STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Who's He???

The cold morning wind touched the young doctor's face. He stood up carrying a backpack containing medical devices and medicines. Muhammad Faiq Alhakim, the handsome young man who captured the hearts of all the villagers. Not only because of his good looks, but also his friendly attitude and cold hands. Faiq took care of the villagers painstakingly and responsibly. Faiq never distinguished them from each other. He treated the villagers equally. Without distinguishing the rich and the poor. Only the woman who wants to attract his attention. Faiq was cold and indifferent. Not that Faiq was arrogant, but he did not want to hurt a woman's heart anymore. For Faiq will never be able to love another woman, unless Davina Nur Latifah is the daughter of her parents' best friend.

This morning Faiq left very early. The Dawn had just revealed its face. The light is still not too hot. An extremely cold morning wind pierced through Faiq's bones. The morning dust is still clearly visible, blocking the view. The morning harmony is so real, cold and fresh without air pollution. The atmosphere of the countryside away from the crowds, save the untouched beauty. Faiq stood right in front of the hut where he was staying temporarily. Feel and admire the natural beauty of the morning. Faiq felt the clean morning air without any pollution. Faiq was comfortable with the rustic atmosphere. His mind was calm without any burden. The right choice Faiq went to the village. To make his heart wound a little healed.

For almost two weeks Faiq was in a remote area. Away from the hustle and luxury facilities he always used. The village is located outside the city. Located hundreds of kilometers from the city, it takes hours to get to this village. Long and long journey to get to the village. In the least did not dampen the desire of Faiq to volunteer. Helping others when stricken. Even Faiq had to live with very minimal facilities. Just a smart phone, Faiq can't use it.

The house where Faiq lived was far from decent. Only half of his room. No chairs or other luxury items. Faiq had to sleep on the floor mat. The bathroom is not like the bathroom in your home. Only a small room without a roof was sealed with bamboo walls. Located behind the house that Faiq occupied. Water does not come from the faucet, but the well that is right next to the bathroom. All are far from worthy. But there is no remorse in Faiq. He felt comfortable in this village.

The hospitality of the villagers and the cool atmosphere of the village made Faiq feel at home. Villagers who are illiterate, do not understand the times and are not educated. Keep a heart full of sincerity and full of sincerity. Faiq saw the stupidity wrapped in innocence. Without thinking and being able to think badly about others. Living side by side without competing. Not wanting to change for the better. But the sense of brotherhood becomes a principle of life that is upheld. Gotong royong became one way of coexistence. Faiq felt like he had found a new family in this village. He feels warm and comfortable. Far from worrying and worrying.

"Doctor Faiq!" greeting Zahra, Faiq turned his head while putting on a knotty smile. Seen a village girl, her age was a little adrift with Faiq. She was the daughter of the village chief who went on to college in the city. He returned to the village after graduation, to become a teacher. Hoping to make the children in his village forward for the development of the village. Noble thoughts that will never exist in the minds of teenagers today. Zahra is the only daughter of the village chief. He studied to become a mathematics teacher. He came back with high expectations. He became the first teenager to make his village grow and develop. He wanted to see his village leave behind ignorance and lag. So that all children in his village can go to school without having to go to the city at an expensive cost.

"What's wrong? I have to leave immediately. Today I will examine the citizens who are on the upper side. I've made an appointment with Fahmi, but until now in hasn't come!" said Faiq coldly without a smile, Zahra looked down embarrassed. Faiq's cold attitude made Zahra feel guilty and ashamed. Zahra did not expect that Faiq would be cold to her. During the week Zahra knew Faiq, thinking he could be a friend who could be close to Faiq. But it seems his thinking was wrong. Faiq remains cold to the woman who wishes him love and attention.

Zahra felt clumsy looking at Faiq's cold demeanor. Zahra thought of his introduction for over a week. This will make the two more intimate. Not infrequently Faiq and Zahra headed to the affected places together. Even Faiq lived next door to his house. But all that closeness did not necessarily make Faiq warm to him. Faiq may be warm to the villagers, but it will be very cold to the woman who hopes for his love. For his love has been fully given to a woman who cannot possibly be his.

