Not Yet a tough woman

Today is a rainy day. My first holiday in the last one month, so i was able to wake up late, .. intentionally! I have to go to school and continue my thesis research today though. ;)
I took 11 am train, and arrived at school around 12. Today, my school has welcome festival for freshmen. I took my time to walk around and I stopped by in my circle booth. They are selling Nasi Goreng, and Chai. I taught them how to make Nasi Goreng last Monday. But, when I came, seems they had a lot problems, and still not sure about how much salt they have put, and etc. So I cooked Nasi Goreng once more time just to give them more confidence;). Hmm... many people queue up waiting for my nasi goreng ;)
I met my friend, and confirmed about editing room we book. She needs to edit the Ai No Nami video. We talked, and found out that she cant do it during the time I booked, so I have to go to Central security office and negotiated for the time changing. I had to wait for sometimes but finally they allowed me to change the time. I went back to my friend, and handed in the key.
The next place I go was library. I went there to take the books I ordered. Wow, i found the books are really really interesting. The time I finished my library business, it was already the Dhuhur time. Ahaa... time to pray. I decided to pray in library, thus I proceeded to the hidden place at the corner, and prepared to pray.
I put all my luggages on the floor, and about to start praying, when a mid-age woman came by, and said:
"Excuse me, you cant pray here!"
I heard many times that we cant pray in library before, but this is my first time caught by the librarian herself. And actually I do know that my university prohibits any religion activities anywhere in the campus, so I said:

"Sorry, so do u know where I can pray?"
She answered, "there is no place at this school u can pray"
"there is no single place in this school I can pray?"
"Yes. u cant pray here at campus, our school prohibits any religion activities... bla...bla...bla"
"I understand!" i closed the conversation and she says, "Please..!"

When she is about to leave, i asked again, "excuse me, can I pray here just for this time. One time only!"

"NO!" and she left.

I was not able to stand anymore, and started crying. I dont know why i start crying, i could not describe what I feel, but i am so sad. I felt so sad. it hurts me when she is saying that I cant pray. Why? Dont ask me, it is really sad to hear that.
No body was there. I was trying to be tough, and stopped crying, and went out from library.
I went to the next building, entered the toilet, and here it is, a small fitting room in the toilet. It is clean place, so I prayed there. Tell u the truth, many students pray there. Although some people say, "But it is in toilet" i think it is the most private place.
i closed the small fitting room door, and started crying again. Dont ask me why and dont say that i am a crybaby, huh although it is up to u, and i dont care if u say that.
After I succed to control myself, i started praying. Then after that, I took my time to think about what was happened. Yes, i just feel that I cant accept if they prohibits us to pray. why dont we talk about human rights? Dont we have a right to practice our religion? what this school is trying to do?? So i decided to go back to the library, and talked with them. No, not to ask for my right, coz I know that she is just doing her job, i just feel that i have to do something. I cant stay, and do nothing. I have to do something!!!!
I talked to the woman,
"I want to talk about what was happened. I feel that i need to talk to the person in charge."
"sorry...sorry if i was rude" she said
"No problem. I just want to discuss about the matter."
"Today is saturday, so there is no person in charge right now"
Then she wrote down my name and ID number, and she said someone will call me.

Yes, i am waiting for their call. And i promise myself that i will do "something that i can do". I will fight for it before i graduate from this school.

I promise...
