Most Beautiful Gift

Assalamualaikum Beautiful...

Well.. Actually, nothing can describe how I feel recently.. As I posted earlier, I had my 25th birthday on January 31st.. and Allah give me the most beautiful, most expected, most wanted gift.. Okay, let start with the beginning of the story..

Me and hubby just move back to Indonesia (Jakarta) this January, after our almost 2 years time lived in Malaysia for my hubby master program. Well, alhamdulillah my hubby has finished his study, and that's why we move back to Indonesia. Yes, we really enjoy our times in Jakarta.. with our family, friends, no stress out because of exam or something like that. Time goes by, and it is my birthday at the end of January.. Unconsciously, I was late.. about 1 week late.. hmmm.. I push myself not too much expectation about this period late, because it happened several times.. But, since my hubby bought us ticket to Surabaya.. and I just want to be sure whether is it okay for me to travel during this late period or not, sooo I decided to have test pack on February 2nd.

I woke up soo early that day, because to have urine be tested, it should be the first urine of the day.. So I woke up and keep dzikr in my heart and keep talkin to myself "okay, pasrahkan pada Allah aja.. kalaupun belum positif ya gapapa.. La hawla wa la kuwata ila billah".. And so I did the test.. I saw one bold stripe appear, but suddenly.. I saw another stripe appear.. but still it was thin line.. hmmm.. my face still flat that time.. and so I wait.. after wait for about 3 minutes, that other stripe more and more clear and bold.. wow! seriously??? that test pack have 2 stripes?? Subhanallah.. I was shaking.. and I ran to my-still-sleeping-hubby.. I woke him up, "kitiiing.. kitiiiing.. look look.. how many stripes do you here??" while he still rubbing his sleepy eyes he answered, "one?" and I insist, "nooo.. put your glasses on and see.. it has two stripes!!" and still, he was rubbing his eyes, yawning.. ahahaha.. it was funny.. and so I get down stairs to see my mom.. and my-sleepy-kucek mata-dad open the door, and I said "Paaakk, take a look at this.. how many stripes did you see??" My dad rubbing his eyes and said, "one.." Oh my God, what's happening to guys in this house siihhh?? Matanya pada siwerrr.. and so I see my mom, in the bathroom while she was having a shower.. "Modeerrr, look look.. my testpack shows 2 stripes.." and my Mom had her eyes covered with shampoo.. zzzzz.. "Hah, gmana teh? ohhh iyaa.. udah 2 yaa??" But my Mom was still a bit hesitate because of those foam on her eyes.. hihihihi.. It was a heboh morning.. And so my Mom and hubby told me to wait until next week re-test and see the doctor.. And I agree..

But, the next day.. I'm curious and do the test again using different testpack.. and alhamdulillah, it still shows 2 stripes.. and so I told my Mom and  Hubby that I wanna see doctor ASAP.. like, right now! hehehe.. and they agreed..

And so we went to the Obgyn, and have my uterus checked up.. Me and hubby was so nervous that time.. The doctor was very serious in checking up and searching for the fetus.. and suddenly he said, "Here you go.. this is your fetus.. still very tiny because your pregnancy still early".. I almost cried to hear that, we were so happy.. holding hands.. Subhanallah.. and the doctor said that my pregnancy was 4 to 5 weeks old.. Alhamdulillah.. Ya Allah.. Allahu akbar.. It was like half dreaming.. Allah give us this precious gift on the perfect time for us.. When we've already moved back and settled down in Jakarta, me and hubby have already finished our study, and alhamdulillah when me and hubby are building our dream house together, and on my birthday.. Subhanallah..

Being pregnant is one phase that I really looking forward right after we were married.. And Allah gave us 1 year to get to know each other better, to prepare ourselves better to be parents.. And when Allah said this is the time, then He gave us what we've waited for.. in our happiest time.. Subhanallah.. Alhamdulillah.. Allahuakbar.. Allah knows the best.. absolutely.. He listen to our prayers, NO DOUBT! and Allah answer it at the best time.. the best situation.. I can't hold my tears while writing this post.. ya Allah, thanks for this most beautiful gift for us.. Me and hubby.. its all because of You ya Allah, Your blessings, Your love, Your kindness.. Hopefully I can undergo this pregnancy with Your blessings and health.. until the due day is come.. Aamiin..

I Have Dreams

"Don't let anyone kills your dreams, not even yourself!"

I'm a girl (woman) with so many dreams.. yes I am.. What I have now. is something that used to be happen in my daydream.. but somehow, Allah let it happen to me in real life.. So since then, I never afraid of dreaming and chasing them.. I believe Allah will help me, will help us.. keep praying and stay humble.. 

Ramadhan Mubarak

Assalamualaikum Beautiful,

Ramadhan has come, subhanallah walhamdulillah.. Nothings more special than being able to meet Ramadhan and drown by its atmosphere.. Tarawih, Saur, Iftar.. these three moments that we've been always waiting during whole year. But you know what? After we dig deeper about the essential of Ramadhan, we may know that Ramadhan month isn't only about those three moments that I mentioned before.. it has deeper meaning.

