Her, my love

Her dreams

HER, MY LOVE

"Meesya Aida Binti Latif."

That moment, only Allah knew how she felt. The condition when she felt butterflies flying freely in her stomach disappeared just like that. High curiosity washed away immediately by the announcement of her name. She released a sigh of relief. Everything paid off with a victory and an amazing result. All her exhausting and tiring time over the two years of studying before facing the SPM examination really paid off with an 11A+ result. Tears streaming down her cheek because she was really happy and relief.

She had a hard time throughout the years and she never thought that she could ever get those kind of results. The last SPM examination was ridiculous. It was so hard till she felt like she was going to get only 1A which she assumed the subject would definitely be Mathematics. Not that she was very sure of that, but it kind of much easier than the other subjects including the core subjects such as Malay and English language and History. That doesn't include the killer subjects yet. She was speechless upon seeing the exam papers during the SPM examination though. Of course, she did answer all the questions but she just answered it the way she liked. Maybe Allah wants to help her. That's why, she managed to get such result even though she knew well how she studied.

She wasn't like any other students, studying and burning the midnight oil. She was a student who always studied in the eleventh hour. To be exact, a student who always studied last minute. Of course, she felt uneasy every time she would face an exam especially big exams. She wasn't a hardworking student but she can be praised when it comes to finishing homework. Give her lots of homework and it would not be a big problem for her to finish it all. She love doing lots of homework more than studying for examination and tests. Maybe that's the way she learnt during her life as an SPM candidate.

Whenever people around her asked her about how she studied, she would just smiled and said nothing. How can people expect her to give them advice on things that she didn't do? The way she studied, she bet people would gawk at her if she ever tell them. She thought that they shouldn't imitate and make her their role model when it comes to studying methods. People will always ask questions like, "How did you spend your time studying?", "What did you eat that you can be as smart as you are right now?", "Share some of your study secrets!" Well, neither of these questions she could answer. And she would say, "I just don't know and if you know the real way I studied, I bet you would not believe me." Then, they stopped asking but still, she saw this kind of looks carved on their faces - Unbelievable.

The memorable day of receiving her SPM result really made she feel touched. She was touched because even though she didn't work too hard during her SPM examination, Allah still give her good results. Everything that happened throughout her life was unbelievable and full of surprise. Realising that she was an SPM candidate, she have grown into a woman despite her childish behaviour. She was going to pursue her studies in the university that she always dreamt of - IIUM. Time will fly. In the future, maybe when she woke up from her sleep, she would suddenly realise that she'd already achieved what she desired in her life - Mr Right, at least a house, at least a car, children and even a career that she had always dreamt of.
