Called More Beautiful, Here are 9 Photos of Melody Prima Telling Her 5-Year Struggle in Wearing Hijab - Feeling Comfortable and Proud

A few days ago, Melody Prima uploaded a photo on her Instagram looking even more beautiful with hijab. And apparently, she mentioned that she has been determined to wear hijab for 5 years through the caption in her post.

In addition, Melody Prima is also aware that wearing hijab is an obligation to cover the aurat. By wearing hijab, she finally feels comfortable and proud of herself.

"It doesn't feel like it's been almost 5 years since I started wearing hijab, from thinking that hijab is an obligation, to finally being able to feel comfortable, and Alhamdulillah, now it has become a pride," she wrote in her upload caption.

Melody Prima vividly recounts when she stopped wearing hijab with a sexy appearance and eventually had to wear hijab to cover her aurat.

"If you've been following me since 2014-2015, you must know exactly how I used to dress, confidently wearing revealing clothes, intentionally showing them off and making it a 'charm'.I used to think that beautiful women had to be sexy! But after my first child was born, I realized that feeling sexy and attracting many eyes towards me no longer made me happy, but instead made me feel uncomfortable and unappreciated. Honestly, it feels embarrassing to remember how I used to dress, but that's the process I had to go through," she added in the caption.

"Besides realizing that wearing hijab is an obligation, I also thought that maybe this is how I can protect myself from the gazes that increasingly make me uncomfortable. Until this moment, I didn't realize that it has been 5 years of my journey with hijab that makes me feel very protected and valued. Maybe my hijab is not perfect, maybe my way of dressing is not what the scholars say, but let me process and develop according to what I can. Because for me personally, it turns out that being able to look beautiful yet still covered is something to be proud of," she added.

On the other hand, Melody Prima also feels her own pride for herself. She admits that she has been able to go through many things and still stand strong without regrets.

"At the end of this year, I feel so proud of myself for being able to go through many things, make many decisions, conquer many fears, dismiss all doubts, and finally be able to stand strong without regret," she wrote in her caption.

"I'm so proud of Melody now, who is not easily swayed by other people's opinions, who is not easily broken when facing unexpected things, and even already knows what she wants her future life to be like," she added.
