My situation was very unique at the time I arrived in Ireland. The first few days when I was in Cork City, walking down the main streets, looking for decent food, food that did not look like eels boiled in lard, I truly believed that I was the sole Malaysian for that academic year.We first met after a few days into the semester. I had actually seen and stared at her in class before, sure, several times in fact –but I thought she was a Chinese girl from Indonesia. She knew who I was after a friend of a friend who worked as a clerk in the International Students Office spoke to her about me.That was the first time I spoke in Malay to another human being (and not to a crackling, noisy voice on the phone) since I arrived in Ireland. We fell asleep with our telephones hanging from our ears several times as we were watching late-night reruns of Friends on the telly from our respective bedrooms. We had our Raya photos taken at the steps of the Main Quad (just the two of us, and four times out of six we wore matching Raya dresses) and we sent these photos religiously every single year to Utusan (for her parents) and Harakah (for my parents).Mahirah and I were practically inseparable. We spent more time with each other per day than we have time for our own private selves. That dress looks nice on you, Mahirah, I came out frank. Nothing was on that night to help me forget the haunting image of Mahirah for a moment long enough so that I could close my eyes and doze off.The next morning, on the city bus to do our Saturday groceries, I asked for her hand.4.In a few minutes, it will be exactly 24 hours.A few hours ago, I had dinner alone for the first time since my student days. The last time I ate dinner in front of the TV, Pop threw a large chunk of potato at me and it bounced off of my face. It’s dinner time, sit here. From the time I proposed to her on the bus to the time we consummated our marriage in a 3-star hotel in a lakeside resort town, it took us less than five weeks in total. I remember Mahirah’s Lebanese housemate and her classmates bursting into tears when they saw her coming out of the back room with her silk veil on.When the aqad was fulfilled, Mahirah began sobbing, and her tears ruined the makeup.7.Our true first year of marriage only began after we have returned home to Malaysia and we had decided to settle down in Shah Alam. We looked forward to our future together.But somehow, we failed to look at where we were and where we had come from as a couple. We had never given ourselves the proper time to get to know each other as lovers. We still did everything together, and we still talked about everything all the time, but our minds were always someplace else.After returning home, Mahirah and I were kept busy by our obligations to our work and to our marriage, and we unknowingly repeated the same mistakes that we did as a student couple. We assumed that there would be time for it later.But as God had willed it this afternoon, time was not on our side. One Maghrib, Mahirah began to sob quietly when I was reciting a prayer asking God for blessed happiness in our marriage. Hearing her sob, I cut the prayer short and when I turned to face her, she was already in tears and her face was buried deep in her hands.What is wrong Mahirah, I asked her. and a hyped male lead.Somehow, after watching that film, Mahirah began talking again. On the drive back home, Mahirah was laughing cheerfully and telling jokes and pulling pranks and moving her body to the car stereo, and we were just having a blast.Mahirah was so in high spirits that we ended up in bed and we made beautiful love for the first time since her becoming less talkative. And this was odd because I know Mahirah and she is a great kisser and she knows it and she loves it.As we cuddled, her head on my arm and my fingers running through her hair, Mahirah spoke of our good old days at the UCC.

You really can’t have enough, so why not have a funny one made by someone you know?

I had a nice dinner and finished the night off with the usual tradition: ice cream cake. Blah, blah.
