THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 1 Misses The Best Brother

It has been almost 2 years Dio left his home to study in the land of people. After she obtained her bachelor's degree in Indonesia, she went on to take her Master's degree in Berlin. He was willing to leave the people he loved in order to gain knowledge to develop his brother's company. He also let go of someone he loved so much in his life.

Najwa, he is Dio's cousin, son of Arsyad and Almira. I don't know what made Dio love his cousin so much. Dio has been knitting love with Najwa ever since they sat in High School. The closeness he begins with arguing with each other whether it is a matter of what, and arise to pay attention to each other.

Especially because of Arkan, he's their favorite little brother. Arkan was indeed closer to Najwa and Dio. That's what kept them close, because where Arkan was, there was Dio and Najwa with him.

"Mother.. Sister Dio has been home for a long time." Arkan who had missed his brother came home, he always asked his mother and brother, also asked with his brothers.

"Patience, 3 months away Dio's sister came home, baby," said Najwa who suddenly appeared in the family room.

That night they were gathered in the middle room. Only Najwa is not there, he has not yet come out of his room. Yeah, he just eroded his miss with Dio on a video call. No matter day or night, they always tell.

"Who said Dio's coming home in 3 months?" ask Arsyad.

"Said Dio, I was. The word opa," replied Najwa as she wrestled spoiled with Rico.

Rico Arsyad's father chose to live with Arsyad to spend his old age after being abandoned by his beloved wife.

"When did Dio say that?" ask Raffi.

"So, emm .. no, yesterday, and yesterday. Yesterday, yes" replied Najwa nervously.

"Say me, brother. I know, you're still in touch with Dio" muttered Raffi, Najwa's younger brother.

Raffi knows Najwa's closeness to Dio since Raffi caught Najwa and Dio dating for the first time. Raffi had just entered High School, in the same school as Dio, Najwa, and Shifa.

*FLASHBACK ON*

After school, Dio tells Raffi and Shifa that Dio's twin is going home first. Dio said there was a group assignment with his friend. Raffi and Shifa just say yes.

"Sister, you go home first, I have group work" said Dio Shifa.

"Yes, then Najwa's sister?" ask Shifa.

"I waited for Dio deh, in the library," replied Najwa.

"Okay, let's go home first." Raffi and Shifa finally went home first.

They go to school on motorcycles. Sometimes Raffi has a conversation with Najwa or Shifa. But, most often Raffi with Shifa, and Dio with Najwa.

Arriving at home, Raffi immediately changed clothes and went to play futsal with his friends. While at the red light, Raffi stopped the speed of his motorcycle. He stopped behind a pair of piggybacking High School students and was very familiar to him.

"That's Najwa and Dio? They said they had a job, but? I'm suspicious of their closeness" Raffi murmured.

Raffi finally follows where Dio and Najwa went. Yeah, they went to a cafe, I don't know what Raffi doesn't know. Raffi was curious to follow them. Dio and Najwa went inside. Raffi slowly followed him silently.

Dio and Najwa looked for a seat away from the crowd. They chose the seat at the very end, which was far from anyone. Raffi managed to follow him and sat with a distance close to them. He watched his brother with his cousin who was getting closer. It was Dio who dared to kiss Najwa's hand and gently held Najwa's cheek.

"Crazy, they! This can't be allowed! They're brothers, this is impossible, no, I'm wrong, I must have seen it wrong. They can't be dating." Raffi does not believe that Dio and Najwa are in a special relationship.

"I have to ask them, I have to know what they're really doing" Raffi murmured.

Raffi walked slowly closer to him. Dio and Najwa who do not care around, because they are drunk with romance, they do not realize the arrival of Raffi behind him.

"Najwa, I really love you," said Dio caught by Raffi's ear.

"Dio, but .. are we brothers?" answer Najwa. Raffi is still listening to their words by pretending to play his cell phone.

"I also realized, you're my cousin's brother, Najwa. But, I can't lie, I love you so much, Najwa." Dio continued to convince Najwa.

"Dio, I can't lie to my own heart either, I love you too, but Rania?" Najwa.

"Rania? I just thought he was a friend" Dio replied.

"He likes you, Dio. He loves you so much" Najwa said.

