THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 28 "A Slap" The Best Brother

Rania is still in the dining room. He sat down and placed his hand on the dining table holding his glass. This morning is still visible in the afternoon, after fulfilling her obligation of morning prayers, Rania chose not to sleep anymore. He went to the kitchen to fetch water and sat down on the chair that was in the dining room.

"I'd better go outside, find some vegetables to cook. What I want to eat, in the refrigerator is still empty there is nothing" muttered Rania.

Rania opened the front door. The cold did not make him afraid to go out to the traditional market not far from his home. Rania breathed in the fresh morning air which made her mind calm. The smell of dew was still in Rania's nasal cavity. Rania crossed the still slightly deserted road. The house that Dio bought was not elite housing or housing in general.

Dio chose a home away from the hustle of the city. The right left side of his house was still a vast wasteland. The road in front of Dio's house is also not a road through public transportation or taxis. You have to walk about 200 meters to get to the highway.

Rania takes a taxi to the traditional market. He paid no heed to Dio who was still sleeping. After all, Dio himself asked not to interfere with his privacy. However, Rania was aware, Rania was now a wife. She was also obliged to prepare breakfast for her husband even though he never thought he existed.

"Oh my God, am I strong with all this?" rania's inner self with tears.

^^^^

At 07:30 Dio just came out of his room. Rania who had finished cooking from earlier did not dare to wake Dio up, she preferred to wait for him while checking the email on her phone from her personal assistant in the office.

"Ran, is this all you're cooking?" ask Dio.

"No, Dewi Nawang Wulan is cooking" replied Rania.

"Who is that?" ask Dio again.

"Well, read a lot of legend stories, do you want breakfast?" Rania moved from her seat.

"Byeah" replied Dio.

"Hmm .. I'll prepare for a moment." Rania puts her phone on the living room table and prepares breakfast for Dio.

"He's my husband, but he doesn't love me. But, I'm grateful, at least he would like to greet me" Rania muttered.

"Dio, today all my things will be brought here, I told people to pack them. It's okay, right? That room I use also make my workspace?" rania asked without looking at Dio.

"Yes, just use it" Dio replied.

"I also brought my car here" said Rania.

"With your driver too?" ask Dio.

"No, for what, I can drive myself" he replied.

"Aren't you able to drive in the crowd?"

"If you don't try, I can't forever, Dio. I don't want to rely on other people continue, have finished your breakfast, I'm sorry to your room take my clothes," said Rania.

"Hmm .." replied Dio who only muttered.

Dio looked at the back of Rania who was walking towards her room. Dio felt strange with Rania's attitude now. He's cute and looks fine. And last night he saw himself with Najwa like that.

"I used to love you Rania, but why can't I now? And, in my mind there were only Najwa, Najwa, and Najwa," Dio muttered while enjoying his breakfast.

"This is all he cooks? Then to buy this cooking ingredient he how? This house from the highway is quite far, if the walk takes 10-15 minutes until the highway, and this cuisine is the same as the mother's cuisine. Unlike Shifa, she can't cook at all, let alone Najwa." Dio said softly while enjoying his meal.

Rania is in Dio's room. He heard Dio's phone ringing, there was an incoming call from Najwa. He tried to lift her up, but Rania did not make a sound.

"Darling, are you right to give me flowers? Thank you, but sorry today I can't meet, I'm a lot of guests at the boutique today." Najwa said that, but Rania immediately turned off her phone.

"So they're still in touch? Okay, I see how far along they are. I can do what, most importantly I have to be a good wife to Dio, or even the best of all the women in the world" Rania muttered while putting on Dio's clothes

Rania knows that her husband hasn't taken a shower, and she prepares a change of clothes for Dio. Rania comes out of Dio's room, she approaches Dio at the dining table, who is still enjoying her cooking. Dio is seen spending the rest of the capcay that Rania made.

"Dio, sorry. It was Najwa's phone call" said Rania, who made Dio stare intently at Rania.

"I'm telling you, don't you dare interfere in my personal matters, Rania!" said Dio in a high tone.

