. "Tio. Can you get me some water?" Tio squealed as he did not like anyone to rule him.

Even so, Tio still left. After making sure Tio was far away, Dimas sat down beside Arisa who was still lying down.

"How long have you been crying? And want to see when you're gonna cover up about that. I'm sick of Aris.I'm sick of seeing you keep trying to look strong and okay in front of your family." Dimas ruffled his hair rough.

"Why are you upset? Not even I die will anyone care." Said Arisa without turning her eyes away.

"I'm afraid if that happens. I don't want to lose you, I was lonely enough when Rama left. What happens if you go too." Said Dimas staring closely at what was in front of him.

"I'd rather see Rama soon." The faint but still audible voice of Arisa by Dimas.

"I can also cry when faced with loss." Dimas.

"I don't expect my death to be mourned by everyone in Dimas..." Arisa moved and sat down.

"Your condition is weakening." Lirih Dimas who could not hide his worries.

"What's wrong. I take it." Arisa smiled warmly as if there was no burden on her shoulders. And as if there were no deadly diseases in his body. Liver cancer is not a disease that can be underestimated. Especially if it is stage 3. But different for Arisa, he considers the disease as his way to soon meet with Rama.

. Tio returned with a glass of water and gave it to Dimas.

"Thank you big brother" Dimas chuckled when he saw Tio's expression that was upset by it.

"You haven't explained it to me. I know there's something weird here." Said Tio leaning on Arisa's makeup spell. Dimas glanced at Arisa who looked relaxed.

"Let me tell him." Arisa smiled faintly. Dimas did not respond and left after sipping water in his hand. And put some medicine on the table.

. Tio escorted Dimas to the front of the house, staring at Dimas' car which was getting away from his residence.

After making sure Dimas passed through the gate, Tio returned to Arisa's room.

It was Arisa who was sound asleep when Tio opened the door. His intention to ask about what was holding him back just shut down, and Tio again closed the door. Tio entered his room and sat down at his desk.

"Rama.. I hope you calm down there even though Arisa is very lonely without you." Lirih Tio looked down on the table with both hands.

. The next day, Arisa slowly went down the stairs. Not usually, now his knees feel weak and trembling.

"You want to go to college?" Tio asked who came out of her room with a neat stelan. Arisa just nodded in response.

"Are you really healthy?" Arisa nodded back.

"Son't deliver." Tio closed the door and walked along with Arisa. Arisa's steps stopped in the guest room.

"What's wrong?" Tio asked in wonder.

"Why didn't you wake me up today and not tell me to eat breakfast? Is he bored because I always refuse?" Asked Arisa with an innocent face looking at Tio who was speechless then smiled at the behavior of his sister who still had a childish side.

"Hemmmm so all this time you've been waiting for people to take you out to eat?" Tio Eject. Arisa lowered her head without answering Tio's question. "Maybe aunt is busy. So I couldn't wake you up." Tio gently rubbed the head of Arisa who nodded in response.

Tio delivered Arisa who was clearly still weak. But Tio knew what Arisa was feeling right now. Feeling bored and lonely if you stay at home. Plus the question of Arisa's condition keeps coming up in Tio's head.

"Sister not having breakfast?" Tanya Arisa disperse the daydream of Tio who remains focused on driving.

"Silver breakfast in the office." Tio replied, and again Arisa just nodded. "Do you want breakfast with brother?" Arisa did not answer or respond.

"Alright if you don't want to.." continued Tio sighing.

"So big brother." Arisa turned her eyes away.

"Just been..." Tio smiled.

. Until at a shop, Tio went down first, followed by Arisa.

"Because your stomach often relapses, we have breakfast porridge, huh?" Tanya Tio then ordered 2 servings, and sat down at one of the tables.

"If you don't mind, brother wants to know what you're hiding with Dimas about your condition." Tio said with a worried face. Arisa was silent, her mind felt that Tio's sister had started to suspect her illness.

"I-i...."

"Mass and miss orders are ready." Say the waiter kindly put the order on the table.

"On time." Inner Arisa smiled amiably.

Arisa devoured the porridge in her bowl.

"It looks like having a sister is better." Said Arisa glancing at Tio's bowl.

"You want to exchange?" Arisa nodded enthusiastically and exchanged the two bowls, then devoured again.

"But it's the same." Said Arisa glancing at Tio who was speechless looking at her.

"There's no way I'm ruining his good mood right now." The smiling Inner Tio looked at Arisa who was different than usual.

"Sister brought me here, but why didn't you eat?" Rajuk Arisa looks tasteless when he sees Tio who is just speechless. "Do you want me to take a bribe?" Arisa thrust a spoon filled with porridge on Tio. And Tio shook his head then devoured from the hands of his beloved sister. Tio wished Arisa was always as cheerful as this morning.

