Lockdown Story 4 | Story of my Life

My lockdown Kahani begins in March 2020.

I was planning for my wedding which was supposed to happen in October 2020 with a lot of excitement. Visiting halls, looking for wedding dresses seeing dance videos, mehndi designs, and well everything was interrupted when on 16th March 2020 Malaysia announced that we will be observing a strict lockdown. We couldn't even step out of our houses only one person from each family was allowed for essentials. My first reaction was denial I couldn't believe that there could be a lockdown. Anyhow, I did not lose hope and I was determined that things will get better we will have a wedding as planned. After few months in May 2020, we decided to proceed with online Nikkah to get our papers ready so when we do have a wedding in October /November I could fly to Qatar with my husband. 25th July 2020 my Nikkah ceremony took place via zoom. All our family and friends in different countries saw us saying " qabool hai " on a private youtube stream. And then the wait started, Months kept passing borders still closed. October came and passed. Now We are all agreed that I would travel to my husband as soon as I get my visa. It's April 2021 -Almost a year and I still have no confirm update. There have been times I have broken down, felt helpless, hopeless & frustrated all at the same time because there is no time limit to when this all will end and when I can go and resume my life. Aise bhi lagta hai k yey shayad waqt kabhi nahi guzre ga.And the cherry on top to make things worse we have our society who won't think before asking about what the other person is going through internally but would like to have an update on your married life. Hamaray log Kabhi dosro se sawal krne se pehlay yey Nahi sochte k agla Kitna pareshan Hoga yan Kitna upset bus pochlo. Nahi jati kisi ko batyay beghair khair log to log hain kya karsaktain hain

Anyhow. This lockdown taught me that we can plan whatever we want but hota wohi hi jo Khuda chahta . Life is very unpredictable. You are considered Na shukri if you feel down for a bit also. Your immediate family is everything. No one can help you stay strong except your family & spouse. I have learned to be more thankful and patient for the blessings I have. May Allah ease all our difficulties and do not repeat this time with anyone else.
