INFINITE LOYALTY
FORGING LIVES

Teddy's daydreams are up when Roro and om Rolland have returned and gone inside.

"You're back..." Said Teddy.

"Where are you guys from?" ask Aunt Widya.

"We're talking about something Auntie, because Ethan and his wife came here..." Answer Roro.

"Oos...So what you said was that a guest came and wanted to see Riani was Ethan, wasn't it Ted?" ask Widya's aunt who turned her eyes toward Teddy who was wrong.

"I...Yes Auntie, because the aunt did not ask so I did not tell who came" replied Teddy nervous and not happy.

"It's okay Teddy...You're right, after all the aunt also did not think it was important, what else Ethan has become a past for Riani and he also has his own life, just that...Why would he know that Riani was here and wanted to see her?" ask Aunt Widya worried.

"In just want to visit Riani alone Aunt, because as far as I know Viola, his wife Ethan is also a good friend of Riani" replied Roro, trying to calm aunt Widya.

"Yes Widya, you just focus on Riani's health and don't think about anything else" comforted Om Rolland.

Roro who heard the word Om Rolland by calling his aunt Widya so familiarly made his memory back to his conversation with om Rolland two days ago, when Om Rolland asked him for help to immediately contact Widya's aunt and persuade her to donate blood, replacing Riani, so that it could reduce the big risk if Riani remained cool to donate blood.

At first Roro was confused, why om Rolland could know the type of donor aunt Widya and could know him, but finally Roro's curiosity was answered after om Rolland told everything, it turned out his assumption at that time was not wrong.

It's just...Om Rolland asked him to promise to keep this secret and not to tell Riani and Widya's aunt about him who already knew everything.

Roro looked towards the clock that was stuck in his hand, then he immediately got up from his seat and approached Widya's aunt.

"Auntie...I'll go home first, because soon the clock is almost up..."

"Yes son...Be careful on the road and thank you for taking care of Riani..."

"Yes aunty together, oh yeah! Excuse me...Tomorrow I can not accompany Riani because I have to go to work, there is a sudden and important meeting at the office, please tell An-an later"

"Yes, son, Aunt will tell Riani, you focus on your work"

"Good aunt, thank you..."

Aunt Widya replied with a nod and hugged Roro's body warmly.

"Then I also say Aunt, how do I take you?" take Teddy to Roro.

"Alright, thanks Ted..."

"Together Ro..."

"Then we say yes, Auntie, Om..."

"Yes, you careful and grateful" replied Om Rolland.

"Yes Om..."

Roro and Teddy walked out of the room, only to be left behind by Om Rolland, Aunt Widya and Riani who were still fast asleep.

After the shadow of Roro and Teddy disappeared, Aunt Widya walked over to the body of Riani who was lying asleep with her calm face.

Aunt Widya smiled, then lovingly kissed Riani's forehead and whispered...

"Mom knows you're a great and strong boy, stay that way my dear son..."

Om Rolland approached Widya's aunt and gently embraced her daughter's mother's shoulders.

"I already know everything about the relationship between our son and Radja, Teddy and Ethan..."

"Then...As his father what are you going to do with them?" ask Widya flatly.

"As a father, I will do my best for my son and not care about them all, but if any of them hurt my son, I will not hesitate to act beyond my limits..."

"Then what about Radja, Riani's husband? as you already know, he has often betrayed and hurt our son and the last time he even had a child from another woman, he said, while on the side of the child we are now pregnant child, it is ironic fate of our child is not it?" widya said, this time with a sad tone and could not stem her crying anymore.

Rolland immediately hugged Widya's body tightly, his heart crying bitterly and feeling torn, his feelings filled with regret because the two women he loved so much so suffered.

The guilt that erupted made him who, even though he was a man, was finally powerless to hold back his cries...

Riani's awakening from her sleep forces Rolland and Widya to re-pretend to be like strangers she just met.

"Son, then Om saying goodbye first, Om remind you again that tomorrow there is a routine check of pregnancy and USG"

"Yes equally, om must say your greetings to Nando, then say goodbye first, son..." Said Om Rolland while gently stroking Riani's head.

