THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 4 "Stupid" The Best Brother

At night, the Reno family was at Arsyad's house. Najwa, Shifa, and Rania are still removing the kangen on the balcony. As always, the balcony is a place for them to gather. They are familiar from the past, but after Rania in Singapore they rarely get together again. Moreover, Shifa and Najwa also have their respective activities that he must wrestle every day.

"When Dio gets home, Fa?" ask Rania.

"Say 2 or 3 months" Shifa replied.

"It's gone, huh?" ledek Najwa with tight chest.

Yeah like that, but he's cold, somehow Dio's always been like that." Rania slightly smiled wryly accepting Dio's cold reality with her.

"Try the video call, Ran," said Shifa

"I don't dare, he's fierce" replied Rania.

"You like it too" said Najwa.

"Don't like it anymore, Najwa. L loved her. Even I rejected other men, who were clearly better than Dio," explained Rania.

Najwa's heart increasingly felt slashed many times hearing the words of Rania. It was indeed a pain to hide the relationship with Dio from all of them. Moreover, everyone supported Rania and Dio united. And tonight, of course, everyone will discuss that.

"Do I have to tell Dio? That tonight is all about her and Rania. Dio .. I'm sorry, if I give up, to release you with Rania" Najwa murmured.

"Nanuva .. Najwa ... Your phone's ringing." Rania surprised Najwa who was daydreaming at that time.

"Well, I'll pick up my phone for a second." Najwa came down and went into his room. He picked up the phone from Dio.

Najwa had forgotten not to wake Dio up. And, Dio felt a little annoyed with Najwa for forgetting that.

"Darling, why don't you wake me up." Dio immediately said that behind his phone.

"I'm sorry, I helped you again. Dio is Rania, same as Om Reno and Aunt Ana" said Najwa.

"Remain them?" ask Dio.

"Come," said Najwa.

"Dio.." call Najwa.

"Hmmm." he replied, which was still a little cranky with Najwa.

"Don't sulk ah" said Najwa.

"You forgot me" said Dio.

"Dio, I'm jealous" said Najwa.

"Jealous? Why jealousy?" ask Dio.

"Rania from earlier told me about you, she seems to love you a lot" Najwa said.

"For him to be like that a long time ago, honey. Don't put it to the heart, okay." Dio gave a kiss on his phone and replied to him.

"Dio, I am called mother" said Najwa.

"Okay, always take care of your heart, I'm sure we can be together, baby. Wait for me to come home" said Dio.

Najwa turns off his phone and comes out of his room to see his mother.

"You're in the room, let's wait for Om Reno" Annisa said.

"What's wrong, mother? Isn't dinner over?" ask Najwa.

"There's something Om Reno and Abah want to say, let's go out" Annisa asked.

"This must be about Dio and Rania's match. I have to give up" Najwa murmured.

Najwa sat next to his op. He knows what they want to talk about. Cold sweat had soaked Najwa's palm. He really didn't want any of this to happen, but how else. All his brothers arranged. And, I don't know since when Arsyad became such a forger.

"We've all gathered tonight, only Dio can't get together yet. Actually, Abah wants to tell you all this. But, since there is no Dio, so Abah please, you keep this a secret. Abah knew, Dio wanted this too, and after Abah thought about it again, also because Om Reno wanted to talk to Abah. Abah agrees to Om Reno's request to match Rania to Dio" Arsyad said.

"Attep, Syad. You don't like this, does Dio want to? It's a matter of marriage, Syad. No kidding. You two don't be like this. Being betrothed is not necessarily happy," said Rico.

"Well, Abah, maybe Dio already has a girlfriend?" Raffi.

"If you have a lover, Abah obviously knows, he does not have one" said Arsyad.

"How did Abah know? Raffi heard he wanted to introduce his lover to Abah, Abah, don't be like this, if Dio refuses how?" Raffi continues to reject his brother match Dio with Rania.

"Syad, it's true, we ask Dio first, don't just match this. Yes, I know, my daughter wants Dio, but we should also know, how Dio is. Does she have a boyfriend? Or not? If so, later if married to my son Dio still loves his lover, pity Rania," said Reno.

"Yes, said Dad, Om. Maybe Dio already has a lover," said Rania.