"It seems like it's not personal anymore, if it's personal, it's impossible for you to do a scene like last night in Rooftop, it's up there whatever you want, want to see Najwa yes please, please, what do you want, please." Rania dared to say that by walking towards her room.

"Rania is very brave she said like that," said Dio softly.

Dio saw a single clothing stel on his bed. Dio knew, it must be Rania who had prepared all this. Dio smiled and took his towel and went to the bathroom. After finishing the bath, Dio returned to his room wrapped around his towel. He opened his towel and cleaned the remains of water still stuck on his body.

"Dio ….!" shouted Rania who saw the innocent body of Dio who was cleaning his body with a towel.

Rania who did not know that Dio was innocent like that, she did not knock on the door and went straight into Dio's room to pick up the makeup bag that was still left in Dio's closet.

"Mania ….! Can't you knock on the door first?" dio shouted but he still did not wear his clothes.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you were like that. Quickly put on your clothes, I want to grab my makeup bag," said Rania, turning her back to Dio.

"Then you talk to him, look at him" said Dio.

"How would I want to see you like that. I don't want my eyes stained" he said.

"Sok your holy," said Dio.

Rania turned her body and walked towards Dio. Luckily, Dio was wearing his pants. Rania was really angry because Dio said that. Like denigrating the unholy Rania again.

"Plack…!" one slap from Rania hit Dio's cheek.

"What do you mean, huh! Slap me!" exclaim Dio.

"You can hurt me, you can torment my mind for the rest of my life, Dio. But sorry, your words hurt so much. You think as if I am no longer holy. Remember Dio, best of all, a woman is a woman who can keep her honor, and her chastity, even in front of the one she loves." Rania angrily said like that and took her make up bag and left Dio's room.

Dio just fell silent digesting Rania's words earlier. He sat on the edge of the bed, and still interpreted Rania's words earlier.

"Ahh .. for what I think of him. He was at least in the mouth, the proof was that he was easily like that with Yohan, there was no way that he was still holy" Dio murmured.

Dio laid down his body, he slightly forgot about Najwa today. He thought about what he did yesterday with Najwa. And, it shouldn't have been done to Najwa. Dio thought back to Rania's words earlier. At 10 a.m., he was still in his room.

Dio was bored and walked out of his room. She looks for Rania, but she doesn't see Rania in the living room, living room, kitchen, even her backyard.

"Where is Rania?" mumbling Dio.

Dio walked towards Rania's room. She wanted to knock on Rania's room door, but unloaded it and left from Rania's room doorstep. However, Dio turned around again and opened the door of Rania's room that was not in the lock. Rania is seen prostrating, Rania has never missed the Dhuha prayer. While in the office he also took his Dhuha prayers. Even though it's busy.

"He prayed Dhuha?" Dio asked in his heart.

Dio closed back the door to Rania's room and walked towards the living room. Dio did not expect, the habits of Rania from the time of Junior High until now have been ingrained. Yes, from Junior High School Rania did never leave the Dhuha prayer. Although Rania was born to a mostly non-Muslim family, because her mother's family all lived abroad, Rania tried to study her religion well. Yes, of course, with his father. Because Rania's mother is also a convert.

Rania came out of her room after the Dhuha Prayer. He was sitting on the sofa a bit away from Dio. Rania from earlier was busy with her phone because of her office problem. He also occasionally receives calls from his personal assistant.

"At home it's busy" Dio told Rania after receiving a call from his personal assistant.

"Indeed like that, especially since I have not been to the office for 5 days, I only received reports from the office" replied Rania.

"Oh, yes Dio. Tomorrow I start at the office" said Rania.

"Hmmm .. I still want another 3 days off" Dio said.

"It's up to you" said Rania as she moved from her seat.

"Where are you going?" ask Dio.

"You want to cook, make lunch, there's no cooking, right? It's all gone?" rania.

"Yes" replied Dio.

Rania went to the kitchen, she actually wanted to make a fruit salad as well. Because he never eats rice in the afternoon and evening. In the morning, he had breakfast with rice. Yes all that because Rania maintained her posture. In addition, Rania also wants to set a healthy diet. Because Rania's extended family has never maintained a diet, and often contracted dangerous diseases. Rania would rather prevent it from now on.
