STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
A Festive Party

The celebration party was very lively. Rafa collaborates with Zyan to turn an ordinary restaurant into a grand party hall. All the ideas from Hana helped Rafa a lot. The food served is made by the restaurant chef. The delicacy of its cuisine is comparable to that of international chefs.

Rafa as the star of the party came up with a very stunning appearance. The entire Prawira family came as the main partner of the company that was holding a celebration. Everyone left, only Hana stayed home. Hana does not want to participate in the celebration which will only make her embarrassed.

After a heated debate, Hana finally decided to go with Rafa. Hana will just enjoy the party without coming to see Rafa's co-worker. Hana is not used to Rafa's world. But later Hana must get used to her status as the wife of an heir to the Prawira family.

FLASHBACKS

"Darling, come with me. You can leave me alone at such a festive party. Everyone comes with a partner. Adrian just came with Diana!" said Rafa annoyed, Hana still stick with her head. Hana was not used to such a party. Especially the condition of her pregnancy is still very vulnerable.

"Sir Rafa, didn't the Cintya doctor forbid me from doing any vigorous activity. The party was attended by many people. Surely I'll get tired of following you saying hello to everyone. If not, I have to sit alone. I'd better be home!"

"Darling, you'll be home alone. Everyone went to the show. Look, I don't have to go. Better, grandpa replaced me!!" said Rafa casually, Hana shook her head while gently stroking Rafa's black hair. Hana is kneeling softly on Rafa's head, who happens to be sleeping with Hana's legs.

As gently as possible Hana massaged Rafa's head. These days Rafa looks depressed with his job. Rafa closed her eyes feeling every massage Hana had. Rafa feels Hana's affection in every touch of Hana's.

"Sir Rafa I won't be alone. There is a heart that accompanies me every step of the way. I'm reluctant to be at a party of rich people like Rafa's sister. I'm afraid I'm making Rafa's brother ashamed!" hana said softly, Rafa shook his head weakly. He looked up at Hana. Rafa pulled Hana's nape to bend.

One kiss of manisa landed perfectly on Hana's tiny lips. I don't know since when Rafa always wanted to do something sweet but memorable for Hana. Rafa always shows how much Hana means in her life. Hana smiled as soon as Rafa kissed her. Because Hana is getting used to Rafa's romantic attitude.

"There is no shame in my life. You're too perfect as my wife. Even though everyone doubted it. I'm the one who's having this wedding, not them. So why would I care about their opinion! Don't ever think you're embarrassing for me. You have always been the most important person in my life!"

"All right, I'm with Rafa. But I didn't go with Rafa to greet your comrades. I just want to enjoy the food!"

"Whoever my dear, I can see enough. I'm already so happy! I will accompany you after greeting them!" said Rafa happily, Hana nodded slowly. Rafa turned to look at Hana's flat stomach.

"Sweet child, take care of mom as long as papa is not around. Don't let anyone hurt your mom. You must be strong for mama!" rafa said shortly after gently tasting Hana's stomach. Rafa hugged Hana's slender belly. Actually Hana was very amused, but for the sake of happiness Rafa Hana remained silent. Hana sees Rafa very happy while talking to their future child.

"Yes papa!" the child imitates the voice of a child. Rafa looked up while laughing, Hana saw two different eyes of Rafa. Only happiness without burden. Hana was so happy that she could make a laugh on Rafa's face.

FLASH BACK OFF

At around 20:00 am, Rafa and his family arrived at the venue. The celebration was very lively, with many guests coming. The celebration of a leading company, of course, will be attended by great entrepreneurs.

Rafa walked firmly, his appearance was always stunning. Rafa becomes the center of attention of the guests, especially the women who are not yet aware of the facts of Rafa's wedding. They think they still have hope to be with Rafa.

Hana's appearance is a little different, tonight she slightly changed her appearance. The long dress that Hana used, wrapped Hana's body very beautifully. The long hijab looks beautiful and harmonious with the dress that Hana wears. A little make up makes Hana's face look charming and fresh. Rafa was silent to see Hana's simple but charming appearance. Hana's beauty is perfectly wrapped with the long dress and long hijab she uses.

Sabrina and Kiara were flabbergasted at Hana's different appearance. Although the dress that Hana wore was not as expensive as the two of them, but it looked very beautiful and charming attached to Hana's body. Sabrina never expected the servant she had always despised, to have such an unexpected beauty.

"Darling, you're beautiful! Don't get too close to men. I can be jealous, you're too pretty tonight!"

"Sir Rafa, the beauty that looks will fade as my body ages. But the beauty of my heart, only Rafa's sister is able to see. So it's not important Rafa's jealous. Everything that is in me is completely yours!" hana replied to Rafa. Hana and Rafa are separated right in front of the entrance. Rafa walked inside to meet his co-worker. While Hana will look for a place where she feels comfortable. The other Prawira family including Mr. Ardi had already walked first towards their table.

Rafa greeted one by one his business associates. Wibawa Rafa as an entrepreneur can not be doubted. His cold hands were able to defeat young and senior entrepreneurs at once. Rafa is always the winner in every bid. So that the entrepreneurs began to recognize the greatness of Rafa Akbar Parwira.