"Rania has always loved Dio, but if Dio had to, Rania couldn't live with people who didn't love Rania, Om" Rania said.

"Then?" ask Arsyad.

"Rania doesn't know, Om," said Rania with a bow.

"Change, it's better to talk later if Dio has come home," Annisa added.

"Mother, Abah knows, Dio also likes Rania, but he pretends to be jaim," said Arsyad.

"That don't be pretentious, who knows, Dio already has a lover," gap Annisa again.

"Yes, we'll talk about it again, Ren. Waiting for Dio to return from Berlin" Arsyad said.

"OK,"

Everyone is still gathered in the middle room. Indeed, since Rania is close to Najwa and Shifa, the Reno and Arsyad families are getting closer. Arsyad really wants to match Rania with Dio from the beginning. However, because Rania is abroad and Dio is also busy with his studies, so only now Arsyad talked about this.

"Change, if Abah knew who Dio's lover was. Dio is Abah's daughter's lover" Raffi murmured.

"Oh God how is this? Is this the moment I'm gonna break up with you, Dio?" Najwa wondered in his heart.

Reno's family is ready to go home, Rico invites to talk to Arsyad. He did not understand where Arsyad's thoughts were going to match his son. Rico never saw his son become a forger. This time Arsyad did become a forcible, forcing his son to follow his mind.

"Syad, Nis, papah wants to talk." Rico invites Arsyad and Annisa to speak in the living room, after Reno and her family leave.

"Speak what, pah?" ask Arsyad.

"Sit down." Rico put on a serious face with Arsyad and annisa.

Rico sat down and took a heavy breath. He's hard to talk about all this. He did not want to hurt his grandchildren because of the matchmaking.

"Let Dio choose his own future life partner, Syad, do not be forced if Dio does not want to" Rico said.

"It's true what Papah said, brother," added Annisa

"Father, Annisa, I'm actually not good with Reno, because she wants all of this, since long ago when Dio High School was eager to match Rania with Dio. I turned it down because I knew, Dio was a kid, and we finally agreed, that we're going to get Dio and Rania together when they finish college" Arsyad said.

"Father it's up to you, Syad. But, remember, no matchmaking goes smoothly. Papah knows, what kind of man Dio is, and he has what kind of criteria for a prospective companion, it doesn't seem like the Rania that Dio wants. There's another woman that Dio wants, Syad," Rico said.

"I also agree with Papah, I know what Dio is like. What she wants is a woman who is like her budheya" explained Annisa.

"You mean?" ask Arsyad.

"Like Sister Mira, she covets women like Kak Mira, Sis," replied Annisa.

"While Brother Arsyad knows, how is Rania, right? What is Dio criteria? No, right?" annisa.

"Yes, far from being a soft-hearted Almira, but I've talked about this with Reno, I'm afraid he's disappointed that if he fails, especially Rania, he also wants Dio from a long time ago" Arsyad said.

"Yes, don't get dizzy, wait for Dio to come home, don't be rash about marriage, Syad. Marriage is a sacred thing" Rico said.

"Yes, pah. Arshad did not think about it. And Arsyad immediately say yes to Reno," said Arsyad.

"You are, brother. Do not want to be negotiated first with us, it will be gini," added Annisa.

"Here, don't talk about this again, we'll wait for Dio to come home" Rico said.

"Yes, pah" said Arsyad.

Najwa who had heard their words was relieved. At least his opinion let Dio tell him who his lover is. Najwa can untangle his smile again, although there will be more obstacles in his relationship with Dio.

"Sister, Raffi knows what you feel, brother is patient, yes. This is the path that brother and Dio chose. I've been reminding you repeatedly, but you're still in your relationship." Raffi was suddenly behind Najwa, which gave Najwa a slight lift

"Huh .. Raffi, just surprise, you," said Najwa.

"I want to talk to brother, let's go to the balcony" Raffi said.

Najwa followed her up. Najwa knew that his sister would invite him to talk about Dio. Najwa sat down next to his sister.

"I don't know, Raf. This relationship will continue or not, then Abah and Mother agree or not. Dio insisted on talking about this relationship to everyone, Raf." Najwa explains everything to Raffi.

