JASMINE
BY: FATIMA ZAHRA
I couldn’t believe this happened. Those sharp blue eyes and lovely smile were finally mine. It was just like a dream. I had never imagined that someone who was now standing by my side was my husband.
“My love, why are you staring at me like that? Is there anything wrong with my face?” He asked me curiously. I was shy because I got caught when I stared at him.
“Umm… Nothing… I was just thinking…”
“Thinking about what? Would you mind to tell me?” urged him.
“I was just thinking about… you… You’re like a perfect prince in a fairy tale. Many girls out there want to be your wife. Why did you choose me? I’ve got nothing special. I’m not beautiful, I’m not smart, I’m not wealthy and I’m definitely not a ‘dream-girl’ type.”
Then a sweet smile formed on his lips. His deep stare met mine.
“Who says you’ve got nothing special? For me, you are a princess, a protected peal, a priceless gift. You’re the most beautiful woman on earth.” He said seriously.
“Really? But…”
“Honey, listen. If I married you for your wealth, it would perish. If I married you for your beauty, it would fade away. I married you because of Allah, because of your deen. You are my ‘dream girl’. You are a righteous woman, you love Allah and our beloved Prophet, and you always help me with my deen. Maybe you’re the only one who doesn’t know that your inner beauty is so radiant. That made me fell in love with you.” He continued.
I couldn’t help my tears from falling hearing those words. I felt that Allah had really answered my prayer. Alhamdulillah… Thank You Allah for sending him to my life. He wiped my tears away with his hands gently.
“Don’t cry..."
“I’m crying because I’m too glad. I feel so blessed to have you in my life.”
“I love you for the sake of Allah, my dear wife…”
