“ Kakak, the best things in life is always kept the deepest by Allah, like diamonds.” That’s what my sister told me when I asked here about her sudden decision, wearing a veil 5 years ago.
She closed her most precious gem, her hair and her body. Everybody knows, she had the most beautiful long hair in school. And she looked great wearing her white strapless mermaid bottom gown, that nite at her promnight. But she believed.

Yesterday I visited her house, not exactly what you called a house, but it’s her home now, after recently married on February 18th. I watched her as she and my mom, clean and organize the house.
My sister is one of my proud possession, we belong to each other. We’re best friend, we even spoke telepathically, haha.. we just spoke with our eyes. I was always proud of her, admire her, she’s actually the opposite of me. She’s calm, stick together, and manage to focus every time. She’s smart, gentle and alim (apa bhs inggrisnya). She always manage to be lovable in her calm ways in her society, without even trying. I should have known her presence does mean much, so many of her friends came at our little party yesterday (her wedding). And actually having fun on that day with her.

Many of them were surprised of how quickly she decided to get married, those who were the ones who doesn’t know, the struggle behind it. It wasn’t an easy journey for all of us, specially you Vin. I know it’s been an amazing race, from base to base, detour to detour, and this hasn’t stopped a bit yet.

But Alvin, this is the big point, she knows it, she believed in you. That’s why now, she is trying so hard to be as worth as your triumph, and believed me this has not been easy for her. Now that you’ve got the treasure, she’ll polished it, making it perfect. And trust me she’ll be a dazzling diamond, a classic cut but highlights the clarity of the diamond.

Love you both.
