Devotion of Love

Request

"Sit down Hafidz, your brother Arkan wants to talk!" Greet Agam, Hafidz nodded slowly.

Hafidz sat right in front of Arkan and was on the left side of Agam. Arkan sat next to Hanna. A wife who hopes to be forgotten by Hafidz. Before long Tika came to bring a few cups of drinks, but not for Hanna. For Hanna is fasting the sunnah.

"Hafidz, how is Davin's condition? What did Qaila say about her condition?"

"Davin has improved, but is still recovering. Ever since Hanna took care of Davin, Qaila chose to relinquish responsibility and leave it to Hanna. So Hanna knows a lot more, about Davin's condition!"

"Hanna!" Agam said, then spontaneously Hanna looked up. Hanna stared at Hafidz. A questionable look that can't be answered. Is it the look of love or the look of hatred? But as far as they are together, Hanna always keeps her distance. It was as if there was no hope of him being united with Hafidz.

"Yes pa!"

"How's Davin doing?" Agam said firmly, Hanna lowered her head.

"Davin's condition is fine, there are only a few factors that make him sick. Davin has a history of allergies to certain foods. We need to check Davin's condition out. I took the blood sample to the lab. Tomorrow I can find out the cause of Davin's illness!" Hanna said, Agam nodded slowly.

"Thank God if he starts to improve. I hope there is no serious illness. Do whatever it takes to cure Davin. Don't let my granddaughter get sick!" Tell Agam, Hanna and Hafidz nodded together.

"Arkan, have you found the house you wanted?" Tika said, Arkan was silent.

Arkan is unable to answer, because whatever Arkan answers only makes Tika's heart hurt. The happiness of the parents is there when the child finds his dream. On the contrary, the dreams of children sometimes make them forget about parents. Things that unconsciously become the reason for parents' suffering. As is the case today, Tika's question on Arkan implies many meanings. The joy of a mother who sees her son find his dreams. At once Arkan's worries moved away from Tika.

"Mama, forgive Arkan!"

"For!" Tika, Arkan and Hanna bow. Obviously they both know the reason for the apology.

Lama Tika is waiting for a firm answer son of his pride. An answer that makes a mother's heart hurt. But it was another mother, not a strong-hearted mother like Tika. Since Arkan and Hanna were children, Tika had learned the meaning of the word sincerely. Tika tried to understand the meaning of separation, for the sake of the word unification. Tika never feared pain, for the sake of achieving happiness. An understanding that not everyone understands. Instead, it was Arkan and Hanna's weakened hearts. They were not as loud and calm as Tika. Away from Tika's view, a fly without thread. Flying without direction or purpose.

"Arkan, mama never forbid your wishes. Just like today, my mom won't stop you. You two are very grown up. I believe you can choose the right path. It's just, mama remind you guys. Sometimes the greatest desire in our minds. Not necessarily the best for us. For you Hanna, learn to understand the problem. Before you decide on the path you choose!" Tika said, Hanna looked down deeper and deeper. Hafidz felt strange about this encounter. Only the five of them, no one else.

"Arkan, before Hanna became Hafidz's wife. Papa was the guardian of her life, but after Hafidz became her husband. Only Hafidz has the right to determine Hanna's way of life. Three years of their separation, not out of incompatibility. Except his way of bringing them closer!"

"Father!" Hafidz did not understand, Agam blinked his eyes. As if to tell Hafidz. Everything's gonna be fine.

"Arkan, now tell Hafidz your wish. Ask him to give up the wife he missed. Say it out loud, as loud as you said it to papa last night!"

"But pa!" Arkan said, Tika held Arkan's hand. Warm felt flowing in his blood. Arkan started to worry about his request last night. A request that was initially considered the most correct. In fact, it has become such a deep gap.

"Tell me loudly Arkan. So that Hafidz can decide. Fulfill your request or reject it. Don't hesitate Arkan, if you think this is best for Hanna!" Say Agam with a firm tone. A gesture of disapproval of Arkan's request.

"Hanna, why are you quiet? Help your brother talk to Hafidz. Last night you were so compact to say to papa. You have your own opinions. Now tell Hafidz he has the right to decide!"

"What's the matter exactly? What did Arkan want to say to Hafidz? As much as possible Hafidz will fulfill it. If indeed Hafidz can agree to it!" Hafidz said, Arkan was silent. Why does his heart feel pain? It was so painful that Hafidz was unable to breathe. It was as if he was feeling the position of Hafidz.

