How I met your father

Feb 16, 2011. It has passed midnight and I cannot sleep.

Dah lebih 2thn couple baru nk tulis. Sblm ni nak tulis, tp xjd. Skrg dh kawin, tulislah. For memory's sake. Dh tua2 nanti bace balik mesti best. Hehe. Oh, tulis pasal apa? Tulis camne boleh couple lah. Hehe.

So ceritanya start bile ajoy try add kat yahoo messenger, tp di reject beberapa kali sebelum di ignore since yahoo id Ajoy mcm spam. Haha. Sampaila sorang kawan kitorg bgtau itu Ajoy. Baru la di un-ignored n approved. Rupe2nye Ajoy tried nk buat reunion kawan2 skolah rendah, so he was trying to get in touch with everyone. That was sometime in early September 2008 if I'm not mistaken. Mase bulan puasa.

The first phone called Ajoy made to me was a few days after that. I was driving balik keje mase tu. Naseb la jalan jem n xde polis around, so dptla layan sat. It was quite a long call for me, considering I am not much of a chatter, but Ajoy is. Diye kate nk jumpe bile2 nk discuss pasal reunion, so I said okay.

So finally sometime mid September, we met, together with Shahir. My first impression on him was, "Hensem gak Ajoy ni." Well, he had the masculine qualities that I liked. Well-built, tall, and handsome, but not metrosexual. He had a little moustache n goatee, which enhanced his masculinity even more. But having that said, I admired his smooth skin n long eyelashes, which I clearly didn't have. He was a chatter to, although most of the time him and shahir made stupid inside jokes that I barely understood, but i wasn't left alone. All in all, it was nice talking to him. Oh, did I mention he was wearing a kain pelikat because he was from the surau? Somehow I feel men in kain pelikat are sexy. Hehe J

So after that night, we met occasionally, mostly to discuss about the reunion. However there was one time where I accompanied him to Jusco Wangsa Maju for window shopping. I held his jacket while he was trying on a blazer, which he later admitted, was the time he started to feel something towards me (because of the way I was holding his jacket).

Anyway, not long after, it was time for raya. I didn't get any raya wishes from my friends (except from Jeeb), so I kinda felt like a loser. Suddenly on the second day of raya, which was on Oct 2, Ajoy texted me to wish slmt hari raya. So I replied, thanking him for making me less of a loser, and before we knew it, we continued texting each other for longer than 24 hours! Somewhere in the long texts thread, Ajoy threw me some signs, like asking me for my criteria of a perfect man, and also about my past relationships, if I remember it correctly. And when I told him that we could beat other couples even when we were not a couple because we had been texting each other non-stop (except for when I fell asleep) for 24 hours, he seemed excited and happy, albeit being in disbelief. That was the time I knew he definitely had some feelings for me, although maybe not that strong, yet.

The next morning, I went to pick him up to visit our friends for raya. And quite naturally, we acted more like a couple although we were not! He constantly watched over me, and finished my drinks whenever I couldn't finish them. He also constantly said he didn't want me to further my study oversea. However, when I asked him why he didn’t want me to go oversea while we were in the car, shyly—as if he was trying to hide something—he told me that it had only been a while since we got to meet again (as friends), and for me to go away again, was..saddening. I just laughed a bit because I knew that was not the real reason. After reaching his home, he told me that he would text me the real reason later that night.

So sure enough, he texted me right after I got home. After some mundane yet couply-type messeges (“dah sampai rumah?”, “siapa ada kat rumah?”, etc.), I asked him the real reason, but he didn't give me a straight answer. Pretty sure that he liked me, i told him that I knew he liked me and if he really liked me, I wanted him to come to see my parents and ask my hand in marriage (yes, I was that bold haha). Sure enough he was shocked, but I told him that I was tired of worthless relationships, so I was not interested in a gf-bf relationship. He told me that he felt the same way too (although I don't think he really felt that way because I think he really wanted us to be more than friends haha), but he couldn't ask me to marry him yet because of money problem, etc. Thinking that it's fair enough, I told him that it's alright, and we should just wait and see how things go.

After that night, we saw each other every night. I know I said I didn't want to be in a bf-gf relationship, but seeing him had become an addiction. We (well, at least me) would try to find a reason to see each other. After three days, I thought, "This is ridiculous. Who are we kidding?" So, on Oct 8, 2008, during our usual all day texting, I asked him if he wanted to declare us as a couple since we were acting like one anyway, although we pretended we were not. And of course he said okay (haha). So at exactly 1232pm, we were officially a couple.

After that day onwards, we follow the flow. He came to see my parents a few days later, just like we wanted (yes, he wanted to as well), although he didn't ask to marry me right away. Within the next few months, we constantly tried to talk to our family about letting us get married, although I wouldn't deny that it was hard considering we had only been together for a short period of time. But well, when you have found the right person, you will know. And we both knew that we were meant for each other despite being together for only a few weeks.

So peeps, that's how I met Ajoy (terpengaruh dengan cerita How I met your mother haha. O well, that’s not really how I met Ajoy, but that’s the story of how we got together. How I met Ajoy is a completely different story). The story goes on with his family came for merisik on Oct 25, 2009, we got engaged on Dec 12, 2009, and we got married on Feb 6, 2010 (the wedding was pulled sooner than planned because I had to go to Australia to do my masters degree on Feb 22, 2010). Ajoy joined me in Australia on July 4, 2010, and now we are waiting for our first child, who is due to be born on June 28, 2011.

So far, life is good. Life is great in fact, albeit being a poor student expecting a child. But having a great loving husband makes it all seems okay. I feel blessed. Alhamdulillah.

-0102 am. Feb 16, 2011. I should join Ajoy in dreamworld. Seronok je tgk diye tido. Good night.

P/s: post ni last2 ditulis dlm English lak. I guess I am more comfortable writing in English, despite making lots of grammatical error. Haha.
