THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 5 "Raffi's Anxiety" The Best Brother

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.

^^^^^

They got out of their car after arriving at a beautiful park. The park is located right behind the multi-storey building, where they used to study during High School. Yes, the most beautiful time for them, and the one that makes them cross the wrong path, loving their fellow brothers, obviously this relationship is the wrong relationship.

Dio clasped Najwa's hand towards the empty bench in front of the park and the artificial lake. The green lake water and colorful flowers make the atmosphere delicious and fresh to look at. Dio rested Najwa's head on his shoulder and rubbed it affectionately.

Dio actually knew what his brother was up to with his father Rania. Dio knew this would happen, someday there would be an arranged marriage between him and Rania. Dio tells Najwa to cover something inside him. Because, he always talked about Rania, always talking about Rania who really loved him.

"Najwa, is there something you're hiding from me?" ask Dio.

"No, what am I hiding?" Najwa asked Najwa.

"On Rania?" ask Dio again.

"Rania? What am I hiding about Rania" Najwa replied.

"Najwa, I know, Rania was expecting me a lot long time ago. But, I just consider him a friend, nothing more than that" Dio said.

"Yes, I know that, Dio." Najwa recalled again the words of his brother who would match Dio and Najwa.

"Go home, yuk," asked Najwa.

"I still want to be with you here" Dio replied.

"It's almost past lunch, Dio. Pity the mother who has cooked your favorite food and waited for you long to return home," said Najwa.

"The Rania cook, right?"ask Dio.

"You know?" Najwa asked Dio.

"Yes, Rania chatted with me," Dio replied.

Dio turned Najwa's face to himself, and Dio sat him down with his face to Najwa. He raised the face of Najwa who had just looked down. Dio looked at Najwa's very sad face.

"Your face these days is always sad, like there is no passion for smiling" Dio said, rubbing Najwa's cheek.

"That's because I miss you, Dio," Najwa said, unraveling her smile.

"Hindu? Why should this be so nice, if it's just a longing?" dio.

"Because missing you it hurts, Dio. Only able to feel your presence in the shadows, sometimes even in a dream looks faint," replied Najwa.

"Did that hurt miss me, Nawja?" Dio asked again and only a nod of the head Najwa gave in response.

"Pupper is sad in your face, I'm here, you don't have to miss me anymore, Najwa. I'm around you again, starting today." Dio kissed Najwa's forehead.

Najwa could not say anything, only the tears that Najwa gave as an expression of fear that had spread in him. Najwa knows, this is his last time in a relationship with Dio. He could not possibly oppose what his brother said.

"Why crying? You're such a cry." Dio rubbed Najwa's tears that had flowed down Najwa's cheeks.

Dio kissed the soft lips of Najwa who from earlier silenced can not say anything. They were swept away in that atmosphere. For a long time Dio kissed Najwa's lips, letting go of the longing that had mounted within him.

"I love you, Najwa," Dio said on the sidelines.

"Hmmmm.I love you too Dio," replied Najwa.

"Maybe this is the last time you kissed me, Dio. And, this is the last time I hold you, because you will belong to another woman, we will not be with Dio" Najwa murmured

Najwa further compensates for Dio's deepening kiss. Until he was unaware, what he did with Dio was a very fatal mistake. They forgot the sins between them. They still clenched their lips that refused to let go. Dio regained consciousness as Najwa brushed off his hand which began to touch what he should not have touched.

"Dio, don't be like this…!" Najwa brushed off Dio's hand, which was clinging and holding his chest hard.

"Sorry, Najwa. I'm sorry" Dio said, hugging Najwa.

"Come, go home, don't repeat like that again, Dio." Najwa said with tears.

"Yes sorry, don't cry, I'm sorry." Dio wiped away Najwa's tears.

Dio clasped Najwa's hand and walked to the car to get home. They shared the story in the car, for 2 years did not meet. Sometimes they also joked and Dio remained romantic with Najwa.

