The State of Being Ready
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
*
I am beyond glad seeing a super senior getting married to somebody whom I know personally. Though it is indeed surreal, I really can't fake my happiness. Looking at their wedding photos, both of them grinning at the camera, holding each other's hands~ They look sooo cute together!
Alhamdulillah that they are united by Allah and I pray that their marriage will last forever, insyaAllah till jannah, for real :) aminnn
(of course, this prayer is for my dear friend who got married last year too hihi)

I always like to discuss about the matter of marriage.
(It might be because I accidentally bought the book 'Pemilik Cintaku Setelah Allah dan Rasul' when I was 14 haha. Maybe!)
The idea of devoting a huge part of your life to a stranger and sharing (almost) everything with that somebody is just unimaginable. Not THAT unimaginable since we are fed with countless romance series on TV showing the lives of married couples - mostly based on novels nowadays. Yeah yeah I get it. We always think of the lovey dovey side of the story but sometimes we purposely shut our eyes to the scary and hideous parts?
No, am totally not saying that marriage is an ugly thing. Not at all.
It is in fact a sacred union of two completely different individuals, coming together to build a family that will soon insyaAllah enter Allah's heaven. Isn't that simply magical?
But surely, it is not an easy path to walk on, I believe?
Yelah, harga syurga bukan seindah cerita-cerita di TV bila mana si puteri dan sang putera 'live happily ever after' setelah disatukan.
There will be so many challenges and tribulations await. Marriage is a test of faith as well yknow?
Though this statement might be cliche but once we marry a man, we simultaneously are marrying his whole family and suddenly we've got new parents, siblings, uncles and aunties, anak-anak buah etc.
How can someone be utterly ready to embark on this type of life with a whole set of people whom he/she barely knows?
How can they be so sure that the person they're marrying is indeed THE ONE?
Ajaib.
Di saat manusia yang lemah tak mampu nak menggalas tanggungjawab dan amanah hidup berkeluarga dengan bahunya sendiri, Allah yang bekalkan kekuatan.
Kekuatan daripada yang Maha Agung. Who could ever deny this hmm? :)
So, my dearest Amalina, let's not think of getting married promptly, shall we? Because you still got lots of things to improve about yourself and let's together focus on being the best for The One who knows you best.

Just because the marriage life is strictly a no-entry zone for you now.
Not yet, okay?
