Idul Adha is time for meeting with my whole family.
Idul adha was about to come. It was two days before Idul Adha. I was fasting as almost moslem did. I also prepared to go to my hometown in Sidoarjo. I was in my home two days before Idul Adha day. When Maghrib came, Takbir was shouted everywhere and the street was crowded by children who was wandering around the town by bringing the candle made from bamboo. It was called ‘obor’ which used gas oil to light the fire.
I was interested to ride my motorcycle with my mother to see how was ‘takbiran’ hold this year. Was it as crowded as last year? So I kept wandering around and spoke with my mother. It was precious time for me and my mother to speak a lot since I didn’t go home for long time. I guess my mother missed me so much. Thus, she asked me to buy any snacks or drinks I wanted. She also asked my daily activities in Malang. In fact, I also missed my mother so much. Since I was in college, I didn’t have time to go home often. I got busy with the assignments I got in the classes and other things.
The next morning, sholat Idul Adha was held in the mosque which is near with my home. I went to the mosque with my mother, my father, my brother and my sister. I felt so happy that we could gather in this valuable time. I shouted takbir along the way to praise the happiness to Allah. I really thanked that I was given a chance to meet Idul Adha this year.
After attending solat Idul Adha, we went back to our home to help my neighbor in cutting and dividing the meat of ‘kurban’. We were busy to prepare the meat. The women were preparing the food, and the men were cutting the meat in many parts. We also made sate.
After finishing the meat, we were going to have a rest before dividing the meat to whom were listed. My father listed my neighbor and divided the meat in a list. I and my friends got duty to divide the meat to my neighbor mentioned in the list.
It was late in the afternoon when the duty was completely done. I was very tired and fell asleep. When I was awaken, My mother has cooked the meat in various meal. I was happy to see the meal on the table. But I was to full to eat all the meal.
I was also bored to see the meat everywhere and every time. But I knew that my mother would be disappointed if I didn’t eat and brought the meat for my friends in Malang. Thus, I kept eating the meat, and also brought it for my friends. Of course, my friends who went to their hometown also brought the meat. We got bored to see the meat and didn’t have appetite to eat it. Meats were everywhere and became annoying thing. Especially for the cooked meats which was served with coconut milk. It was smelly and sticky.
Usually I liked to eat meat very much. But in this moment, I didn’t touch the meat at all.
