Opening Fasting in Solo
There was no sound of the voice of the adhan reverberating, a sign to break the fast today. Now, the family of Pak Agus and also the Pandu family gather together to enjoy breaking fast together. So does Indi who looks happy.
"Alhamdulillah, time to open, Yayah," said Indi.
Pak Agus and Bu Sri smiled because children as small as Indi could already feel the pleasure of fasting and breaking. Hopefully, this becomes a provision later Indi can gradually increase fasting time. Starting from dhuzur fasting, later it can be increased to Asar, and then full fasting. Because, indeed children can be taught and introduced to fasting gradually.
"Mbak Indi can lead us to pray the fast?" ask Mr. Agus to his grandson.
Now Indi seemed to blush in embarrassment and glanced at his father. As if he wanted to ask if he could lead the iftar prayer. Until Dad nodded his head.
"Can, yuk Mbak Didi .. after that we break our fast together," replied Pandu.
Indi cupped his hands together and prayed.
“Allahumma laka shumtu wabika amantu wa'ala rizqika afthortu birohmatika yaa arhamarrahimiin ... O Allah, because of You I fasted, and with You I believe, to You I surrender, and on Your sustenance I break my fast, with Your grace O God Almighty. Amin.”
"Amen."
Everyone also guaranteed the prayer that Indi said. Yayah Pandu after praying smiled and stroked the peak to Indi.
"Good, Ma'am Didi .. thank you well," he said.
"Yes, Yayah," Indi replied.
After that, Indi then began to drink the takjil that had been prepared and then Ervita took Indi to eat. In addition, Ervita also filled her husband's empty plate. Warm white rice, with Spinach Bobor Vegetable and also Fried Tempe. Very homely. However, everything feels special because of the arrival of children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren from Jogjakarta.
"Don't you like Mas Pandu?" ask Bu Sri.
The guide who was chewing his food then nodded his head. "Yes, it's delicious, Mom. Rarely, in Jogja with cuisine like this," he replied.
"He said yes, Mas .. This is the favorite cuisine of the kings in Java first. Vegetable bobor. So, we're eating a royal meal" he said.
"Yes? Just as Gudeg is the food of the soldiers, then also favored by the king. So, special food of the government deh," reply Pandu.
Yes, from its history there are many cuisines in Java that originated from royal dishes, the favorite of the kings. Until then adopted by the people and became a daily cuisine menu for the people in Jogja and Solo.
"Who lives in the kingdom is noble, huh, Dad?" ask Indi later.
"Yes, the king, his family, and some relatives. There is also a maid called abdi dalem. That noble is a family of blue blood, son. His family or relatives of the king. I see," explained Pandu.
"Oh, I see," Indi replied with a nod of her head.
"May and Tanto where are you?" tanyakanya.
"Oh, it's May to Sidoarjo. Just went to Tanto's house. On Monday, we will return to Solo" said Ms. Sri.
"Oh, so .. when you want to meet Arka," he replied.
Yes, actually Ervita wants to meet with his nephew Arka at once. Arka must be Irene's age, too. Both are only a few months apart. Unfortunately, Mei is playing to her in-laws' house in Sidoarjo.
"Arka is already Irene gini. Just fatter, can't keep his son quiet. I want to go up and down these stairs. The mother sometimes broke her heart, afraid that anything would happen" she replied.
"The new kid is active, ma'am. Want exploration. Especially guys, more active," replied Ervita.
Bu Sri nodded her head. "That's right. Moreover, Mother has never held a grandson boy. His two girls all. So, look at that Ark sometimes bobbing heads. This child can not be silent like this, but yes how else the name is also children well. Just activated," replied Bu Sri.
Indeed, many people say a lot of differences to take care of girls and boys. Boys are usually more active and like to explore the room. While girls can be softer and calmer.
"You're not getting any more kids, Vi? Mumpung is young. Irene also briefly released ASI," said Bu Sri now.
Ervita just smiles hearing it. Likewise with Pandu who lowered his head while smiling. However, actually Pandu also want to.
"Add another tow Mas Pandu. I know you got a boy. Later Mas Pandu become the most saucy loh at home," said Bu Sri again.
"Yes, Mas Pandu. Let's have a boy. Complete with two girls and one guy," said Mr. Agus added.
"Just pray, Mom. Hopefully we can add more. At least Irene to finish ASI first pity Ervita, Mom," replied Pandu.
It is clear that Pandu is not a selfish man. She prefers her daughter to get ASI until age 2 first. In addition, Ervita can also complete nutritional fulfillment for Irene.
"Yes, Mas Pandu. Just organized. Hopefully I can add again. Later if lebaran his grandson Mother and Father become a lot," said Mr. Agus.
Really did not think when breaking the fast precisely both parents Ervita said to add more grandchildren. But as a child, they thought it was okay. May Allah grant them descendants again.
"Later follow Mr. Tarawih to the mosque ya Mas Pandu," asked Mr. Agus.
"Significantly, may, Father," he replied.
There is a special custom when in Solo must be Pandu will be invited by his Father-in-law to the mosque. Of course Pandu wants. Because, at the same time worship and perform the Tarawih Prayer.
