INFINITE LOYALTY
I WILL BE HAPPY AT THE END OF THE STORY

Teddy took Riani's medicine that he hadn't had time to drink.

"Ai, you haven't taken your medicine, here...Immediately drink, so that your nausea and vomiting quickly disappear" said Teddy who was standing next to Riani while offering the medicine he took earlier.

"Thank you Ted..."

Riani took the medicine from Teddy's hand and put it in his mouth, and immediately gulped down the drinking water given by Teddy.

Zoya who was tidying up Riani's bed saw Teddy's nakedness and concern for Riani just smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh, he could do nothing to help Riani who looked so pitiful like that.

"Sir Rini, Zoya help pack your sister's clothes into the bag, huh?"

"Yes, thank you Zoya..." Riani replied with seyum and her voice was weak.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the door of Riani's room.

Hearing that Riani's expression instantly turned into fear.

Teddy who saw Riani's frightened face, immediately came out to see what happened.

When Teddy comes out, he sees Randi and Arga trying to block Ethan from meeting Riani.

Viola is also seen crying while holding Ethan, until finally he injects something in Ethan's arm, which makes Ethan's body in a matter of minutes already limp and collapse unconscious.

Randi and Arga immediately reach Ethan's body to his room not far from Riani's room.

Viola also followed them from behind.

"Emmm...Sorry, can we talk to you for a second?" teddy asked hesitantly after walking quickly after pursuing Viola's footsteps.

"Awhile, Teddy's bang just wait in Riani's room, later I follow, now I want to take care of my husband first..." Riani replied kindly yet with a sad look and facial expression.

Seeing that, Teddy did not dare to force Viola, and locked up his intentions, stopping his steps following Viola.

"All right..." That's all that came out of Teddy's mouth.

After that he turned his body and walked back towards Riani's room.

When Teddy entered he saw Riani crying in Zoya's arms, at Riani's body shaking in fear.

Seeing him like that Teddy's heart like in sepulchre, wanted to feel he hugged him and told him that there was still him who would always keep and provide protection and security to him

"Da...What exactly happened to you? what did Ethan do to you to make you this way?" teddy's inner self in his heart rumbled full of questions and anger.

Without Teddy realizing his fist had landed on the wall violently because it was too holding back his heart emotions.

Making Zoya and Riani surprised and immediately look at Teddy whose fingers began to bleed fresh due to the hard fist.

Riani, who saw Teddy's bloody fingers, panicked him and got up from his seat, then picked up some tissue and wiped the blood on Teddy's hand.

"Never hurt yourself when you see me in this state, because I don't want you to get hurt because of me..." Riani said softly with her head lowered, not daring to look into Teddy's eyes.

"Why don't you want to hurt other people and prefer yourself to hurt Ai..." Said Teddy while raising Riani's face which turned out to be wet with tears.

"I'm afraid Ted is here." cried Riani without elaborating on his fear.

"Don't be afraid Ai...There's me here who'll always take care of you..." Teddy tightly hugged Riani's body, he did not dare to ask the reason for Riani's fear, because his heart was not hearty and sick when he saw Riani slumped like that, teddy's tears flowed with regret because of his inability to protect Riani.

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

Teddy immediately held Riani who was asleep in his arms, Zoya saw that immediately preparing Riani's bed.

"Riani sleeps in my room, please, you take care of her" said Teddy, preventing Zoya from opening the blanket, Teddy felt that Riani was traumatized by the room.

"Good Bang..."

Zoya just obediently follows behind Teddy.

After arriving at his room and putting Riani's body slowly on the bed, Teddy asks Zoya to look after Riani, then he comes out of his room.

Just as he had just closed the door of his room, he saw Viola just coming out of Riani's room.

Teddy walked over to Viola who remained standing in front of Riani's room door.

"Sister Riani where's Bang?" viola asked after Teddy was already standing before him.

"He was in my room with Zoya, he was asleep"

"Oos...Then we'll talk on the top deck"

Teddy nodded, then the two of them walked towards the deck on board.

"All I hear is that Teddy's ex-girlfriend Riani, right?" viola asked back without answering Teddy's question.

