THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 48 "Jealous" The Best Brother

"Ran, can I hold you?" dio Pinta.

"Yes." Yeah." Rania lowered her head because her eyes had been in tears after the conclusion of their divorce hearing.

Exactly 40 days after Reno died, Rania and Dio officially divorced. The divorce process they agreed upon was finally completed quickly. Rania and Dio are in the car. Indeed, they went to use Dio's car to the religious court to meet the invitation of the court decision.

Dio hugs Rania, and now Rania cries in the arms of Dio who is none other than her ex-husband. Dio's status had changed to that of an ex-husband half an hour ago after being decided by a judge at the time of the hearing.

"Ran, I'm sorry. I've complied with all your requests. I beg you, if there is still a chance, before your iddah period is over, I want us to refer back, Rania," said Dio.

"Sorry Dio, I can't. We are better off living each of our lives. Even though you still have to be in my house because my mother asked for it" replied Rania.

"Alright, if that is your decision, you deserve to be happy with a man other than myself, Ran. I'm sorry, I've been scraping wounds in your life for about 17 months" Dio said.

"I want to focus on my mom. I want to take care of mom, if it's a man's problem, I don't know, Dio. Let's go home, pity mom alone at home," said Rania.

"Yes, Ran." Dio drives his car to Rania's house.

Dio was really sorry for what he had done to Rania, so Rania chose to separate from him.

"Indeed, there is a limit to patience in everyone. Maybe Rania's patience is gone because of my ego. Because I always hurt her again and again" muttered Dio who was seen wiping away her tears

Rania looked at Dio who was hiding her tears. However, it was clear in Rania's eyes that Dio was crying. Rania knew, Dio deeply regretted this situation. He regretted what he had done to him.

"Dio," call Rania.

"Yes, Ran. What's up?" dio asked Rania in a raucous voice.

"No need to regret, there is no point in regretting all this when it is over" replied Rania.

Dio pulled the car over and stopped him. Rania looked at Dio, and Dio looked at Rania with her own eyes. Dio pulled Rania's body and carried her into his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm a stupid man, Ran. You're a good woman, but I'm wasting you like this. Ran, I beg you if you still love me, I want us to refer, I love you, Rania." Dio hugged Rania tightly and begged Rania to want to refer to her.

It's only been a matter of hours that Dio can't live without Rania. Moreover, it must be forever, because Rania refuses to refer to Dio.

"I can't, Dio. I can't go back to you, because if Najwa comes back, I'll take back my pain again" Rania said.

"It won't be Rania, I won't be back with Najwa. I promise that." Dio convinces Rania that he should re-refer to her.

"Don't promise anything, if your heart isn't ready to put one heart for you to love, Dio. You may talk if you love me, but your heart cannot love a woman other than Najwa. I'm sure of that" said Rania, stretching Dio's embrace.

"Ran, don't you trust me? What do I have to prove to you, Rania, that I love you? Every day, for 40 days we were together. I'm more and more convinced you're the woman I love, Ran," Dio said.

"No Dio. You were like that just because you felt guilty about me about the events at the villa back then. And I'm sure your heart is only for Najwa. I don't need promises, I just need reassurance, and the one who must love me, not the one who always pulls my heart out, Dio. I'm sorry, I can't go back to you, Dio" replied Rania.

"Okay, if that's what you want, Rania. I'll prove that I really love you, and I'll prove that someday I'll come back to ask you to be my wife again." Dio said confidently, if one day he will come back to Rania again.

"If God wants Dio, let's go home, pity mom," asked Rania.

Dio drove back to Rania's house. Dio knows that Rania still loves Dio. However, due to the disappointment that was already lingering in her heart, Rania could not go back to Dio.

Rania was still worried with the feeling in her heart. Rania still feels a very strong love for Dio, but Rania does not want to torture her heart too deeply anymore to keep loving Dio. Rania realizes that love is unconditional because love does not have to have.

"I still love you, Dio. Loves you so much. Every breath I take, it is always your name that participates in my breath. You're the first man to feel love in my heart. You're my only reason why I'm still so strong in dealing with all this. I love you Dio. I will try to forget this love for you. I also need a companion and need a man who truly loves me without Dio's coercion" Rania murmured.

^^^^^

Anna sees no awkwardness in Rania and Dio. Every day it gets more connected. Anna knows that Rania is getting a divorce from Dio, but she doesn't know that Rania and Dio are officially divorced. And, it's been 2 weeks Rania in the house always wearing a hijab.

"Ran, did you see from yesterday that you were in the house wearing a headscarf?" ask Anna.

"Just want to, Mom. Rania wants Istiqomah in hijab," replied Rania while arranging breakfast.

"Ran, where's Dio?" ask Anna.

"Maybe you're taking a shower" answered Rania.

"Are you okay with Dio?" ask Anna again.

"Yes as usual mom. Why do you ask like that? Every day Dio and I are normal, Mom," replied Rania.

Rania had breakfast for her mother and was sitting next to her mother. They were waiting for Dio who had not come out of his room.

Dio was still in the room, sorting through the clothes to go to the office. For two weeks Dio slept in the guest room, but he was secretly from Anna. Dio exited his room and walked towards the dining room.

"Morning," Dio greeted and sat down beside Rania.

"Morning, Dio," replied Rania.

"Ran, take Dio's name, dong," Anna said.

"Oh, yes. Please Dio." Rania gave Dio rice. Rania is getting further and further away with Dio. He chose to stay away from Dio, in order to slowly forget about Dio.

"Thank you, Ran." Dio took his plate from Rania's hand.

"Dio, I have a meeting out of town today with Evan and the others. And this morning Evan's gonna pick me up, it's okay, right?"

