A conversation between me and my mummy.
It was all about tiying the knot.
Nadia: I want to ask you...
Mummy: What?
Nadia: Maybe, around the end of next year, if a guy brings his family here and ask for your daughters hand in marriage, will you accept it?
Mummy: Alhamdulillah! Can.
Nadia: (laughs) Really?! (pause) Well, considering that he is financially strong, older than me, has a stable ambition...
Mummy: Do you have a specific person in mind?
Nadia: Hmmm...I am just asking...
There was a long pause.
Mummy: Well, it will be good also because I can get to see my cucu soon, Insya'Allah. (laughs)
[Well, considering that my mother is already 53 years old and me being the eldest, and my other siblings are still so young. My mother, Allah knows what... I can't afford to let her miss the fun.]
Nadia: Ya rabbi! (laughs)
Mummy: (talking to my brother) You will get to have a big brother and have a niece or nephew. But...it will be sad also because your kakak will have to leave us. Then, YOU will be the BIG~ brother in the house! (kiddingly irritating my brother)
Nadia: (laughs) Well, Insaya-Allah, I was thinking of an early marriage. There is really nothing wrong in that right?
Mummy: No, but just find the right person. Someone who will insya'Allah lead you to paradise...
Nadia: Yea. I know. It is hard to find that ONE. Hmmm...but I guess he is right in front of me now.
Mummy: Ouh really...don't tell me is that...
Nadia: Hmm...
___________________________________________________________________
He didn't make the move before.
So now he regrets it.
But I really wonder why must he still bother when he...
is already married?
He make those tickles and
the closeness between him and her
are just so BIG question mark that she can never understand.
Maybe it is yet to understand.
But he should not be doing that right?
He loves her.
Not the other her.
Oh Yusuf...why can't you just appear before me and
intimidate me with your gorgeous looks instead.
Will you?
(i wonder)
Oh Mummy,
ikaw lang ang laging iniisip ko...
