STEADFASTNESS OF LOVE
Engagement Day

Later tonight will be the engagement of Naufal and Salsa. Rafa deliberately held the event with great fanfare. But it can still be said to be simple, for the event held by Rafa's classmates. Hana forbids Rafa from holding a too festive event. Hana lets Rafa have an event, because Rafa wants to be a good brother to Salsa. The same thing Rafa would do, for Kiara and Lisa. This special event Rafa only invited some of his closest relatives and coworkers.

Even Rafa deliberately invited Rizal and his family to come. Kiara is also picked up by Rafa. Tonight there will be a meeting of two couples who will lead a happy life. Rafa wants to be a good brother to his three younger siblings. Rafa gives the same portion of affection to his three younger siblings. Lisa will be here tonight. It's been a week since Lisa was in town. But Rafa cheers Lisa's arrival on Hana. Not wanting to lie to Hana, but she didn't want to see Hana depressed. Hana's pregnancy was a little problematic. Hormones that go up and down make Hana easily angry and jealous. Rafa only keeps Hana's calm condition awake.

Tonight's event will be very festive filled with the warmth of my family. Rafa gave a lot of surprises to Hana tonight. Kiara's arrival is unknown to Hana. Lisa's arrival as another sister to Rafa. Actually, Hana's condition has weakened since last night. If indeed Hana intends not to attend the event later tonight. Her pregnancy this time was very spoiled. Hana decides to stay home with Fathan. Diana will take Hana home. In exchange Rafa will come as an older brother to Salsa.

That night when everyone was getting ready to go to Salsa's engagement. Hana's the only one who's upset. There are many reasons that make him angry. His desire to accompany Salsa failed. Seeing Rara's good looks will definitely make all eyes look at her. Diana understood the disappointment of her best friend. For the sake of accompanying Hana, she decided to stay trying to please Hana.

"Sabrina, you feel there's something strange no. I haven't seen Hana the village woman since. I just saw her sister, look at Rafa standing alone!" mira whispered, Sabrina nodded slowly. They were not far from Rafa. It looks like Rafa is standing alone, without Hana. Salsa looks very beautiful with floral motifs, combined with a plain hijab of the same color. Naufal looked handsome in his suit. It was not the medical white coat that was always attached to his body. Annisa looks beautiful with the dress she wears. Everything looks perfect with a good appearance.

"I just realized Rafa was standing on his own. Where is the village lady? Did he realize? If he doesn't deserve to be on a show like this. One village woman is enough to make me reluctant to be here!" sabrina whispered back, Mira turned her head while smiling cynically. The event went on without a hitch. The engagement was very solemn and quiet.

It wasn't long before Rizal showed up with Mila. Abi and Umi can not come, the long journey is impossible for them to travel. Rizal's appearance looks more dazzling. He used a long-sleeved hem, not a cocoa shirt as usual. Rizal looks much more handsome. Mila is much prettier with thin make up. Everyone looks good with their own looks. Only Hana was invisible to the trunk of her nose. The cheerfulness in the party was inversely proportional to the loneliness experienced by Hana.

"Sabrina, where's your daughter Kiara? I heard he came home from the boarding house. Why didn't he come with you?" mira asked casually, Sabrina lifted both her shoulders. It was as if he did not know of Kiara's whereabouts. Kiara's arrival is not known by anyone? Rafa accidentally cheers Kiara's arrival. Even Sabrina and Gunawan never knew about Kiara's arrival.

"I don't know where he is? Rafa didn't tell us where Kiara lived? He just said, there will be important issues discussed. It's all about Kiara!" sabrina said, Mira nodded in agreement. Two upper-class women who are always looking for other people's mistakes. Both Sabrinaa and Mira never thought, to open their eyes once. Looking on either side of Hana or Salsa. It was as if different statuses were much more valuable, than the happiness of their sons.

After all the process is complete, all the invitations sit in the space that has been provided. The Wirawan family sat down together with Adrian and Salsa. While Rizal and Mila will sit one table with the Prawira family. Rafa deliberately set all this up. Rafa will introduce Rizal and Lisa to the Prawira family. It's time they all got to know each other.

