Sacrifice.

Life is too short to not smile =)

Once upon a time, there lived a girl and a guy. They were not couples, nor were they siblings, but they were very close friends. Too close, to be exact. People had often labelled them as two peas in a pod -- inseparable. The girl always come to the guy for advice, and the guy would always listen. They would fight a lot, but in the end, they would always end up being friends again. That's how awesome their relationship was.

But, little did they know, the girl grew fond of the guy. She denied the feeling, thinking, 'This is the work of the devil. There's no way I am in love with my best friend, my brother.', and she left the thought hanging without thinking further into it. As days go by, the feeling grew stronger, but the girl still insisted on pushing it aside and still accepted the guy as her best friend, as her brother. Until came one day...

The guy, on the other hand though, had never crossed his mind to think of the girl as his lover, nor has it ever occurred in his mind that he would have feelings for the girl
. There were times where the girl's presence just annoyed him and his ways. There were also times where the guy threatened to leave the girl because he grew tired of listening and dealing with such an emotional girl. But deep inside, he loved the girl, not as a lover, but as a brother. He loved her a lot, and the thought of hurting the girl was just beyond him, but his principle was simple. No pain, no gain.

One day, the guy met with another girl. A girl who would be involved in the same organisation as him and his friend. Little did he know, the presence of the newcomer hurt the girl, but the girl just didn't knew why. We call the newcomer as 'Diandra' and the friend as 'Clara' ; the guy as 'Peter'.

Peter met Diandra, and somehow, he fell in love. Clara and Diandra grew to be close friends.

One day, Peter proposed to Diandra, and Diandra promptly accepted. It took them 5 months before they were able to tell Clara of their engagement. During those 5 months, Clara began to accept the fact that she really did fell in love to Peter, and so she confided in Diandra, hoping that Diandra would understand, and she did. Whenever Clara would fight terribly with Peter, Clara would go to Diandra and cried. Clara began to realize that she was very in love with Peter that a tedious fight with Peter would cause her a heartbreak. Little did Clara know, Diandra was toughening up for her.

In the end, when Clara finally knew of their engagement, Clara knew that she can't go on in life. She needs to move on, and though the news was painful, she let it all go. Why? Because, after those 5 months, she began to grew to love Diandra more than she had loved herself. And also because after those 5 months, she began to realize that her love towards Peter was very sincere, that now she knows Peter will be happier with Diandra, she sacrificed her truest love in order for Peter to be happy.

And she did..

And now, Clara still lived in the lives of both Diandra and Peter. Peter is still Clara's brother (in her eyes) and Diandra is still Clara's closest friend.

# Moral of the story : If you truly love someone, all you want for them is to be happy. Even if it's not with you.

True. Sometime it hurts, but believe it deep in your heart, one day YOU, too, will find the right guy/girl.

Patience, and pray to Allah.

Let's focus on managing our Ummah first!

One day, I will be the mother of the next Ahmad Ammar! The next dai'e and khalifah of the century! The next Sultan Muhammad al-Fateh! =')

PS : Ignore the story. It is for you to judge whether it's fiction or it's real. =) I ain't even mad. Because I am okay, and I am awesome! =D
