. Slowly, Arisa opened her eyes and found Vienna by grabbing her arm and crying nonstop. Beside Vienna, Diana stroked her head.

"Sister.. i-here is this?" Ask while trying to move.

"In Dimas' clinic." Diana answered helping Arisa to sit leaning back.

"Dimas?"

"Yes me. Wh why? You forgot I had a clinic?" Tanya Dimas glanced cynically while tidying up her medical device.

"Dim... Do you know why there are scars here?" Arisa asked suddenly herself. Dimas glanced at Vienna and Diana alternately and the two nodded in response to Dimas's gaze that was clearly indecisive to what to answer.

"After Rama's departure, you were convicted of liver cancer. And the truth is only you and I know. You asked me not to tell anyone, and you're getting worse. Until you finally tell Tio and he desperately searches for a liver organ to graft your liver to cancer. Many times Tio asked me to use his heart, but not only Tio, Vienna, Rayyan, and even Marcel offered to be a donor for you." Hearing that long sentence, Arisa turned to Vienna and as soon as her memories began to appear slowly showed all her memories with Vienna.

"Now I know why you always appear in my dreams. And in fact it wasn't Win's dream.Why don't you come on our promise day? You said you wanted to see me when I had my semester off." Vienna immediately embraced Arisa who slowly shed her tears and made herself powerless to hold back because Arisa remembered her mistake at that time.

"I'm sorry Aris..."

"I'm waiting for you Vienna..."

"I knew. But why do you remember now? You don't know my heart hurts so much when you don't recognize me."

Diana wiped away the dew on her eyelids looking at the moment they were so looking forward to. The return of Arisa's memory.

"Don't expect more. I still don't remember exactly what happened. And I also can't tell if what's going on is a dream or not." He continued to release hugs and brushed off the expectations of the three people in front of him who were clearly so happy to hear he remembered one of the moments together with Vienna.

. At home, Raisa shuts herself in her room and doesn't let anyone open it. He was getting desperate because no one came after him.

"I'm not important." His words were interrupted by an unrelenting cry. Rahma who was not at home made Raisa more frustrated herself. Until he decided to rush out of the house and drive a car without a destination. Without realizing it, he broke through a red light and almost collided with another driver. His heart felt like it was going to come off instantly as he pressed the brake pedal firmly and hit his forehead hard. Immediately he pulled over the car and saw the driver who almost hit it following him and by putting an annoyed face approaching Raisa's car. His face was no less handsome than Rayyan and his age was not far from him. The sound of a knock on the car glass made Raisa jump from shock and still panic. Then he sighed in a moment and with a bow he got down from the car.

"I'm really sorry." He had no intention of raising his head.

"Arissa? Are you Arisa?" His words hesitated and managed to make Raisa look up.

"Bu-not. I'm Raisa."

"Ohh sorry. I'm mistaken. You why? Daydreaming?" Raisa shook her head slowly while holding back the more piled up dew on her eyelids. Seeing that, Fabian immediately understood what Raisa was feeling.

. "So you're having trouble?" Raisa nodded while stirring the ice cream in front of her randomly. The two decide to stop by a tavern to calm Raisa down.

"You can tell a story. Who knows if I can help." Fabian was still responded to by Raisa.

"Yes if you don't want to." Say again.

"Do you like Arisa?"

"Ohuk..." Fabian suddenly choked as he was sipping his order of iced coffee.

"Be careful, brother." Plain talk. Fabian was stunned and his smile implied seeing how similar Raisa was to Arisa.

"You guys are really similar huh? But there's a little difference to me."

"We are different, brother. Very different." Raisa said chimed quickly with sudden sadness.

"Yes. Youre right. Brother Bio said so too."

"Is Fabio's brother still ambitious to destroy my father's company? Why is he so good to Aris. He has a family."

"Us used to. Now it's not. Not only good, my brother loved Aris so much all this time. I heard and saw it myself. Either since Aris was rumored to be dead, or I just didn't know. Before Fabio was married to Lisa's sister, I found her lamenting the wound on her hand and I asked, Who would dare to hurt Bio's sister? He was considered so scary. And he replied, it was a visible physical wound that he accidentally made himself from the person he was forced to stay away from. The person he loved so much, and the person he had been looking for. I think you met an old friend or ex-lover who never got your blessing. But I couldn't cover my curiosity because for the first time I saw Brother Bio crying without a sound and as if he was missing something precious to him."