At Arsyad's house, all gathered waiting for the arrival of Dio who had not come, they called Dio and Najwa, but there was no answer from Dio or Najwa. Raffi, who was a little worried that his brother would do such a thing, looked anxious and contacted Najwa constantly.

"Sister Najwa, pick up dong, what's with Dio, don't worry me, they're not as worried as I am, brother. Because only I know of my brother's forbidden relationship with Dio," Raffi muttered while continuously calling Najwa.

There was no response from Najwa or Dio. Raffi is increasingly worried that they are doing things out of their control. Raffi knows that forbidden love will inevitably plunge them into things they should not do.

"Don't you do anything you shouldn't do, Najwa. It does not solve a problem, it will only make things worse. You are from a good and beautiful family. Do not because of selfishness and love, you will tarnish the good name of our family. Remember that, brother. Who is our Abah and our opa." Raffi who was furious with his brother sent such a message to his brother.

"Raf, have you contacted them?"ask Arsyad.

"Already, abah. They are on the road" Raffi told a lie.

"Oh Allah, because of them I lied with Abah" Raffi murmured.

Soon Dio and Najwa arrived. Raffi breathed a sigh of relief, for it was not in vain that he lied with his brother. Dio got out of the car, Najwa got out of the car first. They behave like brothers again in front of their families.

"Mother.." Dio immediately hugged Annisa and kissed her many times, Dio took off her longing on Annisa.

"Dio.." Shifa pulled Dio's body from her mother and Dio immediately hugged her twin brother.

"Sir Shifa, the bride-to-be's pie," ledek Dio while hugging and kissing Shifa.

Shifa will be proposed next week by Fattah. Finally Shifa agreed to immediately applied Fattah, he thought why delay worship, if possible and ready to be done immediately.

"Hmmm..Ja. Pray for brother, may Brother Fattah next week be proposed to brother," said Shifa.

"That's for sure, baby. Pray for me too to catch up quickly," Dio said, addressing Shifa.

"Definitely, Do'a is the best sister for you" Shifa said.

"Actually, I don't agree that you are in a match with Rania, but how else, Abah's decision seems to be insecure" Shifa muttered with a hug to Dio.

Dio hugs Arsyad after hugging Shifa and her mother, also hugging Rico and Raffi. They were all gathered, only 1 that Dio had not greeted, namely Rania. Dio knew Rania's whereabouts, but he was reluctant to greet her. Finally, he greeted Rania.

"Hai Ran," Dio said.

"Hi Dio," Rania replied rather nervously.

Either way he was nervous with Dio, not as usual. He was really awkward greeting Dio, probably because Dio was too cold of his attitude with Rania.

"Come, come in, mother Rania has cooked your antics, Dio," said Arsyad.

"OK I'll taste, your cooking, right you can cook, Rania?" ask Dio.

"Emmm.diajari mother," answered Rania.

"Mother?" dio asked with a frown

"I mean Aunt Nisa, Dio. I'm sorry for calling you, so get used to it this afternoon" replied Rania.

"Oh.I guess," said Dio as he put his foot inside.

Najwa sees Rania's closeness with her brother and her mother, making Najwa's heart a little not okay. But, let it be, he brushed off that taste. Najwa calls Mas Joko to drop Dio's suitcase from the car and bring it into his room.

They enjoyed the food Annisa had prepared. Dio really misses the cuisine of his mother, for about 2 years did not eat the cuisine of his mother.

"It's delicious, mother," said Dio as he chewed his food.

"Don't be nervous eating it, it will choke" Annisa said.

After enjoying the food, they all relaxed in the living room, joking as usual. Dio sat next to Najwa, and next to Najwa was Rania. As usual Dio thinks Najwa is like a big brother in front of them all, but not Raffi. Raffi who already knew their relationship he saw their closeness was not a brother anymore, but a couple.

"Ran, this is so good I swear, can you make this?" najwa asked in disbelief

"Yes, I've been taught my mother to bake cakes, Najwa. Is this really delicious?"ask Rania.

"Yes, it's delicious, just try to taste it," said Najwa.

