My Ramadhan Stories #2

Every muslims in the world must have prayed that they can fulfil the 3rd pillar in Islam successfully. The third pillar is to fast during Ramadhan. Unfortunately, I only completed 30days of fasting once in my entire life. This is because first due to menstruating. The rest should be blamed to my younger self who always cheated during fasting.hahah

So this was back when we were still in Melaka. I've always find some place and time to steal food and eat in hiding. However, on this particular day, everybody seemed to be everywhere. So my chances to grab some food seemed zero. My chance came about half and hour before dawn. The food were nicely spread on the dining table. Since there was still time, my family members sat in the living room watching tv while waiting for the Adzan. I went to the kitchen. and saw freshly cut watermelon. It looked juicy, cool and the glaring red slices were seducing me. I was really thirsty. I couldnt handle it anymore... like on autopilot mode, I grabbed 2 slices and stuffed them in my mouth!

When you are fasting, you are more thirsty than hungry.

As I said earlier, it was almost time to break fast. I was fasting the whole day but I lost the battle with just slices of watermelon..... and as usual, nobody noticed. Ironically, at that time, I felt like I've won again for not fasting during fasting month. muahahahah
