THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 74 "Explain to Him" The Best Brother

Nuri was busy preparing a house to stop by his cousin's best friend. Luckily next to the house of Opa Vishnu there is a house that is rarely used. Yes, the house is often used only for meetings, or entertain guests who will stay at the house of Opa Vishnu. Opa Vishnu said, unfortunately if you rent a mending hotel in his house only. Therefore Habibi obeyed Opa Vishnu so that his friend and his brother occupied one of the houses of Opa Vishnu while on vacation in Budapest.

“Your friend when to come here, Ki?” ask Nuri.

“Maybe the day after they got here,” Habibi replied.

“Who the hell is your friend?” ask Nuri.

“You must know, Nuy. He used to go to college here. Once occupied this house too, so Opa told him to occupy this house with his brother,” Habibi replied.

“Who the hell? Many of your friends have occupied this house. Until Yas ...”

“Stop! Don't discuss him. I've taken pains to forget him, please don't mention him by name again, Nuy. I beg you,” said Habibi.

“Until when did you hide this from Najwa, Ki? Don't let him know from anyone else, Ki. Explain to him, he also dares to explain all his past to you. You want to cover all that from Najwa?” nuri explained.

“Not yet, Nuy.” Habibi exhaled his breath violently. For a moment he closed his eyes and rested his head in the hands of the sofa.

“Thank you Ainun is not here, Nuy. I'm asking for help, don't mention that name again, Nuy. One day I will explain to Ainun,” Habibi said.

Habibi closed his eyes. Remembering a name that Nuri almost said earlier. It was hard to remember that name. Yeah, two years he forgot a name that had once stopped in his heart. After finding Ainun he really felt like he was rediscovering his life.

“Forget him Akmal, forget it! Your new life will start with Ainun. You don't hurt Ainun.” Habibi muttered in his heart.

Ainun walked towards Habibi who was laying down on the sofa. He had just returned from a halfway house to visit children suffering from cancer with Papah Erlangga. Ainun gently rubbed Habibi's head which was still clad in the hands of the sofa.

“You overslept?” Ainun rubbed Habibi's head and kissed her forehead.

“You're home, honey?” habibi asked with his voice.

“Already, where's Nuri?” ask Ainun.

“Again in the bathroom, just finished cleaning her bath,” replied Habibi.

“Indeed your friend when to come here?” ask Ainun again.

“Maybe the day after,” replied Habibi lazily and still sleeping on the sofa.

“You're not feeling well?”

“Maybe just sauces, here sits. I want to sleep on your lap,” Habibi's pinta.

Ainun sat on the sofa. He raised Habibi's head. Habibi slept in Ainun's lap. He clasped Ainun's hand and kissed her. He felt comfortable with Ainun, just like he was with someone who was almost 10 years old.

“You why Habibi? Any problem with your job? Or why? Tumben once you have no spirit today, darling?” Ainun gently rubbed Habibi's forehead.

“I'm fine, I'm just a soy sauce, honey. You how was that with papah?” ask Habibi.

“Yes all happy with my arrival. And, they were all enthusiastic about listening to the fairy tale I brought. Sometimes I feel jealous of them, dear,” Ainun replied.

“Er how?” ask Habibi.

“They were so steadfast in going through everything that befell them. They never know, today or tomorrow they will face God, but they are always eager to heal and make happy those they love with their smile and their strength against pain. I know what pain they are. As for me, I still often complain, and sometimes I give up, not wanting to continue my life again,” Ainun replied.

“Don't say that, Honey. You know, you're the toughest woman I've ever met. With the chaos of the problems that befall you, you can still rise. And, I beg of you, you must be able to fight your fear, for our sake. We will get married, I beg you, do not be afraid and do not remember all the problems that make you sick,” Habibi said.

“Originally you are next to me I can,” Ainun replied.

“I'll always be next to you, honey. Whatever will happen later, we face together,” Habibi said.

How could Ainun be uncomfortable with Habibi who always made him feel protected? Ainun always needed Habibi in every way. Habibi, too, always involved Ainun in every way.

“Ainun ...” call Habibi.

“Iya, what's up?”

“Ainun, if I have a past with women, would you accept me as your husband?” ask Habibi.

“Iya, anyway,” said Habibi briefly.

“Is it because you remember your past, to make you not this kind of spirit?” ask Ainun.

“If yes?”

“Yes, already, close tight again.do not open. I don't care how dark your past is, honey. We live in the past, so I want you to stand by me for our future, not for the past. Already ah, don't be like this. Where is my Habibi who is always excited and always makes me laugh? How can a weak Habibi be like Ainun?” Ainun.

Habibi did not expect, Ainun did not discuss and ask about her past at all. Habibi who wanted to tell and explain his past, finally he broke down, because Ainun did not discuss it anymore. For Ainun, why bring up the past of someone who we clearly do not know, and we do not know what the life of the person used to be. Most important to Ainun, Habibi was now a Habibi who could accept Ainun as she was, and love Ainun unconditionally.

