I'm Not Him

38

A beautiful morning in Melbourne. Bondan looked at the sun shining down on his room. The shadow of Rania kissing and hugging Beni was clearly visible in her eyes. What was in his heart. Jealous, or just not willing Beni can be so happy just getting a woman like Rania in her life, just by pretending to be mentally ill.

He also felt that this was unfair to him who had always given up on behalf of his mother and sister. Bondan closed his eyes to expel his unjust thoughts.

~there is still another way for them not to get married, there must be another way~

Bondan tried to convince himself. How long before someone knocks on the door. Bondan turned around and looked at Dina who entered in casual clothes, carrying her favorite coffee.

Dina looked beautiful today, Bondan was even stunned looking at her. But Dina was being hit by a huge worry towards Rania.

"This is your coffee, brother!" dina.

Her pretty face looks worried. He was about to go back out, but Bondan held him back.

"What's wrong?" ask Bondan as if he understood the look of that face.

Dina rounded her eyes, increasingly making her look beautiful. Flicking his eyes made anyone immediately stunned at him.

Dina smilingly realized that Bondan was suspicious of her facial expression.

"No! I'm just still sleepy" Dina replied.

Bondan took off his hand, Dina saw his hand that was being released. Bondan still feels that there is something Dina is hiding. He pulled Dina back.

"Say!" pinta Bondan's.

"Hmmm..ngga there's nothing sister!" dina assured me.

Bondan frowned, a sign of disbelief.

"Even if there is, I won't speak until she says it herself" Dina murmured.

Bondan glanced at Dina who was already standing at the door about to exit. Bondan thought, maybe Dina was thinking about something that happened to someone else, not her.

Dina rushes away, while going down the stairs, she sees Beni holding Rania's hand and going out of the house. Dina ran after him, but unfortunately she could not catch up with him.

Dina sighed staring at Beni's speeding car.

"Where are they going?" mummified Dina.

"Morning date" said Bondan who suddenly stood behind him.

Dina was shocked and looked at her with her wry eyes. Bondan smiled, but in his heart there was a dislike of staring at their departure.

In the car, Beni put on a very happy face. He wants to take Rania to a park that he thinks is very comfortable to visit. While Rania is still silent thinking about all the stories she heard from Vero last night, by phone.

Overnight.

"Hallo brother!" rania said with an awkward tone of voice.

The greeting "Sister" has actually been used since he knew Vero after graduating from High School. Vero who his friends talk about is a man who always looks at him outside the school. Whether it's coming in or coming home from school.

Rania had no feelings for that long, she was only focused on helping her mother to earn money. Vero tried to offer some work that was in line with his job.

Rania never knew the purpose of the kindness Vero gave her, but now she understood.

"Hi..gimana? Did they do something to you?" ask Vero to worry.

"No bang, Nia is fine" replied Rania stammeringly.

Vero wiped his tears out because he was happy that Rania called him Brother. He was eager to hug his sister who was completely unloving of his parents.

"What can I do to get you home?" ask Vero.

"Who can, Rania still has an obligation to take care of Beni until she is really healthy and can accept Dila's departure with chest space" explained Rania.

"So this is because of Dila?"

"Well, Dila doesn't even know anything"

"So?"

"Rania still does not understand about Rania's identity. What Rania knows from here, is not so clear, Rania wants to know more clearly than sister Vero" pinta Rania.

"We should meet and talk in person, not by phone like this" Vero said

"I don't know when I can meet, this also has to steal Bondan's phone and copy brother's number, by the way can not be loud" explained Rania.

"All right! The three of us brothers, when you were born I still did not understand everything that happened. Mom and dad took us to our mother's hometown in Surabaya. You are born, we are happy, especially mother. As I recall, the names given to you are Dila and Dira Aryani Subagja. A few days after your birth, mom and dad were panicking, no matter what the doctor told you at the time. Then we went home, but on the way, mom and dad gave you to a tall skinny guy. By crying, mom gave you up, dad was the same. I don't really remember it because after I got home, mom told me she only gave birth to one daughter. Dila's with us"

"Then? How did you know I was in Heru's father's custody?" ask Rania.

