STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Sesil's Angry

"For Rafa!" greet Adrian, a friend who is always there when hit Rafa. The one who never thought of leaving Rafa alone in every predicament. Either personal or work.

"Again, what's wrong? why did this come so early? Any important issues?" rafa said, Adrian nodded. Hana is still in the kitchen, she prepares breakfast for Rafa before she goes to the shophouse. Hana is back with Rafa. He will continue his business with Diana.

"Rafa, today there will be a discussion about cooperation proposed by Mr. Gunawan and Sesil. But from the files they submit, there are many shortcomings that might make us lose! You must decide wisely, so that we do not lose!" adrian said reminded, Rafa nodded while putting on a smile. Adrian doesn't expect Rafa to make the wrong decision. Although Adrian knows how Rafa works differently. Rafa is not a person who mixes personal problems with work.

"You take it easy, last night I told papa. I asked him to revise his employment contract. Only then will I sign it. I asked Papa not to come to the meeting later. I can't possibly let papa be embarrassed in front of my staff!" rafa said, Adrian nodded in understanding. Hana overhears the conversation between the two of them. But Hana chose to remain silent and not interfere.

"I thought you hated Gunawan, because he had dumped Aunt Ainun. For the sake of aunt Sabrina, om Gunawan ignored the existence of aunt Ainun until his last breath. Why do I feel you are different? It's like you forgive them!" adrian said, Rafa closed both eyes.

He remembered which day? His hands hugged his mother's weak body. The clothes he was wearing were covered in blood. In his arms his mother breathed her last breath. In extreme pain, Rafa was still able to hear. His mother called his father's name. With the rest of his breath, his mother asked for an appointment. Protect and protect his father.

The steadfastness of a wife's love that was never considered. Wife who was estranged only because of the woman of the night. A mother who goes away forever leaves her son, with the responsibility of looking after the father. Rafa now understands what her mother's love means to her papa? He loves without wishing to have. A love that Rafa now feels for Hana.

"Maybe I hate papa, because he never loved or thought my mother existed. With both eyes, I often saw my mother crying herself. Sitting waiting for papa at the dinner table, but never come home just for dinner. Cold food as cold as papa to mama. But I saw the love of my mother was so great. He steadfastly held his love for papa until his last breath. Mama's the reason I'm still alive in the Prawira family!" rafa said softly, Adrian patted Rafa's shoulder slowly.

"Sorry Rafa, I'm making you sad. But strangely why do I always act cold to Gunawan? The look you gave, as if you never thought it existed!"

"I just want to see papa aware, that he's a head of the household. I'm tired of seeing him underestimated by Sabrina. Just because papa loves him too much. My cold attitude so that papa can be independent. Proving to Sabrina that papa is worthy of respect as a husband. So that papa is not insulted, because of his holy and sincere love!" Rafa.

"I'm sure Gunawan thinks you hate him!"

"I could never hate papa. Mama firmly loves papa, instead papa steadfastly loves woman that night. I don't want my son to hate me. If I make a mistake. The heart is never wrong, love is a gift that can never be reasoned. Like my love for Hana can make me upset. Forgetting who I was before I met him? Love is what makes you ignore your mom. Love is what makes you strong and strong!" rafa said, Adrian nodded slowly. Rafa is not a cold-hearted man, now in his heart full of love. Hannah teaches what love is? Meaning loving? Even Hana taught Rafa the wisdom to love?

"But love shouldn't make us more wrong. Make love our reason to be a better person. Love is beautiful, full of meaning. Lay your love for the SWT ALLAH. So that we feel the beauty of love, without fear of falling into the bitterness of love!" sahut Hana, Rafa and Adrian look together. They were surprised to learn that Hana was already standing near them.

"Darling!"

"I'm sorry, I heard everything. But I make sure my eyes, ears and mouth are tightly closed. I'd assume I'd never heard of any of that!" hana said casually, while serving breakfast to Rafa and Adrian.

"Sir Adrian, when do you want to propose to Diana? Don't take too long, fearing Diana will be Annisa's mother. Since Junior High, Diana has admired Naufal's sister!"

"Uhhuuukkk"

Adrian choked, he was shocked when Hana said that. Let alone proposing to Diana, saying her love only Adrian was still afraid. Diana was not an easy woman to deal with.

"I haven't thought!" sahut Adrian, while scratching his nape that does not itch. She smiled at Adrian

"Honey, don't smile at Adrian like that! I can be jealous, don't forget Adrian ever liked you!" said Rafa annoyed, Adrian chuckled at Rafa's words.

"Hana, how is the first impression of living in a new home? You don't want to offer me a stay! I bet your house, it must be like a palace!" diana said enthusiastically, Hana shrugged both of her shoulders.

"Hmmm, it's normal! If you are interested in staying, just come. I will not forbid. Coincidentally this morning, Rafa suddenly went out of town. You can stay at my house!" hana said casually, Diana nodded many times. She wanted to see Hana's new home. Diana's shadow of Hana's house must have been huge. Diana had seen a picture of the Prawira family home. So it's likely that Hana's house is also that big.

Diana and Hannah are resting. They had lunch with the other officers. Hana always eats on time. For Hana her employees are like brothers, there is nothing to be differentiated.

