“If we have advantages and abilities in terms of finance, why not? to share happiness with the locals” Said Mrs. Hesty

 

Kota Tangerang - During Eid Fitr, the door to the house is usually opened wide, the carpet is spread, and the living room table is filled to the brim. The host usually holds an open house for guests who want to visit for hospitality. The open house tradition during Eid is carried out in various regions in Indonesia.

The host will be happy to prepare various necessities to welcome his guest, from a clean place to serving food. Homeowners usually hold an open house after Eid prayers.

Mrs Hesty's family did the same thing.

After participating in the Eid prayers at the Al-Ukhuwah Mosque, Mrs. Hesty and her family rushed straight home to attend the halal bi halal with local neighbors, then continued with an open house at the residence of Mrs. Hesty's family.

The thing that prompted Mrs. Hesty and her family

“to hold an Eid al-Fitr open house was to share happiness and fortune. Mrs. Hesty and her Family have been doing this open house for about 12 years and Insyallah, there will always be Fortune to always share happiness and hold open houses in the following years.” said Mrs Hesty

“Guests attending the open house there were several residents who were invited, and there were several residents who were already aware of the open house being held, so residents who already knew about it automatically came, usually the guests who attend range from children to the elderly.” Said Mrs. Hesty

Mrs. Hesty's preparation for the open house Approximately one week, starting from shopping, making cake, then cooking.  And the food served for guests is cooked by Mrs. Hesty's and for this open house, mrs hesty cooked 8 types of food. And in it there is always a special and favorite menu every year, namely: Ketupat Sayur, Ayam Woku, Daging Teriyaki, Ayam Suir and Jengkol.

“usually the children have appeared at the door. What for? apparently to queue THR. and this is one of the unforgettable moments every year” Said Mrs. Hesty

“There is one moment that is most memorable and shocking. When our family and I had just returned from performing the Eid al-Fitr prayers, there were already many elementary and junior high school children lining up in front of the terrace even though the door to our house was still closed, so when my child opened the door, there were already children lined up neatly waiting for us to come home.” Said Mrs. Hesty
