Marry Your Daughter

Marry Your Daughter
By: Brian McKnight

Sir, I'm a bit nervous
'Bout being here today
Still not real sure what I'm going to say
So bare with me please
If I take up too much of your time,
See in this box is a ring for your oldest
She's my everything and all that I know is
It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side
Very soon I'm hoping that I...

Can marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
Can't wait to smile
When she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

She's been hear every step
Since the day that we met (I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left)
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad
I've got most of my vows done so far (So bring on the better or worse)
And till death do us part
There's no doubt in my mind
It's time
I'm ready to start
I swear to you with all of my heart...

I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

The first time I saw her
I swear I knew that I'd say I do
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

The moment this song popped up in my Whatsapp, I knew it will be something. That it not just an 'easy listening song' like The Hopeless Romantic number 2, Her Excellency Kurnia Hariani, have claimed. Wait, if she is the second, then who is the first one? I think it's me, but of course it'll take thousands years for me to admit it :-D

It's like mutual agreement between us, to send each other some songs that affected us much till the point it's the only song in playlist for hours. I said affected, while the reality said obsessed, actually.

After I downloaded it and press play, I can't help giggles for long time. I imagine dreamy look in Janah's eyes. If Islam allows bet, I'll say ten bucks for what kind of thing that running in her little head. A prince charming mean to sing this song for her. Yeah, what else? This song confirmed as a cute one, my opinion. I even imagined Juang play guitar in front of her house while sing this song. Instead of accepted it as a romantic way of proposing, Mamiq Tuan went to front yard, gave him some money, then hushed him over. Mistaken him as a street's singer. Hahaha.. forget my wild imagination.

But I'm not being hypocrite, I admitted that I do have a same dreamy look when I hear this song. Especially after my encounter with Bunda Novi yesterday morning. Few hours before I've been guessing some possibilities about the sudden call. Like the hopeless me, I avoid the small voices about the half possibility and forced myself to believe in the half one. And after hearing the thing, I unconsciously say yes. I don't know but it feels so natural. Like something that meant to be. Something that I've been waiting for. Because the signs already there. And I'm too blind to didn't notice it. The only thing miss is blushed face and butterflies in my stomach. Okay, blast that romance novels.

The question is? Do I really want to do this? Am I too rushed everything? I mean for Allah's sake I didn't even take the istikharah.

Astagfirullahal adzim. Istigfar, I need billions of it. For blocking my unnecessary imagination, and my skyrocketing hope. For there is anything that have been settled down yet. I need to get closer to Allah. I mean, I consciously take a step on it. And I can't take it back. Wish it the best, anything the final decision is. And I intended to make the process as pure as it can be. My Lord guide me.

If there's something about my rushed decision that I can proud of, It was my bravery to face it. To finally take a chance to start a relationship. I wish this is one of the way Allah will heal me, completely.

Anggun: Ibu

Aku suka dangdut? Ngggg.. kayaknya nggak hard to believe banget. Apalagi karena aku juga suka lagu-lagu India. Lagu yang ku suka variatif, nggak terbatas di genre tertentu atau satu penyanyi. Yg penting ngena di hati. Dan malam ini, entahlah aku mesti senang atau sedih. Aku hampir menangis menyaksikan penampilan finalis DA3 dari Bima, Anggun. Mungkin karena mengetahui kisahnya sebagai TKI dan hanya pernah bertemu beberapa kali dengan anaknya. Mungkin karena di dekatku ada ibuq, dan membayangkan lagu itu adalah ungkapan hati ibuq dan ibu-ibu lainnya di seluruh dunia. Ditambah lagi aku belum bisa berbuat banyak untuknya. Atau mungkin, sekali lagi mungkin. Ini yang dikatakan: apa yang dilakukan dengan hati, akan sampai ke hati. Apalagi ketika baitnya sampai pada 'Kau adalah simbol kesempurnaan dariku yang tak sempurna'. Tuhan, sampai disini aku merinding. Betapa besar anugerah dan kenikmatan menjadi seorang ibu. Sesuatu yang kerapkali ku impikan. Tapi aku sadar, mungkin Allah ...

The Reflex

Siang ini di atas motor.. Tikungan agak tajam ke kanan tampak 50 meter di depanku. Tangan kiri sedia memegang rem. Tangan kanan yang sedari tadi konsen menarik gas mengendur dan berganti menarik rem. Lalu membawa stang motor sedikit membelok ke arah kanan. Tikungan terlewati dengan mulus. Semua dilakukan dengan spontan. Like they said, if you do something for years, you get pretty good at it. Or in my case, used to it. Because I'm not sure I'm a good or lousy rider. Sometimes it feels like the first but not rarely I feel the second. Aku melakukannya sebelum memikirkannya. Semua diatur otak di alam bawah sadar. Lalu ketika mobil dari arah berlawanan menyalip dan melewati kami dengan terpaut jarak sekian puluh senti saja, jantungku langsung seperti ingin meloncat dari rongganya. Bahkan jantungku bukan milikku sendiri. Ia bekerja mengikuti ritme tubuh. Sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Aku tak bisa mendiktenya untuk berdetak 85 kali saja. Ia memiliki mekanisme tersendiri. Pun paru-paru...

Malin Kundang

"Dimana itu Nak?" Pertanyaan protokoler akhirnya keluar di ujung sana. I almost roll my eyes if it wasn't for the answer itself. What was this place called again? My brain went blank. In panic state I running in storange room names my brain, rummaging for some memory. Nope, nada. Fortunately, there's last source of knowledge standing there. I turn to her and ask. "Dimana namanya ini lenga?" My, my. The look on her face is priceless. Just like I ask her where is my keys when its dangling in my bag. I I can't help but broke into laugh. "Ya Allah lenga beneran side lupa?! Karang Sukun." Cue for the stern-looking-mom-expression. It was so understatement. I was lived in that area for almost one year yet it's name easily slipped from my mind. I was never intended to comeback to my old landlord yet Cg's landlord came 500 kilometers across sea to attend her wedding. Yep, I can totally see the picture here. Not only that time Cg must huffing ...