"One night when I was older, I heard my mom and dad talking about you. I remember the night you were handed over, it wasn't a dream. I hate them, my relationship with Dila is getting further, because we're not so close"

Rania breathed deeply.

"What really happened was, you were actually named Dila Aryani Subagja. You should have been brought home to Jakarta because you had an illness back then. Mom and dad planned it so that the matchmaking didn't happen because I heard your future husband's mother was so greedy. Destiny makes the mother wrong to give the baby, she gave you to Mr. Heru. But fate rules everything. Mr. Heru.your father.your beloved father loves you very much. He was able to negotiate with destiny. You recovered from your illness and grew into a beautiful, strong girl"

Rania's book had goosebumps hearing Heru's father's struggle for her. Her crying is getting louder.

"So, what is happening now is.you are in your place, as yourself Dila Aryani Subagja" said Vero.

Vero closed his eyes, everything that occurred to him that sorted the life story of his own family, he had told the right person. The brother who had been away from her all this time. Now I have to tell it from far away. Vero cried over their situation.

Rania smiled, she laughed at her own destiny. How well everything has been arranged by the Creator.

In the car, Rania stared at the street full of trees. Looking at the beauty of this world, the world he had just entered. The world was supposed to be his world all along.

Beni stopped the car. Rania looked at.

"Have you arrived?" ask Rania.

"Yes, let's go down" Beni asked.

He turns around the car and opens the door for Rania. He came out and welcomed Beni's hand asking for his hand.

Rania looked at a small lake there. His eyes were stunned at the beauty of the scene. Beni smiled looking at Rania's stunned face.

"You like it?"

"Yes.very. It's so beautiful!" answer Rania.

Beni let go of Rania's hand that walked forward, letting her enjoy this scene. Then he followed her and stood near her. Hugging Rania's shoulder, Beni said her heart.

"It's not beautiful!"

Rania was astonished to hear that, she looked at Beni.

"Why? The beautiful version of everyone is different?" ask Rania.

"There is a much more beautiful, this view is still inferior to him" said Beni again.

"Where? Why don't we just go there?" rania.

"We don't have to go anywhere!"

"Ah.ayolah, don't convolve. You want to say I'm more beautiful? Dila Aryani Subagja is much more beautiful and beautiful in your eyes" said Rania.

Rania laughs feeling that it has destroyed the moment Beni has overhauled her. But Beni just smiled looking at his laughter which for the first time felt more loose.

"No...!" said Beni.

Rania stopped laughing and raised both eyebrows.

"Then what?" ask Rania.

"Rania who is in front of me is very beautiful. His personality, his face, his patience also understood. I'm in love with you. Rania Ramadhania!" said Beni.

Rania is speechless, she is surprised to learn that Beni is not Dila but Rania.

"How did you know?" ask Rania stammered.

"I've felt something strange since we lived together. Dila never smiled after I was rude to her. He was always gone and angry for days. Dila never hugged me when I cried considering my mother's treatment. He always leaves and doesn't want to know. Dila never refused my kiss, she was always aggressive and enjoyed it" Beni said.

Rania lowered her head, she had done all the things that were inversely proportional to Dila's nature. His hands trembled, afraid that Beni would become rude again or angry at him.

Beni clasped her trembling hand.

"But the more the day, the more comfortable I became and the more I liked the woman who stood by my side, despite some reason for what kept her going"

Rania looked at him, Beni approached and hugged him.

"I don't want to know why, but find an excuse to be with me forever" she whispered in Rania's arms.

That gentle hug made Rania feel greatly appreciated by him. Beni has changed, he's getting more and more in control. He who usually always hugs with passion and does not care if the person he hugs feels tight or not. This time he seemed to let Rania not return the hug. Makes Rania comfortable in her arms.
