THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 31 "Reminds" The Best Brother

Dio and Rania were already getting ready to leave for her brother's house. They were in Dio's car. Dio drove up his car and played music in the car. Sheila On 7's song "If You're Not Next to Me" reminds Rania of when she was in Junior High and it has its own memories for Dio and Rania. I don't know why Dio played that song again. Rania turned it off. He does not want to remember that time, which will not be repeated again.

"Why in matiain?" ask Dio.

"It's okay" replied Rania.

Rania leaned back her head and looked at the street through her car window. Sometimes Dio looked at Rania who was on her back. Dio knows why Rania turned off her music. And, Dio also does not know, why he can play Sheila On 7 songs that have so many memories with Rania through the song. Dio had no idea what had happened to his heart since last afternoon. When Rania sent a very short message to her this afternoon, her memory was fixed on Rania.

Seeing Rania dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and a plisket skirt reminded her when Rania was still Junior High and went to tutoring together. Rania's face was also unchanged, still sweet and very beautiful. The only difference is that he looks more mature.

"Why do I remember again? He's still the same, always looking very simple" Dio muttered, continuing to steal a glance at Rania.

Rania saw Dio who from earlier stole a glance at her. Rania felt strange at Dio's attitude today. Rania was still staring at Dio who was focusing on driving her car. Dio who did not know that Rania was looking at her, suddenly Dio turned to look at Rania. Their eyes looked at each other.

"Have you been content to steal his sight? Don't steal a glance, then eat your own talk!" tukas Rania's.

"Whoever steals a glance" said Dio.

Dio returned again to play the song, Rania just silently enjoyed again in the play of her husband. Although the song was very heart-rending to remember the good times first with Dio while still sitting on the bench of Junior High.

"Ran," call Dio.

"Hmmm." replied Rania just muttering while looking out the window.

"I heard that there will be an Akbar Reunion in our Junior High School, did you know that?" ask Dio.

"I don't know, I rarely communicate with Junior High friends. At least only Dini and Winda who until now still exchange news," replied Rania.

"I think you know, you will be active in Junior High first, and who does not know a Rania Pratiwi" said Dio.

"Do you know from whom Akbar's reunion will be held?" ask Rania.

"From Teguh, just found out, we talked for a while at the cafe until this afternoon. He was the role model, I accidentally met in front of a mini market, then I was invited to chat with him about Reunion," replied Dio.

"Oh .. I thought you met Najwa," that remark only crossed Rania's heart.

"Hmmm... good dong no Reunion, it has been almost 10 years we did not meet, then when the plan?" ask Rania.

"It's been 10 years, Ran. For his show the end of this year may be, or early next year. That Teguh said earlier, not knowing the fix when. You want to get into the group?" Dio offers Rania to join Junior High.

"No need, there is no benefit in the group, later if you can news when the fix, I'll come along. And if you need funds how much I'm ready," said Rania.

"Don't want to know about Yohan?" Dio suddenly discussed Yohan.

"Yohan? Yohan who I forgot, Dio," said Rania.

"Forgetting the same boyfriend himself" said Dio.

"Daughter? I've never had a boyfriend before" Rania said.

"From the day I loved you, Dio. Until now," murmured Rania.

"Yohan Pradana, when you forget?" Dio reminded again.

"Emm .. yes I remember, do not discuss him," said Rania with a face that turned dim.

"Why? Is there a good past with Yohan?" ask Dio.

"Enough! I told you not to talk about him, Dio." Rania said with quite a high tone and with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, I won't talk about her anymore" she sounded a little shrewd and nervous when she saw Rania's eyes glittering over Yohan Pradana's name.

"He seems to have a bad past with Yohan. Discussing Yohan she turned sad and frightened," Dio muttered with a look

Soon they arrived at Arshad's house. Rania and Dio got out of the car. With reflexes, Dio clasped Rania's hand and walked into the house.

They were greeted with Arsyad who was sitting in the living room.

"You guys have come? How are you guys happy?" ask Arsyad.

"We're happy, Abah," said Dio, and Rania smiled.

"In the kitchen with Mba Lina, we are preparing food" replied Arsyad.

"Najwa with Shifa?" ask Rania again.

"Najwa is with Doctor Wulan to the halfway house, and Shifa has not come yet, it is still on the road he said," replied Arsyad.

"Yes, Rania has gone to the kitchen first, Abah" said Rania.

"Emm ... Dio, drop my bag." Rania gave her bag to Dio.

"Give me your bag, dear," said Dio who unhesitatingly called Rania affectionately in front of Arsyad.

Rania frowned, but she knew that Dio was calling her dear because it was covering up their relationship that was not okay.

"Yes I've been to the kitchen" said Rania.

Rania heads to the kitchen to go to Annisa who is busy preparing for the night. Rania hugged Annisa from behind because she really missed her mother-in-law.

"Mother ..." Rania hugged Annisa from behind.

"Rania .. You surprised me, son? Have you come yet? Where's your husband?" ask Annisa to Rania and kiss Rania on the cheek.

"Dio is with Abah and opa, mother," replied Rania.

"Hows it? You happy?" ask Annisa.

"Happy dong mother," answered Rania with a happy smile covering the state of her household that is not okay.

"Thank God that you are happy" said Annisa who is a little unsure if Rania is happy to be married to Dio.

"Is there anything Rania can help you with, Mother?" ask Rania.

"This is it, at the table, son. Just prepare a plate and a glass," replied Annisa.

"Okay mother." Rania arranged the dishes that were ready at the dining table. Rania arranged the dishes and glasses also on the dining table and poured water in the glass.

Rania did not expect to be part of the Alfarizi family. Even though he did not get love from Dio, at least his two in-laws loved him. Especially opa Rico. He loves himself too.

While she was cooking at the dinner table, Najwa came to see her. Najwa accidentally meets Rania because she asked Dio where Rania is.

"Ran," said Najwa.

"Have you come home, Najwa?" ask Rania.

"Here you go, Ran can we talk for a minute" asked Najwa.

"Emm .. can," replied Rania.

Najwa takes Rania to the back porch, Rania walks behind Najwa. They sit next to a swimming pool that no one can see.

"What do you want Najwa to talk about?" ask Rania.

"Ran, I'm sorry about that. I admit, I love Dio very much, and our relationship cannot be united because you know me and Dio are cousins. And, I'm sorry, if I'm up to now and I don't know when I still love Dio so much" Najwa said.

"Najwa, you may love Dio, because loving is human nature. But, you have to know, love is not like that. Do not drop your honor Najwa, even in front of your loved ones," said Rania.

Najwa only fell silent as Rania said that. Najwa did not understand why Rania could talk like that.

"Yes, I know Rania" said Najwa.

"If you know, why did you do it?"

"Do what Rania? I did absolutely nothing with Dio" said Najwa.

"Najwa, I know you're already in touch with Dio. I'm just reminding you, because you're my best friend. I don't want you to give your honor to a man before marriage, if you want more than that, you say with Abah and mother well. Don't be like that. I'm ready to divorce Dio if you and Dio want to get married." Rania immediately left Najwa after saying that to Najwa.

With tears in her eyes, Rania went straight to the toilet. She was crying in the toilet. A sense of tightness was increasingly felt in her chest, lamenting the fate of her being married to the person she loved but her husband did not love her.