"I just love you, Najwa. Until whenever!" firmly Dio.

"If we'd never come together?" ask Najwa.

"I don't care!" answer Dio firmly.

Raffi's ears were getting hotter hearing the expressions of their hearts. Raffi immediately approached and asked them for an explanation.

"Raffi…!" say them together.

"I heard everything you guys were talking about. Please explain it to me!" pinta Raffi with a little pressure.

"Raffi, sit down, I'll explain" said Dio nervously.

"Explain! Explain to me why you guys are like this!" Raffi.

"I love your brother, Raf." Dio said with his head lowered.

"How come? Najwa's sister's your brother too, Dio?" Raffi.

"Yes I know, but I can't lie with this heart, Raf," Dio said.

"Raffi, Najwa please, don't tell anyone about this relationship, Najwa also loves Dio, Raf," Najwa said with teary eyes.

"If you're not brothers, I don't care, but you're brothers, you won't be able to unite for sure, this will hurt you, please, don't be like this. I love you guys, if you continue this relationship, you will be tormented later" Raffi said.

"I don't care, Raf. I love Najwa" said Dio.

"You don't get blinded by love, dong? Your love is wrong. All you get is heartache, if you do all this, brother!" raffi again.

"Raf, brother please, only you know my relationship with Dio, don't tell anyone, Raffi. I can't lie to this heart, Raf." Najwa cried and begged his sister.

"Yes, I won't say, please don't hurt Najwa, while you're together. And, I can't imagine if you continue your relationship until something sad happens" Raffi said.

"I said futsal first, you guys be careful to go home." Raffi leaves Dio and Najwa.

Raffi's heart was hard to accept that fact. Raffi knows they love each other, but hurtful things will happen. And, Raffi was sure of that.

"Sir Najwa, Dio, I don't believe you love each other, I don't know, I have to be happy or sad, you guys are the ones I care about. I do not want, your life will be tormented inwardly later," muttered Raffi

*FLASHBACK OFF*

"Hear that Najwa, Dio's sister is home in 3 months" said Annisa, Dio's mother.

"Still a long time mother," Arkan told Najwa and Dio's sister, from her parents' marriage.

"Patience, dong. Mother just miss the same Sister Dio," said Annisa.

"Arkan, indeed if Brother Dio comes home, Arkan want what?" ask Shifa.

"Streetings dong, same Kak Najwa, Kak Shifa, and Kak Raffi, as before. After all, Dio's sister went abroad" Arkan replied.

Najwa was busy with her phone. He's still texting someone, who else if not Dio. Arshad, watching Najwa as if he was happy, teased his eldest daughter.

"Message to get a message from the guy. Meet Abah, who's your lover, don't keep getting sucked up." Arsyad teased his daughter.

"Yes, you want 25 years, you know? Want to introduce your candidate when? Opa is old Najwa, opa wants to see you married." Rico asked Najwa that too.

"You guys, ask for marriage, ah, not yet" replied Najwa.

"How to get married, he's still in touch with Dio. You're the only ones who don't know everything" muttered Raffi.

"Well, Shifa got married first, who obviously had a boyfriend, I haven't, Abah. There is a special person, but he is also not ready to get married, so Najwa relax, Abah," said Najwa.

"You're the oldest here, so you have to get married first" Annisa said.

"Married not because he is the oldest, then asked to marry first, Mother? This is a matter of marriage, if you are still married, you must get married, Najwa is not a mother, if Shifa seems to have been," said Najwa.

"Cock me again? I'm ready, anyway. Just waiting for Fattah to finish his S3, Abah," said Shifa.

Shifa already has a lover, named Fattah. Son of his uncle's business partner, Vino. They meet on the wedding anniversary of Shita's sister from Arsyad, and the older sister of Arsyil, Annisa's late husband. Shifa was still in college semester 3 and at that time Fattah was already the final semester, and soon held a Bachelor's degree.

However, they formalized the binding of hearts, while Fattah was studying in Budapest, Hungary. He took his master's degree and now he went on to take his doctorate there.

"Are you sure about Fattah?" ask Arsyad.

"How does Abah think?" Shifa asked back.

"Well, why Abah? What about Fattah? Keep him a good candidate priest no?" arsyad.

