OUR LOVE STORY

HI! THIS IS ABOUT OUR LOVE STORY BETWEEN AQIF (ME) AND MY WIFE, HASRAYUNI.

HOW DID WE MEET?

I FIRST MET HASRA ON MY WAY HOME. I STILL REMEMBER THAT DAY AS IF IT WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS JUST GETTING OUT OF THE CLINIC IN MY WHEELCHAIR WHERE MY LEG WAS SEMI-PERMANENTLY INJURED. WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT, THE RAIN SUDDENLY POUR HEAVILY. I ALMOST CURSED OUT LOUD BECAUSE I DIDN'T BRING ANY UMBRELLAS WITH ME.

AS I SAT IN MY WHEELCHAIR, SIGHING OVER MY FATE, AN UMBRELLA WAS SUDDENLY PUT OVER MY HEAD, I LOOKED UP AND SAW A WOMAN. SHE SMILED AND ASKED, "DO YOU NEED HELP SIR?". I WAS MOMENTARILY TAKEN ABACK. I WHISPER TO MYSELF "WHO IS THIS PERSON AND WHY IS SHE DOING THIS?".

AS IF SHE COULD READ MY MIND, SHE ADDED " I WAS ALSO GETTING OUT OF THE CLINIC AND I SAW YOU HERE, LOOKING LIKE IF YOU NEED SOMEONE WITH YOU. SO HERE I AM" SHE AGAIN SMILED.

I SMILED BACK, LONG OVERDUE IF I SAY SO MYSELF "HELLO MISS, ACTUALLY I DIDN'T BRING ANY UMBRELLA WITH ME. SO IT'S QUITE HARD FOR ME TO MOVE IN THIS WEATHER. ESPECIALLY IN MY CONDITION". I REPLIED TO HER. A NEGATIVE THOUGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY IN MY HEAD ABOUT MY INJURED LEG " WHAT A PAIN" I THOUGHT BITTERLY TO MYSELF.

"WELL, I HAVE ONE, AND I ALWAYS HAVE A KNACK FOR SHARING THINGS. THOUGH YOU SAID, IT'S QUITE HARD TO MOVE AROUND PLACES WITH THIS WEATHER. WOULD YOU MIND IF WE STAY AT THE RESTAURANT OVER THERE FOR A WHILE AS WERE WAITING FOR THE RAIN TO CALM DOWN? BESIDES, I DON'T THINK THE TRAIN WILL BE DEPARTING ANY TIME SOON SO I WOULDN'T BE LATE IF I GRABBED MYSELF A CUP OF WARM COFFEE. I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE TAKING THE TRAIN TOO?".

I'M INDEED TAKING THE TRAIN. SO I NODDED MY HEAD. SHE GAVE ME A GRIN AND IMMEDIATELY THRUST THE UMBRELLA INTO MY HANDS. " HOLD THE UMBRELLA, AND I'LL PUSH YOUR WHEELCHAIR" I GAVE HER A SMALL SMILE. FEELING QUITE AMUSED, SOMETHING I HAVEN'T FELT SINCE THE ACCIDENT. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE RESTAURANT, WE DRIED OURSELF AND GRABBED SOME WARM DRINKS. WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT OURSELVES EVEN UNTIL WE WERE ON THE TRAIN. HASRAYUNI WAS HER NAME. AS I ARRIVED AT MY STATION, I'M FEELING A BIT DOWN. LIKE SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO BE MISSED. IS IT HER? "NAH, I DON'T THINK SO" I CONVINCED MYSELF. I GAVE HER A WAVE AND WATCHED HER SMILING AND WAVING BACK ENTHUSIASTICALLY AT ME.

I THINK ABOUT HER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IT FEEL ALMOST A HANDFUL TO HAVE THIS FEELING. SO, I PUSHED HER TO THE BACK OF MY HEAD. "I'LL NEVER MEET THAT LADY AGAIN. AT LEAST NOT IN A MILLION YEARS".

WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT MILLION YEARS PASSED SOONER THAN I EXPECTED? I SAW HER AGAIN, IN THE CLINIC, WITH MY PHYSIOTHERAPIST.

HOW DO WE FALL IN LOVE?

AQIF'S POV

TURNS OUT, THAT HASRA IS ASSIGNED AS MY NURSE FOR ALL OF MY THERAPY SESSIONS. WELL, IT'S NICE. IT IS JUST A THERAPY.

SHE ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME WHEN I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, SHE ALWAYS PUSHED MY SPIRIT UP UNTIL I FEEL LIKE I COULD CARRY THE WORLD BY MYSELF. SHE'S SO KIND AND GENEROUS. IS ALWAYS THERE, WITH ME, FOR ME. MADE ME FEEL VERY UPLIFTED. HOW COULD I NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH HER?

I FALL IN LOVE WITH HER BECAUSE OF HER ENCOURAGING NATURE AND KINDNESS.

HASRA'S POV

DANG, AQIF IS MY SENIOR PATIENT. THAT'S GOOD. WE'LL BE SEEING EACH OTHER OFTEN THEN!

AQIF IS SO ATTRACTIVE. NOT ONLY ON THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. IT'S JUST, THAT HE'S SO PATIENT. SO COMMITTED. ALWAYS DOING HIS BEST. HE'S SO COOL! I LOVE BEING WITH HIM. HE MAKES ME FEEL BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH. HOW COULD I NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT?

I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM BECAUSE OF HIS COMMITMENT.

HOW DID HE PROPOSE

AQIF'S DOCTOR SAID THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF HIS RECOVERY IS VERY LOW. THEREFORE, HE BECAME DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET WITH HIMSELF. HOWEVER, WITH HASRA THERE, DOING HER MUST CHEER HIM, AND HE BECAME MORE MOTIVATED TO GAIN HIS HEALTH BACK. SOON, HIS HEALTH IMPROVED LIKE HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HASRA.

ONE PARTICULAR DAY, HIS DOCTOR WANTED TO TALK WITH HIM. TURNS OUT, HIS LEG RECOVERY PERCENTAGES HAVE INCREASED! AQIF FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. NOW, HE ONLY NEEDED TO DO ONE THING, WHICH IS PROPOSING TO HASRA.

HE PLANNED THE PROPOSAL ON THE BEACH. HE TOOK HASRA TO THE BEACH FOR A WALK. WHILE HASRA WAS PUSHING HIS WHEELCHAIR, AQIF REQUESTED FOR THEM TO STOP FOR A WHILE. " CAN YOU STAND IN FRONT OF ME?" AQIF ASKED OF HASRA. SO, HASRA STOOD IN FRONT OF AQIF. "THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU," SAID AQIF TO HASRA. AQIF TRIED TO GET UP FROM THE WHEELCHAIR AND STAND IN FRONT OF HASRA. HASRA WAS SO SURPRISED AND FELT HAPPY BEYOND WORDS. AT THE SAME TIME, AQIF TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PROPOSE HASRA. SO WITHOUT WASTING TIME, AQIF KNEELS AND PROPOSES TO HASRA AND ASKS HASRA "I FOUND A REASON FOR MY SMILE, THE DAY I FOUND YOU. WILL YOU LET ME BE THE REASON FOR YOUR SMILE? WILL YOU MARRY ME, HASRA?". SHE SAID " YES" VERY HAPPILY.

Our Wedding <3

Our wedding was simple. It just like the Malay tradition. Although, we added some fantasy twist to it. We added a bit of Snow White from Disney theme to our wedding. It was attended by close friends and family. It was just a small wedding. My younger siblings have dwarfs costume when they bring the gifts for the bride.

The receptions was held on my parents front yard. The scenery and the mood fits perfectly with the theme.

Our children

After 3 years of marriage, we finally became parents. The twins are so lovely and sweet.

Their name is Afiq and Ariq

Here is some pictures of them !!!

This is our house

We bought this house in our 2nd year of marriage. We wanted to collect enough money first before we move from our apartment. Finally, we are able to bought it because a friend helped us !!
