Baby

Early this morning I was awakened by a call from a dear friend. She told me she had a big news to tell. 

Still half-asleep, reluctantly I said, "Go ahead, what is it?" 

"You want to try and guess first?" she asked. 

Then it came to me, "Are you pregnant?" 

She laughed. Which confirmed my suspicion. 

"I can't believe it. Right now it must be a lump or something, since it is still too early. But I just did the test once, so I better go and see the doctor to confirm."

Alhamdulillah, I am so happy for her. If it is true that a baby is on the way, I better start saving from now. For future niece/nephew(s). :)

"Dialah yang menciptakanmu dari tanah, kemudian dari setitis mani, lalu dari segumpal darah, kemudian kamu dilahirkan sebagai seorang anak, kemudian dibiarkan kamu sampai dewasa, lalau menjadi tua. Tetapi di antara kamu ada yang dimatikan sebeum itu. (Kami perbuat demikian) agar kamu sampai kepada kurun waktu yang ditentukan, agar kamu mengerti." - 40:67

Human creation is a miracle. I remember I once told someone that marriage is important, particularly for "kemandirian spesies":  
"If I did not get married, I'd be wasting such a good genetic make-up." Haha. :P
