STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Requests...

A dark night enveloped Faiq's heart. His farewell and his encounter with Davina happened as the rain fell. Never Faiq imagined, after two years he finally saw Davina's face. But it was not the smile he saw. Instead the cold attitude he received. Faiq was happy when he could see Davina. On the other hand he was sad to see Davina's cold attitude.

His meeting with Davina, became the most beautiful gift. Although Faiq must accept Davina's indifference. At least tonight Faiq found out. If Davina is back. Faia will fight for her love. Accepting all the risks that exist. Faiq was sure Davina still loved him. He felt the same longing in Davina's heart. But Davina kept it. For two years Faiq felt guilty. He learned to understand Davina. Without trying to force Davina.

At exactly 23:00 wib, Faiq returned home. He left the show without saying goodbye to Fathan. Faiq went looking for peace of heart. So that tomorrow he can meet Davina in a calm condition. Upon arriving at home, Faiq was astonished to see his house was still brightly lit. Seen a few cars lined up. One of them is the car that Davina drives. At first glance Faiq saw the color and license plate of his car. Faiq also saw the car of his parents. Almost half a year, Hana and Rafa went to the village. They lived temporarily in the village where Rafa's mother was born. A village far from the city. But tonight, Faiq saw his parents' car.

"Faiq, you're home, baby! Mama's been waiting for you!" hapa Hana, just after seeing Faiq enter the house. Faiq was flabbergasted to see Hana and Rafa in the living room. Adrian and Diana also came. Fathan and Annisa are at the dinner table. I don't know what show? Until they all gather.

"Mama!"

"Father!"

"Om and aunt!" greeting Faiq alternately, Faiq approached them all. Politely Faiq kissed the backs of their hands in turn. It was a wonder to see them all gathered. After greeting them Faiq intended to enter his room. Her body was soaked after the rain.

"How are you Faiq? Long time no see you. I heard you became a talented young doctor. The heir of the Prawira family can not be doubted. You both inherited Rafa's nature. Full of ambition and determination!" adrian Rafa's. Faiq and Fathan answered with a smile. Hana approached Faiq, giving him a dry towel. While Diana took Faiq a glass of warm tea. Actually even though Faiq has no relationship with Davina. Diana already considers Fathan and Faiq like her own son. His friendship with Hana, makes an unseen bond of brotherhood.

"If Fathan is similar to Rafa, Faiq is more like Hana. Fathan is ambitious but needs Annisa to sustain him. As for Faiq, weak but feeling strong. Fathan needs Hana like his papa. Faiq felt capable of himself. The bad nature of Hana who does not want to depend on others. Declining on Faiq, instead the spoiled nature of Rafa decreases on Fathan. You two are afraid of not being recognized as their sons!" said Diana, Hana nodded with a smile. Only Fathan and Faia were confused to hear Diana's words.

"Since then you've been talking. Although you all understand, what am I thinking? Now tell me honestly, why are you all getting together? Not since two years ago, mother and aunt Daina lost contact. So you don't know Davina's whereabouts!" faiq said, Hana shook her head weakly. He led Faiq to sit on the sofa. Hana clasped Faiq's hand tightly. Gently Hana patted the back of Faiq's hand.

"Faiq dear, tonight we all want to apologize to you. We all know where Davina is. Mom and Dad met Davina often. Your sister Annisa almost every week calls Davina. One of the most important things, Davina has never been abroad. He was never far from you. But he's not close to you either!" said Hana lirih, Sontak Faiq turned to Hana. He was astonished to hear Hana's words. There was a sense of anger, when he found out everyone was lying to him.

"Mama, why?" said Faiq lirih, Hana lowered her head. He glanced at Rafa, slowly Rafa nodded. Annisa's closing in on Faiq. He gave a file on Davina's health. Faiq read all the data carefully. For Faiq it is very easy to read all the data.

"All of that answers all your questions. Our silence is not without reason, Davina forced us to shut up. We don't dwell, Davina threatens to leave forever. If we tell you the truth!" annisa said softly, Faiq was silent. There was a lot he wanted to say, but his mouth was tightly shut. No words could be said on his lips. All stopped in his throat.

