THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 14 "Revealing the Truth" The Best Brother

Rania returns to her office after finishing her work with her father. His heart was still unstable, still thinking about the matchmaking. Rania does her car quickly to her office. And, as he was about to enter his office he saw the figure of a man he knew, standing firmly in the lobby of his office. The man stared intently at himself meaningfully.

Rania approached him, she ventured to greet him first. Rania slightly untangled a smile at the man.

"Hi, what's in my office?" rania asked with a smile on her face.

"Can we talk for a second? he said with his signature flat tone.

"Okay, let's just go to my room," Rania asked.

The man was still staring at the body of Rania who was already walking in front of him. Rania is getting further away, but the man has not yet stepped foot to follow Rania into his room.

"Dio, why are you still there? Rania turned her body when Dio did not follow her. Yes, that man is Dio.

Dio stepped out his foot following Rania into his room. Rania invites Dio into her room. Rania put her bag on a small desk next to her desk.

"Please sit down, Dio. What do you want to drink?" rania asked casually, though her heart was rumbling and a little scared because Dio seemed to be a little not okay.

"No need to make it easy, I'm just here to ask, is Om Reno talking about us?" ask Dio.

"You mean?" Rania asked Dio.

"No need to pretend, you're asking for this match, aren't you?" Dio asked as he sharpened his gaze on Rania.

"Who would want to be married to someone like you? Although this heart does love you, but I am more comfortable loving you in my silence, Dio. Because your words of love were once enough to strengthen my heart, until now," murmured Rania.

"I never asked for it, like not getting married, until asking for a match with you" said Rania with tightness in her chest.

Rania still looks good when in front of Dio who is cold. Though his heart ached, like a slashed dagger.

"Why should there be a match! I ask you once again, this matchmaking did you ask for it!" Dio again asked with a gaze full of anger, as if he did not accept the matchmaking he had just talked to his brother.

"Where do I know? I just want to refuse, because I deserve to be happy with someone else who can accept me, Dio!" Rania also raised her voice in front of Dio.

Rania is a little angry, because Dio thinks this matchmaking is Rania who asked. Rania rejects him, because she knows, Dio is not like before, now she can not love him anymore. There was not even clarity from her letter then until now, which was really sincere in expressing her heart to Rania.

"I make sure if this matchmaking happens, you will regret it, and you will suffer much more for her life!" dio's words this time really made Rania's heart melt. Until he could no longer feel pain.

Rania tried to conclude her smile in the middle of a broken heart was not in the form of. Rania took a deep breath, to start talking to Dio. He exhaled slowly, and tried to regulate his calmness by collecting the broken heart fragments earlier.

"Okay, it's up to you, I just follow what my parents want, because I don't want to get married either. Look, I'm fighting for what's in my grasp. Yes, this company. And, if that happens, I don't care how much you'll ruin my life, Dio. For me, marrying you, just to see my mom and dad happy. That's more than enough" explained Rania by holding back the tears in her eyes.

It was very painful for Rania. He who loves Dio, must pretend not to love him at all. He tried to throw away that love from a long time ago, the more he wanted to throw it away, the more pain lodged in his heart. And, he let that love for Dio continue to linger in his heart.

Indeed, Rania has the determination to develop her company that she founded with her efforts. With his own sweat without help from his father or mother. He only asked his father for solutions if he was having problems in his business. He did not ask for material assistance with his father. Even though he was born as an only child who had a myriad of treasures for him to have fun like a woman of his age.

By saving the love of Dio, she becomes a brave woman, a woman who is firm with her stance and loves only one man in her life, namely Dio. He had always tried to throw away the love for Dio for many years, but it could not. When he wanted to throw away that love, his work became a victim of the oppression of his heart. And, finally he remains determined to keep the love itself until now.

"Talk well with Om Arsyad, if you already have a lover, and ask Om Arsyad to approve your relationship. Have you, kellar? Why blame me?" asked Rania with great emphasis.

"I'm going home" said Dio, stepping out of Rania's room.

"Please" said Rania.

After Dio left Rania's room. Rania sat on the sofa leaning her head on the sofa. He doesn't know, actually Dio has a lover or not, because he balked at his match with her. Rania also did not understand why Dio alleged that this matchmaking was her request. Rania was dizzy thinking this, she also did not want to marry in this way.

^^^^^

That night, Dio ventured to reveal to everyone that he loved Najwa. Arsyad also wants to invite Dio tonight to talk about his match with Rania. All were seen already sitting in the middle room after praying Isya. Najwa also went there with Raffi. Except Arkan, he's out with his friend for futsal.

