I'm Not Him

39

At home, Arumi looked at Dila who had just come out of the bathroom. Dila.

"My sister likes you because you look like Rania, the woman who made her heart melt first" Arumi said while drinking her coffee.

Dila stopped and turned around, then smiled.

"I'll make her forget about Rania. He will like me more, Dila Aryani Subagja" said Dila confidently.

Arumi smile.

"We'll see when fate brings you together before Yudi simultaneously. So Rania was chosen, not you. If I were you, I'd better avoid that pain" Arumi said.

He left Dila at home. Dila was upset and threw a towel on her bed.

"Rania...Rania.....I wonder what he looks like. Why did someone who knew him like him so much. It makes me hate. Supposedly, if there is me here, then only I am the center of their attention, not him" said Dila.

In restaurant.

Fajri has come and helped the service crew tidy up the tables and chairs. Arumi came by stomping her every footstep.

Fajri glanced at him, he saw an annoyed expression on Arumi's face.

"Why? Vero's hard to contact?" ask Fajri.

Fajri's hand didn't stop gluing at the table. Arumi held Fajri's hand and looked at him deeply. Fajri is misbehaved and tries to take it off, but Arumi asks.

"I'm right, right? Yudi felt so guilty about letting Rania go. He's not gonna turn around, is he?" asked Arumi with confidence.

Fajri smiled laughing and relieved because Arumi was just acting up.

"Where do I know!" said Fajri took his hand off.

"You're a man too, you should have guessed it. Yudi is so stressed that she gets drunk every night just because of Rania. He likes Dila now. It must be because Dila looks like Rania. Aye right?" continued Arumi.

"I only knew Rania for a moment. Not so familiar. I don't really understand their relationship either. I can't comment" Fajri replied.

Arumi frowned.

"But Rum, the man was created not to wait. If his love is gone, he can look for another love even though it is difficult to forget the past" continued Fajri.

"Ngga, my Vero is not like that. He set his heart to be the same as mine, though far away. You guys are like that" said Arumi while going to her study.

"So.he's angry. Answered even like that" murmured Fajri.

Yudi who had just entered saw Arumi enter with annoyance.

"He why?" point Yudi at Arumi.

"Tau.dateng-dateng immediately angry" replied Fajri.

Dila followed and immediately took the laptop. Without greeting anyone he opened the laptop and started working. Fajri and Yudi stared at each other.

Rania and Beni came home from their streets. Anita, Bondan and Dina who were gathered in the living room looked at those holding hands.

Beni's steps stopped near Bondan.

"We just took a walk in the park near the lake. Dila liked him a lot" he said, making Bondan jealous.

Beni smiles to see Bondan squeezing his pen. Rania rounded her eyes not expecting Beni to do that in front of everyone.

Rania pulls Beni and takes her to her room. Rania frowned looking at Beni.

"Why? I'm right, we just took a walk in the park by the lake. Kan!" said Beni.

Rania gave up on her thoughts. He thought Beni could change from his childish attitude.

"You said it on purpose near Bondan" Rania said.

Beni smiled and stroked Rania's hair.

"I just made sure to her that you and I would stay happy. So he can feel calm letting you go with me" Beni explained.

"You know everything, why don't you hate me? Ask me why I became Dila, or anything else that makes you feel like you've been deceived by me. It would make me feel better for being wrong. Don't be like this, it makes me feel awkward and weird" Rania said.

Beni speechless.

"Don't feel awkward with me anymore, we're engaged. You can tell me anything. But I will never be angry with you again. I won't ask you why you're here to accompany me. God has sent you to my side. I will only take care of you as my gratitude to Him" Beni told Rania.

"I'm going to rest, I'm a little dizzy" Beni said.

Beni came out after kissing Rania's forehead.

"Would I bring food to your room?" ask Rania to be worried.

"No need!" beni replied while waving her hand.

Rania was relieved Beni came out of her room. For one to two hours he can calm down and figure out a way for Anita's plan to fail.

Rania came out and was about to ask permission to come out for a while, but she heard Anita talking in the living room.

"Momi thinks you should go to Kalimantan soon. Lots of projects there. It would be better if you focus there" Anita said.

"There's Marlin there, he's very reliable and very competent. I'm not going anywhere mom" replied Bondan.

Anita's eyes stared intently at Bondan who was still checking the files on his laptop. Anita looks angry with Bondan's refusal.

Rania sees him and feels that Anita has other intentions besides sending Bondan to take care of the project to Kalimantan.

Anita stood up, Bondan and Dina looked at her.

"Momi wants to go to work" said Anita.

He explained because of their gazes as if he knew that he was upset. But Dina and Bondan smiled and nodded.

Anita walked in a hurry. In his hand he saw a cell phone, as if someone was contacting him. Rania sees him, her curiosity brings her footsteps following Anita.

Anita did not close the door well, Rania also held back quickly so as not to close tightly. He listened to what Anita was talking about on the phone.

"Yes!"

No sound for a few seconds.

"So, I think I should see Wandy to speed up the transfer of Subagja's property" Anita said.

~Wandy! Who else is that?~ heartfelt Rania.

"Come back here, leave that woman named Nuri. I've had enough of a sense of resentment to be jealous of the way you approached her" Anita said.

Rania's eyes were round, she was surprised that the man named Ryan was approaching Nuri.

~What? So that's how he got the info on me! Nuri...what are you doing?~

"Whatever, you want to eliminate it too I don't care" continued Anita.

Rania was angry to hear Anita say that. He came in and shut the door hard. Anita was surprised, turned around and looked at Rania.

"A little bit you hurt one of my friends, I'll make you regret trying it!" rania pointed it out.

Anita smiles.

"I'll call again!" anita told Ryan.

Leisurely, Anita put her phone on the table then looked at Rania.

"What can you do?" ask Anita to challenge.

"I'll tell Beni and Bondan everything, EVERYTHING. They will hate you and leave you" Rania said.

Anita laughed, laughing at Rania's innocence while threatening her.

"Rania...Rania..this is what I like about you. You believe that love exists. That's what I used from Beni and Bondan as well as Dina. No matter how hard you try to make them hate, they'll never hate me. Because they love me so much even though I hurt them" Anita said confidently.

Rania silently looked at him, who was walking over. Rania prepares herself for the possibility of Anita being rude.

"You seen Beni? The stupid boy still complies with me despite always getting psychic pressure from me" whispered Anita.

Rania's eyes widened, how Anita had really pretended to love them all along.

"Otherwise Bondan. He will think that you are a nobody to be able to make him oppose the mother he loves so much" said Anita.

"You're too confident for a middle-aged woman who's actually weak. There will be a way to make you understand, affection cannot be forced, threatened or bought. I'll try to find him" Rania said.

He walked out leaving her annoyed. Anita looked at him while grinning.

"I don't like your attitude Rania. I'll hurt them one by one without you noticing" Anita murmured.
