The Faithful Heart

A Confession

Joseph widened his eyes when a young lady at the ice cream shop brought a pregnant mother's order in front of him. He did not expect that his best friend would order ice cream in large portions with several variants.

While Hana welcomed the arrival of the ice cream with sparkling eyes. He was impatient to immediately devour the soft textured sweet food. Pieces of beans and chocolate melts on it made Hana's saliva ready to drip.

" Hmmmmm, yummmy." praised Hana who did not wait for a long time directly put a spoon full of ice cream into her mouth.

Hana looked so greedy eating it as if she had long craved the cold food.

" It's so good, Han? Up to her side if you eat?" Joseph stirred his order lemon tea with a straw in his hand.

"Huum. It really feels really good, the combination of softness of milk, sweet, cold, savory and seger, just delicious." said Hana with a mouth full of ice cream in it.

" You want to? Just order it yourself because this is all mine. I won't let you take my son's ration."

Pregnant women are weird. Since when did Hana become stingy about food.

" Don't worry, I'm not interested in ice cream at all. Eat slowly no one wants to take it. But you sure you want to spend this all on your own? This is a lot of Han. Do you want or are you hungry? Up to her side if you eat?" yusuf asked feeling full himself to see how to eat Hana's bar bar as if he had not enjoyed food for a few days while waiting for Rani and Laura shopping for her mouth Hana never stopped chewing food.

" Bodho, this is really good."

" Halah, if you are all the food must be said to be very good. Yesterday there was a brother who sold doger ice around you also said it was delicious." grumbled Yusuf.

" He he, but it all feels good. Isn't that baby?" Hannah stroked her stomach gently.

" It's delicious but don't eat a lot of ice cream like this. Not good for health. It can cause obesity, heart problems, cholesterol, diabetes and a decrease in intestinal health" Yusuf said lightly while removing the mask.

Hana's eating activities stopped for a moment because of Joseph's words.

" You swear to me?" hana's appetite disappeared instantly. Suddenly his eyes let out a clear liquid by themselves.

" Hiks hyks, you must say so badly to me." The clear liquid has now flowed down Hana's two white cheeks.

" Hey why are you crying? I don't swear at you or say anything bad about you. I'm just talking about the impact of mostly eating excessive ice cream. And that's not what I said either, but Google. So blame it on google. Don't cry anymore, just continue eating ice cream. Not everything written on Google is true, right?"

Since pregnancy, Hana's emotions are uncertain. He becomes irritable, sad or even crying. Small and trivial things can easily drain the clear liquid in his eyes. Sometimes it also becomes very spoiled.

" This wipes away your tears. Pregnant women should not cry often. Remember doctor Raisa said that the mother is happy then the baby in the stomach will also calm down." Joseph took some tissues available on the table and handed them to Hana to immediately wipe away the tears on her beautiful face.

" Well, I don't want to cry anymore. Did all pregnant women turn out to be whiny and emotional like me?" ask Hana to herself.

" Not all but most of them are. Don't worry it's normal, the effect of hormonal changes" Yusuf said, inserting a straw into his mouth.

" Have you moved on from Laura huh Suf?" tanya Hama suddenly changed the subject.

" Ohuk uhuk...." Joseph looked in wonder at Hannah.

" You mean what? When did I ever tell you I loved Laura?"

" If not Laura then who's the secret girl you love? Me? It's not possible, is it?" hana urged.

" If I say yes, the girl I once loved is you..?" Joseph stared intently at Netra Hana. This was the first time that Hana and Joseph's bead eyes met and locked each other away.

" me? Ha ha ha.." Hana's laughter exploded.

Huh free also talk honestly with Hana.

" Uhuk, a_ what?" hana's laughter disappeared instantly.

" Yes, the girl I once loved so much was you, Mikayla Hanania. The girl who made me single to this day. The girl I always miss her smile and voice. The girl who was the reason for my happiness. The girl I can only love in silence. That girl is you, not Laura" Yusuf said earnestly.

" Yusuf.." - Lirih Hana.

" But don't worry, as you said earlier today I've managed to move on. I can really bury my love for you. I've set yourself up for the gods. Because I believe his love is greater than mine. And I'm happy to see you living happily with God. Then, now, and then I will forever be your best friend. Even now my status has increased to that of your brother-in-law. It's nice too, right?" Joseph took out all his unek.

" Thank you Yusuf, you are my super duper's best friend and brother-in-law." Hana smiled sweetly.

" Don't look at me smiling like that. You don't have to feel overwhelmed."

" I'm not at all moved. I just find it funny to see you talking seriously with those puffy lips. Ha ha." Hana's facial expression changed in the blink of an eye.

" Ah, I should have been able to predict your reaction would be like this. It sucks..! Basic friends have no morals. You should feel overwhelmed by my confession, and then I'll comfort you that everything is fine. Not even mocking me like this." snorted Hana.

" Ha ha ha, yes yes I am moved."

" Farmest what? How could anyone laugh like that?" ketus Joseph.

" Alright, okay....." Hana took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to stop her laughter.

" Thank you Suf, for everyone. Thank you for ever making me the resident of your heart. And now as your best friend and brother-in-law I suggest that you immediately find a boyfriend. You've seen that I live happily with God, so I really hope that you can also live happily with the woman you love. But why didn't you tell me about your feelings? Why do you have to be alone?"

" I used to be too cowardly to say it. I'm afraid my feelings will only ruin our friendship." Joseph was honest.

" Foolish... Where is it possible that our friendship will be damaged just because of the declaration of love." Hana snorted.

" ha? Meanin? If I had the courage to express love to you, would you accept?"

" Of course not" Hana replied quickly.

" Why?"

" Because you are not as handsome as I am." said the God who arrived standing near Hana.

" Narcissistic basis." - Joseph.

" Not narcissistic, but reality." said the God confidently.

" Yes that's right. My husband is indeed very handsome." said Hana who got a gift of a kiss from the husband.

" Yes yes..... You guys are so compatible." Joseph sipped lemon tea in his glass as if he had forgotten the wound on his lips.

" But by the way I salute you Suf. It takes a lot of courage to express your feelings. And it seems that at this time you can really move on." praise God.

" Yes you're right. It feels so relieved now. Huft.... Finally I can really move on." exclaimed Yusuf.

" Of course because now there is a doctor Raisa." added Hana with meaningful eyes.

Joseph was silent and somehow his heart agreed with Hana's words. His lips smiled as he re-imagined the cause of the wound on his lips.

Raisa's? Could it be that I'm in love with her? But in is beautiful.
