Ramadan Without Sua
The End of Ramadan

The month of Ramadan has not lasted nearly a month. That means that all Muslims around the world are preparing for the coming of victory. However, this time the day of Eid comes when the earth seems to grieve. Human beings should keep their distance from each other. Therefore, when usually welcoming Ramadan with a traveling takbir this time can not be done. Enough to echo the takbir in each house.

Just like now in the City of Malang. Only mosques offer the Adhan. There is no traveling takbir, usually every mosque congregation will go around and shout takbir. However, it is now very quiet. The streets are also very quiet.

At home, Dhito gathered with his Father and Mother with Diva, his sister. Enjoy this evening at the end of Ramadan with family.

"Just this time well, at night takbir we did not go to the mosque" said Bu Lastri.

Bu Lastri and Pak Hardi have a habit of spending takbir nights in the mosque by echoing the adhan and gathering with the congregation. After all, his house is fairly close also from the Mosque so it can indeed spend time at night Takbir like this.

"Yes, Mom. Usually we follow the Kultum in the mosque directly. Now, it should be really at home. Humans cannot be close to each other, only with one family," replied Mr. Hardi.

Usually, before the time to break the fast, Mr. Hardi and Bu Lastri also chose to go to the mosque and attend Kultum, then received a certificate distributed by the mosque that certainly has the date. Just this year, Mr. Hardi and Bu Lastri did not participate in Ramadan activities at the mosque. Completely in the house.

"If in Makassar, Dhito used to buy Ijo Banana Ice, Mom. In Makassar it feels good to break the fast by enjoying Ijo Banana Ice, and eating Konro Soup with Buras," Dhito said.

All that is also because in Makassar of course Makassar typical food that is often eaten by Dhito for two years more living in Makassar. Now, it's different. Can no longer enjoy the typical food of Makassar that is so delicious as Konro Soup, Cakalang Fish, and Ijo Banana Ice.

"Different ramadan huh, Nang," replied Bu Lastri.

Dhito nodded his head. "Yes, Mom. So different. Add different because it is far from Dik Dhita," he replied.

Of all the differences that exist, the one this year that is so different is so far from Ardhita. Usually on Takbir nights like this, Dhito often picks up Ardhita and is at his house. Can chat with his family. To be closer and familiar with the Hardi family which will later become part of his family. However, now Ardhita can not bring home because Ardhita is still in Natuna.

"Yes, I'll call you first, Dhita," said Miss Lastri.

Therefore, Dhito asked permission to his Father and Mother to contact Ardhita first. The young man immediately headed to his room and made a video call to Ardhita.

Ardhita

Connected ....

" Hello, Assalamualaikum, Dik ...."

"Waalaikumsalam, Mr. Dhito. Night at home, huh Mas?" ask Ardhita.

So, Dhito nodded his head. Indeed, the fact now just out of the house just feels not calm. To work alone it feels so panicked. However, Dhito still has to work. His desire to save first before he will marry Ardhita.

"Yes, Dik .. at home. How was Takbir's night in Natuna?" ask Dhito.

"At home too, Mommy. It's quiet here. The island is remote, the population is also not much" Ardhita replied.

"Oh, maybe because it's remote so TKI and TKW are isolated in the Hospital there well?" ask Dhito.

"It's possible, Mas. But exactly how I know too. Tomorrow will come again, TKI from Malaysia, Mas. It will be quarantined here as well" Ardhita later said.

Dhito knows that maybe when more and more TKI came and quarantined there to make the medics work harder. So, most likely Ardhita will also be more tired for the next few days.

"Sok is Ramadan, Dik," said Dhito.

There was sadness in his voice. Tagged with Ardhita. Remember the previous Ramadhan when they followed each other Ramadan in their respective family homes. But now the two cannot meet.

"Yes, Mas. The first time we live Lebaran far apart, huh? Can't meet at all" Ardhita replied.

"Yes, usually even if I'm far away in Makassar. I will always go home to Malang, every time Lebaran. Just this time we really couldn't meet," Dhito replied.

Sad feeling. However, it is often not able to do anything like this now. You can only meet in virtual, not real.

"Tomorrow I'll call you again. We celebrate Lebaran together" said Dhito.

So Ardhita nodded her head in agreement with her fiance. "Okay, Mas Dhito."

Although the longing is passionate, but indeed the two can not try to meet. The road seems closed. However, with virtual meetings, it can at least reduce a little longing in the soul.
