I'm Loyal, I swear!!
property of Gina

Jovan is devastated when she hears bad news about Gina.

After all, the woman was still his wife when he received a fatal accident that was very ill for him.

"Why, dad?" asked Vani who saw her husband's face bent in.

"Gina's a bun accident" Jovan said.

Vani tries to understand her husband's situation. Hearing bad news from his best friend is sad.

"You want to see him? Where was the accident?" ask Vani.

"Later in the afternoon I'll go to his house when the body is returned" Jovan said.

Vani was surprised to hear that. "You mean, Gina died?" ask Vani.

"Yes, bun. According to the news I read earlier, there was a big snake coming into his car. Even when people found him, part of his body was inside the snake's mouth" Jovan said with a deeply beaten face.

"Astaghfirullah, that bad? Where the hell is he anyway? Why did there's a snake in his car?" ask Vani.

"I don't know where she's going either. But his car was found in a border forest out of town" Jovan replied.

"Will he run away? But run from what?" ask Vani.

Jovan just kept quiet, even though in his heart he had thought that Gina was scared because she had tried to harm Vani.

"Maybe he wants a curry of responsibility" Jovan said in his heart.

There is little gratitude in Jovan's heart with Gina's death.

Maybe he was impressed with that assumption. But indeed with Gina gone, the household was safe without any threat from Gina's mouth who said little would complain their marriage to Vani if Jovan did not fulfill her request.

"It's okay if it's noon or afternoon I visit Gina's house to defend condolences, bun?" jovan asked his wife for permission.

"It's okay dong, yeah. Why should it be banned too? He is your best friend, surely his parents are very hit with the departure of his only child" said Vani.

"When I go to Gina's parents' house, I'll let you know. Let the kids come here too. I'm afraid you're lonely when you're left alone" Jovan said.

"Yes, I also miss Varo and Vee" said Vani.

While Yudha had prepared everything necessary to bring one of her children to the capital.

This afternoon he was about to leave the Cold city that these few years had become his place to fill the void in his heart.

Her smile was etched as she watched her two twins wriggle inside the incubator.

One of them looks more active than the other.

A drop of her tears fell, realizing her poor son would grow up without a loving mother.

As he felt before, when his mother was gone forever and his father remarried.

Living in hell with a two-faced stepmother.

"I'll never give you a stepmom, son. Let us live alone forever. Until you grow up and marry a good man of your choice" Yudha said, stroking the glass of the incubator.

"I'm sorry you had to separate the two of you. Later when you grow up, may there be a miracle that can bring you together without intermediating our hands as parents" said Yudha Lirih, observing her two very small children

"Sorry sir. Everything is ready, will the baby be taken now?" ask sister.

Yesterday Yudha could not bring her son because of the problem of choosing the right means of transportation to bring such a small child.

Finally, Yudha agreed to take her daughter on a medical plane to get there quickly and safely without taking much time to get to the big city hospital.

"Yes, tell her mother before we go sister. I don't want him to regret not being able to deliver his son" Yudha said.

"Good sir" the nurse went to Vani's ward immediately.

"Excuse me, Miss Vani. Mr. Yudha asked the mother to come to the NICU room because she would immediately bring the mother's child" the nurse said.

Vani is stunned for a moment, imagining his life being separated from the child.

"Let's go, I'll help you sit in a wheelchair" said the nurse.

"Where'd you take my wife, sus?" ask Jovan who just came out of the bathroom.

"To the NICU room, sir. Because Mr. Yudha will soon bring one of the father's daughters" said the nurse.

"Let me help my wife" said Jovan.

The nurse lets Jovan take over her duties.

Vani could not hold back her tears because she had to take off one child to be cared for by others.

It feels like she has become a failed mother because she cannot take care of her own biological children.

"Assalamualaikum" Jovan said as he entered the NICU room, and there was Yudha in there.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Yudha.

"Hey, why are you crying?" ask Yudha.

Vani just shook his head faintly. Not daring to open his voice for fear of increasing tears coming out of his eyelids.

"Don't be sad, Van. I'll be telling you every day about his progress. You can video call too if you are still not satisfied if you just read the news through chat" Yudha said patiently.

Indeed only to Vani he was patient and spoiled at once. Vani has controlled his heart long ago, even now.

"Yes mas" said Vani briefly.

"Wish us congratulations. Hopefully the treatment is successful and can soon meet with its twin" Yudha said.

"Yes" replied Vani who was still crying because she had to part with her son.

Both of the girls were holding hands. It's like they don't want to be separated either.

Even they both cried when the nurse had to release her handrails.

For a moment Vani could hold and kiss the little baby's face before being put back into another incubator.

"Please take good care of him. I'll leave him with you, please bring him back one day" Vani said with tears in his eyes.

"Sure, I'll take good care of him. You wish him all the best" Yudha said.

"Yes" Vani said while crying.

While Jovan was just unmoved in his place, a haru atmosphere enveloped them.

The nurse started pushing the incubator somewhere. With Yudha walking behind him, along with someone who suddenly appeared when Yudha came out of the NICU room.

Vani can only resign when releasing the departure of his son. I hope to someday meet and be happy with my family.

The twin of the baby was still crying. Long enough for the boy to calm down.

"There's a phone" said Jovan, who felt the vibrations from the phone he was in his pocket.

"Assalamualaikum, yes sir" said Jovan began his conversation after feeling quite safe from Vani's hearing.

