STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
The Doubtful Persistence

Adrian takes Rafa to his apartment. He did not bring Rafa home. Adrian doesn't want to see Rafa angry. Last night's events really won't be acceptable to Rafa. Adrian knows Rafa well, how much does he love Hana? But his words last night were outrageous.

The influence of liquor is huge, Rafa says something he may regret for a lifetime. When Rafa awakens, Adrian believes Rafa will be brutal and furious. When she found out Hana had gone from her life. Rafa's anger will be hard to control.

The events at last night's party became the trending topic of this morning's business magazine. The magazine's headline was none other than a photo of Rafa and Sesil dancing in a friendly manner. Many entrepreneurs are predicting the unification of two large companies. Adrian was surprised to read a business magazine this morning.

Instead, in Rafa's room, he's conscious of his drunkenness. Rafa was aghast when he found out, waking up not in his room and without Hana beside him. Soon Rafa got out of bed. He's out to find out, who owns the room he's in?

"You've woken up Rafa! Drink this orange juice. As your hangover neutralizer!" adrian said casually, Rafa held his head that felt dizzy. Rafa kneads his temples slowly, slowly receiving orange juice from Adrian.

"Why am I in your apartment? Where's Hana? What's going on?" cecar Rafa who was getting anxious, Adrian walked towards the sofa. Rafa gulped down the orange juice, he did need it to eliminate the effects of alcohol in his body. After feeling a little fresh, Rafa follows Adrian who is in the living room.

"Sit down Rafa first, calm yourself down before I tell you everything!" adrian said casually as if nothing happened last night. Rafa sees Adrian fiddling with his laptop. As if there is an important problem, Adrian's anger is able to be arrested Rafa. Rafa and Adrian's friendship, like Hana's friendship with Diana.

"I'm receiving Diana's resignation letter. He resigned as your secretary. Diana returned all the facilities the office had given her!" adrian said softly, Rafa saw the sense of losing an Adrian. There may be a growing love in Adrian's heart for Diana.

"What actually happened? Hana was not around, Diana suddenly resigned. You asked me to calm down. Adrian tell me the truth, before I get frustrated!" said Rafa upset, Adrian turned on the laptop in front of him. Previously he gave a magazine peeling off last night's party. Rafa and Sesil become a romantic couple.

Both of Rafa's eyes are perfectly rounded, looking at the magazine cover that shows him hugging the friendly Sesil. Rafa throws the magazine with all his might. He is angry and upset, Rafa is afraid that Hana misunderstands him.

BUKKK

"Suck, who would dare publish this magazine? I'll sue them. If Hana saw him, he would have been hurt. I will not forgive them. If Hana gets angry and leaves me!" rafa said annoyed, Adrian smiled cynically at Rafa's words. Then Adrian casually turned the incident last night.

Rafa sees everything that happens, event after event. Every rude word Rafa spoke to Hana, Rafa insulted Hana. Even Hana's cries outside the restaurant were seen and heard clearly by Rafa. Hana's tears and her downturn, Hana's wounds and heartache. All turned in front of Rafa.

Rafa was inflamed seeing everything that happened. With a clenched hand, Rafa struck the glass table in front of him.

Bugh Bugh Bugh

Fresh blood flowed from his palm. With all her might Rafa throws a laptop that keeps all his rude attitude on Hana. Adrian lets Rafa do whatever he wants. Free to ban or detain Rafa. It will only add to Rafa's frustration. Adrian understands Rafa's nature when he's angry.

"Rafa, your anger won't bring Hana back! What happened last night had destroyed Hana's self-esteem? Better let go of Hana, it'll make her happy! No one will demean him anymore. At least there will be no doubting the sanctity of his love for you!" adrian said casually, Rafa raised the clothes of Adrian. Rafa is ready to throw a fist at Adrian.

"You want to hit me, hit Rafa! Satisfy your anger, just as you were satisfied last night after insulting and expelling Hana!" adrian said angrily, Rafa let go of his strangulation. He rubbed his face rough, Rafa frustrated after knowing all the reality that happened last night

"Yahoooooo!" yell Rafa as loud as possible. He wanted to scream with all his might. Rafa is devastated by the fact that he has hurt Hana. The woman he loved most. Adrian hugs Rafa, trying to calm Rafa down. Although it's too late, Adrian already knows if Hana and Diana are likely to leave the city.

...☆☆☆☆☆...

After calm Rafa invites Adrian to look for Hana. Rafa will apologize, if necessary he will kneel in front of Hana. As long as Hana is willing to accept her apology. Rafa will do anything! He did not want to lose two meaningful people in his life. Rafa will fight with all his might.

"Diana!" adrian greeting when he saw Diana out of the boarding place. When Diana dodged, she did not want to meet Adrian or Rafa. Adrian held Diana's hand.

"Let go of my hand, you have no right to hold mine. I'm not your subordinate anymore!" diana cried out in emotion, Adrian remained calm. His arrival is not just to take Rafa. But Adrian wants to ensure the condition of Diana. Just wanted to remove the anxiety in his heart.

