UNEQUAL

. Slowly Tio knocked on Raisa's room door, and no need to wait for long, Raisa opened the door with a very sad face.

"Rais. sister wants to.."

"Rais is busy" he interjected.

"Sister is sorry. Brother didn't mean to make you think that brother was favoritism or anything. But..."

"The one who apologized. Rais didn't mean to talk like that. Rais knows that you love Aris more because your mom is too focused on Rais, right? And you did something nice with Aris because you didn't want Aris to feel lonely and depressed." Say again.

"You want to go for a walk?" Tanya Tio was about to melt the atmosphere. Raisa nodded slowly and without having to prepare, she followed Tio's footsteps from behind. Seeing Tio wearing casual clothes, he immediately missed the old Tio. Who always works overtime at home and meets him every day.

"Well.ma... Tio take Rais out." He half-screamed as he passed through the hallway towards the dining room.

Along the way, Raisa just leaned lethargic on the car glass beside her.

"Aris where?" Ask Tio.

"Get out." Raisa's reply is still reluctant to change her position.

"out?" Tio asked again this time with a frown of wonder.

"Yes. Daffa picked her up." The answer again closed his eyes.

"Ohhh so. Fariz didn't take you out?" And instantly, Raisa opened her eyes but did not turn her head at Tio.

"Hmmmphh he hasn't heard all day." ~Raisa.

"You guys got into a fight?" ~Tio.

"No." ~Raisa.

"Then?" ~Tio.

"I don't know." ~Raisa.

. At the same time, Rayyan still calmed down Arisa who was crying in her arms.

"Risa's already. Don't cry on."

"You're crazy."

"Why am I crazy?"

"If I'm taken by people how?"

"Yes don't. That's why I'm sorry."

"Don't be so much Aray."

"Yes Risa yes. Sorry."

"How many times do you want to apologize?"

Rayyan chuckled at the spoiled whimper from her lover, she had not been joking with Arisa for a long time and now felt her longing was completely healed.

"Same..."

"Hmm?"

"I love you." Instead of answering, Arisa was silent and did not respond to Rayyan's words.

"You don't love me?" Rayyan asked who was suddenly upset that Arisa had not responded to him in the slightest.

"I know Aray. You said it a few times. And I don't have to answer that, do I? If I don't love you, how could I run away when you and Raisa are getting married."

"You remember?" Rayyan asked suddenly sparkling with round eyes as if in disbelief.

"Emm no. But Diana's sister told me that." Answer innocently.

"Ohhh" Rayyan turned her face the other way and made Arisa realize Rayyan's current disappointment.

"Why? You're disappointed, aren't you?" Arisa asked feeling guilty.

"Emm a little." Rayyan turned back to Arisa.

"Sorry...."

"But no longer. Because you've forgiven me, so I won't leave you again." Rayyan now grabbed both of Arisa's cheeks in a fit of anxiety.

"If I marry another man how?"

"Who? A bayu? Or Dimas? Or Daffa as well? Do you want to?" Her reluctant ejek removed the hand from Arisa's cheek.

"Ohhh you want to see me accept one of them?"

"Did you leave me?"

"Not already?"

"Don't do it again."

"If I leave you again, what will you do?"

"Emmm probably killed himself. Because just going abroad to forget about you, I can't."

"As long as I'm reported dead, you turn away from me or someone approaches you."

"There's."

"Then?"

"I refused it."

"Why?"

"Because I'm still attached to you."

"At least you're not turning away?"

"You really love me that deep?"

"More than you think."

"really? Then, what request have you ever made to prove your feelings for me?"

"My engagement to Raisa."

"So right, I wanted it myself."

"Why are you even talking about this? Now we better eat. Me and Daffa specially prepared it for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Pratama."

"Together Young Madam Pratama."

"Hemm is not official yet."

"Ohhh so you want to be the mistress of my house immediately?"

"Emmm not yes?"

"Aissshhh I miss you dear." Rayyan tightly hugged Arisa and several times kissed her forehead and cheeks.

. At home, Tio brought two cups of warm mocca to the place where Raisa was sitting. He looked dreamy and even seemed unaware of Tio's arrival.

"Rais.." called her slowly but enough to make Raisa turn her head.

"Dream again?" He sat next to Raisa.

"Sister... Would you like to meet aunt Sarah?" Tio sipped his drink casually as if not listening to Raisa's question.

"Sister.." call Raisa by raising her voice.

"What?" Delik Tio was suddenly upset.

"Ishhh I want to meet.."

"If you meet aunt Sarah, then you've hurt your mother." Firmly Tio silenced Raisa instantly.

