Ramadhan and Us

"Do you know when is the fasting month, Ramadhan?"
"Next month, right? Eh, no, end of this month?"
"Yes, you are right!"

"Eh, my first time coming to your house was during Ramadhan, right?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, first time seeing your family.."
"Oh ya!"
"I only break my fast with bread, so when we arrived at your house, I ate your mom's sardine curry kaw kaw.. yummy!"
"Sure sardine curry?"
"Yes, I am very sure.. I remember you call your mom first, asking what she cooked.. then you asked me, sardine can eat haa?"
"Owh.. ya ya.. hahaha.."

We came to his family house without telling his mom first. Surprise! Hahaha..
I still remember, when he introduced his sister, his mother.. They look so... pure.. with pretty smiles.. and welcoming me so warm. Sure I was shy and worry too, of course his mum asked me a lot of questions but I still feel very comfortable. No wonder he is a nice man, his family is also very nice and kind people.

After eating, he, his sister and I went to a restaurant, buying roti nan and tandoori chicken for me. Theywere so worry if I will be hungry the whole night. "You are fasting during the day.. eat.. eat.." I kept the food for my sahur.

"I remember your daddy light up the candle for me to have my sahur...!! aawwww.. so sweet..."
That morning, it was a blackout.
"Morning Uncle!"
"Morning... "
That was my first conversation with his dad.

"Do you remember how you woke up that morning?"
"eerr.. how?"
"Hei! I woke you up la...! "
"Owh, hahaha.. really ha?"
"Ya la.. pity you if not sahur.. huh, I woke you up but you don't remember.."
"Hehehe.. okay, okay.. so you will have the pahala too!"
"What is pahala?"
"Eerr.. the opposite of sin.. "
"Owh.. okay.."
"You woke me up for fasting, then you also gt the pahala..."
Now I have the word. It is REWARD.

"So, do you miss the murtabak Bazar Ramadhan? hahaha..."
"Hey, don't start"
"Hahahaha.. eh, do my parents know about your story and murtabak?"
"Hey, don't tell me that you are going to call you parents and tell them!"
"Or, I put on my Facebook status now?"
"Noooooo!!!"

Murtabak Bazar Ramadhan

The first day of Ramadhan last year, we went out. He also did not eat the whole day, saying pity me. Actually, I also felt pity him.

We went to Bazar Ramadhan, bought a lot of food. Hahaha. yes, we were greedy. Then we kept them in the car. After breaking my fast with a drink and pop corn (we were in the cinema, watching the Minion! hahaha) I performed the Maghrib prayer. Then when we were again in the car, he asked, "so where we are going?"
"Eerr.. eat what we already bought la..."
"Eh, I want to find the murtabak from Bazar Ramadhan.."
"Now?"
"Yeah...?"

Then I burst to laugh. He thought the Bazar Ramadhan was still be opened after the break fasting time. He look so innocent at that time... Hehehe.. I know I made him quite angry by laughing,but I cannot help myself. What make him angry more, was not my laugh, but I was spontaneously called friends, telling the story.

"Hey, I didn't care about when the Bazar Ramadhan is opened before this la..."

Okay, okay... I am sorry, Mr Cute
