Living in college is really tough, but you can break the words if you used to it. For real, I never experienced lives far away from my family back then. There was a lot of questions in my mind especially when this fasting month comes and it was like- "Where do i have to get my food for 'sahur'? How earlier should I wake up to have some food ? How 'sahur' at cafe will be like ?" A night before the 1st Ramadhan's night, I did call my parents and asked them for everything. In my anxious condition, they calm me down and made me think positively. Then, the day (1st Ramadhan's) comes. I was fasting and felt good, trough all day with goods, met friends and had a quality time together. Im not that too hungry and felt thirsty due to my hectic schedule. All the homeworks and assignments made me forget that feels. Afterwards, when the sun was getting set, we all rushed to find and buy food. As that was the first, I was quite shocked seeing the crowded, it was like the ocean of people and it was hard to see the gap between them. Well, of course I wasn't swimming in that ocean of people. I went the other way. We still have to mind our gap and follow the SOP. After I buy my food, I find a place to sit for iftar. While waiting for adzan, I kept du'a as we know the time before iftar is one of the best time for prayer and the gift was granted by Allah SWT. Then, a few minutes after, the adzan resounded. The sound of adzan was really touched my heart. I felt gloomy for awhile because I kept thinking the past when I'm with them, my family was having iftar together. I was almost dripping my tears but I can't. I took a deep breath and continue finish my food then. 🥀
