students who are quite famous in school because of the influence of her parents, besides that her beautiful face makes her liked by many students in the school. But unlike Adnan, Adnan did not like Ayu at all. He has even tried to stay away from her many times, and several times rejected Ayu when she expressed love for Adnan. However, Adnan's cold attitude and different from other men make Ayu increasingly continue to try to get Adnan.
Indah was very surprised to see Ayu's treatment to Adnan, she felt like the third person in the room. Beautiful jerked, mute.
"Your hand still hurts? I'm taking it..." Say Ayu while sitting next to Adnan.
"No need, Miss Eka treated me earlier." Answer Adnan cuek.
"Why did you get to gini? I'm so worried to know when I hear you're hurt." One kept talking. While Adnan, many times staring in the direction of Beautiful. Worry if Indah thinks of herself and Ayu.
The beautiful who could no longer hold herself back finally gave up. Slowly stepping away from Adnan and Ayu, it was better he went before before he could no longer stem his tears.
"Indh..." Adnan said restrained.
Adnan saw the sadness in her eyes, and it made her very agitated.
Beautiful running towards the toilet. Right now, it was the best place to hide the grief that he had been enduring.
Many times Beautiful wiped her tears that just kept flowing. Right now his heart was so tight, for some reason he was so sad to see the closeness between Adnan and Ayu. Until the doorbell rang, Indah was still reluctant to leave the toilet. His eyes were still red from crying, he finally decided to stay there and missed the lesson that was about to come in.
