I got this question via my formspring some time last week. I didn't quickly reply it. Because I thought, I haven't really share with you how I met my husband. It was really, to me, one of those fairy tales story that I thought only exist in the story book or tv. I've told a few of my friends of how I met my husband, they were all like... "waahh.. it's like one of those hopeless romantic movie!" hahaha..! Actually I can't believe it either! Oh well, anyway, off with the story. eh korang nak tahu tak? Kalau tak mau, sila skip this entry :P
Okay, it all started when I 1st start working at where I am now. That was almost 3 years ago. Back in 2007. When I 1st got interviewed, I requested to be sent to KL as I think there more challenge and wanna try different environment other than Penang (perasan padahal baru nak start keje kan :P) But my Boss insist I stay in Penang and work with him so I agreed.
FYI, I just got off a very bad relationship when I started working. I was depressed and heartbroken. But being offered a job at one of the most well establish firm, has really saved me. I rented a very small room for RM180 per month before I find my own apartment here in Penang. Most of my friends were all in KL and imagine how do I cope with life after studies ALONE! It was painful I have to admit. But life goes on.
Anyway,If you ask me do I believe in love at first sight, my answer is NO. It has to be a few sights before I really fell in love :P
My husband, who then was known as Zul, he just being transferred from KL to Penang on that very year. So he is the new face we've been seeing in the building. My colleague first noticed him as he often walked pass our front door (since our office is in the way to the toilet). And you know la, mula la they were like "hey..ada new guy.. good looking... bla bla bla bla".. but I just ignored (konon tak berminat lah kann). Then I saw him at the cafe eating alone (he always does) and sitting right in front of the cafe entrance. So you will notice him when you entered the door. You won't miss it!
So as the day passed, we keep bumping each other at the cafe but never spoken. Just *ehem* stared at each other :P Until one day, I was about to go back to my office through the staircase, suddenly he was right behind me. And it is really awkward when a guy behind your back so I turned around and said my 1st few words to him
" are you new here? Tak pernah nampak pon?"
hehehe.. okay so I yang 1st tegor dia. Tak salah kan? :P
{zaman phak thor}
I remember it was sometime in November 2007, and few months later, he said he wanted to meet my parents, and I was like, hah? what for?? (lagi mau tanya kan) and we got engaged on February 2008. That was like 3-4 months after we've known each other.
When I told my girls about the news, they were all quite surprise with my decision. They keep asking am I sure about this. I was not. But I know, he is the one. How do I know? Well, I just knew :)
{engagement}
You know during the time we were being engaged, we have been tested with a lot of things and there are moments when I had doubt about the relationship. But I guess, it is fated and Allah had made plans for both of us.
We got married 6 months after our engagement, which was in August 2008. And alhamdulillah, 3 years later, we are now blessed with 1 kid and 1 on its way :)
{solemnization}
Looking at the time line from the day we've met and got married, it didn't take us long to know each other and decided to get married :)
Kesimpulan nyer adik-adik, jangan main-main bercinta kat sekolah. Belajar dulu. Dah kerja nanti insyallah jumpa orang baik-baik that can take care of you and your family. :) Pesanan dari kak Ida yer...
So I guess that's it, I hope I have answer your question in this special entry made for you :) Enjoy
