Hiding Legal Status

Chapter 5 Role of Father

The days changed and in the end as long as passed, Rehan had returned to work as usual. We started and went back to work together again.

Desi who now also has finally occupied the upstairs room opposite our room, I actually want to avoid by moving the boarding room number, he said, but it would be very inconvenient to have to move things and re-clean up.

We decided to stay in the room and be more careful not to get caught, actually, our boarding guards knew the status of our marriage but somehow Desi and the others did not know the news, I was grateful at that time.

Once upon a time, Mas Rehan and I went home from shift 2, around 12 p.m. When we wanted to enter the inn, we saw Desi chatting in front of the gate at the security guard post. I was the only one down and Rehan pretended to be gone.

It's hard, and it's funny sometimes to make me laugh at our ridiculous behavior.

I was in my room, changed my clothes and relaxed.

"Mas Rehan where he was, hopefully Desi will quickly enter his room." My speech

I also stood up and opened the door, when it was open to see Rehan who immediately entered quickly.

"Jeez mas.. slow down dong..!"

"I just don't want Desi to see me, so I quickly entered, isn't the room he's in right up in front of our room, it would be obvious if he's on the top porch." Rehan

"Hmm.. Yes, where to go? hehe.."

"What a walk, mas want to go home quickly but have to go around first, and you deck instead like to laugh at your mas this, jeez deck... deck.., do not disobey so is the deck..!" Rehan

I kept laughing hearing Mas Rehan's complaints, yes indeed many days that we passed with tension. And also a lie to cover this up. hmmm…

The next day we went up in the morning, because we were going to buy sports shoes. We needed it so much because we planned to run off early in the morning together when the holidays came.

When we were in the shopping center, I was so happy, I walked side by side with Rehan, I wanted to feel like I was holding his hand but I felt ashamed huh? Even though we were married. Hehe

"That's a nice deck." Point Rehan mas at one of the shoes neatly lined up.

"I don't like the color."

"All right, we'll look for it again." Rehan

"You want to have such a cute child?, hmm patient baby until our wedding is announced..!" Rehan

"Yes, I hope you will be a good father, who cares and cares about our children later, do not be like me who is so far away with my own father, awkward as to others." I said sad

"Yes, I'll try to love." Rehan

Yes, I was born into a simple family, I was only close to my mother. My father never wanted to take care of me and my sisters since a long time ago, my mother also said that he used to be very troubled to take care of us but my father was only in charge of finding money.

When my father came home to rest without greeting me and my brother, his angry nature scared me to get close to him, although I know he is still my father who always works hard to make a living.

But.we as a child also actually need his affection, his embrace and his attention.

There was never a conversation, a joke between father and son at home. It lasted until we were adults, until we as his children felt awkward and afraid.

We never felt hugged, invited to play, invited to joke, chat about school activities, it makes us awkward if close to him.

From my experience, I made it clear to Rehan not to make such a mistake.

Basically, the father also plays a role in educating and nurturing children. This is exemplified in the exemplary stories in the Quran. For example, the story of Luqman who advised his son, Prophet Abraham who educated Ishmael to be a godly son, Prophet Zakariya and his son, Prophet Yahya, and so forth.

However, parenting-related psychological research shows that paternal involvement in parenting impacts child behavior early on. In addition, fathers who are involved in parenting are also risk factors so that children do not develop antisocial behavior or other problematic actions.

The important role of the father in this family is illustrated in the words of Prophet Muhammad SAW: "A father is the middle part of the gate of heaven. So, stay at that gate or let go, (H.R. Tirmidhi).

The above hadith illustrates that the father is an important key in guiding and educating children in a family. It is only natural that the Prophet declared that the child was born in a state of holiness and fitrah. Both parents who form and influence him become a godly child/salihah or not.

"No one is born except to be born in the [Islamic] fitrah. Both of his parents made him Jewish, Christian or Magi," (H.R. Bukhari and Muslim).
