Tomorrow we fast...

VANYA and Vienna stood on the third floor of a magnificent plaza. Looking at the people busy walking below. There are those leading children, there are those carrying large packages, there are those walking while licking ice cream, and there are also those who are just whistling. Vanya and Wina continue to look for pleasant sights in the form of cute and cute boys. Unfortunately, none of the people who were targeted have emerged. Yes, they must be satisfied with what they see now.
Suddenly Vanya closed her mind.
"You farted, didn't you, Win?" Vanya accused her of being really cool.
"It's just fine to make accusations. Where's the proof?" Vienna parried tactically.
"Which person farts can be proven? But basically you farted, right?"
"No!"
"Just admit it, okay?"
"Ugh, tell me."
"After all, who else if not you? The only one close to me is you!"
"No," Vienna insisted. "If you don't believe me, just kiss me..."
"Damn it! Why am I kissing your ass..."
"You don't believe it, do you?"
"So who is it..."
"Let's just ask the father who was standing there. Who knows, maybe he knows. Or maybe he's the one who farted."
"What if the father was offended?"
"That means he farted."
But just as Vanya was about to move on to ask, Vienna suddenly emitted a strange smell again. Vanya. stopped walking, looked at Vienna. annoyed. "Wow, you're the one who farted!"
"Yes, Vanya."
"If you're caught, you'll just admit it."
"Sorry, Vanya."
"Why are you farting all the time? Want to bomb?"
Vienna nodded.
"I can't help it, Vanya. It seems like we've had enough to eat."
"Well, don't try it yet, Win. We haven't tried the ice cream at Gaston, we haven't tried McDonald's, we haven't tried Soto Kudus at Radio Dalem, we haven't tried the snacks at Pujasera, oh, there's so much more, right?"
"But my stomach is about to explode, Vanya!"
"We're looking for the adza toilet, Win. You bomb it first."
Then Vanya and Wina hurriedly walked to look for the nearest toilet. When we met, Vienna immediately entered. Vanya is waiting outside. Take a long time. By the time Vanya was already familiar with the toilet guard.
"Neng, your friend is a persistent person, isn't he?" said the toilet guard to Vanya.
"He really adapts easily," Vanya answered, occasionally looking in.
"That's good, if he really feels at home. As his guard, I'm happy. Moreover, the rate now is three minutes!"
"Huh, just like a public telephone."
"We're rivals, Neng. He's our public telephone, right."
It didn't take long for Vienna to come out. He paid the rate without any problems, because he felt his stomach was light. After a moment of straightening their hair, Vanyaga and Wina went back to continuing their exciting snacks that day. And the second stage of the journey begins with trying all the snacks on the lower floor of Pasaraya. They order all kinds of dishes. The ones who were happy, so of course, were the male waiters there. They can serve these two sweet creatures many times.
"What other message, here?" said a male waiter in a slim shirt with a bow tie around his neck.
"What's more, it looks like we've tried all the menus," said Vanya while looking at the menu list.
"Oh, there are still lots of balloons, really."
"What?"
"Anu, it just so happens that our restaurant has just created a new menu. We're typing in the list.
Want to see?"
"No need," Wina interrupted lazily. "We're going for a walk first, then come back here later."
"Come on, Win, let's just look at it first. Maybe there's food we haven't tried yet."
"Later, what happens if I fart again?"
"How about it, do you want to see it or not?" interrupted the waiter.
"Later, we want to play around first."
"Really, huh?" please the waiter.
Actually, Vanyaga was still strong enough to eat several more portions. But if he remembered Vienna's fart earlier, he'd better stop. Because from there they all have to go to McDonald's. Even so, Vanyaga ordered ice cream first, before finally going to McDonald's.
Yes, the exciting snack event ended at McDonald's. We don't need to explain how much fun it was for them to eat burgers at McDonald's, because half an hour later, Vanyaga and Wina were already at Studio 21 waiting for Charlie Sheen's film to be shown.
Wina seemed to be lying helpless on the sofa in the cinema interior, holding her full stomach and holding in a fart. Meanwhile, Vanyaga still looks enthusiastic looking at the film pictures. Once satisfied, Vanyaga then sat next to Vienna.
"Win, let's continue gossiping. Who haven't we gossiped about earlier?"
"Vega, Eva, Gaby, Jon..."
"Oh yeah, that Vega whose calves are like a team player?"
"Yeah, those whose lips talk about lust want to be hacked."
"Yeah, the one who hangs out on the streets every night wearing skimpy clothes."
"Yeah, what... what else?"
"Ah, let's just look for something else. After all, Vega's ugliness is just that. Mostly his materialistic nature. It's not fun to talk about his materialistic nature."
"Yeah, because you're materialistic too."
"Damn you. Oh yes, it's better if we gossip about Eva, that first grader who pretends to be friendly with us."
"Oh, yes, yes. Because only yesterday I heard that Eva is a descendant of Raden. I obviously don't believe it, Vanya."
"Especially me. I know that kid very well when he was little. He liked to look for dragonflies with chewing gum, chase after broken kites, and just pay attention to his right calf."
"Why, Vanya?"
"Dotted!"
"Ah, how come I never saw it."
"Yes, if he doesn't take the school bag with him, he will leave it at home."
"Hahaha, you can do that."
There's only a little bit left to play in the film. But it seems that Vanya and Wina are still not satisfied gossiping about children.
"Win, do you know Fahmi or not?"
"Fahmi? Where is Fahmi?"
"Fahmi chicken!"
"Hahaha, chicken noodles this time."
While we were having fun laughing, there was an announcement that at Studio 3 the film was almost screened. Audience members were asked to come in.
"Eh, Vanya. Let's play the film."
"Wait a minute, we won't talk about Gaby yet."
