STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
For Her...

"Assalammualaikum, handsome and beautiful brother. How was the first night of being a newlywed?" greet Davina loudly. Fathan and Annisa turned in unison. Davina smiled faintly at the compactness of Fathan and Annisa. Davina looks cheerful, but her heart and mind are restless.

Since last night Davina couldn't reach Faiq. Although Faiq was busy with his work. He'll reply to a message from Davina. But Faiq did not contact him at all. Let alone calling him, reading and replying to his message not. Faiq ignored Davina's every concern. The restlessness Davina felt kept her up all night. Without Faiq realizing his attitude made Davina worried. Davina came in early in the morning. So that he could meet Faiq.

Davina works as a financial staff at the hospital. Faiq is a specialist at the hospital. Even though working in one place. It wasn't easy for Davina to find Faiq. Faiq's professional attitude hinders the meeting between the two. Sometimes they meet before work starts or when they get home from work. If it's still working hours, Faiq won't see Davina. He'll be upset if Davina insists on meeting him.

Actually Davina wanted to come to Faiq's house. But Davina was embarrassed, as if she needed Faiq badly. That's why he decided to come early. Finally he meets Fathan and Annisa who just happened to come. Davina wanted to ask Faiq about it. He's really not calm. The anxiety made the morning gloomy. Davina doesn't want breakfast. Just want to eat a piece of bread. Really Faiq made his life complicated.

"Glamma!" sahut Fathan and Annisa. Davina's closing in on Fathan. He wanted to lean on Fathan's body. But Fathan dodged, so Davina staggered to the side. Annisa swiftly restrained Davina's pouting body.

"Sorry, but you can no longer lean on me. I belong to someone else. You should have leaned on Faiq. My shoulders are only for Annisa. So there's no place for you to lean!" fathan said, Davina nodded with a smile. Annisa smiled behind her veil. He was happy to hear Fathan keeping his feelings. Fathan put himself above everything. Davina approached Annisa, then hugged Annisa very tightly. Annisa returned Davina's embrace. He already considered Davina as his sister.

"I know now Brother Fathan is married. Only Annisa's sister has the right to hold you. Now even though I can't hold you. I can still hug Annisa's sister. So I lost brother Fathan, but I got sister Annisa!" davina said cheerfully. Davina always felt lonely. As an only child, he felt alone. Her jovial nature makes her easy to get along with. Especially with Fathan who has almost the same character. While with Annisa, Davina felt she had found a sister that she could make a place to complain.

"Working hours are still an hour away. Why have you come? There are meetings or other important matters. You may have an appointment with Faiq at the hospital!" blandly Annisa with a smile, Davina shook her head weakly while looking down. Davina held Annisa's hand. He rested his head on Annisa's shoulder. Fathan saw the look on Davina's face turned sad. He felt that someone was being cheered on by Davina.

"Darling, it looks like someone is in a cold war. Just look at his eyes, look red and tired. Maybe he didn't sleep all night. He just wants to lean on me. Davina just remembered me, after Faiq wasn't around!" fathan said to Annisa. He wants to tease Davina. I hope Davina says the problem. But the other night, Davina remained silent. Annisa clasped Davina's hand. Encourage Davina to keep smiling.

"Here you go, you better go to the office. I'll accompany Davina. Maybe he was missing Faiq. I'll take him to meet Faiq. I have an appointment with doctor Faiq anyway!" annisa said softly, Davina shook her head. He did not want to meet Faiq if assisted by Annisa. Although actually in his heart Davina was eager to meet Faiq. Fathan smiled faintly, he had already guessed that Davina was having trouble with Faiq.

"Honey, it looks like Davina wants to meet Faiq alone. Let them solve their own problems. They're grown, don't interfere too much. Look behind you. The man you're talking about is walking here. He looks more handsome in his white coat. There was a beautiful woman with him!" fathan said, Davina took off her arms. He looked in the direction Fathan said. Annisa also turned her head, they both saw Faiq walking with a woman.

As soon as Davina lowered her head, she held onto her chest that felt tight. I don't know the momentary jealousy that suddenly appeared. Or is this an initial premonition of the entrance of another love in Faiq's heart. Annisa and Fathan see things differently than Davina. The strange gawk became increasingly visible as Faiq stood in front of Annisa and Fathan.

"Since last night Faiq was in the hospital. There was an emergency patient, so he had to stay overnight in the hospital. The woman was the daughter of the patient Faiq was treating. Don't think shit. The two of them have no more relationship. Only doctors and patient families!" whispered Annisa softly, Davina nodded very slowly. No sound came out of her little lips. His voice seemed to disappear swallowed by the tightness that Davina felt.

"Doctor Annisa, you're finally here. I have been waiting for you ever since. The patient's condition declined overnight. But this morning it improved a little. I just need your direction, so that patients get faster treatment!" said Faiq, Annisa nodded slowly. Faiq had a glance at Davina who continued to look down. Davina remained silent, however, unmoved. It was as if he did not consider the existence of Faiq. Fathan smiled wryly as he looked at Davina who was starting to get jealous.

