Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
-You Are Not Alone, Micheal Jackson
Proud of myself. I am not alone. God guides me all the way. Thanks God for taking a good care of me.
Back from Alor Star yesterday evening, I had chit-chat with maktok(my grandmother). Pakchaq (my uncle) told her a story of a girl in our kampong (village) who ran away from house and got married in Thailand. Unbelievable especially when you know who's the girl's family.
Actually, the girl's family and my family are related somehow but not that close. Their family was respected by all the villagers because they are religious people. I can tell you that even I never speak to them. The men will wear the ketayap (white hat) on their head, the women complete in their baju kurung, tudung labuh (head cover), socks and few of them wear niqab (face veil). Since early in their age, they had studied Islam seriously from the religious school here.
I never expect people like them will do such things. Maktok told me that the boy's parent already met the girl's parent regarding the marriage but was rejected by the girl's family. It was because the girl is still in her first year studies at UIA (International Islamic University Malaysia) and the boy who just finished his studies in Egypt not yet possess any works. How could both of the boy and girl dare to shame their parents that way after receiving good Islamic studies?
I don't know, dude. People said, don't judge a book from its cover but I still do. Love is not everything. For me, no matter how deep is your love to someone, you can't do something against the religion and your family’s will because your happiness comes with their blessing. I believe in that.
