Devotion of Love
I'm doing fine!



"Mama!" hanna shouted as she spread out her hands. Tika looked up at Hanna who was running towards her. Arkan quietly lowered his head, without looking at Tika.


Tika had a glance towards Arkan who had since departed from the house looked glum. Arkan is not really a shabby person. Every problem he faced was always faced calmly. Why has Tika seen a change in Arkan's attitude since last night? They look restless and more quiet. As if saying something is happening. Even when he saw Hanna running towards him. Arkan remained silent. Unusual and question-marked cold attitude.


"Hanna, you're a big boy no longer. Is it worth running while screaming like that? As a woman, you must be able to maintain your self-esteem and politeness. Not wanting to be seen or praised. But so that others appreciate and do not look down on our personal!" tika said softly, Hanna nodded her head in tears.


And then with love and happiness. Hanna hugged Tika tightly. Hanna kissed Tika's cheek covered in a veil. Then he put both cheeks on Tika's face.


"I'm a mom, don't care what people say? But my mother's advice will always be Hanna remembered. Hanna had longed for this loving anger. Thank you!" hanna said right next to Tika's ear. Gently Tika stroked Hanna's head. Saying Hanna's words full of novelty.


Arkan turned his head towards Tika and Hanna. If he could choose maybe Arkan would just stay at home. Arkan hasn't been out for a long time. He would rather rest at home. Arkan feels lazy when spending time without a purpose. Then I heard Arkan's long breath.


"It's over yet, if we're leaving now!" arkan said irritatedly, while looking at Tika and Hanna. Sontak Hanna nodded in disapproval. Arkan stared at Hanna.


"Why again?" sahut Arkan ketus, Tika saw the debate Arkan and Hanna. The debates that used to happen almost every day.


"Papa asked us to wait ten minutes. He wants to go with us!" hanna said casually, Tika was stunned to hear Agam was going with her.


Tika felt strange, when she had to go meet Agam. Moreover, it was obvious that Hanna had just said, Agam would come with them. Tika feels awkward to behave like what? Fifteen years apart. Should Tika act ordinary, as if nothing had ever happened.


"Papa will come. Didn't you just say, he's in a meeting. Now you say, he'll come with us. Which one should I trust!" said Arkan cynically, Hanna stared fixedly at Arkan. He walked closer to Arkan. Emotionally, Hanna looked at Arkan.


"Whatever I say is all true. Let's just wait ten minutes. If papa doesn't come we go without him!" hanna said she'd come to Arkan.


"Whatever!" sahut Arkan is no less emotional. Tika shook her head at the Arkan and Hanna debate. Then Tika gently patted Arkan's hand. With an eye gesture, Tika asks Arkan to be patient with Hanna.


"We wait ten minutes. We were waiting anyway. Ten more minutes won't make us lose!" said Tika mediating, Arkan nodded in agreement.


Hanna hugged Tika. She felt Tika was defending her. Hanna was happy to feel Tika's affection. Arkan puts on a smile at Hanna and Tika's happiness.


On the other hand, Agam stood leaning against the wall of the hotel. He's hiding from Hanna. Ten minutes of time requested by Agam. Just a mere reason for seeing his meaning in front of Arkan and Tika. Agam wanted to prove, were they willing to wait for Agam.


"The happiness that should have existed long ago. But I destroyed it with my attitude. Now after fifteen years. I feel like everything is so deserved. Dear Tika, time has tested my love. Fifteen years apart. Would it be nice if today I wished we were reunited. After seeing your affection for our little princess Hanna!" batin Agam while smiling looked at his little family.


"It's been over ten minutes. Are we leaving or not?" arkan broke the silence. Agam gasped when he saw Arkan standing up. He woke up from his daydream.


Arkan was getting bored waiting for Agam. It wasn't Agam's fault Arkan was upset. His problem with Aura, a little preoccupied his mind. He felt annoyed every time he remembered the togetherness of Aura and Hafidz. Hafidz's person who was once predicted to be Aura's husband. Makes Arkan feel inferior. A personal aura is almost perfect with his religious knowledge. Hafidz is almost perfect with his science and background.


Arkan finally stands away from Tika and Hanna. Like it or not, Hanna must agree to leave Agam. In Hanna's heart. He was angry at Agam who had lied to him.


"Basar papa, can't keep a promise. It's been hard to see Arkan. Now it's making Arkan angry. From the past until now, my father never changed. I always hurt my mom, as if I could never cry. Bad papa!" hanna was upset, stepping on the floor many times. As if to show his frustration to Agam.


"Darling, papa might be busy. Hanna mustn't be upset or angry at papa. Next time if there is time. We'll go with papa. Mama's gonna persuade Arkan!" said Tika gently lovingly. Tika's calmness and her wise attitude, nourishes Hanna's heart. With a swift embrace Hanna Tika. Arkan walked in front of him without looking back.


"Hanna baby, papa won't miss today. Fifteen years old, I wait for this day. Papa will bet everything to be with you. Papa will change better for you!" said Agam while embracing Hanna. Agam's hand accidentally touched Tika's body. Instantly Tika releases Hanna's embrace.


Tika looked down embarrassed, instead Agam felt guilty. Even if he did it unconsciously. Only Hanna was happy to see the closeness of her parents. The closeness he had hoped for over the past fifteen years.


"Sorry!" agam said softly, Tika nodded without looking at Agam. Both of them felt a strange sigh that never existed. The warm swirling that used to be there when they were together. But Agam and Tika seemed not to want to think it was real.

"Hurry, it's time we go!" arkan said annoyedly, shortly after honking his horn.


"Son Arkan, whose car is this?"


"Shut up and sit in the back with mom. Papa will sit in front with me. I'm only up until dusk, after that I have to go to the hospital!" arkan said firmly while holding the steering wheel of his sports car.


"Where are we going?" said Agam opened his voice.


"Introduction to mama staring at the twilight, the hope she had wanted all this time!"


"I mean Arkan?" sahut Hanna was curious.


"Mama always misses the day the four of us stare at dusk. It just so happens that today we are complete. I will live up to your mother's expectations. I don't know, when else can we be together?" arkan said while driving his car.


"Why not know? Mama and Dad can be together anytime?" sahut Hanna disagrees with Arkan. Suddenly Arkan disagreed.


"I'm not going to leave my mom with me. We are better off perfect even if we are not whole. Rather than whole but not perfect!"


"Sir Arkan!" hanna yelled annoyed and emotionless.


"I don't want us to be together, but mom is crying. We'd better be apart, but mommy's happy. Mama's been hurt enough!" arkan said firmly. Tika shook her head weakly, instead Agam looked down feeling guilty.


"I'm sorry papa!"


"Father is not wrong, for love is sacrifice. Papa can't choose mama and leave both of papa's parents!"


"Arkan, why you, baby?" sahut Tika lirih's. Agam and Hanna stared at Arkan together. They realized something had changed with Arkan's attitude.


"I'm fine!" said Arkan coldly.
