UNEQUAL
109

. After preparing, the twins passed each other in front of their room. Raisa who felt guilty for what she said yesterday instantly turned her face and rushed ahead with quick steps.

"Rais.." call Arisa half-screaming but not enough to make Raisa stop.

Arisa also decided to hurry because the clock has shown at 07:38. As usual, he was always escorted by Mang Ujang to Pratama company. However, unlike usual, now Rayyan was standing in front of the building while continuing to glance at the watch in his hand.

Arisa herself was made to wonder why Rayyan was already in the office this early. Usually, at this hour Rayyan has not been seen at all. Arisa got out of the car with a sullen face because she saw a female employee who was reluctant to turn her eyes away from Rayyan.

Even so, Arisa was still acting formally to Rayyan. From bowing respectfully, to walking behind Rayyan. However, upon entering the elevator, Rayyan asked Daffa to leave her alone with Arisa. At first Daffa refused because he thought that Rayyan would mess with Arisa, but Rayyan assured Daffa that he would not do anything. And by force, Daffa also according to then he switched to another elevator.

The awkwardness between the two is gone when Arisa is shocked because Rayyan is leaning on suddenly. Seeing the same Rayyan surprised, Arisa was unable to hold back her laughter.

"Laugh all you're satisfied." Delik Rayyan with his clothes.

"You why? Breakfast yet? Or..."

"Not hugged you." Rayyan interrupted and immediately embraced Arisa spoiled.

"Aihhh are you so spoiled?" ~Arisa.

"Only to you." ~Rayyan's.

"really?" ~Arisa.

"You don't believe me?" ~Rayyan's.

"You said before, all those men can't be trusted." ~Arisa.

"When did I say that?" ~Rayyan's.

"Either. But, I think you've said that." ~Arisa.

Rayyan hugged Arisa even more, until the elevator door opened she was still reluctant to let go. Both of them still look relaxed because they think that outside the elevator is Daffa. But Arisa pecked at Rayyan's arm that kept coiling around her neck.

"Aray.. release it quickly." Whisper with a slight gesture.

"I'm still-Wahhh dad." He screeched as he looked up and quickly let go of his embrace. Getting a sharp look from Danu, both of them suddenly nervous and misbehaved. Fortunately Danu was alone there, if anyone else Arisa did not know where to throw her face because of embarrassment.

"Risa. if anyone is not nice to you, do not hesitate to report. I'll make sure that guy gets fired." Danu surprised Rayyan instantly.

"Wahh his father made an exaggeration." ~Rayyan's.

"Serious father. You Aray. I know you and Risa are dating, but don't show your affection here. What if I wasn't the father who caught you. Your good name will be tarnished by Aray. And it could be the Son's family's good name too."

"Pardon Aris father." Said Arisa lowered her head and without her noticing Danu was so stunned to hear Arisa's call to her.

"Oh yes Risa. Today I can be invited to meet with company B. A Respati Group's. I have interests and Aray must-"

"No father. Why not just Daffa. Or better I go see Bayu. Don't Risa. If you don't let me, cancel the deal." Rayyan annoyedly interrupted Danu's unfinished sentence.

"You jealous?" Danu's ejek makes Rayyan nervous again.

"Yes, it's obvious. Father himself knows how I feel about this father-in-law's future son-in-law." Rayyan replied, turning her face slightly flushed with embarrassment.

"Then, you come with me to meet with representatives of other companies. Coincidentally, I heard you knew him, so it wouldn't hurt if I took you." Danu said later.

"What is this father? Risa is my secretary. So..."

"Don't argue. You just meet Bayu and don't let this deal go off. Because this project is very important to you."

"What's important to dad? And why should Bayu? What if he was planning to take Risa away from me."

"Wait for me to go home, baby." said Rayyan spoiledly as the elevator door slowly closed.

"There's no dearest. It's gone there." ~Danu.

"Ishh basic parents sucks." Rayyan held her hand so upset that the elevator was perfectly closed.

"Ishh you saw Risa. Your husband is a bitch. I just can't believe he's my son." Hearing Danu's complaint, Arisa only chuckles in response even though her mind is wondering who she will meet. Why is his heart beating so hard.

In short, Rayyan got to the point of meeting Bayu who was none other than a cafe with a VVIP room that had been ordered by their officers.

