The Day

Dear Mas Galby,
The day has finally come.

The first time we bumped into each other, I easily knew that we were really different. We came from a whole different world.
But you were an unexpected surprise.
You showed me beautiful things.

Our meaningful friendship finally led us to that moment: You asked me to marry you.
On that night, the time froze. Your strong eyes were softer but twice as sure.
Then you met my parents soon after.
Brave soul,
the way you stole my heart was unspeakable.
Indeed Allah has saved me through your existence.

Now that we’re together would you please,
grow old with me?
The years shall make our bones weak, but inshaaAllah, the love shall get us through whatever tomorrow brings.

So, buckle up, G. The journey has just started.

Yours,
Cindy
