Alhamdullilah...I'm now engaged to my college best friend. It was a joyful event. I've been wanting to write for sometime now, I have been telling Hazim about how much I wanted to blog. I just haven't got the time, I am so caught up with work and wedding preparation. So maybe, I'll be doing a few short posts...InsyaAllah
Love at First Sight
If the title above is what you are looking for, our story is not the one you should be reading. This is a real life story, this isn't a fairy tale, this is definitely not a chocolate coated candy...this is a story about life, fate and destiny. It all started on one fine Tuesday evening, while waiting for the book sales booth to open (I was talking to my friend Jana) came along a fine young man who then said "Are you Syafiqah?" looking straight at Janarisa Mustar May. Upon hearing that, I was ready to make my most subtle exit when Jana answer "No, she is!" pointing straight at me. Darn Jana!...why can't you just lie? Whatever this guy want from me, I don't want anything to do with it. Then he turn to me and said " I'm your mentor, my name is Khairul Hazim. If you have any problem with your studies, you can come and find me"
How was that? can I start a love novel now? *chuckles* If Zatil read this she would say, if you want to write your story Fie, you better be publishing it as a telenovela. Truth is..I first met Hazim personally on 12th July 2005, that was the day he mistaken me for Jana. We've known each other for almost 8 years. Some may have thought we've been together since then. No we don't. He has been nothing more than a really good friend, we have seen each other through bad and good times, tears and laughter...all these things that we went thru are priceless. Through all that, we learn about each other, try to understand each other better, be a better person.
When we first met, I've not imagine that he would be an important person to me. But our friendship make us an important person in each others life. That is how we come together.
The night of Fireworks
People say,
Love will never find you if you look for it. But if you stop searching and try to be a better person instead, the right person will find his way to you.
That is what happen to us. Somewhere in February 2011,we were both tired and sleepy that night, back from a friend's birthday party. I was post Medical call (in HTAR) saying that, you can imagine how sleepy I was. When we reached the car, we noticed his headlights were on! To his horror, his car engine can't start. I was too tired and too sleepy to process any of this...something bout the headlights causing the battery to run out. I made a decision that I just want to sleep. Qistin was already snoozing on the back seat of his car. I'm next, I told myself. But he was persistent to keep me awake. He showed me a few games on his iPhone asking me to play with it. Then, there's the sound of fireworks and also a bunch of "tanglung" in the sky. It was the night of Chap Goh Meh. The view was just beautiful, both of us was just standing by the car awed by the beautiful lights. Then he turn to me and say "You know, everything happened for a reason. Sometimes, things happen so that we can take a pause in our lives and see how wonderful things are around us. Things that we took advantage everyday". To my amazement he turn to me and say "I sayang you Fie, I sayang you sangat2".
*me being me, I just had to spoil the moment*
