STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Karmila Intan Safitri

"Darling, let's go in. You haven't had lunch, you'll be sick!" rafa said softly, Hana turned to see Rafa standing not far from her.

Upon arrival Rizal and Mila enter the Restaurant. Rafa decides to leave the restaurant. He wants to find Hana, Rafa is worried because Hana has not returned for a long time. The little one fell asleep, because before leaving Hana had given ASI. Rafa leaves the little one to Salsa and Diana.

Rafa tells Mila and Rizal to find Hana. Rafa is anxious after Rizal accidentally says he has just finished the mushola. Rafa is worried if Hana meets Mila. Rafa doesn't want Hana to think badly about her relationship with Mila. Rafa leaves Mila and Rizal, he asks Zyan and Adrian to accompany them both.

On arrival outside the restaurant, Rafa sees Hana playing with some children. Rafa saw Hana laughing. Hana is chasing each other with the street kids. It just so happened that Hana was at the mushola. They were not far from Hannah. Hana's simple nature that does not distinguish between each other makes Hana feel comfortable among them. Hana did not feel uneasy, when she saw the children.

Hana laughed under the sun. There was no heat or thirst felt by him. It was clearly a happy face from Hana. Rafa had never seen such a laugh. The simple happiness of his wife that Rafa can't afford.

"Sir Rafa, why is it outside? There's something left in the car!" hana said casually, Rafa saw his wife's relaxed attitude as something strange. Rafa thinks that Hana deliberately wants to forget all about him.

"Darling, you must be tired. We better get in. Let them come in too. We'll buy food!" said Rafa, Hana shook her head weakly. Actually Hana had already bought a meatball cart for them. Hana plays with them, to spend time waiting for the meatballs to be wrapped.

"I bought them meatballs. We play waiting for everything to be wrapped. Sorry I ordered a bowl. So maybe I'll eat here, not inside!" hana said, Rafa nodded slowly. With a look of astonishment, Rafa looked at Hana who was always smiling.

"Darling, you're not angry. You have been smiling at me since. Does that mean you're not jealous anymore?" said Rafa astonished, Hana shook her head weakly. Hana was sitting on the sidewalk, Rafa was doing the same. The two sat together, the first experience of a CEO sitting under the feel of the sidewalk. The street kids are home, Hana and Rafa are gone.

"My jealousy is free, she's the woman who loves you never thought she'd want to have you. Then why should I be angry? It's not his fault to love you, he got to know you first. But I'm the one who's fooling you!" hana said softly, Rafa held Hana's hand. Then kiss her gently lovingly.

"Then why don't you go inside? I want to introduce you to them!" said Rafa, Hana immediately cupped his hands together. Rafa pulls Hana's hand down, Rafa doesn't need Hana's apology. For Rafa Hana's smile was more than enough.

"I saw them on the side of the road. I remember myself first. I want to share a little happiness, that's why I call them. Unknowingly I played with them. Brother Rafa saw for himself, their smiles while carrying a pack of meatballs. There's no happiest smile besides that!"

"Darling, I thought you met Mila. Then think nothing of me and him. I'm afraid you've kept the word. Leaving myself without saying goodbye. I could be ruined, baby!" said Rafa, Hana does not care about Rafa's words. Hana is busy with a bowl of meatballs, Rafa rubs Hana's head covered in hijab. Never Rafa thought about losing Hana.

"Sir Rafa, why not accompany Msbak Mila? Even left to see me, I'll be in soon!" said Hana while chewing meatballs, Rafa took a tissue. Rafa gently wiped away Hana's lips that were filled with meatballs. Rafa looked at Hana fixedly. Gradually Hana threw away all of Rafa's anxiety.

"Darling, what a smile you always wanted me to see. Now I understand, how valuable are you? If only I could repeat time. Never wanted me to know Karmila Intan Safitri in my life. I will never destroy my life with Sesilia Anastsya. Enough I know one name, Hana Khairunnissa. So that there is never a word of jealousy in your heart and mind. To be honest, I'm happy to see your jealousy, because that's when your real love for me was real. I will always hold your hand until you have a reason to take my hand off!" batin Rafa while looking at Hana's cheerful face.

"Sir Hana, the little one is awake!" salsa shouted, as Hana walked quickly. He approached the little one, carrying her so as not to cry. Mila sees the woman she met at the mushola, Rafa's wife. The man in his bow. Mila looks down embarrassed after knowing the fact that she has loved someone else's husband.

"Not the fussy little guy, but his fussy papa is looking for his mother. I got dizzy seeing Rafa pacing around indistinctly. He's like an iron!" adrian said casually, Rafa approached Adrian. Rizal smiled faintly, he thought about the feelings of his brother Mila. Rizal knows how Mila is feeling right now?

"You'll feel, what did I feel when Diana disappeared?" rafa said, Adrian looked at Diana. As if asking Diana not to leave him.

"Hana, is that woman? You deserve to be jealous, beautiful and sholeha!" whispered Diana while embracing Hana. After a brief acquaintance with Rizal and Mila, Hana slightly stayed away. Hana wants to give ASI to the little guy.

"You are busy with your partner. I am single without a partner. Salsa, willing not to be Zyan's wife!" zyan said, Salsa was surprised to hear Zyan's words.

"Don't!" hana and Diana shouted, Salsa lowered her head after hearing Hana's voice. Salsa came to this town for school. Not just looking for a life partner.

"You've got the answer. Hana refused you at the first place!" adrian said, Diana turned to Adrian.

" Who received Adrian's brother as my future husband?" diana said coldly, Rafa laughed seeing his two best friends rejected at once.

While everyone was busy joking, Mila approached Hana. He sat next to Hana who was giving breast milk to the little guy. Hana smiles as sweetly as possible, pretending never to know Rafa's friendship with Mila.

"Sir, I'm sorry I loved your husband wrong. For the sake of ALLAH, I never thought of destroying my family. I never knew if Rafa's sister was married" Mila said, cupping her hands together. Hana pulls Mila's hand down.

"Bak is never wrong, love is a gift that we cannot avoid. Be thankful when you can feel love. It means we still have a loving heart. We both love the same man. Madam Mila knew her first from me, but the path of fate helped both of us. I don't want to apologize to Mila. Instead I want us to embrace each other. We can be brothers. Believe me, one day there will be a rib owner who created you. He will come to make you the owner of his heart. Whoever he is I pray Mila is always happy? Be sure of your love and faith. There will be a priest of your hereafter!" said Hana, Mila nodded slowly.

"Sir Rafa loves you so much, it's obvious from his worries. Now all is answered, Rafa not only loves you. She feels comfortable with you, a feeling that won't be easy to get from another woman!"

"Ana Uhhibbukkafillah, one word for my husband!" hana said with a smile.