"Yes Om, be careful on the road"

"I said yes, Miss Widya..." Rolland said and walked towards Widya, then greeted her to say goodbye.

"Yes Mr. Rolland, thank you for your help all this time to my son, be careful on the road yes sir..." Widya replied with a friendly smile and replied to Rolland's hand post.

"Together and no need to hesitate so bu Widya, Riani already I think like my own biological child" replied Rolland with still tightly grasping Widya's hand.

"Thank God, then be careful on the road and Bye" widya replied repeating the farewell speech and forcibly released his hand from the grip of Rolland who was still tightly in his arms and squeezed Rolland's hand with all his might.

"Oh! okay, then I go now Bye..." Said Rolland who finally realized after feeling the pain in his hand because of the strong squeeze of the hand from Widya.

Rolland then walked out of the room.

After Rolland's body shadow disappeared behind the door, suddenly Riani asked a question that made Bu Widya surprised.

"Previous mom knew Rolland, didn't she?" riani asked probing, because he felt when his mother and om Rolland interacted with each other, instantly the atmosphere in the room felt changed and different.

"You are son...Where did you get to know her? while I only met her while in this hospital" Bu Widya replied carefully, because she did not want the answer to raise suspicion in Riani's heart.

"But...Why is it that every time I see Mom and Om Rolland talking and acting I feel like the atmosphere is changing, Mom?" riani asked again full of wonder.

"Ah...Maybe it's just your feelings, that's it... Don't think that macem-macem, the most important thing now take care of your health for the sake of the baby in your womb" replied Bu Widya trying to divert the conversation and gently stroke the stomach of her child who is pregnant with her future grandchild.

"It's been...Don't be too smitten, rest enough...Because tomorrow will check the contents again" said Bu Widya again, when she saw the dissatisfied expression of her son after hearing the answer from him.

"Alright, hopefully tomorrow the results are good, ma'am...So I can get out of this hospital as soon as possible and move to a quiet place for my future baby..."

"Amen...God willing, son..."

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

Riani still could not close her eyes, her mind was full of events that she had experienced all day.

Starting with the arrival of the King to be followed by the arrival of Ethan and Viola, and they are all people he currently does not want to meet.

Until their arrival today made him quite shocked and caused his desire to leave this hospital immediately.

At her sight, the mother had fallen asleep on the sofa near her bed.

Slowly and carefully Riani got out of her bed and walked towards the place where her mother was asleep.

Arriving next to the body of his mother who was still asleep, in his eyes deep in the face of the woman who had given birth to him.

Looks tired wrinkles in her old age, but does not reduce the beauty of the middle-aged woman.

Without Riani noticing, her tears had already flowed down her cheeks, there was a sense of regret and a feeling of guilt swaying in her heart.

He rubbed her softly and gently on her mother's face.

"I'm sorry Mom...Because your son can't make you happy...But I promise you one thing, no matter what happens, I will never give up on the situation and should be able to achieve my happiness with my son later, so it won't worry you anymore, so...I also have to find your happiness..." Riani whispered in her heart.

Riani rubbed her catan water flowing profusely on her cheeks, while her hand covered her mouth so that her crying voice did not come out so as not to wake her mother's sleep.

With an occasional bit of swinging between her cries, Riani walked back to her bed.

Arriving at the bed and laying down her body Riani pulled her blanket to cover her stomach, because she did not want her future baby to feel cold.

Riani's affection for her baby-to-be, made her realize that everything that had happened to her was a life for which she had to play in order to obtain special gifts from God.

Finally Riani smiled, and gently stroking her stomach that she felt had begun to grow, there was nothing else that could make her feel very happy besides the presence of the baby, because now he has got a special gift from God.

"Thank you very much God...For You have entrusted this special gift to me..." Riani lirih.

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

Maybe because he was too tired of his heart and mind, so that in just a matter of minutes Riani had fallen asleep.

Let go of all the trials and forges of life that he had been living...
