STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Inspiration is not important

"Welcome back Rafa!" Sapa Sesil is friendly, while reaching out to invite Rafa to shake hands.

Rafa smiled at Sesil, a woman who continues to be ambitious in the business world. The wife of his best friend Alvian. A stained past in Rafa's life. The woman who made him happy, was at once destroyed in freedom of unbelief.

"Thank you Sesil!" Rafa said, while receiving Sesil's hand. The two shake hands. Smelting the awkwardness that sneaks in. Good memories of the past, accidentally stamped in the minds of Sesil and Rafa.

"Asthgfirullahhaladzim!" Inner Rafa.

Rafa instantly let go of Sesil's hand. Hands that once accompanied his days. Grasping each other through a time of freedom. Rafa momentarily forgot his status. Forgetting Hana the woman he loved so much. Recalling his youth with Sesil.

"Please sit down and Fathan and Faiq will be here soon. They're discussing something!"

"Finally after all these years, you're back to being the old Rafa. My wait was not in vain, now you are returning to your real world!" Sesil said softly, Rafa shook his head in disagreement. Rafa had no intention of returning from the beginning. He's in this company, just as an advisor. Faiq who will completely replace him.

"I'm not back forever. Right now I'm in this company just for Hana's sake. When Hana asked me to stop. Without saying much, I'll do it right away!"

"You love Rafa so much!" Sesil said softly, Rafa nodded without hesitation. The real hue of Rafa's face exudes happiness that was never there during knowing Sesil.

With his own eyes, Sesil saw Rafa's happiness. A genuine smile that Rafa never showed him. Let alone the smile, the anger that Rafa showed him more often. Especially when Sesil knows Sabrina who is none other than mother continued Rafa. The woman who hated Hana so much. A mother who is never satisfied, always thirsts for status and wealth Rafa.

"He's everything in my life. Hana may not be as pretty as you. Hana's not as smart as you. The real charm makes me or the other women bend their knees. But Hana's heart was much more sincere and holy than any other woman!" Sahut Rafa, Sesil was silent. Every time Rafa praised Hana, there was always a sense of pain to look into his heart.

Sesil shouldn't have expected any more contact with Rafa. Given his status and Rafa who has been different. But the love that ever existed, as if never wanted to get away from his heart. It felt so beautiful, but it felt unworthy to be stored. In the present status. Beautiful pieces of that taste, every moment tormenting his soul. Alvian's presence doesn't change everything. Love still belongs to one name. Rafa Akbar Prawira was always in his mind.

"I know Rafa, look at the way you're keeping Hana. Your decision to move away from your world, just to keep Hana's heart. Because Hana never wanted to know your world. Hana who continues to be selfish, feels comfortable with her world that is clearly different from yours!" Said Sesil loudly, Rafa was silent. Why did Sesil's words seem right?

Hana never wanted to follow Rafa's lifestyle. Just look at Rafa's world full of honorable people. A world full of glamour, a world full of deceit. It was much different from Hana's simple life. A life that never cared about the luxury of the world. Rafa chose to give up, because he was tired of waiting for Hana who did not think he wanted to follow his style.

"Why are you silent Rafa? My words are true, right? Hannah never loved you. He only appreciates you as a husband. If he really loves you. He will not be firm in his preaching. Proud to admit your life is different from her. From the beginning you were born in a different place and a status that will never be the same!" Sesil said loudly, Rafa remained silent. Acknowledging that the words of Sesil are true.

"He's not like that!"

"But that's the truth, you're the only one who pretends to be unaware. Hana is too proud to admit your advantages. Therefore he feels capable without your status and wealth. Rafa love is the taste of two hearts. Change is not just about you, but Hana has to change. If you can leave your world, live in its world. Why can't Hana? Hana should have seen your sacrifice. So that Hana can make the same sacrifice!" Sesil said emotion, as if his words were real true.

Rafa pecked, his lips felt faint no longer able to speak. Rafa feels that Sesil's words are true, a reality that has been covered by his love for Hana. Rafa was worried about his attitude now. Sesil's real words made him weak, feeling unappreciated by Hana.

"Why is papa silent? Papa justifies the word aunt Sesil. Papa believed his words and began to doubt my mother?" Said Vania loudly, Rafa and Sesil turned in unison. Rafa shook his head, gesturing he was not like that. Rafa's looking for a real justification that never existed. Rafa has been silent since Sesil doubted Hana's love. The real answer agrees with Sesil's words.

"You little boy, it's not appropriate to interfere in adult affairs. You must realize, your father deserves to be happy. It was as good as Hana to see the lonely heart of Rafa. Not always proud of his love. Feeling Rafa happy to be beside her!" Sesil said, Rafa looked at Sesil sharply. As if asking Sesil to be quiet.

"Vania, papa never doubted mama. Aunt Sesil just wanted to talk!"

"Rafa, you have to be aware. It's time to get to know the world and your life. You are Rafa who lives with high status. It is not appropriate to continue to follow the style of Hana who is a village!"

"Something is enough, not where you talk!" shouting Rafa emotionally, Sesil smiled cynically. Sesil slowly walked towards the wall of the building where Rafa's company stood. Sesil stared fixedly at the tall buildings in front of him.

"I'm talking like this, not because I ever loved you. I just want to remind you as a friend. Look out of this building, this is where you should be standing. You and Hana are like the first and last floor of this office. As you said yesterday, be happy before it's too late!" Sesil said firmly and coldly.

"Something is enough, stop this conversation. None of this matters to me. As long as Hana is with me!"

