INFINITE LOYALTY
BULE GILI TRAWANGAN VILLAGE

Riani left Radja with a definite step, steadied herself, she tried to be firm and tried not to cry anymore, because for her there was enough pain in her heart.

After she contacts Zoya and finds out where Zoya and Randi are, she quickly speeds up her steps towards those she has already seen.

"Let's leave now, the day is too late, fear later can not cross, because as we know the current weather is difficult to predict" riani said after arriving in front of Zoya and Randi.

"Yes, Brother Riani is right, let's go Bli, we should leave now" Zoya replied.

"Well, let's go ride cidomo now there's still empty" take Randi who is directly followed by Riani and Zoya to walk towards the cidomo parked in front of them and immediately ride it.

Cidomo also walked towards the small pier.

"Actually with this cidomo we can go to the gili trawangan and also there is another alternative to Gili trawangan, which is to use land transportation vehicles called bemo, but are afraid of too much time to eat, because gili trawangan is the farthest island from the other two islands so I prefer the sea route because it will be faster to get to the destination" Randi explained in the middle of the trip.

"But by sea transportation wouldn't it cost Bli more?" ask Zoya.

"No matter the cost, even if it's expensive as long as you get to your house immediately and can meet your grandmother and grandfather as soon as possible..."

"Yes too, brother, because the distance from the ship leaning towards our house is closer than using land transportation because it has to walk again approximately two hundred meters to our house from the cidomo or bemo stop, because the road to our house cannot be entered by four-wheeled vehicles or other large vehicles" Zoya said, to make Riani understand and have a little picture of the location of their grandparents' house.

It took them less than half an hour to arrive.

Immediately the three of them got into the boat after booking and paying for their tickets.

Without waiting for long, the boat was full of passengers, immediately the boat drove towards the island of Gili trawangan.

On the way Riani stared blankly at the sea view in front of her, he recalls the last conversation between him and Radja and Teddy and he hopes it's all over when he leaves them in the gili meno and won't see himself again.

And he also hopes that the house of Randi and Zoya can for him hide from the pursuit of two men who once hurt his heart and get calm there.

Without Riani realizing it turns out that the boat he was riding almost to the destination, from a distance seen lined up inns and resorts on the beach.

Slowly the boat pulled over on the beach, after the boat had completely stopped the rudder also gave a warning to be careful down the boat.

One by one the passengers got off by following the instructions from the steering wheel, as well as Riani, Randi and Zoya.

After the three of them went down, Zoya suddenly pulled Riani's hand firmly and ran while carrying her towards the pair of old men with compact twilight age instantly standing up to see the arrival of the three of them.

Rianipun immediately knew that the two parents must be their grandparents who deliberately welcomed the arrival of the two grandchildren.

"Sheels! Daeong!" (calls to grandparents in Balinese) shouted Zoya who immediately hit and embraced grandmother and grandfather with a close look clearly there is a longing and affection that is very deep among them, until the sight was envious in Riani's heart.

"That's how my sister went, every time we went home, our grandparents would definitely be waiting for us at that place as usual, as usual, and every time Zoya would act like that and she didn't care that many people were watching her behavior" said Randi who had been behind Riani who stood looking at the harmony of a family to make him jerk from his daydream.

"That's good, Randi, if I could just be so ignorant and not care like her, I'd be happy..." Riani replied as her eyes wandered around the surrounding scenery.

It turns out that it is true, what people and the mass media say, if gili trawangan is famous for its bule village, it is seen from the many bule that passed by and stayed around the resort, hotels and houses.

"Sister Riani, Bli let's hurry here!" zoya shouted as she waved her hand towards Riani and Randi.

Without being in command again, Riani and Randi immediately walked together towards Zoya and her grandparents.

Arriving in front of the grandparents of Zoya and Randi, Riani immediately greeted and kissed alternately the backs of her hands.

"Welcome to our village, son..." Said Dadong, or his grandmother Zoya.

"Thank you so much for this warm welcome of Pekak and Dadong, I feel like I'm with my own family" Riani replied politely.

"We've considered Riani's son like our own grandchild and family since Riani's son helped our granddaughter Zoya..." Replied Pekak (grandfather) with his charismatic voice.

"I feel like I have a new family again, thanks again..." Riani said moved as she again kissed respectfully the backs of the parents' hands, both of them then gently stroked Riani's head.

"How are you doing Putu (the call of grandchildren in Balinese)?" pekak asked his grandson Randi.

"Randi and Zoya are both Pekak, and we are still in the blessing of Sang Hyang Widhi with health" replied Randi, seen in Riani's eyes that Randi is a man who is still devoutly religious and worshiped, rarely in a world that has been very modern and free association like today there are still young people who are still religious like that.

There was a sense of admiration and pride in Riani's heart, because she could know a family that still remembered God in their hearts, although their beliefs are different from Riani but it is clear that they are very respectful and respect other religions even though they are Hindu themselves, that Riani knew as they walked along the road to the house and passed by one of the residents they knew awkwardly and very eloquently Pekak and Dadong greeted by saying the usual greetings muslims do to say hello, making Riani herself who is Muslim feel very moved.

Indeed, the diversity of religions, ethnicities and cultures in Indonesia should be proud of us, the motto "BHINEKA TUNGGAL IKA" although different remains one is also true, it is true, because right now Riani felt that directly.

When tracing the row of houses decorated with beautiful green plants in a mixture with colorful flowers that smell fragrant to the streets, making Riani's thoughts float in her hometown.

The atmosphere he felt at this time seemed to remind him of the same atmosphere as his hometown.

However, he suddenly collapsed when he was stopped instantly and almost hit the body of Randi in front of him because he was shocked and amazed when he saw Pekak and Dagong stopped in front of one of the bule houses and chat with the owner using fluent and fluent English, as if English had become their daily language.

"Silver and Dagong you are fluent in English, Ran?" riani said in admiration.

"That's probably because Pekak became the chairman of RW so often interact with foreign citizens here, besides that English is also the second compulsory language after Indonesian" replied Randi.

"The term for Gili Trawangan as a bule village, is that really true?"

"It is not entirely true, because the natives of Gili Trawangan themselves are local residents of Bali and Lombok, while the foreigners themselves as newcomers, whether it is due to cross-marriage, or not, there is business and investment cooperation or indeed they really want to live as citizens of this village" replied Randi again, Rianipun just nodded his head as a sign of understanding the explanation of Randi.

There is a pride of his own born in Indonesia, because the beauty of his birthplace can attract foreigners to willingly live in Indonesia, one of them in Gili Trawangan, this, the beauty of nature is heard and famous in the international scene, to attract foreign residents to just travel or settle down on this island, until Gili Trawangan is famous as a bule village, so, as long as the wisdom and awareness of the local people themselves remain, the beauty and authenticity of the local will remain awake...
