Today is Thursday, madam and her husband are off work (they work from saturday to wednesday yes) they take me to the shopping center, what else if not shopping. All kinds of home needs and also fancy dresses and mini deliberately bought madam for party purposes.
Madam and husband are very wasteful for shopping. Whatever they see, it's all driven. No exception to the needs of his son and also my needs, all madam bought. He said let me work and do nothing. Hm!.
In addition, because there will be a big feast of madam relatives tomorrow.
Yes, the marriage of her husband's sister, Sumayyah. Sumayyah would marry Ammar, still a relative of Adeeba's mother. Indeed, the custom of the Arabs was married to relatives or close relatives in a matchmaking way. And for matters of funds, it will usually be borne by the woman. Why the lady? I don't know, maybe it's a custom or it's a tradition. That it was the Arab women who bought or provided special funds for the preparation of the wedding (once again this is what Noah knew, it may have been in a different place). And usually after marriage, they live separately, sometimes there are living in apartments or in houses that are quite large. (In Arabia there are rarely small houses like in the country).
The party itself will be held in two different buildings. One building is for women and another for men.
And tomorrow comes
Since the dhuhur madam Adeeba, her husband and Abdul Ro'uf have been well-groomed in their oversized clothes. Me and Oomar are not left behind. New clothes and all equipment are ready, no less than two suitcases for the clothes they will wear there.
At the event, we split up. Madam, I and Oomar headed for building A to gather with the women and the bride, while her husband and Abdul Ro'uf headed to building B where there were relatives and brides.
The place is different, even a little far away. It is the custom of the Arabs. Even when the kabul ijab was done in a different room as well.women just wait for the process alone, without face to face with the men. After the end of my life, the bride and the man were reunited for a while. After that the congratulations of all brothers (women and men remain unmixed and meet) aka separate. Women only say to the bride and the other way around.
After the deal is done. Their habit is to party.
From noon till midnight party and keep on non-stop party. Women who used to wear abayas will be removed. Replace with a party dress that is mini and glamorous. For us workers also special dishes and rooms have been prepared. Various foods and dishes lined up abundantly in every corner of the room. There are even rooms available for the employer's child if they are sleepy.
Dancing, singing and even discoing become an exciting and exciting spectacle. Hula-hula dance even zumba can be found here. Festive, lively, crowded and certainly very noisy. No exception to my master, Adeeba, like a queen of feasts. He bends here like a possessed man. There was no shame or hesitation, everyone in this large room was free to express themselves.
After midnight, the party is in order. Madam decided to go back home. Her husband and Abdul Ro'uf were waiting in the parking lot.
When ramadhan month arrives. Teachers in Arabia have a month-long teaching holiday. There is no teaching-teaching activities let alone repetition like in the country. Pull them just stay at home.
The activities of the holy month are somewhat different from those of the ordinary months.
For sleeping business so shifted time. A worker like me would stay up all night and fall asleep during the day. Madam and husband.
Usually when dhuhur arrives. I just woke up. Directly to ashar. After the ashar prayer is continued by preparing various foods until the Maghrib.
After breaking and praying Maghrib, activities continued with tarawih in the nearest mosque. Everyone should come. No exception little Oomar was brought along.
Tarawih prayers are a bit long here. It could reach half past ten in the evening. After finishing up and going home. The activity continued by providing dinner. Food is back made. Midnight madam, her husband and sister instead of sleeping, even chattering while eating again,
(in his brain just eat and eat constantly yes)
Even the unimportant things are discussed. While enjoying the food and of course the typical arabic coffee and tea should not be missed. And I continued with some dirty dishes while talking about Oomar.
In the early hours it is time to prepare the meal of sahur. Various foods have been served. For the business of sahur, usually eat together with workers.
After the morning prayers, everyone goes to their room. Rest. So continue every day until two weeks before the holiday.
Well during mid-fasting, usually madam and all residents of the house will shop, almost every day out of the house. This-it's all bought. (the basis of the Madam is very wasteful). Even to work at home, I am not allowed. Let the house fall apart wherever they go. For the business of eating, usually will order or buy from outside.
Cuss madam, shopping again!