Najwa knew it would either be about him or it would be about Dio and Rania's match. The unpleasant feeling from earlier perched in Najwa's heart, as Arsyad intensely stared at him and Dio who were sitting side by side.

"What do you want to talk about, Dio?" ask Arsyad.

"Change, earlier Dio apologized. Maybe Dio is a little against Abah's desire to match Dio with Rania, as you said to Dio this afternoon," Dio said nervously.

"Then? Do you have a lover, so you don't want to be betrothed to Rania?"ask Arsyad.

"Change, actually Dio already has a lover, Dio loves him very much. Dio wanted to marry her, but whether my brother, mother, and opa approved or not" Dio replied.

"True, Syad, don't betroth Dio and Rania, let them choose their own soul mate" Rico said.

"Yes, if she had a boyfriend, I wouldn't have arranged for her" Arsyad said. "Who's your girlfriend, son?" ask Arsyad.

"Change, mother, opa, actually Dio all this time, loved Najwa. And, Dio has long been in a relationship with Najwa from High School. Forgive Dio, forgive Dio who can't love another woman besides Najwa, Abah's daughter, and her cousin Dio's sister." Arsyad and Annisa only wiped away her tears that had filled her eyes.

Annisa knew, Dio's heart was currently broken. Especially Najwa. They were both sobbing with this situation. Their love is strong, which makes Annisa afraid, they can't spare each other.

"You're wrong Dio, you guys aren't mahram, you could be married. However, Najwa's position here is the oldest. Sorry whenever opa does not approve of your relationship. It's not that opa doesn't love you guys, but it's a matter of family genealogy, son. Najwa is the oldest, and look, your parents are already a married couple. If you get married, Abah and Mama will make a reservation. That can't happen at all, son. Forgive opa. Pardon opa, if Dio wants to be angry with opa again like he was. Opa will accept, son." Rico said holding back his tears that came out of the corner of his eyes.

Rico knows, they love each other. Love comes suddenly without choosing a place. Rico knew the feelings of his two grandchildren.

"Sorry Dio, opa can't. This can't happen to our family" Rico said.

"Mother, brother, do you not approve of it either?" dio asked his brother and his mother.

Najwa was silent with tears in his eyes, and the occasional sound of sobs filled the vast central space.

"Son, you've known about your relationship since you went to Berlin, and you've often seen you alone in the back garden. Abah doesn't blame love, son. Abah knows how you feel. But, we're one family. Abah and the mother were married, and did Abah have to marry Abah's daughter to Abah's wife's daughter to her husband first? What about the status of Abah and mother later? Sorry Abah didn't approve of your relationship." With a heavy heart Arshad says it all. Though her heart was tight to see her two children suffering from the wrong love. She doesn't want her children to have the wrong love.

"Mother, our blessing, mother," Dio pinta told Annisa.

"Sorry, sweetheart. Mother loves you, and mother cannot if you continue this wrong love." Annisa just answered like that.

Dio knew, this was the answer they would give when revealing this all. Dio doesn't know what else to do. He is also not a child who likes to oppose both his parents. If both of his parents said no, Dio could only obey him.

Najwa is sobbing, dashed is hope he is coupled with the man he loves. Najwa set up her sobs and reorganized the turmoil in her chest. He tried to bring out what was in his heart.

"Change, mother, and opa, forgive Najwa who also loved Dio so much. But, what is the use of this love without the blessing of abah, mother, and opa. Because the blessing of God has the blessing of parents. And, Najwa willingly took Dio off for another woman. Let this love and pain Najwa keep to himself, as long as it doesn't hurt my brother, mother, and opa." I don't know why Najwa could talk like that.

"No, Najwa. I can't, we'll marry with or without their blessing." Dio subconsciously said so.

"No, Dio. I can't get married without their blessing. Restu abah, mother, and opa are the main things" said Najwa.

"I love you Najwa, I can't marry anyone but you, let alone Rania, who is your best friend, Najwa" Dio said.

"I love you too, Dio, but this is the wrong love, I can't. You should be able to marry another woman, with Rania or not with Rania. I can't oppose Abah, mother, and opa. Dio, I'm sorry." Najwa felt pain saying that. He had no choice but to obey what his parents said and his opinion.

