Just listening...

Couple of days back someone shared with me something amazing. Something that I used to do but have forgotten about it. It was a wonderful and beautiful experience and I for one would look forward to it again...

What was it you may ask...

Let me share.

Before anything, I would like to mention that I am now with someone who is truly wonderful and amazing. She is all that I ask and more. She makes me laugh uncontrollably and she puts me to sleep with her beautiful voice. She gives me excitement when she looks at me. She makes me feel sure and strong by her touch and her smile...penetrates my heart and makes me into a pile of mush (good mush that is...).

Yeah...she's my girlfriend/future wife and the spark of my life. She is Irina Hariati. Even just by saying her name makes me smile. Such a beautiful name belonging to someone so perfect...

i thank Allah the Almighty in putting her in my life.

A few days ago I walked her back to her place. We both work at the same university and she lives close by. So we walked (something that I haven't done for a looooong time...) we panted...hahaha...but we laughed...we smiled and kept talking...until we got near her place she took me by the arm and pulled me to a flight of stairs...

"Let's have a seat" she said and we did. She mentions that sometimes she sits here and listens. All I could see at that moment was how beautiful she was amidst the soothing shine of the evening light...

"Close your eyes and listen" how soft her voice was that I instantly did it with no hesitation...

And something amazing happened...

A soothing breeze flowed passed us...and then the rustling of leaves...then...

It was as though they were singing...a tune that you can't describe but made you feel warm and think about Allah the Almighty. How His beauty encompasses everything around us and how magnificent His creations are.

I sat there with Irin next to me. She wrapped her arms around mine and I could sense that she felt the same way. So we both had our eyes closed and sat there.

Doing nothing. Just listening...

I opened my eyes and looked at her. She still had her eyes closed. And my heart felt so much love coming from this person. She was not just in love with me, she was in love with all that He has created. The beauty that she sees surpasses those of normal eyesight and her understanding of it makes it even more amazing...She is amazing. And again I thank God for having her come into my life.

We talked. And I told her of my stories. I told her that I have forgotten to just sometimes sit back and just enjoy life and its surroundings. I was so caught up in life that I had totally forgotten about enjoying the simpler things in life.

She kept looking at me and she smiled. How her smile melts me everytime...

And as always, time is not ours to control as it became apparent it was getting late. I took her hand and walked her back to her apartment and all the while smiling.

Irina Hariati...the spark of my life, you have shared with me something so beautiful, and have reminded me that there is more to life than what we see...I thank you.

I will always remember that day and I will not forget...

And I am deeply and madly in love with you...
