I've been away from the husband for a while during the last Ramadhan. 2-3 weeks is long enough. So, when I was on board, coming home, where my husband is, it's excited enough!
Felt like I'm coming home! I'm coming home! Tell the world, I'm coming home! Okayy. Tak lah se-excited gitu. Tapi I just so relieved I can be next to my partner again. Dah la bulan puasa, dalam flight pulak pasang lagu Raya. Wahhh. Hebattttttt airplane kaler kuning. Even side dishes dok berape nak kick sangat and karpet tercabut-cabut, tapi sebab ada lagu Raya, airplane kuning rocks! Haha.
Even when I'm coming home to the my own country pun dok excited gini if my partner wasn't with me. Mungkin sebab my husband is my 'Syurga' now. So, kita harus ikut ke mana sahaja 'Syurga' tu melangkah.*
For women, their husbands will be the new Heaven for them. Syurga di bawah tapak kaki suami. And for husbands, their mothers will always be their Heaven. Syurga di bawah tapak kaki emak. It's a nice cycle indeed.
Contoh.
Anak lelaki kahwin. Every single year Raya nak balik rumah dia sokmo. Tak adanya nak balik rumah sebelah wife on the first day. Reason. Sebab his mother asked him to. Dah mother minta, and sebab tu adalah 'Syurga', ikut lah jugak. Tapi. His father is his mother's husband. Andai kata his father said to his mother, suruh anak lelaki tu balik raya side isteri dulu, his mother kena ikut and tell her son. Complicated? Sounds je. Realiti nya tidak.
Tapi sebab most of fathers, tak sanggup nak suruh wives masing-masing tolak-ansur, tak sanggup nak tengok wives muncung-muncung sebab anak tak balik raya, or wives extra sedih, boleh bikin another drama for Raya, tu yang kebanyakan fathers won't say to their wives, 'Biarlah anak tu balik raya rumah mentua. Menantu kita pun nak raya rumah mak kandung dia jugak Raya pertama'.
Tapi, kita kan memang suka drama-drama air mata, scene sedih-sedih ni, so, kita biar je all those dramas. Biar mencengkam jiwa. Orang kata, makan dalam. Haha.
I?
Oh. I memang will always be with my husband.*
Dah kata pun follow syurga. Tu yang bila he mentioned nak kena outstation, laju-laju I kata nak ikut. Haha. Memanggggg! Outstation jauh-jauh memang nak ikut saje. Cer outstation gi aMirika ke, factory visit kat negara sendiri or negara jiran, memang tak ikut dah. Or, if nak ikut tapi tak dapat, memang tak ralat sangat. Tapi kali ni, if tak dapat ikut, ralat sungguh lah! Jangan kata I je nak ikut. Segala macam orang nak ikut, even architect yang takde kena-mengena dengan visit pun. Haha. Tapi, considering tiket belum beli, and kemungkinan rega adalah boleh beli bag dua tiga kotak, mungkin kirim salam je lah.. Iskk iskk iskkkk.
Oh. If orang tanya I, how's your raya? Jauh. I always felt okay. Sebab I've my own family now. My syurga is next to me. Nothing to worry about. If tanya the husband, dia mungkin cakap, ' tak kisah', or 'hmmmm', or 'iye lah tu'. Memang lah. Sebab I bukan his 'syurga'. His mother 'syurga' dia. So, if he felt left out bila raya jauh from his 'syurga', I memang tak hairan lah. Unless like me. Haaaa.. Inilah my 'syurga'. Inilah my husband. My own family. And the kecik memang follow I, sebab I'm his 'syurga'. Heehee. Kan? Kan?
Raya with my small family is better than muncung-muncung or sedih during the first day of Raya. Or. The whole Raya month. Sebab satu yang paling bagus, tak payah nak gaduh, risau, nak balik rumah mana dulu. Eh. Balik kampung siapa for the first day of Raya can be makan hati you know!
