AZZAMS
Shindy

After praying taraweh congregated, all returned to the Abi residence. Stella and Geya who happened to be in trouble, helped Naya and Azra who were also unable to perform prayers. A variety of dishes to eat are available in the middle room. Everyone immediately took their own positions.

Azzam looked at the dishes. For almost a year, his tongue was used to consume, tempeh, tofu, eggs and various other vegetables. Rarely can he enjoy chicken or meat. Rice that is usually eaten is also far from the word pollen. Azzam received a plate that had been taken rice by his brother.

“Zam.. he said that soldiers eat rice tuh rice so yes,” asked Firhan.

“Iya. If in us, raskin rice is so deh.”

“That's tojaiyah theory his name,” Zar chirps.

“Means?”

“Ya lo trained as TNI, it is required to maintain unity, fellow cadets must also help each other, which one, who is punished all. Why rice does not set a good example. The eating must be compact, while the rice is even napsi-napsi, very selfish. Fitting hand-drawn, scooped everywhere, hahaha..”.

“Somplak base, talking long times wide times high kaga no benefit,” Arya leds.

“Do not chat, let's eat.”

Hearing Kenzie's words, they immediately closed their mouths and began to concentrate with their respective food. As per custom, Azzam spent the food on his plate quickly. Not until five minutes, rice and side dishes have entered his stomach.

“Buset Zam.. cepet very lo eat, kaga chewed what?” ask Ervano.

“Eat don't hurry, Zam. Not good for your digestion,” said Nina.

“Udah habitual grandma. If training, we have to finish the food can not be more than three minutes. That's why it's customary.”

“Hah? Seriously? Three minutes? The kaga of a fit?” ask Zar.

“Crazy three minutes, I mah new five bribes times,” timpal Arya.

“Yes that's it. There it's orderly, fast-paced. Eating or bathing, time is limited. If it's wrong, everyone must be legally.”

Abi was stunned to see his grandson who had begun to get used to living in military style, even though there had not been a year Azzam was there. The man was proud and saluted to his grandson. Azzam has a strong determination to achieve his goals as TNi Air Force.

“Good KiJomu did not join the training with you. If he eats army-style food, his false teeth are all dislodged, hahaha.” exclaimed Abi.

“Good your commander is not Abi's grandfather. If the commander he, so wrong directly sent nemenin komodo,” reply Jojo.

“Hahaha..”.

“More bad if the commander opamu. There are quail cadets ordered to use sign language with him,” chirp Cakra.

“Why use sign language, eyang?” ask Arya.

“Opa you are stingy, so stingy, by the way he ngirit, hahaha.” replied Anfa.

“But if the commander, grandpa, would be happy. You see, grandpa is kind, friendly and does not make down bero. Surely grandpa will be a lot of fans there,” said Juna praised himself.

“Narsis..” Exclaim Abi, Jojo, and Cakra together.

“Older's also still no stock charm,” Kevin continued. But only replied by Juna with his laughter.

After the dinner, they did not go home immediately, but still gathered and talked. The elders chose to speak inside. Kenzie and the others were chatting on the terrace. As usual, they were talking about work. Their wives were in the kitchen, tidying up the utensils and leftovers. While the grandchildren gathered in the backyard, they continued the conversation while eating earlier.

The conversation still dominated the story of Azzam during his cadets. The young man recounted his experience during his military training in Magelang. Many things he told me, from the start of strict regulations, to the exhausting training period.

“So everyone wants to say you must first line. Abis why is also another line?” ask Ervano.

“Iya.”

“Abis boker line too, ngga?” chirp Zar.

“Abis boker yes cebok, not line,” replied Arya.

“Hahaha.”

“If the winnings are many?” ask Arsy.

“Ngga many. From AAU only 10 people. But good enough when combined.”

“Yang taruni same, if eating only three minutes time?” ask Dayana.

“Yes, same. Early we often get punished because the taruninya can not eat in three minutes.”

“Now can you?”

“There are not yet. But we're siasatin, sit it down, so we can help taruni ngabisin food.”

“Cakep,” chirps Zar.

Dayana imagined herself in the position of Azzam. For sure he will not be able to live with strict rules and high discipline. Moreover, their physique was also completely cornered. Just imagining it had made him raise the white flag.

