she told us her stories or past and came to the point where she was talking to her high school teacher.
her teacher advised her on making friends since she came from a small place and going to study in a far more developed place. the teacher said (i'm paraphrasing) 'kalau nak cari kawan, cari lah dalam surau'.
and she found her friends. alhamdulillah.
........................................................
there i was, sitting there as i was listening to her stories not know how i have wasted so many opportunity of actually making the best friends i could ever find. yes, i am sitting in the surau at that moment but i felt like should step in here a long time ago.
back in school, i made friends with my classmate (of course) and i would usually go to the surau at school and i love the place. there, i would invite my friends to join me and alhamdulillah they followed. it was the best of time but i forgot all about it as soon as i left school which is sad. i forget the feeling, the calmness that i felt when i'm there and i hate it.
but when i'm here, and when i first step in this surau, i felt as if i'm accepted. no judgement whatsoever. i felt the bond, i felt the friendship all over again and it was wonderful. it is like a new world to me yet so familiar and loving. the people here accept you and that's the best thing ever.
i love it.
this is my place and they are my friends. thank you Ya Rabb :)