"Hafidez!"

"What's up, Arkan? Say, no need to doubt!"

Duaarrr

As lightning struck his body, Hafidz fell silent. No words can come out of his mouth. Hanna asked to leave her life. Stay away from the family that loves you. Hanna chose to ignore her love. Hafidz was instantly destroyed, there was no reason for Hafidz to keep staring at the sky. Just a few days ago, Hafidz felt a sense of happiness. A ray of hope for the union of love between her and Hanna. But for real today, Hanna wants to get away from him. Hanna closed the door for him. Hafidz was silent, unable to decide anything? Silence that Agam and Tika can understand.

"Hafidz, whatever your decision? Papa won't ban it. Papa will fully support your decision. Hanna is no longer the responsibility of your father and brother Arkan. Hanna was entirely your responsibility, until you returned Hanna to us. Today your sister asked Hanna, thinking she could look after and make her sister happy. Although he forgot, there is no happiness without a soulmate!"

"Father!" Said Arkan lirih.

"What did papa say right Arkan? Did you forget your mom and dad's farewell? How many years have we lived in solitude? We tormented ourselves with farewells, thinking Arkan and Hanna were happy with the breakup. In fact, we were just happy together!"

"Papa, why do you think Hafidz deserves Hanna more? Wasn't all this time, just the grief that Hafidz gave!" Hafidz said, Agam nodded slowly.

"For papa was once in your position. I felt such great trust from my father-in-law. A father who never blames or judges every mistake. Instead, he always accepts whatever decision you make. A father who never interfered in his daughter's household. Although almost every day, her daughter's tears were dripping!" Agam said, Tika patted Agam's shoulder slowly.

"Now, you have the right to decide where Hanna will stay? With you and Davin or stay with Arkan and Aura!" Agam said firmly and loudly, Hafidz looked up at Hanna. Hope Hanna's two eyeballs give her the answers she needs.

"Thank your head, baby, please lift your head. So that I may see your wish. This is what you chose, to get out of my life and Davin. Is there no way we can be together. Maybe we can start all over from the beginning. Honey, look me in the eye. Tell me, what should I decide? I won't be able to get away from you. Your departure this time, as if your sign would never come back to me. Please dear, forgive me for all my khilaf. Come back to our little family. Hate me, but don't leave me!" Inner Hafidz pilu, while looking down.

"Hafidz, if it's hard you decide. Let papa decide!" Arkan and Hanna quietly lowered their heads. They felt Agam's indignable anger.

"Arkan, answer papa's question. After that you will know, your request is either true or false!" Agam said, Arkan nodded his head slowly.

"Arkan, if one day there is an older brother who asks Aura to you. What answer?"

"I won't give it up!"

"If someone were to bite Aura, what would be your attitude?"

"I'll forbid him from seeing Aura. I won't let a single person hurt Aura by steaming the flaws in our family!" Said Arkan loudly and firmly.

"Then, what are you doing? You asked Hanna from her legal husband. Separating the husband from his wife, keeping the son away from his mother. You also nudged the weak Hafidz, though you know. If all this time, Hafidz who continues to defend and support weak Hanna. If you're not willing to hand Aura over to her brother. So, why did you ask Hafidz to hand over Hanna? Remember Arkan, your concern for Hanna is only about brother and sister. But not to interfere in his household. Remember Arkan, kindness will be right. If it doesn't hurt someone else's heart. But everything will be bad. When a single tear fell on her!"

"I'm sorry Arkan!"

"With you Hanna, Hafidz may have loved Qaila. But Hafidz never betrayed your love. If Hafidz wanted to betray him. Maybe two years ago she was married to Qaila. The year that papa and mama forced Hafidz to find your replacement? You better learn to appreciate, before you lose a bigger one!" Agam said firmly.

"Mama!" Hanna.

"Darling, Hafidz your husband to this very second. Remember, the biggest sin of a wife. When she ignored her husband's hopes and happiness!" Tika said firmly, Hanna immediately fell silent. No more noise in the workspace Agam.

"Hafidz will follow Hanna's wishes. As long as it makes her happy!" Hafidz said, then left. With heavy steps, Hafidz came out of the Agam workspace.

"You'll be sorry!" Say Agam to Hanna.
