I'm Not Him

53

Vero was watching the workers who were working on the repair of his restaurant. Fajri, Yudi, Arumi and Dila were also there to help. Vero was still thinking about Rania who still had not spoken to him after the incident in the cinema. Vero also saw the face of Dila who had come to look like he was thinking something.

Vero walked closer to Dila, then he helped Dila work while talking slowly with her.

"What's wrong? you look less excited today"

Dila stopped and looked at Vero questioningly in his mind. Vero looked at him, he smiled to make his sister feel comfortable to talk to him. But Dila instead kept quiet and left with an annoyed face.

Vero caught up with him, Dila went to the back of the building. Vero pulled Dila's hand, he was afraid that something happened to him that Yudi caused.

"What's wrong?" ask Vero again.

Dila brushed off Vero's hand with hers.

"You already know that Rania is disguised so I'm at the Atmajaya family home!" said Dila slowly but firmly.

Vero gaped at Dila's words.

"Where do you know? Arumi?" ask Vero.

"Huhff...Arumi is too innocent with complicated situations like gini. Either plain or stupid!" said Dila upset.

Vero closed his eyes to explain it to Dila. But back to talking.

"You went to Ausi to see him, right? The girl you praised with her character and toughness, now what do you want to praise from her the deceiver?" said Dila.

"Stop talking bad about other people!"

"Oouhhhhh...he is still an idol? Come on.he's a cheater. Whatever reason he keeps cheating people. He became me so that I could enjoy the comfort of living in Ruby's house. So Dila Aryani Subagja. Just look I'm gonna sue him" Dila's getting pissed.

"Enough Dil, Rania ain't like that!" said Vero slowly.

Dila laughs at Vero's defense of Rania.

"I beg you not to do anything. At least until I can fix it all"

"What needs to be repaired? Here's the problem, Rania's a real jerk, so I. He's the one who has to stop or I'm unloading everything and making him shy in front of everyone!" Dila started screaming.

Vero approached and closed his mouth so that the others would not hear him. He rebelled and wanted to talk again. But Vero immediately pulled him out and away from the neighborhood of the building. Dila kept trying to get his hands off Vero. Without looking, Vero continued walking, his steps halting as he saw someone before him.

"Rania!" muttered Vero while taking off Dila's hand.

Dila fell silent, she shifted to Vero's side to see the person blocking Vero's steps. Dila's eyes widened, she couldn't help but get close to Rania and slapped her hard.

The slap echoed in the hallway of the building, for a moment the three of them fell silent. Vero stared at Rania's face that had survived her twin sister's slap. Tears fell on the tip of the eye of one of his eyes. While Dila was relieved to have done what she really wanted.

"What are you doing?" vero said after he realized from his silence.

"Something I've wanted to do since I've always been compared to him. And it turns out he's nothing more than a SWINDLER!"

Dila pointed at Rania's face with anger.

Rania remained silent and accepted Dila's words. His hands were trembling, his face was reddened yet he tried to remain silent.

Vero approached Rania and examined her cheeks.

"Your cheeks are red Ran!" said Vero gently touching it.

Dila was astonished by Vero's attitude.

"Sir! You already have a girlfriend, right, then why do you treat her so well and sweetly? He's just a con man who's gonna dredge up all the Atmajaya family's possessions!" said Dila still with his regret.

Vero closed his eyes with his anger in check, he did not want to bark at his sister. But even so, Dila continued to talk and cursed Rania.

Dila still talks.

"I SAID ENOUGH!" this time Vero's voice made Dila silent.

Rania held Vero's hand to lower her tone. Slowly Vero took off Rania's hand and approached Dila. Vero hugged Dila then whispered.

"The three of us are a family, the twin sons and daughters of the Subagja family" he whispered.

Dila pushed Vero hard and backed away from him. His eyes were still and increasingly staring angrily at Vero.

"You're trying to fool me? The brothers? You are crazy" said Dila in disbelief.

He thought, Vero and Rania conspired to deceive him.

"With Dila, I'm not lying. I'm your brother who you always play with but I ignore you" said Vero.

The memory of Vero suddenly appeared. Dila remembers when he invited Vero to play, but Vero instead brushed his hand away. They fell silent, and then Dila spoke.

"I'm the only child of the Subagja family. I don't have an older brother who rejects me"

Dila's words made Vero feel guilty for ignoring him since childhood.

"Only I was taken care of by Anita Atmajaya after my father and mother died" Dila continued.

Rania looked at him with great pity and sadness.

"Only me.only me. By myself..."

Vero and Rania looked down feeling that everything had passed so complicated and made a deep wound in their hearts.

Dila said it all with tears. He was surprised by all the words of Vero, and then his heart acknowledged them, but refused for a moment as he remembered all the restraints Anita had on him.

Rania cried seeing Dila cry, she was very understanding of Dila's feelings that she also felt now. Vero came back and hugged Dila, but Dila still refused. Then Rania approached and hugged Dila.

This time Dila was silent in Rania's arms, she was sobbing in the chest of her twin. Vero hugged them both.

Meanwhile inside the restaurant, Yudi looked for Dila. He's looking into the kitchen. Arumi walked in from the back door, making Yudi look at her and ask.

"Where else? why go in from there?"

Arumi rounded her eyes.

"I'm.tadi litter, no idea" replied Arumi with a smile.

"Look at Dila, no?" ask Yudi again.

Arumi was silent for a while and thought about what she should say. He saw everything but it was impossible to say that Dila and Vero as well as Rania were in the back of the building.

"Related!" reply Arumi.

"Where is he? Is he coming home?" yudi Gumam.

Arumi walked slowly in, then Yudi caught up with her. They come back to help others.

In the back of the building, Dila sat on a drum and Vero sat in front of her saying everything. While Rania was standing a bit far away staring at them talking.

He remembered just now that they were hugging each other, Dila was furious and pushed him hard. Dila did not want to be approached by Rania. Gently, Vero persuaded him to listen.

Not a single word was spoken from Rania's mouth. He doesn't know what to say. All Dila's accusations he can't deny. Although her goal of becoming her twin was not what was alleged, Rania knew it was wrong.

But not one bit he blamed and regretted everything that happened. This is all destiny. It was fate that made him meet Bondan. Destiny lets them know they are brothers.
