INFINITE LOYALTY
NEW STORY FULL OF SURPRISES

Viola's loving eyes were still staring at Ethan's unfinished friendly figure with his phone.

Riani just smiled and was deep in thought, her heart felt empty, like something had been lost, but no matter what it was, Riani did not know.

"Do you still feel dizzy and nauseous?" asked the worried looking Viola.

"No...I've been better after taking the medicine earlier" replied Riani realized from her daydream.

"What does Riani's sister actually hurt?" ask Viola curiously.

"I also don't know what my pain is, it's just that in certain situations my nausea will recur, and maybe I was feeling tense when I saw Ethan screaming, so my nausea pain relapsed, and maybe I was tense, moreover, I was late taking medication to relieve my nausea..."

"Has Riani tried to go to the doctor?" ask Viola worried.

"If the doctor's check already, it happens that Teddy's friend is a doctor, but if I go to the hospital I haven't, I have to find some free time, I have to find some time, for an overall checkup to find out in more detail what my illness is."

"Riani, are you feeling better or are you still nauseous?" ethan asked who had finished his phone and walked in towards Riani and Viola.

"I'm doing better, Josh, thank you..."

"Tell?" ethan asked reassuringly, while gently stroking Riani's head, Ethan looked very fond of Riani.

"Surely Josh..." Riani tries to remove Ethan's hand caress by taking Ethan's hand on his head and gently patting the back of his hand.

Riani glanced towards Viola with an uneasy feeling.

"Why? you feel bad about him? it should be him who feels bad for you, because he is present between us and because he is our relationship as it is today" Ethan said glancing cynically at Viola, as if understanding how Riani felt.

"Yah! whatever happens between us whether it's because of him or not, but if there is God's intervention, then everything will still happen according to His will, then what can we do?" riani is shocked by Ethan's words, though in his heart feels Josh's words about past events have a point too, which frustrates Ethan and vents him on drugs to overdosing, it was because of Marcel, Ethan's father, who at that time forbade and stopped Ethan from visiting and meeting Riani in his city because he planned to match Ethan with Viola, who was not a friend, that's what Riani found out from the father who told her that Marcel called his father to keep him away from Ethan, and just now Viola told me that Ethan was forced to marry him because he had to, in a match for his father's return, so, Riani can draw the conclusion that the girl who used to be in a match with Ethan is Viola.

But for Riani whatever the reason in the past, it is still the present that she and Ethan have to live, which in fact they both already have their own legal partners, respectively, and he disagrees if the past becomes the reason for him and Ethan betrays their partner, Riani strongly opposes that.

"But I'm going against God's will, I don't want to be separated from you again after a dozen years of our separation, if he agrees or not, it's his problem I don't care" Josh replied indifferently.

Riani looks at Viola's face ripples that can not stem her sadness anymore, to make Riani heart pity and angry at Ethan.

"Yah! if you like that continue, then forget about our agreement" Riani said firmly.

"okay! ok fine! it's for your sake Riani, so I'll do as you say, but don't expect more from me, because I don't promise to give her my heart and feelings" Ethan said.

"If it's a problem, it's up to the two of you to take it, it's not my right to interfere, then I'll go home first"

"Let me take you" Ethan asked.

"No, I sent a message to Grandpa to pick me up" said Riani.

"Surely his grandfather brother Riani knows the way to this place?" asked Viola who was a little surprised.

"I set a benchmark for the direction to this place and he knew it was heading to this place, so now he was waiting for me in this forest entrance"

"Then I drive you, I want to go back to the hotel" Ethan said.

"Why don't you guys just stay here?" riani asked the leachability that made Ethan's facial expression instantly change.

"This is your home, so I emphasize it again! neither I nor Vio can stay here if you don't live here either, understand?" ask Ethan firmly.

"Okay, I get it..."

Riani and Viola waited for Ethan to lock and re-examine the doors and windows of the house, after which he went out and locked the door, then he handed the key to Riani.

At first he wanted to reject her, but considering that Ethan is currently being the person of a hard character Josh then he immediately undoes his intentions, especially when he sees Viola and signals not to do so, he finally got the key.

