INFINITE LOYALTY
A CIRCLE OF LOVE, NOT ORDINARY LOVE

Gently holding Ethan's hand, the warmth flowed to the recesses of Ethan's heart, and he felt a calmness and peace in his soul after Riani touched and clasped his hand.

"Ethan's...You know for a fact that my father loves you very much, and even loves you more than I do...Shortly before he died the person he remembered and wanted to meet was you, until I finally realized one thing, that my feelings for you now have changed, from a lover's feelings to a brother's feelings, because now I consider you my family..." Slowly and carefully Riani explained to Ethan who was speechless.

There is anxiety and fear in his heart, because in Ethan's residence, the change in Ethan's facial expression is very visible, Riani is on guard against the worst possibility that is the emergence of another person in Ethan, Riani, which means Ethan's pain is back.

Long Riani waited for the reaction and answer from Ethan until finally...

"No way my Ria...That's not possible! why are you so easy to forget about our love and our feelings?! ethan said in a rather loud voice while gripping and shaking violently on Riani's shoulder.

Pain, that's what he felt on his shoulder, because of Ethan's very strong grip, but as much as possible he held it back and did not cry, but when he saw Ethan's face that was crying heartbreakingly, sad, the feeling of her mother seemed to wake her heart until finally she was also carried away and joined in crying bitterly.

"I'm sorry Ethan...Perhaps this is the best path God has given us both, we cannot defy His will and can only resign ourselves to doing nothing..." Inner Riani pilu.

Although Riani has tried to ascertain her feelings for Ethan and convince herself, even to Viola that she does not love Ethan as her man, but still when he saw Ethan so suffering from loving himself, his little heart was slashed which made his feelings so painful for him.

Without Riani noticing her hand gently stroking Ethan's head that was crying and bending to the knees, her head that was bowed as if it was not strong to hold the wound in her heart.

Ethan immediately hugged Riani's body tightly while still in a kneeling position.

Riani was helpless, she could only shut up and let Ethan cry with her who was also powerless to hold back her tears.

Suddenly...

"Haha...!"

Ethan's sudden laughing voice made Riani immediately jumped in shock and without him realizing it took a few steps back from Ethan's arms.

"J'S...Josh?! are you Josh?" asked Riani stammered and immediately realized that another person from Ethan had appeared, he could already guess the figure of Josh who appeared because he saw the character traits of Josh who was funny and fierce, he was, like aunty Grace once said.

"Yes me, why Riani? are you disappointed in me because I married another woman?" ethan answered, who has changed into Josh, he smiled cynically at Riani.

"It's not like Josh, I just want to tell you the truth about what I feel right now..."

"lik! lied you! I know you're lying, and I hate hypocritical women! I know you still love me, but you can't accept the fact that I've married another woman" Ethan said in a voice filled with emotion.

"It's not so Josh, but..." Riani had not yet finished her sentence...

"Enough! I love you so much but you act like this, like you don't need me! can't you feel how much my heart hurts with that attitude of yours?" ethan said with explosive emotions while wringing his hair.

"Haha! I lost to time! the person I loved gave up on time and circumstances, I lost, hahaha...!" Ethan shouted again with a laugh, but then finally cried..."

Riani approaches Ethan who is still crying and sitting limp, Riani also sees Viola from outside the room who is not heartless and cries to see her desperate and hurt husband.

Then Riani gestures with her hand to give Riani time to persuade Ethan.

Viola nodded in understanding and took a few steps back from the door of Riani's room with tears.

Riani walks toward Ethan, then crouches down in front of Ethan and hugs him.

"I'm sorry Josh..." Riani said softly.

"I love you so much Riani...Please don't leave me again...Stay by my side...If not, I'd rather just die..." Ethan said while tightly hugging Riani's body, as if he did not want to let go.

"Alright, I will not go and will always be by your side, but you must obey and follow my words for routine treatment and therapy" Riani pleaded again in a soft voice.

"What am I taking medication for? I feel like my body is in good health, Riani." asked Ethan in surprise.

"Yes I believe you must be healthy, it's just that.trauma when you die first, still often interfere with your health Josh...I beg you to yes, for my sake..." Riani tries to convince Ethan.

