89. marriage life

We have only been married for 49 days so far and marriage life has been beautiful.

The number one question that people ask (and hint) is regarding:
When are you gonna have kids?

Oh my God, if I could barf when people ask about this.

Sure, we want to have kids! I love kids and always envisioned I would be a mom one day.

If we were confirmed having kids, I'd say "Alhamdulillah", thank you Allah for rezeki.

But pleeeeeaaaaaseeeee in Malay custom it's very "pantang" (taboo) to ask about these things.

Especially since we've been married for 49 days and even if we got "rezeki" on the first day, we should not talk about these things until three/four months because it's very "bad luck" to talk about these things.

Our rezeki is at His mercy and compassion.

Don't worry, if there are any good tidings we will let Facebook the world know,

88. the first prayer

After our solemnization, and photo ops and portraiture and what not, me and my husband finally settled into our bridal room. It was silence. Peaceful. It was around 8.30 pm, right after isyak prayers. The calm after the storm.

Right there and then, I rolled out the sejadah (prayer mat) he had given to me as one of the hantaran gifts, along with a telekung (garment women wear whilst praying). Instinctively, we decided to pray together. Solat jemaah.

The first prayer sealed the bond of husband and wife perfectly together. I knew the speed of my husband's prayer, his favourite surahs to read whilst he prayed, the angle of where he bent his head. It was a sweet, intimate moment, post prayer, when I kissed and salam-ed his hand.

For any bride-to-be's, I strongly suggest for you to pray with your husband. It is a sweet, tender moment you will remember forever.

87. i am a puan!

Alhamdulillah, our akad nikah and bersanding has passed! My husband managed to lafaz the akad once. Am so proud of him :) Hope to chronicle our journey as husband and wife from now on.