"Tomorrow!"
"Ah, what about you? Tomorrow we start fasting. We don't have time to gossip about the kids."
"Yeah, yeah..." Wina thought. "But the film, Vanya?" ,
"Or can we just continue gossiping at the discotheque?"
"OK!"
After watching the movie, they went straight to the Fire Discotheque. The story is that two sweet children really wanted to go on an adventure on the last day before fasting. Because when they fast, they won't be able to have snacks in the afternoon anymore. Can't go to the disco. Can't gossip while JJS. And other regular events. Actually, Vienna was already exhausted, but Vanya kept pushing.
"Vanya, I'm already tired. Let's just cancel, shall we, go to the discotheque?"
"Come on, Win, I'll be fasting tomorrow."
And at the discotheque, Vanyaga and Vienna were really happy to rock out until the morning. Interspersed with gossiping in the corner. Until around one o'clock in the evening. After that they just went home. Their condition is really desperate. Vanya stays at Vienna's house. Vanya has told Mami that tonight you want to stay at Vienna's house. Wina has brought the key.
***
The strange and magical creatures finally woke up when the clock on the wall showed nine in the morning. Their heads felt heavy. Between conscious and numb, they found themselves being enveloped, just like twin babies.
Vanya, who woke up first, immediately looked around. Then hurriedly woke Vienna.
"Win, wake up, Win! Wake up! It's already afternoon!" Vanya snapped harshly while shaking Vienna's body. Vienna wriggled like a caterpillar, but her eyes wouldn't open. Plaque! Instead, his hand landed smoothly on Vanya's forehead. Vanya is so cute.
"Win, wake up, Win! Wake up!" Vanya snapped once again louder. This time he didn't just shake Vienna's shoulders, but squeezed Vienna's nose with his fingers. Wina, whose airway was disturbed, was confused.
Then he woke up like an idiot, because he wasn't fully aware of what was happening.
"Damn, Win, we overslept!" Vanya greeted as soon as Vienna opened her eyes.
"What's wrong?" asked Vienna confused.
"This is the fasting month," Vanya exclaimed.
"Yeah, then?" Vienna is still stupid.
"We should be fasting, right?"
"Yeah, just fast!" Wina said nonchalantly as she got ready to go back to sleep. Vanya of course became annoyed. Then he swiftly grabbed Wina's shirt collar which was almost touching the pillow. .
"Vanyaaa! What are you doing, why do you keep bothering people? I'm going to sleep! I'm sleepy, you know!" Finally, now Vienna is the one who snapped.
"After all, you're so stupid!" Vanya replied.
"What's stupid?" asked Wina Keki.
"We should be fasting today!"
"You already said that!"
"Just think, if we fast, what is missing?!" Vanya screamed right into Vienna's ear which immediately made Vienna's hair stand up.
Finally, Wina seemed to be thinking hard while rubbing her forehead. Until then, Wina realized what Vanya meant. Yes, Vienna just found out that she had to fast that day. But how come no one woke up this morning for sahur?
Vienna looked at Vanya like an idiot, which Vanya greeted with a look that was no less stupid. The two stared at each other for a moment. They seemed really annoyed that they didn't have breakfast, because they already had the intention of fasting this year.
While they were busy staring, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Quickly they turned around. Mama Wina came in and smiled kindly at them.
"How is our young man, is he feeling better?" Wina's mother said directly.
Wina didn't answer, but tried to get up and protest why they didn't wake up for dawn. Before she had achieved her intention, Wina suddenly felt her head become very heavy. Finally he fell helplessly on the pillow.
Mama Wina smiled meaningfully.
"See, you can't even get up, you don't want to get up to protest. Where have you been from morning until last night? How come you're so tired?" said Mama Wina.
Wina and Vanya were silent, embarrassed by their behavior yesterday
Yes, yesterday afternoon the two naughty children acted like they had just come out of exile. All snacks are brushed. They watched all the films they hadn't seen yet. This also includes going to the discotheque and gossiping with friends until their lips are on items. So in conclusion, yesterday was the last day they showed off their spirit of joy and rejoiced.
But as a result now they have fallen ill, to the point that Mama can't bear to wake Vienna and Vanya to eat sahur.
"That's why, when you want to fast, don't brush off all your food!" said Wina's mother while touching the back of her hand to Vienna and Vanya's foreheads. The two children surrendered, lying helpless.
Meanwhile, Mama continued to advise that that was not the way to approach the fasting month. "That's called revenge," said Mama.
"What happened, Auntie?" Vanya asked bravely.
"Fasting is a holy month, so we have to face it with something that is holy too. This means, if we want to fast, we have to be pure inside and out."
"How do you do it, Mom?" Vienna was also interested.
"A few days before the month of fasting, or to be precise in the middle of the month of Sha'ban, we are advised to perform the Nisfu Sha'ban prayer, by reading the letter Yasin three times. This prayer aims to ask for forgiveness of sins from Allah. After that we are also asked to forgive each other relatives, neighbors or friends. Then visit the graves of our relatives who have passed away. Lastly, wash your hair so that our bodies are clean."
"Oh, that's it, Auntie?" Vanya said understandingly.
"Yeah, so instead of being satisfied with eating until your stomach bursts."
Vanya and Vienna smiled wryly.
"Well, next year should be better, huh?"
Vanya and Vienna nodded firmly.
Mama Wina got up, carrying the dirty laundry that had piled up on the carpet under the bed.
"Eh, Mom..." Wina said slowly.
"Yes?"
"We can fast, can't we? We didn't participate in sahur last night."
"If you have sincere intentions, why not?"
Vanya and Vienna nodded. And that day they were forced to fast and talk as little as possible. Yes, because they didn't have time to brush their teeth last night. Hihihi....