"Trauma's dead?" ethan is getting confused.

"Yes, once you died a torso and finally came back to life, maybe you can't remember the consequences of that trauma, but that's okay..."

"Well, I will follow your words for routine treatment and therapy as long as every time I undergo treatment and therapy you must always accompany me, how?" ask Ethan to make conditions.

"If it doesn't clash with my work, I will definitely accompany you"

"Then I will set my treatment schedule, to adjust to your working hours, how?"

"As much as you're Josh, as long as you're on medication, I'm fine"

"really? you have to promise me first" Ethan said less sure.

"You must keep your promise first, I will also keep my promise..."

"Yes...Now you're happy, aren't you?"

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, dear..." Ethan said affectionately, kissing the back of his hand gently and his face back radiant.

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

Riani and Ethan, now a private named Josh, decide to leave the room.

Viola who had been patiently waiting for the two of them immediately stood up from his seat when he saw Ethan and Riani coming out.

"You're still here, Vio?" ethan asked who immediately turned cold.

"You can't be Josh, however Viola is your wife, she is..." Not finished Riani spoke, suddenly Riani's stomach felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, immediately Riani asked for a break back to her room.

While Ethan and Viola stared worriedly at Riani who passed by regardless of the two of them.

Arriving in Riani's room, she headed straight to the bathroom in her room.

"Hoe! hoek!" Riani spewed out all of her stomach contents.

Riani's body immediately felt powerless after vomiting, she thought maybe because she had not taken the medicine for nausea.

Riani walked slowly with her limp body towards the exit.

Ethan and Viola wait anxiously in front of Riani's room door, they both can't enter because it turns out Riani accidentally locked the door of her room from inside.

Seeing Riani come out of her room, with faces full of anxiety Ethan and Viola beat Riani who looked limp with her face pale.

The two immediately led Riani to sit in a more comfortable chair.

Then Riani immediately looked for the cure inside the bag she was carrying.

Ethan immediately takes warm drinking water for Riani, while Viola spits on Riani's head and nape.

After Riani takes her medicine, Ethan picks up her phone and walks out onto the porch, hearing that she is contacting someone.

"Look, Ethan looks very anxious, sorry brother...If I couldn't help you..." Viola said he felt guilty.

"Why apologize Vi? I should be the one apologizing, for asking you not to come in when Ethan yelled, I'm sorry Vi, because I made you feel uncomfortable..."

"Sister, as long as Ethan can heal, then I can be friends with the uncomfortable feelings..."

"You're a really good wife, stupid if she takes you off"

"But I also know very well that feelings can't be forced, so I can only do what I should do as a wife"

"I know, but I also hope you never give up your feelings for your husband Ethan"

"I'll never give up on my feelings, but.to get her heart I'm a bit pessimistic, because as Riani's sister saw, of all three personalities Ethan, he said, all he has in his memory is Riani's sister, he can forget the others but not Riani's sister, because I know she and the others love you very much..."

"It was because of Ethan's initial cause of pain because of me, so I was also the one who had to be responsible for healing and restoring Ethan's consciousness to his original person..."

"Because that's my sister, I beg you to help my husband even if I have to let him go as long as he is healed and happy with the one he loves, then I will, I will, because I'm so sad to see him suffer so much every time his pain comes back..." Pinta Viola with her tears that began to break.

"I promise I will help him, but you also have to promise to keep him as your husband, because I think you both deserve to be happy too..."

"But Ethan would be very happy if he could be with you, sis, as long as I could be close to him and be in his memory even though he would not be his wife anymore I would be quite happy sis..."

"Hush! you don't say that, right now you are his wife so you should enjoy and feel your happiness too, you should stay optimistic and I will help you as much as possible..."

"Thank you, brother..."

Riani nodded with a smile, the two smiled at each other and turned their gaze towards Ethan aka Josh who was still busy with his phone on the porch of the house, he looked serious about something, he looked serious about something, but the two don't hear much of Ethan's voice.

For a moment Riani stared at Viola's face which was still staring at her husband with eyes full of love wrapped in sadness.

Riani sees that Viola loves Ethan so much, while Ethan loves her so much, that it makes her realize that they are in a circle of love, not ordinary love...