“I don't need you to explain as dark as what your past is, baby. Because, with you loving me unconditionally and accepting me for who I am, it has made me so much more meaningful in your life. And, I'm your future, so you don't have to worry about me bringing up all your past. As long as you don't go into that time again,” Ainun explained.

“Thank you, Ainun. I did not choose you wrong to be my life companion,” Habibi said.

“Dan, thank you, you were the one who strengthened me during my time here,” Ainun replied.

“Why are you telling me all your past with Dio, Ainun?” ask Habibi.

“Because, you knew me when I was with Dio. You knew me when I was with Dio. As for me, why do I demand you tell me what you used to be like, I don't know who you used to be with? How's life? Aye, right? So I don't need that, dear Habibi. I just need you now,” replied Ainun.

Unknowingly their conversation was overheard by Nuri who had just come out of the bathroom. Nuri did not expect, Ainun did not demand Habibi to tell his past at all. Habibi's past is really bad compared to Ainun. And, should Ainun be willing or unwilling to explain, Habibi should explain. Nuri was afraid of him coming back after they were happy. Nuri did not want Ainun to be hurt by men a second time.

“I should how? Are you the one who should explain? No. gabe. I can't possibly explain, it's the same as me pitting their relationship. Let everything go as it is, hopefully he doesn't come back here. Or better he just die in the Netherlands,” muttered Nuri.

^^^^^

Raffi is still confused about Fattah's invitation to vacation abroad. He still has a lot of work to do in the near future. But Shifa and Arkan continue to force him to go there.

“Come, Brother Raffi. Sister period does not come, mumpung we can vacation together, Kak.” Arkan continues to persuade Raffi to join Fattah and Shifa on holiday abroad.

“Kan, sister is still a lot of work, how, yes?” said Raffi who was still confused, wanted to come or not. Dio and Rania coerced him from yesterday,

“Follow, sometimes you take a vacation, let your office take care, there is Om Rayhan too. Abah misses the atmosphere of the office, and for a long time did not exchange ideas with your Om,” said Arsyad who suddenly came to meet Raffi and Arkan who had been noisy about the holiday.

“Tuh, abah also allows Kak Rafi, time yes do not want to come,” whine Arkan again.

“Kak Raffi does not want to come, actually not a canon, Arkan. He didn't want a day not to see his lover. It's a vacation of up to a week, obviously Kak Raffi thought about it. Want to leave the idol,” said Shifa who sat next to her brother.

“That bill,” says Arsyad.

“You guys know, yes, yes. I'm coming.” Raffi was forced to join them for a vacation abroad.

Indeed, in addition to work, Raffi did not want to come because of Alina. He did not want to go far from Alina. The woman who fills her day every day. Despite just looking at her and rarely chatting with Alina, she was already happy. In fact, exchanging messages via WhatsApp alone is rare.

Raffi also remembered his brother. In the time when all will gather and vacation together, only her brother who does not come. And, until now her brother has not returned home either. He was really sad at this moment, but the person he cared about the most after his parents were not around him. Yes, Najwa. Raffi's sister is the only one, whom he loves very much.

“I'm not just thinking about Alina. I think of Najwa, if Najwa were here, and there was no problem with Dio, he would be happy. We're going on vacation together,” Raffi murmured.

”Indeed what event, Fattah took us on vacation, Fa?” ask Raffi.

“He wants to see his best friend. Yes, he said family-friendly. Opa and his papa had also considered Fattah like his son. Yeah like that, he misses he said. While they were here, Fattah was busy. So, despite being far away, Fattah wanted to see him,” Shifa replied.

“Is it okay to bring a crowd?” ask Arsyad.

“They were happy with our arrival, Abah. Yesterday Fattah resigned his arrival there alone, they were disappointed,” replied Shifa.

Arsyad just nodded his head. Sometimes, the kids go on long vacations. Not in my own country. For a moment Arsyad remembered his eldest son. Her eldest daughter had not come home for a long time. For almost a year he did not come home. At a time like this, Arsyad really misses Najwa. When everyone is going on vacation together, only Najwa is not there.

“Where are you, son. Miss you. May you always be in His protection,” murmured Arsyad.

It's not just Arsyad who feels all this. Sometimes Annisa really feels guilty about this situation. He felt even more guilty, as all these causes were his own son. And, he had to bear the burden of guilt because of the matter of Najwa's departure from home. Moreover, Arsyad and Rico are now also not as close as Dio.

Rico also did not expect, his harmonious family is now transformed into a family of its own. Shita also rarely finds herself in Arsyad's house. Sometimes Rico relents to Shita's house because she misses Farrel and Rana. Since that incident, Shita is also no longer close to Dio and Annisa. It's just that they talk, when they're together. And, that was Tanpan deliberately gathered.
