STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE

STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Davina Nur Latifah's


Night at the Prawira family residence. There is a welcoming dinner for the second son Rafa and Hana. The event tonight was deliberately held very simply. Only the closest relatives and close friends of Fathan and Faiq were invited. This dinner is very special. After a few years, finally the two heirs of the Prawira family can sit at one table. The simplicity of the event cannot be separated from the nature of Faiq who does not like parties. Fathan prepared for tonight's event without Faiq knowing.


The age of Fathan who was too close to Faiq made the two often quarrel. Sometimes just because of a small problem. They can be a big storm. Neither Hana nor Rafa ever meddled in the affairs of both of them. Especially Hana who believes her two sons can solve every dispute that exists. There is no equation, if there is no difference. The dispute becomes the way Fathan and Faiq get to know each other. Understand each other in everything. Indeed, a brother will feel the pain and pleasure of his other brother.


Faiq's departure abroad, became a turning point in Fathan's life. It was then that he realized, his dispute with Faiq was very insignificant. Fathan feels lonely, he realizes that Faiq is his only brother. A brother that Fathan should protect instead of being hostile. Since then, Fathan has promised to protect and protect Faiq. Faiq's attitude was much wiser than Fathan's. Faiq's thinking is always one step ahead. Faiq is always thinking about his future, not wanting to outperform Fathan. But his calm nature, able to think of something that is not thought of by others.


Today after Faiq's return, Fathan became a good brother. He supports whatever Faiq's decision is. Working as an ordinary doctor. Although Faiq can actually work in his own hospital. Rafa is able to make a hospital if Faiq wants to. But the nature of Faiq is similar to Hana. Will you never receive help from anyone? Including Rafa the papa or Fathan the older brother who has the ability not less great than Rafa. Faiq always wanted to look simple. He never used his last name as one of the Prawira family heirs. Faiq wants to be a winner with his own effort and hard work.


Around 19:00 wib, all guests were present. Diana arrives with Adrian. Her daughter has been coming since afternoon. Princess Diana considered Hana to be a mother. Honestly, Hana lost Annisa. But on the other hand, in his pain he had another daughter. Diana lets Hana close to the princess. So that Hana forgets Annisa a little. Hana and Diana's friendship also declined with her two sons. Fathan and Princess Diana were very close. Even Fathan already considers his daughter Diana like his own biological sister. But Fathan's attitude is inversely proportional to Faiq's. He acts cold to Hana's foster daughter. No one ever knew the reason for Faiq's cold attitude.


Since the afternoon Davina has been helping Hana prepare dinner. Davina has been coming to Hana's house a lot. Sometimes Davina stays when Fathan and Rafa are out of town. Although Fathan considers Davina like a sister, but still Davina is not a mukhirm for Davina. Davina and Fathan are friends with the boundaries that already exist. They never go beyond the limits.


"Davina Nur Latifah!" call Fathan Lirih, Davina turned her head. He saw Fathan standing right behind him. Hana smiles at Fathan and Davina's friendship. A friendship that reminds her of her relationship with Diana. Fathan came into the kitchen on purpose. He wants to take a drink, as well as tease Davina. No one knew Davina kept the flavor on Faiq. But Faiq's indifference, made Davina bury the taste as deep as possible.


"Sir Fathan, coming here surprised me. I thought he was coming!" said Davina annoyed, Fathan chuckled at Davina's annoyance. Fathan clearly knew that Davina was afraid to meet Faiq. Especially with his messy appearance.


The hijab worn by Davina is colorless. Oil sticking everywhere? The gamis he wears are full of sweat. Davina helped Hana with all her heart. Without thinking about his appearance again. Fathan realizes that Faiq saw Davina's performance. Not only would Faiq be cold, he would probably be lazy to see Davina again.


"Why surprised? Do you think Faiq is coming? Until when you will continue to cook. All the guests have arrived, aunt Diana and om Adrian have arrived. Do you want to stay in the kitchen? Sure you don't want to see Faiq!" fathan said, Davina shook her head weakly. He was purposely in the kitchen, so as not to take part in this dinner. Davina just wants to help in the kitchen. Davina doesn't want to meet Faiq. If only a cold look was received. Hana's closing in on Davina. He patted Davina's back gently. Then she blinked her two beautiful eyes.


"Darling, what Fathan said was right? Now get ready, mama has bought you a robe. You can find it in the guest room. If you don't get ready, you won't be at the event tonight either!" hana said softly, Davina nodded slowly. Fathan smiled as he watched Davina take off the apron that was attached to her body. With a lazy face, Davina walked towards the guest room. Which room does he usually use when staying?


"I don't want her to see my beauty. Something only my priests deserve to see. I didn't expect to see Faiq. He and I are different, we are no longer children who know the love of monkeys. We are both adults, what is appropriate and inappropriate we already know. So there won't be any sense of it between us!" suhut Davina cold. Then walk away, leaving Fathan pensive. He saw Davina's cold attitude. Fathan could see the taste was still there, only that Davina wanted to throw it away.


Davina walked slowly towards the guest room. He walked down, though Davina firmly did not expect to meet Faiq. But in his heart he was afraid when the feeling reappeared when he met Faiq. For years Davina improved. He did not want his efforts to be in vain. He did not want to get hurt and felt the pain of Faiq's rejection.


Since studying at the ponpes Davina began to understand the limitations that exist. Davina began to keep her eyes on the opposite sex. Including Fathan, Davina starts to keep her distance. He is not as close as he used to be, there is a distance that states that they are not believers.


BRUUUUUKKKK


"Awwwrss!" said Davina lirih, while rubbing her head. Davina's heart was beating violently. It was not because of his headache that accidentally hit someone. The smell of the body and the warmth felt. Makes his whole body stiff. Davina can recognize whose body she hit. Even if he doesn't see it.


"If the way use both your eyes. If it wasn't you who was wretched. Someone else will be hurt. By looking down you will find something. Keep that view when talking to someone who is not a believer. Not while walking you duck. If I wasn't the one you hit. Maybe your head is swollen!" said Faiq coldly and ketus, Davina remained lowered without daring to look into Faiq's eyes. Davina took a few steps back. He figured out what he hit Faiq. Somehow Davina could sense Faiq's whereabouts?


"Sorry!" sahut Davina is scanty and brief. Davina moved away. He intended to give way to Faiq. Davina didn't want to face Faiq too long. Since the collision Davina's heart beat violently. If it continues like this, Davina may faint and the taste that has disappeared will reappear.


"If just apologizing can solve the problem. There will be many people who continue to make mistakes. You better plant it in your mind. Don't make yourself or others hurt by your attitude. At least you should be able to take care of yourself. In order not to make others anxious thinking of you!" faiq said coldly, then left Davina. Fathan looked from afar at Faiq's cold attitude, accompanied by worry.


"If I could, I wouldn't want to hit you. I never wanted to hurt anyone, especially you. Why do we have to meet in such a bad condition? I know you hate me, even you disgust me. But we can't be friends. After years of your departure. I'm not the old Davina. Now that I've changed, I just want to be friends with you. If my race is unrequited, at least I can be near you. I understand if my race is wrong. For only the priest of my hereafter has the right to think. I want a hand of friendship. So that the taste that once existed does not haunt me. I just want to be friends with you no more. Seeing your smile is not your anger. Feeling the warmth of friendship is not the cold of hatred. Muhammad Faiq Alhakim, as wise as your name. Can't you forget the past. Start the future with a helping hand of friendship. I'm sorry if I hurt you!" inner Davina pilu.