"Oh yes, tomorrow the day after I have to go back to Jakarta, because my cut is over, so I say goodbye to you both"

"Then tomorrow I will also return to Jakarta" replied Ethan.

"Why are you also coming back to Jakarta Josh? aren't you on your honeymoon?" riani asked confusedly.

"Have you forgotten, didn't we just make a deal?"

"Yes I remember our deal, but what does it have to do with my return to Jakarta with you?" ask Riani curiously.

"Of course to fulfill our agreement and your wishes, don't you want me to seek treatment and therapy?" ethan asked with his enigmatic smile.

"Yes, but why hurry? you enjoy your honeymoon with your wife Viola, I beg Josh...For my sake please him, because I am also a wife, so I know very well what it would be like if I were in his position" Riani pleaded with a gentle touch on Ethan's shoulders.

Viola herself heard the words from Riani, her tears instantly fell unstoppable again, as she felt moved by Riani's attitude that paid close attention to her feelings.

"Well, I'll follow your words, but as I said before, if I don't promise to open my feelings for her, I'm doing all of this purely for your sake..."

"Are you okay like this Vi?" asked Riani who was looking towards the bowed Viola and nodded her head.

.............

They went back to continue their journey, until finally they reached the exit and entered the forest.

Seen by them Pekak and Arga who were already standing on their bikes waiting for Riani.

Arriving in front of them, Riani introduces Ethan and Viola to Pekak and Arga.

After they had a chat for a while, Riani said goodbye to Ethan and Viola, then with Arga's bell offering to drive Riani on his bike.

Riani leaves Ethan aka Josh and Viola who are still staring at her until they are not seen again.

"So Ethan is being a private person, huh mba?" ask Arga who spontaneously makes Riani surprised, because Arga turned out to know and can know the state of Ethan with his suspect who is suffering now.

"You know Ethan and you know the disease he's suffering?! asked Riani in shock.

"Of course I know him, because my father and his father were little friends and recently they met again"

"Then how do you know he's sick and you can tell right away that Ethan was just another person?" ask Riani curiously.

"Because my dad told me about Ethan's pain, and my dad also recommended a psychologist for Ethan bang, whereas I can tell you that Ethan was just another person, because when he met he didn't know me"

"It looks like you know Ethan well?"

"Not really, it's just, I'm concerned about her love story and empathizing with her"

"You know her love story from the past, from whom?" asked Riani again, this time she was more curious and slightly urged Arga.

"I know her love story that made her suffer so much, that she ended up sick, and raised another person from her for not being able to bear the pain of her love and to cover it up she was camouflaged with another person" arga replied explaining plainly.

"But you haven't answered my question completely Arga..." Said Riani impatiently hearing the continuation of the answer from Arga.

While Arga just smiled and tried to regulate his breath because it had too much oxygen by telling stories and pedaling his bike.

"And from where I found out about Ethan's love story, I knew from Aunt Grace and Viola, from whom I could tell" Arga said.

"You know Viola too?! but...When I introduced you guys, you were just plain looking and even impressed like you didn't know each other?" ask Riani astonished.

"Because we are cousins, we are distant cousins, so we rarely meet, at best we communicate only by phone, so meetings like that are also rare, until when we meet will feel awkward" obviously Arga lightly.

"You two are cousins!?" riani said back in surprise.

"Yes, that's how Mba is..."

"So you also know, who were the women in Ethan's past and the early cause of his other personalities?"

"I know, I know who the woman he's loved so much from the past to the present, and I know the cause of Ethan's bang, and I think...I don't need to tell you who that woman is, because Riani knows exactly who she is?" Replied Arga calmly.

"You're right Arga, we better not continue this conversation again, Haah...There were really a lot of surprises during my vacation on the island of three Gili, and if you think about every island I visited there must be a story that happened to me, a new story full of surprises..." Riani said while stretching her body and stretching out her hands, as if she was ready with new stories that would come her way, both good stories and vice versa.

Hearing the words of Riani Arga just smiled meaningfully and pedaled his bike excitedly, because he also realized that the stories in his life will also continue to come to him...
