touching love

having no class today,
i accompanied my grandnenek for check-up.
i was a little moody and today had to test my patience,
there were a lot of waiting.
you know how frustrated it was when you have to wait for so long?
so i had a black face.
i realised why do i have to appear gloomy since i'm already there?
so i try cheering myself up.
it helped a little though.

there was a couple who touched me deeply.
it was an old couple, maybe about their late 60s.
the husband accompanied his sick wife for check-up.
ok lah, they were already old and i doubt the husband has to work.
but then again, the husband followed his wife instead of staying at home comfortably.

i can sensed their love for one another by looking at their actions.

well, they don't held hands but the way the husband look for a seat for his wife and leading her to the seat touches me.

how often did you see that?

i'm not a guy but i can roughly know what reasons guys will give.
the reason that most husbands gave for not accompanying his wife to the doctor are :
1. i have to work/ i have a lot of work to finish up.
2. my wife said i don't need to accompany her.
3. waste my time waiting for the queue number.

ok guys,
if your wife said "you don't need to accompany me because i know you have work to do and i can manage on my own"
surprise her by taking a half day leave and accompany her.
you don't know how much you made her day by doing so.
this is when the phrase "money can't buy happiness" fits in perfectly.

below is quite true for most females.
sometimes, we females don't say straight to the point because we don't want to be a burden to our significant other.
we say one thing but expect the opposite things to happen.
well,
we're complicated beings.

it will be nice to have our significant other to accompany us to the doctor.

for females,
when our partner falls sick,
we prayed for them.
we can't stop worrying about our partner.
we called to check, we tried anything to soothe his mind and make him recover faster, make sure that he has taken his medicine, etc.

i can't say much about the opposite sex because i'm not them.

i hope the partner and i are able to sustain our love as long as we shall live.

two years back,
while the partner and i were still dating,
we happened to see an advertisement about the old man at the coffeeshop being asked by his friends what his secret? it was the zakat advertisement.
and i said "so when you're old, you will be like them, sitting at the coffeeshop, drinking coffee and talking with your friends"
he: "no, i won't. i will be at home spending time with you."
i was surprised by his answer.
firstly, he was so confident by saying that he will be at home with me, as though i'm his wife. in the first place, we are just dating.
secondly, his reply was sweet and touching.

then recently again,
we saw a group of old men sitting around at the coffeeshop, talking away with their friends.
i said again: "so will you be like them when you're old honey?"
he: "no lah, i will be at home spending time with you."
ok. his answer is consistent, it shows something.
haha.

sweetheart,
let us stay in love and be happy in each other arms for eternity.
you're the one that i was born to love.
