INFINITE LOYALTY
SHADOW PILLAR

Riani's eyes opened when her ears heard the sound of her bedroom door opening.

When Teddy came in and closed the door again, he brought some plastic wrap.

"You've woken up Ai?" asked Teddy who saw Riani was awake and sitting on his bed.

"Here I bring you porridge and warm tea, you eat..." Teddy said as he took out a bowl filled with porridge.

Then prepared by him on the tray and carried him towards Riani.

"I don't want to eat Ted, my mouth isn't very good..." Reject Riani while covering her mouth with one hand, because when her nose smells from the porridge, her stomach feels nauseous.

"You should eat Ai, you haven't eaten in the morning, it's almost night, I'm bribing ya..." Said Teddy trying to persuade Riani.

"Let me eat myself Ted..." Reject Riani and immediately take the spoon and bowl of porridge from Teddy's hand, but just now he scoops the still warm porridge, his stomach back nausea.

"Toy...Yuck!" Riani vomited again, the other hand immediately covered her mouth.

Teddy swiftly gave Riani a tissue and took the bowl of porridge from his hand.

"Try you to drink this warm tea first" Teddy said as he handed Riani a glass of warm tea.

Slowly Riani sipped the warm tea, felt by her stomach which began to feel warm and comfortable.

As Teddy fed the porridge to his mouth, unconsciously Riani's mouth opened until the porridge entered unhindered into his mouth.

And what made Riani's heart feel strange, the nausea she just felt, suddenly disappeared somewhere.

Until it does not take long, the porridge in the bowl is exhausted not left in the greedy Riani.

After Riani finished eating and finished her warm tea, Teddy gently wiped Riani's mouth with a tissue, making the atmosphere feel awkward.

Suddenly Riani was reminded of last night's events that vaguely flashed through her mind.

"Emmm...Ted last night did anything happen?" ask Riani curiously.

"How do you think?" ask Teddy who did not dare to look directly into Riani's eyes, he pretended to be busy cleaning the bowl and glass used by Riani to eat while arranging his heart if later Riani finally remembered everything.

"I remember I was vomiting then my body was cold and shivering violently, after that...I had a weird dream..." Riani replied uncertainly.

"You have a weird dream? what dream is Ai?" ask Teddy.

"A...I dream...It's just such a weird dream..." Riani replied stammered, because in her memory she dreamed of being perverted with Teddy, to make her face red with embarrassment.

Seeing Riani cover her blushing face in shame made Teddy laugh amusedly, but in his heart was also grateful, because in Riani's memory, the incident was only in his dreams.

"You vomited all night and because your clothes were dirty, I was forced to change your clothes so you could sleep comfortably and I..." Teddy answered while pinching the squash of Riani's tiny nose.

"So you...You saw me swallow..." Riani had not finished her words.

"I asked one of the resort staff to help you change your clothes..." Teddy replied lying.

Seeing Riani smile and breathe her legs, Teddy felt very guilty.

"Sorry Ai, I was forced to lie to you, because I was still afraid to accept the fact that being honest with you would make you hate me so much...And my heart is not ready for it...But I promise when the time comes at the right time I will tell you honestly everything, and I will be ready with all the risks..." Teddy said in his heart.

"Teed...Teddy?! you're daydreaming anyway?" riani asked, her voice that suddenly spread Teddy's daydream.

"Yes Ai, what did you say?" answered Teddy nervously.

"Thank you so much Ted, you've been taking care of me so painfully for so long..." Riani.

"Yes Ai, the important thing is that you are healthy first and get some rest, tomorrow I will take you to the doctor..." AnjataTeddy while holding gently Riani's hand.

"No need to see a doctor Tedd, I just need to rest, after that I must recover" rejected Riani gently, while pulling his hand slowly from Teddy's grasp.

For some reason, since that dream Riani felt awkward when in contact with Teddy.

"Yes, then you now rest, I'm out for a while there's something I want to take care of"

"Well, you be careful..."

"Okay, you should also really rest"

Riani smiled and nodded, Teddy gently stroked Riani's head, then he came out leaving Riani still stunned with a touch of Teddy.

"Why every touch from Teddy feels the same as the dream and feels very real, and even more crazy I enjoy it so much, "remember Riani you are still a wife! but still thinking about the dream of making love to another man?! crazy you Riani!" Rutuk Riani in a heart that curses herself because of her perverted thoughts.