"Beware Rafa, many women are much better than Hana. At least tell Hana to learn to know your world. Make your relationship go both ways!" Sesil said softly, Vania was inflamed to hear the words of Sesil. With wide strides, Vania approached Rafa and Sesil. Vania looked at the two alternately, as if Vania's gaze was able to make Rafa and Sesil crumble.

"Papa, Vania never realized papa's loneliness all this time. But one thing Vania realized. I never complained about living with my dad. When another woman is happy with her marriage. Mama cried remembering the pieces of wound that you once incised. When a mother loves her child. Mama Hana sincerely loves me, a child who was never born from her womb. Mama never distinguished me from brother Fathan and brother Faiq. If it wasn't my mother who raised me. Maybe I'll be a less loving child. But today, I saw papa doubting Mama Hana. Just because of Aunt Sesil's words!" Vania said in between sobs and tears.

"Darling, papa never doubted mama!" Rafa said loudly, extending a hand towards Vania. Slowly Vania walked backwards, Vania's head was vehemently rejected Rafa's helping hand.

"Mama Hana is not that bad, Mama Hana is not that bad. Mama Hana loves papa so much, she sacrificed so much for papa's happiness!" Said Vania softly, while walking backwards.

Without him noticing, his body crashed into the chest of Faiq's field. Faiq swiftly supported Vania's weak body. The shock Vania felt. Shaking Vania's mind so violently. A marriage that looks so happy, opens such a big scar.

"Sister Faiq!" Vania said softly, as if expecting affection and protection from Faiq. Gently Faiq blinked his eyes. All signals will be fine.

"Fayes!" Sapa Rafa, Faiq walked over to Rafa and Sesil. His left hand clenched tightly onto Vania's body which was shaking violently. The relationship between Faiq and Vania is very close. Nothing can calm Vania down. Besides Faiq and Hana, the two people who made Vania believe. There was such a sincere love for him.

Braaakkkkk

"What is this Faiq?" Sesil was astonished when Faiq slammed a file in front of him. Rafa silently looked at the anger in Faiq's calm. Anger that was never seen and only Hana was able to calm him down.

"Fix the contract written in it. Akj will wait 3×24 hours. More than that, I won't accept it. Automatically, our cooperation contract is void!"

"Who are you willing to break this partnership? You're a snot who doesn't know the business world!" Sesil ketus said, Faiq smiled in a knot. As if it did not care what Sesil said.

"Prove if Aunt Sesil is a great man. Within 3 days, I want a new contract. We'll prove, I'm an amateur or a smart aunt in this business world!" Faiq said coldly, then walked away from the pensive Sesil. Faiq's words slightly disturbed Sesil's mind. It would be a shame if Sesil could not win the Faiq challenge.

"Faiq, you're mad at papa!" said Rafa lirih, when he saw Faiq did not look at him. Faiq shook his head weakly, without turning his head towards Rafa.

"Our relationship is not as fragile as that, until easily the words of Aunt Sesil separate us. Our family is not that weak, so the opinion of Aunt Sesil destroyed the foundation. Whatever Aunt Sesil says is not wrong? He was right with all his opinions, as well as papa's doubts that seemed right to mama. But one thing you guys think is wrong about mama!"

"Tell me what is it? Because I'm sure, it's just your bullshit. For Rafa to feel guilty for Hana!" Sesil ketus.

"Secile, stop!" Shouts Rafa emotion.

"Why should I be quiet? Look at your son's attitude towards me. I'm talking reality, he even arbitrarily decided to cooperate. Just because I'm teasing her mother's weakness. Someone who can't distinguish between personal and work problems. It will never be worthy of being a leader!" Sesil's voice full of anger.

"Shut up!" Shouted Faiq, pointing towards Sesil's face. Sesil took a few steps back. Faiq's real anger made Sesil scared.

"I don't care if you doubt your mom or not. I honestly have nothing to do with this company. I just want aunty to know, mama is much better than aunty. Mom doesn't want to go into papa's world. Not because he was arrogant or arrogant, but the world of papa who seemed to reject the presence of mama. Mama's fear is not because she lost her father or her property. Mama's fear, none other than the doubt of love that will exist. If mom lives in papa's luxury. The real reason never made mama glare with papa's treasure until now!" Faiq.

"I'm sorry papa, at first glance I feel like my mom doesn't appreciate my sincere love!"

"Mama has always appreciated that love, because it is to this day. Mama never wanted anyone to doubt the sincerity of her love. Do you think you're happy to see your mama's sacrifice?" Faiq said, Rafa silently stared fixedly at Faiq.

"Mama was crying in the corner of papa's stately house. Looking for a place to hide, so no one can see her tears. Mama was quiet and cold, when she saw papa dissolving in a different environment. That night, when papa laughed while holding a branded drink glass. Mama's the one sitting by herself, feeling low in a different place. If there is something wrong with your relationship. Not a different status or world of papa and mama. But my mother's love is too big. Until he lost papa. Injured again due to a different status!" Faiq said more.

"It's not that good!" Sesil.

"Our mother is best, for she has borne two sons with faith and a rich heart. Raised three children with the same love and affection. Appreciating a real husband begins to doubt him!" Fathan Sahut.

"Oh yes aunt Sesil, Faiq's decision was final. He is now taking over the company. So follow his words. If you don't want to see the aunt's company destroyed!" Fathan said coldly.

"Vania, forget aunt Sesil's words. He's someone else who has no right to judge our family. Especially judging mama!" Said Fathan warmly.
