A letter to the better half

Dear Sofia Ansar,

It was a great 12 months that we spent together. We had many things together. We shared everything between the two of us. I have seen your smiling face and crying face. I have seen your positive and negative sides. There were times when I made you angry and there were times when I made you happy. Every single moment was a treasure that I cherish till this date. We started our journey as two strangers who were willing to exchange their hearts for unknown price. And we embarked into that journey without knowing what awaiting us along the ride. But, we trusted each other and with that trust, we set our foot together and started painting our own canvas. 

Alhamdulillah, though we have some hiccups along the roller-coaster of our marriage, we managed it well. Alhamdulillah, although we were not perfect, but we covered the imperfect between us. We are like a fine clothe to each other; me covering you and you covering me. I am glad to be with you, in your rise and in your downfall; in your ups and down; and in every moment of your precious life.

Through you, I learned to be a Man. I learned what it takes to be a responsible person. I learned to be a selfless person in cruising our marriage to where is it sailing now. And I could not thank anyone more than to you for always be there for me, in every side of me, in every moment of my life with you.

Let us take a moment and express our gratitude to Allah, our Match Maker. If not because of His Mercy and Guidance, we will not stumble to each other in our paths. If not because of His Will, we could not meet and walk through this journey and reach our destination today. Today, we have reached to our first checkpoint, before we continue to walk till we reach our ultimate checkpoint, Al-Jannah. Let us stop for a while and look to the footsteps that we created at our back. Let us ponder upon our actions and contemplate over what it needs to be done to make our footsteps better.

I love you Sofia Ansar, and I will always love you. You are an amazing woman that came into my life and managed to change me what others can’t. You are a gift specially created by Allah even before we came into this world. You names and mine have been crafted in the Heaven long before we born. And I know that Allah love me so much that He placed your heart next to mine and your fingers entangled in mine. Thank you for this amazing year! Thank you for being a wonderful partner in my life! Thank you for being a beautiful soul in my world! I hope our marriage will continue sailing till the end of everything!

They asked me

‘what treasure do I possess’

‘I got the whole world’

I told them

coz’ I have your heart

next to mine;

and your smile

that is

brighter than the sun.
