The Story of the Children of the Juragan
140. Lunch together
Shortly after, Leon and Fatim's orders came. Chicken seasoning rujak, pecak gurame, dragon fruit juice and water. It's been stuck at the table.
The fragrant aroma of spices pokes the nose and evokes appetite.
After washing his hands, Fatim started to bribe the rice into his mouth. Leon looked strangely at the girl sitting in front of him. Eating with hands.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Fatim stopped his mouthful, and looked at Leon. He felt uncomfortable in the eyes of men.
"Why do you eat with your hands? A slob?" chirp Leon while shuddering.
"Eating with your hands is delicious. When I was at Somad's grandfather's house, I would often eat this way. If the food has sauce, then I eat using a spoon.
The Hadith RH. The Muslim, the Prophet Shallallahu Alaihi Wassalam ate with the three fingers of his right hand and licked them before cleaning.
Turns out, Sunah Rasul is a way of eating right to measure the portion of a person's meal. Meanwhile, licking your fingers after eating has many benefits and benefits for health.
In a study in the medical world said, the benefits of eating using cleaned hands are considered much healthier than using a spoon.
Because our hands contain the enzyme RNase produced by three fingers, namely the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, which serves to suppress the activity of pathogenic bacteria in the body.
Eating by hand can also slow down the process of eating so as to prevent type two diabetes.
In addition, limiting intake of incoming food, which certainly can prevent obesity aka obesity. God has given grace to every man a sophisticated dinnerware, that is, our own hands.
So we better eat with our hands. Right hand of course, yes. Make sure your hands are washed first.
Because if we eat with our left hand, it's the same way the devil eats.
Don't forget to say bismillah before eating, so that the devil does not eat or enter with the food or drink we eat."
Leon was stunned to hear Fatim's lengthy explanation. Until his mouth opened wide. Makes Fatim chuckle.
"Hi! Do you want to eat or do you want to go to church? Why just shut up? Be careful tuh mouth later can enter the flies you know." Fatim's cheerful laughter echoed in Leon's ears, so that awakened him from the feeling of awe and amazement earlier.
Leon rubbed his face, because he felt wrong before Fatim.
"Thank you for the explanation. You are a very smart young doctor." Leon held out both thumbs.
"Thank you back. I am still learning too. There is still a lot of science that I do not know. Wulan was lucky and had a good life. Because having a husband like Salman's brother is very smart.
Because being a household leader is much more difficult than leading a company.
Company employees will submit obediently, because they hope to still be able to get money from where they work.
While the child and wife will obey the father and husband because they want to get the guarantee of heaven. Heaven itself has never been seen.
Though they had never seen it, they remained convinced that heaven existed." Fatim unknowingly returned to praise Salman.
I don't know why it made Leon's heart hurt.
In his heart Leon determined, wanted to learn more, about what was conveyed by Fatim earlier. So that he also does not look stupid in front of a beautiful girl in front of him.
Especially when Fatim said, being a leader for a household that can guide his child and wife is quite difficult.
Make him determined to make the most of his time by learning again.
"Let's eat. I spent the hunt." joked Fatim.
"Eh, yeah-yes." Leon washed his hands, then ate with his hands like Fatim.
Fatim looked at Leon, and smiled. Leon accidentally raised his head and saw Fatim smiling at him. He also returned with a smile.
Although sometimes behaving like dogs and cats, in fact Leon and Fatim are now enjoying lunch together with a joke.
Leon was also more and more amazed at the girl before him. And want to know him more closely.
"When you eat, it should be spent. If it is not spent, it is better to take it home. Do not leave food out often.
For leaving food and throwing it away is a disgraceful act. In Islam it is one of the signs we are less grateful for the blessings of Allah.
Even if it's just a grain of rice that falls, we still have to pick up." explained Fatim again, when he saw Leon's plate that still had rice and side dishes that were not spent.
Leon immediately patted his eel while grimacing.
"All right, I spent it." he said later.
