“Buy!!! The chunky!!! Late nih.” Pekik Binar right in front of the door of Sonya's room.
“Iya! Jerk!”
Not long after, Sonya came out of her room. He held several books in his hand with a bag slung over his shoulder.
After which, the two immediately ran small out of the boarding environment. They speed up the road leading to the nursing faculty building at a University in Jakarta, located not far from their boarding.
“Makanya, if you finish the morning prayer, do not sleep again.” Binar Protest.
“Yes, Bin. My eyes were attacked by Jin. If abis prays dawn, the inn is sleepy amazing.” Sonya reasoned.
“Salahin aja jin. It's because of habit. Therefore the genie is more like to dwell on your eyelids. Seoroh Binar while giggling.”
“Damn, you.”
Their conversation ended when they entered the classroom.
Today, the schedule of the classes of Binar is full until the afternoon. Fortunately, he was fasting sunnah, so there was no need to worry about lunch.
It is different with Sonya. The tall girl continued to complain of hunger. But when Binar told him to eat in the cafeteria, he did not want to excuse ‘setia kawan’. He will wait for the Iftar and eat together. So Sonya just stuffed her stomach with a packet of bread.
“Nanggung, New. Mending fasts all of you. Why do you go to everything?”
“What I ate alone in the cafeteria. In half an hour it's time for you to break the fast.”
Binar could only shake his head to see the strangeness of his friend.
“Eh, Bin. Said Temenku, there is a new cafe open on the deck of the medical dormitory. Tasty and cheap. We try there yuk.”
“Accurate not info?” Search Binar.
“Acurate dong. The place is also very instrumental. I've been told her photo.”
“Modemu, Nyak. I just want to selfie, right?”
“Hehehe. Huh, ayuk. Later keburu late.”
“OK, we pray first after I cancel my satisfaction. That's Abis we're there."
“OK. Sip” Sonya replied with pleasure.
Adzan maghrib has reverberated. Binar immediately canceled her fast with a bottle of mineral water given by Sonya. After that, they perform maghrib prayers congregated in the mosque which is not far from the cafe of their destination.
“Bin. I went to the bathroom first. My stomach hurts so much.” Pinta Sonya with a bent face held back the pain. He immediately took off the face and placed it in the storage area inside the mosque, then immediately ran out.
Binar just looked at him without stopping his recitation. When finished, Binar also immediately folded his face and returned it to its original place.
The women have already left. Only Binar remained the last one out of the mosque. He was waiting for Sonya to come back from the bathroom.
But Sonya hasn't been back for a long time. Finally, Binar decided to bring Sonya's bag and book and wait outside the mosque.
The bewildered binar stood on the sacred boundary stairs. He was looking for the side of his shoes that had disappeared somewhere. He had walked here and there, but could not find his shoes.
From the exit of the male congregation, a man was walking past Binar. At first glance he glanced at the woman wearing a maroon red hijab with a round face and clean white, looking confused. His heart was moved to ask.
“Why.?” Ask the man.
The surprised binar immediately looked towards the sound. “Ehm, this is Mas. My shoes are missing next to.” Answer the Shame Binar. “Udah searched but not found also.”
The man nodded for a moment. Then look at the plastic package he was carrying.
“Use this first.” Said the man dimpled the cheek while handing the sandals he was wearing to Binar.
“No need, Mas. It was just as good a dipake. What will she wear?” Reject Binar feel bad.
“I brought another shoe here.” The man said, showing the plastic bag he was carrying. “Nothing. Wear aja.” The man took off his sandal and gave it to Binar.
“Please on use.”
“Still a lot huh, Mas.” Said Binar slapping his head.
The man just smiled, showing his dimples as he walked away from Binar.
“Why, Bin?” Ask Sonya who turned out to be out of the bathroom.
“My shoes are missing next.” Adu Binar's.
“Hah? How can?”
“Maybe there is more need.” Answer Binar.
“How much is next door? Are you wanted?”
“Udah. But I didn't see.”
“Continue, whose slippers?”
“There is a pity mas-mas look at me, keep him loving his sandals. Said he had spare shoes.”
Binar picked up his eleven shoes then noticed them for a moment before throwing them into the trash.
It was actually one of his favorite shoes. Shoes made of elastic material are very comfortable in the feet of Binar. That's why he likes those shoes. But the shoes no longer have a soul mate, although still good, Binar had to throw it away.
“Yaudah, yuk.” Take Sonya later. He asked for his bag and book from Binar.

“Kok nyeker Pam? Sendal lo where?” Tanya Ubay was astonished to Pamungkas who had just entered the cafe barefoot. The man did not seem to care even though some cafe customers saw him with a strange look.
“Gue alms the same people who need more.” Answer me casually.
“Halaah, I guess why. Lo later berdo’a, so I stay in. Lo do’a what the hell? Ask soul mate? Long time bener.” Seloroh Ubay chuckles.
“Yes if you've been given now anyway, gasssss...” Answer Pamungkas.
“Style lo..” Ubay Eject. “Lo's feet are ticklish, Pam?”
“Neg. Regular aja.”
“Lagian, already know just bring one flip, use the event loved to the people anyway.”
“Do not need a lot of bacots. Not been dipesenin yet?”
“Beres.” Ubay answered by making a sign with his thumb.
She stared at her bare feet under the table. His memory was again imagined with a round white face that contrasts with the maroon-red hijab in the mosque.
The confused face caught his attention. To the extent that he was willing to be the only sandal he was wearing he gave to the girl. For a moment, that face shook his heart.
He looked away when he heard two girls talking excitedly behind his back. He marked with a hijab worn by one of the girls. Then he examined his leg area. And sure enough, the girl was wearing the sandals of her gift earlier. Didn't expect that girl would also come to this cafe.
Twice meetings that were unintentionally close together.
There is a smile that expands at the corner of the lips. Looking at the light from a distance.
