THE BEST BROTHERS

S3 Love For Them Chapter 30 "House of Mas Joko"

They're all having breakfast together, Arsyad and Annisa today aren't going to the office. After breakfast, they take the kids to school, and they go both ways.

Arsyad invited Annisa to see his house which will be inhabited later.

Arsyad turned his car into a large yard. Beside the house decorated by a colorful flower garden, there is a gazebo in the corner of the garden. Beside the gazebo there is a security guard post, every day the space of Arsyad is guarded only by one security guard and one gardener. The classic luxury house is located not far from the house of Annisa. Annisa did not think the house belonged to Arsyad. Not only Annisa who does not know, the house that knows only Arsyad and Almira. However, Almira never wanted to occupy her husband's house. He wants to be in his own dream home.

"Sir, whose house?"ask Annisa.

"Sister's house, let's get down." Arsyad pulled Annisa out of her car.

Arsyad greeted the security guard who always guarded the house.

"Sir, how, everything's done?"arsyad asked Mr. Jais the security guard who guarded Arsyad's house.

"Already, sir," he replied.

"Okay, I go in first, sir,"pamit Arsyad.

"Yes, sir, please," replied Mr. Jais.

Arsyad walked ahead of Annisa. Annisa still does not deny that the house she often sees is the house of Arsyad.

"This house is too luxurious, is this really Arsyad's house?"annisa murmured in the heart.

"Nis, you don't just wear heels so slow!"shouts Arsyad who is far away from Annisa.

"Yes, just a minute." Annisa hastened her steps towards Arsyad.

"Sister,"call Nisa.

Arsyad stopped his steps as he was about to enter the house, he looked back.

"What else, Nis?"ask Arsyad.

"Let's go in!"arsyad.

"Yes, patient, yes!"annisa hatch.

Arsyad pulls out Annisa's hand to enter her house. Arsyad took Annisa's hand and walked beside her. They pored over every room in his house.

"Sister, is this really home, brother?"ask Annisa again.

"No, Mas Joko's house,"tukas Arsyad.

"Sir, I asked seriously" Annisa said.

"Yes, big brother seriously, anyways you, from the beginning already know this is the house sister even asked again," said Arsyad.

"Who knows it's not sister's house" Annisa said.

"If it's not my house, whose house, huh?"arsyad asked as he lifted his wife's chin.

"Mas Joko's house." said Annisa while pulling Arsyad's nose tightly.

"Nisa! Sick tau!" Arsyad grimaced in pain while holding his nose.

"Hurt, right?" Annisa teases her husband.

"Yes, sick," said Arsyad.

"Duh, pity, pain huh?" Annisa rubs Arsyad's nose gently.

"Come, to the room." Arsyad pulled Annisa's hand towards the main room.

"What do you want to go to the room?"ask Annisa.

"You sleep, you eat" replied Arsyad.

They went to the main room, a very spacious room, with a classic bed, there was a dresser and wardrobe, all carved and made of teak with the best quality. The eyes of Annisa are spoiled by the view in the room that is really classic and modern.

"This is a room?"ask Annisa.

"Our room, who else would you like? Do you want to sleep in the barn?"arsyad Tukas.

"Oh, leave Mas Joko's room, just kalem time, do not have to make an effort." said Annisa by sitting himself in a bed that is quite spacious.

"Sister, you're lying, yes" Annisa said.

"Lied how?"ask Arsyad.

"Say, sister's house isn't as big as Nisa's, but the truth is?" Annisa said by looking at the face of her husband who had been staring at her.

Arsyad smiled and sat down beside Annisa, she embraced Annisa and rubbed Annisa's head.

"It's not big, is it?"ask Arsyad.

"Sister, like this you say not big? It's too big and too fancy" Annisa said.

They were silent for a moment, Arsyad still rubbed his wife's head.

"When did you have this house?"ask Annisa.

"Before marrying Almira," she said.

"Kok Kak Mira doesn't want to stay here?"ask Annisa again.

"Son would say, Mira wanted to be in her dream home" Arsyad said.

"This house I have never lived in, which occupies this house, Mas Joko and Mr. Jais," said Arsyad.

"Mas Joko?"ask Annisa.

"Yes, he's a gardener here, who cleans this house every day, he lives here with his wife, Mba Lina," Arsyad explained.

"Oh, then Mr Jais? Is he alone or with his wife?"ask Annisa.

"Sir Jais' house is close from here, so his wife is at home, he also often goes back and forth to the house" explained Arsyad.

"Do you like the room?"ask Arsyad.

"This room?" Annisa asked back.

"Yes, Iah," said Arsyad.

"Say I was told to sleep in the barn?"ask Annisa.

"You want to sleep in the barn? Let me take you," said Arsyad.

"I don't want to, I'd better go home" said Annisa.

