STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Ahcmad Faiz Akbar's

Since Raihan officially became his fiancee. Vania was being a little warm to Raihan. No more indifference, instead Vania began to appreciate every treatment Raihan. Vania no longer fortifies herself as she once did. Vania begins to receive Raihan's attention. As Raihan's affection for her. Vania did not want to continue being cold and independent. Sometimes Vania had to give in, so that no heart would be hurt. All this time Vania's attitude was outrageous. He was always indifferent to the attention of Raihan who made the relationship as if away.

This afternoon Raihan wants to have lunch with Vania. Usually Vania will refuse on the grounds of busyness. Both Raihan and Vania rarely meet, due to their respective busyness. But for Raihan to meet with Vania will never be missed. No matter how busy Raihan is, he will be there or come when Vania contacts him. Instead Vania began to agree to every invitation Raihan. At least he appreciates the struggle Raihan took time to meet him. It is highly inappropriate for him to continue rejecting his full invitation of sincerity.

This afternoon Vania and Raihan promised to meet at one of the cafes. It's not far from the old school. Coincidentally also the owner of one of Vania's upperclassmen. But Vania doesn't know the upperclassman very well. Raihan and Vania promised to meet at the cafe. Both are not far from the cafe. Meet on an active day, making both must be smart to steal time. They do not want to be in personal interest. They ignore their duties as workers

Raihan as a boss never set a bad example. He never took a vacation for no apparent reason. Therefore Raihan is able to become a respected leader. The company he led became a company with a stunning success rate. He and Fathan became businesspeople who could not be doubted. In the view of his employees, Raihan is firm and warm. Although the warmth of Raihan keeps the cold that will not be easily melted. Raihan won't receive any attention from anyone? As long as the attention is self-serving hope for his love.

Vania came in half an hour early. The meeting was over before lunch time. He can't go back to the office. Finally he asked Fathan for permission to have lunch. Vania decides to wait for Raihan at the cafe. It just so happened that Vania was carrying some books inside her backpack. At least Vania won't get tired of waiting for Raihan who hasn't come. When Vania gets to the cafe. He stopped for a moment in front of his school. A SMP that was not very popular at that time. Although Vania comes from a wealthy family. He never chose a school in the right favorite. Vania wants to live in simplicity. But now different schools become favorite Junior High School. School with complete facilities. Schools are the target of parents. So that his son will be a successful child in the world and the hereafter. The Vania school prioritizes religious education. Formal education is good too.

Upon arrival in the cafe, Vania chose to sit on the edge of the window. From where he sat, he could look outside into the prakiran place. Vania can see Raihan coming. After finding a seat. Vania pulled out her reading book. He sat very relaxed. Private Vania who is relaxed about the environment. He doesn't care much about his surroundings. Vania drifted in her books. Without him noticing, a pair of eyes kept watching him. Vania is not a very curious person. Vania did not want to interfere, rather did not care about others. That's why he doesn't see people around him. Even he would never realize, when someone was watching him.

"Vania Aulia Azzahra, the girl who always lived in her book. A girl who will forget by being around and disappearing in her world. Always with the same book, the legendary love story!" faiz said while smiling. Vania took down the book that covered her face. With a slightly surprised look on her face, Vania looked at the man in front of her. Vania put her book on the table. At first glance Vania forgot the boundary between the two. Vania continued to stare at the man before her. Smile and hospitality ever in his childhood.

"Asthagfirullah!" said Vania Lirih while rubbing her chest. Sontak Vania lowered her head, as she remembered the limits of her gaze. Vania dissolves into an undeserved shock. Vania seemed to have forgotten her current status. Many times Vania had said itigfar, she had made a mistake. Vania looked at the face she should not have. Vania forgot her status. Faiz smiled looking at Vania's clumsy demeanor. With courtesy Faiz greeted Vania. He is the owner of the cafe. As well as the older sister class Vania first.

Ahmad Faiz Akbar, the beautiful name that once filled the days of Vania. Classmates who introduced him to faith and Islam. Someone who made him understand the meaning of faith and Islam. The man who made him understand the boundaries between men and women. He was a classmate who was active in religious activities. The melodious voice that is always heard in the school mushola speker. A voice that reminds the school. Pause for a moment with his duty to remember His Creator. Fais is also the head of the osis that is so warm to his class siblings. Idol of young girls who know the love of monkeys. But always rejected with a smooth and polite. For Faiz only on his prospective masters. His love will be broken. Simple principles that make Vania amazed and stunned by the figure of Faiz.

"Finally after all this time we met. I didn't expect you to come to my cafe. How are you doing now? I honestly don't recognize you. You changed 180°, now your face is covered perfectly with a veil. I recognize you only through the books you read!" faiz said kindly, Vania nodded slowly. It wasn't just Faiz who had not expected to meet her. Vania was much less hopeful. Moreover, Faiz greeted and recognized himself through the book he read. In the past Vania could only stare at Faiz through her classroom window which happened to be close to the mushola. Vania always steals glances, while Faiz is in the mosque. Never Faiz and Vania straight greeting. They met once accidentally. The first and last meeting for both. It was also a meeting that made them get to know each other.

"How can you recognize me with a book? Many other women read the same book. You could have misrecognized!" vania said softly without even looking at Faiz's face. Faiz smiled at Vania's words. Faiz would never get me wrong. Two years he saw Vania reading the same book. So he wouldn't misidentify people. If Vania stares at Faiz from her classroom window. Faiz was always watching over Vania while she was reading books. Vania always sits under a large mango tree next to her class. Vania never realized, when Faiz noticed it because Vania would dissolve in her books. Vania will forget the time and surroundings, when reading a book.

"I wouldn't be wrong, for two years I've seen you read the same book. For two years I admired you in silence. My heart will not misidentify, the heart that has bound it!" faiz said, as Vania looked up at Faiz. Finally he saw two beautiful eyes Faiz. A taste that should never have existed. A sense of wrong and inappropriate to come back sticking out.

"I'm honestly happy to hear your sweet voice. A never-tired voice reminds the neglectful servants. A voice that calms the heart with holy verses. A voice that always calls for the greatness of the creator. I never regret meeting you. Your figure reminds me of faith and Islam. It is you who awakened me. How I neglected to be a servant. Your face that once made me worry. I deserve to be happy now, when I am no longer halal for others. Now that things have changed, this feeling doesn't deserve to exist. If your honesty had been spoken, decades ago. Maybe it's your hand that I'm holding, but everything has changed. I am different, my heart is owned and does not deserve to be owned by you anymore. This is called the path of destiny! Meet when you can't meet. Love when you cannot love. Hope there can be no hope anymore. Everything is different!" inner Vania looked at Faiz, then looked down weakly.

"Sorry!" vania lirih said, a word that answers the expression of Faiz's heart.