Raisa still does not understand Fabian's story.

"Sir Bio was the only person who knew that Aris was still alive at the time. If I had known it in the first place, I would have picked up Aris as soon as possible and maybe she wouldn't have amnesia by now."

"Don't know what's going on? Did Fabio's brother tell you anything?"

"Yesterday. He told me everything. Aris had intended to commit suicide and Bio's brother held him in exchange for his injured hand. But Bio doesn't know what caused Aris' accident."

"Why is he always so reckless?"

"you mean? always been?"

"Yes. 5 Years ago, if you hadn't caught Aris jumping off the balcony, Aris might not be around now. And this morning, he was going to hang himself if Dad didn't break down the door. Everything's my fault. If I had died small, maybe Aris wouldn't have been like this."

"What really happened to you?"

"Is that so?"

"It is so."

"But thank God Aris is fine. I can't believe he's alive."

"And I can't believe he's amnesiac. I don't believe the disease is true, in fact even my own sister who experienced it."

"Oh yes. Are you still dating Fariz?"

"Who did Fariz and I say are you dating? We're just close." He answered without realizing there was a hand that was about to reach his shoulder but closed when he heard his words. Fariz chose to pass with disappointment because the girl he considered his lover for the past 3 years only considered him a close friend.

"I've considered him more than a lover. He's always been there for me, and maybe if he proposed to me now, I'd just take it."

"I was late." His eyes chuckled and heaved a sigh of relief at Raisa who was starting to look calm and came back carefree.

. Later that night, Daffa came to pick up Arisa with a neat stelan and looks so official. Rahma who welcomed the arrival of Daffa was amazed by the appearance of Daffa.

"I asked permission to take Aris out to dinner." He looks nervous.

"You made an appointment?." Daffa nodded then followed Rahma's instructions to sit in the living room.

"Yes already. Auntie call Aris. Good time he was preparing." Again, Daffa nodded in response and let Rahma pass from before him. Before long, Daffa turned his head when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He seemed to see Arisa's stunning appearance. Light blue dress with hair clasps and thin makeup polish is enough to make Arisa like a living gulali. Very sweet.

"Su-su-ready?" Arisa nodded with a knotted smile. Daffa was increasingly unable to withstand his thumping heartbeat.

"Aunties. Am I having a dream? Or is it reality?" Ask Daffa with a serious face.

"Why indeed?"

"What aunty. It's just that I still can't believe there's an angel this beautiful."

"Daf. don't embarrass me." Arisa chimed.

"I'm serious Aris. Is it aunty?"

"Yes." Rahma answered making Daffa smile with satisfaction and glanced at Arisa full of ridicule.

"Yes is aunt. I'll take care of it."

"alright. Take care of your auntie's son, believe in you."

"Yes aunty sure." He then grabbed Arisa's hand nervously. Arisa who was holding back a laugh, instantly changed the position of her hand. He took Daffa's arm by walking to the car.

Arriving at a restaurant, Arisa was astonished that Daffa was walking in front of her as if a bodyguard was guarding the princess for her prince. But Arisa was increasingly surprised by the figure of a man who was standing next to a table that had presented some food and smiled at him.

"A-ray?" Ask wonder.

"Same...."

"Daf... i-this what does it mean? N-are you the-"

"No Aris. I prepared it for you both." Arisa frowned turning to Daffa and Rayyan alternately.

"Yes already. I stayed. Have fun!" Said later. Daffa passed by with a happy smile yet with a wounded heart.

Rayyan grabs Arisa's hand and the other one grabs her chuby cheek. She is so fascinated by her lover tonight.

"You're so pretty." His words slowly held haru.

"Aray.. i...."

"Risa. Ii'm sorry. I didn't mean to silence you. And I want you to not misunderstand Clara. I don't love her. I just love you."

"I am too."

"Then? Why aren't you jealous?"

"I'm so jealous of fools. Heart hurts. And you're comfortable making out with him in front of me." He replied hitting Rayyan's chest with teary eyes.