"The good thing is that it's not Risa." Rayyan said with a sharp look at Bayu who was so relaxed. Very contrary to Rayyan, Bayu's gaze was so warm and very friendly.

"Just go to the point. I don't have much time." Rayyan said later.

"Ahh that's disappointing. Though I had hoped that coming was my ex-wife-to-be." Hearing Bayu's teasing, Rayyan suddenly got emotional and he moved from his seat with a sudden overflowing anger.

"Rayyan calm yourself." Reprimand Daffa in a low voice.

"I can't calm down Daf. This bastard must be taken out of Risa's life." Daffa who had resigned with Rayyan's anger, he could only sigh deeply while shaking his head.

Instead of being provoked by emotions, Bayu who saw Rayyan angry even asked her to shake hands.

"Congratulations." His words astonished Rayyan.

. At the same time, Arisa is increasingly agitated when stepping foot in a meeting place not far from the Pratama company building. As he looked at the back of the figure he was familiar with, he was instantly unable to control himself.

"Sister Zain." He was right behind Zain. Hearing her name mentioned, Zain turned his head and his eyes sparkled to see Arisa now in front of him.

"Daughter." Call Eva who's up from her seat.

"Mr Eva.." she turned to Eva.

"Let's just know each other, so let's discuss the core of our meeting." Said Danu who was taken seriously by Arisa. He immediately becomes like a different person if he has started a job. But when her work is done, she will become Arisa again.

When Danu was about to move up and take Arisa back to the office, Arisa was still sitting quietly as if she did not want to get out of her seat.

"Dad... Can Aris ask permission to speak to Brother Zain first? There is something important that Aris wants to talk about" he said so politely and expectantly.

"Alright." replied Danu briefly and he left Arisa there.

"Sister Zain.. Brother Reza, how are you? Mother how? Are they okay? Last night Aris called mom and Aris heard a different voice. And mom said she had the flu. Has the flu been cured?" Zain immediately looked down upon Arisa's consecutive questions and he didn't know whether to answer honestly or lie. Because if you answer honestly, Arisa must be worried and Reza will be angry with her. And if he lies, he can't.

"Tante Sarah did get sick, but now she is improving. Maybe because the weather is changing now. Well, you know for yourself, it's already into the rainy season." Clearly Zain was trying to find a logical reason that Arisa could understand and not make him worry more about Sarah.

"That's how it is. I actually want to visit my mother. But brother Tio and mom won't allow it." Reply Arisa who looked down lethargic full of regret.

"What a Princess. There will be a time when you will meet." Say Zain with calm.

"Then say my greetings and my apologies to you." Arisa then passed by putting on her trademark smile. Zain was increasingly sad to see Arisa's departure from there. He misses the beautiful girl who left him suddenly. He made use of today's agreement with Pratama's company so that he met with Arisa and let go of his longing despite only seeing her face and smile without being able to go any further.

. At the same time, Raisa who had to undergo a survey because of the cooperation contract between the company Artaris and Fariz mall, requires the two to meet and return face to face. Here, Raisa continues to avoid contact with Fariz who had been stealing glances at her. He still feels claustrophobic because of Fariz's words last night.

Amidst their discussion, Raisa realized that the Vienna that accompanied her was now unhealthy. Seen from her slightly pale face and her pretty eyes. Seeing the condition of Vienna, Raisa got a chance to speed up their meeting. Before actually leaving, Raisa chose to go to the toilet because she felt she could not hold the dew on her eyelids. Raisa stared flatly at the reflection of her face in the mirror.

"What is similar? Me and Aris are different." He said slowly and tried to control himself.

"Calm Rais. Now Fariz is just your coworker." He said it again with a little bit of spirit. After that, Raisa returned to the meeting place casually. However, as he walked closer, his body pegged for a moment as he watched Fariz embrace Vienna from the side attentively. Not feeling the dew that he had been hiding from earlier, now flowing profusely on his cheeks. He turned around and called his assistant to pick up Vienna. His heart was completely broken and he thought that Fariz did have another woman behind him and that was Vienna. Desperate Raisa decides to go somewhere she frequents. And coincidentally, he met Arisa who was both calming down. But Raisa's anger was increasing, so she did not consciously cry in front of Arisa.
