STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE

STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Ana Uhibbukka


The break of dawn greeted the residents to start the activity. With the warm rays of the dawn the creatures were excited. Like a warm mother. Warm embrace of the sky that shields and protects the inhabitants of the earth. The chirping of birds together produces a beautiful harmony of tones. Adding the warmth of the morning to His creation. All real and beyond lies. Everything is created with its own meaning. Without realizing we are linked to each other.


Since morning Hana has been busy arranging the needs out of town. For the first time since marrying Rafa, Hana will travel out of town with Rafa. Hana is very excited to prepare all the needs while outside the city. Don't go with Rafa. Hana has almost never been out of town. Just to visit your brother's house. Hana never knew her family? Especially her mother's family. If from the father, Hana once met his grandfather. A grandfather who became Hana's guardian when she married Rafa. The grandfather who handed Hana hand to Rafa Akbar Prawira as the master of the afterlife.


Hana was really excited by the departure today. Rafa is on a vacation for this trip. Actually, this time the trip is not purely for a vacation. Rafa purposely went to review the project site. Rafa takes Hana. So that Hana does not prejudge badly. Because of the location to be addressed, there is no other boarding school where Kiara studied. Where are Mila and Rizal? Rafa doesn't want Hana to feel suspicious and jealous. If Hana refuses to join, Rafa will ask the departing team. Rafa won't leave without Hana.


The departure of Rafa time brings a special team that will work on the project of building new buildings and repairing existing mosques in boarding schools. Rafa special jump directly watching. Rafa wants to avenge the 6 years that have been in the pesantren. Rafa wants to help the progress of the boarding school.


The pesantren initially refused. Rizal's parents who are none other than pesantren feel Rafa is too much help. Finally with a heavy heart Rafa will build by receiving existing funds. The lack of development will be borne by Rafa. The deal was eventually agreed by two parties.


"Honey, Fathan is crying!" rafa shouted from outside the room. Hana was busy putting in all the clothes she was going to carry. Hana prepared all the needs very carefully. He doesn't want anyone left behind. All Fathan's needs are done in the packing. Rafa's needs are also finished, only his needs are not finished.


"Darling, Fathan Haus!" said Rafa, holding Fathan. Hana turned her head and took Fathan to give ASI. Both of Rafa's eyes are perfectly rounded. He was surprised to see the many clothes Hana would bring. Rafa turned to his small suitcase and belonged to Fathan. Hana's suitcase is the largest. Rafa shook his head in disbelief, Hana did not notice Rafa's shock. Hana is giving ASI, while putting Fathan to sleep.


Since Hana is busy preparing for her departure come with Rafa. Fathan is being tipped off to Rafa. With great care Rafa nurtures Fathan. After an hour or so, Fathan cried for Hana. It turned out that Fathan was not only thirsty, but he was also sleepy. The proof was a few minutes he was given ASI. Fathan was asleep.


"Darling, you didn't have the wrong bag. We're only a few days. Why are you carrying so many clothes? Your bag is like someone moving house!" said Rafa astonished, Hana put her index finger right in the middle of her tiny lips. Ask Rafa not to be noisy, because Fathan just fell asleep. Hana put Fathan down carefully. Then he approached the confused Rafa.


"Sir Rafa, we're there three days. I change clothes 3x a day, not if Fathan vomits or what? I'll definitely change, I'll have to prepare extra clothes as well. If I don't bring a lot of clothes, who will I wear?" hana said coldly, Rafa approached Hana. In a soft voice, Rafa said to Hana.


"Honey you don't have to carry a lot of games. We go to the pesantren, it's inappropriate that we look excessive. Just bring enough clothes, the rest we think about later!" rafa said explaining, Hana nodded in understanding. What Rafa said was right? Pesantren life is very different from outside pesantren. Simple life is far from fancy and exaggerated.


Hana brings a lot of gamis solely a preparation. Hannah did not want to trouble others. Especially using someone else's game. Finally Hana made one of her clothes belong to Rafa. Hana felt ashamed, for making the wrong decision. Hana felt guilty for being overdone.


"Darling!" greeting Rafa, while turning Hana's body facing towards him. Rafa lifted Hana's chin slowly. Rafa stared at the two regretful eyeballs. Something Rafa never wanted to see. Something that would put Hannah to shame. After being satisfied to look at the face of Hana who continued to look down felt guilty. Rafa pulled Hana's body into his arms.


"Darling, not everyone has to be right. He is usually right. Wrong is not embarrassing. We can realize wrongly that we are not perfect. So that we don't always feel right, in front of others. We are just ordinary people who can live. I understand your ignorance, because I lived there. I said it so no one would think badly of you. I'm the only husband you have the right to blame. Your mistake is not a despicable thing, but the form of my inability to guide you. I honestly never wanted to see you wrong. But with you making a mistake, I have a chance to be a real priest. I can remind you of being a real husband. Let me be your priest now. I will accept your fault, I will see your truth. You are there to guard my honor. I'm here to protect your honor. We are two souls of one heart who will be bound to each other!" said Rafa, Hana nodded in Rafa's arms. Gently Rafa rubbed Hana's head covered in hijab. Rafa kissed the top of Hana's head gently.


"Sir Rafa sorry and thank you. Unknowingly, I was arrogant and arrogant. I haughty feel, what am I thinking right? But I forget that there is still sky above. No matter how fast we walk, we can fall. Thank you for opening my heart's eyes, for the vague mistake I made. If Rafa doesn't remind me, I'll be proud to feel like I'm always right. I unconsciously started to get arrogant with what I had. I forgot if I used to, let alone carry this much clothing. Choosing the best I can't. Now the comfort you give makes me glare, forget the feelings of others. Had Rafa remained silent, I would have been utterly ashamed. How many hearts will be hurt. Unknowingly I would make many people spiteful and envious. Really I never want to be the reason someone is jealous or spiteful. Thank you and sorry for embarrassing you!" said Hana, Rafa nodded slowly. She understood why Hana could do that? Rafa knows that Hana didn't know how to do it. Rafa knows Hana more than anyone?


"No Hana Khairunnissa would embarrass me. For he keeps my honor above his honor. Honey, I'll be there to protect you. You exist to take care of me. Two words one meaning, but different understanding. I protect your body and soul. While you keep the honor of my hereafter world! Thank you for being the mother of my afterlife!" said Rafa, Hana nodded in Rafa's arms.


"Ana uhibbukka!" rafa said softly, lifting Hana's face. Looking up at Rafa, Rafa looked down.


CUPS


"Thank you for being the owner of my ribs!" rafa said shortly after a brief kiss on Hana's lips.


"Rafa Akbar Prawira, thank you for loving me because of God. Only that love I always miss in my every bow. Your figure never interested me, but my heart still firmly chose you. Now it is real that you look different, stored a clean heart in you. The first time I felt you appreciated me. Your advice is the only way to make me feel like you appreciate it. You are really the Rafa I chose and selected for me. Thank you for being a lamp in the darkness of my heart and the silence of my soul. My heart feels warm hearing your rebuke. Rafa Akbar Prawira, there's nothing more I wish for. Only be the makmum of your afterlife I dreamt of." Inner Hana in Rafa's arms.
