One day I went to Bandung with my friend for a vacation. We went there on night
bus. When we arrived in Cianjur, the bus stopped for a rest. I got off the bus to get a
cup of coffee but my friend didn't. I also went to a mosque to pray. It took only a few
minutes to pray, but when I came out again the bus was not there. It had gone!
Shocked and confused I asked the shopkeeper about the bus. She said that the bus had
departed about five minutes ago.
I tried to call my friend on my cell phone but the battery was running low. I
couldn't do anything but hope and pray. After several minutes, my wish came true.
The bus came back. I got on the bus and walked to my seat.
I was so ashamed when everybody on the bus looked at me. I could feel my face turn
red.
I asked my friend why she didn't tell the driver that I was still outside.
"I did, I told him several times that you were outside, but he said that you were in
the bus toilet because he saw a man going into the toilet," my friend replied, laughing.
The other passengers smiled at me. I was so
embarrassed.

other science books and she read them in the garden, while being accompanied by her
servant. Finally, reading became her hobby and she did not go a day without reading.