"Papa, there are two special people I would like to introduce to the Prawira family. Two people who will be part of the Prawira family. I hope this meeting. A good first step, for a good relationship!" said Rafa, Gunawan looked at the face of the son. For a long time he had not heard papa's call from her.

Relationships that had improved, now feel bland without warmth. Rafa never stayed away, but approached Gunawan as if it was difficult to happen. With a nod of his head, Gunawan replied to Rafa. Sabrina was silent, waiting for her turn to speak. Since the incident at the hospital. Sabrina was too afraid to talk too much. Gunawan threatened to divorce Sabrina. If he talks too much. Gunawan's threat succeeded, Sabrina began to control his words. At least in front of her husband Gunawan.

"Who would you like to introduce us to?So why should we know him? What's he got to do with the Prawira family?" sahut Gunawan lirih, Rafa glanced at Rizal who was sitting lined up with Mila. Rafa smiled at him, as if signaling for Rizal to introduce himself. Kiara hasn't arrived yet, she's still in the hotel not far from Zyan's restaurant. Mr. Ardi was not present, his condition began to decline. Gunawan is now the only head of the family. Therefore Gunawan began to be firm with Sabrina.

"Papa, he was my best friend in the boarding house first. She is now a teacher to Kiara. At once he's your son-in-law, the priest to Kiara. I invited him, I wanted him to know our family. Rizal specifically chastised Kiara to me. But I haven't decided yet, either Kiara or I are still waiting for an answer from papa as Kiara's guardian. We don't want to get ahead of you, but Rafa can be sure. If Rizal's a good young man!" said Rafa firmly, Gunawan and Sabrina turned to each other. The gaze of the two locked onto Rizal's figure. Sabrina showed a dislike attitude. Instead Gunawan smiled happily, he felt Kiara found the right soul mate.

"No need to hesitate, you're Rafa's best friend. So you deserve my own son. Tonight indirectly, you want to ask for my daughter. It's lucky my daughter found a good soul mate. Someone who is able to guide him the world akhrit!" gunawan said with a smile. Rafa nodded in agreement with Gunawan's words. Rizal approaches Gunawan. Politely and gently Rizal kissed the back of Gunawan's hand. Spontaneously Gunawan pulled Rizal's body, as if happy for his daughter's choice. Rizal cupped his hands to Sabrina, but not the smile he got. Sabrina ignores Rizal. Rafa was furious at Sabrina's attitude, but Rafa held back his anger. He didn't want to cause a scene.

"It's free that he has strong faith. Marriage does not just require love and faith. A man must be independent in everything. He should be able to make his wife happy, both born and inner. Happiness does not depend. How much love is that, but how much can she give for my daughter's happiness? Being the son of the pesantren owner, does not necessarily make him deserve to be with Kiara. At least he should be able to make my daughter happy. He lived in luxury since childhood, it is inappropriate if after marriage. He must live in deprivation!" sindir Sabrina was devastated, Rizal and Mila gulped down her rough saliva. Rizal seemed to remember Kiara's words. How will his mother judge Rizal? What a different personality between Kiara and Sabrina. Gunawan was inflamed hearing Sabrina's words. He stared at Sabrina. Instead Rafa who knows, who exactly is Rizal just silent? Rafa wants to see his mother embarrassed by his attitude.

"So your mouth, have you forgotten what I said? You must realize, not all you have to value with treasures. Rafa and Hana are now happy with their little family. You saw Naufal's niece's wedding. Messy just because you and Mira are the same. Expose possessions and assume happiness will exist with luxury life!" said Gunawan emotion, Rafa and Rizal looked down to see Gunawan angry. Actually there is a sense of heartlessness, but Rizal wants to be accepted with simplicity not luxury.

"I'll be quiet, as long as it's not related to my daughter. But what happened tonight was about my daughter's happiness. I don't want him to suffer. I am the mother who conceived, gave birth and raised her. I should be worried about his happiness. I won't budge when it comes to my daughter Kiara!" sabrina seemed to justify her words. Rizal nodded in agreement, he saw the affection of a mother. Sabrina was only worried about her daughter's condition. Not to be insulting, even though the words are very inappropriate. Gunawan and Rafa finally let Sabrina talk. After all the end result, only the match between Rizal and Kiara.

