Yumna:
After some months:
*******************
After our arrival in Malaysia a few hours ago, Ahad recommended that we first spend the night sleeping and then, insha'Allah, go sightseeing the following day.

Although Ahad had gone to pray Asr namaz (prayer at around 4.30 pm) in the nearby mosque, I first made the decision to call Ahad's father and inquire about his health. He assured me that I should stay indoors for my own safety.

Thank goodness, he was at my side the entire way and did not feel any stress.

Although he received a few calls from the office, he managed, and his father promised to take care of the rest from home.

He had asked me where I wanted to stay first, but I had not realized it was my first time in Malaysia. He had told me during our flight that he had come for a business meeting, so I did not know. Later, he suggested that we stay in Kuala Lumpur, which is among the best places to stay in Malaysia.

Sometimes I still think about his hurtful remarks and the night he left me for the wedding, even though he later begged for my forgiveness.

Everyone is deserving of another chance.

We are at the Concorde Hotel, and as I was finishing up the unpacking of our nightgowns for the two of us, I noticed the amazing view from the balcony. Thank God, our hotel was very spacious. As I opened the curtains, I noticed that there were soft lights reflecting on the pool's water and the area where flat chairs were placed for relaxation. I could not help but stare at this breathtaking sight.

There is no way I would swim at night!

I heard him say, "I am back," and as soon as I did, an arm appeared around my waist and drew me in.

I said in a hushed voice, "You scared me," but he simply smiled.

"Have you prayed Asr?"He asked me which we always do remind eachother of prayers.

Remind each other of your faith.

"Yes, immediately after you departed, I prayed and chose to take in this breathtaking view," I informed him. I was overjoyed that we had some alone time at last.

Did someone not want to accompany me, if I am not mistaken?He asked as he turned me around, and I knelt down to tell him that his nightgown was prepared.

"Someone is shy?"He asked and lifted my chin, but I turned away.

I just nodded and took some cash out of my wallet. "I have ordered dinner for us. For the time being, we can go out and take stroll jist near by places and have some bitings," he said.

"Please, Yumna, you do not need money. I am your husband, and it is my responsibility to take care of you, love you, and pay for everything."I just stared at him, thinking, "Allah, is this guy for real?"

I used to ask Allah to send me someone, because He is the one who knows best.

"Please let us share the money. How will I use my money?"He is too stubborn to listen to me when I ask him, I know.

"No means no and no more arguments," he said as he took off his jacket. I neatly tied my headscarf and glanced in the mirror to see him standing behind me.

He was so close to me that he said, "Now it is perfect."

I tried to push him away, but he did not even budge; in fact, he got closer, so I had to back away. "Ahad move we will get late," I said.

Effort of going to gym and working out.

I tried to say something to Ahad, but he cut me off.

"Yes, say."

He agreed when I told him, "You know we have to go because it will soon be maghrib and we need to get to the mosque quickly."

"But we are not finished," he said. I just looked down and realized I would turned a bright tomato color.

We were walking side by side and I thanked Allah for sending Ahad as my life partner. Although we have issues and have a long way to go, we will try our best.

He smiled back at me when I looked at him.

Thank God, he has smiled a lot since we arrived.

As I was not the biggest fan of food and preferred dessert, we went to a Namoo Dessert Korean Cafe. Ahad ordered tacos along with a few other of their specialty dishes and desserts.

Everything looked so delicious, and the day was going well.

"Have I mentioned how stunning you are?"I felt uneasy as he asked me while grabbing his chair and getting closer, our hands nearly touching.

"Are your hands cold?"He asked me I can only say that I am not used to guys touching me, but since he is mine, how can I justify it?All of this is new to me.

Every day, I believe my love for him grows.

His behavior respects me and serves as a reminder to pray.

I told him, placing my hands on his jacket arm, "Nothing, just nervous," and he simply hugged me back.

I considered it to be one of my best days ever.

I told him, "Thank you Ahad for everything," and he just nodded, saying, "This is just getting started." I just looked at him once more because, well, he is my husband, and we have always had a smile on our faces.

I want to say those three magic words to him, but what if he freaks out and says he does not love me or does not feel something?or is it too soon to inform him?
*********

Pray for someone whose heart is devoted to Allah when you wish to marry them.

Love someone for Allah's sake, and Allah will ensure that it endures forever.

For the love of Allah, end a relationship that is haram or part from someone, and Allah will provide you a better person, Insha'Allah.
