INFINITE LOYALTY
CHAIN STORY

In the morning when Riani woke up, it seemed to be busy his mother and Bi Ijah to prepare breakfast, while Mang Muh was busy packing something in the middle room.

Maulana is awake and ready to take a shower.

"For Riani's sister..." Mulana Sapa.

"Morning Deck...Later we pray the prayer of the morning together with Dek"

"Good Brother..." Maulana answered, then walked into the bathroom.

After seeing her sister already into the bathroom, Riani immediately went out towards the kitchen to fetch some warm drinking water.

"For Ma'am, Bi Ijah..." Sapa Riani arriving in the kitchen.

"Non Riani's Portion..."

"By my son, drink this..." Bu Widya said while handing over a glass of warm water that had been prepared for Riani.

"Thank you, ma'am..."

After drinking one glass of warm water, Riani poured more warm water in another glass, then immediately brought it to her room.

Arriving at the room, Maulana had just finished her bath.

"Udah take your wudhu Dek?"

"Not Brother..."

"Then drink some warm water first and wait for Brother for a moment, we pray the Fajr Prayer together" said Riani, handing over the glass she had brought to Maulana.

"Sister, thank you..."

Maulana immediately drank up her warm water, then placed an empty glass on a small table near her seat.

After Riani took ablution she immediately used mukenah, because when glancing towards the wall clock already showed 5 hours over 10 minutes, while Maulana immediately returned to the bathroom to take ablution.

"Come Deck!" take Riani while walking out to the usual room for congregational prayers with Mang Muh yesterday, after Maulana finished ablution and wearing her scabbard.

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

After finishing the morning prayer and breakfast, Riani invited Nando to exercise casually around his apartment with Iky accompanied, the three walked leisurely around the park near the apartment.

Riani repeatedly inhaled the morning air that was still clean and fresh, then exhaled back slowly.

The incoming air flows into the lungs as if refreshing the entire body and brain.

An hour of exercise makes sweat wet the entire body and face of Riani.

To unwind, Riani sat on one of the park benches and wiped her sweat with a small towel she was carrying while gently stroking her belly which was clearly enlarged

"Drink first Mba..." Iky said while thrusting a bottle of mineral water at him.

Riani was a little surprised, as she had no idea since when Iky was already next to her.

"Thank you Ky, where's Nando?"

"Nando left for a while, he said he wanted to buy something"

"Oos...Then we'll just wait for him here"

"Good Mba..."

Riani opened the lid of the bottle of mineral water that she had been holding, then gulped it down many times until it ran out.

Freshness immediately flowed down his throat to his stomach.

"Do you want to drink more Mba?" Iky asked while thrusting another bottle of mineral water that she picked up in her backpack.

"No, thank you...Bloating my stomach later" replied Riani jokingly, trying to melt the atmosphere.

Iky just chuckled as she put the bottle of mineral water back in her backpack.

"You sit here, don't stand there" Riani asked.

"It's okay Mba, I'm used to this" replied Iky reluctantly and unmoved from where she stood.

"You can get used to that if you become Nando's bodyguard or Om Rolland's, but not with me, I don't want any social distance between us, because to me we're all the same , even though you said you were my bodyguard, but...Actually I don't need an escort like this, what I need more is protection from a friend, then there's no need to hesitate like that, obey and sit here!" riani said firmly and stared warmly at Iky while patting the empty bench beside her.

"Well, if Mba Riani doesn't mind" Iky replied and walked towards the empty bench beside Riani.

"Of course I don't mind, and one more thing, don't talk formally and be stiff when you're with me, and this matter let me explain to Nando and Om Rolland if this is all because of my request" Riani said at length, then gently patted Iky's shoulder.

"Good Mba and thank you..." Iky smiled, in her heart feeling awe and comfort when looking and talking with Riani, because it turns out he really understands clearly his position as a bodyguard which is his profession as well as understand his position as a human being who wants to be human.

"How long have you been with Om Rolland to become his confidant?"

"I've been following him since I was 15, I met him during my critical and difficult times..." Iky replied with a distant look, as if her memory was being rediscovered in her past.

"You mean? honestly I don't understand" asked Riani.

"When he found me, I was in a state of drug dependence and heavy drinking, if he did not find me at that time...Maybe I can't be saved anymore..."

"Then...How did you meet him?"

