STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
A Truth

"Welcome Miss Rafa, there's something I can help you with!" zyan said kindly, Hana smiled. Rafa stared intently at Zyan who was trying to tease Hana.

"Already Mr. Zyan, I'm still the same Hana. So just call Hana, not Miss Rafa! Sounds weird in my ears!" hana said softly, Zyan laughed as he closed his mouth.

"Zyan, don't fuck around. You know who Hana is? Dare you tease her!" said Rafa, Hana glanced towards Rafa. Zyan raised both hands, cueing to surrender to Rafa.

"You guys want to keep arguing, I'd better go home! Please continue!" hana said irritatedly, she walked slowly out. Sontak Rafa embraces Hana's body, holding her back from leaving.

"Darling, sorry don't be mad. Now that we're in, didn't you just want to eat something!" rafa said softly, unknowingly Rafa embraces Hana. While Hana accepts, without wanting to reject Rafa's embrace.

"Rafa, it looks like things are going better!" whispered Zyan, Rafa nodded slowly. Hana walked first.

"Pray that Hana will accept me back. I will definitely give you a bonus!"

"Rafa's boss!" sahut Zyan, raising his hand in a gesture of respect. Rafa nodded with a smile. Rafa follows Hana into the room that has been specially ordered by Rafa.

After finishing eating, Rafa and Hana sat together facing each other. Hana accidentally asks Rafa to book a special place. Hana wants to say a lot to Rafa. Hana wants to talk heart to heart with Rafa.

"Darling, what do you want to tell me? I hope not the desire for a farewell. I can't hear it!" rafa said softly, Hana shook her head weakly. Until this moment Hana never thought of leaving Rafa. Hana just wants to find a sincere love without a doubt.

"Sir Rafa, forgive Hana for ignoring you. Even Hana hurt your pride as a man. For Hana's sake Rafa's sister has to be fond of Diana. As of now Rafa's brother should stay away from me and your son!" hana said softly, Rafa looked at Hana's face. He wanted to see the seriousness of Hana in his words.

"You said all this seriously or just wanted to see me happy for a moment. If so, please let me be as I was. I'm happy enough to see you, even if I can't touch you!" said Rafa, Hana shook her head weakly. Hana's heart was still too afraid to open up. But ignoring Rafa is not the best way. Rafa deserves to be happy with or without him.

"Sir Rafa, I'm serious about what I say. I never hated you. I'll never even be able to hate you. My heart has chosen you, but my heart is hurt because of you. Maybe Rafa thinks I'm selfish, but there's a reason why I'm having a hard time accepting you right now?"

"Say, I'm ready to listen to him. As bitter as it is, at least the first time in my life. You're willing to lean on me!" said Rafa casually, Hana shook her head weakly.

"I'm just gonna answer the question? Tell me what Rafa wants to know about me? There is no need for Rafa's brother to be fond of someone else. If you just want to know me, your own wife!" hana said, Rafa was stunned to not believe hearing Hana's words.

"Honey, you're letting me ask you anything?"

"Hmmmm, say! Whatever Rafa wants to know!"

"In my mind there are only two questions. How much does Raditya Naufal Wirawan mean in your life? What is the secret behind the deaths of your parents? You get angry every time someone tells you to. You are always hurt and crying!" said Rafa Lirih while looking down afraid Hana was hurt again.

"All right, I'll tell you everything! After this, Rafa values himself. How much does Naufal mean in my life!"

FLASHBACKS

9 Years ago

Hana Khairunnissa's relationship with Raditya Naufal Wirawan was unintentionally established. They met with no one planning. Naufal is the son of the owner of the largest hospital in the city. Young doctor with good looks and hospitality who is able to sedate women. No exception Hana who still sits in third grade Junior High.

Hana and Naufal's meeting occurs, when Hana helps a grandmother who suffered a hit-and-run. Hana is a light-handed person, although sometimes she is unable to help. Hana did not think twice when she saw a grandmother injured, when she was hit by a passing motorcycle. Hana took her grandmother to the nearest hospital. Hana's white hijab had already turned red by blood.

Arriving at the hospital, the grandmother did not immediately get treatment. Just because there is no deposit money coming in. Junior High girl none other than Hana. Confusion is thinking of ways that the grandmother can be treated. In confusion and tears, Naufal came like a hero. With open arms and sincerity of heart. Naufal gave the treatment without saying much.

The meeting continued unplanned. There is always a coincidence between the two of them. Over time friendship was established between the young doctor and Junior High. Whenever Hana met Naufal, there was always Diana beside her. Hana never met Naufal alone.

Friendship lasted almost a year, a friendship that was not pure anymore. Friendships that are filled with admiration and praise for each other. It produces real love. A faint love over the difference in age and status. Hana never knew for sure, did she love him or was it just a sense of admiration for Naufal? But Hana never cared about any of it, until one day Naufal expressed his words.