Kreeekk

The sound of the door opening. Hana and Diana looked at each other at the same time. They were both surprised to see the guests coming. Instantly Diana's hand clenched furiously. Hana quickly held Diana's hand. Asking Diana to control her emotions.

Hana smiled greeting the woman who had just entered into her frame. Hana never thought of getting angry or vengeful at him. That woman is none other than Sesilia Anastsya. Ex meaningful woman in Rafa's life her husband.

"Thank you Hana, can we talk to you for a second!" sesil said softly, Hana nodded slowly.

Hana invited Sesil into Diana's room. Hannah saw the doubt in Sesil's eyes. It was as if he was afraid to say something, but his heart wanted to say it. With a smile, Hana invited Sesil to sit down. Hana served a cup of tea to Sesil and himself.

"Please drink, just a cup of tea!" hana said kindly, Sesil smiled as he nodded. Hana sipped her tea, and so did Sesil.

"Hana, I'm sorry about that. I want to ask you something. Maybe what I said would make you hate Rafa. I'm saying all this, because I can't hold back my love for Rafa!" said Sesil, Hana was silent.

Hana had actually thought about all of this. One day Sesil will meet her, telling her all the disgrace of her husband. How far along the relationship between the two. But Hannah never expected. If all would happen today. As his heart begins to receive Rafa back.

"Say Miss Sesil, I will listen to her. No matter how harsh the reality is, I'm ready to hear it. Regarding my decision, hate or accept Rafa's brother. It's not your right to decide, because he's my husband and I'm still his wife!" hana said softly, Sesil smiled cynically.

With pride Sesil told everything that happened between him and Rafa. Beautiful nights they had together. The days they spent were full of love. Relationships based on a wrong love. Sesil said all the memories he thought were beautiful and full of love.

Sesil said it without feeling ashamed. For him what he did with Rafa was a loving bond. With arrogance Sesil broke Hana's heart. His arrogance seemed to want to say, he deserved to be with Rafa. All the words of Sesil were like a dagger slicing through Hana's heart.

No longer can Hana cry, her tears are dry. When he realizes, Rafa's dark past is like the death of a ray in his life. The bitterness of reality that Hana heard, breaking down the defense that Hana deliberately built very solidly. Hana wanted to scream, but her voice disappeared along with reluctant tears.

"Hana, I beg you to return Rafa to me. Leave him for the past we've been through. You as a woman, certainly feel how worthless I am now. I can only marry Rafa, I only love Rafa!"

Deg Deg Deg

Hana's heart was beating quite fast. When she heard a woman ask her husband without feeling guilty. Hana gently rubbed her distended stomach. The baby witnesses her love with Rafa.

"Miss Sesil, you were wrong to ask Rafa to me. You should have come to Rafa's sister. Ask for responsibility, if you really want it. Till anytime? I'm not going to return Rafa's brother to you. I never felt like taking Rafa's sister from anyone? Rafa's brother is my whole husband, the father of the baby I bear. After all, there will never be a wife who is willing to lose the husband she loves!" hana said firmly, Sesil inflamed. At first he thought Hana would be disgusted at Rafa. But her conjecture is wrong, Hana stays firm on her love.

"I know Hana, you hang with Rafa. For you are afraid of living poor. You're afraid of losing Rafa's treasure! Aren't you ashamed? Living with a sinful man!" sesil said angrily, but Hana responded calmly.

"Miss Sesil, you should have realized something. Everything that happened between you, not just because of my husband's bad attitude. But you are a person who can never take care of yourself. You hand over a woman's precious crown to a man who is not necessarily your husband. I said all this, not wanting to justify my husband's attitude. He was wrong, very wrong and despicable. But his past cannot ruin our marriage. The future we started to knit together. So free you sue me. Finish the past, both of you. Rafa's past is not my responsibility, I just want to carve out a future with Rafa and our children!" hana said calmly, Sesil was inflamed.

Braaakkk

"You're cruel Hana, you're selfish not caring about my feelings!" sesil said as he kicked the table. Hana touched her chest that was beating violently. He was shocked and afraid to see Sesil's anger. Hana saw Sesil's hand raised, Hana stood up swiftly holding the hand of Sesil who wanted to slap him.

"Miss Sesil, your behavior reflects an uneducated person. You're an honorable person, you better take care of your attitude!" hana said while throwing Sesil's hand rough.

"Where are you!"

"Never dare touch Hana with your dirty hands. You should be ashamed as a woman. You came here to ask for another woman's husband. Proudly saying the disgrace of your past. Where is your pride as a woman? To break the heart of a wife. If anyone is responsible for your sin. It's not Hana, it's you and Rafa! So go there, ask her to marry you. Give her the warmth you once offered her!" diana was rude. Sesil left Hana and Diana in a fit of rage.

"Honey, maybe papa's not the best man. But I'm sure you can be a good husband and father. We should be able to be the ones to support him wholeheartedly. Papa's past may be dark, but we can make your future bright. Mama hopes with the presence of you, able to strengthen the love of mama and papa. A love that stands above a past filled with gloom. May the birth of you, bring happiness in exchange for your sadness and tears!" batin Hana while gently rubbing her stomach.

"Hana, you're fine!" diana said worriedly, Hana nodded.

"I won't fall just because of the past!"
