THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 73 "One Roof of Three Love" The Best Brother

Rania and Dio had already arrived at the Villa belonging to the Alfarizi family. Four Villas lined with classic style, make Rania comfortable once there. Dio chose to wear his opanya's main villa. There are 3 more villas, which belong to Arshad, Arshita, and Arsyil.

Rania looked at the large frame on the wall of the Villa owned by Opa Rico. A picture of Alfarizi's family is on the wall. There is a photo of Opa with his two wives that makes Rania think about what if she is in the position of one of the wives of Opa Rico. There are some pictures on the wall. All the special moments Rico deliberately captured in a Photo.

"Why? What's with the picture?" Ask Dio.

"I didn't expect it, opa had two wives and got along with each other like that" replied Rania.

"That's the great second Omaku. Although I never knew what Oma Dinda looked like, but I'm sure she was a very good woman. Rela shared a husband, just because opa can have offspring," explained Dio.

"Calua for example I do not …."

"Stop! Don't talk shit. Whatever happens I will never leave you, and there will never be a second. Only you, enough of you, fill my life until I'm old." Dio immediately cut off Rania's conversation.

"Not finished talking, it's just nyerocos," said Rania.

"You want to talk, yes obviously I nyerocos. If you talk like that, you don't trust me, baby," Dio said.

"Yes I believe. Yes, hopefully no one has a wife of two, or no one should be in honey. I can't imagine living one roof three loves" Rania said.

"I remember the words opa spoke to her grandchildren. Opa always advises all his grandchildren, he said, never be double, or have two hearts in your household, if you can't treat fair to the two hearts you have, because actually uniting three hearts in one roof really tortures the hearts of each of you. That's what opa used to tell us all" Dio explained.

"But why did you wish me first with Najwa?" Ask Rania.

"OK I explained, and I seem to explain this many times already. When I was with Najwa, I didn't love you anymore, Rania. My heart is completely closed to you. I'm not complaining. It was a situation where I loved Najwa very much at that time. Just Najwa, I don't want anything else. That was then, not now. Now different. Just you and I don't want anything else but you." Dio explained it to Rania.

Rania thought for a moment, opening up the past is the same as opening a wound that has dried up. Rania realized, remembering the past instead became a boomerang in her own heart. And, she was confident with her husband now. That Dio doesn't love Najwa anymore. Only he is who Dio wants to be. And, what Rania feels is only a little fear if Dio meets Najwa again.

"Hopefully you will be like that forever, Dio" said Rania.

"That's for sure, baby," Dio replied.

Dio invited Rania to sit in a teak chair in ancient times. He rubbed Rania's head and tucked Rania's hair behind his ears.

"Ran, I know, you're still scared, you're still worried that if Najwa comes back again I'll change my mind. Loving someone isn't that joking, Ran. Maybe I loved Najwa once, and it was a mistake. But at that moment I dismissed all the mistakes. I don't care if my love for Najwa is totally forbidden. But, as I live it. This heart is getting hurt, because I realize, until whenever I can't unite with Najwa." Dio was silent for a moment to see Rania who was still listening to herself talk.

"Different when I love you, I used to fall in love with you, yes maybe that love can be called monkey love or whatever the term is again. Jealousy became something that ruined my love, so that I could no longer feel your love, it turned into hate. Then I loved Najwa, who I believed she would be my last love. But God wants something else. Najwa and I are one nurse, I try to reject that fate. I kept trying to convince him to stay by my side. Until you come back, until I marry you. At that time, my anger really peaked, all cornered me to marry you, all did not know how I felt when I was made jealous of you with Yohan. I didn't accept it until I decided to stay with Najwa. And, that's where I know, there's someone who still holds love for me. Even though I hurt her so many times, she still wanted to get a piece of my heart to love her. It's you, Rania. Dan, now. Let alone a little, my whole heart, my whole life, just for you. So, never fear again I will leave you or come back with Najwa. That's never gonna happen, Rania." Dio explained everything again.

"I believe I won't be afraid anymore, Dio" said Rania.

"If I don't really love you, why would I give up everything for you, why would I ask you to serve me as my wife. That's why at our first wedding, I didn't ask you. Because I don't want to add to the hurt in your heart, Rania. I don't want to, I enjoy your body, but I don't love you. Wouldn't that hurt more? Now, I want to do it, because you are my woman, I love you, you are mine forever, nothing else. That's me, I don't want to do it without love" Dio explained.

Rania realizes, during her first marriage to Dio, there has been no love in Dio's heart for Rania. Dio's love is only for Najwa. That's why Dio often did it with Najwa. And, never touched her at all. Indeed Dio cares, despite not loving Rania, and not wanting to do it with Rania, Dio still considers good with Rania.

"Please don't open this wound again. It's not just you who's sick when you remember that, Rania. I was even more sick when I remembered that. Because, I hurt a lot of people, especially you, and Najwa. I also don't know when Najwa comes back I have to how, what should I say? Pardon you? Or what? I don't know, he's out there suffering enough, and it's all because of me. Is an apology enough to make up for it? I lost brother, I'm gonna lose my brother, and it's all I'm causing. That's all I have in mind if Najwa comes home. Not another, let alone love Najwa, not Rania. And one you should know, Rania. In this matter, I've ruined the harmony of my own family. I've ruined that. I've let everyone down, not only you are disappointed, all of you are Rania. And, to this day, I still feel how disappointed my family is in me." Dio explained everything in a raucous voice. He could not stem the pain and sadness in her.

