. Arisa was stunned to hear Rayyan's confession and she seemed to be worried about the answer. His heart suddenly hesitated for what reason, but like something was blocking his heart from answering 'yes' to Rayyan's proposal. Arisa only smiles in response and Rayyan concludes that Arisa accepted her proposal and she happily hugs Arisa so tightly. And without realizing it, Arisa again shed her tears by returning Rayyan's embrace.

"Sorry Rama. I will eventually have to erase your name completely." Inner Arisa. As he closed his eyes, he felt that there was Rama behind Rayyan, and right in front of his face. Rayyan felt something strange and immediately took off her embrace. He was surprised to find Arisa crying all of a sudden.

"Risa... Why are you? Is anyone sick?" Rayyan asked suddenly in a panic and was only responded to by Arisa herself.

"Then?"

"I'm afraid Oma doesn't approve of us anymore. How about I go back to loving you like I used to, but Oma wants your happiness with another woman? I'm afraid it's happening again Aray." The answer was unconsciously the sentence he uttered. Arisa herself did not know what sentence she said. Why worry about Oma?

"Why is that all you remember in happy times like these?" Again, Arisa just shook her head in response.

"Risa, I don't care about your amnesia anymore. Whether you want to remember me or not and everything we've been through together, even though we've chosen a different path, you're going to marry Fabio, and I was forced to accept an arranged marriage with Raisa, but nothing happened. Doesn't that show that we're both going to be together? So, marry me, and don't worry about anything anymore. I'll keep you safe from anything and anyone that hurts you." Clearly Rayyan then wiped away the tears of Arisa that had already flowed down her cheeks.

"Aray. I want to see Sein."

"alright. Don't cry anymore." That way, Arisa convinces Rayyan by throwing her sweet smile and forcing her tears to subside. Until the two decided to hurry to the Pratama residence. Along the way, Rayyan unceasingly stroked Arisa's hair and turned to grab the lover's hand and did not want to let go even when she reached home.

Hearing the sound of the car, Seina who happened to be in the living room rushed out to welcome Rayyan. And like a surprise, Seina so enthusiastically approached Arisa and hugged her tightly.

"Kangen tea. Brother where have you been?" Whine Seina with spoiled.

"So, I'm busy working, baby." He replied back to Seina's embrace.

"Risa.." call Sonya from the doorway.

"Mother.." said Arisa turned to approach Sonya who was stunned with the dress that Arisa is wearing now.

"You still... aihhh all this time it turns out the dress you still keep?" Sonya asked with haru and held the dew on her eyelids so as not to fall off.

"Gift from Sein was also my sister wearing. It's been a long time, but it's still the way it used to be." Timpal Seina smiled cheerfully.

"Gift? What is this dress?" Ask Arisa innocently.

"Hemm don't you remember?" ~Sonya.

"Sorry mother. But, if you tell her, who knows Aris remembers." He suddenly said enthusiastically.

"Ehemmmm" suddenly everyone who was there turned to Rayyan who looked so isolated.

"Sir Aray what the hell? Brother Aray don't bother Sein and the princess. Tonight the older sister has to spend time with Sein."

"Ohh can't. The brother brought her here. So you want to spend some time together."

"Can't be. Sister must be with Sein."

Seeing the quarrel of the brothers in front of him, Arisa immediately remembered her friendship with Reza.

"What are you and your sister doing?" His mind suddenly agitated.

. "Mother don't move much first." Reza said with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

"Mother is better Za." replied Sarah in a soft voice. Reza looked at her mother's pale face. Since returning from Jakarta, Sarah always locked herself in a room. Unlike before, let alone going to the kitchen for a meal, Sarah was never seen again.

"Due..."

"Hemmm" said Reza still focus on feeding Sarah slowly.

"What is the princess doing? Is she happy? Why isn't anyone calling? Is the phone in confiscation? Or..."

"Already mother... The princess found her life. Don't expect him to call us. Because at first, the princess shouldn't be here." Reza interrupted quickly.

"Honestly, Za. You miss him, don't you?"

"No." His answer turned his face in any direction.

"Then? Why don't you sell the Princess' apartment. You wish he'd come back, right?"

"Your mother, don't talk too much."

"Why avoid? Mommy knows you want the Princess back in this house, right? If not, at least to this city. He came to see us and said that he misses us the same..."

