Selamat Hari Raya

Friday, October 12, 2007
It was during sungkai and Azan Maghrib began playing in the radio. Zani and I planned to eat a lot today to celebrate the Syawal month. It was during the meal when we started talking about the joy of Raya.

Me: I remember we were reciting the takbir raya in Ugama school. One of them cried as I recall.
Dad: Remember the Imam last year? I think someone will cry tomorrow.
Me: Curious, why do people cry anyway during Raya?

Then the takbir raya started playing in the radio. Hearing it reminded me that Puasa just ended this year. All the hardship during the fasting month all finished full.
I felt like Christina Yang in Grey's Anatomy. That episode when she couldn't stop crying. You feel helpless during the Puasa month and all that ends today.

Thank you God. I felt like I've just cleansed myself with your blessings.