"At that time I almost raped a girl who was none other than my girlfriend, she who was terrified to see the other side of me because of the influence of the drugs, he said, yelling for help until Papah Rolland hears it and helps my girlfriend from a demon like me"

"It's still remembered that until now when he first met her, he didn't hit me or report me to the police, instead he asked the family of my girlfriend to settle peacefully about the incident I want to rape their child, because it includes criminal acts and he was willing to be my guarantor"

"Then...What about your own family?"

"My family already knew with my dependence on drugs, and they had resigned to my situation at that time, but regarding that incident, it was, papah Rolland asked me not to tell my parents and not to involve them, which would add to their burden..."

"He's really a very good person huh, even to me who's nobody wants to help me to this extent, and makes me unable to refuse his help"

"That's very Mba, and what makes me admire him so much is...He as a father figure painstakingly and patiently even always accompany me every time I go through the process of therapy to escape from Drugs and galvanize me to become the person I am today..."

"He is indeed a father figure who deserves to be admired..."

"That's why I'm so proud and so lucky to be part of his family, and willing to do anything to make him happy"

"Yes...You are indeed very lucky to have a father with such affection as a real father..."

The two halted when they saw that from afar Nando had returned and waved at them, one hand holding a plastic one.

"From a distance I saw that you were already familiar and seriously chatting" Nando said as he arrived in front of them, then handed the plastic he had brought to Iky.

"I bought your favorite guava juice Bang, and Mba Riani's favorite Pomegranate juice" Nando said.

"Thank you Bro, but by the way what juice is this?" Iky asked while showing a glass of yellow juice.

"When don't you know what your sister's favorite bang is?"

"What do you like about Nando, you forgot?" Iky replied pretending.

"Don't joke you Bang, here love me the juice!" nando replied jokingly.

"Oo I remember now, this is me giving your favorite soft banana juice" Iky joked, giving a glass of banana juice to Nando and Pomegranate juice to Riani.

"Thank you my lovely brother!" nando replied jokingly.

"Thank you Nando, Iky..."

"Together Mba..." The answer is both compact, making Riani smile with the hilarity and harmony of the bloodless brother-sister relationship.

"Your familiarity makes me jealous, even though you are not siblings, but I see and feel it, you are like blood brothers and sisters"

"That's because we were nurtured by a great and loving father" Nando replied as he stared at Iky who nodded in agreement with Nando's words.

The ringing sound of incoming calls on Iky's phone instantly stopped the conversation of the three of them.

"I pick up the phone first" Iky said as she walked away from Nando and Riani after the two nodded.

"Do you seem to respect and love your brother Nando very much?" riani asked when she saw Nando staring closely at Iky's departure.

"Of course I have great respect and love for him, if it were not for him I might not have been able to live until now..."

"You mean?" riani asked a sign not understanding the words of Nando.

"Bang Iky once saved my life by risking his life...I owe him my life..."

"You owe me my life?" asked Riani surprised, because Iky just told her that she owed a debt of gratitude to On Rolland for saving her from drugs and criminal acts that she had done before, and now Nando also tells me that he owes his life to Iky.

"Yes Mba, and the events of that time I will never forget until now and the end of my life later..." Nando replied as his eyes stared fixedly back at Iky who was talking seriously on the phone.

"The two of you have a different and unique chain of stories, but being united with destiny by a debt of life and a return in the past, makes your bond unmatched, even with a blood bond..."

"What do you mean by Mba Riani? honestly I don't understand?" nando replied turning his attention towards Riani.

"Even though you are not siblings but your inner bond exceeds the inbreeding, and it is because of past events that you have experienced..."

Nando simply bowed deeply into the words of Riani.

On the other side Iky who was done from her phone and immediately walked back towards them.

"Hi Bro, what's wrong with you?! how come I came back here when your face turned tangled like a thread?!" Iky asked as she patted hard on Nando's spontaneous shoulder to her surprise.

"Good Bang! if you come with dong's voice, the horn will be the cake!" nando pretended to be angry.

"Emang I Brother-branch love horn "Bang telolet bang teloleeet!" Iky replied jokingly, which made Nando unable to hold back his laughter.

The two continued in their jokes until they subconsciously ignored Riani who was still sitting next to the two of them and smiled seeing the two engrossed in chatting and joking.

In Riani's mind was amazed by the familiarity of the two that was created due to the chain of stories in the past that finally connected the fate of the two...

"Mba Riani's..."

The familiar voice in Riani's ears made her turn her gaze toward the voice and...

"You!"