“What's the heaviest workout, Zam?”

“So far I think the toughest and mentally testing, dopper.” training

“We creep in the mud pool while being treated the same coach.”

“Shoot it pack empty bullets, what is rubber bullet?”

“Sharp hunters lah.”

“Buset, the real one? If wrong target is berabe.”

“Every doppelganger shooter is not arbitrary. The shooter was from paskhas and highly trained personnel. They don't just have to have the ability to shoot, but they have to take psychiatric tests as well. Shooting is not easy, especially those who are shot by living creatures and cadets who are practicing. Mental load also for the shooter.”

“Oh so... horrified also yes. I am sure that if the Zar becomes a cadet, he will pee in the doppelganger training pants, hahaha.” exclaimed Arya.

“Woi shucks, still mending me peeing in pants, well elo boker in pants, hahaha.”

Laughter is back heard. Hearing Azzam's story about the doppelganger exercise was horrified. This exercise is very adrenaline testing. Creeping in the middle of a barrage of bullets like that, requires not only a strong mentality, but also high concentration.

“Besides dopper training, what else makes elo ketar-ketir?” ask Sam.

“Eat the commando rice, hahaha.”.

“What is commando rice?”

“Commando rice, vegetables, side dishes plus raw eggs. More often use duck eggs. Stirred continuously eaten.”

“HOEK..”.

Arsy, Dayana and Geya instantly get nauseous hearing Azzam's story about the commando rice. Just imagining the shape alone, has made their stomachs feel stirred. Azzam only chuckled at the reaction of the three girls. He used to feel the same way. But after feeling the command rice a few times, his tongue had already gotten used to it.

“Should be fitting to eat commando rice, you bring the pppsssttt,” Zar chirps.

“What's new?”

“Let someone help you eat rice. The pppsssttt is whatever is equal to him, hahaha.”

Two punches landed on Zar's arm, the culprit was definitely Stella. It was a reward for what the man did. First, Zar had been willing to change his call to pppsssttt. Second, the man had already slandered him by saying he was the originator of the food gabres. Although she was fed, but the girl would rethink if she had to eat commando rice.

“Zam. Pas elo training dopper, lo kudu, must bring brother lo. Tuh mouth repot it can make bullets minder, hahahaha.” reply Stella.

“Buset mouth si Zar really lemes if sampe can make bullets minder,” continued Arya.

“Si Zar if the list of cadets, will be immediately repatriated by the commander. Fouling the image of the army. Where is there an army whose mouth is exactly rich in firecrackers, hahaha.”

“Pas mouth exercises must be recorded first,” continued Ervano.

“The rubber is five, let it go,” continued Arsy.

“Hahaha.”

“Basic kamvret,” ruk Zar.

No doubt Azzam also laughs at the words of his cousins. This is what he misses when he is away from his extended family.

The sound of takbir echoed from last night, indicating it was time for Muslims to celebrate victory after a full month of fasting withstanding thirst, hunger and lust. Now is the time to celebrate the victory day. Since dawn, people have been preparing to follow the ied prayer in the mosque. Kenzie and his family are no exception. A lot of activity was seen at the man's residence.

Kenzie, Zar and Azzam are ready in the centre. They look handsome wearing cocoa clothes, sarongs and also kopeah. The three are still waiting for Nara and Arsy who are still preparing. Shortly thereafter, the two women showed up. Dressed in white and mukena caftans and prayer mats in his hands, they prepared for the mosque.

Only Kevin has come in lately. For three years now Kevin's house has always been used as a gathering place for his nephews, because all his brothers have returned to Rahmatullah. After the ied prayer, his nephews always come to do the tradition of sungkeman and eat together. Freya and Alisha are always preparing dishes for the open house. After the dzuhur, then they went to the residence of Juna.

This time there was no change. All the families of Wisdom gathered at the residence of Juna. First of all, the elders who are forgiving, then they sit in rows, their children and grandchildren prepare to do chanting and forgiving each other. After the sungkeman event, continued by enjoying the dishes that are already available while chatting.

“Grandpa, where's the angpaw?” ask Zar.

“Let's wait for your ops first, let's go.”

“Asik.”

Although their grandchildren are never short of money, the tradition of giving angpaw is still enforced in this family. They are happy to get a sticky greeting, whatever the amount.
