I'm Not Him

54

Dila stood up and accepted everything that Vero had said.

"But I haven't been able to talk to him, honestly from the beginning I didn't like him. So for him, please don't force me" Dila told Vero.

Vero looked at Rania who was standing looking at them, waiting for them to approach. Rania desperately wished that Dila could come and embrace her. But Dila left Vero and did not look at him.

Rania looked down and shed her tears. He first came to Jakarta after coming home from Australia. He looked at his mother who was selling in the market alone. I wanted to hug and talk but couldn't. She also visits Aditya's school but finds it difficult to vent her longing. The same moment, he was eager to hug Dila. But it is difficult, the situation is very difficult to tell.

Vero approached and held Rania's hand and wiped her tears.

"She hasn't talked to you, she's a little..."

"Neverything Bang, I understand" replied Rania.

"So you came here on purpose?" ask Vero.

"Yes.I want to see Brother, was going to send a message to meet here, but...."

"Yes.seharian Dila is moody, so I asked. And it happened like this"

Rania hugged Vero.

"Yes, I'm saying goodbye. Ruby's house people must be looking for me" said Rania pamit.

Vero nodded and stroked Rania's hair.

"All right! Be careful, I have to get in from here" said Vero.

"Okay, bye Bang" said Rania.

Vero enters and he is shocked that Arumi is standing before him. Vero nodded, but Arumi approached and hugged him.

"I just understood the reason you are overprotective with both of them" Arumi said.

Vero sighed then understood that Arumi heard him.

"To be in the position of the three of you must be very difficult, you must be a mediator and protector for both of them" continued Arumi.

Vero hugged her even tighter.

"I'm very lucky to have you" Vero said.

Arumi took off her embrace and looked at Vero's face whose eyes were reddened by crying. The two of them walked in and acted as if nothing had happened. Dila asked that Vero not say anything in front of the others, especially Yudi. Dila herself will tell Yudi at the time she wants.

Arriving at Ruby's house, Rania gets a message from Dina to directly enter Bondan's workspace. Rania was a little confused but her footsteps continued towards the study above.

He opened the door slowly after knocking on the door. Everybody stand there. Anita sits on the sofa with Dina. Beni stood by the window, and Bondan sat in his chair. Rania looked at them alternately not knowing what had happened.

Dina was about to code however, Beni turned around and started talking.

"You've come!" said Beni.

"Yes, I ran out of the streets" said Rania.

Bondan was still silent not looking at him.

"Sir Bondan said you're not Dila. You are Rania and she says you are the girl whose picture was given to her before she died. Ardi's father has you guys betrothed"

Rania rounded her eyes in shock at all Beni's words. His eyes turned to look at Bondan who was still not looking at him.

"Didn't you say that I've known for a long time about you, not Dila, but Rania Ramadhania" Beni continued.

Rania was more surprised and gaping looking at Beni's face. He turned his gaze to Bondan who was squeezing the paper on his desk.

~What happened? What Bondan..?~ heartfelt Rania.

"Do you also know about that you are actually the same brother Bondan who was betrothed not us?"

Rania sighed and was about to approach Beni to explain everything. But Beni raised her hand in a gesture to keep Rania in position.

"Look! All people know is, you two are engaged. It's already happened, what would momi say to them if the couple suddenly changed?" said Anita.

Rania glanced at him. In Rania's mind, Anita only wants to match her with Beni just for the treasure. He did not respond to all his words.

"I can explain, we can talk in your room" said Rania to calm Beni down.

"I'm not sick anymore, Rania!" said Beni.

Rania approached and grabbed her hand.

"I've been able to work, I've even prepared the wedding of our dreams. And everyone commented that it was a very beautiful concept. I can accept everything Rania. Tell me you don't know if you're the one getting betrothed" Beni said emotionally.

"We go to your room, we'll talk there. Hm!" bring Rania.

"He said he could accept everything. Just tell him here, explain to him that you are still on his side just for his health reasons" Bondan said as he stood up.

Anita and Dina sighed, they looked very dislikeful of this moment.

"Abang! Why anyway? Brother can get a woman who is more beautiful and good than Rania. Let them get married. Momi doesn't have any more face if you decide anything else" Anita said.

"But I love Rania mom!" answer Bondan.

Rania sighed again while Dina looked at her and shed tears, her feelings unnoticed by everyone in the room.

"I gave up enough, Beni is better now. He should be able to accept that the real me and Rania are being betrothed. And we love each other" Bondan continued.

Beni took off Rania's hand, slowly stepping out of the room. Rania looked annoyed at Bondan. He was about to catch up to her but Bondan held back his hand.

Anita and Dina pursue Beni to calm her down.

"Why are you doing this?" rania asked with restraint.

"I'm upset that he keeps saying your wedding plans" Bondan replied.

Rania takes Bondan's hand off.

"You can have patience since childhood and sacrifice for Beni. But can't you for the time I asked you to?" rania.

"When? when is that the right time? you also did not say that momi and Beni know that you are Rania. I should have been angry" said Bondan.

Rania held back her emotions by taking a deep breath.

"Much you don't know. Think again about this match. I'm afraid you're disappointed with everything you don't know" Rania said.

He leaves following Beni leaving Bondan with many questions in his mind about his last sentence. Bondan felt that it was not the right time to say it all.

While below, Rania knocks on Beni's room door which is locked from the inside.

"Arn....Ben. It's me Rania! Please open the door. Please!"

Rania was crying, she felt like de javu. Repeatedly, the moment where he first met Beni. The same situation.

"I beg Ben, open the door" Rania said with tears in her eyes.

Dina and Anita who were behind him were worried about Beni's state. They were afraid Beni would do something stupid again.

Rania continued to knock on the door and grew even more desperate. Hedi approached and offered to break down the door. Rania retreated and looked at him expectantly.

But the key sounded and the door opened. Beni stood up and sat back to her bed. Hedi was relieved not to break down. Rania and Dina as well Anita entered.

Anita sits next to him and checks on Beni.

"You don't do that anymore, do you?" anita asked with a worried face looking at her.

"I want to talk to both Rania" said Beni.

Anita looked at Dina and they came out.

Rania is still crying, despite knowing that Beni is not doing anything stupid like suicide again, but she knows that Beni is very hurt by this fact.

"I'm sorry!" rania.

Beni told him to sit next to her. She stroked Rania's hair.

"Tell me. honestly! Do you love Bondan?" ask Beni.

Rania looked down, not knowing what to answer. He loves Bondan and also loves the way Bondan loves him. But I can't just say it to Beni.

"So that's why you've always held back with me. You're trying to keep me from touching you. Because you love other people, not me"

Rania couldn't talk anymore.
