mother in law

creepy, no? 

aha.. to those who's about to embark marriage, you must be worried sick what sane being your mother in law (MIL) will be as a person. you'll then scratch your head thinking of what to wear to meet MIL for the first time, look into the mirror several times and went saying "mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest amongst all?" aha, you'll also find the clock ticks super quick.

i remember my time when boyfriend (now husband) exclaimed his offer to come over to his place for meeting the parents. meeting the parents you allll! boyfriend once told me, he'll never take any single women in life to home, except for the BECOMING WIFE. So, there i was, perplexed shut. i found out the heart beat losses it's rhythm. but at the same time, i'm in cloud above 9 :p weeee. so high.

meet the parents. i savor in glee and put on my sweetest smile. (during the FAT-much much less days)

Lucky for me, I have people I love in my life who keep reminding me on things. On my early twenty years (now late twenty sudah), abah went knock knock early morning, "kak long, dah sembahyang subuh? dah lewat ni" (i opened my eye mumbling uhh ok and quickly swan in the duvet again, duhhh). And it was just yesterday mom ring me up "... and before that, you know kan the book 'Doctor in the House' released? go get one copy for your reading. You read and you'll learn".. yeah, they have always been the pillars in my life. (the husband tooo of course!)

I always believe that you deserve who you end up with; the good will be with the good, and vice versa.

my MIL is one beautiful and very very very understanding! (yes, i had to put it that way cause she's sooo is!). and i am one lucky person on earth to earned such. i thank Allah. One had always say, whenever we are married, we must always remember that we are "married" to the family too. Treat his family like our own family.

whenever we spent rows of nights at the in law's place, I'm all void from cooking. She does it all. She even prepare breakfast for us. She claims, taking care of a Adam is the prime i'm abide to at this point.  Adam needed me most.(Adam roam for like every seconds!) Even if Adam's asleep, she make me go to sleep too. All well, i received an overwhelming love from her. And i feel it.

She bought me stuffs too. (nooooo, i dun't beg for one) Be it apparel, foods (good one! especially whenever she travels), books, and loads of if i were to list down. Ohh I even got her baju hand down to me (i have a sister in law thou)

"Umi dah nak pencen, tak sesuai dah nak pakai baju-baju macam ni. tu yang Umi bagi kat hafiza. sayang kalau umi nak buang. Kalau Hafiza rasa sesuai dengan Hafiza, pakai lah"

I nodded sheepishly. (immediately take all the baju to hang em in my wardrobe, so she don't have second thought)

Or sometimes, when i'm back late from work,  with the fatigue looking face, she'll goes,

"Umi dah masak air panas tu.. Hafiza pergi la buat air panas untuk hafiza ngan awwar, bagi hilang letih.."

Ohh, tender love. The love beyond canvas art. If i were to jot down the goods she made, it'll be 365 days of writing. So, i'll keep short. Such a dependable source of comfort.

see, she even held my hand firm! afraid i might get lost in the Holy Land.

to Umi, i might not say this LOUD and often, but deep inside i'm thanking Allah for having you. you're GREAT and INSPIRING.

 and i love you so much.

(Ohh thank you for letting me marry your son yahh:p)

Happy Weekend everyone!
