A kenduri

 We are going to have a tahlil kenduri tomorrow at my mother's house. Alhamdulillah. Today, I will be busy cutting the dried chillies, boil and blend them. I  also need to prepare gula Melaka. I don't use sugar for my sambal. The 3 kg prawns cleaning, better do it tomorrow morning because the kenduri will be at night. 

When there's a kenduri , who was always the busiest guy? Going to the market many times because my mother kept forgetting the things for the kenduri. Who's that guy? He's always in my heart. Abah, my late father. He loved kenduri. He loved giving people food . He and my mother 're always the best hosts. When he was healthy, he would bring a few pots of lauk and a big pot of rice to the mosque. I don't remember either during Ramadhan or Maulidur Rosul. It was a long time ago. Not everybody can be like him. He's my Abah. You went to their house when they're healthy, you would leave with a full stomach. They wouldn't let you feel hungry. 

I hope my mother will be happy with this kenduri just like when she had Abah around. Aamiin ya Allah.