"Yes right, then what does that have to do with my question that you haven't answered Vi?" push Teddy a little upset.

"It has nothing to do with it at all, it's just that I guess Riani told me all her past including her relationship with Ethan first"

"He never told me about Ethan, he only told me about his father who died in an accident, but didn't tell me the cause of the accident"

"Actually the cause of the accident had something to do with Ethan"

"You mean Vi?"

"Sister Riani and Ethan used to be lovers, they were both in love since the age of 14, brother Riani was Ethan's first love and vice versa" Viola said.

"Actually I've guessed that the two of them must have had a relationship before, that's what I found out at last night's bonfire, when Ethan's turn tells of his childhood with his gaze on Riani who is full of love and deep longing"

"And I see that Teddy's bang is also very jealous..."

"Yes, I'm so jealous, because I still love her, she's my first love..."

"Gee...We could get involved in the first love round, huh Bang? because Ethan was my first love" too"

Teddy nodded his head in agreement, both of them smiling bitterly at each other.

"Then...What does Ethan have to do with the cause of Riani's father's accident?" teddy finally asked, because he was still curious behind the bitter story of Riani in living his beloved father when he was a teenager, where in such an age is still unstable and requires a protective figure beside him.

"Actually Ethan is not the direct cause of Riani's father's accident, it can be said that there is a series of causes of the incident, initially because I fell in love with Ethan when I first met him, he said, I was twelve years old and my dad saw that I liked Ethan, and wanted to get us both together, unfortunately Ethan refused because at that time he was in love with another girl who recently I found out that the girl was Riani's sister..."

Viola stopped the story for a moment, then took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.

Teddy just kept quiet, waiting for the continuation of the story from Viola and gave him time to organize Viola's feelings.

"But Marcel prefers to betroth Ethan to me, perhaps in return for Marcel to my papah, and because it feels bad for my papah, Marcel opposes Ethan's relationship with Riani's brother"

"Om Marcel has a debt to your papah?"

"The whole story, but the point is that my papah helped Ethan's father from falling apart, maybe because that's why Marcel can't refuse my papah's request to match Ethan with me"

"Then what happened to Ethan and Riani's relationship next?"

" They are forced to break up, but Ethan can not separate from Riani's brother to stress and look for escape by taking drugs to relieve his distress, until Ethan's peak overdosed and was declared by the medical team that he died..."

"Then...?"

"Then for the last time Riani's brother served to Ethan's house with his father, but their arrival was not welcomed by Marcel and drove them both away, until finally Aunt Grace can persuade Marcel to let Riani for the last time see Ethan's face"

"And did Marcel allow it?"

"Om Marcel allowed Riani's brother but not her father, she was forced to wait outside, but when Riani came out of Ethan's house, there was a car accident that hit his father's car Riani who was going to get out of his car..."

"Oh my God..." Ethan said with his voice trembling and the water already welled up in the corner of his eyes.

Teddy could imagine how Riani felt at the time, seeing his father in the accident.

"I heard his bitter screams, and, remembering that, I am still very sorry to this day...Because indirectly I was also the cause of the incident, if only I had not fallen in love with Ethan, maybe my papah would not have asked Marcel to betroth Ethan to me, either, so Ethan won't be stressed out and don't do drugs, and he won't be overdosing, so there won't be any accidents..."

Viola was unable to continue his story anymore, he ended up crying in regret.

"Then how did Ethan come back to life?"

"When the screams and shouts of Riani's brother called out his father's name, that's when we saw the movement of life in Ethan's body..."

"At that time Riani must have been very frightened and traumatized..."

Teddy stood up and faced the window glass and tried to hold back his tears, but his chest was claustrophobic when he remembered the story of the tragedy.

"Actually I was the initial cause of all the events bang." said Viola in between sobs.

"You don't blame yourself Vi, this has become their fateful path from God, we can't avoid it"

"I know it's a bang, but if I can choose to go back, then I'd rather take a deep hold of my love for Ethan, even though he's my first love..."

"The four of us are indeed in a complicated first love circle, whether until when, and will we be happy at the end of the story with our first love story..."

Teddy's gaze glared deep through the glass in front of him, in his heart there was only a better hope for tomorrow...
