. Raisa relentlessly knocks on Arisa's room door by constantly calling her name.

"Aris. Open door! Don't misunderstand my mom. Mama didn't mean to." Raisa shouted louder and louder knocking on the door of the room.

"What didn't mean? Not only mom, but you always torture me, right? I recall. When I wanted to kill myself, my father slapped me hard. And if it's you, I'm never rude." Replied Arisa from the inside with no less shouting. "You hate me too, don't you? Because Rayyan loves me more than you do. Now you just take him. I don't give a shit. You guys are compatible, just let me catch up with Rama."

"Aris. Aris please open the door. Mom loves you so much, Aris. Rayyan too. I beg!" Raisa's shout gets louder and harder hitting Arisa's room door.

Inside, Arisa went and searched for what things could hurt her, but Arisa herself found nothing. Then he looked at the blanket and turned to the balcony door on which he might hang a rope. As much as possible he tore the blanket and made it into a rope. It was heard that someone broke down the door hard and Arisa thought that maybe it was Yugito who Raisa called to help open the door. But Arisa still continued her reckless actions and immediately grabbed the chair on her dresser to pair the blanket she made a mess. And, unfinished he set it up perfectly, the door broke successfully making him jump and fall from the chair. Yugito was surprised and increasingly panicked to see the state of Arisa's room was so messy.

Looking at Yugito who was approaching her with a sharp look, Arisa yelled by squeezing into the wall grabbing her head to hide.

"Don't dad. Don't slap me." His cry grew even more terrified as Yugito touched his head.

"Please father." His shout again trembled unbearably because of what he thought, Yugito would do the same when he intended to jump from the balcony back then.

Unexpectedly, amidst Arisa's fear, Yugito gently hugged Arisa who was incessantly crying.

"What do you want to do, huh? You want to make me tormented again for missing you." The shrillness made Arisa calmer and returned her embrace tightly.

"You why? Why do you like to be reckless?"

"Dad don't hurt me."

"Yes no son. I'm not gonna hurt you. No, no crying."

"Take me to my mother. I'm not like a member of your family."

"Don't talk like that, son. I already understand your feelings."

"If you understand how I feel, why do you always torture me?"

"Dad apologize. I'm not gonna hurt you again. Where's that sick?" Tanya Yugito let go of her embrace and turned to grab Arisa's face.

"Your cheeks are red."

"Mama slapped me."

"Here's dad obati. Rais! Call bi Ina ya." Raisa complies and rushes to call bi Ina to the kitchen. While Yugito helps Arisa to calm down and sit on the sofa. Before long, bi Ina came with Raisa while carrying a small towel and a container of warm water.

"Yaampun non.. Why was the room made a mess?" Tanya bi Ina was sitting next to Arisa.

"Bi.." whine back crying then hugged bi Ina spoiled.

"Bi. please yes. I go to the office first. Come on Rais." Yugito said and followed Raisa from behind. Before it actually passed, Raisa turned her head for a moment and looked at Arisa with a different side. If with Ina bi, Arisa looks like back to her childhood.

"Dad, I want to see my mom first." Raisa's still following Yugito's steps down the stairs.

"Jas. Don't long. Today Fabio will come to the office. And you yourself know what he doesn't like."

"Yes dad. It won't be too late. Just briefly. I'm just gonna take a break to leave." His reply then preceded and half ran towards his mother's room.

"Don't run. Will fall." Tegur Yugito stared at Raisa's departure.

"Yes dad." He looked at Yugito again. " I'm already big. Where could I fall." And 'bam' he hit the door hard.

"Well. That's the consequence for a child who likes to answer."

"Aduhhhh" Raisa grimaced by grabbing her face and knocking on the room door carefully. Rahma opened the door slowly and did not reveal herself. Yugito only sees Rahma's hand which is grabbed and kissed by Raisa. Yugito frowned when he saw Raisa who was like talking, but he did not hear what his daughter and wife were talking about.

"Let's go dad." He approached enthusiastically.

Along the way, Yugito is astonished to see Raisa's suddenly different attitude. He looked more cheerful and cheerful this morning.

"You're happy to see Fabio?" Sindir Yugito glanced cynically at Raisa.

"Ehhhhh is not a father. It's crazy if I'm happy to meet people's husbands." Raisa replied shuddering avoiding her father's silly question.

"Then?"

"Dad what the hell? it's top-secret. Only I know."

"really? Yes it is." Yugito nodded slowly and as if mocking Raisa.