Only Rania, someone was able to make him laugh again. Only Rania could take it again. Dio clasped Rania's hand and kissed her. Dio cried remembering the time he hurt all his family. Najwa who was driven from home, his brother who inhabited him for months, his mother and older brother also inhabited him. Rico's disappointment in him, also from Raffi and Arkan. Shita and Rana hated him.

"Only you and your mother would accept me at that time. Only you can understand my position, Rania. My mother often advised me at that time. When everyone hates me, it's only mom who keeps me here." Dio grew sobbing in Rania's arms. Rania felt what Dio felt. And, it turned out that behind Dio's fine attitude, he had many wounds in his heart. He's got a million regrets. Rania grabbed the body of her husband who was still crying.

"Dio, Najwa will forgive you, I'm sure of that. Trust me," said Rania.

"I need you, Rania. I need you to face all this. I want to give it back as it used to be. Like when I didn't know Najwa's love. Najwa's brother can best protect his sisters. And, I ruined him. I made him become like this. I broke his heart and ...." Dio stopped not continuing his words anymore.

"I'll help you talk to Najwa if Najwa comes back later. Don't worry, it'll be like before. He could understand, Dio. Don't cry anymore." Rania wiped Dio's tears and kissed Dio's eyelids.

"Yes I know, but I'm sure, Abah isn't like that. Abah and opa love you, Dio. And, for Najwa, if he comes back, he will definitely forgive you, Dio. However, a person like Najwa, he must have had a trauma in his heart. Whether it does not want to marry, or maybe when married she will be difficult to touch with her husband. Because he always remembers the past with you" explained Rania.

"You mean?" ask Dio.

"I'm sorry to ask you again, maybe it's more about your privacy and Najwa's. I hope you can be honest" said Rania.

"Yes I'll be honest, what do you want to ask?" Answer Dio.

"So gini, you really haven't had a husband and wife relationship with Najwa, have you? It means not to do that, just do the touch alone or the other," asked Rania.

"Yes I haven't done it yet. I forced her but she didn't want to, and I just touched hers with my finger" Dio replied.

Rania closed her eyes for a moment hearing Dio's words. He felt his heart being pierced by a sharp knife. It hurts to hear Dio. But, the sicker one here is Najwa. Rania thought for a moment, how is Najwa now, does she still remember that? And , if she has a husband later, can she forget the thing with Dio, would Najwa serve her husband? Because of what Rania knows, many women are traumatized by something like that. Moreover, a woman like Najwa who is meek in heart. It must have been an incident in his heart, and usually a deep trauma for him if he later had a husband.

"Hopefully my guess is missed. Hopefully Najwa can find someone who really loves him and understands his mass. Nor does he harbor deep trauma in him" Rania said.

"You mean, baby?" Ask Dio.

"I'm afraid Najwa will be traumatized by what you did to her. I'm afraid she can't accept other men and is still traumatized by what happened with you" Rania replied.

"I did that like it first, honey. Not forcing like people who want to, sorry, want to rape her," said Dio.

"Yes, I know, honey. But, women like Najwa usually find it hard to forget their past. She's a quiet woman. It could be that if she gets married later, she loves her husband, but she is afraid that he will have a marital relationship. Because of the events that used to happen. Yeah, I hope my guess misses. And, she'll be fine" explained Rania.

"Yes, he is quiet. I hope not, if it is like that. I really can't forgive myself, Ran," Dio said.

"That's it, let it pass, dear. We already have our new page. Our path is long to move forward. And, I will continue to accompany you. Whatever happens next day. We will face it together. Don't be sad anymore." Rania tries to calm Dio's heart which is still covered in guilt for his family.

Dio is indeed getting away from his family, since the incident at the villa. He felt that everyone was ostracizing him even though he was not expelled like Najwa. The burden of his heart he carried at that moment. When all his family silenced Dio himself. Dio's presence was ignored, and while waiting for Arsyad to get sick, everyone ignored him. But, he tried to stay strong with the situation. He was wrong, so Dio should have been treated that way.

Until she told me about it with her mother-in-law, when Rania was in the office and Dio was looking after her. He told me everything about what he went through with Rania. He knelt down to beg for mercy with Anna at that time. Only Anna would willingly forgive Dio. Because for Anna, there is no human being who does not escape error. No matter how holy a man is, he still has faults, except for a newborn baby. Absolutely holy, without sin.

For Dio, only his mother-in-law understood Dio at that time. He allowed Dio to live in his house even though Dio and Rania were divorced at the time. Because Anna thinks Dio is more than a son-in-law. Anna thinks of Dio as her own son.

"You're like a mother, Ran. Said you always calm your heart. Allah is All-Good, He gave me a perfect woman. Thank you, dear." Dio hugged Rania and kissed every inch of her face.

"I'm a mother's son, obviously like a mother" Rania said, pulling Dio's nose.

"Thank you, listen to my story, accept my past, love me" Dio said.

"Yes, I also thank you, if there were no you, what would I be when Evan would ...."

"Don't talk about that. Already, we open our new leaf. And, you said you wanted to have a baby?"

"Then?" ask Rania.

"We do it again, yuk?" Take Dio.

"Maea ...."

"Well, let's go to the room" Dio took with her body.

Rania could not refuse. He also enjoyed every game Dio gave him. It all happened again. Time and time again, and this time Rania really wanted to again and again. It was as if Dio's body had become an opium to him. Rania did not care about the core part that was still sick, because all would be lost when Dio did it with gentleness and passion.
