STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
The End of Love

Hana was silent, jealous of the natural thing. But it wasn't jealousy that kept Hana quiet. Sesil's heartache sounded real from every word he said. Hana felt pity, when she saw a woman loved her husband so much. Without even thinking about forgetting it.

"I'm sorry for coming between you. I honestly quit this marriage. I asked Brother Rafa to choose you, at that moment I realized the great love between you. But firmly, Rafa chose me, even though there was no love between us. I never really wanted to be second to you. If I used to be able to give up, but today I can't. Rafa's everything in my life. I love her so much. My breath blows as my eyes look at his face. I'm sorry if I have to watch your tears flow!" hana said softly, Sesil smiled faintly. He realizes his love for Rafa will never be avenged. Rafa firmly and confidently chooses Hana as his life partner. Rafa will never accept Sesil, though Sesil groans and prostrates at Rafa's feet. There will never be another woman in Rafa's life. There will be only one name, now and forever. The simple name of the woman without excess, Hana Khairunnisa.

"I told you all this. Not hoping for your mercy or wanting to bring back Rafa's love. I realized there would never be a Sesil name in Rafa's life. Whether you are present or not among us. Rafa will stay away from me. She will forever hate me. Rafa has been hurt and insulted by me. I came here, not wishing Rafa's pity and coming back to me. I came here on purpose. Just to let go of my anxiety. I've learned to forget Rafa. Although I realized until this moment the name Rafa is still attached to my mind. This place Rafa always comes when he's nervous. I want to throw away all of Rafa's memories. The sea will throw away all memories of Rafa. The wind will blow Rafa's name away, until my ears no longer hear him!" said Sesil lirih, Hana was silent to see the sea and the sky that sank in the dark and lonely night. Hannah heard how great Sesil's love was. Rafa purposely lets Hana and Sesil talk to each other. It was time for Hana to find out, how far Rafa and Sesil's relationship ended.

"I never knew the reason for your separation. Because I have no right to know. One thing I want to say. If you want to forget Rafa. Start opening up, see next to you someone loves you. Do not neglect the sincere hearts of others, just because our hearts are wounded. Believe me, he may be the man who can make you happy. It was clearly visible from his anxious gaze!" said Hana, Sesil turned to look at Alfian who was standing not far from the two of them. Sesil nodded slowly confirming Hana's words. Alfian had loved Sesil for a long time. Even long before Sesil with Rafa. Alfian was also the man who was always there to comfort Sesil when he was sad. Without the slightest hint of him staying away or getting tired had always been Sesil's escape all along.

"She is indeed a person who is always in every liking and sorrow of mine. Although I always ignored him, but he never tired of being beside me. She's the reason I forgot about Rafa, I was more convinced when I heard how good you were. Rafa deserves to be happy with you. I won't be between you two. Tonight was the last time I remembered Rafa Akbar Prawira's name in my life. I'll try to live again. Pursuing the happiness I have long neglected. But one thing still bothered my mind. Rafa is always calm when he's here. I don't see anything that can calm us down. Rafa seemed to forget the world, when he was here!" sesil said in surprise, Hana nodded. Both of his eyes looked at the endless darkness. Swallow all beauty in fear and loneliness.

"I'm here, not for no reason. I want to understand Rafa thoroughly. If only you had noticed, the sea and the sky tonight. No other picture of him, while you are like a little star in the sky. A small star that adds to the beauty of the sky, dim light as if to defeat the darkness of the night. Rafa's standing here, nobody else wants to see himself. The vast sea and the penus of mystery are none other than himself. Rafa's great, but full of puzzles. But the darkness of his heart and life. A week swallowed up all the goodness in him. Rafa's brother who used to be dark without light. Only the light of your love makes her feel beautiful. It gets darker after the light of your love disappears. Rafa's calmness only exists when he sees how dark and complicated his life is!" Hana.

