THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 36 "Until Blindfold" The Best Brother.

Dio had already arrived at the hotel he was heading to stay at. At 4pm Dio arrived at the hotel. He immediately threw himself on the bed. His eyes stared at the ceiling.

"At once there was no one who was chatty and fierce. Why did I think about it? But, it is indeed lonely," muttered Dio.

Dio takes his phone and sends a message to Rania, informing her that he has arrived at his destination.

"Ran, I've arrived. Have you come home from the office?" ~Dio.

Dio put down his phone again waiting for a reply from Rania. It has been almost 20 minutes waiting for a reply from Rania who never returned reply, finally Dio sent another message to Rania.

"Ran, why don't you answer?" ~Dio.

"Rania, are you okay at home? ~Dio.

"Ran, yes, I'm going to take a shower. Be careful at home, later if you are free to reply." ~Dio

Dio threw away in any direction his phone was on the bed. I don't know why he was really thinking about Rania at this moment. Maybe because it is used to always being together in one house so it is natural to feel that there is less.

After taking a bath and praying Ashar, Dio opened his laptop to check his work. He occasionally glanced at his cell phone that was beside him. There was no reply from Rania. Dio continued his work again.

While he was seriously working on his job, his phone rang. He hurriedly grabbed his phone and saw who was calling.

"Najvas? I guess Rania," said Dio softly and with a slight lift.

Somehow the reply from Rania is currently Dio looking forward to. Even Najwa called him heavy to lift him.

"Hallo, Najwa," Dio said.

"Dio, have you arrived?" ask Najwa.

"It was, like, 4 o'clock" replied Dio.

"Cok didn't tell me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so tired, I keep taking a shower, and then I go straight to check on my work" Dio said.

"Hmm ... When do you come home?" ask Najwa.

"I'm here five days. Later if I go home we'll see you, baby," replied Dio.

"Okay, yes I've been going with Wulan's doctor" said Najwa.

"You be careful, take care of your health, baby" Dio said..

"OK,"

Dio turns off his phone and sees the chat he sent to Rania. Until before magrib Rania had not read a message from him.

"Ran, where are you, anyway? The time has not returned to the office already want Maghrib," murmured Dio.

Dio sent another message to Rania. I don't know why he really wants to know about Rania now.

"Ran, where have you been? Why haven't you answered my chat?" ~Dio.

Dio looked at his phone. He forgot his laptop that was on showed his work files.

"Dio, stop thinking about Rania, why are you, anyway? To no extent is this concentration because of Rania," murmured Dio.

He threw his phone in all directions. He shut down and shut down his laptop, then threw himself in wait for the Maghreb to arrive.

"Usually at this hour I see Rania sitting casually facing the laptop in a place that is so comfortable for her, which is in the corner of the back terrace near the flower garden. Yes, he often continued his office work there. Ah...Rania again," murmured Dio.

After the Maghrib prayer, Dio came out of his room for dinner. He left his phone in the room. Indeed, from earlier he did not touch his phone, because Rania did not return messages from him.

"I usually hear Rania teaching at this hour, but this time, I didn't hear it" Dio murmured.

Rania indeed every time she finished Maghrib prayers she did not miss teaching. Even if only a few pages he read his Mushaf.

Dio was already inside the restaurant. He booked his dinner at a restaurant inside the hotel. Dio enjoyed his dinner. It felt like he was not very appetizing with the food in front of him, even though the food in front of him was all delicious food.

"It's still good Rania's cooking," he murmured while spooning food into his mouth, because it's already in his message. So inevitably he has to enjoy.

^^^

Rania just finished Maghrib prayer and teaching. Rania was very busy at the office. Added to the sudden meeting with his client. So he came home late. Rania comes out of her room without remembering her phone. She had her mother who was making dinner. Rania hugged her mother, because during those 6 months, Rania rarely met her mother and father.

After a day at the father's office, meet clients, and let go of longing with his father. Tonight he took turns to miss his mother. Rania kissed her mother's cheek which she was hugging tightly.

"Son, I'm preparing dinner, you're like this" Anna said.

"Mother, Rania kangen mother, has long not embraced mother like mother," he said spoiled.

"You have Dio in your arms every day" Anna said.

"Ah ... mother, different dong if Dio," he said.

"Eh .. I forgot to ask him what he's up yet? Ah ... I'll be after dinner. At most he was busy himself, or busy calling Najwa as usual. There's no way he's gonna tell me first. I'm mah what, legal wife yes, touched and loved no" muttered Rania while sitting next to her father who had come out of her room.

