How I Met Your Father

Hi guys,

Baca balik my 1st 2021 post aku dah break a rule. Aku nak tulis 1 month 1 entry kan haaa. Tapi takde pun mengkomee. Padahal masa tu mco dan aku hanya duduk rumah sebab tak boleh masuk lab usm lagi. Banyak je masa sebenarnya -..-

Tapi tulah, blog ni hampir dilupakan dek kerana kesibukan aku sebagai seorang suri rumah echewaahhh hahaha. Sekarang aku suka betul menghasilkan dan mencuba pelbagai masakan. Dah masak, aku tangkap gambar buh dalam whatsapp status. So far aku tak pernah lagi la upload my so called food pictures in any platforms except for whatsapp status because I feel like my food is not that powerful enough to go so public and become celebrities just yet ahahaha. So my simple equation is that only my close friends would have the chance to see mine since I have your number and you have mine. So yeah, hope that my everyday food does not annoy anyone in my contact. If you get irritated by it, mute my story please.

Since I cook everyday and I feed my husband with so many good foods, my husband now gain a few kg. Sekarang dah tak kurus, dia dah hensem banyak tau =P 

Okay let's go back to this post: How I Met Your Father. 

I talked about this post for such a long time already. Selalu sangat main-main dengan Kak Mas pasal ni. Like 4-6 years ago we came across a news on a Malaysian married a Korean man. Lepastu berangan lah kami berdua kenkonon nak buat post yang sama hahahaha. But then, last year on 2020 I was married to a guy far from a so called oppa aha! But alhamdulillah, I call him as the guy in my prayer :) 

When I had no one, I keep on praying that Allah SWT would grant me someone who would compliment me. I let Him know in my dua all the traits and characters that I seek for. My goal in marriage is of course Jannah and I really want someone who would lead me especially in this deen. At the same time I was striving to prep myself to be a better muslimah so that when  I met the right one, I was all ready to shout let's embrace marriage and hunt for more rewards from Allah SWT.

Maha suci Allah yang mengetahui segalanya. He sent me the right guy at the right time and place. I was invited to be one of the panelist in a forum in my former school. The forum was pretty much on secularism and liberalism but we tried to convey all the points in a language that the kids would probably understand. So that was the starting point where he lead the alumni and be the forum moderator. Practically we were schoolmates but apparently we have no memories together. We've known each other for 10 years that time but we never talked to each other except for that time. So can you guys imagine how our batch-mates freaked out when we broke our marriage news? It was so funny that I didn't dare to reply anything in our batch whatsapp group. So we both stayed silent till things toned down a little.

So at that program, as we talked (of course on work), I realized he was quite a man of a kind. Terdetik pulak di hatiku masa tu "eh untung siapa dapat jadi isteri dia ni" literally out of nowhereee haha. Tapi tula nak kata, betapa Allah yang pegang hati kita. When the right guys come at the right time, begitulah hati kita dijentik. At that time, I was just finished with my master's viva. So that was the time when I submitted my thesis, back for good and reached my home. Several months after we met, he finally approached me.

When he told  his intention, we started to go in depth on our vision and mission in marriage. No sweet and love words, he went direct and we tried to get each other opinion and thoughts on marriage. Our goal in life especially. We just wanted to know whether our thought intercepted so that this marriage would go toward its success especially in the eyes of Allah SWT. 

Things went so fast though, that after a few months he finally met my dad & family. 6 months after the approach, we got engaged, and 7 months after that we got married. It's been 8 months of marriage now but it still feels like yesterday. I always look forward for our next dating spots and dates! Since we didn't date before marriage (we wanted to keep everything halal :D), it is always reviving to do everything together! Basically it's our 8 months of dating period hence it feels so hati berbunga haha. And I want to keep feeling this for the next thousand years IAllah. 

So if one day our son/daughter asked us how we met each other, I would tell them we were school mates but your dad didn't make a move on me at the time. We both relied on Allah SWT so much and tried to keep everything in a way which is permissible in Islam. So that when the time was perfect (after 10 years), Allah SWT destined us to meet in the most beautiful way :)
