Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim
I am not singing a sad song. FACT number 1, I realised all of a
sudden, thanks to a friend who reminded me of how sad I was 2 years back by
telling me, hmmm…your nasty ex has become a father, are you sad? And I smiled,
and said nope, am actually happy for him. And thank You Allah, Alhamdulillah, I
am finally freed of all the sadness that had been haunting me for at least, yup…2
long years. I am breathing the sweetness air of being able to smile at the
thought of how silly I was to have fallen for the wrong side of the world.
Everything that happened 2 years
back had really changed me. That is the FACT
number 2. Am loving it. I still
loves listening to rock music and despise love songs that are truly a lie to
me; and I still thinks Ville Valo is gorgeous and he is not faking it; and I still
fancies the colour red eventhough red is already outdated; and I still loves
cooking for others eventhough every dishes that I cook is according to what I felt
like having, myself…ahahhah!; and I still hate winter and I still am for the
rest of my life. So, what are the changes? I am still who I am.
One great thing that I realised
is, when I felt lost, Allah is always with me. When I am sad, Allah gives me
strength and courage. When I felt weak to face the world, Allah brightens up
the day for me to see clearly. Because after all, He would not challenges you with
things that you can’t handle. That is FACT
number 3.
I come to realise that self-therapy
is important to overcome sadness. In a way, I come to understand myself when
handling rough situation. I climbed mountains so that I can forget my problems.
In a way, it does help a lot. The view at the peak, is priceless. Every step
with every hike I did with dhikr, SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar. To
see the world from different perspective, through the eye of a believer, the
greatness of its Creator, MashaAllah. FACT
number 4.
And, FACT number 5. It is not that I am not thinking of getting married
at all. Been getting all this question for at least once a month. Not too bad. But
the way I see it, has really changed. I used to think that marriage is a
fairytale. You found someone nice, get married, settle down, have children, and
all is all. Lovely. But now, finding someone to love, to spend your whole life
with, is not that easy. Baking apple pie is way too easy than finding yourself a
perfect other half. I truly believe that everything has been written down in
Luh Mahfuz. Holy Qur'an states: "They (wives) are an apparel for you, and you are an apparel for them." (2:187). Marriage is a union of souls and I am praying for an ideal Muslim as a husband, and I will try my best to be a good Muslimah and together we will walk down our life to the path of Allah swt. Ameen~
From this point on, I will
cherish life more than I did before. May Allah bless us all with happiness and Hidayah. Ameen.