"Darling, I'm off to the office. The atmosphere is starting to get hot. I don't want to burn with the flames of jealousy. I can be hot cold, that one hot out of jealousy. While others were acting cold beyond the iceberg!" fathan said to Annisa, Annisa kindly nodded. He pulls Fathan's hand, you kiss the back of his hand. Fathan is about to kiss Annisa. But he said, Annisa nodded weakly. He felt ashamed when he was looked at by Faiq and the others.

"Faiq, good luck convincing Davina. Don't be too cold as a man. Davina wants to be pampered too!" fathan whispered to Faiq. In wonder Faiq turned his head, as if he did not understand the meaning of Fathan's words. Fathan leaves Annisa.

"Go!" sahut Faiq, Fathan chuckled at Faiq who was confused. Davina kept her head down, she felt a stranger among them all. But leaving suddenly was very disrespectful. Davina tried to calm herself down.

"Doctor Faiq, we better talk in my room. We must immediately determine the treatment for patients as soon as possible. So that the worst risk can be avoided!" annisa said softly, Faiq nodded in agreement. Zahra smiled as she nodded slowly. The patient Faiq was treating was none other than Zahra's father. He had an accident, but the facilities in the village were inadequate. He had to be taken to a big hospital. Zahra has Faiq's cell phone number. He contacted Faiq, asking for his help to take care of his father. That's why since last night, Faiq was in the hospital.

"Thank you very much, you and doctor Faiq have been willing to take care of my father. Even Faiq's doctor hasn't slept all night. Thank you so much. I don't know, what would happen if you weren't around?" zahra said, cupping both hands. Annisa nodded while smiling behind her veil.

"Just calm down, Zahra, I will help you as much as I can. Lucky you called me last night. So I can come straight to take care of your father!" faiq said casually, Zahra nodded in agreement. Davina stepped back, her heart ached. He was agitated at the thought of Faiq who could not be contacted. But Faiq casually said that if he felt lucky he could help Zahra.

"*For her you ignored me. The message I sent. Let alone you reply to it, just read it you will not have time. At home I was restless thinking of you without news. But you are busy thinking about others. I feel so fucked up without hearing your voice. But it looks like you're okay without me. Did he distract you? I realize there is a time, but am I wrong if I hope to be first. It's wrong of me to want to know your condition. Maybe I mean nothing to you, compared to your patients. I'm just an ordinary woman who loves lak*i-an extraordinary man. Someone who's trying to warm the iceberg in your heart. Will I have to give up now or will I have to fight. I don't know if I'm confused myself. I better shut up, try to find some calmness behind the anxiety!" inwardly Davina was sad, she did not see the look on Faiq's face. Only their voices rang Davina's heart.

"Sorry everyone, excuse me. It's time for me to come in!" davina said briefly, he looked up farewell to Annisa and Faiq and Zahra. Davina was no longer able to stand between them all. Davina felt foreign and useless.

"Wait, why do your eyes look tired? Did you stay up last night? Why did you leave anyway? There's still half an hour before the working hours come in!" said Faiq lirih while holding Davina's hand. Davina politely brushed off Faiq's hand, then shook her head in a sign of disagreement with Faiq's opinion. Accidentally Faiq saw Davina's tired eyes. The condition of Davina who is easily tired is well understood by Faiq. Many times Davina fell ill just from staying up late. Many times Faiq was angry when he saw Davina exhausted.

"Sorry doctor Faiq, I have to go. I feel there is no point in being here. I have no medical expertise. I am just an ordinary accountant. So I better go. One more thing, thanks for your attention. I've been fine until now. You better focus on your father's health mbak Zahra. Don't mind me, excuse me!" davina said feelingly, Faiq was flabbergasted at Davina's reply. Davina's cold attitude was very strange. Faiq felt every word Davina wanted to corner him.

"Davina, what are you saying? Why do you talk to me? What are you thinking?" said Faiq, Davina does not care about Faiq's words. He kept walking away. Her heart was too sore to know, Faiq received another woman's call. Ignoring the phone call from him. Although all of that is the responsibility of Faiq as a doctor. But Davina is also Faiq's responsibility as a fiancee.

"Sorry I have to go, love you my choice. With you my dream. To be your makmum my hope. Silence to see you with another woman. Sorry I haven't been able to. Let me set this heart. I love you, not restrain you. I love you, not hurt you. Genuine love will not compel, but understand. I'm learning to understand you. I love you, my future priest!" davina continued walking without looking.

"Faiq, if men can be selfish and feel right. So women behave the same, even more than the attitude of a man. Don't ask, but look with your heart. Then you can understand what happened to Davina?" annisa said, then walked towards her room. Leaving the pensive Faiq alone.
