The better half

I had a long talk with Yus just now. We talk on many things, mainly on her wedding prep. But there’s one thing that I want to share with you all. It’s about the one whom we chose to be our better half.

Yus got high taste so we thought the man of her choice would be someone of high class too. But how wrong we were when she revealed that her future man is only a primary school teacher. Actually she admitted that she also never thought that she would choose this man instead of other high class suitor. What would others think of her? Low class? No taste at all? And by saying this, I'm not on any way reagards that teaching is of low class career ok.

But I told her not to worry. For the man whom we choose actually reflects ourselves. Some people are perceived as gedik, social, huru-hara, active, high class and all. And we always thought their other half would be of the same traits too. But when they choose to settled down, the choice is somewhat very different; sometimes.

Actually their chosen ones reflect their inner self. That’s why we would see some nerdy-down-to-earth-ustaz-wannabe get hooked with some hot chicks (if you know what I mean) and vice versa. Ok for a case study, let’s look at Fara case. You know Fara? She’s the one who sang ‘Bagaikan Puteri” song. Fara was a nightclub singer. Her dance; wow! And her dressing; sexy ok. When she announced that she’s settling down with her now-hubby, I was like hmmm this pious looking man taste is somewhat differ from his look. But look at Fara now. She’s changed into a better person. She wear tudung (I mean no harm towards those who’s not wearing it ok) and even joined the marhaban activities ok.

Well maybe deep in her, she’s aware that what she did is something not really on a good track but she didn’t have the strength to change any of it. And she found it (the strength) in him. And same goes with us. Deep in our heart, we always want to be a better person. But sometimes we ourselves don’t have the strength and we needs some support. This strength and support would normally come in the form of our better half. The term of better half itself explain everything.

We can never stop people from being judgmental. And we can never satisfy everyone. We can only pray to God for His blessing on everything that we do. And pray we do to ensure we’re on the right track. Right?. And I pray that whoever my better half would be, he can provide me the strength and support for me to be a better person too. Amen.
