My Story, From Mosque to Stall, Starts with Prayer, Continues with a Smile

Today I want to share a story about my early morning activities with my family. Hopefully this story can be an inspiration or just add color to your day.

Hari ini saya ingin berbagi cerita tentang awal aktivitas pagi saya bersama keluarga. Semoga kisah ini bisa menjadi inspirasi atau sekadar menambah warna di hari kalian.

This morning, the weather was so bright. Usually it rains in the morning in our place, considering that it is now the rainy season. However, today is different from usual days. Today's atmosphere, the sky looks bright and pleasant.

Pagi ini, cuaca begitu cerah. Biasanya hujan menemani pagi-pagi di tempat kami, mengingat sekarang adalah musim hujan. Namun, hari ini berbeda seperti hari biasanya. Suasana hari ini, langit tampak cerah dan menyenangkan.

Exactly at 04.30 WIB, the alarm on my cellphone rang, a sign that it was time to wake up. I immediately got ready, waking up my wife and children. As a Muslim, of course the first step is to perform obligatory prayers.

Tepat pukul 04.30 WIB, alarm di ponsel saya berbunyi, tanda bahwa sudah waktunya bangun. Saya pun segera bersiap, membangunkan istri dan anak-anak. Sebagai seorang Muslim, tentu langkah pertama adalah melaksanakan salat wajib.

After getting ready, we went to a small mosque not far from home to perform the Subuh prayer in congregation. The atmosphere in the mosque always brings its own peace, especially in the morning.

Setelah bersiap, kami berangkat ke masjid kecil yang tak jauh dari rumah untuk melaksanakan salat Subuh berjemaah. Suasana di masjid selalu menghadirkan kedamaian tersendiri, terutama di pagi hari.

After praying, around 06.00 WIB, we decided not to go home straight away. Instead, we stopped by a favorite stall for breakfast together. This stall is unique because even though it looks luxurious, the atmosphere still maintains the typical feel of our area. The menu offered is simple but appetizing. Banana leaf wrapped rice and boiled bananas are the mainstays here.

Usai salat, sekitar pukul 06.00 WIB, kami memutuskan untuk tidak langsung pulang. Sebagai gantinya, kami mampir ke sebuah warung langganan untuk sarapan bersama. Warung ini unik karena meskipun tampak mewah, suasananya tetap mempertahankan nuansa khas daerah kami. Menu yang ditawarkan pun sederhana namun menggugah selera. Nasi bungkus daun pisang dan pisang rebus menjadi andalan di sini.

We enjoyed breakfast together while having a light chat. Although it was short, only about 30 minutes, moments like this always feel precious. After that, we returned home, remembering that the children had to get ready to go to school, and we returned to our respective activities.

Kami menikmati sarapan bersama sambil berbincang ringan. Meski singkat, hanya sekitar 30 menit, momen seperti ini selalu terasa berharga. Setelah itu, kami kembali ke rumah, mengingat anak-anak harus bersiap untuk pergi ke sekolah, dan kami pun kembali ke aktivitas masing-masing.

That's my short story this morning. Hopefully this story will be useful or at least bring a warm atmosphere to your day. Thank you for reading, and have a nice day

Demikianlah cerita singkat pagi saya kali ini. Semoga cerita ini memberikan manfaat atau setidaknya membawa suasana hangat di hari kalian. Terima kasih sudah membaca, dan semoga hari kalian menyenangkan
