STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Guests in the Morning

"Sir Rafa, wait a minute I need your signature!" call Diana politely to Rafa who is about to leave her room. Since breakfast with fried rice made by Hana, Rafa increasingly often breakfast in the cafeteria. He always asked Hana herself to prepare it. So this morning, Rafa intends to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

"Hurry Diana, I'm hungry. I haven't had breakfast at home!" rafa tells a lie, Diana rushes to retrieve the file that needs to be signed by Rafa. Adrian walks closer to Rafa. There's actually gonna be a ten-minute meeting. Adrian came to remind Rafa.

"Rafa, we're leaving soon. Maybe they're waiting for us!" take Adrian, Rafa shook his head weakly. Then give the signed file to Diana.

"Go first, I'll catch up. If you need to start a meeting without me!" said Rafa coldly, he walked away from Adrian who was dumbstruck to see Rafa's slightly strange attitude.

"Not to be surprised, Rafa went to the cafeteria. She hasn't had breakfast yet, for that she'll have breakfast in the cafeteria!" diana said, Adrian nodded with a smile.

"Diana, your best friend is really special. He has made Rafa Akbar Prawira change!"

"What does Adrian mean? Not every time you meet Hana, Rafa always scolds her. It's obvious Rafa hates Hana a lot! Strange Mr. Adrian, indeed the rest of the drink last week has not gone!" diana said, Adrian stared intently at Diana.

"Who are we drinking? We went to the club, but we didn't have a drink. Rafa takes her home, she looks weird!" Adrian said.

"As for Adrian, I have to finish all this. Before Rafa's coming!" diana said, leaving Adrian busy playing with his mind.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Rafa immediately sat in his usual place. The canteen was still quiet, because it was still very early. Bu Minah came to serve Rafa. But strangely instead of ordering food, Rafa turned to the right and to the left. It was as if he was looking for something.

"Mr Rafa, what would you like to order?"

"Minah, where is she the waitress?" said Rafa Ketus, covering up the fact that he was looking for Hana.

"Hana, didn't come in this morning. He said he had a fever. Yesterday afternoon after returning from here, Hana was rained" said Bu Minah, Rafa nodded and stood up to leave.

"Sorry I don't eat! Everything is gone, I better leave now." said Rafa upset, he did not eat breakfast. Bu Minah is confused to see Rafa's strange attitude.

Finally Rafa walked towards the meeting room with an empty stomach. The first time he did not want to eat Minah's cooking. Rafa only wants breakfast, if the dish is made by Hana. Rafa starts to rely on Hana. Although Rafa always tries to deny it.

After the rain yesterday afternoon, Hana's body had a fever. Usually Hana is fine even though she is rained. But maybe Hana's body is weak, so she fell ill. Hana asked Minah's permission not to go to work. Because his head is so dizzy.

Hana's house is very simple. There are only two rooms with one bathroom. A small kitchen that is always neat. Hana rarely cooks, but every Hana in the house she prefers to cook. Hannah promised not to leave this house. He will take care of the home of his parents.

"Assalammualaikum!" greet someone outside. Hannah rushed to open the door.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Hana, while opening the door. Both of Hana's eyes were perfectly rounded. Guests who intentionally come to the house simply. None other than Rama's two parents. Despite their fear, Hannah let them into the house.

After they sat down, Hana immediately made drinks for both of Rama's parents. Hana put down the drink very carefully. Then Hannah sat down in front of them. Both of Rama's parents, not a random person. They were the most distinguished people in the neighborhood where Hana lived.

"Hana, we feel like you know us very well. Even though Rama didn't tell you about us. You know us from the neighborhood!" rama's father said kindly, Hana nodded slowly.

"Hana, we came here with the intention of asking you to cancel your engagement to Rama. It's not that we don't like you, but Rama has a big family that won't take you easily. For the common good, we ask of you. Cancel the engagement between you!" said Rama's mother, Hana looked down silent.

Actually until now, Hana is not sure of the taste of Rama. Maybe even that love doesn't exist. Hana receives a proposal from Rama, because Rama was the first man to ask her to marry. Although Rama knows the background of the Hana family.

"I'm sorry, mom and dad, thank you for coming to my hut. Not just me, almost all the people in this neighborhood know your family. About my engagement with brother Rama. Actually I can not cancel it, unless brother Rama asked for it. Not that I am not ready, but religiously. I am not entitled to receive the advice of others. Before the first hitch is canceled."

"You will remain engaged to Rama. Is all this because of our wealth? If yes, how much do you ask? We'll pay for it, provided you're willing to cancel your engagement with Rama!" rama's father said cynically, Hana shook her head while smiling.

"No need for the master to pay me. The matter of our engagement, I will try to make Brother Rama cancel it. I received a proposal from Rama, not because of the property he had. Because property is not very meaningful, in marriage only need to understand and appreciate each other. Believe me, soon I will ask Brother Rama to cancel his engagement with me!"

"You're sure you're gonna call off the engagement. You don't regret doing all that?" rama's father did not believe.

"By the request of the parents, there will be no words of regret in my life. Your affection for Rama is far greater than my affection for him. So it should be, I help brother Rama return your good favor. Maybe it's our first meeting, but I hope it's not the last one." said Hana, both of Rama's parents nodded slowly. After feeling his affairs were finished, both parents of Rama resigned.

After the death of Rama's parents, Hana thought of a way to talk to Rama. He'll ask Rama to cancel their engagement. Hana did not expect to marry without the blessing of Rama's parents.

"I was created because a man lost his ribs. If indeed Rama did not possess the missing ribs. It would be better to comply with Raman's parents' wishes, to cancel my marriage! There's no happy word, when there's a parent's heart hurting!" inner Hana.
