Love for Hana

CHAPTER 5

A week had passed since Hana's meeting with the Liam family. The meeting that slowly makes Hana can start rearranging her life. Hana becomes calmer and becomes more frequent smile, to the point of making Bi Siti – Kanaya household assistant amazed.

“Non Hana is okay now? Aunty noticed Non Hana to be more cheerful,” said Bi Siti while smiling at Hana. Bi Siti has been living with Hana since the first time Hana and Kanaya moved to the house they live in today. Bi Siti witnesses how destroyed Hana after Kanaya went home.

“Iya Bi. I cannot continue to dissolve in sadness right,” replied Hana smiling back to Bi Siti. Meeting with Liam and Carissa seemed to have returned hope to Hana's life.

“Hana, Om is your Dad and Buna best friend since a long time ago. Aunt Carissa has also been very close to your Buna, like a brother even though not blood. You're not alone, son, there we are. If you need anything, whatever it is, please let us know yes. Buna you once advised, if one day he can no longer keep and accompany you, then we as his best friend will replace him.”

The message that Liam said before saying goodbye to him, became the reason for Hana to rise up and start a new sheet of her life. Especially when Carissa hugs him, although not as warm as her mother's hug, but Hana can feel love in it.

Hana took her phone and dialed the phone number she had already memorized. For a few seconds only the tone of the phone was connected, there was no answer from the owner of the number. Hana decides to send a short message instead.

“Good morning Evan.. Today to the campus together yuk yuk later memenin I mergerjain revision thesis in the campus library yes.” type Hana and then send it to Evan number.

Hana then stared at the contents of her conversation with Evan all this time. Although often exchanging messages like other lovers, but the contents of the conversation Hana and Evan fairly ordinary.

For two years in a relationship, Hana has not fully opened her heart to Evan. Not without reason, his heart was not ready to lose again. For Hana if she has loved means she must be ready to lose a moment. That was why Hana sometimes felt guilty towards Evan who treated her so lovingly.

But that day Hana had decided, it would open her heart completely to Evan. Evan deserves equal treatment from him. This is also the first step for Hana to start a new life. He will try to become a stronger Hana and not give up easily with the situation.

Hana was getting ready when Evan was in front of the fence. Evan had always been waiting for Hana in front of the fence. But today Evan was a little surprised when Bi Siti came out and let him in. Doubtful Evan stepped foot into the living room of Hana's house.

Evan secretly notices Hana's entire house. Hana's house isn't too big. But with a minimalist interior and the right arrangement of furniture makes the house look vacant. A garden with a small fish pond beside the middle room beautifies the view of Hana's house.

Evan was surprised when he saw Hana already looking at him with a smile. Just this time he saw Hana smiling very sweetly at him. Something was different from Hannah. The aura he exuded was different than usual. Hana who he knew for two years tends to be more quiet and rarely smiles.

“Mission Mba, I'm looking for my girlfriend. Her name is Hana, she lives here too. But how come there's no? There is even Mba whose smile is very sweet. Can not contact Mba,” said Evan teasing Hana.

“His girlfriend is no Mas, I told her to go back to her village. After ngerepotin anyway, it works roaring mulu,” reply Hana casually to make Evan laugh. They walked to Evan's car together and headed to campus.

Along the way Hana more invites Evan to tell stories, which of course was responded to with pleasure by Evan. But Evan suddenly remembered Hana's words when they were joking at Hana's house.

“Emang you nangisin what the hell is Han? Don't want to tell me the same?” evan asked carefully to Hana. Evan is afraid that his question will offend Hana and get back covered to her.

“My life has been too complicated Van. I'm sure all this time you realized that I didn't fully open my heart to you. Honestly, I'm always afraid of losing again. But now, I'm going to try to be more open to you. Will you help me slowly?” hana asked as she looked at Evan expectantly which Evan replied with a nod and a big smile.

Evan looked at Hana before they got out of the car when they arrived at the campus. He makes sure to Hana, whether Hana is sure to get out of the car with him. Hana smiled and nodded. He no longer wanted to hide. He will face whatever comes up in his life.

Don't ask Evan's reaction, of course he's very happy. He no longer needed to hide his relationship with Hana. Now he can freely walk side by side with Hana or just sit alone in the campus park without worrying about anyone seeing.

Eagerly Evan got out of the car and opened the car door for Hana. Seeming a crimson pattern on Hana's cheeks, she became embarrassed to be treated by Evan like this. Because all this time they have to walk separately first and then meet somewhere to be able to go home together.

Hana thanked him with a smile to Evan get out of the car. After Evan closed the car door, Hana immediately took a hand so as to make Evan wrong. Evan was a little surprised by Hana's change in attitude. But it's okay according to him, it's precisely this kind of attitude that Evan wants, Hana becomes more comfortable near him.