"Sister's relationship with Dio, yes cousin's relationship, can be continued, many scholars allow it, but here the problem is Abah and mother are married, the future will be different, it's difficult, brother," obviously Dio.

"Raff, I'd love to end it, but Dio, who doesn't want to, insists on continuing this relationship, Raff," Najwa said.

"The key is in you two, if you're sure, everything will be smooth, and if not, yes it is. Somehow the fate of the brother's relationship with Dio," explained Raffi.

"I'm just resigned, if indeed Abah forced Dio to marry Rania, what can I do, Raf," Najwa said with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, don't cry, brother tormented brother's heart too much, after loving Dio. What I see every day, is not the jovial Kak Najwa anymore, but the always sad Kak Najwa" said Raffi.

"Yes, it may be true that I have tortured my own heart, Raff. And, I find it hard to let go of all this. Surviving is always fear and worry, if I end it this heart will hurt, Raff," said Najwa.

"Better to end, brother. Big brother's future is still long, a lot of someone who might be better than Dio. And, the pain of ending that relationship, will be replaced by happiness in your life. Believe, brother. Big sister, smart woman, don't be weak Karana love, sister. Love not only uses the heart, but also uses logic, so that love brings happiness in our lives. Don't be blinded, brother. Raffi knows brother is tormented by brother's feelings." Raffi tries to advise his brother, so as not to fall too far in his relationship with Dio, who probably will not be able to unite.

"Come, Raff. Wait for Dio to come home, later that will be the determinant of the relationship between brother and Dio," said Najwa.

"Yes, Raffi just said it was best for my brother. If you want to be happy, end your relationship with Dio. If you want to be sad and make everyone disappointed, please continue with Dio" said Raffi.

Najwa just fell silent digesting all of Raffi's words. It was very difficult for Najwa to have a relationship with Dio. But, how else, Najwa's heart could not lie, she loved her cousin's sister very much.

"It's true too Raffi said. If I continue with Dio, maybe everyone will be hurt, especially Rania. But, if not, it was just me and Dio who would feel the pain. And, brother, I know you will definitely ban me with Dio. Because the mother's husband's brother, and the mother is Dio's biological mother," Najwa murmured.

"Why don't I think about it? God, I am so blinded by love. And I'm not getting any more to take it off. I should how? Should I end it? And will I keep this love?" Najwa was confused, and many questions were asked in Najwa's heart.

Raffi continued to look at Najwa who looked confused, because of his words. Raffi just doesn't want to, his family to be ravaged again, just like when Annisa was kicked out by his op. Raffi thinks there will be another incident, if Najwa and Dio remain to unite. There's gonna be one of them coming out of the house somewhere, whether it's Dio, or Najwa. Even the two will go together to continue their relationship without blessing.

"I don't want to, brother. Our families are separated again. I don't want it to happen again, just first when the mother was sent off opa, and no more things like this," said Raffi.

"Raf, give me some time, let Dio go home first, I'll talk to Dio about all of this" Najwa said.

Najwa and Raffi get off the balcony, they go straight into their rooms. The love problem of Najwa and Dio is getting weird, Najwa also does not want to hurt anyone. And, Najwa must be willing with the circumstances, if indeed Dio can not have.

^^^^^

Time kept turning, this was the day the Alfarizi family was waiting for, that Dio would come home. So was the day Najwa looked forward to. Because her lover will be home today. Rania is also very happy, she is going home today. Rania is not going to Singapore anymore, she now works at her father's company.

Rania was in Arsyad's house early in the morning. Yeah, he's gonna help Annisa prepare Dio's favorite meal. Najwa just shook his head to see his best friend like that.

"Ran, can you cook?"ask Shifa.

"Can you teach me, right, Mother?" ask Rania.

"Eh, what did you call that?" shifa asked with a frown.

"Mother, can Rania call you?" ask Rania again.

"Yes, honey, you can, later teach you to cook Dio's favorite," said Annisa.

"Thank you mother" said Rania happily.

"You're not going to Rania's office?" ask Najwa.

"No, today is special for Dio" he said, breaking his happy smile.

"Okay, I live in a boutique" said Najwa.

"Wah ... Abah's future son-in-law here apparently," Arsyad greeted Rania happily.

