she’s going to uni soon
December 19, 2016 • 30 comments • 2661 viewsWe were driving back home from a wedding when suddenly Dean says out of nowhere…
“You know she’s going to uni soon right?”
Umm.. there I was not knowing what he’s talking about. Did he say something before this?? Dang it Vivy this is why you should pay attention when your husband talks! Now he’s going to know you weren’t listening.
“Umm… who’s going to uni soon?” I asked carefully.
“Mariam. She’s going to uni soon.”
Mariam, my not-even-2-year old daughter? The one who’s at home eating spaghetti with a spoon? The one who shoves her face into ice cream?
This Mariam?
“Umm w-w-what??”
“Yeah…. Just 16 more years and she’s going to leave us,” Dean’s eyes haven’t blinked. “Oh wait, 14 more years! Omg, we have even less time now.” He drives a bit faster in a rush to get home.
“Are you ok??”
“Our daughter is going to be a grown up soon, sayang, don’t you realize?”
Ummm, she can’t even say university yet.
He continues, “Soon she’s going to be married like that bride and she’s going to leave us.”
Ohhhhh….kayyyyy…..
He still continues, “Time flies you know. In 14 years, she’s off. You know what we have to do, right?”
“No….?”
“We have to move to London and follow her to uni.”
Oh boy.
“No one does that! That’s crazy.”
“No, that’s love. Can you imagine Mariam not having us in a whole other country on her own? Can you imagine Mariam being alone???”
This gangsta’s gonna be fine, Daddy.
“Well, I’m sure she’ll miss us a bit….”
“A bit?!! SAYANG, COME ON, SAYANG. She needs us. We’re moving once she moves. In 14 years time, don’t act like you don’t know this ok?”
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Oh Dean, you are such a dadddd!
As soon as we got home, he ran to the bedroom and hugged Mariam who was fast asleep. She got annoyed and started pushing him away.
I looked at Daniel sleeping with mouth open. “Sayang, you know that one is going to uni first right??” as I pointed to Daniel.
“Yeah but this one needs us more…” he says as Mariam struggles out of his arms.
“She doesn’t want you in uni, trust me.”
“You don’t know her, sayang. I’m going to hug you forever, Mariam. We only have 14 years left,” he said, while Mariam kicked his face to let her go.
Feeling’s not umm mutual there, sweetie, but ok, I’ll start packing my bags for Year 2031.
Oh, Mariam, you’ll never know your dad’s love to you. He’d do anything for you. Oh well, actually you will know cos he’ll be going to classes with you in uni, he’ll be going on your dates with you, and he’ll be tapping your phone to eavesdrop. Hahahaha. Sorry in advance and please remember that I tried to stop him every single time.
oh my… i don’t know whether to laugh or to cryy…

May Allah SWT bless you n ur family V.. Even this funny story of yours inspires me.. Reminder to me n my hubby too.. ????
Oh no, now i’m imagine my little daughter who’s just hit two leaving me. *criesariver* just yesterday she was kissing me saying ‘mummy mmuahh’ every 2 minutes.
Awww so sweet..
I have the same feeling towards H. Kalau boleh tak nak dia masuk boarding school. Uni dekat sini je, UIA paling dekat with our place.
Tapi dia mesti ada plan and keinginan sendiri kan..
All the best and good.luck mariam hihi.
haha. i wonder where did you get a positive vibe to keep blogging continuously, and not only that-your writing always dragged me to read till the end ^_^
And yet, most probably you’ll always be the bad cop and daddy is always the best. Your next hash tag should be, #isweariamthegoodcop
i feel u dean..i feel u *cries*
Ohh my! i feel so touched after read this! 🙁
Alamak. Is it Fadza or Dean now? ahahaha
thankkss for this..this post make me miss my father very muchhh..
I’m laughing non-stop now.. hilarious dean
Awwhh.. sweet daddy. Mariam (and Daniel!) when you grow up u have to love your mommy and you daddy ok? they will move the land and the sea for you if they could.
Awwww now I miss my parents!
I want to cry ????
I nanges already lah!
awhhh mak n abah????
i wonder if my dad feels that way too :’)
hahahaha I feel you, vivy. My husband is exactly like that. He kept on hugging our son, Yusuf, and he said he will never let him go. he will follow Yusuf to uni, and move in with him when he got married. he wants to follow Yusuf wherever he goes :O #iamspeechless
well at first, I dont get it too.then thinking about it. and yup, daughter’s . just for a while.then she left for university and then get married and not ‘yours’ anymore. dean will have you everyday for another 40 years. but to have Mariam for everyday…is only for a while (maybe until 16?) haha. and then they dont want you. I get that now. hes a busy man. 2 years fly so fast, 14 is just another 7 version of that 2 years. if that make any sense.
Omg he’s such a great dad vivy! But still, funny tho *lmao
Fadza, go ask your father-in-law his real experience la. Go now, dont wait….cepat2..
mariam, u such a lucky daughter here.. i’m so jealous of u k.. i never felt like a princess back then.. you are lucky to have very protective hero besides.
Just do not know what to say???????????? from his face everyone can see that Fadza is such a loving and carrying person???????????? follow the flow V????????
Another Papadom movie in the making. Ask fadza to watch that beautiful movie vy. Potrayed by afdlin shauki ????
feels soo sad but when i look at mariam photos i laugh . oh mariam, u have to be a great daughter for ur parents okay? make them proud of you sayang!
V, I don’t find this funny but it is really bring me into tears! I feel him :’)
Mariam, sure she has a very good dad, i’m so envy of her. Be a good daughter later Mariam
The feeling of a dad to his daughter is beyond words!
Awww. This is so touched! I wanna cry already!
