INFINITE LOYALTY
UNWILLING, POWERLESS AND UNWORTHY

After breakfast is over, the three immediately clean up the rest of the breakfast.

Then they were getting ready to check out, yet not only did they come out, the sound of knocking on the door immediately startled them.

When the door opens, Ethan and Viola arrive.

"You want to check out today?" viola asked who saw Teddy carrying a wheelchair towards Riani.

"Yes today I checked out, so I was planning to go home and I asked them for help to help me" Riani replied quickly, trying to stop Randi who had been seen to be answering Viola's question, because Riani is afraid that Randi will tell her that Riani will stay at her grandmother and grandfather's house.

"Then what about your health, brother, we are very worried because we saw the face of Riani's brother was very pale when saying goodbye last night"

"Now it's better, so I want to go home soon, so I can rest my body and mind" riani answered again lying while glancing at Ethan whose expression was flat and not easy to guess what was in his heart and mind at this time, because of his mediocre expression.

"Later if we've returned to Jakarta can we both play brother to sister's house?" viola asked.

"Of course I can..." Riani replied lying again, who would want to meet an ex who had incised deep wounds in the past? of course Riani does not want to, especially now Ethan already has a wife now, but there is still a burden on Riani's heart that he has not returned to the owner.

One day, he has to meet and talk to Ethan.

"Then we'll go with you" said Ethan, who had fallen silent.

"No need, thank you..." Riani replied short and firm.

"Is it really okay, brother?" ask Viola to make sure.

"Truly, you and Ethan enjoy your honeymoon, no need to worry about me..."

"Yes, there's me and Randi guarding her, so you don't have to worry..." Timpal Teddy, help convince Viola.

"Well then we can calm down, be careful, brother..."

"Yes, you calm down..." Answer Riani again.

"Then we're both saying goodbye, Bye..." Viola said.

"Daddy..." Answer the three.

"Hoe! hoek!" riani's nausea returns after Ethan and Viola are nowhere to be seen.

"You're still nauseous Ai? have you taken any medication?" ask Teddy confused.

"I don't know Ted, when I saw Ethan and Viola, I actually started to get nauseous, but I got it..." Riani replied, she tried to hide, if in fact when Riani saw Ethanlah her nausea began to be felt by her.

"Then I asked Dr. Fariza first if there was another cure for your nausea..." Teddy said as he took his phone.

"Randi, please take care of Riani for a moment, I want to call Fariza's doctor first, you guys get out first, let this room I'm the key." Said Teddy.

"Good bang..." Replied Randi while pushing the wheelchair out of the room with Riani already sitting on it.

Arriving outside the resort while Randi and Riani wait for Teddy beside Cidomo, Riani's phone suddenly reads a sign calling in, but when he sees an unknown number, he, actually Riani was lazy to pick up the call of the anonymous number, but somehow she wanted to pick it up.

Finally he raised the call after many times he did not lift.

"Yes hello..." Answer Riani flat.

"My husband, it's me..." There was a familiar voice and call in Riani's ear, which turned out to be Ethan contacting her.

"What's wrong?" riani asked in her cold voice, intentionally not mentioning the name of the caller, because she was afraid that Randi would be suspicious.

"I want to meet up and explain everything, because I'm sure you still don't know everything in terms of my story..."

"Isn't everything clear then...Do I need an explanation from you again? I don't think so" replied Riani again, firmly.

"Help my Ria, give me some time...At least after explaining everything I can calm down, whatever your decision will be I can accept it, because whatever happens to you and your family because of my mistakes..."

"Enough! please don't reveal the past anymore, I don't want to open that terrible old wound again, I'll call you later if I'm ready to meet you" riani replied somewhat emotionally as the memory of the accident that took her father back.

Then immediately he hung up the phone without waiting for an answer from Ethan first, in the lyrics Randi who pretended not to hear while Riani knew for sure that Randi actually heard all the talk on the phone earlier.

Teddy has come in a hurry from inside the resort.

"Sorry, you've been waiting a long time, I called Fariza, and she told me to meet her, just..."

"What's Ted all about?" riani asked as she frowned, curious.

"What's up, Bang?" asked Randi to be curious.