"Diana I didn't come as your boss. I came as a friend of Rafa's. At least give Rafa a chance to talk to Hana for a second! I already know the plan for both of you to leave!" pinta Adrian welcomes, Diana sees earnestness in Adrian's eyes. There was a sense of pity for Diana.

"What do you want to know? Hurry up and say, I have to go!" diana said cynically, Adrian turned to Rafa who was in the car. Adrian asks Rafa to wait, after Diana agrees to speak. Rafa's going down to see Diana herself.

"Diana, please meet me with Hana. What did I say last night out of my control? Tell me where Hana is! I'm begging you!" pinta Rafa squeezed, he cupped both hands in front of his chest. Diana was silent, long ago Diana did not open her voice. Rafa's tears were dripping down without being able to bear. Maybe a man is crying. But the shadow of Hana's departure, made Rafa's heart hurt beyond measure.

"I'm sorry, Hana's not here. Hana slept here last night. She cried all night, I just fell asleep in the morning. But when I woke up, Hana was gone. He left without saying goodbye to me!" diana said, Rafa shook his head weakly. It was as if he did not believe Diana's words.

"I'm not lying, Hana left this morning. I intend to look for her, I am worried about her pregnancy condition. Last night there was a contraction. If you don't believe me, it's a letter from Hana!" diana said softly while giving a paper that Hana had left behind.

^^^to: Diana^^^^

"Sorry Diana I left without saying goodbye to you. I can't keep going like this. For a while I will go looking for calm. I'm not running away from this. I just need time to set my heart. As a friend, you have helped me a lot. It's inappropriate to ask for something, but if I may want to ask something from you. Never leave the Prawira company. Take care of Rafa for me. This is my problem it has nothing to do with you. So don't ever sacrifice your career for me. Thank you for all your affection!"

^^^From: Hana^^^

Rafa read Hana's handwriting. Her tears washed the white paper. Adrian hugs Rafa's fragile body. Diana saw a regret that would be of no use.

"Now you believe, Hana's gone. He's not here. I want to go to his house. Maybe he's there!" diana said, then walked past Rafa and Adrian.

"Sir Rafa, you have doubted Hana's sincerity. Even though he was hurt and insulted by your attitude. Hana doesn't hate you, she's still asking me to take care of you. Hana asked me to always be by your side. The steadfastness of Hana's love will never get you back. Love that you've wasted." Diana said, she stopped the taxi.

"We went to his house. But the house was empty, as if no one had ever entered it. We can find Hana together. You're Hana's only friend, you know where Hana might be?" adrian said while blocking Diana from getting into the taxi. Adrian asked the taxi to leave.

Rafa is getting worse with the fact that Hana remains devoted to him. Even though Rafa's words have hurt his pride. The determination of Hana's love, which Rafa doubts, is fatal. Hana moves away as Rafa's hand takes it off.

It is seen that a woman in the shar'i hijab sits between two tombs. In his hand held a small book that read Yassin's Letter. That woman is none other than Hana Khairunnissa. A kara girl who lived without her parents since Junior High. A life struggle that he did not easily live. Though full of tears and tears. Hana was able to stand up to this moment. Hannah never puts her hand on anyone else. Just asking for mercy.

But his bones seemed to shatter formless. His body was weak, helpless, as his ears heard an insult from the person he loved the most. A rejection from the husband where she rests. The shoulder that will be able to accept his complaint. Since last night Hana realized, only these two headstones where Hana groaned. Pour out all the turmoil of his heart. Not to Rafa Akbar Prawira, a man who doubts his love.

The chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an is heard softly from the tiny lips of Hannah. Hana's soft voice prayed for the two parents who raised her. Although the tears continued to flow, Hana seemed to not care. Hana continues to strengthen her heart to pray for her parents. Rafa's words awaken Hana, that the bodies and souls of her parents are gone. But their affection remained in Hana's deepest heart.

After reciting the holy verse of the Qur'an. Hannah decided to return to her home. For a few days now, Hana's house is empty. Han had already been at the public funeral for half a day. Since dawn Hana has been here. Hana decided to go home. Although he was aware, Rafa would definitely come to see him. Hana never thought of going far or getting close to Rafa. Rafa is like a dream that has ended.

"Hana!"

Deg Deg Deg

Hana's heart shook violently as a voice called out to her. The voice that hurt him. Hana looked straight ahead. He sees Rafa coming with Adrian and Diana. Hana took a few steps back, she did not want Rafa to get close to her.

"Dear, please don't be angry. I'm sorry!"

"Nothing to forgive. Everything Mr. Rafa said was true. I'm just a woman who was left by her parents. But you forget, even if their souls and bodies are gone. I can still see their headstone. I will never be alone!" hana said softly, Rafa knelt in front of Hana. But Hana still did not budge.

"Don't kneel to this despicable woman. I don't deserve it. I once said, if this hand has you loose. That means our togetherness is over!"

"honey, sorry!"

"There is no apology left, all has vanished with my self-esteem in question. The steadfastness of doubtful love, has made me a strong woman!"

"Darling!" rafa lirih.
