THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 7 "Can't Take You Off" The Best Brother

Dio drives his car away from the hotel where Rania meets her Client. Actually today he had to go with Najwa. However, Dio could not refute his brother's orders this morning. And he had to obey everything his brother ordered, including taking Rania.

Dio contacts Najwa, asking where he is now. Dio really felt guilty, because he had already made an appointment with Najwa from yesterday. Dio has promised to take Najwa to the orphanage. As usual, he had a storytelling class there. It was already part of Najwa's daily activities.

Dio drove his car quickly to the orphanage where Najwa was. Najwa had earlier replied to Dio's message that he was in an orphanage. So, Dio immediately drove his car to the orphanage.

"Just be hard today" muttered Dio as he increased the speed of his car.

Lucky streets today a little relieved, not solid as usual. So he could drive his car fast. It didn't take long, Dio arrived in front of the orphanage Najwa had told him about.

Dio got out of his car, he walked over to a bunch of little kids sitting in a circle, and in the middle of it was a beautiful woman who was displaying hand puppets, then soft and graceful storytelling. Who else if not Najwa, his lover. The cousin who has now become her lover.

Dio walked slowly closer to a group of children who were enthusiastic about hearing Najwa storytelling. Dio sat on a bench not far from Najwa. He looked from a distance, and listened to Najwa as he told a story. Every now and then Najwa looks at her and throws a sweet smile at her.

"That is so beautiful of Your creation, Lord. Can I have it? I really love him" muttered Dio while watching Najwa from afar.

Najwa is done storytelling, children scatter to play in the park, they play what they like. Najwa walked towards the bench where Dio was sitting there. He walked towards Dio so gracefully. The woman with a soft and graceful speech now linked her heart with her own cousin sister.

"Dio, how did you get here?" najwa asked while sitting next to Dio.

"Anything for you I can, baby," said Dio, clasping Najwa's hand.

"Basic, daylight is already your dreadlocks." Najwa said with a pinch of Dio's hand, who was holding his hand.

"I'm not dreadful, it's reality, baby." Dio kissed Najwa's hand. It was his custom, kissing Najwa's hand or forehead when meeting. Even if it's outside.

"Then Rania?" ask Najwa.

"Had arrived at the hotel. I'm here, what do I want there," Dio replied with a frown.

"Don't be like that, anyway she …"

"Stop! Don't keep going. I know what you want to say" said Dio, who stopped Najwa's words.

"Dio, there's no way we can fight Abah said, you can't either, right?" Najwa.

"I don't know either, I have to say right now, that I want to marry you, Najwa. I couldn't, the more time I had, the more Abah brought me closer to Rania. I can't do that." Dio took out the contents in his heart.

He wanted to talk to his brother about Najwa. But, somehow his brother always avoids when Dio will talk about Najwa.

"You are patient, you still have a new project he said, and now you are busy with his new restaurant. For some reason now you are in the spirit of opening a culinary business with Shita's aunt," said Najwa gave understanding to Dio.

"But, baby, I also have to quickly convey all this, anyway we will go home later to talk to Abah and mother. It has to." Dio tells Najwa to tell Abah and his mother.

"Don't add to Abah's burden first, Abah and mother are bothering to prepare Shifa's wedding as well, Dio. Later after Shifa gets married, we talk" said Najwa.

"Alright, I'm following you" said Dio.

"You see, lately, Abah and Mama have been pushing me and you too much, but with Raffi, Arkan, and Shifa, they're just normal, why just me and you? Why am I being forced like this, Najwa?" Dio asks Najwa, about his brother whose attitude has been different lately, not as usual.

"Yes, I feel that too, Dio. Abah and mother seem to know we have a special relationship" replied Najwa.

"But, I think, because maybe Abah is too busy with Shifa's wedding. From yesterday I was still arguing about the place for Shifa's wedding reception. Shifa wants to be in the hotel ballroom, while Abah and mother want to be at home, after all the spacious house, want to accommodate the crowd can also. All will depend on the WO, good or not, can or does not juggle Abah's house so magnificent" said Najwa.

"It could be like that" Dio said.

"Eat him you are patient, do not add to the burden of your mind and mother first, pity them. Was busy with Shifa's wedding which was nothing all of a sudden." Najwa tries to give Dio some understanding.

Najwa said goodbye to the caretaker and the children of the home to go home. Because today Najwa has to go to the halfway house for children with cancer. He will also fill the fairy tale there. It was all because of the request of his friend, who became a doctor.

"Dio, I want to go to the halfway house to meet Wulan," said Najwa.

"I'm taking you, huh?"ask Dio.

"I brought Dio's car" replied Najwa.

"Yes, I followed behind your car" Dio said.

"Darling, then Rania?" ask Najwa.

"Let's not think about him. I feel guilty for you, not taking you, ", Dio said.

"Have not discussed it, let's go" asked Najwa.

