Arriving at the hall, the santri had already gathered there to witness the engagement.
Santri banin and banat are separated by a veil. Both families had gathered on stage to hold a ring exchange event.
Salimah wears a niqob because the show was not only witnessed by santri banat but santri banin also gathered there.
The sound of applause was boisterous when Salimah pinned the ring on Alkan's ring finger, now Alkan's turn to pin the ring on Salimah's ring finger. The man was stuck holding tight because he had to be engaged to someone he did not love. However, he continued the engagement so as not to embarrass his parents.
Alkan took the ring and prepared to pin it on Salimah's ring finger. The ring accidentally fell.
Everyone panicked to look for her, but it turned out that the ring had fallen off and was spinning to a stop right at Kia's feet. The girl took the ring with a raging feeling, she delivered the ring to its owner.
Kia swung her footsteps slowly, ignoring the person who was busy looking for the ring.
In the middle of the crowd santri banat, Alkan could see Kia who stepped closer to the stage. The man's heart was racing faster, Alkan looked at Kia with eyes without blinking, he tried to neutralize his heart that seemed to be about to explode. However, his efforts were in vain, even the heart of the man was even more racing quickly making the man difficult to breathe.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Kia who had arrived in front of the stage. Kyai Syarif and all two members of the family were no exception. Arofah approached Kia, then the girl smiled seeing Kia standing in front of the stage.
"Is there anything you want to say?" ask Arofah whispering. The girl wondered what her best friend was approaching the stage for.
Kia shook her head, then opened her hand and handed over the contents of the hand.
Deg.
Alkan was surprised when he found the ring that had fallen was found by his loved ones. Alkan looked at Kia grimly. However, the man was good at hiding his feelings until everyone did not suspect him.
However, in contrast to Kyai Sharif, he could see his son who harbored grief after the arrival of Zaskia. He saw clearly Alkan's eyes that did not stop glaring at Kia. The Kyai felt guilty for forcing his will to betroth his son to his cousin.
As for Arofah, she took the ring and thanked him with a wry smile. He could not bear to see Zaskia and Alkan who were separated due to differences in status.
Kia smilingly looked at Alkan, Arofah and the entire two families, he said his greetings, then turned around after giving the ring to Arofah. While his eyes condense, but he immediately rubbed his pupils so that no one suspected him.
"I'm not married yet, but why does it feel like this sick? How's she feeling now? Does he feel the same way as me or even more?" Alkan sat down while staring at Kia's back which was moving away from him.
While Anggi who witnessed it, immediately chased after Kia. However, his efforts were slow because Kia had already locked the room.
"Tok... tok..."
"Kia, open Ki, don't be like this! Please open the door" said Anggi.
"Please.. Leave me alone! Just sec. I just want to calm myself, Nggi." Kia was crying behind the door while sitting down.
"All right, but you have to promise! After santri banat comes home you should have calmed down, okay! I'll go back to the hall first!" anggi.
"Yes, I promise!" answer Kia. The girl held onto her chest that felt squeezed. While Anggi left the dormitory to the boarding hall.
"Your love for her is so great Ki, I once thought that I wouldn't take it off for you. However, after this incident I only realized that your love is greater than the love I have, "Aggi is inward.
The girl returned to the hall with an erratic feeling, she was sad that Alkan was engaged to Salimah. However, he was even more sad when he saw his best friend who was devastated by heartbreak.
After feeling the atmosphere was quite quiet, the girl walked out of the dormitory looking for night air. He cried not strong enough to withstand the heartache he experienced.
Kia continued to walk around the pesantren park, the girl did not realize that she had crossed the park boundary, and was in the santri banin park area.
"Ehem..."
Kia jumped when she heard someone thumping from behind her back. He looked at the area around him that felt foreign to him.
"I where?" Kia muttering.
"You're in the santri banin area." The sound of baritone from behind makes Kia's heart seem to stop beating, he is very familiar with the sound.
