Enjoying Dates, Cita Citata Talks About Her Boyfriend's First Fasting Experience

Kapanlagi.com - This year marks the first Ramadan fasting moment for Cita Citata's boyfriend, Roy Maher Geurts. Still in the adjustment process, it's no wonder that he felt surprised when he had to fast for about 12 hours.

Especially since Roy is known as someone who exercises daily. "Roy was surprised. After breaking the fast, he felt weak and immediately went to sleep. So now he is observing what should not be eaten during suhoor and iftar in order to avoid feeling weak," said Cita when met in Jakarta, Tuesday (28/4).

"Because he is really into working out and he exercises a lot. He doesn't want to be lazy and become fat. So he is looking for the right food to break the fast in order to avoid feeling weak," she added.

1. Set Sleep Pattern

As a fiancée and more experienced, Cita Citata tries to give advice to Roy. For example, about the sleep pattern that should be slightly changed from usual.

"I told him that the sleep pattern should be changed. For example, usually he sleeps too late, so he should sleep earlier, after breaking the fast if possible, after 2 hours of breaking the fast, sleep. Wake up fresh. After suhoor, he sleeps again because he doesn't go to work," she explained.

2. Always Prepare Takjil

Cita Citata also often prepares takjil for Roy to break the fast. In addition to kolak, this beautiful dangdut singer never forgets to give dates as food to break the fast.

"I have prepared kolak, every time we break the fast, I give three dates. He was happy to eat dates for the first time, he said 'why is this so sweet?'. I told him that it's good to eat dates. As for kolak, it's like a unique food for him because it's rarely found. In the Netherlands, it's just normal food, there's no fasting menu," she said.