Najwa got in his car. He was eager to end it all with Dio. But it was his heart that could not accept it. He wants his relationship with Dio to get to the wedding. But, it was all impossible, there was no way Dio and himself could get married. It is possible, if your brother and his mother are not married.

"I got dizzy thinking about my relationship with Dio going forward. If I end, it hurts so much this heart. I can't love another man but him" Najwa murmured.

Najwa arrived in front of Wulan's halfway house. Friends during High School who are now Doctors. Wulan knew that Najwa was good at storytelling, and he wanted Najwa to tell stories in his halfway house to comfort and support children who had to fight the malignant disease.

"Let's go, baby, let's go in" Najwa asked.

Dio entered the halfway house with Najwa, he accompanied Najwa who was storytelling with children in the halfway house. They were very happy to hear Najwa telling stories. Dio knew when Najwa's heart was really upset. But, in front of the children she was able to unravel her sweet smile, and pretend to be happy in front of all of them.

"Najwa, that smile never changes, it's still the same as it used to be, when I first saw that sweet smile of yours," Dio murmured while watching Najwa.

Najwa had finished storytelling, he played for a while with the children who were at the halfway house. Najwa is very passionate about them all. They were really excited to survive the pain. Keep the spirit to live and fight the disease.

"O Allah, they are great children. Being able to hide his pain with a carefree laugh, in order to make their parents stay strong to face him being gnawed by the malignant disease. Me being? I'm weak right now, just because of a man. I feel so ashamed before You, O God, and I am ashamed, before those who can still smile because of pain they do not know, can be healed or not," muttered Najwa while looking at them with a sad look.

Najwa said goodbye to Wulan and the children in the halfway house. The clock is at 3pm. And, Dio still invited Najwa to talk in Najwa's car.

"Darling," call Dio.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ask Najwa.

"It's too late to pick up Rania" she replied.

"Don't look at Rania, look at Abah and Om Reno, honey. It's 3 o'clock it's impossible that Rania hasn't finished yet" Najwa said.

"Najwa, I can't if they match me" Dio said.

"Dio, what can I do if it's like that later" Najwa said.

"I can't, honey. Please .. we leave here, we get married, with or without the blessing of our parents" Dio said.

"Dio, I can't fight Abah, I can't do that, Dio" Najwa said.

"Please .. I don't want to, there's another woman besides you, Najwa."

"Then what about me? I'm like that too, but if it's my way, what can I do, Dio" said Najwa.

Dio gently rubbed Najwa's cheek, he stared inside Najwa's face. They looked at each other with sad eyes. Dio really did not want any other woman besides Najwa, and vice versa. Najwa also did not want any other man besides Dio. Dio kissed Najwa's lips softly and deeply. Their tongues clashed feeling each puff of their breath increasingly clear in their ears. So did the gentle sophistication of the link of their lips echo in the car. Dio who could not resist his lust, made Najwa a little surprised because Dio managed to take off one by one the buttons of Najwa's clothes and his hands managed to get into his clothes, and touch what Dio shouldn't touch.

"Dio stop this!" Najwa brushed off Dio's rather rude hand which had already infiltrated Najwa's shirt and touched Najwa's sensitive part by playing his finger.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't keep this going on Najwa. I can't" Dio said in a hoarse voice.

Dio doesn't know why his control can be taken off, when he is with Najwa and when they discuss about his matchmaking with Rania. He seemed to want to have Najwa completely before he was really in a match with Rania.

"You shouldn't be doing this, Dio! Out!" Najwa drove Dio out of his car with tears.

Najwa's cry grew increasingly broken, she was really afraid of not being able to let go of Dio for another woman if this continued.

"Najwa, don't cry, forgive me, don't cry." Dio hugged Najwa. Najwa could only cry in Dio's arms until it was as hot as possible.

"Dio, I can't, I can't keep going, the more you are like that, the more I can't let you go with another woman" Najwa said sobbing and sobbing.

"Until now, I will never love another woman and have another woman except you, Najwa. I promise," said Dio firmly.

"Although Abah and mother forced you to marry Rania?"vkanya Najwa's.

"Yes, I will love you." Dio tightened his embrace on Najwa and calmed Najwa down.

"I'm sorry for my treatment, Najwa" Dio said.

Najwa only nodded in Dio's arms and cried with Isaac.

"Dio, I can't fight Abah, whatever Abah's decision will be, I accept" Najwa murmured.

"Dio, it's almost 4 o'clock you didn't pick up Rania?" ask Najwa.

"Huh ... was very troublesome for him," said Dio in annoyance.

"There pick up Rania, she must be waiting for you" said Najwa.

"Yes, you don't cry, I love you. Later that night wait for me in the back garden, I want to talk" Dio said.

"Yes I'll see you tonight, you be careful, don't speed. Love you too" said Najwa.

Dio kisses Najwa's forehead and lips before getting out of Najwa's car and moves into his car to pick up Rania.
