Love for Hana

CHAPTER 28

Evan lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling of his room. He kept thinking about Maya's words to him in the hospital.

"*If you ask why I keep walking to the middle of the ocean, because at the end of the ocean that I see, there you stand there. But I realized that I would never get to where you were standing, so I gave up.*

My life ain't nothing left, Van. It's all I wish for, but I'm aware of my position. So I'd rather die just*."

Those words kept ringing in Evan's head. He will not be able to forgive himself if bad things happen to Maya again. But what makes him angry is why he should be in charge of Maya's life.

Evan realizes his stupidity for not thinking long gives Maya all this attention so Maya puts her whole life to Evan.

"Evan moron!!! You should have thought of Hana too!" Evan was angry at himself. Now he is stuck with the words he said himself.

While contemplating his mistake, Evan faintly heard the sound of a car stopping in front of his house. Even so, he doesn't care.

Evan was still diving in his own mind looking for a solution to what was going on. Although very small, but Evan contributed to it.

Evan closed his eyes, his head felt very heavy. Suddenly a knocking sound was heard from the door of his room. It was Carissa who knocked on the door.

"Evan, can you come with Mama for a minute? There's Om Effendi to see you downstairs." Evan rubbed his face violently. What's up this time, the bath.

With a heavy step Evan walked following Carissa towards the living room meeting with Effendi. He saw the faces of his parents and Effendi was very serious.

"Evan, Om Effendi came here to talk about Maya's problem with you," Liam said, staring at Evan.

Evan did not say a word. He was tired and tired of this. On one side he, as a friend he was very worried about the state of Maya.

Although he could not be denied, his heart was disturbed when he saw Maya that night at the reunion ceremony. But on the other hand, he also has to think about the feelings of Hana, the lover he loves.

Two hours they spent discussing the solution of what Maya is currently experiencing. Evan and Effendi did not find a way out that could calm all parties. Until finally Liam came to the opinion.

"Endi, can I come with you? I was sorry for what I was going to say, but I think this is the middle ground that is the least risky. Right now we are discussing Maya's mental health, which if disturbed will make her act recklessly.

My advice is what if Evan marries Maya? With so slowly Maya's mentality can recover and be as healthy as ever."

Everyone in the room looked at Liam with a different expression.

Carissa was the first to oppose it. "Mas, what the hell are you talking about? You don't think about Hana what?"

Evan tried to hold back his emotions. "I'm disappointed in Papa!" Evan got up from his seat and was about to leave before his hand was held back by Effendi.

"Evan, wait." Effendi got up from his seat without taking his hand off Evan's hand. And the surprising thing happened, Effendi knelt before Evan.

"Om, what the hell is this? Stand Om!"

"No Evan. Om won't stand until you agree to what your Papa says. According to Om, it's also the path of least risk." Effendi remained on his knees and lowered his head.

He tried to hold back his tears because he remembered Hana. Hana would be very hurt if she knew all this.

"Om not thinking about what Hana will be? Hana's Om's real son!" Evan spoke in a half-screaming tone. He really does not understand what his father and Effendi think.

Carissa chose silence. Although he did not approve Liam's suggestion, but in fact there was no other way out. For now, marrying Maya and Evan is the most appropriate path. Given the uncertainty of events that Maya experienced at that time.

"Let Om explain everything to Hana. Om sure Hana will understand. Hana's heart was broad and strong. We all know that." For a moment everyone was silent.

Carissa had bitten her lower lip withstanding the crying. Liam looked straight at the wall in front of him. While Effendi was still kneeling before Evan.

"alright. I agree," Evan said, "but please, don't tell Hana the truth. Tell Hana, this is all my fault. Let him just hate me."

Hana just finished her dinner with Bi Siti at home. He then helped Bi Siti clean the dining table and wash the dishes. Hana was humming when suddenly a glass fell and broke.

He hurriedly\hurry to clean up the broken glass. "Aw!" shouting Hana. The tip of his ring finger was bleeding. Apparently Hana's finger was hit by broken glass to make it hurt.

Bi Siti who heard Hana's cry immediately rushed over to Hana. "Non Hana is okay\-nothing?" Hana just nodded and cleaned the blood from her hands.

Hana then took out a piece of plaster and bandaged the wound on her finger. But how surprised he was when he saw his father was already in front of him.

"Good Dad! I don't think there's anyone. When's dad coming?"

"New aja. Dad knocked\-tap the door but no one answered. So Dad just went in. You why? Wound huh?" Effendi saw Hana clad her finger.

"Because of the broken glass earlier, I'm fine" replied Hana casually.

Effendi then headed to the sofa located in the middle room of Hana's house. He threw his body there. Hana sees her father as very tired, no. More precisely very sad.

Hannah wanted to ask her father but he hesitated. He was afraid to make his father sad. Finally Hana just sat there holding her father's leg.

"Dad, my legs are incandescent?" Hana started massaging her father's legs. Effendi said nothing. He just closed both his eyes.

Silent. None of them put out the word\-word. Sometimes Hana glanced at her father, but her father kept his eyes closed like he was asleep. But Hannah knew that her father was not sleeping.

"Hana, whatever problems you will face in the future, I promise never to leave you alone" said Effendi.

Hana was silent for a moment. He was increasingly convinced that something was going on, something that made his father so sad like this. Hana could only guess\-guess in her head what had actually happened.

Does this matter have anything to do with him, but what? What else could possibly happen to him? But whatever it was, Hana was sure she could get through it. He's been through worse, hasn't he?