"I'll take you, '" said Dio.

"No need Dio, I'm with Astrid too" said Rania.

"No need mom, Rania with Astrid also later not alone with Evan. You have an important meeting today, don't you, Dio?" rania replied to her mother while asking Dio.

"Yes, but I can arrange Rania, '" Dio replied.

"Don't be like that, work it must be professional Dio, don't disappoint the Client," argued Rania.

"Well, you're with Astrid, I don't have to drive, I trust you. You went with Evan for work" Dio said.

"That's dong, don't get jealous" said Rania with Dio's hand.

That's all Rania does because let her mother believe that Rania and Dio's relationship is okay. Rania looked forward, as there was a male voice greeting her. Yeah, Evan, who else if not him. Although Rania is married, Evan still often goes home when Reno is still around. Evan is still on good terms with Rania's family. Especially with Anna, she already considered Anna like her own mother. And, since Rania married Dio, Evan considers Rania open the woman he loves again, giving off her sister or best friend.

Until now Evan does not know, if Rania and Dio are divorced. The only ones who knew were Dio and Rania were also the Dio family. Evan also knew that Dio and Rania's household was fine until now. They just haven't been given any offspring.

"Good morning everyone," said Evan.

"Morning, Van, have you had breakfast?" said Anna.

"Aunty. Aunt's healthy, right?" ask Evan.

"Thank God, as you can see" replied Anna.

"Ran, are you ready?"

"Already, dong. Go to Astrid's office first, okay?" rania replies and asks to pick up Astrid first, even though Evan only has the two of them to go out of town.

"Why pick up Astrid?" ask Evan

"We are not alone, the third demon, Van, will be" replied Rania.

"Let's go, later, our trip there 2 hours ago," asked Rania.

"Okay, ready!" Evan with Anna and Dio.

"Sorry borrow your wife first" Evan told Dio.

"Hmmm .. be careful to bring people's wives" Dio replied.

Anna and Dio follow Rania and Evan who walk outside to leave for the office. Inexplicably seeing Evan's closeness with Rania Dio was very angry. Moreover, Rania is still not finished his Iddah period. Rania should know, she should keep a distance first with men, even though the man is her business partner. But, Dio also can not prohibit, because indeed Rania with Evan a good working partner from the past. Dio stared at Rania walking out next to Evan with a laugh as Evan gave a little joke to Rania.

"Why does it hurt to see them close like that, especially Rania can laugh freely with Evan," Dio murmured.

Dio was still glued to his feet on the porch of the house until Evan's car disappeared from view. Anna who saw Dio like that knew that Dio was jealous because Rania was close to Evan.

"Don't be jealous, I know Evan and Rania are close, but I'm a little confused by Rania's attitude these two weeks. He was in the hijab house and kept Dio, and now with Evan there is a little berkandya, whereas from the beginning they were familiar Rania not as cheerful as before," said Anna.

"Maybe Rania's in a good mood, ma'am. Yes, Dio's gone" said Dio.

Anna knows that Dio is still holding back jealousy towards Rania and Evan. Anna called Dio and Dio immediately stopped his steps.

"What's the matter, mom?" ask Dio.

"Dio, sit down for a minute, I want to talk" Anna asked. Dio sat next to Anna on the terrace seat

"What do you want to say?" ask Dio.

"Dio, is your marriage okay?"ask Anna.

"Emm .. well, mother," replied Dio.

"You're lying, right?" Anna gives an invitation letter from the court and proof of the divorce deed to Dio which she finds in Rania's room.

"Explain to me, what is it, Dio!" Anna is very angry with Dio because it has been two weeks since Dio and Rania hid the divorce.

"I'm sorry Dio, mom. Dio was forced, this is all Rania asked for" Dio said in a hoarse voice.

"Mom knows everything, ever since you argued in the hospital I heard all, Dio. Is it true that you are with Najwa." Anna's words stopped as Dio knelt at Anna's feet.

"I'm sorry Dio, Mom. It's Dio's fault. Forgive Dio. Dio's mother's law, Dio is not a good man for Rania." Dio cried with Anna's feet

"Mom didn't expect you to be like that with Rania, Dio. I'm disappointed in you!" Anna is angry with Dio. But, she also realized and understood their decision to divorce.

"Later tonight I want to talk to you, I hope you can come back with Rania, son. You're the only one Rania loves" Anna said, hugging Dio.

"Mother, Dio is eager to reconcile with Rania, but Rania does not want to, mother. Forgive Dio, Dio failed to be a husband." Dio was still crying hugging Anna.

Anna knew how hurt Rania was because her husband was double. He knew that Dio was only two, and did not know that Rania had not been touched by Dio for 15 months.

"Here we talk about tonight, we find a good way out" Anna said.

Dio just nodded his head in Anna's arms. She still relaxed her heart in the arms of Anna, the woman Dio had already considered like her own mother. Dio says goodbye to Anna for the office. Anna tries to calm Dio's heart before Dio leaves for the office.

Dio got into his car when his heart had calmed down a little. She did not expect Rania would be so careless as to put the evidence of their divorce in her room. Dio has rarely been in Rania's room since his divorce. She went into Rania's room when Anna had not slept, and after Anna had entered her room, she had just moved into the guest room.

"I'm scared, mom dropped again. I should how? Do I have to talk to Rania about mommy's pain? Yes, I'll talk about it tonight. This can't all be kept quiet, the more days I see my mother deteriorating her health. I have to tell Rania" Dio said, turning on the engine of his car and driving it to the office.

Dio wanted to follow Rania where to go with Evan, but because she had invited him to talk, he became stunned in the footsteps of Evan and Rania. It was impossible for Dio to ask Rania and Evan where he was.
