365 Days Towards Halal
93# Appetizing food



Greetings, echoed throughout the corner of Jama Masjid. The sound of the Imam praying that is heard by the shahdu makes the congregation more solemn in following every rakaat that the Imam leads.


The Queen prays after the last greeting and praises Allah after her prayer. Likewise with Raka, who did not immediately move from her shaf. The man closed his eyes in thanksgiving and praise to God the Creator.


After that, they both prayed. Without them knowing it, the prayer they offered was the same. They both ask for HIS instructions, if the person who is close to them is their soul mate. They both ask the creator's generosity to confirm their hearts, if indeed they have the same purpose. The prayer that they offered from the heart was full of hope. At the same time and place, the prayer becomes one even though it comes from two hearts.


After praying, the Queen moved from her seat. He looked towards the male shaf, seen Raka who was still sitting and praying there. Therefore, Queen decided to walk to enjoy the mosque building.


Queen walked towards the tower, some tourists who also just finished praying congregation also walked towards the tower. Some of them try to capture the moment when they are in this very beautiful Mosque.


The Queen turned and walked down the stairs, leading to the top of the tower. Where the tower has a height of 41 meters and consists of 130 steps, decorated by black marble and bricks. Queen was fascinated by the beauty of every corner she encountered.


With a breath of breath, Queen finally reached the top of the tower and looked out of the tower. Queen's eyes were fixed on the east side of the mosque. Right at the east door, the traders of chicken and bird livestock began to hold a bazaar that will take place from evening to night.


While around the stairs of the mosque, the traders have begun to reopen their merchandise, after the Dzuhur prayer ended.


Street performers also began to entertain pedestrians and tourists. Just for the sake of a few Rupees given by pedestrians, as well as tourists.


Some of the women spoke in their native language. They stood right beside the Queen and looked very amazed by the architecture of the building. Queen who was satisfied with taking some pictures from the top of the tower was intent on leaving the room. He started down the stairs and wanted to find Raka.


Once he was on the ground floor of the mosque, Queen did not see Raka. He also started to panic. Not for fear of getting lost, Queen is afraid Raka is looking for him here and there, because she did not tell Raka if she stopped by the tower of the mosque.


Queen ran out of the mosque and put on her sandals which she put on the caretaker of the mosque. Then Queen ran out. As wide as his eyes looked, he did not see Raka. Queen decided to walk down the vast courtyard.


In the crowd of the mosque's courtyard, there was some faint language in Queen's ears. As well as the various forms of people who flooded the courtyard, making Queen must be extra careful in finding Raka.


After a few minutes of searching, Queen decided to rest near the eastern gate of the Mosque. The sweat flooded the Queen's forehead. He sat tired on a stone set by the gate.


Suddenly, his forehead was wiped by someone, with a tissue. The queen looked over and looked at the man.


"Rakaaaa... Where have you been?" Queen asked with an anxious face.


"I'm looking for you too. Lucky we met here. Want a cold drink?" Tanya Raka while giving Queen a bottled drink that is still dewy because of the cold.


Queen sighed and grabbed the drink from Raka's hand.


"That makes me worry!" Queen Say.


Raka smiled and sat down next to Queen.


"I'm more worried, it's just that I'm trying to calm down. We enter from this gate, surely you will come out of this gate. So, after tired of searching, I decided to wait for you here."


Queen looked at both of Raka's eyes. It is indisputable that the man was smart enough to deal with a situation that caused panic for some people, including Queen.


"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you that I went up that tower" Queen pointed to the tower she had stopped by.


"Oh, that's okay." Sahut Raka while sipping a bottled drink in his hands. After that, he glanced back at Queen and smiled.


"Capek huh?"


"No,"


"Want lunch?"


"May," Sahut Queen smiled sweetly at Raka.


"Yes come on.., around here there are street vendors." Said Raka while holding the hands of Queen.


"Hmmm Jack.."


"Yes?"


Queen looked at Raka's hand holding her hand.


"Ah yes, sorry... Hmmm but, here sometimes there are kidnappings of tourists. Then they..."


"Let's go" Queen said, shivering in horror and clasping Raka's hand tightly.


The number of news about tourists who are kidnapped, makes some tourists who visit must really take care of themselves. What's more, tourists who are alone or just alone without a tour group.


Actually, not only in this country, in all countries, if we can not really take care of ourselves, it will be an easy target for people who intend evil.


Queen and Raka go through the crowds of street vendors. There are sellers of accessories, food, prayer beads and prayer needs, beverage merchants and so forth, which is enough to spoil the eyes of tourists.


"Raka is really proven in maturity, calmness, patience, intelligence and how to deal with problems. Raka is also very well established in financial terms, although he still works in hotels. He was also handsome and began to worship well. Is this enough to accept it? Is this the answer God gave me?" Queen Mumbles.


Raka stopped her steps in front of the street vendor selling food.


"You want this?" Ask Raka.


Queen observed the food arranged there. The food looks very appetizing. Then, he nodded quickly.


"You," Queen Sahut.


"OK," Raka also ordered two servings of snacks served by the merchant.


After that, the trader made an order for Raka. While waiting for the merchant to make their order, Queen and Raka sat on the plastic chair provided by the merchant.


They looked towards the crowd. The little boy was running here and there with an inflatable balloon in his hand. Raka smiled looking at the boys.


"I miss Jonathan" he said, staring at the boys.


Queen looked at Raka with a concerned face.


"Me too" Queen said.


Raka turned her head and smiled faintly at Queen.


"May God give Jonathan the most beautiful place on his side." Said Queen again.


"Aamiin," Sahut Raka smiled sweetly at Queen.


Queen returned Raka's smile, then, suddenly her eyes were focused on the street vendor who was making food for her.


"Raka..." His words while patting Raka's shoulder.


"Yes..?"


"See..!" The queen pointed at the sword.


The sword opened his sweaty clothes and scratched his armpits several times. Then, he scooped the chives he had chopped from the can of the former biscuit, with the former merchant's hand scratching his armpits. Then, he put the chives into the dough belonging to Queen and Raka.


Raka raised both of her eyebrows, her mouth agape wide. Same with Queen.


"Oh. shitttt...!" Gumam Raka's.


Not only there, the merchant also immersed his hands and washed his hands into the sauce that he would flush into the snacks of their order. Queen and Raka looked back at each other.


"Whatt?" Queen said in disbelief.


After the trader finished making their order, the trader gave their order to Raka. The snacks served on the styrofoam were only viewed by Queen and Raka.


"Thirty Rupees." Said the merchant, for their two orders.


With hesitation, Raka took out her money as much as 30 Rupees and gave it to the merchant.


"Thank you!" Said the merchant while smiling.


Raka received the two packs of styrofoam and looked at Queen closely. Then, slowly they left the merchant's stall.


Without a word, after they moved away from the merchant, each of them began to express themselves as if they were going to vomit.


"Hoekk!" Started by Raka and followed by Queen. Then, they both ran in different directions and spilled their entrails among the bushes growing by the side of the road.


"Haizzz...!" Raka said as she rubbed her lips. Then, he rushed over to the Queen who was sitting limp after he vomited his entrails.


"Oh Allah..!" Queen complains and will vomit again.


Raka also tried massaging the nape of Queen who regurgitated her stomach contents.


A few pairs of eyes were staring at them with confused faces. Raka tried to smile and rub her stomach while talking to people who were passing by and looking at them.


"My wife is pregnant.." Say it many times to the passersby who keep staring at them, while smiling clumsily.