"I don't really like cake, I just like to make it, Najwa" Rania said.

"Well, you're a habit, you like to make things, but you don't like it, you're silly" Shifa said.

"Well, you know for yourself, right. Yeah, I tried what my cake tasted like." Rania tasted her cake.

Najwa was unceasingly chewing on the cake that Rania made. He continued to enjoy the cake in the jar.

"Eat on." Dio took the cake with his mouth that Najwa had just picked up and was about to eat it.

"Dio…! Your habits! Take yourself dong," said Najwa.

"I'm lazy to take it, he wants it taken" said Dio.

"Don't argue, take it again, Sister Najwa" Dio said.

"Did, ranting," said Najwa.

"Yes, stingy you" said Dio somewhat annoyed.

Najwa knew, Dio just wanted to be fed by Najwa, Najwa immediately took the cake.

"It." Najwa gave Dio the cake.

"Let's…." Dio opened his mouth and Najwa greeted him with a slight annoyance.

"There are you, ah. Don't make them all suspicious, Dio," Najwa murmured.

Dio suddenly resuscitated his head in Najwa's lap. Najwa was shocked by Dio's actions like that.

"Again eat even fall," said Najwa.

"It's a habit, son," Shifa said.

"Boat again, brother." Dio opens his mouth and Najwa feeds Dio again.

Najwa lets Dio sleep on his lap by playing his cell phone. Najwa is busy chatting with Rania and Shifa. Rania was a little surprised by the closeness of Dio and Najwa who were like lovers.

"They were very close, like lovers," muttered Rania while watching Dio's hand hold Najwa's hand and put it on his chest.

Dio doesn't care about everything. After all, everyone is busy with their own conversations. Rania saw the closeness of Dio and Najwa feeling tightness in her chest. Rania came home because it was getting late, and had received a message from her father.

"Change, mother, opa, Rania go home first" said Rania.

"You want to get Dio?"ask Arsyad.

"Change, Dio wants to rest, just look, I'll just darintadi rabahan gini, tired, Abah," said Dio. Indeed Dio a little, so from earlier the fall on the lap of Najwa.

"Rania took a taxi, Abah, Dio took a break" said Rania.

"Yes Abah has ordered a taxi" said Arsyad .

"Rania has a message, Abah," replied Rania.

Soon the taxi that Rania ordered came. Rania left and came home with an uncertain feeling. He still imagined the closeness of Najwa and Dio.

"It was very crowded to see Najwa who was very close to Dio. Like a couple taking off their misses. They are not siblings, it's natural that I think like this. And, that closeness I've seen since High School" Rania murmured.

No tears Rania dripped just so wet her cheeks. He knows Dio never liked him, but Rania loved him so much that she rejected Evan, a wealthy young businessman from Singapore. For the sake of getting a piece of Dio's heart, he was willing to reject Evan's love that was so sincere to him.

^^^^^

It's been 3 days Dio at home, every day Dio always shuttle Najwa when Najwa to the boutique. They always go to work together which makes Raffi so happy to see their closeness that is becoming more and more. Raffi stopped his older brother who had just walked out of his room.

"Son Najwa wants to go with Dio again?" ask Raffi.

"Yes, who else, he doesn't want to use his own car" replied Najwa.

"Sister, don't be that way, I'm afraid you're hurt" Raffi said.

"Hmm.I'm the one with the heartache, Raff. Not you" replied Najwa.

"You who are heartbroken, I also feel, sis." Raffi tries to talk carefully with his brother so as not to get too close to Dio. Because Raffi knows, after Shifa in Fattah's room, they will soon match Dio with Rania.

"Raff, I know, I won't be able to unite with Dio. Abah is going to get Rania and Dio together soon, Raff. I just want to feel my last moments with Dio, Raffi. I hope you understand" said Najwa.

"Yes, I know that, brother. I'm just messaging with brother, take care of brother, don't let brother sacrifice everything for Dio. And please, don't be blind for love. Just give brother's heart, let brother's heart hurt, as long as brother's body does not hurt too. Sis, as well as women, is the one who can maintain his honor," said Raffi.