Exasperated in his wrath and in his hair hard, hoping that his dirty thoughts were removed from his brain.

To forget about it he tried to distract her by playing games on her phone, until an incoming message sign rang.

Two messages from two different people, one from her best friend Mi-ro and one from her husband Radja.

"Dek, mas has arrived in Jakarta, the house feels empty..." Radja said in his message.

"Yes, we'll see...I can't decide yet and give you an answer now"

"Yes, you too..."

"I love you..."

Riani did not answer the last message from Radja, in her heart and mouth already felt frozen for the word love, even just saying the mouth already feels stiff.

Then he turned to his best friend's message.

"An an! do you remember your best friend?! if I don't chat you first, you don't chat me, just make me worry!" roro said with his angry tone.

Riani just smiled because she felt funny with the anger of her older sister-like best friend.

"Sorry my Mi-ro, a lot of things are happening here, but...I can't tell you everything now..."

"What happened to An?"

"I'll tell you everything after I get home"

"When are you coming home?"

"Two, three more days I'm home"

"Yes, you're there be careful and take care of yourself, Bye"

"My dear Mi-Ro, bye"

Riani resumed her favorite game, after replying and closing the chat from Roro.

An hour passed, Riani's eyes began to feel heavy and sleepy.

After charging her phone, she put her body on the bed, her still dizzy head made her close her eyes immediately, trying to sleep.

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

Slowly Teddy opened the door of Riani's room, he saw that his beloved woman had fallen into a deep sleep.

In almost the body that is rolled on the mattress, in his face a face that is still pale misty grief.

His heart and feelings were filled with love and unfortunately for the woman before him, as if not willing to see him suffer and fall into an endless abyss of sadness of goodness.

Slowly Teddy sat on the edge of the mattress, next to Riani's sleeping body, in the lift of Teddy's hand, gently and affectionately rubbing Riani's face and lips.

It was like he was removing the pain that was clearly on his face.

His heart ached and it hurt to see him in such pain, wanting him to run away to find and discover their new world without any waves of grief approaching them.

Crossing her memory when she last accidentally heard from Zoya who was chatting with her brother about the affair Radja and Randi's ex-girlfriend who snatched directly in the hotel, at that time Teddy was angry and wanted to directly teach Radja a lesson.

But fortunately Wak Made immediately calmed him down and gave him a way to get closer to Riani, and could give support to Riani.

Now she can be close and intimate with Riani, although she is finally the same as Radja.

She had desecrated Riani's chastity as a wife, but in Teddy's heart there was no remorse, for she would have been more sorry if that night she had let Riani suffer in the chills of the cold.

Let him be greedy and bear his sin, provided he can see his woman happy.

Long Teddy stared and gently stroked Riani's face and lips as she fell asleep.

And out of nowhere, seeing Riani's lips blotted out made her eyes and mind foggy, as if inviting her to re-spice on Riani again.

But with the power of love in his heart, at the removal of the mind full of perverted curse.

Gently kissed on Riani's forehead and lips, tears of hope for all the good for the woman he loves flowed down his cheeks.

In his hands tightly Riani and kissed her many times.

"O woman, I am willing to be your shield from the suffering and suffering that comes your way, I'm willing to be your weeping dam and I'm willing to be the back of your sigh even though I'm not a pillar that can stand firm beside you, because I'm just a pillar of shadow for you..."

He placed his hand in his mouth and kissed her with a cry of sadness, because he knew very well that there was a boundary between him and Riani.

The clear bond between Riani and Radja as her husband, whereas her with Riani is just a faint gray bond...

Put it slowly Riani's hand, in tidying up her blanket that was scattered in a mess.

Before he finally kissed Riani again, on seeing Riani move to change her position with eyes that are still asleep, her body curled cute make Teddy smile and anxious to see her.

Take one pillow and put it on a long sofa not far from the bed.

Then he collapsed his body that was tired and tired, for a moment he glanced at Riani who was still a motionless hermit, then calmly close the eyes that he felt heavy to open again.

Until finally, only the sound of the soprano coming out of Teddy's mouth racing with the sound of the night beast created a beautiful harmony song...
