I remember sitting on a round table. My good friends and I. Over teh tarik. We started talking about Y’s relationship which was rocking. Then I spoke up. “Life has so much to offer. Why must you be caught up with that kind of crap? I’ve yet to travel around, yet to study until I am satisfied, yet to do this and that. I only stepped on a my stepping stone to see life and guys, you gotta believe that there’s more than this whole marriage wedding boyfriends live for the rest of lifetime thing see”

Everybody froze in silent. My friends knew that my heart has been closed and I am living my own life without having to care about another. All I see was, I was only 20, beginning teaching, not even seeing any great monuments nor holding a degree. Marriage was not my thing at all. But guess what Allah did, He place love in my heart, changed my plans, eliminated those thinking. And then the hijrah. Then the wishing for a happy family.

Sometimes, I feel so scared of tomorrow. Its like living in a mystery box.
