Going Back to Semarang

It was Friday. In the morning I slept again after praying. I felt so exhausted. The house was crowded of people preparing stuff for ruwahan. Ruwahan is a benediction led by a religious leader organized at the Islamic month of Syaban. Syaban is Ruwah, in a Javanese term.

At 08:00 I accompanied Mahardi to a place around Pendem Ngadirejo to see a piece of land. We met the owner. A short talk was occured but not came to a deal. On the way to the family house we stopped by a soto soup kiosk for having breakfast.

At 12:00 I joined the Friday prayer in the Masjid As-Shafi. I, Priyono, and Mahardi went there by walking.

At 16:00 the Ruwahan benediction was conducted. The leader was Paklik Mustofa. About 35 people gathered in the session. I recognized some of them but I did not most of them.

At 22:45 I, Nuri, Asri, and Fitri left the house for Semarang. Priyono had left previously at 15:00. At Pingit area we found the traffic jam. There was a road rehabilition. We had to pass in turn. At 00:45 we arrived at home after dropping Fitri and Asri at Asri's house.