Ramadhan is the time when we should controlling desires.... Fasting in Ramadan is a part of the broader program that Islam prescribes for human to fulfill their moral and spiritual destiny in this world and in the Hereafter. It is the special worship designed to develop in man the ability to exercise self-restraint and patience for the pleasure of Allah, human's Creator, Lord and Nourisher. Its objective is to give us the power to keep in check our unruly desires and tendencies that make us prone to greed, revenge, anger, provocation and fear; that make us commit various sins, acts of aggression, cruelty and oppression. It seeks to free the human soul and lends it the moral and spiritual strength to promote beauty, harmony, kindness, peace, compassion and justice. (source: http://www.islam101.com/ramadan/sawm_gift.html)

Abu Huraira related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat al-Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven (Bukhari, Muslim).


Subhanallah.. Let's collect as much reward as we can during Ramadhan.. Ramadhan full of barokah.. 


HAPPY FASTING BEAUTIFUL.. :)

Inspiring Story: "Tuk Calon Suamiku"

Assalamualaikum beautiful, 

I would like to share you a story that I've taken from this inspiring and beautiful blog, Mutiara Suamiku. Her postings are so inspiring and strengthen our iman. One of my most favorite postings of her that I would like to share with you here,

WAHAI CALON SUAMIKU

ketahuilah…

sesungguhnya tidaklah aku ingin menikah melainkan karena aku tidak ingin mati dalam keadaan agamaku ini hanya setengah. [1]

dan tidaklah aku ingin menjadi orang yang menikah melainkan karena aku meyakini janji Alloh bagi orang yang menikah itu benar adanya.

tahukah kau bahwa setiap hubungan suami isteri yang halal itu adalah sedekah yang dapat mendatangkan pahala?! [2]

tahukah kau bahwa hanya dengan merengkuh tangan isteri maka berguguranlah dari jari jemari dosa-dosa?! [3]

dan tahukah kau bahwa bila seorang isteri meninggal dunia sementara suaminya dalam keadaan ridha padanya maka ia akan masuk surga?! [4]

dan bila semasa hidup dia taat kepada Alloh dan taat pula kepada suaminya maka ia boleh memasukinya dari pintu mana pun yang ia suka?! [5]

duhai, calon suamiku…

tidak lah aku ingin menjadi seorang isteri melainkan karena janji Alloh yang satu ini.

karena sesungguhnya aku takut mengetahui bahwa penghuni neraka itu kebanyakan wanita. [6]

dan hanya kepada Alloh aku berharap perlindunganNya dan petunjukNya di manapun aku berada.

wahai calon suamiku…

telah ditakdirkan Alloh bahwa akhirnya engkau memilihku.

semoga inilah perlindungan dan petunjuk yang Dia berikan agar aku bisa mendapatkan kebenaran janji Alloh itu…

namun, wahai calon suamiku,

aku ingin kau menyadari bahwa aku bukanlah makhluk yang sempurna seperti juga dirimu.

maka mengertilah bahwa setelah kita menikah nanti akan banyak hal baru yang akan sama-sama kita ketahui

insya Alloh, akan kujaga apa yang harus kujaga darimu,

dan kuharap kau pun menjaga apa yang harus kau jaga dariku. [7]

bila kau menemukan ketidaksukaanmu padaku karena kekuranganku

maka bersabarlah, calon suamiku…

karena kadang-kadang pada sesuatu yang tidak kau sukai, Alloh menjadikan kebaikan padanya. [8]

temukanlah kelebihan yang kau sukai dari diriku,

bukankah kau memiliki alasan mengapa kau ingin menikahiku?! [9]

tetapi, wahai calon suamiku…

bila ketidaksukaan yang kau temukan itu adalah karena kesalahanku,

maka nasehatilah aku, pisahkanlah tempat tidurku dan pukullah aku bila akhirnya aku meninggalkan kewajibanku. [10]

namun janganlah kau bermaksud menyakitiku hingga membahayakan hidupku karena aku adalah bagian dari dirimu. [11]

janganlah kau luruskan kebengkokanku, karena aku bisa patah [12]

tetapi berhati-hatilah terhadapku, karena aku bagaikan gelas kaca [13].

ingatlah bahwa manusia yang baik adalah yang baik pada keluarganya,

dan lelaki yang baik adalah yang baik pada isterinya. [14]

dan cukuplah engkau menjadikan aku seseorang yang patuh kepadamu dengan menjadi seseorang yang pantas aku patuhi.

sehingga aku mempunyai alasan mengapa aku harus berhias setiap hari,

dan mengapa aku harus menjaga diriku, kehormatan dan juga hartamu saat kau tidak ada di sisi… [15]

jadikanlah aku sebaik-baik perhiasan duniamu [16], hartamu yang paling berharga [17]…

-Mutiara-
