INFINITE LOYALTY
LIFE TRAUMA

Towards the night Randi came home, he chose to stay at the house of one of his friends who was not far from resort X.

While Riani after in between Randi until the resort immediately went to take a shower.

After feeling refreshed after taking a bath, Riani felt hungry.

It crossed his mind to the restaurant for dinner, because in resort X it turns out black card users including Riani get a breakfast and dinner that is luxurious is also expensive, and all free.

Just as Riani came out and closed the door of her room, suddenly Randi was already standing behind her which automatically when Riani turned her body around made her shocked.

"Randy! ye...Shock me"

"Sorry Mba Riani, it has surprised you..."

"Unlike you who usually Ran, before you want to meet me, you always tell me by calling me first?"

"Yes mba sorry...If I arrive suddenly and do not tell you in advance, this is also because a college friend first, suddenly invited me a reunion and dinner at this hotel..." Reply Randi explained the reason, for feeling unwell towards Riani

"O.o..." Briefly answer Riani and nod his head a sign of understanding.

"Look, actually I mean come here also because I want to ask for help mbak, about can not ya mbak?" asked Randi hesitatingly.

"What do you want me to do first?" ask Riani curiously.

"Mbak Riani would not help me come and accompany me at my college friends reunion?" randy replied carefully.

"OK, then what clothes should I wear to your reunion party, because honestly, I didn't bring a party dress like...?"

"Ordinary formal clothes mbak, after all the show is also not a big event, just a few friends, just it is necessary to bring a partner..."

"OK then it's easier and faster, you just wait in the lobby, I'll change clothes first..."

"Okay, thank you for helping me..."

"Together, let's just say I helped my own sister and family, so...No need to be so..." Answer Riani lightly.

"Oo well, again thank you for thinking of me as my own family..."Randi replied with an awkward smile.

"And again, from now on, if you talk to me, don't be too formal, we're family now..." Riani said again while patting Randi on the shoulder and passed into her room to change clothes, while Randi who was left still standing in front of the door just nodded and smiled that seemed to fade changed sadness with the disappearance of Riani behind the door of her room.

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

It only took half an hour for Riani to change clothes and make thin makeup on her face.

Riani wears clothes that she happened to buy while in Bali, Korean style clothes in padu padan with thin makeup and soft colors on her face.

He immediately walked towards the lobby where Randi was waiting for him.

Arriving in the lobby seen by him Randi also has changed his clothes, the man who he already considers his own sister looks handsome with a fashionable but relaxed dress.

Randi who saw the arrival of Riani, momentarily amazed by the appearance of Riani which is very different from what she usually sees everyday, she looks more graceful and beautiful when dressing up.

The wave of Riani's hand on him instantly spread his gaze which from earlier attached not to blink on Riani.

Riani's smile at him even more fascinated, with Randi's swift smile as she walked to welcome Riani.

After they met, Riani immediately held Randi's arm.

"Mr Riani, tonight you are so beautiful, thank you for helping me..." Said Riani somewhat whispering in Riani's ear.

"It's good to help you..." Riani replied with a smile, because it was nice to hear Randi no longer speak formally to her, which indicates that Randi can accept that Riani considers him a sister.

The two immediately headed to the medium-sized hall, when they got there it turned out that the guests had also gathered.

Seeing the arrival of them both one of Randi's friends with her appearance that was parlente with her sexy female friend approached her.

"You've finally come, Bro!" he said they hugged each other for a bit and patted each other on the shoulders as a form of greeting each other.

"Include dong Ran, who is the beautiful woman beside you..." Said the friend of Randi in her rancid style while glancing towards Riani.

"Hallo, meet me Riani..." Riani replied as she extended her hand towards her friend Randi.

"Wow...Riani, Randi! a matching name, a pair and a great fit, sorry...I'm Alex and he's Nindi, my girlfriend" replied Randi's friend Alex, shaking Riani's hand.

"You're Lex, don't talk carelessly..."

"Oo sorry Bro..."

"Hallo, nice to meet you" Riani said as she shook Nindi's hand.

"Hallo, nice to meet you too" Nindi replied with a sweet and friendly smile.

"Welcome to our reunion!" alex said in a loud voice while allowing Randi and Riani to join his colleagues who had enjoyed the dinner.

Randi and Riani immediately joined them, one by one Randi introduced Riani to his college friends first.

With the nature of Riani who is supple and easy to get along he can mingle with friends Randi whose age is far below him.

Seeing Riani chatting while laughing freely with the others, Randi was very happy because Riani could blend in with her friends.

The atmosphere of the dinner party is getting more exciting with various games.

Until the clock was shown at eleven p.m., the event was over and the guests disbanded.

Randi and Riani do not go home immediately, they intend to take a short walk to enjoy the nightlife around resort X.

The two of them walked down the street around the hotel while chatting casually.

"How were Riani's impressions after meeting my friends?" ask Randi.

"Maybe because they are still relatively young so just enjoy and welcome..."

"I'm also sorry, ma'am, if Alex's attitude is like that..."

"It's okay, maybe he's been carrying like that, but I don't think he's the bad guy type, because I see he really appreciates women..."

"Here, he was not like that, when he was in college he was a quiet person and only had a few friends, including me, he was the smartest student at our University, he was a quiet person, but since his father was in prison for killing his cheating mistress, and his mother who committed suicide because she was too shocked by all of that, and after that incident he changed completely as Riani saw now.

"But I know she's just from the outside like that, but not in her heart no, because I see her treating Dini very gently..."

"That's probably because she loved her late mother so much, and felt so lost"

"Yes...If we lose someone we love so much, it will change everything, for better or for worse..."

"That's fine, I totally agree, and the loss of our loved ones will leave us with grief and trauma, for example, me and Zoya, we see firsthand when both of our parents prefer to save us and willingly roll in the flash flood to disappear from our sight both of us, it has left us until now traumatized to see the big waves and to swim..." Said Randi recounting his sad experience with eyes glaring far towards the high seas.

"So that's why you didn't want me to go swimming and snorkeling in Gili Meno?" tanya Riani remembered the incident back then.

"Rubber mbak..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know at the time and I'm also concerned about the passing of your parents..."

"It's okay, and thanks for hearing my story..."

"I'm glad you're sharing your story with me..."

"Then...Will Riani share her story with me?" tanya Randi fished Riani.

"Anytime, I'll tell you, but...For now I'm not ready, sorry Ran..."

"It's okay mbak, I won't force"

The two stopped by the shore, they both stared at the sea in front of him which was dark with stars and fishing boat lights.

The wind blows strong, seeing Riani cold Randi took the initiative to give and put her coat on Riani's body, she smiled at Randi.

"Thank you..." Riani said, Randi nodded and smiled gently.

Both of them looked back at the sea and were immersed in their hearts and minds examining the life trauma they each experienced...
