STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Love is Appreciating

Tonight there's a dinner at Hana's house. Raihan's extended family is coming to talk about Vania and Raihan's wedding day. Since morning there was a commotion in the kitchen. Everyone is busy preparing for tonight's event. Because later tonight will be a proposal event. Raihan will not come alone. There will be many relatives who participate want to see the bride-to-be Raihan. Amalia is no exception who was specially invited by Raihan's mother.

After tonight, tomorrow at exactly 09.00 wib. The marriage contract will be carried out at the KUA office. Vania doing ijab qobul in KUA. Because Vania wants to carry out marriage contracts simply. Raihan agreed to Vania's request with a note that her wedding party must continue. Raihan wants to give a memorable party for Vania. She doesn't want her wedding to be simple. Not wanting to party, but he wanted to give the happiness that Vania should feel.

After a very heated discussion between the two. Finally it was decided that the kobul hijab would be done in KUA. While the party will take place at one of the hotels managed by Raihan. Likes not like, Vania must follow Raihan's wishes. Later Raihan the priest whose steps must always be followed by Vania. Half-hearted and with various conditions. Raihan and Vania are getting married to a pretty good show. The first wedding party in the Prawira family that was held with great fanfare.

After all the excitement that happened. Finally night arrived, exactly at 19:30 wib. Raihan's extended family came with his relatives. They came in a couple of fancy cars. Vania peeked out from the balcony of her room. He glanced at the crowd that was happening. He sees Raihan using his favorite sports car. Raihan doesn't drive his own car. This evening he brought his personal driver.

"Raihan, you look handsome tonight. I've started to smell the bride's fragrance. I fully believe, if you will be my sister-in-law. My little Vania will be your wife. You have broken down the iceberg. You're so great, I'm proud of you!" said Fathan Lirih, while hugging Raihan. Fathan stood in front of the welcoming guests. He was the first to congratulate Raihan. Raihan smiled with great joy at Fathan's words. In less than a day he'll have a full Vania. His love for Vania will be truly holy.

"I hope your little brother doesn't resign at the last moment. Not that I'm afraid of embarrassment, but losing Vania would make me lose my mind. I should be able to marry her. Otherwise I could be completely insane. Your sister makes me a palanquin!" raihan whispered, Fathan chuckled at Raihan's words. She did not expect Raihan to really love Vania. A love that can not be doubted.

"I believe you can make Vania happy!" fathan replied, Raihan nodded slowly. Faiq looks at the interaction between Fathan and Raihan. Faiq could guess what they were talking about? Finally Faiq approached them. He whispered something that made Raihan immediately rush in. Fathan was curious about what Faiq said to Raihan. When he asked Faiq, not Fathan's question. Faiq shrugged both of his shoulders. As if he didn't know the answer to Fathan's question?

After all the guests went inside. Vania came out of her room. Vania uses maroon floral motifs. The hijab and veil that match the gamis make Vania look perfect. Vania comes flanked by her two sisters-in-law, Annisa and Davina. The appearance of Hana's second daughter-in-law was perfect. Annisa's distended stomach makes her look charming. Annisa's day of labor is approaching. Annisa is helping as much as she can.

"Vania, lift your head! Look Raihan is perfect. He's wearing the shirt you picked yesterday. You guys look so good!" whispered Davina, Vania smiled as she elbowed Davina's stomach slowly. Vania is embarrassed when Davina offends the shirt she accidentally bought for Raihan yesterday. How Vania is not ashamed to remember the moment when she bought the shirt. Nearly two hours of Vania surrounding the shopping center. Just for the sake of a shirt that Raihan would definitely like. But Vania is afraid that the shirt she chose makes Raihan look bad. Davina gets upset to see Vania back and forth in the store. Always go out empty-handed.

"Sister Davina, don't take it anymore. I am ashamed to remember. I promised I wouldn't talk about it anymore!" pinta Vania said softly, Davina nodded while holding back a laugh. Davina felt very funny when she saw the look on Vania's pouting face. Davina will never forget those memories.

