"I'm studying here, I think you are too"
Hearing the answer from Zeedan who is the same as me is not a native of the Bravisla but only studies here. I also asked about my experience the other day, did Zeedan experience the same thing or not.
"Have you ever experienced anything strange here?"
"yes I have, they laughed when they saw me when I was walking around exploring this area"
It suddenly surprised me because his experienced something similar to me. However, it seems that Zeedan's experience is worse than mine, which is only seen as strange without being laughed at.
"Have you ever asked your college friends why they laugh at you?"
"I've asked my friends, Isabelle and Joshua. He said that the reason for laughing was from what I was wearing on my head.”
When I heard Zeedan's answer, I turned to his friends named Isabelle and Joshua. They have names that are not like the majority of Islam. We also exchanged phone numbers and social media, which is possible to invite each other to play another day.
We made an appointment four days after we exchanged phone numbers. We promised to meet each other in the town square area. We also talked each other starting from the registration of the test until passing the test. Zeedan said that he graduates from the best islamic boarding school from his hometown and wanted to study abroad. Zeedan also has a friend who helps him when he goes to islamic boarding school and even graduates. I was very surprised to hear that, because Zeedan and I have very similar issues. We continued talking until it was time to go home because we were getting tired.
Arriving at the apartment, I remembered Zeedan's hometown, Famsqi. I also searched on the internet, it turns out that it is an area that is predominantly Muslim.
On study day, I also went to keep wearing a prayer cap. They looked at me strangely. I still walk with ease. Once while walking to class, I heard the words of a student “Why does he always use that thing in his head? Very strange isn't it” said with little laughing with his friend. I heard it faintly and not so clearly still on my way to class. After all the classes that day were over, I headed to the apartment to go home. On the way home, they kept looking at me strangely. "During the class, none of my friends in my class saw me like a strange person, why did they see me outside the class like a strange person?" I said to myself
