This year’s Eid was a very meaningful one. I had waited so long for this day to come. The moment I stepped down from the train (a day before Eid), my mother told me that my cousin’s husband had an accident just a few hours before I arrived, and he had passed away. My cousin had been married to him for only 3 months, and is now 2-months pregnant :(
So the trip to Boyolali was instantly cancelled, instead, all the relatives and families came to Semarang for the funeral. My cousin’s husband was then buried on Eid morning, just after the prayer. Hope he rests peacefully :)
Second day of Eid, we did the traditional “sungkeman” ceremony (everyone in the big family said their sorries, and forgave each other). This sungkeman went so nice and brought everyone closer to each other.

And in no time, holidays were over, now I’m back at the office, working again. Seeing my work colleagues and from the looks of it, no one’s gonna be working for the next couple of hours, because its full of handshaking, blessing each other a happy Eid and forgiving each other. A very “homey” atmosphere indeed.

Hope u guys had a meaningful Eid, too ;)