Tonight Rania has dinner with her family, without Dio. It feels so different. Usually he is the one who always prepares food for Dio, cooks, gets rice. This time it was different, he was instead served by his father like a queen. Reno was like that to Rania. Because Rania if dinner is very difficult, she rarely eats rice at night, just playing vegetables and after that eating fruit.

"Eat a lot, don't diet. You are already skinny. Keep your diet okay, but still eat rice," said Reno.

"Yes, dear father," said Rania while kissing her father.

They had dinner together. Rania is very hard to swallow her mankan. Because he remembered Dio, and has not told Dio today.

"He's been eating yet, huh? What's she eating tonight? And what are you doing? I'll call him later. Uh .. but I don't want to start first, I'm afraid to disturb him. Once he was chatting or calling Najwa. If I call instead I get sprayed," muttered Rania.

After dinner, Rania goes to her room and picks up her cell phone in her bag. His eyes were perfectly rounded seeing the message from Dio a lot. Rania's smile unraveled looking at all that. He did not expect from 4 pm Dio to tell him.

"Dio chat this much? Until just before the Maghrib he was still waiting for me to reply? Ah ... Dio, how did you grow up like this? Rania, stop! Don't worry, Dio is lonely, there's no word from Najwa, so with you like this. Don't be happy Rania, you will be hurt again" said Rania softly.

Rania replied to a message from Dio. With a happy smile Rania replied to a message from Dio.

"Sorry Dio, I was in a very busy office, and there was a sudden meeting with a client. Good thing you're taking me. Have you had dinner? You be careful there too. Take care of your health and diet." ~Rania.

Rania put her phone on the table. He looked at his cellphone which from earlier did not show any reply from Dio.

It's been 25 minutes for Rania to wait. There was no reply from Dio. He called Dio. Rania never called Dio. But, if he chat dare to chat first.

"Bismillah, hopefully Dio picked up my phone" said Rania lirih.

Rania called Dio, up to 3 times the phone he was not picked up by Dio. Disappointment now enveloped him.

"What's going on with Najwa?" Rania muttered while imagining that Dio was outside the city with Najwa.

"Do I have to call Raffi, make sure Najwa is home or not? Ah .. Yes I call him," muttered Rania.

Rania called Raffi. The call connected and Raffi instantly picked it up.

"Hallo Rania, what's wrong?" ask Raffi behind the phone.

"Where are you, Raf?" ask Rania.

"I was out with Najwa, driving Najwa to meet Wulan" replied Raffi.

"Oh, yes, I have continued first, I want to ask about the company only, later can connect again," said Rania.

"Okay" answered Raffi.

Rania hung up. There is a sense of relief, because Raffi is with Najwa tonight.

"Luckily, this afternoon I discussed the company with Raffi. So there's a reason I called him about the company. If Najwa is with Raffi, where is Dio? How did I become like this?" rania Gumam.

Rania settles down on the bed, waiting for Dio who has not yet returned a message from her.

Dio had just returned to his room after dinner and enjoyed live music at the cafe. Rather than being bored and bored waiting for Rania to reply to a message from him. Dio chooses melihta live music at the cafe. Until he remembered Rania through a song owned by Dewa 19 entitled "Song of Love".

Dio picks up his phone he sees several missed calls from Rania and one reply to a message from Rania. Dio unraveled his smile seeing the message from Rania. His heart was a little relieved, for some reason it could be like that his heart. Seeing the message from Rania, her heart was greatly relieved once, like all the burdens had disappeared.

"Rania called? It's 9pm, is he asleep? I tried to call him back, just the next time he hadn't slept" Dio murmured.

Dio tried to call his wife, did not wait for a long time his phone was picked up by Rania.

"Hallo Ran," said Dio greeting Rania.

"Hallo, Assalamualaikum" answered Rania.

"Va'alaikumussalam, Rania. Tumben at 9 hasn't slept?" ask Dio.

"Not yet, again checking the email from Astrid," replied Rania, she was lying actually she was waiting for a reply from Dio.

"Oh, did you go to your own office?" ask Dio.

"And I told you earlier with dad, Dio. Dad brought me. Dad was waiting for me at the office, until I came home and met a client" Rania replied.

"Didn't you go to the office?" ask Dio.

"Dad deliberately a day did not go to the office to accompany me, Dio. He said he missed me" replied Rania.

"Oh, like that?"

"Yes, Dio."

