STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
The Smile that Disappeared

A week later Hana was hospitalized. The more days his condition is getting better. Doctor Cintya has allowed Hana to go home. With a record of doing regular checks of its contents. Rafa is determined to take care of Hana and her future baby. He doesn't want the same thing to happen again.

As long as Hana is cared for, Rafa never leaves her. He becomes a standby husband for Hana. Although Hana's attitude was more reserved. I don't know what's the burden on Hana's mind? Since that afternoon, no more smiles on Hana's pretty face. All the vanishing is not impregnable.

Rafa understands Hana's change of attitude. He considers Hana's cold attitude as a form of his anger at the humiliation of his family. Moreover, the incident almost killed the baby candidate. Rafa tried to patiently face Hana. Rafa tries to keep talking to Hana. Even though Hana was silent, she did not respond. Rafa sincerely accepted all of Hana's indifferent attitude. As long as Hana is not far from him.

Today Rafa brings Hana into the Prawira family home. All the members already know, if Hana is Rafa's legal wife. So nothing needs to be covered anymore. When Rafa says his intention is to bring himself to the Prawira family home. Hana was silent, there was no rejection or approval. Rafa seemed to be talking to a body without life. Rafa had consulted the doctor Cintya, but it seems that happened to Hana. Just an attitude of protest that has no impact on Hana's mental health.

"Honey, while you've been living here. I can't risk being away from you. I've hired a nurse to take care of you as long as I'm not around!" said Rafa, Hana silently looked at her husband's two beautiful eyes. Her lips were confused, there was no passion just to want to chew her husband's words. Hana lives in her own world.

To be honest Rafa could not bear to see Hana like this. Rafa much prefers Hana to be angry, but silently swallows all the bitterness of her life. Without thinking about sharing with himself. Rafa kissed Hana's forehead gently. Full of love and affection, Rafa seems reluctant to leave Hana. Especially in this condition.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry baby!" rafa said shortly after kissing Hana's forehead.

"I'm sorry Rafa. My heart hurts too much to hear your family's insults. My body is as if dead, the pride of a human being is not considered. They don't appreciate me, I'm like trash in front of your parents. Now my body is stiff, my lips are cuddly. I want to run away from you and your family. But this baby ties me to you. If only he never existed. I'll run as far away from you as possible. Our meeting is wrong, it will forever be wrong!" batin Hana while looking at the face of the husband. Rafa leaves Hana resting in the room. The sisters are always on standby to guard Hana. Rafa had already ordered the sisters, not to leave Hana even for a moment.

Rafa lets Hana rest in her room. Hana's condition has not fully recovered. Plus a new house that may still be very foreign. A little bit makes Hana awkward. Rafa wants to let Hana adjust to her new home.

"Rafa, where's Hana? Why did you come down by yourself?" said Mr. Ardi astonished, Rafaenghampiri his grandfather. He sat right next to Grandpa Ardi. Gunawan sat opposite Rafa, Sabrina sitting right next to her husband.

"Where I ask for a break. He's still too weak. So I let him in the room. I didn't go to the office today anyway. After eating, I will accompany Hana. In the meantime I'll keep her company!" said Rafa casually, Mr. Ardi nodded slowly. Instead Gunawan and his wife smiled cynically.

"Great woman, can make Rafa just think about it. I don't know where he got the pellets? Until Rafa defends the woman!" suhut Gunawan cynical, Mr. Ardi sighed. Why does his son never change? Always looking for Hana's fault.

"Rafa, do not listen to your father. It'll only piss you off!" said Mr. Ardi, Rafa nodded slowly. Kiara walked towards the dining table. His face was very upset. Maybe Rafa never liked Sabrina, but it is undeniable. If Kiara is Rafa's only sister. Deep down in Rafa's heart, he loved his sister very much. But Sabrina's attitude seemed to make them two brothers who are hostile to each other. Making Rafa close himself up and act cold to Kiara.

"Sir Rafa, why is my ATM card blocked? What should I shop for? Rafa knows for himself, I only have the card" whined spoiled Kiara, Rafa ignored Kiara. At least Rafa doesn't care about Kiara's words. Rafa continues to eat, he thinks Hana who was Rafa living alone.

"You have to learn what life is? You have done enough shopping. Now is the time to focus on learning, not shopping. If you want to shop, ask papa. Now you are not the responsibility of your brother!" sahut Rafa is cold, Kiara is pouting. He looked at his mom and dad. Both of them shrugged their shoulders, signaling they could do nothing?

"Sir Rafa, have I not obeyed. Even though I love shopping, my grades are never ugly. And on what basis? Brother Rafa punished me!" kiara said annoyed, Rafa smiled. Rafa casually drank a glass of water. He wanted to immediately leave the dining table that was never calm and comfortable. Always discussed only treasures and treasures.

"Sir Rafa, answered Kiara's question? Is it wrong for Kiara to have Rafa block my ATM card?" kiara shouted, as she saw Rafa leaving the dining table. Rafa looked over while smiling. Then he approached Kiara.

"Sister Rafa can live without an ATM card from his sister. He worked hard for a bite of rice. She struggled to live by herself without thinking about wanting to lean on big brother. Although all the luxury and comfort has been given by my sister. Rafa's wife never used him. So now learn to live a simple life, because papa and mama have insulted sister Rafa's wife. It's only fair that now you and mama Sabrina feel a little bit of life without the support of big brother!" said Rafa, then pinched Kiara's nose. Kiara's face was very upset to hear Rafa's words. He's innocent of what happened to Hana? But he had to be affected by the mistakes of both parents.

"Sir Rafa it's not fair!" yelled spoiled Kiara, Rafa has already passed away. Today Rafa will be working from home. In order to easily keep an eye on Hana who is still in silent mode.

That night Rafa went into the room. Accidentally all day Rafa is just watching without seeing Hana. Rafa doesn't want to bother Hana, he wants to give Hana as much time as possible to adjust to her new home.

"Darling, why are you standing here? The night air is not good for you!" said Rafa worriedly, while putting a coat on Hana. Rafa hugged Hana's body, she clenched tightly so that Hana wouldn't get cold. A warmth that hoped to penetrate the coldness of Hana's heart. Rafa patiently awaits Hana's heart to warm. But still and cold Hana, like a knife that slices his heart thin. I don't know when Rafa will survive? Only Hana's smile was able to make Rafa excited. But the smile disappeared, with no trace left.

Hana stands outside after praying Isya. Hana stared at the vast sky, filled with beauty and mystery. Like his life is now changing full of twists and turns. Since his meeting with Rafa Akbar Prawira. A forced marriage made her a wife who would never be blessed.

"O ALLAH, if your heavens are so wide and beautiful. I am sure that there will be a place on your earth that will accept you with open arms. Day and night change every day. I believe there will be times when this sadness will change with happiness. But slaves are just ordinary humans. The bone of the servant seemed tired, supporting the body that continued to be humiliated. The heart of the servant seems to be broken, if it continues to hurt. O ALLAH the servant is too afraid to ask. Everything YOU give is far from the hope of the servant. But can I beg. If it is indeed the best marriage husband that YOU choose. Then bring him near the servant, as close as pulse and blood. But if the husband of the servant is not the soul mate that YOU choose for the servant. So keep away, as far as heaven and earth can never be united. So that no more tears will be shed!" hana looked up at the sky. Rafa's decapitation was as if it was not felt by Hana's cold body.

"Darling, how long will your smile disappear? I can no longer see your silence and coldness. Forgive me for being weak. Tell me what do you want? So there's an apology for me!" rafa whispered right in Hana's ear.

"Tie the bond between us!"
