Love of Village Girl
Presumably
Today is the second day of fasting this year, I'im began his fast without his sister Tari because he could not go to the cottage yesterday, only later in the afternoon will come. In the month of fasting the schedule of teaching activities is very full, starting from after the morning prayer to teach the Qur'an with mbah nyai, after that at 8 pm general teaching the book of fikih for those who do not attend school. Then after the dzuhur taught together with the santri kang in the mosque after that just rest and prepare cooking and eating to break the fast, even the ashar bakda still teach to wait for the breaking time.
So for I'im who used to fast in the village that all schedules seemed to follow fasting felt a bit shocked, but even with a busy schedule, this fasting is really different from usual.
If in the village, even though the condition is in the mountains but for the problem of fasting and breaking is extraordinary, maybe because there are still many people who are lay or whatever, because of what, for the people in the village where I'im lived in fasting it was amazing, so working only up to half a day in the garden, after the dzuhur is the time to rest, he said, likewise with the schools that are there, if the fasting month is not full so it has not entered the dzuhur time alone has gone home.
Likewise, the problem of breaking the fast there the mothers as if the afternoon is the time to cook and sometimes all the menu can be prepared only for one break, sometimes there is kolak, fried bakwan, and sometimes all the menu can be prepared only for one break, plus vegetables and side dishes not to mention fruits that he said for refreshment, and almost all families like that as well as his family I'im there.
So the meaning of fasting that should be held back must be avenged when breaking the fast, especially before Lebaran is really extraordinary there, delivering food to break the fast, especially before breaking the fast, together - the same makes a variety of cakes and snacks Eid, may look like wasteful but that's the habit of the village that is still attached.
While in the cottage now, I'im just really feel the meaning of the actual fasting, using the best time because the merit of his kindness will be doubled during the month of Ramadan, he said, although not used to it he always tried, because he did not want to disappoint both parents and family. Like this morning when before sahur things that he had never experienced before, was awakened to eat sahur only given 30 minutes before entering the time of imsak and adhan dawn reverberate, he said, it should be enough for the time to prepare the meal sahur until finished, without being able to choose the menu because the menu sahur is a special gift from the babysitter cottage as sodaqoh.
Opening was not much different, only when breaking can choose its own menu to cook it without many things that can be cooked of course because the time available after teaching was not much, not much, what a makeshift when fasting in the boarding house, pesantren, because the purpose of fasting is one of them so that we can feel the things felt by our poor and poor brothers who sometimes have to endure hunger and thirst, every day, that is the advice of Pak kyai and bu nyai to encourage the students when fasting in the boarding school.
" mbak im, it's called the same bu nyai" the voice of mbak umi woke I'im from his long daydream about fasting in the village.
" yes, what's wrong, ma'am? kok until bu nyai call me" instead of coming immediately I'im instead ask umi.
" there may be someone who wants to ask mbak, let's not be long" replied mbak umi
(what is it, whether I have done something wrong, or want to ask about the payment, duuh mbak Tari kok ya no dateng - dateng) I'im mind asked - asked, asked, he was afraid of what - what.
"waalaikumsalam, here mbak"
answer ma nyai.
"don't be afraid, this mother wants to ask, mbak im right if the morning of school until noon, so go home to school still have to pay and cook, is not tired mbak? how about if the meal mbak im it comes catering aja, so not tired of cooking. if catering to the mother costs later mommy love to mbak Umi so I can see, how?" obviously ms. nyai.
" nogeh ma'am, I will ask the same first mbak Tari, insyaAllah mbak come later in the afternoon" replied I'im, he could not decide, he could not decide, because things that smell of cost and finances must all be taken first with his brother.
"owh mbak you want to come, good, he's a chequey person when you think, dak paket lama" said bu nyai while smiling a lot of meaning.
" no ma'am" I'im replied
"yes wes, later if your mother has come, tell me to come here, same you too, now go back to the dormitory" ordered nyai's mother.
" no, Assalamualaikum"pamit I'im as he passed away.
