I cancelled my wedding for him
Just six months before her wedding day, Iza Rahman gave away all -- her wedding plans, her standing within her family and relationship with her fiance and his family -- all for her love of Syarulnizam.
Iza tells how she got together with her 'enemy':
"How I met my darling boyfriend made me believe in fate...
"Seven years ago...
"On my way to a club, while waiting for the train, I saw a guy. At first, I just ignored him.
"I boarded the train, but all seats are taken. A few stops later, I went to a seat where an uncle just gave up his seat to alight when I realize, I was sitting next to the guy whom I saw at the station earlier. Again, I ignored him.
"That night, at the club with a friend, she introduced me to a guy. Coincidently, it was the same guy I sat next to in the train and whom I had seen at the station, and we both knew it.
"We just had fun partying together throughout the night.
"I didn’t expect to keep in touch with him, but he texted me to ask to meet up the next day. I got to know that he lived just three blocks away from me. We dated at a park nearby and from that day on, we became a couple.
"Weeks later, things got rough. We seldom meet, and never went out of town but only met at his place. I didn’t like his aggressive/playboy attitude. He would text me whenever he liked. I was frustrated but luckily, I did not love him all that much.
"I decided to dump him a day after my birthday. I hated him after that. I hated him so much, but I don’t know why.
"Sometimes I felt like slapping his face whenever we bumped into each other in the neighbourhood.
"He wanted us to get back together, but I rejected him completely, and vowed to myself that even if he was the last man on Earth, I would rather die single!
"I couldn’t love him and never would, I told myself. Whenever I saw him, I would proudly show off my new boyfriend to him, telling him how happy I was. I really hated him more than an enemy!
"3 years later...
"We met at the same park where we first dated, thinking of giving him another chance. We recalled our sweet moments together and he remembered what I liked and disliked. It moved me but I had no feelings for him at all no matter how hard I tried. My heart was totally shut to the idea of accepting him back.
"One year later...
"I was engaged to L who I was with for one year and I was happy about getting married. L took care of me very well. Even my family loved L too. But despite the happiness, I felt something about L that made me cry almost every night.
"Not wanting to break my family’s hearts, I just went with their wishes.
"Six months to my wedding...
"L and myself went to town. As I was walking forward, I didn’t notice that L had stopped to have a chat with a friend whom he had bumped into. When I turned around, L’s ‘friend’ already turned and walks off.
"I told L his friend looked familiar and that I was very sure it was my ex-boyfriend. L told me that he was his colleague and a best friend at work. Later, I found out that L did not talk to him at work again.
"I added him on Facebook and my motive was to make him jealous with the engagement pictures I had uploaded. We chatted, but there was still hatred. He gave me his number. Out of boredom, I text him one day and we met at ‘the park’.
"He had changed, and was not like himself five years ago. He was more mature. Overall, he had somehow captured my heart for no reason when I suddenly realized after five years, he was the one who was missing in my life.
"For the sake of my happiness, a day after my birthday, I decided to call off the wedding.
"The first three months after that were the toughest. Handling the cancelled wedding and being hated by all made me nearly give up on life.
"My family never spoke to me after that and treated me as if I was invisible in the house. I cried myself to sleep nearly every night. Only he managed to put a smile on my face and made me forget about all the problems I had at home.
"Even L and his family tried to incite my family to hate him. But he stayed strong, and his strength kept our relationship alive, despite our being hated, condemned and criticized by my family and L’s family.
"No one had ever sacrificed so much for me as much as he did. He did all that just for me.
"Now...
"It's five months to our second anniversary.
"We are so in love. Acceptance from my family had made our love blossom. I love him too much now. God had given this relationship a second chance and we were together after seven years of separation.
"He never fails to make me feel so alive. I thanked God for returning to me what I had lost. He is my soulmate and next year, he will not only be my best friend and a boyfriend but my husband as well.
"He is the man I adore and the man I will love for all eternity. He is Syarulnizam, and I'm so blessed to be with him."
