Sorry can update again because of something 🙏. Previously related to today on March 22, 2023 and tomorrow on March 23, 2023 is the first day of Muslims to observe fasting in the month of Ramadan, with all humility, with all humility, I apologize profusely if in the story of this novel there are names or figures that may be similar or even the same because the names and characters are pure from my imagination. Then for a few sentences that might not fit the meaning, I apologize for all my shortcomings because I was a novice writer, who initially only wanted to write short stories, he said, but because of a mistake it turns out I even went into the novel story, so yes this is how 😅 started from a little idea but now with a title consisting of two words should be able to become a novel with many chapters or episodes.
Hopefully the continuation of some episodes later is not boring and can continue to make the readers guess, at least from your guess can actually help me in developing the contents of the novel "Kata Sandi".
And the last thing I say is congratulations on fasting in the month of Ramadan, a blessed month, he said, may we all be able to carry out fasting with excellent health so that we can get the blessing of Ramadan 🤲 aamiin allahuma aamiin.

After bathing and berwudlu, I spit sunnah 2 rakaat prayer. Although still in grade 5, I can already memorize the intention and prayer readings, and understand the prayer time.
You taught and taught me about prayer when I was in 1st grade. I remember that time less than a few months before I turned 7. You always patiently invite and teach the prayer procedure, how to bathe and berwudlu, even when I was sick also remain patient father also taught me how to pray by sitting or lying down. I always say "Sholat is the pillar of religion, never leave any prayer is your reason with various conditions or circumstances. Like you never forget when you have to breathe and expel air (breathe)." that's the message of the father every time even when I used to often look for reasons not to pray because lazy.
I was so bad I used to be a father and mother often scares with threats to hit me, "Irwaaaann.. let's pray first, Yen ra gelem father geblik (butt) lo"
Not to mention if the mother who said "Paaaak, ki loo son e nyuwun in geblek, ra gelem adus"
Finally the same word and often said repeatedly be a favorite nickname, strange also somehow I was never embarrassed to be called a geblek.
"Haaahhh??? Sunaaaattt?" I said loudly while reflexively holding anu, obviously I was surprised, although still not even 7 years I also know what circumcision is. Afraid? Yes definitely takuuuttt, let alone must be sick, trus if you know how?
Father and mother tried to persuade me and explain how important and mandatory for a man to circumcise, especially my age will be even 7 years, puberty for men.
Many explanations from the father, as well as the lure of the mother, later if I want to be circumcised later will be bought this and so forth, not to mention later can be a lot of sangu from mbahTi and mbahKung, etc, a lot of families come here.
Finally, a deal to be circumcised was obtained. And it's true that's the way it is, what the mother-important began to get me.
Early in the morning my mother had cooked opor chicken and lodho chicken and lontongnya. It still smells today, because it's the dish I like the most.
What is the difference between opor and lodho? I don't know, all I know is that opor is not spicy but that lodho is spicy. I like everything 😋.
After running the morning and breakfast routine, I went with my mother and father to the balaidesa, which was already crowded with people, I also saw many children my age present there with anxious faces.
Because I had breakfast and remembered the gift I would get after circumcision, I also did not really think about what circumcision was like, until when it was my turn, my name was heard called "Irwan Gunturan"
My hands began to sweat. deg deg deg deg. it felt like my feet were limp and ...
