STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Hana Khairunnisa's

"Hana, may I sit with you!" greet Dilla suddenly. Hana and Diana looked up in unison. They saw Dilla standing right behind them. Soon Hana and Diana let go of their embrace. Diana stood right in front of Dilla. As if to block him, so as not to get close to Hana. While Hana was aware of Diana's worries. Asking Diana to step aside and allowing Dilla to sit down with them.

"Dilla, sit by chance me and Diana are having lunch together. You just join us. The food I ordered was too much. So it won't be possible if we eat together!" hana said politely, Dilla nodded while putting on a smile. Diana, on the other hand, was annoyed to see the kindness of Hana to Dilla.

Not that Dilla was unaware of Diana's annoyance. Everyone will be angry, when his best friend is constantly insulted and humiliated. A friend Dilla never had. He only has friends who will be there when he succeeds. Sometimes jealousy takes hold of Dilla. When she saw Hana and Diana laughing together. Not by possessions or luxuries they make friends. But their friendship was based on genuine affection.

Hana and Diana will be together even without food. They will still laugh, even if they have to swallow when they see their friends eating in the cafeteria. If a love needs sacrifice, but Hana's friendship only needs support and mutual protection. Something very difficult to have in a world full of tricks.

"Thank you Hana, I just sat down for a while. Actually I have an appointment with Adrian's brother. We're going out of town. He asked me to wait for him here. At first I was surprised, now I understand. It turns out that Adrian sir will leave after meeting Diana. If I could honestly say. I am envious to see the closeness of the two of you, the friendship that continues to be established from the past until now. Plus you two have the love of your husband. Someone who became the dream of women. Easily fall in love with you!" said Dilla softly, Hana stared at the look of Dilla's sad face. Hana felt how lonely and lonely she lived. Diana was silent without the slightest bit of pity. Diana was furious at Dilla. It's not because Diana heard Adrian was going to meet Dilla. But the words of Dilla that night were still very imprinted in Diana's heart and mind.

"You will always be envious of the happiness of others. For all your life, you live very easily and comfortably. You will never understand the meaning of gratitude. You will not understand the meaning of hard work. Every smile on your lips. It's all fake, because there are only tricks and lies to make the smile look!" diana Ketus said, Dilla speaks a thousand languages. Hana asks Diana to be quiet. Although Hana was hurt by Dilla's words, but not as appropriate Diana hated Dilla. It would be no good if hate was repaid. But it will end, when hatred is reciprocated with compassion.

"Diana, forgive me for always hurting your heart. I realize my attitude all along is not worth forgiving. I just want to start with a clean heart. I want to forget the rivalry that once existed between us!" said Dilla, Hana nodded but Diana shook her head. Hana turned to look at Diana. However with the same gaze, Diana countered firmly to Hana's gaze. Diana would not believe Dilla's words. It won't be easy for someone to change. Moreover, the competition between the three of them had become an obsession for Dilla.

"Dilla, don't think too much about Diana's words. If you want to change, never half-do everything with sincerity. Not everyone will believe it right away. Prove it by deeds and not words. Because everything that is sincere will be easily felt and seen. Instead a lie will be revealed someday. So be careful with your speech and attitude!" hana said kindly, Dilla silently stared. He looked at Hana's always smiling face. Even Dilla could feel the sincerity that Hana had just said. There's shame in Dilla. Because Hana's warm attitude always reply with insults. Dilla had always underestimated Hana, never did Dilla want Hana to surpass her.

"Why are you still so good to me? I always destroyed you. I've always wanted to see you slump and cry in the corner of class. I feel happy every time I see you sad. Aren't I a bad person? You should hate me, not love me!" said Dilla, Hana shook her head weakly. He never wanted to hold a grudge against anyone? Including Dilla or someone else. Life is only once a loss when it has to be filled with hatred.

"Dilla, I don't deserve to hate or blame others. I'm not a perfect human being. Sometimes I make mistakes too. So you and I both have the right to apologize and forgive. Everything that happens between us is nothing more than a self-learning and a path to maturity. Any competition is nothing but a form of juvenile delinquency. So where's your mistake? Which requires me to forgive you or even hate you. Maybe at that time, I was too weak and afraid to defend myself. The old Hannah is not the present one. I began to learn the meaning of appreciating, Diana was in every of my joys and sorrows long ago. If I used to confine myself, blame the path of destiny and inferiority for my poor condition and a piece of kara. Now I'm much stronger, because Diana is right next to me. He who never looked me in the eye. Now I appreciate his attention, so I dare to face the world. So you don't have to apologize to me. What happened will be a memory? But if you come this time, to try to compete with me again. It all depends on your decision, honestly I'm getting tired and want to give up the pursuit of happiness. Because actually a happiness is not pursued, but has been arranged with different portions!" hana said, Diana nodded in agreement. Instead, Dilla focused on looking into Hana's eyes and lips as she spoke. Dilla sees honesty without lies. Hana's words were like flowing water without any obstructions. Everything just flows. Words that relieve the thirst for understanding in Dilla's life. Cooled Dilla's arid heart, feeling less affection. Had Dilla not been ashamed, it would have felt like she was acknowledging Hana's cleverness and wisdom.

"There's no way you're this sincere. Are you not disappointed or sorry when you give the opportunity to study abroad. Don't you hate Rafa? Everything you've been through, a little much because of his negligence while driving? It is impossible to forgive and accept without complaining about all the trials in your life. I won't believe it, you always sincerely accept the insults for the humiliation that befell your life!" said Dilla a little cynical, Diana stared intently at Dilla. He doesn't accept Dilla doubting Hana. Instead Hana shook her head by putting on the sweetest smile. Dilla was increasingly astonished by Hana's way of thinking. As if everything you say is just nonsense.

