Your name is Secret
Anniversary

"Oya pa, this morning you said something like Marsya? He was a little bit too late to go home from school. Joking you're too much, ih," said Niken.

Niken's husband laughed, "So she's not with you ma."

"Marsya is just a manyun but Marcel is all that," nagged Niken but again her husband just laughed behind the phone there.

"Pa! You seriously want to have another child?" ask Niken fretting. She was afraid that just because her husband wanted to have another child and Niken refused, the husband would look for another womb to bear.

"Why? You thought?" ask her husband who instead of answering the wife's question but instead ask another question.

"I'm scared" Niken said honestly.

"Fear what?" ask husband Niken wonder.

"Fear you'll go to another heart to have another child."

Over there, Niken's husband laughed again, "Your thoughts are yes, too many soap operas. Where could I look for another one just because it's for the sake of the child. I love you and love you until death do us part. It takes a struggle to get you. It can take up to a dozen years to be with you. I'm sorry if my jokes make you restless and so think nothing. One thing you need to know, you're irreplaceable."

The words from her husband just made Niken's face meet red. At her touch next to the cheek with a hand that does not hold the phone. Fortunately, at this time they only talk by phone, if face to face it is certain that Niken will be embarrassed not to be upset because of romantic words from her husband.

"Promise there's no other woman among us?" ask Niken to make sure.

"Hmm how is it. There's Marsya in my heart too."

Niken put on a flat face afterwards. Hoping to be romanticized again by her husband but precisely the reply said by her husband.

Niken packed her things like cell phones and purses and a small mirror into her bag and prepared to go home. Today customers who ask to be made a wedding dress is not too much and Niken does not have to keep down shading the paper to make the nape and shoulders sore.

When he stepped out of the building and intended to find a public vehicle to go home, Niken found Andre's presence sitting on his motorcycle and playing a mobile phone. Niken approaches and tries to surprise him but it turns out that Andre is aware of his presence.

"Udah from earlier? How come you're not gonna pick me up?" ask Niken who is honestly happy to love her heart to pick her up after work. Rarely Andre can pick him up like this because the timetable of his martab outlet is open the same as Niken's workday.

"Just now. Intentionally no surprise." Andre thrust his helmet and put it on Niken's head.

"I want to take it somewhere" said Andre when Niken had climbed on his bike.

"There is," said Andre mysteriously made Niken almost snort. Re-strengthen the body and enjoy the breeze of the afternoon when the motor has gone to defend the highway. Niken looked at the buildings on the left right of the road he was passing. This area is rarely passed because it is different from the way back to the boarding.

Almost 20 minutes of travel when Andre's motorbike stopped at a simple house that still uses the old-fashioned house-style board. The terrace of the house is quite large and there are rattan chairs that are side by side. Flowers look neatly arranged in the yard. There is a swing under the mango tree and a place for sitting made of wood. Looks like it's where they gather in the afternoon or evening.

"Whose house is this?" asked Niken who was still observing the state of the house that looked lonely. His hand was in Andre's grasp and Andre gently held the hand to follow his steps into the house.

"My parents' house" said Andre casually. Niken stopped the move. Face pale. This is the first time he was invited to the house of Andre's parents and the first time was also invited to visit the house of the boyfriend's parents with the status still as a girlfriend not a fiancee like Bayu first.

"Don't you tell me if you want to bring me here?" ask Niken who still does not want to move his legs back.

"Surprise dong" chirped Andre jail. "Why the hell? My family is good" said Andre convinced Niken not to be afraid.

"It's not a matter of evil good brother, all families are also good except the family in the flying fish. But look dong, I just came home from work, the smell of sweat, my face was scratched, clothes I scuffed, where do not bring any more hands," complained Niken who was like going to cry.

Not like this the shadow met the prospective in-laws in Niken's mind. He will meet prospective in-laws with a neat and fragrant look and bring a hand to display the same good impression as when he met the Bayu family first.

Andre held onto both of Niken's shoulders and smiled soothingly, "My family, find a daughter-in-law instead of looking for a super model who should appear well in front of them. You don't have to worry. You forgot what day it is today?"

"Today is Thursday, what is the same Thursday?" ask Niken wonder.

"Today's November 17th, our first anniversary." Arlan's words made Niken open his eyes. Niken did not at all remember that today was their first anniversary. With Bayu first, Niken never celebrated her anniversary, this was her first experience.

"Don't you remember?" andre's question was answered by Niken's head and the ringisan apologized.

"Thank God I remember, so our anniv will not be missed. We'll celebrate our anniversary at my house" Andre asked and pointed back at Niken's hand to enter his house.

Niken according to although not care with his appearance. He must be smelly because he hasn't had a bath all day. Wanting to be angry with Andre but afraid of offending because however Andre had remembered their anniversary and took the initiative to ask him to meet his parents. Niken alone until now has not introduced Andre to his parents.

"Assalamualaik." Andre said his greetings aloud, in contrast to Niken who said greetings in the smallest voice possible.

All the eyes that were in the family room turned their heads as soon as they heard a loud voice from Andre and answered the greetings with no less enthusiasm.

"Well, sister-in-law, come in. Don't be shy, this house will also be the house of sister-in-law." Anjas spoke out loudly to welcome the presence of Niken with the spirit of making Niken more embarrassed and want to immediately disappear it feels.