"Yes, dong. Kan Rania wants to cook specifically for Dio, Abah," said Rania happily.

"Whatwas? Abah's? Raffi didn't hear wrong?" ask Raffi.

"Emm yes, do I also call Aunt Annisa, mother, so may I call Om Arsyad, Abah?" ask Rania.

"Can, Honey. Yes already, ask to teach mother, Abah and Raffi want to go to the office first," said Arsyad.

Arsyad to Raffi's office. Raffi knows his brother's heart is not okay. Raffi embraces his brother to go outside and leave for the boutique only.

"Let's go, brother." Raffi pulled Najwa by the hand and embraced him to the outside.

"I know your heart, calm your heart, go to work, and think nothing of it. Surely Dio's going to see brother first, right?" raffi asked in a whisper.

"Yes, Dio is going to the boutique right away" Najwa said.

"Yes, don't be sad, you won Dio's heart, brother," Raffi said.

"Yes, I won Dio's heart, but I can't have his body, Raff," Najwa said.

"Don't think about it, focus on work, okay" Raffi said.

"Hmm." Najwa just muttered.

Arsyad had been waiting for Raffi for a long time, finally he approached Raffi and Najwa who were talking whispers.

"Raffi, it's been a long time, it's noon, son. What are you guys talking about, anyway? Wear whispers" said Arsyad.

"There's. Yeah, well, Raffi left first, brother. Najwa, be careful. Remember my message" said Raffi.

Najwa just nodded his head and got straight into his car. He went to the store in his own car. Najwa smiled bitterly, seeing Annisa close to Rania, especially Rania called Annisa mother's call and called Arsyad with Abah's call. Najwa is increasingly unsure of his relationship with Dio.

"Ah I don't know what my relationship with Dio will be like, I just go for it" Najwa murmured while driving her car.

^^^

During the day at the boutique Najwa was very happy to be in front of the people he loved. Who else if not Dio. Yes, Dio was already in Najwa's arms at the moment, and Najwa did not want to let go of his arms. They melt the hidden longing for approximately 2 years.

"Honey, I can't breathe" said Najwa.

"Sorry baby, I'm so happy, you don't feel sad anymore, I'll talk directly to your brother and mother, today as well" said Dio.

"Dio, there is Rania at home" said Najwa with a face that looks ashen.

"Rania?" ask Dio.

"Yes, Shifa told him, and now he's home, cooking with his mother, for you" Najwa said.

"Let's just, I don't care, the important thing is I'll say everything now." Dio said firmly and stared intensely at Najwa's beautiful face.

"I miss you, baby." Dio kissed Najwa's lips.

"Emm..Dio, don't be like this." Najwa takes off Dio's kiss.

"Why? Don't you usually like this, honey? said Dio.

"Dio, i…." Dio did not care what Najwa said, he kissed again Najwa's lips gently and meaningfully.

After a long time of yearning, and kissing for a long time, Dio hugged Najwa again and kissed Najwa on the head.

"Wome, yuk?" bring Najwa.

"We go first, and then we go home" said Dio.

"Alright, I'll put this flower in the vase first." Najwa arranged the roses from Dio in a vase.

Dio hugs Najwa from behind, as Najwa arranges a gift from him.

"Never leave me, Najwa" whispered Dio.

"Hmm .. Don't be like this, honey. Yes, I will not leave you" said Najwa.

"That's what I want, but I don't know, Dio," Najwa murmured.

Najwa turned his body towards Dio, and touched Dio's cheek. He was so happy that he could be in front of Dio again.

"Where are you going?" ask Najwa.

"To the park" Dio replied.

"Which park?" ask Najwa.

"Looked time? The garden behind our school used to be," Dio replied.

"remember that?" ask Najwa.

"I will always remember. Let's go now," Dio asked.

Najwa and Dio walk hand in hand out of the Najwa boutique. Najwa left his buttons on his personal assistant. Dio and Najwa get into Najwa's car. Previously Dio had told the house that it would be too late to go home, because he would meet his friend first with Najwa. Yeah, people at home know that Dio went back to Najwa's boutique first. Because Arsyad and Raffi are also busy not being able to pick him up. Annisa too, had to prepare a small party for her son who had just returned from Berlin. And, that was Dio's chance to go home with Najwa.