“Wow there is a fondness, has gone public yaa..” Anindya – friends Hana, suddenly appeared from behind Evan and Hana. Anin becomes the only person Hana tells about her relationship with Evan.

Evan deliberately showed off their hands to the front of Anin's face. “Find guys gih Nin, let your hands there is a hand as well, not moss continues,” said Evan while laughing. Anin replies to Evan's words by hitting Evan's shoulder using the book he holds. Anin knew Evan was just kidding.

But unfortunately there were others whom they were unaware of in the parking lot. People who do not like to see the happiness of Hana and Evan. A few meters behind them, there Maya stood watching with a hateful look. Maya then pulls out her phone and types a short message to someone.

“Your smile is so bright Van. I think he's really happy today. Oia, didn't you forget the same meeting we had a week ago?”

After reading the message, Evan immediately circulated his gaze looking for Maya. She believes Maya is around them. Sure enough, as soon as Evan turned around, there was Maya who was smiling at him and gesturing to meet him at the campus park. “Ah shit! What the hell he wants,” Evan.

After making sure Hana went to the library with Anin, Evan immediately approached Maya at the campus park. Evan doesn't like this, he doesn't like lying to Hana. Especially after Hana had already tried to open her heart completely to Evan.

“You want what the hell May?” ask Evan without further ado.

“Sit first dong Van. Your time just came immediately angry anyway,” replied Maya while playing her phone. But Evan chose to stay standing, he did not want to linger here with Maya.

“You forgot the same one I took last week? I never messed with Van. I want you. I'll get you how. Despite having to mistress Hana,” said Maya this time looking straight at Evan's eyes.

...*****...

One week ago..

Previously, Evan received a message from a number he did not know. Usually Evan will ignore a number message that he does not know. But not this time, because the message was related to Hana. Concern and curiosity prompted Evan to come to meet the person who had sent him the message.

After thirty minutes of waiting, finally the person that Evan was waiting for came. A girl with a high enough posture like a model. Her hair was just allowed to break.

At first Evan hesitantly guessed the figure of this girl. In his mind this girl could not be the one who sent him the message. He couldn't possibly know about Hana's life that far. They come from different environments. There is no way there is a relationship between them.

But his guess was not wrong. That girl was really the person he was expecting. Maya, that girl is Sasmaya. Evan wonders at heart, what is Maya's relationship with Hana. Why could Maya send him a photo that Hana also has.

“Hai Evan's. Sorry I'm late, you have been a long time yes waiting” asked Maya casually. Evan who was still wondering just fell silent to see Maya already sitting next to him. “You must be surprised to receive my message?” ask Maya again this time while smiling at Evan's expression full of question marks.

“What do you mean Maya?” now Evan is back to ask Maya with a cold look. He is really uncomfortable with this situation, sitting together with Maya in the park. He felt he betrayed Hannah. But he could not deny the worry and curiosity is greater. Whatever it is about Hana, she should know.

“Hmm.. Where should I start?” Maya half laughed as she asked Evan. Trying to stay patient with Maya's attitude, Evan took a deep breath. “Tell me everything you know, starting from this photo,” replied Evan keep cool to Maya.

Seeing Evan's attitude that seemed to be holding back her emotions, Maya finally began her story. He told me everything he knew. Starting from who Hana's real family is to why she can have photos that Hana also has. This time Maya told me in a serious tone, as if she was telling her own story.

It's true, this story is like his own. Destiny makes her life connected to Hana's life. But the difference is, fate is a little better for him. He can grow up in a complete family. Gaining affection from a father, although not blood with him.

Effendi, treat him with affection. Things he didn't get from his father just yet, Xander. Xander often beat him and his mother when they were together. It traumatized Maya. Fortunately the trauma was slowly being healed by my father.

But as Maya ages, she realizes that all the attention and affection she gets from Effendi is because Effendi misses her daughter, Hana. It is not uncommon for Maya to find Effendi crying looking at her picture with Hana and his previous wife.

This makes Maya sad, because she feels she is just a substitute daughter for Effendi. She does not like Hana. According to him because Hana was, again he did not get a sincere sense of the person he expected. Since then Maya has grown into a cold and selfish figure. As long as he gets what he wants, he won't care about the rest.

Moreover, when he finds out that Evan and Hana have a special relationship, Maya hates Hana even more. How can Evan choose the new Hana he knows rather than himself who has approached Evan since school first. This time Maya will not remain silent.

“You know Van, this fate between me and Hana is a little cruel. Papa Endi does love me, but when I look into his eyes, I can only face Hana there. He looked at me as Hana, he didn't see me Van. And now you. I have been around you for a long time, but you have never seen me. In your eyes now there is only Hana,” said Maya while sighing long.

“Now you know what my relationship with Hana is? I'll be very frank with you now Evan, even though I'm sure you already know. I love you, even I love you. I want you to stay in Hana. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to hurt him,” Maya said staring at Evan. This time Maya doesn't mess around, she wants Evan for herself.
