INFINITE LOYALTY
The World Is Not as Wide as Moringa Leaves

The next morning, due to Sundays and work holidays Riani and Roro plan to go out and shop, and, but they went to the hotel first to bring all Riani's clothes and luggage from the hotel to Roro's house.

"What house are you leaving?" ledek Roro when entering in Riani's hotel room and saw there were several suitcases and other items.

"Initially it was just an intention to stay for a while but...Because I have a vacation plan to Bali when taking a leave later so yes all make preparations now..." Riani replied smiling shyly while scratching her non-itchy head.

"So you're going on holiday to Bali, who did you go with?"

"Who is Mi Ro, who is she?"

"I thought it was your husband or Teddy"

"Not both"

"Here sit a little while I'll tell you about my ten years until my meeting with Teddy, don't you want to hear it?"

Riani just nodded and immediately followed Roro said, then sat down beside Roro.

Roro begins his ten-year story.

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

"After I married my husband Heri, I was immediately in boyong to Aceh because he was transferred to Puskesmas in one of the villages in Aceh, you must have known that"

"Yes, when I went home, I stopped by and met your grandmother, and she told me everything"

"If I remember my grandmother, my heart until now was very sick An an, my regret because in her last moments I could not be beside her until she was not as long as I could not come..." Roro said with teary eyes and a face filled with regret.

Riani immediately hugged Roro and patted her back affectionately.

"I'm sure Mi Ro, back then you must have had a reason why you couldn't come at Grandma's last moment, and she would have understood..." Riani comforted Roro, but she nodded.

Roro continued his story.

"Until the second year of marriage, we were gifted a cute daughter, we named her Wyne Fatiah Heri Sudibyo..."

"Gee...Very pretty name, I'm sure she must be as pretty as her name and mama"

"He's an agile and active boy, he's the one who fills our days full of joy up to..."

Roro fell silent and did not continue his words, his eyes that had started to glaze over.

Looking at Roro's facial expression, Rianipun understood, there was a very deep sadness that had incised a wound in his heart.

"If you don't want to continue the story, you should not and should not force it Mi Ro..." Said Riani while gently stroking the back of Roro's hand, she shook her head.

"I'm fine, I just need a minute to get my heart set before I continue my story..."

"Are you sure Mi Mro will continue with your story?" asked Riani again to reassure her, because she could not bear to see Roro's very sad face like that.

But Roro answered him with a nod of confidence.

"At the same time I want to confide in you, let's just say that I shared the burden of my life for the past ten years with you..." Roro replied again with a smile teasing me.

"Yes, I'm ready to share your burden, it's my dear Mi Ro..."

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

"Until that disaster happens...As we were about to cross the sea by ferry the ship we were on suddenly had damage and with only a matter of minutes the ship sank, I survived, but Wyne my son...He didn't survive and Heri's body wasn't found..."

"Masya Allah Mi Ro...I'm sorry for your condolences and deeply saddened by what happened to you, don't continue your story if it will only open your heart again..."

"It's okay An an, it's not how much, I'll continue until it's done..."

"How yet? you mean?"

"If you don't mind and want to continue the story...Okay, continue..."

"Up to a year later I lived a life full of sadness at the loss of my beloved daughter and my husband's unaccounted body, until one day when I moved town because of my job, that's when I met a figure similar to Heri and when I made sure, it's true that he's Heri, but..."

"But what is Mi Ro?"

"Heri is married again and his wife is pregnant with her child, at that time it hurts my heart, in my heart ask...

"Why did when he survived the sinking of the boat he did not immediately seek our existence, instead married and have another family...?"

"But the wife said that it was her fault, because when she found Heri in a state of memory loss, she was, and after Heri came to her senses from her memory and to return the favor for saving Heri's life, she married him..."

"Oh my God Mi Ro, surely your heart must have been very sick...?"

"Not only does it hurt, but it breaks to pieces, and to avoid misunderstanding and my heart will grow broken if I am still one city with it then I choose to leave the city, but good luck still isn't on my side..."

"What happened to you again Mi Ro?"

"When I was on my way to another city I was robbed and kidnapped to be hired as a worker***commercial"

"Astaghfirullah Hal Adzim...Then what happens next...?"

"When I was on my way to serve my first client I managed to escape and that's when I met Teddy and helped me, he and I immediately reported to the police and the Human Rights Agency"

"Thanks to Teddy's help, the Portitution Syndicate can be captured to its roots, and most importantly, thanks to Teddy, there are many women who survived their lives and honor, including me"

"Alkhamdulillah O Allah...I also have to thank Teddy for saving you"

"You know An an, when I met her near the Hotel and Resort, she was sitting by the beach with blank eyes, a face filled with sadness and she was crying..."

"At that time, when I saw him cry, my heart and mind wondered, why would a man cry like that? and what kind of heartbreak makes it that way?"

"But after I've been friends with him for almost three years, I just found out, you're the one who made him that way, his love is too deep extinguished which makes him until now do not want to be close to any other woman" continued Roro again which makes Riani surprised by the fact that he just knew from Roro about Teddy.

"I'm telling you all about Teddy not to influence you in your decision making, I know you're having a problem with Radja, but I also don't want you to make the wrong decision after hearing the truth and facts about Teddy"

"No Mi Ro, I won't make the wrong decision, and thank you for telling me everything about Teddy and you're right my problem is nothing compared to yours, maybe if I were you I wouldn't be that strong..."

"That's what I'm doing just because I want to repay her, because she actually forbade me from telling you this"

"Don't you ever fall in love with her?" ledek Riani was also curious about the status of the relationship between Roro and Teddy.

"Neighbor! I consider him like my own little brother, if this is the answer you want to hear" Roro replied smiling as he pinched Riani's nose, as if he knew what Riani was thinking.

"Yee...What's wrong with you, I'm really grateful if you can take care of Teddy for me, however he's the one who's been in my heart before"

"And one more thank you, thanks to your ten-year story I also realized that the problem I was facing was not yet how much, and only a small part of your problem appeal and I'm sure I can definitely get up, face and solve this problem..."

"Well...So dong An an as I know it, like the proverb "The World is Not as Wide as Moringa Leaves" which means any problem do not be narrow-minded and must be able to deal with it because there must be a way out..."

Hearing Roro Riani's words felt open his heart and mind.

"Yes Mi Ro you're absolutely right, thank you Mi Ro for opening my heart and mind..."

Riani hugged her best friend's body tightly.

"Yes An an my dear...Equally, have embraced it, later not kelar-kelar mberesin your stuff..." Roro replied as she took off her embrace, they both finally laughed after realizing there were still a lot of things to do.

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

By midday they were finished and soon left the hotel where once a silent witness to the cries and complaints of Riani's wounded heart.
