THE BEST BROTHERS

S4 Chapter 78 "Peace With The Past" The Best Brother

The next day, everyone gathered in the dining room for breakfast. Only Dio was not in the dining room. He chose in the living room to enjoy the jam bread and fruit that Rania had brought.

“Where is your husband, Ran?” ask Shifa.

“In the middle room, he does not want to join, he said his stomach was great if you see the cuisine, strange your sister, Shifa,” replied Rania.

“Fix, this is true you are pregnant, Ran,” Fattah continued.

“Cute Opa to the hospital, huh? Later let you all check your content,” invite Opa Vishnu.

“Not necessary, Opa. Let it be later when you come home,” replied Rania.

“Ya will bring a testpack if you come home from the hospital,” said Opa Vishnu.

“Alright, opa,” replied Rania.

Everyone enjoyed their breakfast in the morning. Only the sound of the clanking of spoons and plates could be heard. Rania feels lucky to be reunited with the good people she is today.

After breakfast, Habibi with Opa Vishnu and Papah Erlangga left for the hospital. Ainun was still at home because he had to go to the halfway house. He had to accompany his patient who was operating today, so he had to go to the hospital early.

“Honey, I'm staying at the hospital, huh? Today Rhys surgery, you know, he's very close to me. You are at home first, do not need to go to the boutique or to the halfway house,” say Habibi who is ready to go to the Hospital.

“I'm sorry to Layover House, Honey. Greetings to Rhys, I have not been able to see him, later after returning from the halfway house I visited him,” he replied.

“Oke, I'll tell you later, you carefully go to his halfway house, I leave.” Habibi left a kiss on Ainun's forehead.

“You are also careful,” said Ainun.

It was like that when Habibi was going to the hospital. After Ainun was active in the halfway house, he was also busy with his work, they set out to work alone. Habibi had now allowed Ainun to go out alone.

“Raf, send your brother, Akmal to the hospital first,” said Habibi with Raffi.

“Siap, Brother!” the answer.

“Asaan anyway, like every day I am not like this, in titip-tipi,” said Ainun.

“Anyone brings you to escape,” said Habibi while pinching Ainun's cheek.

“Already, that same opa papah is waiting for you.” Ainun told Habibi to immediately go to the Hospital.

Ainun re-entered the living room joining his brother. Today Fattah wants to take her to enjoy Budapest. But, he paused, because Habibi, Nuri, and Najwa are busy mornings, so they will be out later tonight.

“Come dong, he said he wants to go for a walk,” take Shifa.

“Later tonight, huh? today as Kiki can't, Nuri is busy too. If tonight we have all gathered I take you for a walk,” replied Fattah.

“Iya Shifa, later tonight, good later tonight you know, if the day is not beautiful the scenery,” said Najwa.

“Hemm .. yes already,” says Shifa.

“Sabar, we will continue to walk Video Call the same abah, mother, and opa. Let us know who we are here with,” Raffi said.

“Why not now?” connect Arkan.

“Later tonight only,” Dio said.

Najwa was silent as they discussed calling his brother. He still feels so guilty about his brother. He did not dare to look at his brother. Even though he misses his brother so much. Dai did not dare to talk to his brother. Hearing his brother called Najwa's face to be sad. He tried to hold back his tears that were about to come out, because he did not want to cry in front of his brother.

“I go to the room first, want to get ready to the halfway house,” said Najwa in a slightly raucous voice because it held back his crying.

“Kak, Sister Najwa is healthy, right?” ask Raffi.

“Iya, brother healthy, brother forgot later at 11 there are guests in the Boutique, brother must go there first before going to the Shelter House,” replied Najwa.

“Oh, yes already,” replied Raffi.

Najwa went into his room. Indeed from yesterday he had brought clothes to live in the house of Opa Vishnu. Because Habibi will have a special guest. And, it turned out that his special guest was his own brother. Najwa locked the door, she sat on the edge of the bed. He opened his cell phone gallery and looked at his brother's photos and opas. Two people he missed.

Najwa cried looking at the photo of his brother and his opinion. He remembered his mistake all along. He lied to them because of the love in his heart. Yes, love for Dio at that time. Love that destroys everything. Everything is ruined because of his relationship with Dio.

He was kicked out of his brother, Dio and Rania were also divorced. Everyone hated Dio, so Rana and Shita hated him. This is all because of the selfish Love, which he created with Dio. Najwa wept until he remembered the event.

“That, forgive Najwa, forgive Najwa, do you really miss Najwa? Did you forgive Najwa? Najwa misses abah, wants to hug abah and opa.” Najwa's cries are breaking.

