Love for Hana

CHAPTER 3

Nineteen years later..

The afternoon weather was a little cloudy, either it would rain or just hide the sun temporarily. On a large tree in the middle of the park, a girl was sitting and relaxing. A gentle breeze blew the girl's hair slowly. It seemed that the girl was enjoying the wind sweeping across her face. While closing his eyes with earphones in his ear he enjoyed the music that played from his phone.

Hana, the girl under the tree is him. Hana has now grown into a beautiful and sweet adult girl. Despite not liking to wear makeup like a girl her age, Hana's face is still charming. No need to wear lipstick, Hana's lips have shown a soft pink color with sweet. The black hair he had straightened up under his shoulders, making Hana's face look perfect. Despite not having the posture as high as the models in the magazine, still make many adam praise Hana.

Kanaya has managed to keep her promise to her husband. She raised Hana to be a great girl, to have a hardworking heart. The sufficiency of the treasure her father left behind did not make Hana casually. Since her first year in college, Hana has started looking for a side job. He did not want to rely on his father's money. Living alone with her mother for years makes Hana slowly lose her sense to her father.

For Hana, Effendi was just a father she had never seen again in the past nineteen years of her life. He decided not to expect his father's return. Especially after seeing a portrait of his father with his new family in a magazine a few years ago. In the portrait, he sees his father smiling along with his wife and a girl his age.

Melissa Mahendra, the woman who was once betrothed to her father, is now in place of her mother, Kanaya. But the thing that hurt him the most was seeing his father's smile to the other girl in the photo. Sasmaya Xander Lyman's. The daughter is survived by her father, the son of Melissa from her previous husband. Apparently Melissa's marriage to Maya's father did not go well, so they separated once Maya was ten years old.

Since seeing the new family photo of her father in the magazine, Hana always asked in her heart, why her father never came to visit her even though. He was convinced that his father knew where he was and his mother. Moreover, it turns out that he and Maya are currently in the same campus. Not as strangers who don't know each other, Hana and Maya are several times involved in several activities because they are both in the same organization.

But the thing that sometimes bothers him, why Maya never said anything to him. Is it possible that Maya did not know that she was the biological daughter of her father? Although he actually hopes that no one knows that she is the daughter of Effendi Barmantyo. She does not want to be labeled an unwanted daughter by people who know her father's family. In fact, his father's life now looks perfect. His current presence would be a flaw of that perfection.

“Han.. Hanaaaaaaa.. yaaaang.” whispered a man who had been sitting next to him since. Hana was unaware of the presence of Evan who had been sitting next to her for nearly fifteen minutes. Ever since Evan's hobby did pay attention to Hana secretly, even until now they have become lovers. Evan is the man who managed to get into Hana's heart after Hana closed her heart to any man because of his disappointment to his father.

Hana who was shocked by the presence of Evan reflex shifted her sitting position and looked around her. The love that they have knitted since two years ago is actually not known by many people. Not because of the shame of Evan as her lover, just that Hana has been accustomed to living by limiting the people who enter her life. Because it's just his best friend and Evan's best friend who knows their relationship. His life is too complicated to be someone else's talk.

The beginning of Hana and Evan's meeting is a bit like the story of romance films. Evan meets Hana in an alley near the restaurant where Hana works. Since the restaurant where she worked was only ten minutes away from her home, Hana decided to walk towards the house. That night, Hana meets a thug who wants to rob her. Fortunately Evan passed by and immediately helped Hana. But the incident did not immediately make them close. It took a while for Evan to melt Hana's heart.

Evan can melt Hana's heart after getting dozens of rejections from Hana herself. Fortunately, Evan is not the type of man who gives up easily. Various ways he did so that Hana could accept it. Starting from the attention of small things to some real actions that he did for Hana. Once upon a time, Hana was lying sick. For several days he did not appear in the camp. Of course this makes Evan wonder and worry.

After asking some friends of Hana, Evan also found out that Hana was not well. He took the initiative to give Hana a surprise by sending a bucket of red roses with a message tucked between the flowers. Of course, he sent this flower after confirming the favorite flower of his heart to his close friends.

"You know what this flower has in common with you? You and this flower are both beautiful. Get well soon Hana.. My days are black and white because no one colors them hehehe.." This message successfully made Hana blush when reading it. From that day on Hana slowly opened her heart to Evan, despite still making a little distance, Evan patiently waited for her.

Evan's patience bears sweet fruit at the age of the approach to eight months. Hana's heart was completely broken. It could not be expressed in words how Evan felt when Hana said accepting her love. Evan has since become his second home. It is now the only home for him. Evan became a place for Hana to complain and spill all her heart.

"What do you think about, baby? You don't realize I've been here since. You think of another guy?" evan teases Hana. Hana who was used to the ignorant attitude Evan laughed and pinched the squeezed cheek of his lover. Sitting under a tree together and joking like this has become a habit for both of them since the beginning of the relationship. Unlike other couples who often walk together everywhere, they prefer to spend time like this exchanging stories and laughing together.

Evan takes Hana's hand to put it on his hand. He gently rubbed Hana's hand then looked Hana in the eye. "Han, you should always remember that I'm here for you. I will not leave you, I love you very much Hana. You know if there wasn't you, my world would be black and white?" After saying that, Evan brought Hana into his embrace. It made me just shed tears. Hannah was crying in silence.

