Countless times a close friend has asked me to start a blog and countless times I’ve refused knowing full well that I will start one at some point, when my heart tells me to – now is that time.
He walks in, all I hear are brief footsteps.
I walk in, apprehensive. A thousand questions running through my mind.
Will he like me?
Do I look okay?
Where shall I sit?
Do I make eye contact, do I not?
I need to stop trembling with this tray – put it down! But where, in front of whom?
Do I like him? First impressions? – Well I won’t know because I haven’t even looked at him yet!
Ok, is now the time to look? Maybe not, it’s time to greet everyone else in the room. Phew – there’s kids. Quick, little people, divert this attention away from me... quick, quick, NOW! Good going! You’re actually quite cute, both of you.
I compose myself for a second before finally looking up at him and he appears calm, seems nice with a charming smile.
From that moment on, my life took a turn for the best – Alhamdulillah. I thank the Almighty for bringing him into my life. This first post is dedicated to him.
