STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Ayah

After a night of rain, this morning Vania had a fever. Since childhood Vania is allergic to rainwater. In a moment he was rained on, Vania would immediately get sick. Vania is particularly vulnerable to rainwater. But his disappointment was with Raihan. Keeping Vania quiet, she did not want to look weak in front of Raihan and Amalia. The silence that Vania showed last night. He must be paid for the pain he is now suffering.

Last night after taking Vania home. Raihan can't reach Vania anymore. Many times Raihan contacted Vania, but only the operaator answered. Don't Vania pick up her phone. Since last night Vania's cell phone died. Raihan was drunk when he couldn't reach Vania. His eyes could not be closed last night. Only regrets remain now. Raihan's stupidity makes him further and further away from Vania. The feeling of wanting to be appreciated, even made him quarrel with Vania. Raihan did a stupid thing that he would never forget.

After she woke up last night, Raihan tried to contact Vania this morning. But the result remains the same. Vania's phone still could not be reached. Raihan riled up and worried, he thought about Vania's condition. Raihan is afraid that Vania is really mad at him. While in the car. Vania did not talk or look at him. Vania always threw her face towards the car window. As if Vania doesn't care about Raihan's whereabouts. Vania's silence further added to Raihan's unease. He didn't want to see Vania's anger. Raihan is really sorry.

After a long thought, this morning Raihan decided to go to the Prawira family home. He'll meet Vania in person. Raihan will apologize, will he accept whatever Vania says? As long as Vania doesn't leave him. Raihan will be silent about the consequences of his actions. Without breakfast, Raihan rushed to the Prawira family home. In his mind there was only Vania. He must get an apology from Vania. In any way? Raihan will do whatever Vania says.

Raihan arrives at the Prawira family home thirty minutes later. Raihan saw some cars lined up. One of them belonged to Faiq and Fathan. Raihan's feelings are not good, he's afraid something will happen to Vania. Not usually it is still morning the Prawira family home is crowded. With an agitated and chaotic heart, Raihan entered the house. An ART invited him in. Raihan walked into the house that was no stranger to him. But his steps came to a halt right next to the living room. Both of his eyes were perfectly rounded. Surprised and happy mixed into one. Raihan doesn't believe what he saw.

The first time he met Rizal who was none other than Vania's real father. During this time Raihan only saw the photos shown by his parents. When Rizal came to his house, Raihan was very busy. So they never met. This morning was the meeting Raihan had always hoped for. As if the happy news in the middle of his quarrel with Vania. Raihan is worried about Rizal's arrival. As a result of his dispute with Vania last night. Without anyone realizing, Raihan menwlan his saliva was rough. Raihan was really agitated and afraid to think about his relationship with Vania.

"Come Raihan, don't stand there! You don't want to say hello to your future father-in-law!" rafa said softly, Raihan nodded slowly. He approached Rafa and Rizal. Raihan kissed the backs of his hands alternately. Raihan sat right in front of Rizal. The meeting that made Raihan wrong. He prefers to sit in meetings. Instead of having to sit in front of Rizal her future father-in-law. Raihan really isn't wrinkling. She was afraid that Rizal would think badly of her. Especially after last night. Raihan is afraid that Rizal misunderstands and eventually forbids Vania from marrying him.

"Raihan, you must have known Rizal Vania's real father. He's my brother Kiara's best friend and husband. To my knowledge, this is your first meeting!" said Rafa kindly, Raihan nodded while putting on a knotty smile. Raihan briefly saw Rizal's appearance. A much different appearance from Rafa. Eleven twelve with Vania. If Vania covers her entire body, Rizal always uses a suit of cocoa and sarongs. Appearance worthy said to be the owner and caregiver of the pesantren.

"I'm sorry Raihan is disrespectful. Until this moment I have not been able to visit Rizal's house. Not only because of busyness, but Vania has not allowed me to come to meet with Rizal om. So this first meeting should happen without any preparation!" said Raihan lirih, Rizal nodded slowly filled with authority. Rafa saw clearly Raihan's uneasiness. He understands Raihan's fear when he meets Rizal. Even though he never felt that. But as a man he can feel Raihan's anxiety if Rizal rejects the relationship.

"Raihan, no need to call me om. Just call me a father like Vania. Dad's call sounded melodious in my ears. Ever since I received your parents' proposal for Vania. Since then I've considered you my son!" rizal said softly, Raihan nodded in agreement. In his heart he was happy to have got the green light from Rizal. A blessing for the sake of smooth relations with Vania.

"Dad, is Vania okay? Ever since last night I tried to contact him. But the phone is inactive. I called her this morning, but her phone was not active. There was a misunderstanding between us. Maybe that's why Vania's mad at me. I want to explain to her. I never really wanted to hurt her heart. Don't ask Vania to cancel her marriage with me. Really dad, I never wanted to hurt Vania!" said Raihan was heartless and frightened, but Rafa and Rizal laughed at Raihan who was scared. They would never want to interfere in the affairs of their children. Rafa and Rizal believe his son is able to decide the best of his life. Therefore they will never want to be involved in the disputes of their children.

"Raihan, you never interfere in Vania's affairs. It was my father who betrothed you both. Not for the sake of treasure or the comfortable life of my daughter. But your matchmaking is purely a promise between three friends. Your father and parents, with a record without any coercion. But the way of a soul mate has been written for Vania's daughter's father. Ever since he found out about his match with you. Vania feels confident and confident, if you are the best priest for her and her baby later. Since then, I have not interfered in Vania's decision. Including today, I will not blame or justify your and Vania's attitude. Neither will you ask for the promise of Vania's happiness. It all depends on your windfall. But it seems, you have to be big-spirited to accept Vania's tough attitude. If not your hope of becoming a priest of Vania. There will be memories, because Vania is not easily destroyed!" rizal said, Raihan nodded in understanding. Rafa patted Raihan on the back slowly. He tried to calm Raihan's anxiety.

"Raihan, love needs struggle and sacrifice. Because love is a priceless gift. So never give up on getting Vania's heart again. Later you will realize, Vania's love will make you happy. Remember, men are there to protect women. Women are created to preserve the honor of men. Couples meet with differences not similarities. Because husband and wife live in a household. Not to knock each other down or break each other. Their love is there to complement each other!" said rafa lirih, Raihan was silent. In his heart he was happy to hear their dukunga to him.

" Thank you, I believe in me!" sahut Raihan, Rizal nodded slowly. Raihan's trying to find Vania. But he could not find Vania or even Vania deliberately did not come out so as not to meet her.

"No need to search, Vania has a fever. Since last night his body was hot. Don't greet you, just stand up Vania fell!" said Faiq casually, then sat down in front of Raihan. Raihan was surprised. Had there been no Rizal, he might have been looking for Vania. He would not calm down before seeing Vania.

"Raihan, meet Vania. He's on the couch in the middle room. But please don't be noisy. Since last night he couldn't sleep. So let him rest!" rizal said kindly, suddenly Raihan looked up at Rizal. He was happy to meet Vania.

"Dad, thank you!" said Raihan, Rizal nodded in understanding.