"Doctor Fariza recommends a cure for Riani but the drug is only available in the pharmacy where it is in Gili Meno, while I do not know very well the ins and outs of the place, he said, doctor Fariza also happened to be there, it's just a coincidence that after I drove Riani I had to see an important client immediately..." Teddy answered explaining.

"Then let me just Bang take the cure, Bang Teddy just confirm to Fariza's doctor that I will take the drug" said Randi offered.

"Well, I'll give you the number later, sorry for the trouble..."

"Thank you so much Ran..."

"Yes mba, bang Teddy know the direction of my house after arriving at Gili Trawangan?" ask Randi to make sure again.

"Know, before me and Radja will have been there" replied Teddy sure.

"Thank God, then I say to Gili Meno first yes mba, bang..." Pamit Randi's.

"Yes Ran, be careful..." Answer Riani.

"Thank you and when I got there immediately call Fariza's doctor, I sent her a message and told her that you were going to take the medicine"

"OK bang, please take care of Riani's mom, bye..."

"Daddy..."

Teddy immediately helps Riani to climb on top of Cidomo, after folding and putting a wheelchair, he follows up to the top of the cidomo.

The atmosphere of the journey passed by with silence, the two of them fell silent to each other without anyone wanting to open the conversation first.

Until the cidomo reached the beach and took a boat to Gili Trawangan, they both remained silent...

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

Finally the boat they were riding arrived and docked on the beach of Gili Trawangan.

Slowly Teddy pushed the wheelchair Riani walked away from the boat.

"Don't..."

"Why should you lie to Randi?" riani asked Teddy who had not been able to continue his sentence.

"So you know that I lied to Ai?" teddy answered back asking.

"Of course I know very well you're Ted, who every time you lie you're gonna bite your lower lip..."

"You know so well my habits that Ai's detail?" asked Teddy, in his heart there was a feeling of having to hear Riani's words.

"Of course, Ted, five years is a lot of time and enough for me to know your habits..."

"Sorry Ai, I was forced to lie, because other than that I didn't want to meet with her either because I wanted to spend time with you for the last two days of your leave..."

"Why did you avoid it? she's beautiful, kind, smart and meek, then what's her lack?" riani urged not to be out of thought with Teddy's choice.

"Yes, she is a perfect woman, even perfect for me, but...Back to my feelings that Ai couldn't lie to..."

"What other feeling? what are you waiting for Ted?" urged Riani, Teddy stopped his steps and then sat on a large rock on the beach, in the parking lot of Riani's wheelchair beside him.

"You know exactly how I feel about you, and I never force you to return my feelings and come back to me again, so...Please Ai, you also do not force my feelings to love others, give me time and let time keep my feelings until my heart finally chooses to give up and look for your replacement..."

Hearing Teddy's words made Riani's heart very sick and feel unwilling if finally Teddy chose and found a successor, he realized that he could not be selfish like that.

"Are you not close? I see Iza also likes you, from her eyes there is love and you also have affectionate calls for her..."

"You mean Shiro's name?" asked Teddy with a meaningful smile.

Riani just looked at Teddy who was smiling sweetly, then nodded her head.

"The first time I knew him in an online game, he used the nickname Shiro, so sometimes he got carried away to the real world when I started making friends with him, until he finally got used to calling that name..."

"Oos...Then how and where do you know Andy?" riani's question shifted the conversation, as she felt Teddy catching her jealousy.

"Oo Andy yes...I knew him when he served as a bodyguard for my important client who came specifically from Australia..."

"Oo so..."

"So Ai, I beg you once again don't force me and my feelings again for someone else, okay?" pinta Teddy with a sad facial expression and his own eyes.

"Yes...Okey...I'll wait until you get bored of me..."

"Ssttt! don't you ever say that again, because to this day my feelings for you have never been bored, and I'm sure that's up to that point..." Refusing Teddy stopped Riani saying, he did not like and was sad to hear Riani say that.

"But without you knowing it, your words become a burden to me Ted...And it ended up hurting my feelings too..."

"I'm sorry Ai...For my incompetence to hold back and hold onto this feeling, which ended up making you hurt..."

"I understand Ted, I'm sorry I couldn't give you the right to own me..."

The two looked at each other meaningfully, then they stared at the dawn which began to dawn welcoming the arrival of the day with its warm rays, accompanying the hearts of Riani and Teddy, who were not willing, and who were not, powerless and not entitled to their feelings of belonging to each other...
