It’s 1..2..3..4! September 30, 2010

Wan & Hazlin Journey Ticker

While I was in the middle of a strenuous technical meeting at the office this morning, suddenly I received an SMS that has carved a spontaneous wide smile on my face and broken a small laughter.

We have been married for 1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks & 4 days

It was him, my husband, with his ‘selamba’and out-of-sudden joke that I always love.

In my head I was imagining that he was spending his free time before bed by browsing through our dusty blog and found our marriage ticker. My guess was right when later I received an email from him asking for the username and password to access the blog account. That proves how long we have been neglecting the site.

My colleague who was sitting next to me asking me what has caused my sudden joy.  I showed her the SMS and then she said “Laa.. baru nak cakap congrats.. ingatkan anniversary ke..”.

Well, everyday is our anniversary; my heart said. Instead of voicing out the answer, I responded to her remarks with a smile.

Time flies very fast and we don’t realize that we have walked through our marriage journey this far. Alhamdulillah, I feel so blessed by Allah with this marriage; with a very loving husband and a soon-to-be-delivered baby. Even though we are separated thousand miles away for most of the time, Allah has made our hearts closer day by day. Even though we are yet to have the chance to settle down together at one place and make a living like a normal family, we are still confident that the day will come. If it’s not now here, it’ll be later there. We have started this journey together in the name of Allah; so we hope to reach our destination i.e. jannatullah, with His redha.

Later at night, I called my dear husband for our daily 10-minute chat (yes, we try to make ourselves discipline in order to save on the telephone bill). He started the conversation by teasing me with a quiz: Ok, how long have we been married? Uncertain with my answer, I sloooowly replied his question (with long mmmmmm and errrrrr in between) while my fingers rapidly pushing the buttons on the phone to check back his SMS this morning.

“It’s 1 year… emmm.. 2 months… errrr… 3 weeks and 4 days! Eh abang, do you realize it?! It’s 1.. 2.. 3.. 4!!”

“Ye la sayang, tak perasan pulak..”.. and we both broke into a big laughter.

Oh well friend, you can proceed with your wish..

Happy ‘1 2 3 4’ Anniversary to us!