"Waalaikumsalam, have you heard of your wife's death?" ask in-laws.

"Yes sir" replied Jovan.

"Why don't you come visit him one last time?" ask her in-laws in a regretful tone.

Perhaps he regretted marrying his son to Jovan, who brought him to death.

"Vani is also in the hospital, sir. And you know, Gina who caused Vani almost died with her womb" said Jovan who did not accept because her in-laws seemed to blame her.

"What do you mean?" ask in-laws.

"Later I will tell you the same father. Maybe I will visit my father's house later this afternoon. I'm sure Gina's body is still in the hospital" Jovan said.

"Yes, we are now with the group on their way home to carry Gina's body" her father-in-law said.

"Okay sir, I'll be there in the afternoon. I still have to take care of some paperwork for Vani and our son" Jovan said.

Gina's father's heart ached when he heard Jovan mention that he had another child with his first wife.

"Yes" said his father-in-law briefly.

"I hung up on you, sir. Assalamualaikum" Jovan greeted her in-laws before ending their conversation.

"Waalaikumsalam" said his father-in-law.

Afterwards, Jovan re-entered the NICU room to see his wife.

"Who's phone? It seems very important" asked Vani.

"Gina's father told her that her body was on its way. He told me to come over a little late in the afternoon" said Jovan.

"Oh. Can you please buy a breast pump first? It seems like my Asi is starting to get full" said Vani who felt that the shirt on her chest was a little wet because of the ash that came out.

"certain. But you go back to the room. Let him rest, you also rest" Jovan said.

Vani nodded in agreement. He returned to his room after separating from one of his daughters.

Although not willing, Vani must be strong for the common good.

"I bought an Asi pump first at the pharmacy. You tell Hamza to bring the mother and children here to accompany you" Jovan said.

"Yes" replied Vani.

It sounds like Vani was starting her conversation while Jovan was still at the doorstep.

That afternoon, when Jovan saw the state of Gina's body directly, Jovan felt tremendous horror because of the terrible condition of Gina's body.

His house was filled with mourners who felt surprised and did not expect if the Gian they knew was working outside the city even returned home to his name.

Most of them knew the sad news of Gina's death from television. And took them to the funeral home to find out the state of Gina's corpse after it was successfully removed from the snake's mouth.

"Why is your fate so bad, Gina" muttered Jovan while touching the face of the wife who had been stiffened.

It was clear that Gina's neck was broken. His head would have slipped off if his neck skin had not been present.

There were bluish marks on his cheeks, probably because half of his body was forced out of the snake's mouth which made his smooth cheeks become bruised like that.

"Are there any other injuries sir?" ask Jovan.

"Nothing, the police said that the worst of his injuries was in his neck, and that's what caused Gina to lose her life" Gina's father said.

"Why can Gina be found at the border sir? Where is he really going?" ask Jovan.

"I don't know, Jovan. Now I feel so lost that Gina is really gone and not coming back" Gina's father said.

"Can we talk for a second somewhere else?" ask Gina's father pepper Jovan.

The two of them moved to a quieter place, away from the crowd who could not discuss personal matters.

"Is there anything you need to say?" ask Jovan.

"Yes, why did you say Gina tried to harm your wife?" ask Jovan's in-laws.

"In the afternoon when we held our seven-monthly event, Gina came alone from the Coastal city. And at night when we all went to the mosque for the maghrib prayer, Gina said she was stuck and didn't go to the mosque" Jovan said.

He also told in detail to his in-laws about the behavior of Gina who wanted to harm Vani.

Gina's father certainly does not believe that the child tang has been raised lovingly can treat pregnant women.

"You should understand him a little, Jovan. Give her the same affection so she doesn't feel ignored by you" her in-laws said.

"I've been very trying to be fair, sir. Even at the death of Vani's parents, Gina deliberately set me up to avoid attending the funeral of my in-laws. Fortunately I still had time to come shortly before the bodies of Vani's parents were buried" said Jovan who had been covering up Gina's bad behavior.

"There's no way my son's that lofty, Jovan. I don't believe you" said Gina's father.

"I didn't believe it at first, sir. But increasingly, Gina always hindered my intention to visit Vani. Though he knew that Vani was pregnant" said Jovan who was forced to tell Gina's behavior that made him a little disappointed when the woman was not breathing.

"But I love him, sir. We've been friends since I haven't known Vani. But to love him is still very difficult. Because basically me and Vani have promised to be loyal to each other as long as we can still breathe" Jovan said.

Gina's father actually also understands that Gina is too ambitious to be with Jovan.

I don't know what made him so much in love with a guy like Jovan who was economically alone still better off his own family than Jovan.

"Father understand your situation, son. It was Gina who forced too much of her will to accept. As a father, I apologize to you" Gina's father said.

Jovan doesn't think Gina's father would be willing to humble himself to apologize to her.

"I always forgive him, sir. Even before he apologized, I apologized. She is my wife, after all. Good or bad Gina is my responsibility, sir" Jovan replied.

"There's one more thing I have to tell you, Jovan" Gina's father said.

"What is that sir?" ask Jovan.

"Gina was my only child, and after she left, I had no more heirs to get some of my property. So, I beg you to accept the treasure you have allocated to Gina" said Gina's father.

"Don't sir, let Gina's property give her for social activities in her name. To be his finger's charity" Jovan said.

"For that, I set myself. As for Gina's property, I fear that if the father is no longer in the world, the treasure will be a struggle between the brothers"