"Hana, may I sit here!" greeting Rama politely, Hana nodded slowly. Rama and Hana sat at a table. Until now Rama has not known if Rafa Hana's husband. Rama only knows that Hana's husband is a businessman.

"How are you, brother Rama? How's the ta'aruf event? When do I get the invitation?" hana said kindly, with a smile Rama replied to Hana's question. Indeed Rama is in the process of ta'aruf with the woman of his family choice. The woman they thought was equal to Rama. A successful wife in a career is not necessarily in a household.

Rama stared at Hana's shining face, there was a sense of regret deep in Rama's heart. The woman he loved because of his faith. It is not the woman who is fooled by him. Hana is just an unattainable wishful thinking. Since Hana's marriage with Rafa. To be honest Rama can't really forget Hana. Although the woman who is now her fiance is not much different from Hana. Even physically maybe Rama's fiancee is much prettier. Women with a pretty good career. But love is not so easily forgotten. A taste that has been ingrained for years. It is impossible to easily disappear and be replaced with another love.

"Him and I are fine. We're both engaged. Our wedding is still waiting. Because we both want to know each other. He works as a doctor. Time is always up in the hospital!" rama said, Hana nodded in understanding. "Alhamdulillah, brother Rama found a woman far better than me. May they be happy and there will never be any hindrance to a holy marriage!" inner Hana. Rama was a little surprised to see Hana sitting alone without her husband. Rama feels that Hana's marriage is not okay.

"Why didn't Rama bring him here? So I can get to know him!"

"Instead of Hana, I also want to ask the same thing! Where is your husband? Why are you sitting here alone?" rama asked back. Hana just smiled, she never thought of introducing Rafa to Rama.

"He's among the men here. I'm sitting alone, because this party isn't my style. I prefer it at home. But for the sake of a wife, I have to come to a place I never wanted. Brother Rama knows me personally very well!" hana said, Rama nodded in understanding. During his time with Hana, Rama never saw Hana coming to a party. She prefers her quiet life.

Rama and Hana dissolve in conversation. They reminisce about the past at SMU school. All the memories of Rama and Hana as a member of the mushola teen became the happiest moment. Rama and Hana laughed together. They did not realize there was a pair of eagle eyes that were always watching.

"Rafa, we dance. At least as friends we can still dance together!" sesil said spoiled, Rafa nodded. He felt jealous at the closeness of Rama and Hana. Rafa is annoyed to see Hana can laugh carelessly in front of Rama. Sesil had already realized Rafa's anger. From the beginning Sesil had seen, a gaze full of anger on Hana and Rama.

"Hana, are you okay?" diana whispered, she approached Hana when she saw Rafa dancing with Sesil. Hana nodded slowly, winking her eyes. Signifying himself will be fine. Diana joins Hana and Rama. They forgot about Rafa and Sesil. Diana's arrival made their conversation even more exciting.

Rafa's gaze grew sharper, he looked at Hana as if he did not care about her behavior with Sesil. Jealousy rules Rafa. Unconsciously and full of anger, Rafa takes a drink containing alcohol. Sesil is getting excited to see Rafa back. Just a party and a living drink Rafa. Rafa and Sesil's affection is becoming more and more. They hugged in public without thinking it was all inappropriate.

"Look at me, this cheap lady. After failing to seduce our son. He is now looking for a new victim. Are you aware now. If Rafa's just gonna love Sesil?" said Sabrina cynically, Diana stood against Sabrina. Rama is surprised to see them mention Rafa by name. As if in disbelief, Rama turned to Hana. With a weak nod, Hana answered Rama's curiosity. With a doldrums Rama sat back down. She did not expect that Rafa was a great businessman none other than Hana's husband.

"Diana, sit there is no need to serve them. I used to hear them insult me. Not everything means so much to me. My heart is numb!" sahut Hana indifferently, while pulling Diana's hand to sit back. Sabrina felt insinuated, she approached Hana with red eyes holding back the anger.

"It is not your heart that is numb, but you do not have self-esteem. You think Rafa really loves you. You dream, see for yourself with your two beautiful eyes. Rafa was hugging the friendly Sesil in front of everyone. While you're just a wife on paper for Rafa. This is Rafa's world full of luxury. You're just a country woman who dreams of becoming a rich woman!" said Sabrina cynically, Hana just kept quiet. Leisurely Hana stood up, she pulled Diana's hand. Hana wants to leave a party she doesn't deserve to attend. Rama followed behind Hana and Diana.

Rafa sees Hana coming out of the restaurant. Rafa's condition is not good. Adrian has tried to stop him, but Rafa's jealousy is on his mind. Hana's indifference further irritated Rafa. Rafa thinks Hana never loved him. He made a mess with Sesil. At first Rafa only wants to see Hana jealous. But Sesil took advantage of Rafa's jealousy by giving alcohol.

"Diana, we're leaving this place. We better eat on the side of the road. Than we eat here with people who don't have hearts. We are not beggars who need their mercy!" hana said, Diana nodded slowly. Sabrina became more and more inflamed, Gunawan did not interfere in his wife's affairs. He didn't want to put gasoline on the fire.

