first ramadhan with the husband

this ramadhan has been really good so far. the first few days, i spent it with the husband in kl, packing our things for the new apartment, buka with his parents, siblings and cousins and finding contractors for the house, etc.

a week later, he came up for the remaining two weeks of puasa. we have been staying at windy heights, looking after the house, maid and watering jidda's plants. so far, we bukaed puasa with my family, his maternal grandma, lovely folks of jln ismail, my cousins and last night with beats society and their guests.

last night, i was in a slight discomfort in the tummy after eating really good and spicy briyani (from shakuntala, courtesy of b_s and northeast cdc) and the husband can really sense something was wrong with me, eventhough i was not showing it in the least bit.

when asked how he can know when i am not myself (even when i am not showing it), he simply said, "i can just tell."

is that what true love is? when you just know what the other person is feeling/thinking/experiencing? is it some telepathic transmissions going on? the vibes that can pick up from our love ones?

i was getting ready for work this morning. he was reading a book while waiting for me to get dressed and suddenly, while i was seated on the bed, putting on my socks, he came over and gave me a hug. a long one and he didnt loosen up or let go for a good two minutes. both of us were very quiet.

at that moment, i could hear his blood coursing through his veins. his chest throbbing from his heartbeat. i could feel his love enveloping me. and every exposed inch of my skin was absorbing his love.

and at that moment, i can just tell too.

i love you.