Rania, who wanted to ask Najwa something, heard Najwa crying a little. He hesitated to knock on the door of Najwa's room, he undoes his intention to knock on Najwa's room door. But, she must know what Najwa is crying for. Who knew Najwa needed someone to exchange ideas.

“Najwa, are you okay?  Can open the door, I want to ask for something,” call Rania from behind the door of Najwa's room.

Najwa immediately wiped her tears that fell down her cheeks. He went to the bathroom and cleaned his face from the remains of his tears. Even though he had washed his face, his swollen eyes were still very visible.

“What's Rania?” najwa asked as she opened the door to her room.

“Can we talk to you for a minute?” rania Pinta.

“Ehm .. please log in.” Najwa sends Rania into her room.

They sit on the bed. Rania looks at Najwa's eyes that are still puffy. Rania knew, after outside discussing wanting to contact her brother, Najwa's face turned sad. Rania knew that Najwa was not ready to talk to her brother. Especially face to face.

“Najwa, are you crying?” ask Rania.

Najwa just kept silent not answering Rania's question. She wiped away her tears that had already fallen from the corner of her eyes. He did not know what to answer, only tears fell down his cheeks.

“Najwa, I know, you missed me, right?” Rania hugs him and lets Najwa cry in her arms.

“I really miss abah, Ran,” replied Najwa.

“Come home, you also miss you, Najwa.”

“I can't go home anytime soon, Ran.”

“Later tonight we chatted with you, through Video Call, you miss you so much, do not torture yourself, Najwa. You know, brother, opa, and mom thinks about you a lot. Abah often goes to the hospital, his condition is often weak, since you left,” explained Rania.

“I'm not ready to talk to you, Ran.”

“Don't be like that, Najwa. If you are like this, how will you marry Habibi?” Rania.

“Will you forgive my mistakes, Rania?” najwa asked on the sidelines sobs.

“Definitely, Brother. Go home, I miss you. If you're like this, you'll torture yourself, brother. Sis, happiness is in your hands, if you do not dare, you will continue to fall in sadness.” Dio went into Najwa's room and heard Najwa's conversation with his wife.

“You know, Brother. Abah silenced me during the incident, until now you also rarely greet me, if I do not greet him first. I know you're disappointed in us. With you and with me. But, as children, we should be able to take our parents' hearts back. Restore your trust, opa, and mother. Our relationship was wrong, but we kept going on the wrong path back then. Go home, there are no parents who do not want to forgive the mistakes of their children, brother. No matter how wrong we are as children, parents will forgive us. I'm sure you'll forgive you, Brother.” Dio sat down beside Najwa and grabbed him.

Just this time he touched Najwa again, for a year since that incident. Dio was aware of the enormous wound he had inflicted on Najwa. Rania continued to persuade Najwa that she would contact her brother.

“Kak, if you keep like this, when you reach happy. Forget about our past. Learn to be friends with the past, brother. I'm sure you can. I'm sorry, that ruined your life like this. We have to put our trust back in you, brother. I have got my new life. Now, stay you, do not fall into this state.”

“Iya, Dio. I'm sorry too, because I you and Rania are separated, and your relationship with your brother is stretched,” said Najwa.

“Now you are not like this. Later tonight we call abah. Must be happy to see you and Habibi,” said Rania.

“How is Om Reno?” ask Najwa.

“Ayah ...” Rania's speech stopped, hearing Najwa ask her father.

“You mean?” ask Najwa.

“Dad died 3 months after you left home, and mom caught up with him 3 months after dad died,” Dio replied.

Najwa was shocked to hear Dio's narration telling Rania's parents that he was dead.

“What is it all about right, Ran?” ask Najwa.

“Yes, I have no one, Najwa,” replied Rania.

“Don't say that, Ran. We are all your family,” said Najwa.

All the words of Rania and Dio succeeded Najwa digested well. Indeed, if we cannot be friends with the past, our lives will stop there. Can't step forward. Let alone to achieve happiness, we still stop dwelling on the dark past.

Najwa also did not expect, Rania turned out to be a truly patient woman. He was also able to resist all the trials that hit him. She should be like Rania.

^^^^^

In the evening, Najwa, Akmal, and Nuri follow Fattah and others who are enjoying the view of Budapest at night.  Fattah had told Akmal where he was.

Akmal met Fattah who was gathering at a Cafe. Akmal, Najwa, and Nuri join them.

“Sorry we are long, you guys have long?” ask Akmal.

“Quiet Ki, all are still at home here, yes we have 30 minutes here,” replied Fattah.

