STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Excuse me...

"Faiq, where's your mama? Why hasn't it come down?" rafa said softly, Faiq shrugged both his shoulders. Rafa turned to Fathan, as if asking the same thing. Rafa found no answer. Because Fathan shook his head. Sontak Rafa put down the spoon he was holding.

There's no more Rafa's napkin to eat. Since the debate this morning, Rafa and Hana no longer meet. The two dodged each other, thinking away would make the two calm down. Faiq and Fathan could only see. Without being able to interfere in the affairs of his parents. They believe the debate is only a small pebble that will not be able to destroy the marriage of his parents.

At first Rafa thought he could get away from Hana. It's not Rafa getting angry or blaming Hana. But Rafa wants to give Hana time, to forget all his words. Rafa realized every word that came out of his mouth. It made Hana's heart break. Although Hana was wrong, she left without thinking Rafa would be worried. She forgot her responsibilities as a wife. He was being hard on his heart.

"Papa's going to the den. You guys just continue with the dinner. Papa is no longer tasteful!" rafa said softly, Faiq shook his head weakly. Rafa stood up to walk towards his study. Even though Rafa is no longer working. He still uses his study first. Now to read and relieve fatigue.

"Free papa avoid, even papa choose not to eat. Everything will be the same, nothing will be different. Sorry if Faiq was wrong, but for years. Papa and Mama can survive the wounds and the dark past. Then why today papa seems defeated by the memories? Mom is not a perfect woman, sometimes she makes mistakes. A time when you feel like you need time alone without us. Just to think back to her happy life, even though tears always drip!" faiq said indifferently, Fathan and Rafa turned to Faiq. They do not believe the words of Faiq.

Rafa sat back in his place. He looked at Faiq fixedly, as if he needed an explanation for his words just now. Fathan looked anxiously at Faiq and Rafa. It was as if he was afraid of something undue happening. Instead Faiq looked very relaxed. There was no fear or guilt for his words.

"Faiq, watch your talk. You must be aware of your limits!" fathan said firmly, Faiq smiled knotfully. He doesn't seem to care what Fathan says. Faiq did not feel his words were over the limit. As a child, he would not interfere. But still silent to see the quarrel of his parents. It's not something right.

"Faiq, look at papa's eyes. Did mom say anything to you? Why can you say all that? What do you know about Mom?" said Rafa worriedly, Faiq shook his head weakly. Hannah did not say anything to Faiq. It's just from the attitude and look of Hana's face. Faiq seemed to be able to see the reality of the wounds that once existed.

"No need for my mother to say her pain. Just so we can see her tears. I was useless as a child. I wish I could never see his sadness. Mom loves papa very much. That's why my mom chose the wrong path. Just so that papa never sees the destruction!" faiq said, Fathan remained silent.

"Papa, Mama Hana doesn't want to make you remember that past. Remember the day that papa was the cause of both his parents' deaths? Mama may be wrong, but mama's just a weakling. Helpless of written provisions. Mama's insolent attitude, was nothing more than a choice in her heart's dilemma. Between choosing to be a wife who kept silent held back those bitter memories. Or become a princess who forgets for a moment her responsibilities as a wife!" vania said, Rafa turned towards Vania. Gently Vania kissed the back of Rafa's hand.

"Why can you guys talk like this?" fathan said in disbelief, then shook his head weakly as if he could not believe Faiq and Vania were talking so compactly. Rafa looked down lethargic, when he heard Faiq and Vania understand Hana so well.

"Now papa's eating, mama's been special cooking tonight. He asked me to serve him, mama doesn't want papa until he's late!" annisa said softly, Rafa nodded slowly. Then he continued to eat dinner. Rafa ate the dishes that Hana had made.

"Sir Annisa, Rama's not the husband of aunty Cintya. Did Mama Hana ever date with om Rama? Until you can be so jealous!" vania said plainly, Faiq and Fathan shook their heads weakly. Rafa turned towards Vania. Annisa instantly pulled Vania's hand away from the dining table.

"Vania is ugly and short, we all painstakingly calmed the burning fire. With ease you even pour gasoline on it. I really did not expect my arrival. Where is Raihan? I'll have him lock you up. I was with you for a day, like I couldn't. How is he with you every day!" fathan said annoyed, Annisa patted Fathan's shoulder softly. The look on Vania's face began to change, sobs began to be heard.

"Don't cry, I'm lazy to see your tears!" sahut Faiq coldly, as Vania hugged Annisa tightly. Gently Annisa stroked the head of the veiled Vania. Why every time there is a chance? Neither Faiq nor Fathan has always wanted to tease Vania. They feel happy when they see Vania crying and being oppressed.

"I'm a bitch, brother!" she said softly to Annisa, sober Annisa shook her head to disagree with her words. Annisa takes Vania to her room. If left close to Fathan and Faiq. Annisa is sure that soon Vania will cry. Since becoming pregnant Vania is much more flavorful. He became more prone to crying, leaving behind a hard and independent Vania.

They joke with each other. Forgetting for a moment the tension between Hana and Rafa. The real tension doesn't need to be there. If only Hana and Rafa understood each other's weak sides. Without a care Fathan and Faiq continue to tease Vania. Rafa walked towards his room. He wants to see Hana soon. Rafa could no longer hold back his longing for Hana.

"Hana, baby where are you?" call Rafa, Hana turned towards Rafa. Hana was standing right by the window. Hana looked up at the sky tonight from her room. Rain has been falling since morning. Burying away the beautiful bright night sky. The moon and the stars seem to be afraid to shine outdone by the dark cloud tonight.

"Darling!" said Rafa while hugging Hana from behind.

"I'm sorry I insulted your pride as a husband. My rude attitude unintentionally hurt you. I am just a weak woman full of flaws. Sometimes there's a side where I'm selfish and think what I'm doing is wrong. If you're angry it's natural, but at least I hope. Just let go of my attitude, do not blame me for the reason of guidance. Because I never wanted to step over you as a priest. But I hope we walk side by side. Lead me without any real demands. Our love is not that fragile. So it will be lost by one misunderstanding!" hana lirih.