Evan never mind if Hana always refuses to invite him to just eat with a dimall or watch in a cinema. For Evan whatever makes Hana comfortable, he will do it with pleasure. Evan knows there are things Hana can't tell him, and Evan never forces Hana to tell them. He believes that someday when Hana is ready, Hana will tell him everything.

It turned out that afternoon they were not alone, there was a girl who was watching them from a distance. Girl with above average level, with an ideal body like a model. His brownish hair was bound neatly with a few strands dangling on both sides of his face. On her face was swept a thin makeup that made her look even more beautiful. His brown eyes stared intently at the lovers who were sitting under a tree in the middle of the garden.

...*****...

The universe runs on its own without caring about others. Make Hana, Evan, and Maya this time around the same life. Who would have thought Hana would be between Maya and Evan. It was Maya who knew Evan first. Maya falls in love with Evan. Maya has been in love with Evan ever since they were in high school.

But unfortunately, at that time the universe had not been on Maya's side. Many times Maya tries to attract Evan's attention. Even with high self-confidence, Maya blatantly approaches Evan. He is very sure Evan will be interested in him, however, so far many men are queuing to approach him. But that doesn't apply to Evan. Evan is like an iceberg that is very difficult to melt. Maya is very frustrated because all her efforts have produced nothing. Evan did not respond at all. Even when Evan finds out that Maya also accidentally entered the same university as him, Evan still does not glance at Maya.

Now seeing Evan with Hana, makes Maya's patience run out. He couldn't accept that the non-nobody Hana could get to Evan without even trying a little. Evan is the one chasing Hana. Just thinking about it has made Maya's emotions to be changed. He couldn't let Hana have what she wanted all along. This time he is determined to get Evan any way he can.

After replying to Evan's message before going to bed, a short message went into Hana's phone. How surprised when he saw the message, not because it came from a number that he did not recognize, but the contents of the message itself. "Ashana Effendi Bramantyo Hotel. I know who you really are. It's free to hide your identity." Hana stared for a while. His mind was full of question marks. No one knows his full name. From the beginning she entered school, her mother decided not to put her full name on it in order to hide Hana's true identity.

Fear began to come to Hana. He doesn't know what to do. He felt that he had made his mother's efforts and sacrifices in vain. During this time his mother was willing to stay at home and just go out as necessary, doing anything so that they could live quietly including closing themselves off from anyone. His mother was afraid that his father's family would hurt him. He was even willing to cut off contact from everyone who wanted to help him. All for the sake of Hana to live quietly.

"Buna, what should Hana do now?" Hana was crying while looking at her mother's photo. The photo that became Hana's last photo with her mother before she was completely alone. In the photo Kanaya is seen losing a lot of weight. Despite smiling happily, there was still a void emanating from the look in his eyes.

Fate again dealt a heavy blow to their families. This time it was Hana who had to feel her punch. It is not enough that he lives without a father, now he must live without a mother for eternity. Kanaya has been gone since three years ago, leaving Hana to survive alone.

Holding back is not easy for Kanaya. Years of trying to stay strong and strong for the sake of Hana, it makes her miss the figure of her husband. The absence of a place to share the story and complained, making him save all his own in the chest. The increasingly claustrophobic feeling slowly gnawed at Kanaya from within. His health slowly declined, Kanaya's body continued to weaken. Until finally decided to stop and leave the long waiting relay to Hana.

"I'm sorry Hana, Buna.. Hana's gonna try to get through this.. Please occasionally present in Hana ya Buna's dream? Hana kangen." Hana's grim cry sounded from inside the room. So sad to make anyone who hears it may feel the pain as well.

After being satisfied to spill her sadness, Hana looked back at her phone. He read the short message again. There was one name that came to his mind after rereading the message. It's just that he wondered, why only appeared now if all this time the person was just silent. Trying to shake off his fear, he also ventured to reply to the message. “It looks like you got the wrong person,” type Hana short.

Hopefully after this the message will stop there. She didn't want to know who sent the message. There are a lot of things he should be thinking about right now. His life has not returned to normal since his mother's departure. Even after three years he was still very sad. How not, he had lost the sole focus of his life. He has lost his home.

Ting!

Hana's phone rang indicating that a short message had come in. The universe must be joking with him. Hana grabbed her phone slowly and stared at her screen for a moment. Half of him did not want to see the contents of the message, but the other half seemed to want to move his hand to open the message. Taking a deep breath, Hana finally opened the message.

This time the message contained a picture. No, rather a picture of a happy little family. Photos that he is very familiar with because he also has the photo on his study table. There was a sweet smiling man holding a laughing girl. Next to him stood a woman with a shady smile and a beautiful look was embracing the man's waist.

The photo was taken when Hana was a child with her parents. The only photo he had with his father. Only two people had the photo, him and his father. Did his father send this message? But why would his father send a message like this? What purpose? Many questions came up in Hana's head.

Not done with all those questions, Hana's phone went off again. A short message was sent back by that number. “Shock yes? Must be a shock dong. Hello sis! Hopefully we can get along yeah.” Hana could only be subdued lethargic after reading the message on her phone. The message came from Maya. Hana believes the meaning of Maya's message is not good.