"I'm a woman who doesn't deserve Rafa. Hana you easily understood Rafa back then. What you said is true? The light of my love is lost by the dark heart of Rafa. This little star can't beat the darkness of the night. Until finally this little star chose to disappear, looking for another sky. I'm the one who left Rafa, I betrayed the dark sky that I wanted to shine. But my dark sky is no longer dark, he has found a moon that can shine a dark light on his heart. Rafa has now become your ever-bright sky with your love!" said Sesil, Hana nodded slowly. Sesil nodded towards Alfian, as if asking him to come closer. Alfian walked slowly towards Hana and Sesil. Alfian looked at the two women who admired one man. The difference between the two, only one is loved by Rafa.

"Hana, this is Alfian Hendrawan!" Sesil said, Hana turned to cupped her hands. As Alfian reached out his hand towards her. After seeing Alfian's face, Hana lowered her head. Alfian smiled as he looked at Hana who was guarding his gaze.

"I realized how precious the simple woman in front of me was to Rafa my best friend. It was worth it that night that I saw, Rafa who was slumped without looking at your face. What a precious love!" alfia said softly, Sesil nodded slowly. Instead Hana shook her head weakly. As if he disagreed with the words of Sesil and Alfian. Hana seems to want to say not only Rafa can fall, but instead Hana is much worse when losing Rafa. But Rafa was able to express his anxiety. While Hana was only able to keep it in her heart.

"It's not me that's precious, it's Rafa's love that makes me valuable and meaningful!" Hana. Sesil and Hana decided to take a break with Hana. Instead, Hannah stood in the same place..

"Rafa, a simple woman who has a very special understanding. Never let your guard down. Otherwise the hand will be released, until anytime you will not find a great woman, but wrapped in simplicity!" alfian said while hugging Rafa. The old embrace disappeared from the two friends who had long since drifted away.

"Hana's hands are as tight as possible. The woman who always puts you above everything else. A woman who considers herself worthless, but holds a great love for you!" sesil said, Rafa nodded in understanding.

"I never wanted to take his hand off. I will hold Hana's hand with love and faith!" rafa said, Sesil and Alfian nodded in agreement. Kiara and Rizal smiled as they nodded as Alfian and Sesil bailed.

"It was time for Sesil to see the nature of Hana. Not that I want to hurt Sesil. However he must start learning to appreciate Alfian. Only Hana can change Sesil's thinking. There was love waiting for him. Rafa is confident, only with Hana's understanding and the sincerity that Hana showed. Sesil realized his love for me would only hurt him. But Alfian's love will make Sesil happy!" rafa said softly, Rizal and Kiara nodded in surprise.

"I don't seem to recognize you. Rafa is full of love!" kiara said while shaking her head in disbelief.

"The one that warms my frozen heart. There is only love for him in me. He lightens the darkness of my life. Hannah makes me feel good. It's like you that makes Rizal feel appreciated and loved!"

"Yes that was, since marrying Rizal's brother it's getting cold to me. Maybe he's getting bored!" kiara was upset.

"Darling, love is in the heart. Only the attached heart understands its presence. I don't have to say love to you. If my heart and soul contain only your name. Is it important to say, if I have chosen you!" said Rizal, while hugging Kiara tightly. Rizal infiltrated behind Kiara's nape. Rizal kisses gently on Kiara's nape.

"Indeed love needs no words, but a woman will be happier. When knowing the owner of his heart is always warm. All for the sake of certainty, that he is the only one in the priest!" suhut Kiara was cold, Rizal nodded in understanding.

"You have plenty of time to find that love. Understand each other's keys to a relationship!" rafa said softly, then left the two of them.

"Now you're sure, you're one. The woman who is in the heart and soul of a Rafa!" whispered Rafa, her hands hugged Hana's flat stomach. Rafa pressed her face against Hana's cheek. Rafa felt Hana's hands and cheeks start to cool.

"We're home now, you're cold!"

"Sir Rafa, this is how cold your heart and soul used to be. I'm sorry I ever ignored you. Had I realized, your warmth would have been faster. Of course you don't need to be tormented with this cold!" hana said, Rafa nodded slowly.
