Post-Wedding

Hello....Salam and hyenas...ahahks.

Its now 3 weeks after my wedding. We're still feeling the post-wedding feeling. The posters are still in the house, the leftover cards are still there, the leftover chocolates are still there. Sometimes you can still see tiny shreds of bunga rampai on the floor by the wall. The dried flowers are not all gone yet. Its not really over yet. The inai on my nails is still red (ok, not red.....orange maybe. it was red 3 weeks ago tho). The wedding gives great memories to me. It was stressful preparing for it. Malay wedding is always extra-stressful. But now, all the stress i experienced has become sweet memories. All the kalut ribut makes me smile now. And also my friends around me who was excited as well...hehe. My office-mates, my school friends, my uni friends...it was great pleasure seeing your faces on those days.

Malam sebelum akad-nikah tu, kak ipar saya (orang utara, seGeng la dgn Din tu) - Kak Ija merangkap ketua department inai pada malam itu....dan adik saya si Fazie tu tolong letakkan inai kat tangan saya. Inai tu henna la kan. Inai tu dapat mana? Ada pokok inai rupanya mak saya tanam kat luar tu. Pelik plak....mak aku memang dah plan nak pakai ke, gi tanam pokok tu awal-awal? Anyway, saya pun amik la daun, tumbuk-tumbuk. Dan malam itu bila sampai masanya untuk dipakai;

Kak Ija: ain, awat pi tumbuk lagu ni?
Me: apsal? ain tumbuk cemana?
Kak Ija: mana bleh pakai lagu ni...
Me: awat? (dan-dan tiba2 bertukar cakap utara)
Kak Ija: ain kena tumbuk haluih-haluih. sampai dia jadi cam paste. baru bleh lekat kat tangan. kalu dia hancoq lagu ni mana bleh lekat kat tangan ni.
Me: (uh oh, akad esok....bile lagi aku nak pakai inai kalau tak malam ni) alamak, bih tu cemana?
Kak Ija: takpa, kita terai dulu hak ni...

So, there i was. Sitting there stiff. With my fingers and toes berlumuran daun inai yang tidak hancur lumat. After almost 3 hours, "Adeh, sakit belakang, nak baring sket". Right on that damn moment, daun2 inai jatuh berguguran dari jari. Me, being a person who has a very thin patience snapped and say "Thats it. I'm done with this inai. Dah la susah nak lekat. Pastu warna pun tak terang mana". But who to blame but me. Aku yang tumbuk tak hancur. Aku pun tak tau kena tumbuk sampai hancur, serious. At last, we resort to wearing inai from the tube.

Resulting in inai merah menyala like this. Dah dua lapis inai kan. memang merah menyala la. tapi cam over sket kan? Tapi aku suke siot.... hahahha, menyala merah....

Next day, that was Friday, 20/11, the akad-nikah day. It was schedule to be at around 5 pm, after Asar prayer. Uncles and Aunties from Kelantan and around came to be in the event. My sister has arrange fresh beautiful flowers around the house. We heat up aromatherapy in house. The house looks cozy with sweet smell of aromatherapy. My 'groomer' came early to do my make up. It was fun being dolled up and made up. I'll miss all this! As time pass by, my heart beats faster and faster. Tapi sebenarnye aku tak payah nervous. Sebab ini hari Din. Din la yang nervous....pengantin perempuan tunggu je kan...wahahaha. Aku pun berjaya menenangkan hati dan lepak menunggu bakal suami. Tapi risau jugak kot-kot tiba-tiba dia jadi gagap tak pasal-pasal kan. Atau gugup, hyperventilate ke, pastu pengsan kan. Atau berpeluh terlalu banyak sampai air peluh membanjiri muka sampai dia tak boleh bercakap. Atau kena buli dengan tok kadi kaw kaw sampai jadi stress mengamuk tak jadi kawin ke. Maybe i imagine too much....

Masa tu kawan lama saya dari sekolah sampai menemankan saya....Farah dan Khom (thanx man, I love you guys la).

Tiba masanya, pengantin lelaki sampai. Lebih kurang pukul 5 gitu. Perfect timing. He was wearing his white baju melayu dengan sampin songket dan songkok. Aku pakai baju kurung modern putih dengan bertudung litup....haha. Aku dengan kontrol machonya turun tangga pelan-pelan. Diiringi Farrah and Khom and Auntie saya. Padahal selalu aku lompat turun dua anak tangga sekali tu ko tau!....hahaha. Ngok ngek ngok ngek, pot pet pot pet....pastu tok kadi suruh dia istighfar, ucap shahadah, dan selawat. Dia jawab semua dengan tenang, sekali dengan nafas je. Abah saya sendiri yang mengahwinkan Din dan saya.....dan Din jawab lafaz akad sekali sahaja smooth, clean and clear.....cam ubat jerawat gitu.

Right that moment, I'm a wife. Din turn to me and give me a smile that i would never forget, ever. Dengan lafaz nyata itu, dan niat dari hati Din dan kebenaran wali dari Abah saya, secara rasminya saya dah jadik bini dia. That moment, reality hasnt hit me yet....lalalla. And that nite.....jeng jeng jeng hahaha.....he went back to his house and I sleep alone. Cos we gotta get ready for the kenduri pula the next day, Saturday. No rush man, we have our whole life together afterwards. The important event is done. Syukur Alhamdulillah, semua lancar. Timing cantik. Cuaca cantik. Tetamu gembira. Its already near perfect, just as we like it.

And that evening, we had a blast taking photos.

Saya berterima kasih sangat dekat keluarga yang banyak menolong (tolong dengan tenaga, dengan duit.....atau hanye dengan kehadiran masing-masing) dan juga rakan-rakan yang datang. Rakan-rakan lama, dan tak berapa lama dan yg baru pun ada. Rakan-rakan opis, rakan-rakan sekolah RZ, rakan-rakan Uni. You know who you are, susah aku nak sebut nama-nama ni....aku takut betul kot tertinggal nama. Dan rasanya mesti ramai yang datang, tapi tak jumpe aku yang mungkin agak busy hari tu. So, aku tatau la siapa korang, siapa suruh tak jumpe aku.....ekekkee. Thank you, too. Photos will up uploaded into facebook very soon.

Take care all.