"Mother is enough." Reza's screams made Sarah speechless. Angrily Reza placed the bowl beside Sarah's bed. He went and shut Sarah's door hard. Sarah who got the anger Reza also let her tears flow profusely and she could only look at the picture of Arisa who was laughing loosely in her arms.

Reza hit the pillar of the house so hard that it made a slight sound that anyone who heard it shuddered at the thought of the pain.

"A Reza tea why?" Mang asked Asep as he coincidentally passed by after closing the gate.

"There is no mang. Just a little annoyed." Reza replied glancing for a moment at Asep's mang. After Asep left, Reza immediately grabbed his phone and called one of the numbers he had never called. Several times he tried to contact, but there was no answer to any of his calls. Until Reza felt that his efforts were in vain, he decided to re-enter the house and immediately passed to his room.

. The night was getting late, after Arisa got home, she rushed into the room without wanting to know the condition of her twin sister who was crying.

When he picked up his phone, there was an unanswered call from the number with the name clearly displayed was the name of his half-sister who he currently missed. Immediately he pressed the number back and automatically called the number owner.

A few times connected, but no answer. He decided to call Sarah's number. And not having to wait long, Sarah answered Arisa's call.

"Daughter.." a voice that was so soft that Arisa was stunned because her heart felt slashed to guess that Sarah was getting sick.

"Mother's sick?" He forced himself to calm down.

"No. Mother is fine." answered Sarah also refrained from showing herself unwell.

"Mother crying?" Ask Arisa next.

"No. It's just the flu, baby." Answer again.

"Mother... The princess longs.." and, hearing this sentence Sarah instantly could not hold back her tears. He shut his mouth tightly so that Arisa would not hear herself sob.

"Mothers also miss dear." Unlike Sarah, Arisa here smiles at the answer from Sarah.

"Mother... Princess-"

"Aris... are you asleep?" Rahma's question suddenly opened the door, making Arisa surprised to hang up her phone.

Across the street, Sarah could not help but feel her tightness because she really missed Arisa.

"Ma-mama... w-what's up?" Tanya Arisa stamped.

"No.. Mama just.... Who did you call?" Tanya Rahma switched the conversation.

"Oh.. i-this seems like someone's been on the wrong side."

"Why nervous?"

"Emm. ka-because the mother suddenly entered, and the Princess was surprised." The answer this time made Rahma frown disappointed.

"Did you call him again?" Rahma asked suddenly.

"Nope-no. Ma-sorry ma... Put-Aris..."

"Already Aris. You never really thought of mom."

"Isn't it the mama who never thought Aris existed? Mama always loved Rais, right? From childhood until now all you care about is Rais. If I miss you more, it's only natural, because you gave what you never gave to Aris. Mommy loves Aris, cares about Aris, and mama? Did you ever take care of Aris when she was sick? When Aris was cancer Aris was only sick alone. Mama is not per-ughhhh" suddenly Arisa stopped and grabbed her head that suddenly turned. He only realized that the sentence he just uttered was not a sentence that was on his mind. He himself did not know why he was speaking that way. Arisa staggered and immediately collapsed on the floor right in front of Rahma.

"Aris.." cried Rahma hurriedly grabbed Arisa. The shadows of all the sad events began to appear in Rahma's mind, he was increasingly afraid of anything that concerned the condition of loss of consciousness. He was so afraid that his daughter never woke up and ended up fusing with the land like Citra.

Hearing Rahma's call from upstairs, Yugito immediately follows and panics when he sees Arisa sleeping on Rahma's lap.

"Aris why else?" Tanya Yugito who moved Arisa to the bed.

"He. He suddenly fainted mas." Answer irent. Yugito did not think of anything else, he then stroked Arisa's head slowly and hoped that Arisa would open her eyes again. The shadow of Nadhira's death and the accident still left Yugito terrified.

. The next morning, Arisa found her parents sleeping on both sides. He felt a moment of warmth that he never got in his life.

"Dad... Aris wants to work." His words tried to wake Yugito and Rahma. Slowly Rahma opened her eyes and so did Yugito.

"Awake? What's that hurting?" Tanya Yugito immediately moved and grabbed some parts of Arisa's body, especially the head.

"No dad... Aris is fine."

"Aris..pardon mama ya.." said Rahma in a soft voice and responded to a nod by Arisa. Again Yugito and Rahma hug Arisa tightly. It makes Arisa feel moved and remember some of her childhood moments that are still close to her mother's father.

"Rais, for this time I just want to be selfish." His mind returned the embrace of his parents.