"You're not wrong, every mother wants to see her daughter happy. The same attitude will be taken by my parents. When someone asked my brother Mila. But in such an attitude. It should be as parents that you ask Kiara. If she is happy with me or will suffer. You should also hear his opinion. May I be his priest someday! But behind all that, I make sure to make Kiara happy in any way! Because Kiara is the woman who made me confident and firm about this feeling. With him I am sure I can achieve the happiness of the world and the hereafter!" rizal said firmly, Rafa thumbs up at him. Mila patted the sister's shoulder slowly. It was as if I was happy to hear his words. Gunawan mangosteen, he was proud to hear the narration of Rizal.

"Why are you going to make my daughter happy? Until now, you have depended on your parents. Salary as a teacher, not worth my daughter's pocket money. Even though your family has boarding schools, I don't think it's as rich as the Prawira family!" said Sabrina cynically, Rafa immediately stared intently at Sabrina. He was angry to hear Sabrina's words getting further and more inappropriate.

"It doesn't have to be with the treasure that she makes me happy. I need faith and Islam. Treasure won't make me happy. For years I lived with luxury. I never felt shortcomings, but I never felt calm and peaceful. I felt lonely, when I saw my mom busy going out with her friends. I miss the warmth of family. But all I saw was the haughty attitude of mama who always treated papa low. He may not be blessed, but he is noble-hearted. He's a man who thinks your daughter is holy. He was the first man to believe in me. When everyone looks one eye at me. Everyone was insulting and berating, when they found out who really was Mama? But he was the one who approached me. Ignoring my past, thinking he'll live with my good and bad. Mama the treasure you are proud of, blinded both eyes of your heart. Be aware before we all get away from you!" sahut Kiaral lirih, from the beginning he heard the words of Sabrina. Something that Kiara really doesn't want. Rizal and Sabrina's meeting that makes Kiara afraid to lose one of them.

"Kiara, how dare you argue with your mother's words. Since when do you have the right to advise your mother?" sahut Sabrina was upset, Kiara shook her head weakly.

"I never wanted to tell my mom. I said something you should have said decades ago. But papa's love, papa's appreciation for mama is too big. So he was afraid to tell all these facts. To be honest I'm ashamed to know my mother was an ex-woman the other night. But when I was at the boarding school I found out how great my mama's service was to me. Even though I cried with tears of blood. I will never be able to repay your kindness. Mama everything in my life, but it's Rizal the priest I miss. I don't want my mom to get any further. It was time for my mom to realize. If there is a Allah SWT who is always waiting for your repentance!" unar Kiara lirih, then approached Sabrina and Gunawan. Kiss the back of their hands. Kiara's tears dripped down the backs of her parents' hands. Sabrina stared at the princess who was raised full of affection and luxury. He was no longer able to know.

"Mama, don't ever insult Rizal's insults about his weaknesses. He is too precious to be insulted. There will never be a marriage between me and ustad Rizal. If my mom doesn't approve. I'm more willing to see him with other women. Than I should have seen him insulted by mama's words. He's the priest I miss every night. His name is in my prayers and prayers. I wish he was perfecting my religion. But he is also my weakling, so never underestimate him. Seeing him hurt makes me angry. I don't want to hate my mom for the sake of loving her. I don't want to love her, but I hurt my mom. Kiara will remain in the middle, becoming Kiara Princess Prawira. I will pray for the happiness of you both. My mother gave birth to me and the priest led me. You're both heaven on earth and my afterlife!" said Kiara Lirih, then approached Rafa and hugged her beloved sister. Rafa received Kiara's embrace warmly. Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing Kiara's words. Rizal stared at the part towards Kiara. Kiara's defense and contentment, make Rizal steady defend Kiara.

"Braoud of you!" said Rafa, hugging Kiara. Rizal was moved to see the closeness of the brothers in front of him. Kiara looked up at Rafa with a smile as sweet as possible.

"Listen to Sabrina, Kiara put down her happiness by letting herself get hurt. Are you still acting haughty, while still thinking treasure above all else!" gunawan said, Sabrina fell silent.
