STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Last Night

Returning from Rafa's office, he went straight to the elite cemetery where his mother was buried. It is not a public funeral as both of Hana's parents are buried. This cemetery is far away from the city. Funerals for some people. For years Rafa never set foot in this cemetery.

Today is the second time Rafa has come here. The first time he came, while carrying the body of the mother. Rafa was traumatized when he came here. At the age of adult. Rafa loses his mother, and has to let go of the father who went somewhere?

To be honest Rafa lost his mother figure. But Rafa was also angry, because he thought. His mother caused his father to stay away from him. Rafa loves but hates. Missed but didn't want to meet. But all misunderstandings were answered without a doubt. When I was proud to admit my mistake. Rafa's anger was treated when the mother's letter calmed him.

"Sir Rafa, let's go in. Where is Ainun's mama's grave? Why is Rafa daydreaming?" hana said while holding Fathan. Rafa and Hana come together, and Hana never uses the services of a nanny. Because Fathan still consumes ASI exclusive. So he couldn't escape Hana's sling. Fathan was never fussy, except he was thirsty and sleepy.

"Darling, mama's grave is a little far above. It's better for Fathan to carry it. Later you are tired of having to walk a long way, while holding Fathan!" said Rafa, Hana shook her head weakly. Hana deliberately held Fathan in a position in front. To make Fathan comfortable when taken a long way. Hannah had anticipated the worst possibility. Rafa is always looking for excuses to keep Hana from going to the funeral. It wasn't Hana if she easily gave up.

Seeing Fathan soundly, he slept in Hana's arms. His head rested on Hana's chest. Fathan littlepu was not distracted during the trip. Hana smilingly looked at Rafa, as if saying that Fathan was comfortable sleeping in his arms.

Hana walked behind Rafa. What Rafa said was true. Ainun's mama's tomb is very far away, so it takes extra energy to get there. The funeral manager deliberately made a parking lot a little away from the cemetery area. This cemetery is divided according to religion and class. Today is Hana's first experience entering the cemetery, but it's like an ordinary person's estate.

Hana looks at the price list of treatments for one grave each year. When compared to the cost of living Hana in a year, almost eleven twelve. Hana shook her head. See how expensive a funeral is in this place. Rafa looks at Hana who is surprised to see the funeral care price list. This is the reason Rafa doesn't want to bring Hana here. Hana's simple nature is inversely proportional to the luxury of a tomb here. But Rafa remains Rafa who will be by bow Hana. Although with a heavy heart Rafa still brings Hana to come here.

Bughhhh

"Awwwrss!" hana shouted, shortly after hitting Rafa's strapping body. Hana looks at Rafa's body which suddenly stops. Hana who admired and regretted this too good funeral. Not seeing Rafa who stopped suddenly.

Rafa's body suddenly seemed stiff, he stopped pecking not far from his mother's grave. Hana who accidentally hit him as if he was not cared about. The two eagle eyes of Rafa are perfectly rounded. He looked right in front of his mother's grave. Standing the figure of the man who years ago dumped him. A husband who hurts his mother's mind and fissile. Rafa saw a Gunawan Adi Prawira standing staring at his wife's headstone. Ainun Rohmawati, a girl from a small town who was forced to marry him.

Gunawan stared at the tombstone and tomb of his wife that he could never admit during his life. Only regret that Gunawan now feels. Sorry he no longer got. Gunawan sculpted silently in front of the tomb of the woman who was determined to love him. The last night of his meeting was always remembered. Ainun's soft voice was always blazing in Gunawan's ears. Ainun's face when crying clearly imagined every night. The foolishness of a husband who doubts the sincerity and sanctity of simple girl love.

"Ainun, I'm sorry. Even now an apology can no longer be said. I've been guilty of you my whole life. My jealousy trumps my common sense. Destroying the sanctity of our love. I never thought what I saw would be the ruin of our marriage. Without me asking, I download you to do contempt. I am more despicable than you. It is true that one person says, one index finger points at another. Unknowingly 4 index fingers pointed at me. You are a good wife if you marry someone else. You will never live in bitterness and tears!" said Gunawan lirih, while rubbing Ainun's headstone. Rafa stood looking at his father. Hana looked up from behind Rafa's body. Shutting his mouth in surprise. He saw Gunawan sitting beside a tomb. Hana had guessed, if it was Ainun's mama's grave.

