STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Meaning of Self-Esteem

The morning turned bleak. Prawira's family must accept Rafa's anger. Rafa's anger is unstoppable. Losing Hana and almost losing her unborn son. Blinded Rafa's heart eyes. He can no longer know who the Prawira family are? Rafa thinks they are strangers.

Rafa asks one of his staff, spreading the news about the Prawira family's son-in-law's past. The past of a Sabrina Prawira Gunawan's second wife Adi Prawira. Without anyone realizing Rafa has all the evidence of Sabrina's past.

The whole city is in an uproar, when it comes to knowing the daughter-in-law of a prominent family of Prawira's level. Has a daughter-in-law who is none other than a former girl by night. Not just the club world, Sabrina is famous as a high-class night woman. All this happened long before he met Gunawan.

The news is like a hot ball rolling, the Prawira family home is full of journalists who want to know the truth. Mr Ardi Prawira no longer able to say anything? He was silent, watching everyone know the disgrace of his family. Prawira's daughter-in-law's family ex-girl night. The fact that deliberately closed tightly on the air can not be prevented. All news was released by Rafa Akbar Prawira.

"Father!" greet Gunawan, he rested in kaka tuan Ardi. Gunawan cried kissed his parents' hands. Sabrina looked down embarrassed, she was no longer able to look at the people in her house. Even commanding ART in Sabrina's house seemed inappropriate.

"Papa, forgive Gunawan who failed to keep the Prawira family's good name. Sorry Gunawan!" he said with a sigh even kissed the feet of Mr. Ardi. Sabrina cried to see her husband have to apologize to his father. Kiara doesn't want to see Sabrina. He locked himself in the room. Kiara threw everything in her room. His shame was not able to bear.

"Gunawan, papa is very old. Papa's body is already old powerless. Papa is no longer a father who can defend you. Papa clearly said, Rafa will take care of you. Now he's the one who wants to destroy us! Tell papa, I would love you both. Until you're not willing to fulfill papa's simple request! Make peace with Rafa, the sustainer of our family!" he said softly, Gunawan can only cry.

Sabrina sat down not far from Mr. Ardi. During his time as the daughter-in-law of the Prawira family, Mr. Ardi never treated Sabrina differently. Although deep in heart he could not accept Sabrina wholeheartedly. But he never hated Sabrina. Only Sabrina was the reason for her son's happiness.

Mr. Ardi looked down weakly, a disgrace that had been covered for years. Now it's wide open, coming to the surface. Gunawan lamented his weakness that could not educate Sabrina. His great love blinded the eyes of his heart. Even for Sabrina's sake, Gunawan ignored Rafa's biological mother until his last breath.

"Papa, forgive Sabrina for covering up my past. Now there's nothing more I can say. I'm dirty, I don't deserve to be the daughter-in-law of this family!" he said while crying, Mr. Ardi shook his head weakly. Sabrina admitted wrongdoing so as not to be blamed by the Prawira family. He knows this family very well. A family that forgives easily, without thinking is sincere or not.

"Sabrina, if I feel like you don't deserve to be my daughter-in-law. I took you out of this house from the beginning. But I remained silent, closing my ears and eyes. Forgetting all your past. Just for the happiness of my son. Unfortunately, the treasures and status that you hold, make you feel worthy to insult Hana. A woman far more noble than you!" said Mr. Ardi lirih, Sabrina was flabbergasted to hear Mr. Ardi's words. Gunawan rubbed his face rough. He could no longer look at his father's face, the one who always supported his every wrong move. Without asking or blaming!

"What do you mean? I don't understand, is papa now more defending Hana? Papa defended and praised him, after he found out about my past. Papa was selfish, dumping me after knowing I was dirty!" sabrina said harshly, she stood up with emotion.

"Sabrina, watch your talk! Don't be disrespectful to papa!" gunawan said emotionally, Sabrina was inflamed hearing Gunawan say harshly to her.

"Why are you angry? I was right, papa defended Hana after knowing I was despicable. You two are the same, don't appreciate me after knowing I'm dirty. Do you regret marrying me? Did you forget? I'm not the one begging to get married. You kneel before me. You rich families are uncivilized. Dumped me after knowing my past!" sabrina said angrily, Mr. Ardi shook his head. Gunawan inflamed to hear the words of Sabrina who continued to corner him, especially his father who had always defended them.

"Sabrina!" shouting Gunawan, Sabrina stared intently at Gunawan.

"Shut your mouth, you don't know anything?"

"What don't I know? You guys dumped me like shit. After my past is exposed. You insulted me, you cruel father and son!"

"Sabrina's enough! You don't know anything? Papa and I already know, if you work as a night woman. We know your dark past. We know everything!" gunawan shouted furiously, Mr. Ardi lowered his head. Both of Sabrina's eyes were perfectly rounded, she was surprised to hear Gunawan's words.

During his marriage to Sabrina, Gunawan did not speak rudely. Never raise your hand, yelling at Sabrina Gunawan never did. Today he snapped, even raising his hand. As Sabrina continues and continues to blame her father.

"What?" said Sabrina Lirih, Gunawan pulled Sabrina's body. Throw it in front of Mr. Ardi.

"Yes Sabrina, we know everything. We never brought up your past. We accept you with open arms. During his life, he closed his eyes and ears. We are the shield wall of our relationship. Just for my happiness, because you smile. I threw my son away for you. He ignored me just because I'm the husband who left his mother for you!"

"Look with your eyes, an old body in front of you that has been a shield covering your past. He protects you with all his might, even when Rafa wants to open your disgrace. That old man who was fond of Rafa. He guarantees your life. Promise you'll never touch Hana. But it seems like treasures make you glare, forgetting your despicable origins. Thought you were worth more and more than Hana. You almost killed my grandson with your arrogance and arrogance. You outrageous Sabrina, you insulted my love. You always underestimate me, but I'm silent for the sake of the heart that has chosen you!" said Gunawan emotion, Sabrina sat down. He regretted the words he said. Sabrina cried at the feet of Mr. Ardi.

"Sabrina, I never looked down on you. I close my eyes and ears, just for the sake of my son Gunawan. I never asked for more. I'm just asking you. Don't ever nag Hana, because Rafa's anger won't be able to hold you back. Now you see for yourself, the disgrace I've been covering up all this time. It's thanks to your arrogant attitude!" said Mr Ardi lirih, Sabrina cried without being able to say anything?

"Now that all has happened, the good name of my family Prawira has been destroyed. Pray, may Rafa stop his madness. If not, not just a good name. Rafa can destroy Prawira's company, which means we have to be ready to be bums!" said Mr. Ardi lirih, then stood leaving Gunawan and Sabrina.

"Pa, forgive Sabrina!" said Sabrina, Mr. Ardi turned his head.

"No need to apologize, because you never know what self-esteem is? As Sabrina knew, a woman's self-esteem exists only when she is able to respect and maintain the dignity of her husband. Hana never demanded anything from Rafa! Hana keeps Rafa's honor, by not being an enemy to Rafa's family. Hana protects Rafa's dignity by remaining silent, self-medicating as Rafa's wife. Not because of embarrassment about his status, but for the sake of keeping Rafa's good name. That's real self-worth. Never demean someone if you are inferior to them!"
