STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
The Beautiful Princess

"Tante Hana!" greet a sweet daughter about 6 or 7 years old. He ran towards Hana with his arms outstretched. Hana received a warm embrace with a face full of astonishment. Hana felt like she had never known the sweet child who shouted to her.

Today Hana is allowed to go home, Rafa is going to take Hana home. Hana called Rafa last night. Something needs to be done between the two. Something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Diana pushes Hana's wheelchair. When the little boy arrived, Hana and Diana were in the hospital lobby. Waiting for Rafa who is taking the car.

"Hey sweet boy, what's your name?" hapa Hana was friendly after the boy took off his embrace. Both tiny hands held Hana's hand tightly. There is an invisible bond, an affection that can never be expected. Hana looked at the face of the girl in front of her. Even though he was a child, he learned to wear the hijab. Hana's heart shaded as she stared at the innocent face with faith attached to the child.

"Sorry aunt, I forgot we haven't met. I'm Annisa, greetings aunt!" he kissed the back of Hana's hand. Diana sees Hana's interaction with Annisa. It is like the relationship between a child and a mother. Hana's heart was filled as Annisa's tiny lips touched her palm. There is a longing for the presence of the son. The feeling of a mother swirled into Hana's heart.

"Annisa baby, you're beautiful and smart! But where are your parents? Does aunt know them?" hana said, Annisa nodded with a smile. Hana was silent thinking about whose daughter was greeting her?

Annisa may be a child, but judging by her manner of speech and manners. Annisa's not just any kid, she's smart for the rest. Her parents' education was very good, so Annisa understood how to behave in a more mature person.

"Beautiful boy, there's aunt Diana here! Why is it that only Aunt Hana is hugged?" diana said softly, Annisa shook her head weakly. Diana was flabbergasted to see Annisa's arm. How could a child as small as Annisa? can you choose to hug who?

"I just want to hug Aunt Hana, because I want Aunt Hana to be my mama!" she said casually, Hana and Diana looked at each other. They were both shocked to hear Annisa's words. Hana had only met Annisa for the first time, but this little boy said he wanted Hana to be his mother.

"Darling, where did Annisa's mom go? Aunt Hana doesn't know papa Annisa, there's no way Aunt Hana could be your mama!" hana said kindly, she said as gently as possible so that Annisa was not too disappointed.

"I just want Aunt Hana, not another aunt!" annisa said, Hana kissed Annisa's two tiny hands. Hana tries to understand Annisa's desire.

"Annisa can think of Aunt Hana as a mama. Now Annisa's happy!" hana said, Annisa shook her head weakly while looking down. Again and again Diana and Hana looked at each other. They were amazed by the attitude of Annisa who seemed to know Hana very well. Hana doesn't know Annisa.

"Pardon Annisa, she must have said no-no!" naufal said softly, he walked half-run towards Annisa. Diana nodded slowly understanding, what is going on?

"Son Naufal, Annisa's your daughter!" hana said softly, Naufal nodded while winking. Actually from the beginning Hana had suspected, that Annisa was the daughter of Naufal. But Hana hesitates, because Hana has never met Annisa before.

"Beautiful boy, how about Aunt Diana, Annisa's mother?" tempt Diana, Annisa shook her head then hugged Hana tightly. Diana chuckles to see Annisa loving Hana so much. They just met.

Tin Tin Tin

The sound of Rafa's car horn shocked Annisa. So Annisa let go of her embrace. Hana sees Rafa getting out of the car. Rafa opened the front door. Hana nodded at Rafa, then turned to Annisa.

"Darling, you're ready!" rafa said softly, Hana nodded slowly.

"In the meantime, I'm saying goodbye to Annisa!" sahut Hana, Annisa clasped Hana's hand tightly. As if I didn't want to let go of Hana's hand

"Darling, aunt Hana comes home first. Later if aunt Hana is healthy, aunty promises to make a special meal for Annisa beautiful!" pamit Hana, then walk slowly towards Rafa.