Gunawan's hand rubbed the headstone in front of him. He rubbed it as if he was rubbing Ainun's face. Gunawan looked away considering the last night he met Ainun. The night he left trust for his son.

FLASHBACKS

"Say quickly what do you want to see me for? I don't want Sabrina to be mad at me!" gunawan said coldly, Ainun smiled gently he pulled Gunawan's hand. Ainun kissed the back of Gunawan's hand with gentleness. Gunawan's body is frozen. Her lips were mute at Ainun's never-changing attitude towards her. An attitude of respect despite being hurt, always appreciative even though betrayed. Never had Gunawan felt Sabrina's tenderness kiss her hand. Only pressure and anger was he always received. Karma from the betrayal he committed.

"Mas, I came to see you because I wanted to set you free. I don't want to see you haunted by guilt. What happened wasn't entirely your fault? Great love for me, blinding the eyes of your heart. Think what that night looks like is real and true? As a husband, it is natural that you are angry. Everyone has the right to be jealous!" ainun said softly, Gunawan looked down embarrassed. He knew exactly what Ainun said?

"If you only bring up the past. We better stop this. I'll take you home!" gunawan said annoyedly, Ainun smiled wryly.

"If I divorce Sabrina, it's possible that we'll reunite!" gunawan said, Ainun shook his head weakly. It was too late for the two to be together.

"Mas, I came to you not to love you. I just came to ask you to see Rafa tomorrow. For 6 years he missed your love. Let Rafa hug you tomorrow. Our story ended a few minutes ago. When my eyes saw you holding little Kiara. Deck you never gave our Rafa. When my two ears heard, you were fond of Sabrina just for the sake of talking to me. When both my hands looked up, hoping that your young wife would let us meet. It was all over between us. My 6-year wait must end. I don't want to see you feel guilty. You're the priest I chose, I won't let my priest be blamed. Tonight, my talak, so that there will be no more ties between us. No one will blame you for my pain anymore. For you are no longer my priest!" said Ainun softly, Gunawan lowered his head weakly. His hands clenched, as if he wanted to get angry. Not to anyone else, but to himself.

"Ainun, why did you come to me without anger? Have you not been hurt for the past 6 years. I'm a jerk, you deserve to be angry and scold me. It's not coming with a smile, it's like your heart never hurt!"

"I was hurt, but much more hurt. When I saw you insulted by Sabrina's attitude. I was hurt, but it hurt a lot more. When I saw you being humiliated, just because of your love for her. Mas, don't let Rafa see his papa insulted. So that he doesn't feel worthy to hate Sabrina. Shut up if that's the best way to get rid of Sabrina's anger!"

"That's how much you love me, until there's no anger for my every mistake!" gunawan said, Ainun shook his head weakly.

"I think for 6 years I've waited enough and answered how much I love you. It's all gonna end tonight. If he can make you happy, I will free you from this marriage!"

"Mas, I'm meeting because I want to leave this box. Give it to Rafa later when he gets married and has a son. There was a letter that I just wrote. I want Rafaku to read it. So that he can look at you with love and anger!"

"Give it to Rafa!"

"Once in my life ask for your help. If only I had been there when he got married. Then I'll take it from you. I'll give it to Rafa myself. I never know until when this body is united with my weak body? One thing I must have seen. I love you by faith, then by faith also love Sabrina!"

FLASH BACK OFF

"Sir Rafa, papa loves mama Ainun! It is clear from his regrets. Never get angry or revenge on your father. Because your anger will never bring Ainun's mama back. Make mama Ainun happy, when she sees her son with a big soul!" hana said, Rafa nodded slowly.

"Papa, why after all this time? I saw love for my mother. Whatever happens, thank you for remembering my mom!" said Rafa coldly, Hana smiled greeting the surprised Gunawan.

Rafa and Hana were sitting next to Ainun's tomb. Both men raised their hands, praying for forgiveness for their dead mother.

"Sir Rafa, now only prayers he needs. Not regret and anger. Tell him to calm down. It wasn't someone else's hand that he expected, to clean his grave. But it was your hand he held when he taught you to walk. Not to burden you, but to remind you. That only this headstone reminds you of him. This mound of land is his best place right now. Always remember him, with prayer in your bow. Come back, Rafa, my boarding boy. Not for my sake or Fathan, but for the sake of mama Ainun's forgiveness!" hana said shortly after they prayed. Rafa looked down silently without a word.

"Rafa, forgive papa!"