"Eat him, I asked seriously, Nisa. Don't like the room?"ask Arsyad again.

"Yes, I love it." answered Annisa by getting out of bed and walking to the toilet.

Annisa turned the bathroom door handle, she opened it. The bathroom is also very spacious.

"Nis, come out yuk, look at the children's room" Arsyad said.

Annisa and Arsya are out, Arsyad showing rooms to Dio, Shifa, Raffi and Najwa. The rooms are opposite each other, Dio and Raffi's rooms are side by side, while Najwa and Shifa's rooms are opposite Dio and Raffi's rooms.

"Sister, how many kama are there?"ask Annisa.

"On the second floor there are three more rooms, you know, my family is a lot, just look if gathered in the papah house, until the house as large as the papah house just seems to be less spacious," explained Arsyad.

"Yes, yeah. Happy, sister, have many brothers" said Annisa.

"You don't be like that, you also have many brothers Nis, don't feel alone." Arsyad rubbed Annias' head again.

"The ones I love are all gone, brother. Papah, ma'am, Arsyil, they're leaving for Annisa. Sometimes Annisa feels like the world is unfair, sister." said Annisa with a sad look.

"Don't talk like that, you still have Dio, Shifa, Najwa, Raffi, papah, and you have me too." Arsyad hugged his wife who was already seen glazed over her eyes.

"Don't be sad, we're all one family, don't cry, Annisa." Arsyad wiped away the tears of Annisa who had started to drip on her cheek with her thumb.

Arsyad looked into Annisa's eyes, they stared at each other. Arsyad pulled Annisa again into his arms.

"Nisa, you are now my wife, should I be happy? Or sad? Since this heart is still in Almira's heart, I'm sorry, Nis. Actually, before Arsyil made a house for you, this house was already standing strong. I've always dreamed of living with you in this house, but the truth is different, you chose my sister, and I married Almira. Almira doesn't know about this house either. Because after I found out you belonged to Arsyil, I didn't want to see this house anymore. I'm sorry I lied, Nis," Arsyad murmured.

"Sister, let go, I can't breathe" Annisa said.

"How about, the kids' room?"ask Arsyad.

"Good, it fits this room for our girls, and this one is also suitable for Raffi and Dio," Annisa said.

Annisa and Arsyad surrounded every corner of the room in her house. Arsyad did not breath Annisa's hand from earlier. They clasped each other tightly in their hands. Annisa also let Arsyad hold her hand and not let go.

"Do I have to learn to love Arsyad? I know he doesn't love me either, just like me, who doesn't love him, but I'm comfortable being hugged by Arsyad. Syil, I'm sorry, I split my heart a little for your brother. He's my husband now, Syil. I have a duty to serve him, I cannot serve him without love. Although now it has not been able to grow love for Arsyad, but I have been given a sense of comfort when near him," muttered Annisa.

Annisa headed to the back, she went towards the kitchen. The kitchen is very neat. Mini bar that is near the kitchen classic and modern style, as well as a dining room for a very spacious family.

"Nis let's go to the back of the house" Arsyad said.

Annisa walks behind her husband, again surprised by his beautiful staging. Garden in the backyard as well as a swimming pool with a very cool view on the eyes.

"Sister, did you buy this house from someone, or did it do so? Brother just bought his land?"ask Annisa.

"It used to belong to a rich man, his house is old. Brother bought it from him and brother renovations themselves, this swimming pool has also been there since. But different from a shell. Everything has been remodeling brother as desired brother," he explained.

Annisa was still surrounding the garden at the back of her house, she was sitting herself in the chair in the park. Arshad approached him and sat down beside him.

"Sister, this big is your home, but no love for what? As small as the house we live in but there is love in the house, so much more beautiful, sis. I don't expect you to love me, I know, it never will, maybe never will. And neither can I, neither can I love you, brother. But I always try to be the best wife for you" Annisa muttered.

"Nis, daydream again." Arsyad surprised Annisa who sat down daydreaming until she reached her height.

"Ah, yes brother, sorry," said Annisa.

"Nis, can you be honest with you?"ask Arsyad.

"Yes, be honest, brother," replied Annisa.

"Actually this house I bought after I used to know you, I always thought, if I could marry you and live in this house. But the truth is different, you turned out to be my sister's lover, you loved her. And after that, I just let this house go, without anyone knowing, just me, and just you. Almira actually does not know about this house, "revealed Arsyad.

"I wanted to sell it again, but in vain, because no one dared to buy at the price I offered. Now the reality is different. I've married you, but this heart is not what it used to be" Arsyad said.

Annisa was silent with Arsyad's words, she was so touched by his sister-in-law's words. Such was the love of his sister-in-law to him long ago. But it instantly collapsed because the woman who was beside him chose his sister. And because of the angelic heart woman filled Arshad's heart. Yes, Almira, the love of Almira is so strong that Arsyad cannot turn away from his heart. Almira's love still lingers in the depths of her heart. Even her heart was still full of Almira.