"You and Fariz how?" Her question suddenly made Raisa choke while drinking.

"How's what?"

"Ishh dad first. Aris hasn't been better with Rayyan."

"Ohhh so if Aris is better off with Rayyan, you'll get married?"

"Ohhhh so dad has also wanted my name to separate from the family card? Okay. Then don't be sad on my wedding day."

"If you cry, it's not a sad cry. That's a sign of happy dad."

"There may be a happy father giving his son to someone else." He turned his face in the other direction.

"Ishh you are. I don't give, I trust you to the man who loves you more than I do."

"Then I was going to give it to Fabio, what did you mean?"

"You're still bringing up the problem?"

"of course. Father fearing father's disgrace in the past again spread in the media. Until I sacrificed Aris to be a tool for Fabio to shut up about it."

"Rais enough."

"But who would have thought, the stepmother that I gave to Aris loved her so much now more than she did."

"I said enough." Yugito shouted to silence Raisa instantly.

Until arriving at the Artaris building, Raisa was still silent and reluctant to return to speak. Only certain necessities make him open his voice to Yugito. And at the meeting with Fabio, it was clear that Raisa was holding back from venting her frustration in front of Fabio.

"Looking at your daughter's attitude, it doesn't seem like she wants this contract agreement, Mr. Yugito." Fabio said glancing cynically at Raisa who was suddenly nervous over Fabio's innuendo.

"Ahh not so. He's got something that might be troubling his mind." Yugito replies trying to calm Fabio who may be upset because of Raisa's attitude.

"sorry. I shouldn't have shown my unpleasant attitude because of my personal problems. I'm sorry that I'm less professional at work, and again I'm sorry." Raisa said with a look down.

"You better reconsider working with someone like me." Fabio put down the map and moved from his seat. Several times Yugito tried to persuade Fabio not to be offended, but Fabio was more stubborn and kept passing out of the meeting room. While waiting for the elevator, he stared deeply at his reflected shadow clearly revealing that handsome face and full of frightening aura. When the elevator opened, he found the girl he missed right now in front of him. The girl lowered her head to reveal her bag that looked detached, and with no regard for the road, Arisa continued walking and 'bugh'

"Ohhhh.. sorry." He grimaced and still rubbed his forehead. He was no less surprised when he saw the face of Fabio who looked at him warmly.

"Sister." The screech still rubbed his face.

"You okay?" Fabio asked who was about to grab Arisa's face but stopped when he remembered Sherina's face. He soon realized that he was married and had a daughter from another woman now.

"Sorry." Fabio suddenly became nervous.

"Sister is okay? I hit my sister hard" said Arisa intending to grab Fabio's chest, but Fabio immediately grabbed Arisa's hand.

"I'm fine." His words slowly released his grasp. Then Fabio whispered to his assistant to do something. And his assistant nodded in understanding.

"What's right here? Said you were working with Rayyan?" Ask Fabio then.

"Oh. I'm gonna drop off my father's leftover cell phone." The answer shows Yugito's cell phone. Fabio smiled and just nodded softly in response to Arisa's reply. He still could not believe that the girl in front of him was not his. He was just one step away from his happiness.

"What are you doing yourself?" Ask Arisa next.

"There was a meeting with your father. But it's done."

"Ohhh so yeah." Now it was Arisa's turn to nod slowly.

"Yes already. I go yes.." again, Arisa nodded in response. When Fabio was about to step up, he again stared at Arisa's unexpected words.

"Will there be no more good-bye from you? Four years ago, before I was in an accident, you came to me and revealed everything, right? And at that time I didn't know you were looking for answers to your two toughest choices. Between continuing to make me a wife, or you accepting another woman. Sorry, brother. I didn't know your love was so sincere to me back then. And I made you cry because of my death on the night of your proposal." Fabio turned his head slowly and his eyes were already dewy, then the dew fell down as he looked at Arisa's face that had already been torn by tears.

"You remember?" Arisa nodded softly at Fabio's question.

"That's all I remember about you."

"Can I hug you?" This time, Arisa shook her head while wiping her tears.

"Don't. Your wife will be angry with me. And your son will probably hate me." The answer was a bitter laugh.

"You are a stupid girl. My sister always misses you." Her voice patted Arisa's cheek so Arisa grimaced softly.

"Don't touch. It still hurts." Said Arisa stroking her chuby cheeks gently.

"ill? Tell me who dared hurt you?" Firmly Fabio again exuded an aura gripping him.