"Doctor Faiq, Fahmi can't come with you. He and father must go to the village boundary. There will be help for the village. They welcome guests who come. Fahmi was asked to be on standby, so that the guests were not disappointed. I came, wanted to offer myself. Accompanying doctor Faiq went upstairs. I'll give a briefing to kids who haven't been to school!" zahra was clean and polite. Faiq remained silent, thinking hard to refuse or accept Zahra's offer. Faiq could not have gone with Zahra who was not his believer. He didn't want any misunderstanding to happen.

The place that Faiq was going to was very far away and the road was steep. If you bring Zahra, of course Faiq must piggyback on him. But if he came alone, Faiq would be overwhelmed. His fellow doctors were busy in makeshift tents. Most of them refused to go there. Faiq went silent daydreaming, weighing both the good and the bad. Going alone with the village chief's daughter will cause gossip. Lama Faiq thought, Faiq finally decided to go alone. Going with Zahra will only bring new problems for him. Better Faiq go alone much safer and quieter.

"Thank you, I better go by myself. It's not good if we both go. Sorry in advance, do not want to refuse your offer or intend to insult you. Besides not mukhrim, your status is that of a village chief's daughter. It will be affected if we both go. How better we avoid slander that will only harm. Believe me, I can do it myself!" ujaf Faiq rejected Zahra's offer, leaving Zahra to walk slowly towards his motorcycle. Zahra was stunned to hear Faiq's courtesy. One of the few men who respects a woman. Not to harass, but to wholeheartedly protect the honor of women. The manly attitude of a man who does not take a chance in narrowness. One more thing that makes Zahra fascinated with Faiq. In addition to his good looks and cleverness, Faiq is able to be polite to the opposite sex. Never thought of harassing.

"Wait for Doctor Faiq, I find out if you'll definitely refuse. I offered myself with thorough preparation. Your thinking is right, it would not be good if we go together with a motorcycle. For the same reason, I have prepared my own motorcycle. I'll drive it myself. So we're not gonna shake hands. Your concern for the villagers' thoughts needn't happen!" zahra said, Faiq shook his head. He refused Zahra's offer. Faiq doesn't want anything to happen to Zahra. It was highly unlikely that Faiq would let Zahra ride her own bike. The road they will walk is not easy. Faiq does not want to take unnecessary reciki.

The journey to the top is very risky. A steep and uphill road. It will not be easy to pass, even though he is a man not necessarily able to pass through it. Especially for Zahra, a graceful woman. It will not fit the bike it uses, with its long hijab and robe. Not to underestimate Zahra's appearance, but Faiq valued Zahra's elegance more and did not want to trouble Zahra. Faiq flatly rejected Zahra's offer and could not be bargained again. Faiq will never accept, if it should trouble Zahra.

"Doctor Faiq, just let Zahra come with you. You know, if the doctor Faiq worried about the safety of Zahra if reckless riding his own motorcycle. Maybe doctor Faiq forgot, Zahra was born and raised in this village. This road is not just a steep road that is difficult to pass, but this road has become a part of Zahra's life. So doctor Faiq need not worry. I believe nothing will happen to Zahra. Moreover, your intentions are good, for the sake of helping others. Now go, it's getting late. I'm afraid you'll be back too late!" said Mr. Ikhsan, Zahra's father as well as the village head. As a father, Ikhsan could see the change in Zahra's attitude. The look on Zahra's face shone as she spoke to Faiq. Pak Ikhsan clearly saw Zahra's different attitude towards Faiq. Only the male Faiq wanted to be approached by Zahra. Never once did Zahra invite or make friends with the opposite sex other than Faiq.

It was not only Zahra who was amazed by the figure of Faiq. As a parent, Ikhsan liked Faiq's attitude and manners. For him it would be very happy if Faiq became his son-in-law. A simple dream that may be realized or even will only be a dream. Seeing the way Faiq behaved to Zahra, all of that seemed very unlikely.

Faiq and Zahra left together. They left on two bikes. During the journey Faiq chose to be behind Zahra. He didn't want anything to happen to Zahra. Although this road is often passed Zahra. But can the disaster come at any time? Faiq takes full responsibility for Zahra's safety. He must not be indifferent to Zahra's safety. He came with Zahra, so he had to go home with Zahra.