Amidst her frustration with Tio, Raisa suddenly focused on a familiar figure to her. Soon Raisa moved and quickly approached Fariz who was daydreaming to sit alone. And without a word, Raisa sitting next to Fariz made Fariz turn to her.

"Sister here, but didn't tell me." Raisa's words show a little of her efficacious attitude. But not as usual, now Fariz immediately moved and did not give a single word to Raisa. Raisa who does not know the problem feels surprised and curious about Fariz's attitude that suddenly changes.

"Sister... What's wrong?" He ran after Fariz.

"Nothing." Answer Fariz briefly.

"liks. If there's nothing, brother can't be like this to me." Now Raisa was about to grab Fariz's arm but Fariz quickly distanced his body from Raisa. And this attitude made Raisa even more convinced that Fariz was really away from her.

"So why the hell? Angry brother? Because what? Or maybe you have another woman? Is that why you act like this? Aye right?" Immediately, Fariz frowned upon hearing Raisa's accusation about her having another woman. Whatdoes thatmean? Clearly Raisa herself did not consider herself to be all this time. So Fariz thought.

"Sister's answer." Raisa's speech is now increasingly teary. He was ready with the answer Fariz might have a new lover.

"What answer? What do you want me to answer?" And the puddle of dew flowed profusely on Raisa's smooth cheeks. Fariz was increasingly made to wonder why Raisa was crying just because she did not answer the question from him.

"Okay... Brother wants to leave me too? Yes already. Justjust go. Just leave me alone."

"Why are you crying?" Fariz asked so flatly. Raisa feels increasingly claustrophobic because it was the first time Fariz was cold to her.

"Think of it yourself."

"That's Raisa. Don't give me hope if you never thought I existed."

"What does that mean? Don't assume there's how?"

"Hmph don't pretend you don't know Raisa. All this time you've only thought of me as a friend, right? You know how big I feel. And all this time you've been acting like my lover. In fact? Hahah don't because I'm sincere so you're willing to be with me." Fariz said with a cynical grin and looked frustrated. Raisa felt even more astonished when there was a clear circle flowing on Fariz's face. He immediately wiped away his tears that were flowing without permission.

"I can cry just because of a girl like you." He continued laughing cynically. And 'plaque'

"I didn't think you could talk like that. I don't know what brother's problem is. But don't talk like I'm the guilty one here. With sister saying so, already explained all this time brother just pretended. If you have another woman, just say so. Maybe that way I don't expect big brother to come to propose to me and I won't expect more from you." His words at length then passed with a sobbing cry.

Fariz grabbed her cheek which was still hot from Raisa's slap, and she was a little surprised why it was Raisa who was angry with her.

Seeing Raisa coming back in tears, Tio moved up and grabbed Raisa in a panic.

"You why?"

"I want to go home, brother." Whimpering ignored Tio's question.

"Yes but why? Did Fariz hurt you?" Raisa shook her head violently and was still crying in front of Tio.

"Tell me if he hurt you."

"No brother. My heart is sick. All this time I've been hoping for more."

"Ishh why didn't he solve the problem? I'm sure you're just misunderstanding."

"I want to go home anyway." Rengek Raisa again became even more upset because Tio was still silent.

"Yes, now go home." Tio then followed Raisa from behind. It looks like Raisa is walking so fast as if she is being chased by a ghost.

Tio turned his head for a moment to Fariz who was still in his place and seemed reluctant to move on.

"What's wrong with them? Just this time I saw Raisa crying over a fight with Fariz." Tio muttered heavily.

While Fariz was still sitting daydreaming with a hand that kept stroking his cheeks slowly. He thought for a moment why Raisa was so angry. And what did Raisa mean by her words? Fariz's mind raged on and he himself felt guilty and as if his disappointment was slowly fading away from seeing Raisa's suffocating cry. Instantly he recalled the words of Raisa this afternoon who said that she was just a friend.

Then Fariz got up from his seat and slowly walked away from the garden. He did not know where the car was going until he realized that he was following Tio's car to Raisa's house.

When Raisa was about to get out of the car, Tio pulled her hand to make Raisa sit back but turned her face away.

"Find me first. Looks like he wants to talk to you." Tio said casually. Raisa only glanced slightly towards the gate that featured Fariz's car. He swerved and then immediately got up and ran into the house. Seeing that, Fariz only sighed deeply and he immediately drove his car away from the son's family residence. Tio who felt that there was no more business there rushed back to his home.

. At the restaurant, the couple who still misses between the two is now ending the show. Before leaving, Rayyan grabbed Arisa's hand and said "marry me."
