FOUR GUYS, ONE MARRIED


Those are Sofinoris from Madura, Ekass from Jember, Ichya the Chosen from Blitar, and me from a small town Bangil. We all are from East Java. However, we are in  a rural village in the corner of West Java, Kampung Naga.

Here, in Mr. Otoy's house, a native occupant of Kampung Naga, we share ideas about many things, from 'the side dish of the lunch' to 'the anarchy model of a community', from 'how the very simple technology work in Kampung Naga' to 'the mysterious things in the history of Kampung Naga.

At once, someone said that the residents in Kampung Naga do the prayers only once a day. As we all know, as Moslems, we do the prayers five times a day: Dawn (Shubuh), Noon (Dhuhur), Afternoon ('Ashr), Dusk (Maghrib), and Evening ('Isya) prayer.Then we asked to Mr. Otoy, "Is that right that you pray only once a day?" 
He said, "That's right." 
What??? (I was so surprised)
He said again, "We do Dawn prayer once a day. Noon prayer once a day, and so on. We never say doing Dusk prayer two times a day."
Oh... I see.

At last, we should respect other people whatever they do as long as they don't disturb or destroy the peace of the circumstances.That is what we should do. Similar to that, I say to Sofinoris, Ekass, and Ichya to get married soon. Don't be afraid of disturbing the others due to your wedding party.