“You want to order drinks or what food?” ask Fattah.

“What's all,” Akmal replied.

As they talked about this morning that they would contact Arsyad, Raffi finally asked Najwa again, agreeing or not to contact his brother. With Habibi's encouragement, Najwa finally wanted to contact his brother.

“That's dong, don't be afraid continue. Abah must have missed you, dear,” Habibi said.

With Najwa's permission Raffi contacted his brother via video call. Maybe it was midnight there, but Raffi knew that his brother never turned off his pomsel even though he was sleeping. Especially now take care of the office because Raffi gave all office work to his brother. So, Raffi knew that his brother had not slept. Video Call connected on Arsyad. And, it was true that Arsyad immediately picked him up.

“Assalamualaikum, Abah,” says Raffi.

“Wa’alaikumusslama,” replied Arsyad.

Najwa shed her tears hearing the voices of those she loved and missed. It felt like he was eager to hug his brother and apologize to his brother, kneeling in front of him.

“You have the heart to contact us once, Raf,” said Arsyad.

“We're busy sightseeing, Abah. Look, we're still out here. Abah what are you doing? Where are mom and opa?” ask Raffi.

“That opa still see your work so far, and mother the same, still check Dio's work, you are busy walking, we are all made riweh,” replied Arsyad.

“Once in a while, abah,” said Raffi.

“So you're missing someone?” ask Raffi.

“Yes, I always miss ummi, Om Arsyil, and Oma. And one more, your brother,” he said.

“Change, would you like to talk to your son-in-law?” ask Dio.

“Hosts? Wh who? Alina?” ask Arsyad.

“There may be Kak Alin coming, Abah,” replied Dio and Raffi.

“Calon son-in-law who is a Doctor. Want to not talk to him?” ask Shifa.

“You mean? Who?” Arsyad was confused and curious.

“Hallo abah.” Rafii aimed his camera at Habibi.

“Habibi? Doctor Akmal?” Arsyad was really shocked by the presence of Habibi sitting next to Fattah.

“This is abah, Fattah's best friend,” said Fattah.

“So your best friend, Habibi?” ask Arsyad.

“Iya abah,” Habibi and Fattah replied.

“Change, where is your opa?” ask Habibi. Arsyad called Rico and Annisa.

“Hai Opa, Mother,” greet Habibi.

“Doctor Akmal?” they were surprised to see Akmal on Arsyad's phone screen.

“Iya, opa, mother, this is Akmal. Oh yes, was his brother Raffi kangen? Who's abah? What is Najwa?” ask Akmal.

“Yes, I miss him. Forgive me, can't take care of him, Akmal,” replied Arsyad.

“It's okay, I take care of Najwa now,” Akmal said.

“You mean?” ask Arsyad and Rico.

“You close your eyes, I want to give abah, opa, and mother a surprise,” pinta Habibi.

Habibi covered the camera lens of his cell phone. Habibi gives Raffi's phone to Najwa, and they let Najwa melt his longings on his abah, opa, and his mother. They all knew that my brother, mother and father also missed Najwa.

“Change, opa, mother,” call Najwa.

“Najwa ..!” They buyak looking at the screen of his phone showing Najwa.

“Yes, this is Najwa. Abah, opa, mother, forgive Najwa,” Najwa said with tears.

“Nak, go home,” they said.

“Yes, Najwa will return home.”

“Go home with Raffi, Son,” pinta Rico.

Arsyad only cried in front of Najwa by hugging Annisa. She was really happy to see her daughter again.

“Najwa is still a lot of work here, so next month Najwa and Akmal can just go home,” replied Najwa.

“That misses you, Son. Go home,” Arsyad's pinta with tears in her eyes.

“That don't cry, Najwa will be home next month, Abah. After all the work of Najwa and Akmal is done,” he said.

“You're fine there, son?” ask Arsyad.

“Good, alAbah. Abah must take care of health, do not have to think about things. Najwa must be home.”

“Pardon me, Son,” said Arsyad.

“Najwa also apologizes, Abah.”

They let go of the miss through Video Call. The tears of Arsyad and Najwa were both flowing. Although Arsyad is angry with Najwa, he wants his daughter to return home. Now Arsyad's house has become very empty since Najwa's departure. And, she was so happy to hear that Najwa was coming home, even though Najwa could only come home next month. Moreover, he heard that Habibi was going to marry Najwa. Cash had Opa Rico's dream to have a granddaughter-in-law of a Doctor. And, not in vain the prayer that Opa Rico had been reciting, to give Najwa a good husband, especially a Doctor.
