Not Just a Taste

Fasting?

...~Happy Reading~...

"Thanks ya Fa, already want to take me around," said Eleena when satisfied to go around the cottage with the Caliph, the youngest son of Umma Chila and Abi Mike.

The little girl had just come home from school. And just a short break, already told to take Eleena around.

"Same Sister, after all the Caliph is also happy," replied the white-hooded girl with a long, light brown robe while smiling shade.

Maira's face is very similar to that of Abi Mike, while Khalifa is very similar to Umma Chila.

In fact, from the way of speaking also the way of smiling Khalifa is really very similar to his Umma. So gentle, polite and graceful.

Very different from Maira, although the girl is also hooded, but her nature is very different from her Umma.

Therefore, since graduating from school, Maira decided to move to Jogja and study there, in order to be free from the atmosphere of the cottage.

"Khal, when will Maira's brother come home?" eleena asked again to open her voice.

Now, the two girls are sitting together in a garden under a thickly flowering Angsana tree.

"Maybe a few days home, brother. Because we will soon be approaching the holy month of Ramadan, so Brother Maira will come home here," replied the Caliph again smiling gently, "Sister Yusuf must also go home."

"Usually, brother Joseph will teach during the fasting month" added Khalifa who seemed to be impatient to meet his two brothers.

Joseph? Eleena instantly fell silent and tried to digest the name. He felt so stupid for forgetting that name.

All he remembered, the son of uma Chila was only Maira and Khalifa, until he forgot his eldest son, Yusuf.

"Where is he now?" eleena asked a little doubtfully.

"Ohhh!" Eleena just nodded her head while ber oh ria.

He felt lucky because some days he would not meet the man. However, he also felt that there was something strange, just when he heard his name.

"Sister, it's afternoon. Soon Maghrib, Khalifa permission to enter first yes, want to help Umma," said Khalifa was about to leave but was immediately detained by Eleena.

"Help what?"

"To break the fast," replied Khalifa smiling.

"But you say there are still a few days of fasting, why is it fasting now?" eleena asked with a look of her confused face.

Khalifa who saw the puzzled face of Eleena could only smile, "Fasting Sha'ban Kak. Fasting Sunnah really, not mandatory, but it would be better if done," he replied.

"Why do you and your family fast too often. Since long ago, I have often seen Umma and Abi fasting" said Eleena when she recalled the old days.

Where, he is often invited to break his fast, even though he is not fasting.

When he was little, his parents were gone. He always ate alone at the dining table, therefore, he always played with Maira until finally he was often invited to dinner together.

For Eleena it was a banal dinner, but Umma Chila said that it was iftar.

To be honest, at the age of Eleena who almost entered twenty years, not even though he did fasting. Never mind Sunnah, nor should he always be absent from his obligations.
