No, I am not writing about Muscat. I am writing about a friend who is now there. We have never met but we know each other through mutual friends and I am so glad that I met her. Today I received a message from her via Facebook.
What I like about her is that she makes me smile and laugh a lot. She wears headcover/hijab. A smart person. And I would bet a great wife and mother too. I guessed that because we had had a talk one day, I was feeling a lot of things at once, and we started talking. The reason why I mentioned about her wearing hijab is that, usually ladies wearing hijab have a certain perspective about us who don't. I just love her own views and perspective and approach towards things. Her words of wisdom, her advice, her prayers, will be my guidance always.
When I found out what the message was about, I felt a rush of sadness ran through me. Although I know for a fact that she will always be around here, on the Internet and that we will be communicating 'business as usual' - I just couldn't help feeling that she's not here in Malaysia..
Mala, from now on, I bet you can wash towels and bedsheets not only on Fridays ;-)