"God willing, Fattah is a good priest candidate for Shifa" Shifa said.

"Mother, if mother, what do you think of Fattah?" ask Shifa.

"Fattah, he's kind, and hardworking as well as he seems, and now, it's up to you, Shifa, what about Shifa?" annisa.

"In two months, he went back to Indonesia, and yesterday Uncle Taufan called Shifa, he said Fattah wanted to be serious with Shifa. And Shifa was confused" Shifa said.

"Why confused?" ask Annisa

"Yes, I rarely meet Fattah, the time to go back and forth to immediately propose, meet Fattah also only 4 times, Mother," replied Shifa.

"Fa, it's a good man, meaning Fattah doesn't want to ask you out" Raffi added.

"No, listen to Raffi" said Najwa.

"You, where's your boyfriend, brother? Don't keep it a secret" Shifa.

"Later, when it's time. If you want to get married first, then get married, Fa. It's a married worship, isn't it, opa?" ask Najwa to Rico.

"Yes, but you also have to think about it, don't tell Shifa just," Rico said.

"Yes opa, Najwa will get married" he said.

"Oh my God, how do I explain to them that I love my brother. Dio, I don't know what to do" Najwa murmured.

It was getting late, everyone went into their rooms. Najwa had not yet moved from the sofa in the living room. He's still chatting with Dio, talking about marriage. Najwa realized, his age is no longer young now. He's 24, which means he'll be a quarter-century old soon.

Najwa still chatted with Dio. He was completely confused by Abah's and Opanya's request.

"Dio, everyone was talking about marriage, opa and Abah told me to get married, introduce my candidate, because Shifa will be in Fattah's application for two months. I have to be what I am, while you are the person I want." ~ Najwa.

Najwa was still waiting for a reply from Dio, he felt a shock in his heart because of those who suddenly asked about marriage. Najwa felt his phone vibrate, Dio replied to Najwa's message.

"Najwa, baby. I know your heart's breaking right now. I'll have a good talk with all of them. May my good intention to justify you be acceptable to all of them." ~ Dio.

Najwa exhaled heavily, seeing Dio's reply. He doubted that everyone would accept his relationship with Dio. Moreover, her brother and her father Rania are familiar, and Najwa hears they will match Rania with Dio. Whether it was joking or serious, because Reno, Rania's father, often joked vaguely with Arsyad.

"What will they accept? If they resist, then one of us is in a match? Dio, I'm scared, I'm so scared, I can't, I love you, Dio."~ Najwa.

Najwa is increasingly worried that his relationship will be opposed by his family.

"Dear, believe me, no matter what happens, I will never change. I still love you, even though they oppose and we cannot unite, I will not stop loving you, Najwa. You're the only woman in my heart." ~ Dio.

"Already, you rest, I'm on a lot of tasks, pray for me, let's quickly finish everything here. Love You." - Love You." ~ Dio.

"Love You too, baby. I will accept all our destinies, Dio. Somehow later."~ Najwa.

Najwa closed his eyes, he had no idea the matter of his relationship with Dio would be this complicated. Najwa doesn't know what to do. He had already gone too deep to drop his heart on Dio, his cousin's sister.

"Sister, I know what you're thinking. I'd say, this situation, it's gonna hurt you." Raffi suddenly sat down next to Najwa which made Najwa a little steeped in shock.

"Raffi…! You're just surprised" Najwa said.

"I don't know, Raf. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that everyone is against my relationship with Dio" Najwa said.

"That's for sure, brother. Moreover, there is Rania who is close to my brother and mother. Moreover, Reno's uncle wants Dio to be Rania's companion" said Raffi.

"I don't know, Raf. You know Dio, right? He was stubborn, he accelerated his studies, so that before Shifa was asked to Fattah he could talk to everyone, if he and I loved each other" Najwa said.

"Yes, Dio is hard, just like big brother, I hope there's a way, brother. Otherwise, you must be ready to bathe every day," said Raffi.

"I've accepted the consequences, Raf. I'm going to go to the room." Najwa moved from his seat. He went into his room. Najwa is still thinking about his relationship with Dio, who has no idea where this complicated and forbidden relationship will take place.