"You think, brother gave it all up for Dio? Brother also realized that, Raffi. Big brother couldn't possibly close the eyes of the arena all. Brother realizes this is wrong, brother wrongly loves cousin sister brother himself. Raf, believe with brother, brother can take care of all this" said Najwa.

"I keep the promise of my brother. Don't make Abah, opa, and mommy disappointed because of brother and Dio. You know what our family is like, right? No one has dated so far, except for brother and Dio. I know what Dio is like, brother. And I, as a sister, have a right to worry about my brother. Because I'm a brother, brother." Raffi is getting bolder, challenging his occasional relationship with Dio.

"I don't want to argue with you, Raff." Najwa walks out to meet Dio who is about to leave for the office.

"Sir Najwa, I'm not even sure what's on my mind. I love Najwa. Please brother, let go of Dio, I don't want brother to fall into a sinful abyss." Raffi clapped his hands in front of his room. It felt like he wanted to hit the wall in front of him, seeing his brother who was increasingly desperate to connect with Dio.

^^^^^

That night at Arshad's house. They gathered in the middle runag as usual. Dio sat down beside his brother. He'll tell his brother something.

"Change, Dio will be touring tomorrow" said Dio.

"Who?" ask Arsyad.

"Friendly habit, is Abah the same mother wants to come?" ask Dio.

"Don't want ah, tired of touring, take Raffi, Shifa, or Najwa" said Arsyad.

"Come on Abah, come along" Annisa asked.

"Tomorrow I want to ride with Reno" said Arsyad..

"Well, Abah." Annisa sulks at her husband who does not want to be invited to touring.

"Darling, tomorrow we'll just ride a bike, Anna's coming, too" Arsyad said.

"Father will come too" said Rico.

"Well, no one wants to be invited touring, is the mother who is touring with me?"ask Dio.

"No, Abah did not come, really," Annisa refused.

"Sister Raffi, go yuk?" bring Raffi.

"I want to send Shifa to the reading garden. Tomorrow there's an event there" Raffi refused.

"Day say it, want to be alone with Kak Najwa, use our invite-to-tax event" muttered Raffi.

"Take Rania, there." Arsyad suggested taking Rania.

Dio tau Rania tomorrow there's a job he can't stay in. Because tomorrow he has to go out of town to see his client for 2 days. Dio knew, since Rania had just paid off with Dio today was going to leave for out of town to meet the client for 2 days.

"Rania is out of town, Abah. Otherwise I've invited him" said Dio.

"How do you know?" asked Najwa in a slightly jealous tone.

"Surely she's jealous" murmured Dio.

"Yes, I know, because he just chatted" Dio replied.

"Oh.." replied Najwa.

"The romance is jealous," muttered Raffi looking at Najwa's face that is not good at this time.

"Sister, join the tour tomorrow, huh?"pinta Dio on Najwa.

"Hmmm..can," replied Najwa.

"Indeed Goddess Fortuna always sided with them to launch her act of dating," muttered Raffi.

"OK," said Dio.

"Are you careful tomorrow, stay or not?"ask Arsyad.

"Don't know Abah, I want to go straight home, if for example the conditions that force us to stay overnight," replied Dio.

"Where is the route going?"ask Arsyad.

"Friends anyway, ask Ungaran, Abah, but it looks like you, and it needs lodging, too," replied Dio.

"Yes, go anywhere, the important thing is to be careful" said Arsyad.

"Don't go far, son," said Annisa.

"Yes mother" replied Dio.

"Denger tuh, don't go far," added Raffi.

"Yes, yes" said Dio.

"Watch, if they stay over, my brother will how? I know, they're alone, not with their friends. I have to how is this?" raffi gumam.

Dio to his room prepares the equipment for touring, so does Najwa. Finally Dio can take him to Touring alone with Najwa tomorrow morning. Raffi was getting more agitated at the thought of his older brother getting closer to Dio.
