I didn't really want to hide our marital status, but Rehan forced me to cover it up for a while.
Yes I obey what he wants, hide this status somehow until when, I just hope no gossip cornered me. Not wanting to feel if caught lying just for the sake of the status of permanent employees, I believe that the sustenance is arranged and cannot be exchanged.
But I have to support what Rehan wants, I don't want to be selfish. And after I agreed to his plan I just hoped that everything would go according to plan.
"please…! Can we hide this marriage until the right time?" Ask Rehan.
"But Mas.., I'm afraid of being caught and I must be ashamed of having lied" I replied.
"Please, I will be careful not to get caught" said Rehan, holding both hands.
I just resigned, nodding in agreement.
Flashbacks
We dated for about a year, during which time friends at the factory knew about it because they often saw us together.
Maybe because I was a child lacking the attention of a father, it makes me easily tired if approached by a good man who wants to pay attention to me.
"Mel, you're a regional boy? Which city are you from?" Ask my friend Yani
"I'm from town B, yes I'm wandering around and living with my aunt here." Answer me
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Yani seems to be curious
"Son, just broke up and went straight for it." Answer me again
"Good dong, try asking for your phone number.!, later I will know my friend, he seems to have a crush on you." Yani
I also gave my mobile number at that time, I was really wanting to have many friends because I felt foreign in this overseas city.
Since then I started to get close to Rehan mas, often going back and forth together, making me more comfortable, as if I needed him.
Sometimes he made me breakfast, bought me home appliances to fill my empty boarding house, yes, I decided to move from my aunt's house after 10 months of living together, because I don't want to trouble them and I want to live independently.
When the news about our relationship spread, there were some who supported and there were some who considered that at that time I only used Rehan mas only, because at that time Rehan was riding the latest motorcycle.
All of that bothers me a little, because I'm not the materialistic type of girl. But I started ignoring the negative rumors. Until our relationship went on for a long time and we enjoyed it.
"It doesn't feel like our relationship has been a long time?" My speech
"Hmm yes, actually you are serious intentions are not the same as me yank?" Ask Mas Rehan
"Seriously ko, get married I want to." Answer me seriously.
Since that conversation Rehan always talked about marriage, and not long ago we finally decided to get married in the city of B in my birthplace. I took a leave of absence that day on the grounds of returning home, while Rehan only took his long vacation. So my friends no one knows.
I rushed to work, as usual I kept my bag first in the locker, changed my clothes with the available uniform, then walked towards the stairs, because I was working on the 3rd floor. I re-sent and ready to work with my friends.
We work to pursue the target, therefore our work is required to be completed as soon as possible because it will affect our salary later.
"Eh mel, you want to come overtime not this week?" Sulis asked as we were working and the engine was running.
"Either, actually want to be absent first anyway, I'm tired of wanting to rest in kosan." My answer.
"But not obligated overtime?" Ask Sulis
"Yes I know, even though we refuse to be told to overtime, not obligatory but coercive. Haha" I replied with a laugh.
Sulis laughed, "Isn't that Brother Rehan?"
"Where?" Much
"That's the engine next door, look at it first he's actually the engine again..!" Sulis replied while pointing at the direction with a glance at his eyes, because our hands were busy at work.
I looked over, and it was true that it was Rehan. I started to notice it and I accidentally saw a funny moment, when Rehan fell backward and the engine was running, making his body carried away by the machine as if he was like a child who was playing and had difficulty waking up.
"Hahahhaha." I couldn't help but laugh
And it turns out that many friends also saw the incident. Mas Rehan only chuckled and endured the embarrassment, clearly visible from his face.
There-there's just your behavior, mas. mas
Our work is indeed sometimes busy, and there are times when it is relaxing and had time to chat, it happens that my machine is dead so I can relax for a moment.
"Mel, I saw last night Rehan broke into your boarding house after 2nd shift work, did you guys get together?" Ask my friend Heru.
Deg, I'm really surprised by it. The question seemed to make me mute, I was confused what to answer.

Do not follow the example of Melisa who is dating yes readers, in Islam there are already ta'aruf to know each other our prospective partners.:)
Taaruf is a term that is not foreign to be heard by the people of Indonesia, especially for those who want to hold a marriage. Taaruf is an introduction or mutual knowledge between men and women for a specific purpose in accordance with Islamic teachings.
This taaruf process is carried out with the introduction between the male family and the female family. The purpose of this introduction is to unite both parties who intend to go to a more serious level such as marriage.
Taaruf is recommended by Rasulullah SAW for people who want to continue to the level of marriage. The benefit of taaruf is to prevent negative things such as adultery between men and women that can bring sin to both.