Vania sat right in front of Raihan. Vania had glanced at Raihan's gawking face. Raihan was really amazed to see the appearance of Vania. Simple but very charming. Finally all the events were carried out without any obstacles. Raihan gave her a ring as a sign of engagement. A ring with one diamond eye, beautifully embedded in Vania's finger. The event continued with dinner together. Raihan and Vania sat in rows. Then without Vania noticing, Amalia approached her. Vania has never been vengeful or angry at Amalia.

"I never thought a woman like you would be Raihan's sister's wife. I have to lose to a geeky woman like you. I don't know what Raihan's brother saw from you? One thing is certain, one day he will regret choosing you. I feel right away from you. Because you're a friend who never wanted to see me happy!" said Amalia ketus and cynical, Vania shook her head weakly. Why can't Amalia ever forgive Vania? Although it is not the fault of Vania, if many men like it. The man Amalia loved. Many times Vania apologized, trying to explain the real problem. Telling Amalia, that she never had any taste in the men she was appraising.

"Don't say much to you!" amalia said angrily, her hands ready to float into Vania's face. Raihan held Amalia's hand. He gets angry when Amalia slaps Vania. Sontak Raihan threw Amalia's hand rough.

"Don't you dare touch it, if you don't want to see my anger. I appreciate you for our parents' friendship. Don't make me regret ever considering you a sister. Vania everything for me. For her sake I can do something you would never imagine!" said Raihan angry, the look on Raihan's face red restrain anger.

"Son Raihan he doesn't deserve your love. She's just a lowly woman and a shackle. Vania will only embarrass you!" amalia said ketus, Raihan getting angry. With full of emotion Raihan raised his hand. He was about to slap Amalia.

"Don't raise your hand to a woman. Remember you were born of a woman. Appreciate Amalia as much as you appreciate Mother Salma. I will not be sincerely held by hands that are easily raised on women. Amalia is hurt by our togetherness. But you should not be angry with him. Your good looks fascinate women with you. Not always will violence solve the problem. It will create new problems. Let Amalia go, I want your hand to lead me. My halal face will accept your slap. If only I were a mum who deserved a slap. Every rough treatment of yours will be my price. Don't make me regret loving you!" said Vania lirih, she held Raihan's hand that was about to slap Amalia.

Vania pulled Raihan's hand, clasping Raihan's hand tightly. There's no limit preventing Vania from doing that. Vania kissed Raihan's back. Then put Raihan's hand on his cheek. Vania's tears were dripping behind her veil. Raihan felt his hands wet. Raihan was filled with tears from Vania's tears. Raihan's heart ached, realizing his attitude hurt Vania.

"Sorry!" said Raihan lirih, Vania was silent while still sticking Raihan's hand on her cheek that was blocked by the hijab. Amalia fell silent at Vania's calm demeanor. Not anger, but Vania instead held Raihan's hand for her sake.

"Never hurt anyone for my sake. I don't want to make you act bad and do the wrong thing. Had it all happened, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. I wish this hand was just holding my hand. Not just because of emotion!" vania said, then let go of Raihan's hand. Vania looked at Amalia. He cupped both hands in front of his chest. Both of Amalia's eyes are perfectly rounded. He did not expect that Vania would do that. It was clearly her that hurt Vania. It was even Vania who seemed to apologize to him.

"Amalia, I'm sorry Raihan. He did all of that for me. He loves me so much that it darkens his eyes. One thing I asked you. Don't ever hurt myself in front of Raihan. I don't want to see his anger or his heart hurt. I could not see her tears. I'm begging you!" said Vania lirih, Raihan looked down at the calm attitude of Vania. Instead Amalia took a few steps back. She never expected, Vania did all that. A love he could never give.

"Amalia, she's probably an ordinary woman. But Vania knows what's right for me. He doesn't want to see me do anything wrong. He reminded me of the attitude of respecting a woman. Thank you for making me see Vania's love for me. Vania's tears, awakening to me our love will be strong. Will not be swayed by the wind from you or anyone else. Vania was the perfect woman in my life. He's a lamp in the dark eyes of my heart. The woman who values my love, because love is appreciative not coercive!" raihan said firmly.

"Dear, I love you. If possible, can I marry you tonight. Wait until tomorrow morning, I really won't be able to!" whispered Raihan, Vania shook her head weakly while looking down.
