"Why didn't you tell me everything from before, Dam?" I asked, still with the heart raging.
"I'm sorry. I can say it now" replied Adam.
"You can get up. I'm certain. Do not let us not be grateful for His favor by continuing like this. Laa yukallifullaahu nafsan willaa. God will not burden a person, but according to his ability," I said ending the conversation because the bell had rung.

The next day at empty time, my classes were as crowded as ever. Me, Meli and Adam looked at each other to carry out our plans that we had laid out yesterday after school.
.
*Bukkk!!
A successful tome landed on my desk and all the students were silent. I was the one who threw the book. Yeah, they always took me as Class Leader and Chairman of Osis.
I took a long breath. I slowly stepped my foot to lock the classroom door so that no other class could hear me. Do not forget to close the window curtains so that no one peeks. Light the lights. All were still silent in his seat, and perhaps they were wondering.
I stood in front of the class, I looked at all their faces and no one dared to look at me. I said my greetings and they answered.
.
"I beg you very much, bow your heads and close your eyes. Feel what I'm about to say and no one cuts me off before I'm done" I said, opening our plan. Everybody obeys me.
"Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiimbali. Laa haula walaa quwwata illaa billaah," my prayer lirih.
.
"Before, I apologized to those whose parents no longer existed. You imagine your father slamming a bone. The sweat is pouring down for you. Rela worked hard. Sometimes, pretend not to be tired in front of you after school, so you don't worry about it. And.. Imagine also your mother who used to be pregnant with you with great difficulty. Give birth to you with a bet between life and death. Raised you all up to what you are today. But.. What's your reply? You have never tried to boast of ortu with achievement. Always cheating me & Meli. Always bad grades in every repetition and up the class with the teacher's chat value. Don't you guys feel like bad boys?"
.
I shut up for a moment, then continued.
.
My eyes were on Adam, a sign that Adam had to come forward, according to our plan yesterday. Adam stood beside me.
.
"You know that all this time you have killed Adam's greatest hope with your insults? Do you know, his father's dead and his mother's a scavenger? Imagine if you were in Adam's position! The shadow!!! Compare you to Adam! Adam always wanted to boast of his mother by proving his achievements. Adam never cheated on me and Meli. He always tries to solve it himself. But, his hands are stiff working on the matter because his hope has been killed by your insults all along! He's actually smart & a martial arts whiz. He's not quiet. But, all his hopes are dashed because of you guys! Howareyou?? Are you not afraid of sin? Where is your compassion? It is no longer a bully-bully like this. We must rise. What would be the moral of our nation if it still distinguished castes? What do you want to be a young Muslim? Where are the defenders of Islam? I want to bully you so that after this, there's no one to bully Adam. It's our secret. And no one opens secrets to another class! Later, there's a time alone I want to silence the mouth of this one school that always insulted Adam. And lastly, most importantly. I'm not defending Adam. But more than that, I defend my fellow Muslims. Help Adam rise from this. Fear you from the torment of hell, for one of the characteristics of the inhabitants of hell is pride. Including arrogant because of the treasure, which is only the result of asking parents. Done it. Please be willing to refute," I said with tears in my eyes.
.
No one's arguing with me. May this be a sign that Allah sends down His guidance to them.
.
MaasyaaAllaah, they have shed tears. All the male friends came up to Adam and hugged him. Apologizing, regretting their mistakes all along.
I was helpless again, leaning against the front wall of the classroom. And slumped, I sat on the floor. My class friends came up to me and hugged me. They thank me for waking up the wrong souls all this time.
.
And Meli has been recording all of this on her HP, from start to finish.
.
***
Alhamdulillaah says. Since that day, everything has changed. Our relationship with Adam is harmonious. We have become a family.