Suddenly there was no conversation. Rania was confused as to what else to say, and so was Dio. I want Rania to say "i miss you" but it's impossible

They are both silent.

"Ran, are you still there?" ask Dio.

"Yes, still. What's the matter, Dio?"

"I thought you were missing,"

"You, where did you come from when I didn't pick up the phone?" ask Rania.

"I was out for dinner, and instead of being bored in my room, I watched live music at the cafe" Dio replied.

"Where do I think I'm going,"

"Where are you going? Here I am alone, have you eaten?" ask Dio.

"Once, from earlier. When are you home?"

"Najwa ... There hasn't been a day I've been here, you ask me when I'm home? Do you miss me?"

"Dio, I'm sorry Rania, not Najwa,"

"Emm .. Ran, sorry. I'm sorry, not my point,"

"I know you miss Najwa. Already do not discuss this," said Rania with a tone that is getting louder because it holds tightness in her chest.

Dio speechless. He did not know why he mentioned Najwa's name when he called Rania.

Rania was silent too. Resisting her crying that almost fell from her eye patch. Rania exhaled heavily and began to ask Dio to speak again.

"Dio, why silence?" rania asked in a cheerful voice.

Rania covered her grief. He did not want Dio to be angry because he was silent. Rania did not want to lose this moment as well, where Dio wanted to call her first while out of town. So, he was willing to close back his sadness.

"It's okay, Ran. Sorry about that," said Dio.

"Dio, I know, you miss Najwa too. Because I know, Najwa's been your soul mate, Dio,"

"Ran, thank you," said Dio softly.

"For?" ask Rania.

"Thank you for understanding me, you have been patient with my attitude. Thank you for everything, Rania," Dio said.

"You've been so melow that, not cool ah. Let's just say I'm your friend, Dio. If you don't want to see me as your wife. Love cannot be forced. A thousand years you live with me, if your love is only for Najwa, what can I do" said Rania.

"Ran, what are you talking like?"

"It's like that, isn't it, Dio? Love cannot be forced,"

"It's possible, Ran. Have you ever been in love, Ran?" dio asked which made Rania momentarily speechless.

"Every human being has fallen in love, Dio," replied Rania.

"Who with? Do you still love him?" ask that again.

"What are you asking?"

"She asked like that, dong replied,"

"Don't talk about love. I have no love" said Rania.

Rania gets confused by Dio's questions. He would rather end his call than talk about love that ends up hurting his own heart.

"Dio, it's 10 o'clock, I'm sleepy" said Rania.

"The answer was my question,"

"Which is Dio,"

"Who were you in love with, and do you still love that person?" ask Dio again.

"I'll say, Dio. I have no love, Dio," replied Rania.

"liks. Said you're my friend, honestly dong's his friend,"

"OK, I only have love for someone precious in my life, Dio. My parents" answered Rania.

"Other than that?" ask Dio.

"none. Because menicntai without being chained is sick, Dio. So I will love the one who loves me too" replied Rania.

"Do you love your husband?" Dio's question made Rania mute. He did not expect Dio to ask.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Rania replied firmly and casually.

"My husband loves another woman, where I may love her. I'll love her if she loves me" replied Rania.

"Aren't you trying to reach your husband's heart?"

"No, because at any time he can't love me. Isn't that right, my husband?" rania.

Dio fell silent digesting Rania's words. This was not the answer he wanted from Rania. All she wants is for Rania to be honest with her about how Rania feels about her.

"Why silence? Isn't that right, Dio?" ask Rania.

"Ehmmm .. Ran, I .. emmm .. already, yes Ran. I want to rest" said Dio.

"Okay, good rest, Dio. Assalamualaikum,"

"Wa'alaikumusalam,"

Dio ended his phone call with Rania. He did not expect Rania to answer like that firmly and clearly. Her father's book or how, Rania instead answered casually and in accordance with the fact that Dio did not love her.

"Ran, you're lying, you still love me, right? Ran, is that how loud your heart is? To lie to your own feelings? And you can still speak firmly without any sense of heaviness in your speech? I'm sorry Ran," muttered Dio.

Dio was still thinking of Rania who lied to his heart. Obviously Rania loves her, but she is so good at hiding her feelings for Dio.

Rania looked at the ceiling of her room. He did not expect Dio to ask like that. I really want Rania to get that love back. But, it felt so impossible to get Dio's love back.

"I love you, Dio. Until I close my eyes in the future" Rania muttered as she closed her eyes.