"Well, if you want it that way. That's what you want, right? Okay, I'm getting married to Rania. I accepted this match, Abah. This is what my daughter wanted. Speed up my marriage to Rania, Abah. The free time I maintain this relationship will also be in vain" Dio said with a sharp look at Najwa.

"Dio, don't be rash to make a decision. If you don't want to marry Rania. We are not forcing either. Please find another woman, not your cousin, let alone Najwa's oldest position, son." Arsyad said with a pressing tone.

"This is not the desire of my mother and brother to match me with Rania? When Dio accepted, Abah was like that. Very funny, Abah," said Dio.

"Please your heart first, Dio. Don't make decisions when things are like this" Rico said.

"This is the right decision. I accept this match, please Abah and Om Reno set our wedding date as soon as possible. This is Dio's decision" Dio said, looking back at Najwa's face with a cold look.

Dio left the middle room and entered his room. She did not expect to say that and accepted her betrothal to Rania. This was all because he was disappointed with Najwa who refused to maintain his relationship.

"I know, after all this is the wrong love. But why is Najwa so easy to get me to marry another woman, and she doesn't even want to fight for her relationship with me?" Dio murmured inwardly, he did not understand why this would be the case. Moreover, he said to accept his match with Rania.

"Najvas….! I can't be like this, Najwa…!" Dio screamed in his room, he swept his car keys and got out, whether he was going anywhere. What is clear is that he was very disappointed, Najwa resigned and did not want to fight for his relationship.

"Where are you going, Dio?" ask Rico.

"Find the wind, opa." Dio replied while looking at Najwa and the others who were still in the living room.

"Oh, yes, Abah. Tell Om Reno, Dio agrees to this match. And, please quickly determine the wedding date of Dio and Rania. Dio's out for a bit" Dio told Arsyad.

"Wait, I'll talk to you for a second, can I come with you?" arsyad Pinta.

"Please, Dio wait in the car" Dio said.

Dio walked forward and got into his car. Arshad bids Annisa and her papa go with Dio and speaks heart to Dio.

Arsyad got into Dio's car. Dio drove his car at a moderate speed. Arsyad began his conversation with Dio.

"It doesn't want you to marry Rania because of a decision in this way, Dio," Arsyad said.

Dio took his breath heavily before answering his brother's words.

"Sorry Abah, this is Dio's decision. Dio had talked to Rania too this afternoon. And, for what Dio is looking for another woman, after all and mother has prepared it for, Dio. Dio loves Najwa very much, Abah. Pardon Dio, but Dio also does not want to oppose Abah and mother. Dio accepted this match Abah," said Dio.

"Change don't want to, this is a decision with compulsion. Look for another woman, as long as not Najwa. Najwa's position is your brother, son. And, sorry Abah just told me. You're a nurse with Najwa. When your parents have to be close to their relationship, you live in Abah's house with Shifa. And your buddies breastfeed you and Shifa when you are thirsty. That's why I forbid you to marry Najwa, no matter how strong your love, Abah still opposes her. Forgive Abah, Son. Forgive abah. If you were never in your cultivation, maybe Abah would have approved of your relationship. Already, Abah will not force you to accept your matchmaking with Rania. Please find another woman, son. Abah will not force. But don't marry Najwa. Abah please, that's." Arshad explained what really happened. It was all because Almira bullied Dio when she was a baby. And that is what makes Arshad disapprove of them being united.

"If you don't believe, Abah has evidence of it when your slave suckled you, Abah took pictures of your budhemu first, when your buddha was in a state of confusion taking care of you, Najwa, and Shifa. When your bundle is in a business relationship all day. And Abah also photographed you breastfeeding your bud. Opa and Oma also watched, Son," explained Arsyad.

"Dio believes, and Dio accepts an arranged marriage with Rania, Abah," Dio said.

"No, Abah knows you have to" replied Arsyad.

"Here, it's Dio's decision, Dio accepted this match," Dio said.

"Well, Abah will talk about this to Om Reno. Forgive Abah once again, son. You can be vengeful and angry with Abah, Dio. Because this is not allowed in religion, if one nurse is married," said Arsyad.

"Yes, Dio knows that. Dio was not angry with Abah. Even though it hurts, Abah. Forgive Dio too, for loving your daughter." Dio stopped his car and hugged Arsyad.

Dio cried until a hiccup in his brother's arms. His heart was broken once accepting this bitter reality. He must be willing to let go of the woman he loves. And, she accepted her match with Rania. For not wanting to disappoint the heart of my brother and his mother.
