STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Love is Comfortable

After last night's good news. Since morning Rafa has been busy forbidding Hana from doing anything. Rafa seemed to be afraid of something happening to Hana. Instead Hana seemed to ignore the attention of Rafa who tends to curb. Hana seems to think of the wind and then all the attention of Rafa. Instead of obeying or rejecting, Hana prefers to be quiet and do everything Hana likes.

This morning Hana called Diana. He was planning to take Diana away. Hana plans to get Diana to buy Salsa's engagement kit. Hana did not tell Rafa. So that he doesn't fuss. Rafa's protection even seemed to curb. That's what makes Hana feel uncomfortable and reluctant to tell Rafa.

Diana comes with Adrian, the relationship between the two is getting better. Just waiting for a family meeting that has not yet materialized. Adrian's family has not been able to come Adrian's grandmother's condition which suddenly decreased making Adrian's parents delay his arrival. Salsa and Naufal decide that they will be engaged soon. The Naufal family did not forbid, nor did it allow. They gave Naufal their freedom. They did not promise to attend. The reason for their hatred is none other than Salsa's relationship with Hana. They still blame Hana. Over changing his hands Wirawan company into the hands of Rafa.

"Diana, you've arrived. Just have breakfast. After that we leave!" hana said casually, Diana nodded softly confirming Hana's words. Adrian already knows the departure plan of Hana and Diana. Salsa could not go. He has to go to college. So Hana and Diana will be going both ways. Rafa who had just come down had heard Hana's words. With a look of astonishment, Rafa asked Hana. But Hana did not answer, so Rafa asked Diana. The result remains the same, both Hana and Salsa speak a thousand languages.

"Adrian, they're both compact silent. Tell me honestly where are they going? Why does Hana seem to be poking at me? I'm sure Diana told you. Where's she going with Hana?" cerocos Rafa, Adrian turned to Diana and Hana. Both of them signal Adrian to be silent. Adrian shrugged his shoulders, a sign he knew nothing!

"Rather than taking care of women's affairs. We better have breakfast, then leave immediately. This morning we will hold a meeting with a foreigner. This meeting is important for the procurement of medical equipment in a hospital managed by Naufal!" adrian said diverting the conversation, Rafa shook his head weakly. With full authority, Rafa took off his suit and tie. Then roll his shirt over the elbow.

"If Hana didn't say, where would they go? I won't go to the office either. So I can accompany him all day. I don't want anything to happen to Hana!" said Rafa casually, Hana patted his head slowly. He doesn't believe Rafa can be that easy to decide, not to go to the office. Demi can accompany Hana away. Diana chuckled at the confused Hana. Originally wanting to leave secretly, now instead had to go in escorts. Rafa himself will accompany Hana shopping. Rafa's protection really keeps Hana from wrinkling. Adrian pats Rafa on the shoulder. He doesn't accept that Rafa decides to take a work holiday.

"Don't fuck about you Rafa. They're our most important partners. If you don't come to the office. We could suffer losses. They can cancel the employment contract with our company!" adrian said annoyed, Rafa looked at a glance. Hana smiled hearing Adrian's words. This way Rafa will stay in the office. While Hana and Diana will go shopping for Salsa's engagement.

"I'd rather lose that contract. Than I should let Hana go alone. Hana's condition is not stable, her pregnancy this time is different from Fathan. I don't want to miss Hana's second pregnancy. Because when Fathan was pregnant, I wasn't next to Hana!" said Rafa firmly, Adrian nodded in defeat. He was already unlikely to win arguing with Rafa. His love for Hana, able to change the world as he wishes. Rafa won't care, if he has to lose one contract for Hana.

"Well, today we are on leave to be office employees. We will be the bodyguards of two beautiful angels and one handsome prince. If you are on leave I am on leave. When else can you walk alone with Diana adoring my heart?" adrian said, Hana and Diana turned almost simultaneously. They shook their heads in disbelief at Adrian's ridiculous idea. Rafa thumbs up to Adrian. As if he agreed with Adrian's idea.

...☆☆☆☆☆...

"Salsa, we need to talk before things get any further. There's something you should know about me. Including the character of my family who considers the treasure of everything!" naufal said, Salsa nodded in understanding. Salsa knew who Naufal was and how his family treated Hana? But Salsa was silent waiting for honesty and readiness Naufal told the truth to Salsa.

"Say, at least it's much better to get hurt now. No more tears after the wedding!" salsa said, Naufal nodded in understanding. Naufal sipped the coffee he ordered. Naufal is looking for Salsa on campus. He wanted to tell his heart to Salsa.

"I'm not a man who is good at seducing. I'm not a single man either. I've had Annisa. To be honest I married you all for Annisa's sake. Your affection makes Annisa comfortable and happy. All this time it was just Annisa's smile the reason I stayed standing straight. Now the presence of you makes that smile always visible. If you ask, is love for you? I'm still worried, which I must be feeling right now. I admire your gentle attitude towards my daughter. Now you are in my family, like the sunshine that always warms. Thank you for accepting Annisa as your daughter. I'm sorry if I'm still the old Naufal. Not wanting to be in the past. But I'm still learning to look to the future with you and Annisa!" naufal said softly, Salsa silently listened. Naufal let out a long breath. As if to say, he had escaped a heavy burden.

"So Naufal, I accept you also do not want to beg for love, which from the beginning was not mine. I married you for your little daughter. I was too afraid of losing her, I loved Annisa like a princess born from my womb. If ever after marriage, that love never existed. I will have no regrets, for the love of Annisa is there to replace her. Whether there is love, I will stay by your side. Being a good teacher. Naufal's love for Hana's sister, made me certain that Naufal's brother was a good priest for me. I'll wait for the feeling to exist. This marriage is not only for the sake of a pseudo-love, but I make this marriage my worship and the perfection of my religion. Thank you for accepting me to be the makmum of your afterlife!" salsa said, Naufal nodded while looking down. He did not dare to look into Salsa's two beautiful eyes. Naufal felt guilty, as he intended to marry Salsa only for Annisa's sake.

"Sorry!"

" Naufal doesn't need to apologize. The steadfastness of your love for sister Hana is not wrong. The love you show is unholy. Your love's sanctity is proven real. Even though love torments you, you do not think you want to take Hana's sister. I believe Brother Naufal is trying to forget that love. I don't mind being used as an excuse to forget that love. The same is true of your sacred love for Hana's sister. Holy is my race to you, without coercion and without the desire to destroy. The love between us will come. When our hearts are comfortable with each other. Love is comfortable and love will coexist. The beginning of love is a comfortable feeling. Travel a love story for the sake of comfort and the end of love, to feel the meaning of life together comfortably. We start our marriage with a sense of comfort, so that love comes along with the comfort created!" salsa said wisely, Naufal nodded slowly.

"Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of love!"