...☆☆☆☆☆...

At around 19:00, Faiq and Zahra did not return. Many villagers need Faiq's care. Making Faiq overwhelmed, time seemed not enough to handle the villagers. Not to mention the hospitality of the villagers who entertained Faiq. Although simple and without luxury, Faiq felt that the cuisine served was very delicious. Because it is made with sincerity and gratitude. Faiq can only come down again after praying Isya. Villagers felt heavy taking Faiq home. But Faiq still had to go back to the house he occupied. It was late at night and the streets were dark. Faiq and Zahra still have to go home. Faiq continues to look after Zahra, however is Zahra his responsibility?

At 21:00 wib, Faiq and Zahra arrived at the village chief's house. The atmosphere of Zahra's house is still very bright. There was a car and a boxcar parked sweetly in the front yard of Zahra's house. The house is not so bright. Make Faiq can't recognize whose car? He could not clearly see the car that was in the village chief's courtyard.

The togetherness of Faiq and Zahra made both of them forget about the surrounding. Faiq was unaware of the many pairs of eyes that were watching. Everyone saw Faiq's heartfelt laughter while joking with Zahra. Faiq turned into a very warm person. Faiq admired Zahra's gentle and loving nature. Faiq looked with a sense of motherhood, Zahra embraces the village children who drop out of school. The noble ideals of a girl who knew the outside world. But decided to return to the village. Devoting himself to the progress of his village, where he was born and grew up all this time. The noble thoughts that Faiq is also fighting for. Faiq tries to make everyone healthy by becoming a doctor. Faiq did not expect anyone to have trouble getting treatment just because of the cost. Faiq's ideals since he was a child, the glory of the heart he received from his mother.

Lama Faiq and Zahra spoke to each other, the night wind began to feel cold piercing the bones of the two. Faiq walked towards the house where he was staying temporarily. Accidentally his eyes met Davina's sharp gaze. As soon as Faiq was surprised, he did not expect to see Davina here. Not only Davina, Faiq also saw Fathan, Annisa and Rey. I don't know what brought them here? One thing is for sure, their arrival makes Faiq a heart spot. Moreover, Davina's sharp gaze, able to make Faiq's heart feel like jumping. He saw clearly Davina's jealousy. The only woman in his heart.

"Faiq, you just got home!" greeting Fathan, Faiq nodded weakly. Faiq approached Fathan, Annisa standing side by side with Rey and Davina. The village chief was astonished, why did his guest get to know Faiq? He never realized. If the doctor who served in his village was none other than the son of a successful businessman.

"Sorry Mr. Fathan, you know doctor Faiq. He was a doctor who helped us sincerely, selflessly. There is a relationship between you!" said Mr. Ikhsan, Fathan nodded slowly. Zahra nodded to greet the guests, she then walked inside the house. Zahra was unaware of Davina's jealous gaze. With a smile, the two greeted each other. The village chief stared at Faiq and Fathan alternately. At first glance, he felt that the two were similar. But that thought was immediately discarded. It was highly unlikely that a wealthy doctor, could live in a small hut far from the word luxury.

"He's my younger brother!" sahut Fathan was brief, the village chief was surprised. He did not expect that the doctor was full of simplicity. None other than the son of one of the rich. Indeed Faiq came using a luxury car. But Faiq said it was a service car from the hospital. Even Faiq refused, when the hotel would be rented using village funds. Faiq chose to sleep in this simple house. He doesn't want any facilities. Faiq's simple attitude that instantly captured the hearts of the villagers.

"Sorry Mr. Fathan, we've treated your sister with disrespect!" said Ikhsan sir, Fathan shook his head weakly. While Faiq continued to stare at Davina who was looking down. Faiq felt that something was wrong with Davina's gaze earlier. She does not care about Davina's attention and tends to be cold. But Faiq would never be able to see Davina sad. He was frustrated when Davina's tears came. Faiq could not see Davina's grief.

"She was indeed my sister, but she was never proud of our family treasure. He always lived with his simplicity. So you don't have to apologize. Faiq would be comfortable, if he was not privileged!" said Fathan, Mr. Ikhsan lowered his head. Then looking at Faiq, Fathan had seen the gaze of Faiq who locked Davina tightly. He saw Faiq's love for Davina. But somehow what reason makes Faiq does not want to confess his love?