"Tante Hana!" call Annisa while hugging Hana from behind. Hana flipped over Annisa's body, she saw both of Annisa's beautiful eyes glazed over. Hana tried to squat in front of Annisa. Hana hugged Annisa tightly.

"Honey, auntie go home first. If aunt has time, we can go together. Now Annisa's with papa first. Aunt Diana can accompany Annisa!" hana said softly, Annisa nodded slowly.

Rafa stands looking at the proximity of Hana and Annisa. There was a strange feeling in Rafa's heart, when he saw the sincerity that was suddenly present between Hana and Annisa. Naufal, on the other hand, was heartbroken to see his daughter so fond of Hana. Although this was the first meeting for Hana, but not for Annisa.

"Sir Naufal, is there still such a taste for Hana. Until your daughter can love Hana that sincere!" diana whispered, Naufal nodded without hesitation.

"But whether or not it exists is not important. Hana has found a perfecter of her religion, the priest of prayer and his steps. The name in the prostration and prayer is not my name, but Rafa Akbar Prawira. The father of the fetus he conceived, the owner of his whole heart!" inner Naufal.

...☆☆☆☆☆...

"Darling!" rafa said, there is a fear of Rafa when calling Hana. Rafa did not want Hana to be distracted by his attitude.

Last night Hana called her asking to meet. Since last night Rafa couldn't sleep, he thought about today's meeting. Rafa does not want to make the mistake that made Hana angry.

"Hmmm!" sahut Hana relaxed, both of Hana's eyes closed. His head was still slightly dizzy, the effect of the medicine was still felt by Hana. Rafa deliberately lowered the car seat. So that Hana feels comfortable lying down. Rafa looked at Hana's shady face as she closed. Her distended stomach was clearly visible, wanting Rafa to touch her baby. Gently rubbed Hana's stomach, feeling the heartbeat and kick of the little one that might start to feel.

"Who was that girl? Why is he so close to you? I even saw him love you so much!" rafa said, Hana opened her eyes. He looked at Rafa, their gazes met. There's Rafa's deep yearning for Hana. His hands seemed to want to pull Hana's body into his arms. A longing that Rafa can never forget.

"She was the daughter of Naufal's sister, her name was Annisa. She wants me to be her mother. I don't know if I don't know, why would Annisa want me to be her mother?" hana said casually.

Ciiiiittttt

Rafa immediately stepped on the brake pedal. His surprise makes Rafa reflex stop his car. Rafa was flabbergasted to hear Hana say all that casually without any burden. Rafa feels that Hana will leave him for Annisa.

"Awwwrss!" hana cried out in pain, Rafa immediately touched Hana's stomach. His heart was beating violently, he felt his son's first kick. Rafa's heart warmed as her hand touched Hana's stomach. Rafa felt as if his son was greeting him.

"Father dear son, you greet me. I'm sorry, papa almost hurt you. Always be strong, bring your mom and dad together. Don't let anyone take your mama from papa? Healthy is always dear!" inner Rafa.

"Sir Rafa, why step on the brake pedal all of a sudden?" hana said annoyed while hitting Rafa's shoulder slowly.

"Darling, sorry! I panicked so I stepped on the brake pedal. Which side hurts baby!" said Rafa worriedly, Hana shook her head.

"Have it, am I okay? Why is Rafa panicking? Do not step on the brake pedal suddenly. His fear will make Rafa's brother wretched!" hana said annoyed, Rafa looked down regretfully.

"Sorry baby! I'm freaking out thinking you're gonna be Annisa's mom, which means you're gonna get away from me!" rafa said softly, Hana held back a smile hearing Rafa's uneasiness.

"I still haven't thought about it, but it's all possible. If Rafa stays like this. I'm going to get further away, because I can't possibly live with a heartless person!"

"What do you mean, baby? I've changed, I love you sincerely!" rafa said softly, while holding Hana's hand. Rafa kissed Hana's hand gently. Rafa breathed out a longing that rose in his heart.

"I'll leave as Rafa continues to be tough. Rafa has to remember, everyone has a past. Especially I have a past. But the past shouldn't destroy the future!"
