Eid Day

Prayer Rug

Last week I went to Blitar with my family. We decided to go there by train because we can enjoy the beautiful view from the train.

A few days after, Eid day has come! I don't know, I'd rather be happy or be sad. In order to perform this congregational prayer, my family and I had to do a cross walk in the early morning. My mom was the most motivated person at that time that has to made us rush. She told me to keep my prayer rug at home. She told me that we can pray with only one rug and maybe the committee had prepared the largest rug for the performer. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there's is no largest rug or anything! Even the separator between the men and women. Me and my mom laughed together, because the only largest thing is the green field. We decided to sit on my mom's prayer rug. Peoples are starting to come and I just realized that I had a culture shock. They starting to lighting their cigarettes! Even the people from the first row. I can't wait until it's done. But, the view was very amazing. The only thing I can enjoy. There are so many coconut trees around us and the birds keep singing all the way home. This congregational prayer is the sign that Ramadan is over. The view was worth it. We must be sad because Ramadan is over, we hope that we can make it through the next year. Also, we must be happy because we can meet and greet other people and our families, eating a very nice meals and many more.
