Thank you for coming into my life. I choose you and thank you for choosing me too. No, no, not because we often meet and connected. Not because our life partner is a workmate. Not because we always agree on everything. Not because we have the same opinion or personalities. But because our interests allow us to forge bond based on something much more deeper. I want all of you, be a paragraph in my life's stories I want to be remembered. To see the world on similar lenses.
I remember the moment when we first met at an Iftaar gathering event on the last week of March. The moment we reconnect in the second met at Segoro Gunung on September. It's really a bonding experience. Of course we immediately clicked over our shared profession as a wife, lol. From the little seeds and then blossom. Naturally gravitates toward you for some reasons that I can’t explain. Share things in real life. Even the real profession of our lives looked pretty different :
Mbak Yaya, a lovable lecturer, four years younger than me. Mbak Chekly, a cheerful candidate for head of village, two years younger than me. Mbak Nisa, a bright spark teacher, three years older than me. And me... a little poetristic housewife.
We came from different level of age, but all of you and I both were appropriate
I know for real, it takes a lot of times to built strong bond and not always easy to make friends in adulthood. It's difficult to grow with some people if we're both growing in opposite paths. But I often hear that we will be friends with those whom our souls recognize. And I just want a friend who support me on my relationship with Allah. True friends that love and remind each others of Allah SWT.

Alhamdulillah ! We achieved the seemingly unachievable. We've learned how to stay close. Trying to understand each other's perspective and known on deeper level. Feel joy and comfort in each other's talk. Express our deepest thoughts. Making some plans into action. I see the full effort all of you put in. The kindness that you show me in a warm ways. Set out to meet, look out for each other, to listen and see where it goes in a simple-beautiful ways.
Sometimes, all woman needs is an ear to listen. We did it. But, you know, more than that, I'm grateful our values are aligned : Tawakkul as copying mechanism in friendship. Truly believe that the ones worth keeping around are those who makes us to be a better Muslim and human being. I can find parts of myself and still have fun with you. And the most important thing, it isn't just one-sided thing :)
Maybe... Someday... We're not made for deep conversations. We're making mistakes and heartbreaks. Unawareness or self-centerness at times. But, I always hope we learn from those experience, talk about it well, practice forgiveness and grow as a person.
Ya Allah... Anugerahilah kami hati yang bisa mencintai teman-teman kami hanya karena mengharap keridhaan-Mu {Ibnu Umar}
With you... My girls who I cherish and admire. My girls who loves me for the same reason. My girls who value me for who I am. I love you for the sake of Allah ~