"So, didn't you tell me, Mira knows this house?"ask Annisa.

"No, Almira never knew this house, after you bought Arsyil, I immediately gave everything to Mas Joko and Pak Jais, those who took care of this house during my marriage to Almira. Brother just saw this house back when Almira was dead. It's also because someone offered it yesterday, but it didn't" Arsyad said.

"You want me to take you to stay here?"ask Arsyad.

"Then papah?"ask Annisa.

"Father, you'll come here later, or at Shita's house" Arsyad said.

"I haven't talked about this with Papah or Shita. Everyone does not know the existence of this house," added Arsyad.

"Sir, why did you buy this house?"ask Annisa.

"Because I used to love a woman so much and I want to make her happy" Arsyad said.

Annisa just fell silent, she recalled how Arsyad loved her so much. Arsyad repeatedly expressed love for Annisa when she was a student, but she always refused. Because he chose Arsyil and loved Arsyil very much. It turns out that he ruined Arsyad's dream to live with her.

"Is that woman me, brother?"ask Annisa.

Arsyad turned towards Annisa, they looked at each other. Arsyad broke down his smile and he nodded his head.

"Yes, that woman is you, Annisa," Arsyad said.

"But sorry, I can't love you anymore, Nis. I don't know when I can love you" Arsyad said.

"I know, brother. Didn't we get married because of them, not us, from the beginning of our deal like that right?"ask Annisa.

"Yes, Nis. Maybe I haven't been able to fulfill my duties as a husband, and I don't know when I can, I'm sorry, Nisa" Arsyad said.

"I understand what you feel, forgetting the people you love, it's not easy, brother. Moreover, we have lived together for a long time, like me as well, I still cannot accept others in my heart. However, I always try, so that I can be the best for my husband right now, is not a heavenly woman with a husband, brother? And in order to reach that heaven, I must be devoted to my husband" Annisa said.

"Yes, Nis. You know, you will also try to be a good husband and a good brother for children" Arsyad said.

"I'm sorry big brother, Nis," Arsyad said.

"Yes, brother, I know how Ms. Arsyad feels." Annisa clasped her husband's hand tightly, she kissed the back of his hand.

Arsyad rubbed Annisa's head and leaned on her shoulder. They fell silent, Annisa felt comfortable in the arms of her husband. For some reason Arsyad could not love Annisa as he used to, he only considered Annisa as his sister, nothing more than that, he loved Annisa as much as he loved Shita and Rachel.

How many are in the back garden. Mas Joko just came to Arsyad's house because he just drove his wife to the market.

"Sorry Mr. Arsyad, I just came, had just taken my wife to the market" said Mas Joko.

"Yes, mas, it's okay" Arsyad said.

"Oh, yes. This is my wife, Annisa, and starting next week my wife and children will occupy this house, I ask Mas Joko to clean every room in this house," said Arsyad.

"Alhamdulillah, finally after decades, Mr. Arshad will occupy this house." Mas Joko is very happy because soon this luxurious and large house will be inhabited. Not only he and his wife live in Arsyad's house.

"Yes already, later I ask to clean this house, because it will be rame, mas. My son is 4," Arsyad said.

"Lho instead of two?"ask Mas Joko.

"I remarried yesterday, and my wife already has two children" Arsyad said.

"Oh, so that's it, sir, I'm sorry, you want to have lunch here right? Let Lina cook for mom and dad" Joko said.

"May, while waiting for the children to come home from school, we will have lunch here" Arsyad said.

Annisa and Arsyad went back inside, Annisa was busy reorganizing the room, wiping the slightly dusty dressing table.

"Sister, this isn't her bed sheet yet?"ask Annisa.

"Yet, the closet is still empty" Arsyad said.

"It's a shame that a house this big, with complete furniture but everything is dusty" Annisa said.

"Well, how else, Nis. I have given up on this house, it is not sold either" Arsyad said.

"Well, it wants to be in this house, sister," said Annisa.

"Sister, how's Mira's house?"ask Annisa.

"Almira's house is always crowded, Alina and Naila she takes care of Almira's reading garden, while her house, Almira's domestic assistant who takes care of her during my stay at the papah house," Arsyad said.

"You don't want to just stay there?"ask Annisa.

"If I stay there, how can I learn to accept you as your wife, if there is only Almira living in every room of her house" Arsyad said.

"Try me if you want to stay in your house?"ask Arsyad

"Let it be, the house is for Dio or Shifa after she gets married" Annisa said.

"We need a new atmosphere, Nis. Not to forget our partner just yet, but to get used to ourselves together" Arsyad said.

"Yes, sister" replied Annisa.

Annisa and Arsyad arranged her room and made her room clean. They also clean their children's rooms before they pick up the children home from school.