. From across the street, a girl stared at the donkey across her. See the scene of a very romantic brother and sister. His envy began to feel tight. But the sense was lost, when he recalled that his twin sister was more envious when he saw her with a mother who noticed them differently.

*campus Xxx

. Arisa gets out of the car and enters the campus gate.

Corridor, Arisa sees Rayyan who is walking in the opposite direction to her. Arisa smiled making Rayyan's heart suddenly beat hard.

Her smile was very sweet, even though her face was the same as Raisa's, but Arisa's smile was very different from Raisa's.

"Looks like you're okay." Rayyan said as they faced each other.

"Is Seina okay?" Arisa looked at Rayyan.

"What is your habit? You always ask without first answering my question." Rayyan said in a cold tone.

"I'm doing fine. And what about Seina?"

"He always asks you. Whine wants to go home and see you." Reply Rayyan.

"Me?" Arisa pointed at herself.

"Can you see him for a minute?" Rayyan asked hesitantly turning her face away.

"Is this how you persuade someone?" Rayyan turned her head and looked at Arisa when she heard the question from Arisa. "Well, I'll see him when the class is over." Arisa who stepped up left Rayyan.

. From afar, a lecturer who did not escape the sight of the girls in the campus, stared fixedly at the two students who had just separated.

"Arisa.. if you can open your heart to Rayyan, and vice versa, Rayyan is able to open your heart to you, I'm the first person who will feel happy." Inner Seno who turned around entered his room.

Seno learns of Arisa's grief at the loss of Rama. And Rayyan who really does not want to deal with women because Rayyan considers all women who like it just because of looks and possessions. But unlike Arisa who never cared about it.

. At home, the aunt felt that she was very hearted to let Arisa back lonely. Aunty knows, if there is no her, Arisa always feels down. There is no place to share their stories, sadness, or desire to end their lives. It was really a difficult thing that was impossible for bi Ina to do. His affection for Arisa is not playful, considering he takes care of all about Arisa.

"I'm sorry aunt non." Inner bi Ina shed tears.

"Bi? Auntie crying?" ask one of the servants beside him.

"Ahhh no. Just remember the people in the village." Bi Ina replied smiling and rubbing her eyelids covered the truth that she had to stay away from Arisa.

*yyy Campus.

. Raisa sits on her favorite bench with her head bowed at the table.

The sound of footsteps was heard approaching him, and sure enough, someone stopped beside his stool.

Raisa turned her head to tilt "who?" His inner.

"Hey brother-in-law. You don't look excited." Daffa's words made Raisa turn her head up to make sure that her guess was correct.

"What's wrong?" Raisa's asking still remained with her position.

"Hows it? Did Arisa take it?" Ask Daffa with sparkling eyes.

"Emmmmm it seems so." Raisa answered without expression.

"What's wrong with you? Come on. Don't be such a desperate man." Daffa said encouragingly.

"I don't know if it's desperate or not, but obviously I don't want to live, and even die reluctantly." Inner Raisa.

"Haihhh yes already.I'm sorry if disturbing. I left first and thank you for helping me yesterday." Daffa's sincere speech made Raisa wake up as if she did not recognize Daffa suddenly. Daffa looks more mature today. But Raisa still did not believe whether Daffa really liked Arisa sincerely or not.

"If you're serious about Arisa, give me proof that I can trust you. And if it's proven, I hope you can make her happy." Lirih Raisa turned her face away.

Daffa simply smiled in response, then left behind the door.

"Your smile is not funny Daf." Raisa muttered softly with a cold and annoyed expression.

Raisa is upset because Daffa did not convince her, or because she remembers her elder sister being closer to Arisa. Even the two are like lovers when viewed from afar. Very romantic, warm and full of happiness. Raisa was grieving when she found out the grade marks had already begun.

*campus Xxx.

. Rayyan sat leaning against her lap, turning to the girl who had just entered the classroom. His gaze was cold, very different from when he met her this morning.

Arisa sat down, then Rayyan put her face closer to Arisa's hair.

"I prefer it when you smile like that." Rayyan's whispers made Arisa speechless. Remembering the exact same sentence as Rayyan said. Not wrong again, Rama said the same thing 2 years ago when the two were still together.

And somehow his heart felt a little happy, Arisa felt there was a figure of Rama behind her.

"I like you better when I smile too." Arisa replies slowly but still heard by Rayyan.

Rayyan smiled at what she had just heard.

"really? Like this?" Rayyan's question made Arisa turn around to find Rayyan smiling. The warm looks of the two meet.
