"What do you think of your husband?" tanya remanku
"He’s the best. I don’t think I could find better man than him" pantas aku menjawab sambil wajah kesayanganku itu terbayang di ruang mata. Temanku tersenyum melirik mendengar jawapanku.
"Of course you’ll think I’m biased and I actually have no comparison to make because I only have been married once, and want to keep it that way."
What make you say that," tanyanya lagi. Temanku ini memang orang yang curious terutama bab-bab ni. Maklumlah masih single lagi dan masih tercari2.
"Well, I knew a couple of men and were close to them when I was younger." aku cuba mengatur ayat. Sebenarnya bila dah berumahtangga masuk berbelas tahun, malas nak bercerita tentang kisah cinta lama. Tapi kena jugak layan temanku dari egypt ni.
"What makes you think that he was the man to be your husband" dia bertanya lagi bila aku menjawab perlahan.
"You see, everybody usually have certain criteria of man whom you choose to spend the rest of your life with. I knew this man. He was quite romantic for an asian. He would open doors for me, would sing me love songs even in front of others. He really knew how to show his affection toward a girl, but there were circumstances that I saw he was not giving enough respect to his own mother. So I thought to myself if he could not respect his own mum who brought him to this world, what about me whom he had just knew for a few months. Besides, he smoked." aku cuba merumuskan cerita lamaku kepada teman itu.
"then, what about your husband now, what do you see in him that you didn’t see in other men?" kepohnya plak dia ni.
Tetapi selepas perbualan kami, aku berfikir sendiri dan menyedari hakikat sayang ku terhadap suamiku. Memang jika tiada yang bertanya persoalan sebegini tidak akan terlafaz di mulut kita. Panjang juga jawapanku kepada teman ku itu. Sambil bercerita aku terkenang kembali saat perkenalan dulu.