Naufal asked Hana for a promise. The promise of becoming a companion for life, when Hana has finished her school. A love of Naufal to Hana, Middle School girl who never knew love or knew the true meaning of love? Hana never refused or accepted Naufal's request. Hannah's reply was brief to Naufal at the time, "If ever your name would be in every prostration and prayer. That means you are the one who will be my prayer and step priest". A vague answer that depends on the written path of the soul mate. Naufal accepted Hana's decision. With his faith and love. Naufal was willing to wait for the written path of a soul mate.

But the difference is still the difference, the status of Hana a simple girl and Naufal the heir of the Wirawan family who is not able to be covered. The reality of Naufal and Hana's friendship was kissed by the Wirawan family. They were so angry that they came to the simple hut where Hana lived.

The arrival that brought the beginning of the destruction of Hana Khairunnissa's life. It was not just anger that Hana received. Hinaaa and scolding sounded shrill in Hana's ears. Both of Hana's eyes didn't seem to want to see anymore. When both his parents groveled and cried prostrate in front of Naufal's parents. Asking for mercy releases Hana who understands nothing? The cries of her parents, Hana could not forget until now. Hana causes her family to be insulted like garbage that is not worth looking at.The shame that must be borne by her parents makes Hana slumped.

After the Wirawan family came home, Hana's parents advised her. Asking him to raise his hand, asking him to stop meeting Naufal. The hand that groans in front of her, injures Hana's deepest heart. Although her parents didn't ask Hana to never see Naufal.

Again and again the bitter reality had to be swallowed up by Hana. Right after advising Hana, both her parents had an accident. Deposits become a steep road Hana's parents get handling. No doctor dared to take care of Hana's parents.

Naufal came like a hero, as powerful as Naufal to save his parents. Naufal was the doctor who did the treatment, although everything seemed impossible. Naufal took care of both of Hana's parents until the last breath. Maybe ALLAH SWT loves his parents more. HE took them together to his heaven.

In her pain and grief, Naufal comes to Hana's aid to take care of all the funeral needs of her parents. Junior Girls who can't stand without parents. He had to lose both his parents at once. Without a brother Hana is able to make a backrest. Naufal's the one who helped Hana. Naufal's kindness meant a lot to Hana's life. An aid to Hana's last devotion to both her parents. But without Hana knowing, all the help must be paid with the departure of Naufal abroad.

His parents allow Naufal to help Hana one last time. On the condition that Naufal leave Hana forever. Naufal had to continue his medical studies, even having to marry a woman who was betrothed by her parents. Naufal was just a powerless man back then. The Wirawan family's power is capable of hurting Hana. With the greatness of the soul Naufal went without saying goodbye to Hana.

FLASH BACK OFF

"Dear, I'm sorry!"

"Now does Rafa know who Raditya Naufal Wirawan is? Why am I so scared when I see people angry at me? What excuses my wounds whenever people bring up the deaths of my parents. Everything Rafa knows. Naufal may be the man who ever meant anything in my life, but it was long before I met you. My fear when Rafa's brother scolded me, because the Wirawan family's shadow insulted my parents right before their departure. It reminds me of how much I failed as a child. The words of Rafa that night, opened my heart's eyes that my parents left behind a daughter that insulted them! That I don't deserve to be loved!" hana said softly, Rafa lowered his head. His clenched hands held in anger, not at whom? But on himself.

"I'm sorry, I never understood you!" rafa said with regret. Hana shook her head weakly, she never blamed Rafa for her heartache. Rafa never knew the truth.

"Sir Rafa, you are never wrong. My past cannot change for the better. Every wound that was cut at that time, will stick in my memory. Everything will remain the same, until I feel the courage to accept the harsh reality. Forgive me for destroying our future, just because of the past. I haven't been able to forget that wound. Losing a parent who raised me, just because of a different friendship!"

"Just like myself, who is constantly learning to accept my past. Rafa shouldn't be destroying Kiara's future. She is innocent, why should Kiara bear your anger? Protect and love your sister, she's the only brother Rafa has. I feel the loneliness of living without a brother. Go home, apologize to Mr. Ardi. He's just an old man who wants to protect his son's happiness! Just like you wanted to protect me and our son. Don't be a cruel man, who will put your son to shame. Be the father your son is proud of"

"Darling, will we be able to reunite!" said Rafa, Hana nodded slowly.

"I never thought of getting away from you or leaving you. I told you no matter how far I go, your son will remind me of you. So what's going for? If you always remember at last!"

"When can we be together? Our house is deserted without you!"

"I'm sorry if I still want to be alone, but Rafa's got the right to meet your son. I will come back to you, for your name is in my prayer and my prostration. Don't think of my warm attitude towards Naufal's sister. The beginning of the presence of the taste that has disappeared! You are the priest of my hereafter, our blood has been fused in the pulse of our son!"