Tap Tap Tap

"Davina!" greet Faiq, he saw Davina standing on the second floor balcony. Balcony overlooking the garden behind his house. Faiq walked half-run. Faiq looked at Davina's increasingly thin body. With trembling hands, Faiq pulled Davina's body. Faiq forgot the boundaries between them. Faiq felt that his attitude was right, nothing else could hold back Faiq's longing and worry.

"Can you let go of your embrace, we're not mukhrim!" davina said softly, Faiq shook his head weakly. He didn't want to let go of his embrace. Faiq hugged Davina very tightly. Warm murmurs flowed in the veins of Faiq.

"Why did you cover it up for me? Am I not worthy of trust? Am I not worthy of your support? Why did you leave me? When you need me, why are you punishing me this much?" faiq whispered, Davina shook her head weakly. Everyone knows Davina's departure isn't to get away from Faiq. His passing was none other than for the sake of his treatment.

"I'm sorry, I don't trust you. Seeing you hurt thinking about me, I'll never be able to. You will always be perfect in my eyes. I don't want to see you disappointed. Your smile is my strong reason, your cry my weak reason. The proof of my departure, made you realize their love. Even I realized, it's only you I've dreamed of!" said Davina, Faiq was silent. Faiq recalled the medical records Annisa gave. Instantly Faiq pulled Davina's body. Now that the two faced each other, Faiq looked at Davina's face that continued to look down. Slowly Faiq raised Davina's chin. The two looked at each other, Faiq stared fixedly at Davina's face.

"Darling, why are you doing all that? Why are you ruining your health? Is all this because of me? Is that how much I hurt your heart? Until you bet your life. You should have punished me!" faiq said softly, Davina shook her head weakly. He stared fixedly at Faiq's face. Davina heard the call she had long dreamed of. A friendly call from Faiq, the priest whom Davina always longs for.

"Not that I bet my life, but my great love is not as strong as my body and my faith. The fear of losing you, your cold attitude towards me. Your charm that captivates the women. It makes my heart always restless and worried. One or two days I can get through it. But it all lasted for months. So I ventured to take sleeping pills. Ever since I've been nervous about you. I'm getting harder to sleep, only by taking sleeping pills can I fall asleep. Until finally that morning, my mom found me over-dosed. I wanted to lean on you back then, but your busy life took care of Zahra's father. Makes me realize I have to be independent. I don't want my love to stand in the way of your success. That's why I ask everyone to keep my condition a secret. Secretly Annisa's taking care of me. But diseases that come from the liver. It will not be easily cured, even with the best medicine. Mama told my condition to Mama Hana. With his advice, I went to calm down at the boarding school. For two years, I've been looking for faith to be worthy of your company. Once I felt unworthy of you, because I was a woman who had experienced depression. But Mama Hana came with affection. He assured me that his son Faiq would only be happy with me. Until finally tonight I dare to meet you!" davina said, Faiq lowered his head. His body felt stiff, he wanted to get angry at him. Davina was hurt because of her indifference. Davina is obsessed with her love for Faiq.

"Sister Faiq, it's all happened. Now I realize that everything that happens is in its way. I was wrong to love you more than I believe. So that I always do not believe in His terms. I doubted everything that happened, I felt it was unfair to me. I'm not the perfect Davina, I have a weak side. Is Brother Faiq willing to be my imam? I used to promise, if the taste is still there. I will ask you to be my priest. Now answer with a calm mind. Whatever decision you make, I will accept!" said Davina, Faiq took off Davina's body. He walked backwards, Faiq took something off his neck.

"Davina, I never doubted being your priest. This ring is always near my heart. The bond that was ever between us. Sticking right in the heart beating just for your sake. You're not the one asking, I'm the one asking. Does this ring fit around your ring finger. We are separated enough. Time has proven, my love is unwavering. Your pain proves your love is sincere to me. There's nothing we need to fear. Everything will end happily, I will be your back. You don't need treatment from anyone else. I'll take care of you, I'm enough to be someone else's doctor. Now I'm gonna be a doctor to my mother!" faiq said, Davina nodded slowly.

"Sister Faiq, don't hug me anymore. If I had thought of it as your worry. But for the second time. I'd think, if it was your naps. Halal me, after that you have the right to hug me!" davina said softly, her hands crossed in front of her chest. Davina blocked Faiq's body from approaching.

"Sorry!" said Faiq, while scratching his nape that does not itch.