"Doctor Faiq, dinner's ready. Please wait inside. I'll have Zahra present it!" said the village chief, Faiq shook his head weakly. Mr. Ikhsan was surprised to see Faiq's head. He and Zahra had dinner at the house. They had a special banquet.

"Me and Zahra had dinner. I'll clean myself up. While I was taking sister!" said Faiq, then left Fathan and Davina who felt crowded. Faiq's warm attitude to the village chief's daughter disturbed Davina's inner self. There is a great pain. Davina was no longer able to endure the pain.

Davina's bowing isn't without reason. He was crying tears that he never expected. Her tears were dripping without excuse. When his eyes saw Faiq laughing with a woman who was so graceful and mature. He seemed to be left out and meaningless in the eyes of Faiq. A man who disturbs his mind and mind. I was joking with another woman. More mature and educated women. Women who might be able to melt Faiq's frozen heart.

Davina felt tight, as her ears heard Faiq's laughter. A smile that was so sincere without coercion, like salt that was sown perfectly in his heart. Disappointed and hurt very much, to make himself weak without bones. Davina felt her world collapse. His hope of meeting with Faiq, making him have to sincerely see the togetherness of Faiq with other women. From the beginning Davina hoped to be happy when she met Faiq. But he had to swallow the bitter truth. That Davina should see Faiq happy with Zahra.

"If I could hope, I want to feel like I wish all I saw was a dream. If I could ask, I would like it to feel like I'm begging you to smile only at me. Muhammad Faiq Alhakim, you are cruel and heartless. You can laugh with other women, but you're upset when you're around me. You were so warm when you talked to him. It was cold talking to me. If your cold attitude were comparable to your concern. I will truly accept it. Why is it that only you are being cruel to me? If this is called love. I will try to accept it, even though my heart and body feel like they are broken. Why should I get hurt and sick? Is this jealous? It hurts, I can't!" inner Davina seemed to want to scream. He sat alone on the terrace. Davina looked up at the night sky. Fathan and Annisa leave Davina alone.

"Why daydream? Did you come here just to daydream. Get inside the house. The night wind is not good for you!" faiq said indifferently, then walked past Davina. Without thinking Davina was jealous to see her closeness to Zahra. Davina looked up for a moment to see Faiq walking past her. He felt Faiq's attention as well as anger.

"Who is the woman you're with? Why does your laughter sound so sincere? I saw a warmth that was never there for another woman. Do he mean to you, is the hand you will hold. Is she the woman who can touch your heart?" davina said softly, then lowered her face. Faiq approached Davina, drawing her face closer. The distance between the two is very close, the breaths of both feel together. Faiq and Davina were able to feel the gusts of napaa respectively.

"Davina Nur Latifah, listen to me carefully. I'm not a lover, I'm a doctor who deals with a lot of people. If you want to be with me, then you must be ready to see me with others. But if you can't, stop and forget me. One more thing, jealousy is only for non-believers. Not believing in the love and loyalty of their partner. So before loving a man like me, understand how I think. After all, seeing your jealousy makes me feel meaningful!" faiq said, Davina looked up. Faiq and Davina stared at each other. In love without a word. Davina heard the word love, but in an instant she felt Faiq's anger. Everything felt mixed with no meaning. Something really hard to decipher.

"Sister Faiq, you are cold and heartless!" davina lirih. Faiq approached Davina. He looked coldly at Davina. The woman he loved, but she hurt intentionally.

"Before feeling the love and warmth of my attitude. You should be able to accept my anger and cold attitude. I don't need a spoiled woman, I need a woman who can support me when I'm weak. If I love you, it means I believe and believe you are a strong woman. The woman who will live with me in joy and sorrow. If you feel inadequate, you better step back. Your tears are too precious to cry for my love. I'm not that good and perfect. Maybe Fathan is better than me!" faiq said, Davina shook her head weakly.

"Fathan will forever be my brother. Your jealousy of Brother Fathan is unwarranted. Now I realize, I'm not the one who doesn't believe in our love. But you think, brother Fathan is among us!"
