Yes, you're reading it right!
Tak tahu mahu bermula dari mana.
Walaupun persetujuan dicapai 10 bulan yang lepas, tapi ada kisah disebaliknya yang lebih panjang dan lama.
Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli ni'mah

"Jan kau taknak kahwin ke? Tak suka sesiapa ke? Takkan nak jadi macam apa tu… yang orang kata andartu tu?" — X, 2017
Tak salahkan dia untuk ada aggapan begitu. Sebab dari dulu segan nak bukak topik cinta, rasa macam tak cool dan terlalu mainstream haha poyonya. Tapi memang susahnya nak jatuh hati dengan mana-mana lelaki. Alhamdulillah. Rasa tu Allah pelihara sehingga bertemu dia (:
Alhamdulillah, my husband gonna be my first and only kekasih hati.
Memang pernah rasa tak realistiknya ciri-ciri yang diletakkan. Tapi tak pernah berhenti berdoa dari dulu (read: bertahun-tahun) untuk seorang peneman yang terbaik dari sisi Allah, dan menepati apa yang ada dalam senarai. Tak pernah. Till I met him and received his BM (baitulmuslim) form.
I'm not putting any high expectation, but he fits my bare minimum atleast.
"Saya pun khair akak untuk proceed to the next step inshaaAllah sebab tak nampak any contradiction dengan borang saya so far." - 10th Feb 2020
Idk about him but I do feel like Allah has custom us for each other. Our form matched, sampai terfikir dia ni pernah curi-curi baca borang BM kita ke? I don't even have a reason to say 'no' to not proceed with the ta'aruf.
5th April 2020,
I'm still in the UK and he already reached Malaysia so it's an online taaruf (covid lagipun kan) haha bersyukur tak perlu taaruf depan-depan. Nasib baik pro buat muka macam tak ada perasaan sebab tak tau nak sorok segan dekat mana.
Cukuplah selama ni dah selalu jumpa dan deal sekali untuk program-program dekat UK.
"Tu lain awak. Organise program dengan taaruf ni tak sama." — kak S
"Awak jangan serius sangat. Ni bukan meeting EMAN tau." — kak S
Haha awal-awal sesi lagi naqibah dah pm tepi pesan macam-macam.
We're taking turn to ask questions, alternately. The 2hrs session went well alhamdulillah. Two hours? Yes dear, the session was that long and we didn't realise the clock's ticking. It's a life decision btw and we've to make everything clear. Takkan kau nak kahwin dengan flat earther kan? Flat-earther ok lah jugak tak membahayakan nyawa. Tapi kalau berkahwin dengan anti-vaksin dan kau pro-vaksin, tak ke ribut taufan rumah tangga tu nanti.
Most importantly, what's the life principle that he wanna live by and does it align with yours? I'm not giving any guarantee the marriage gonna be easy but atleast easier to create the path together since you have the same goal and idea.
There's always risks in any decisions made but we have the control to minimise it at this early stage aite? So, let's use the chance wisely.
Fast forward: Post-taaruf — when ppl asked "how do you know if he's the one?"
To be honest, I'll never know if he's the one till the day we're tied.
But, sure enough I believe I'm the one for him. Firm.
Give more and expect less.
With that in mind, I'll just focus on things that I can control, to improve myself, to support him, to be the best life partner for him — by Allah wills.
As much as how I will love you, I always pray may Allah always be my first.
Atas nikmat yang sangatlah besar ni, semoga kita lebih banyak beramal dan berbakti. Kerana jika bukan pada jalan ni, mungkin takkan pernah kita saling mengenali apatah lagi untuk disatukan begini.
Thank you for choosing me to be your partner in takwa (:
p/s: ada orang tu ingatkan kita ni macam taknak kahwin :p ntahlah sebab kita punya conversation strict sangat kot. Yelah, dah kahwin nanti barulah boleh nak hantar text sweet-sweet (or maybe he just don't know my love language yet).
