Such an early morning entry.... Hehe.... Had just eaten my sahur and after this I will do my subuh prayers. Wanna share about my day yesterday....
Yesterday was the first day of the fasting month. Had met Dearie at noon and we went to Geylang. The week before, at Geylang, I saw a nice baju kurung which I had hoped to buy for Hari Raya this year. It was a nice shade of purple. So I thought I wanna show it to Dearie to ask for his opinion. Dearie did not really like it, because when Dearie checked out the outfit, he noticed that all the sequins were loosely sewn to the outfit. I always fail to notice such things, so off we went in search of a baju kurung for me. Hehe....
At Joo Chiat Complex, I saw it. Even Dearie agreed, it was truly very nice. But because it washanging on display on the wall of the shop, we went inside the shop to ask about it. The price....? $128.... I was like 'Aaaaah?' Sooooo the expensive, I was heartbroken. Dearie said it was a normal price for outfits like that, because the material is of very good quality. Dearie suggested I wait til next week I get my pay then we go again and buy, but I replied..... "Even if I get my pay, I still can't afford something that expensive, even if you said it is normal price range. Don't forget I have my loans to pay off, etc..." I guess I must have started to think of my problem that a tap inside has turned itself, and the dam in my eyes must have opened, because I felt tears collecting in my eyes. Knowing its the fasting month, I controlled myself not to cry, and simply said to Dearie, "Come on, let's go, we just go somewhere else". However, Dearie had other plans for me. Dearie basically pulled me inside the shop, and asked 1 of the staff there to give me the outfit to try. So I did try, although in my heart, I was wondering how was I gonna afford something of that price. My heart dropped when I looked at myself in the mirror, the outfit was truly nice. But I knew I'd have to tell Dearie we must find a shop somewhere else where I can afford. But Dearie avoided that statement, and asked me instead is the 'S' size still too big for me. Before I could answer him, the staff came and said that she'd let me try the 'XS' size. So off I went again to the fitting room, and yes indeed, the 'XS' sized outfit fits me best, and boy, never had I put on a baju kurung that elegent in my whole life. I went out of the fitting room to show Dearie, and the look that Dearie gave me, was obvious, it is very nice, and Dearie commented, "Girl, cantik. You look like a princess." After commenting, I told Dearie again that I just can't afford it, and how I emphasized on the word can't. However, just after I spoke that....
Dearie: Takpe, I'll pay for you girl. Hari Raya gift. OK?
Me : Tak nak.... Mahal sangat... Later I tak pay you back how?
Dearie: It's ok. I pay for you ok? If you want, you just pay me back slowly, and just pay back how much you
can afford. I tak paksa you pay also, so I leave it up to you. But now, I buy for you.
Me : *blushes* Thank you Dear.....
Deep in my heart, Alhamdulillah... rezeki... Of course, I am intent on paying Dearie back, and I told Dearie that I'll pay him back $50 first after Hari Raya. Dearie, being kind as always, said to me, the important thing is that I must make sure that I really can afford it, if not, but if I still insist on paying back, just pay back in smaller amounts.... Alhamdulillah....
Now, I fast forward a bit. After breaking fast at home, around 745pm when I had just finished my prayers, Dearie sent me a sms. "Can I come over after I bathe? We solat together. Can?" My reply.... "Of course can! See you soon!!" So soon after that around 25 minutes later, Dearie arrived, and we got ready to solat together. We solat isyak and terawih together.... In my heart, I am truly the luckiest girl to have guy like my Dearie.... Although there is still the critical problem of Dearie's parents not accepting me yet, *sad*.... I put all that aside....
Oh look at the time! Gotta go now. Toodles.... SELAMAT BERPUASA TO ALL MUSLIMS OUT THERE!!