"I'm just an ordinary woman full of weaknesses. It is impossible for me to accept with sincerity all insults. It is not easy to forgive all the mistakes of Rafa. Without great inner upheaval. Moreover, it is very unlikely that I am happy not disappointed. When with my hands, I give you a chance of life changing at that moment. But behind all my apologies, sincerity, and sincerity. There's a reason I have to choose that path. Without thinking of complaining and being disappointed, even regretting having done all that. I'm sure you'll understand how to think. When you're in my position!" said Hana, Dilla was silent. Actually from the beginning Dilla met Hana. Just wanted to explore the facts behind all Hana's decisions. Dilla wants to expose Hana's ugliness behind Rafa. Dilla never believed, if Hana forgave Rafa easily, except for the comfortable life she lived. From the beginning Dilla sat in front of Hana. Since then his phone has been connected to Rafa. Dilla wants to put Hana to shame in front of Rafa.

"Just talk about you, Dilla. From the beginning, Hannah was telling the truth. You ask, Hana answered according to the reality she experienced. Do you believe it or not? It all depends on your judgment, but with a note do not doubt the honesty of my best friend Hana!" diana said in emotion, Dilla smiled cynically at Diana's defense. Deep down, Dilla was jealous of Hana. When others insult and doubt Hana's sincerity. There was Diana who firmly defended and became a shield for Hana.

"I will not be able to hate or blame Rafa for the deaths of my parents. Although I was honestly hurt, I cried every time I saw Rafa's face. It was as if I had seen my parents. But what happens is nothing more than an accident that can happen to anyone? Including us who are just ordinary people. If we are not negligent, of course we are the ones who experience the negligence. So does Rafa who must be in a negligent position. To make my parents die. Even if we think more deeply, Rafa is only an intermediary of the path of destiny that my parents must accept. Besides the smile of my son Fathan that will disappear if I don't forgive Rafa's brother. I'm a mother who can't take away my son's smile. For an endless revenge. As a woman we are destined to give up, but not lose. We always put the interests of others first so that everyone is happy. Either it's for the sake of the husband who became our priest. Or for the sake of a child born from the womb with love!" hana said, Dilla looked embarrassed. He stared at the empty floor. Hana's real thinking shattered her doubts all along.

"Dilla, I gave up college abroad not just for the smile of your parents. But I feel like I would never be able to fight against the world without Diana. If I had left, I would have lost the friend who had always supported me. You yourself know, whenever you and other friends laugh and sit down to eat in the cafeteria. Diana and I sat together in the library. Diana forgot her lunch just for the sake of accompanying me who couldn't possibly go to the cafeteria. When you plan to go on an outing with friends in class. Laughter is heard throughout the classroom. Me and Diana were just sitting in the corner of the classroom. Look at you guys who look happy. Now tell me, is it possible that I will be able to survive abroad. All this time I lived with limitations. I could have not given it to you at that time. But for the smile of your parents. I gave it to you. Because my limitations will never be able to realize all my dreams!" hana said, Dilla nodded slowly. Diana hugged Hana tightly, Hana's words piercing deep into the recesses of her heart. Their friendship has now turned into a close, inseparable brotherhood.

"Now that you're satisfied, you called me on purpose so that I could hear everything. But it seems like your hope is in vain, I want to thank you instead. You made me understand Hana's sacrifice!" said Rafa who suddenly stood beside Hana. Dilla was surprised to see Rafa coming. Diana shook her head in disbelief. If Dilla stays the same, someone who wants to compete with Hana in every way. Including getting Rafa's love.

"Sir Rafa, it's inappropriate for you to say that. Dilla did all that, because she wanted you. Never blame the way, because in love everything feels right. Sometimes love is wrong and in the wrong way!" hana said, Rafa nodded slowly. Rafa kissed Hana's forehead, then squatted down in front of Hana's stomach. Gently kissed Hana's bulging stomach.

"Hana, too kind of your heart. Why do you forgive me for wanting to see you destroyed? Surely your heart is good or you are required to keep giving up. For the hope of others who never have an end. I'm the woman who actually wants to compete with you. You defended without a hint of doubt. Do I have to be happy or sad? When I found out that I was nothing more than a despicable woman expecting love from your husband!" inner Dilla pilu.

"Dilla, I won't forbid you from competing with me for Rafa's love. Not that I'm too confident. But I try to understand the love in your heart. Because love is blind, he doesn't realize where it grows and who does he love? But it would be wise if you see the risks you will face. As a woman we are destined to be in a weak position. No one will blame men when forbidden love blossoms. Only in women are all the mistakes bestowed. All eyes are blind to see the truth. They'll be busy blaming the women. Don't insult yourself by loving Rafa's sister. Prove to the world that your love is holy not to ruin. The choice is yours, will you choose to be the wrong or right lover!" hana said, Dilla looked down.

"Dilla, you'll never be able to follow Hana's thoughts. So better think back. If you want to compete with him!" diana ketus.

"Sir Rafa, we're going home now. My stomach is starting to cramp. I might be too tired!" hana said, Rafa nodded slowly. The two walked slowly away from Dilla.

"Remember Dilla, don't let anyone insult you. Prove you're a strong woman!" hana said, Dilla nodded slowly.
