My family had celebrated Hari Raya Puasa together with thrills of joy and sincerity last year. During the one month period, we had never tried to speak negatively and had acted in a polite manner each time we visited our relatives' and friends' houses. We were supposed to seek forgiveness from them for any bad deeds we had done to them,either verbally or relationally.
On the first day of the occasion, my father and I dressed up similarly to express ourselves as close father and son before we headed to the mosque to pray. At the mosque itself, dozens of eyes stared at us both. I just faked smiles at them as I was speechless at that moment .
When we had done with our prayers and returned home, all my family members sat at the seats in the house and started apologising to each other. Some of us, especially my mother, cried while apologising. This shows true sincerity and deeply wanting to rid the bad deeds. I'm proud of my mother as I knew that usually the younger ones in the family would commonly commit mistakes while she rarely scold us.
We visited our grandparents firstly,then the others. My cousins and I ate,watched television,played video games and,of course, we received MONEY! It was a very auspicious day for us,after fasting for a month. This symbalizes our victory and I was happy, being able to celebrate it with my beloved family.