"Hana, it's presumptuous of you to say I'm heartless!" sabrina said as she raised her hand to slap Hana. Hana swiftly repelled Sabrina's hand, Hana held Sabrina's hand in the air.

"Never raise your hand on me. My parents never raised their hands until they died. You are just a normal woman with no self-esteem. Status as the big lady you care about. Doesn't make you deserve to slap me. You better be careful with the arrogance of a lost treasure someday!" said Hana, then threw Sabrina's hand violently. Hana does not want to accept being hurt for no apparent reason.

"One more thing dear lady Sabrina. I am not proud to be a member of the Prawira family. I remained by Rafa's side, all purely as a filial wife. The status you say about me, everything is true. But it did not hurt me, because until this moment the Prawira family treasure did not make me glare!" hana said in emotion, Sabrina clenched her hands in annoyance. Hana's bold attitude made Sabrina helpless. A village woman like Hana can fight it.

"Wait for Hana Khairunnissa!" rafa shouted, he staggered over to Hana. Adrian tailed behind Rafa fearing he had fallen. Sesil smiled cynically triumphantly.

"Where are you going? You're gonna go with your ex-fiancee. What does he have? Until you ignore me, he's way below me. I have everything, I'm a successful businessman!" rafa shouted, while holding his hand on Hana's shoulder.

Rafa has had too much to drink, Rafa said very well. Hana looked at the real Rafa. Hana realizes Rafa can never change. Adrian pulls Rafa's body, to keep him away from Hana. Adrian doesn't want anything to happen to Hana and the baby. But Rafa's strength was very strong, he held his hand still draped on Hana's shoulder.

"Why are you silent? Answer my question. Are you going to go with this guy. I'm more everything, I have all the luxuries. What is less than me? Until you want to go with her!"

"Rafa, that's enough. You drink too much. Just leave this servant girl. Don't waste your time!" said Sabrina heating up, Rafa turned his head with a look full of anger. Gunawan pulled Sabrina's body backwards. He doesn't want Rafa to be upset. Especially in such an uncontrollable situation.

"Hana Khairunnissa, quickly answer me!" rafa shouted furiously, he retreated away from Hana. Rafa rubbed his face rough, only jealousy had taken hold of him now.

"Rafa, stop this. Hannah could be scared to see you. She's pregnant, Hana can't be stressed!" adrian whispers soothingly, Rafa pushes Adrian's body away from him.

"Sir Rafa, your problem with me is not with anyone else. Never involve anyone? Brother Rama has nothing to do with our relationship. Meet me after you're sober! Now I better go. Calm yourself!" hana said softly, she walked away from Rafa. Diana embraces her best friend's body. Although Hana is strong but she is actually fragile.

"Hi waiter, you arrogant! Not that I love you, you can make me feel good. You call Rama affectionately, instead you call me coldly. I can get a much prettier woman than you. You're just a poor woman who lives alone. Do you realize everyone left you? Including your parents who went away from you. Don't you think I can't live without you. Go as far as you like! I won't stop it!" said Rafa emotion, Hana held her chest that began to feel tight. Rafa's words had sliced through his heart. His heart ached, an honesty spoken without being prevented. Maybe Rafa is in an abnormal condition. But his words represented all his heart. Complaints about Hana.

"Hana, we better get out of here. No one accepts us!" take Diana, Hana nodded weakly. Rama was silent to watch his loved ones get hurt. Rama can only see without being able to help Hana.

"Sister Rama, go home and consider all this a dream. Diana and I are going home in a taxi. Sorry for getting you into this!" pinta Hana to Rama, Hana approaches Rafa. He touched Rafa's right hand. Gently kiss the back of Rafa's hand.

"Honored Lord Rafa, thank you for opening my eyes. If someone else said it, I would never believe it. But your deepest heart has said it very clearly. Sorry if I hurt your heart!" hana said shortly after kissing Rafa's hand.

"Sir Adrian, please take care of Mr. Rafa. Don't let him get hurt again. Excuse me, apologize after he wakes up!"

"Hana, Rafa…!" adrian said, but quickly Hana shook her head.

"He said it clearly. I don't want to keep hurting him. It is not love if it continues to hurt. Maybe we need some time alone!"

After Hana kisses Rafa's hand unconscious. With a formless broken heart. Hana leaves the party, Diana embraces Hana. The firmness of her love begins to be questioned, but Hana is just a helpless weak woman.

"If this is the answer to my prayer. I will sincerely accept it. O ALLAH, his name is in my heart. So that this heart was so sick to leave him. I seem unable to breathe. I entrust the happiness of my priest to you, O owner of life. I love him, I love him. Brother Rafa, I'll keep your most beautiful gift. Our love will know you someday. May there be a time when we meet!" hana Pilu's inner, her footsteps were shaken. Carrying a thinly sliced heart. Hana loves him so much.

"Hana, don't cry!"

"I love her, I love her!" hana said softly, her tears fell without excuse. Hana's body fell down, Hana cried her tears soaked the ground. Diana saw her best friend destroyed nothing left.

"Rafa, I love you!"
