Bachelor Husband

Bismillah.

Actually, I've drafted this post last weekend. But then, as usual for a beginner (kategori novis lagi nih), I suddenly lost idea. Huh!
But anyway, I'm gonna finish it today.

This 2 weeks has been one of the most boring week for me. My wife was and still not around. She was in East Coast for the whole last week and currently she's in Kuching, having a short course in Hematology. As far as I can remember, this is the 3rd time since we married last May that she went for outstation trip.


But to the fact that I'm more frequent outstation-er, it has not effect me much. Hehe...well, man.

Anyway, I learnt something during this period. I called it as the re-bachellor moment. I try to feel as what a woman will feel when their closest friend or partner gone far. For whatever purpose. So, in my case it is between husband and wife.

"Ala...tak yah la pegi..."

"Awak tak sayang saya ek pegi lama-lama"

"Balik cepat tau..."

That's her script. What about man or me to be specific (hu?):

"Takpe, kan pegi buat keje"

"Mesti la saya rindu kat awak, tapi kena la pi. Kang tak dapat gaji"

"Kejap je sayang. Don't worry"

Can you see the differences? While woman normally keeps on her emotion, man will just let it go. Woman will always like to be accompany, while man can be so independent and lonely. Woman put husband at the first place, while man may at a time gives more prior to their work, job, task or whatever we call it.

They are always and will always come from different planet of thought.

The differences between man and woman has been discussed in many books and articles. Yet still people cannot manage this issue. Why? For me, this is because they see differences as differences. Then how should we see it?

Simple. Differences are complementary. This is lesson #1.
