1 year ago, exactly on 29th May 2004, I became Omar Ahmad’s fiance. Witnessed by my classmates, his sis put on a ring wif 1 gold butterfly and 1 white butterfly on my finger. I felt veri uncomfortable at dat moment in time. Not bcoz I was going to b someon’s fiance but bcoz all attention was going to b on me. How I hate being da center of attraction but well I’ll b dat onli twice in my life: wen I got engaged and wen I get married. So I better enjoy it while it laz.
Wen we got engaged, we juz passed our 1 year anniversary togeter. So today makes it like our 2 years anniversary togeter. Our 1st date was on 3rd May 2003 and at dat time, I was sombodi else’s gerlfren. Our 1st date was a spontaneous kind of ting, we didnt actuali planned it. We haf not even met each oder bfore dat. Truthfully, no special feelings were involved. We juz tot of each other as normal frens out watching a movie “My Little Eye” and wen our separate ways after dat. My first impression of him was “Eleh, mamat kental, macam mamat skater gitu” coz of his baggy pants and t-shirt. N he also made me walk from Plaza S’pura to Suntec City fountain on dat 1st date. Somting I’m not fond of doing. I even sent him home by taxi after dat.
But da 2nd date which happened a few days after was a totally different story from da 1st date. Feelings magically developed. Somting me or even him could not explain. We went to makan at Cavana Marina. He blanja me after getting his pay. After dat we proceeded to D Esplanade to sit by da sea. Dere we started flirting wif each other. A simple touch on da hands. A pinch here and dere. Him trying to grab somting from my hand. We sharing a really sour lemon tea. Dis date ended suddenly wen his station called informing him dat he had to go back to work for a few hours. So he asked me to go home but I refused to and wanted to wait for him at Citylink instead till he finished work. So I waited and read Cleo mag from beginning to finish. I even went to an internet cafe and chatted wif Mira, telling her about wat happened, about me being worried dat feelings r developing. I waited for about 3-4 hrs bfore he came back for me. By dat time, it was alreadi dark and he wanted to sent me home. While crossing da road, he held my arm as if protecting me. But dat day, he didnt sent me home coz I didnt let him. Dat nite, wen we talked on da fone, we had our 1st fight. I forgot wat it was about but I remember asking him wat was da relationship dat we had at dat time wen neither of us said anyting about how we felt for each other and I was attached to sombodi else.
So come da 3rd date, we went to ECP. It was a veri romantic date. We sat at da water break. He tried to hold my hands but I kept pushing his hands away. We sat veri close to each other, talking and of coz flirting…hahaha. So flirting, flirting, flirting…den came a moment wen our face came veri near to each oder as if we were going to kiss but him being a decent guy, who had neva kissed a gerl in his whole 25 years living, was scared to do so. So I kinda challenged him a couple of times, saying dat he didnt dare to kiss me. After about 15 mins of being taunted by me, he kissed me suddenly. Hahaha…I stole his 1st kiss. And da rez are not for u kids to know…hehe.
All dat happened in a veri short period of time. Between 3rd May and 25th May 2003, we had our 1st date, flirted wif each other, he had his 1st kiss, I stole his 1st kiss, I broke off wif my boyfren of 7 years, we commited ourselves to each other and I introduced him to my frens and even brought him to Fard’s wedding.
I wish to clarify here dat I did not break up wif my x-boyfren bcoz of him but bcoz I didnt wan to drag a relationship dat I didnt see myself being hepi in. Omar was juz kinda a catalyst for tings to happen and move on instead of being stagnant.
So 2 years had past and I haf neva regretted choosing him being my One, da One Im going to marry. He’s caring, kind, corny and lame (rite Geng?), pampers me, listens, faithful, a good son to his family, prays, dont smoke and dont drink. And of coz we click! Im not saying his perfect wifout flaws. He has his flaws but I want to be wif him despite of dose flaws and accept dem, juz like how he accepts my flaws.
We still haf a long way to go from being each other’s legally. Being engaged is truthfully not da easiest period. Nevertheless, I love him more den yesterday and less den tomoro.
I love you Abang…muakz muakz!!p.s: he said dat he fell in love wif me coz he was touched dat I was willing to wait for hours for him to finish work….touching hah?? ehehehe
