. "Rais... Why are you?" Arisa asks who is suddenly worried, but Raisa is seen avoiding Arisa.

"Why Aris? Why do you always take away my happiness? Not only you, your close friends also equally destroy my feelings. You took Tio's love, then Rayyan's love, and now your friend took Fariz's brother away from me. Is this your plan? What's wrong with you, Aris?" Arisa is sculpting and does not know the meaning of Raisa. He was still amazed and wondered what really happened.

"Rose..."

"Why don't I just die. That way I won't compete with any woman including you. I sacrificed my feelings for Rayyan to make you happy. I cancelled my marriage to Rayyan when I wanted her so badly, and it was because of you. But, you and your close friend destroyed all my efforts and sacrifices. If you're vengeful for me, don't do this. Just kill me!"

"What are you talking about Rais. I really don't understand. Why do you blame me? Or is it in your heart? You don't want to compete with me? Who wants to compete with you, huh? We are brothers. If Aray loves me it's not my fault. I love Rama, and you know that a long time ago. If you want to be with Aray, it's your fault that you didn't continue your marriage with him. With me out of the house, it's obvious I'm giving you a chance to unite. And when I'm gone, you're looking for me. And now that I'm back, you blame me? Who wants to come back here, huh? Not just you, but I'm more depressed living in a family that never loved me." Reply Arisa with a voice higher than Raisa. He was no less emotional to hear the words of Raisa who clearly wanted her departure.

"Sorry Rais. I gave up Aray for you. But now, I'm going to be selfish. I'm not letting Aray go anytime. Because I love her." Said later. Then Arisa turned around and decided to return to Pratama's office.

When she returned, Arisa immediately continued her work that had piled up because yesterday did not enter. Finished making the report, he rushed into Rayyan's room with some files in his hands.

"Sign now, I'm waiting for you." Said Arisa in a thin tone while putting the file on Rayyan's desk. Rayyan who felt astonished because of the change in Arisa's attitude narrowed her eyes.

"You're angry?" But Arisa is reluctant to answer Rayyan's questions and chooses silence by standing next to the guest chair.

"Risa. come here." Arisa glanced for a moment and did not respond to Rayyan's orders.

"I'm your boss here, if you don't hear me then..." Rayyan did not continue her words because Arisa suddenly approached her with a face that suddenly panicked. He did not know that Arisa suddenly thought of his father's shares now in his hands. If he is fired, his father will go bankrupt. But Arisa herself does not know that it is only the reason for Tio's wits to get Arisa and Rayyan back close.

When Arisa was standing next to Rayyan, Rayyan quickly pulled Arisa's hand until she accidentally kissed Rayyan's forehead. Rayyan who was happy also returned Arisa's kiss on her forehead.

"If there's a problem, tell me. I am not a stranger in your life. I'm your future husband. If you shut up and cover up your problems like this, I feel like you don't need me and I doubt how you feel." And hearing that, Arisa suddenly burst into tears. It felt like all his burden was overflowing for a moment. What's more when Rayyan tightly hugged him and stroked his head to calm down. She said nothing and let Arisa cry in her arms.

"Why do I live Aray.." lirih Arisa makes Rayyan wide-eyed and surprised why Arisa spoke so?

"If I had died, maybe Rais would have been happy living with you." The following further astonished Rayyan.

"Risa. Me here. It's already."

Rayyan, who did not want to add to Arisa's sadness, chose to let her calm down in her arms. It was indeed soothing until Arisa's cry subsided slowly.

. Just as Arisa was about to prepare to return home, Daffa suddenly told her about Vienna's current condition. Known for Vienna's growing pains, Dimas decided to treat Vienna at his clinic. Arisa frantically invites Rayyan to meet Vienna and asks Daffa to come with her as well.

Arriving at the clinic, Arisa immediately grabbed Vienna who was asleep with the infusion stuck in her left hand.

"Vienna.." call Arisa slowly. Vienna slowly opened her eyes and glanced towards Arisa who was looking at her with concern.

"Aris... How do you know I'm here?" Ask Vienna is not less slow. Arisa grew increasingly anxious to hear the sound of Vienna being so weak.

"Dim.. Vienna why Dim?" Arisa asked turned to look at Dimas behind her.

"Vienna..." Dimas hesitated to answer Arisa's question until he hung up his answer making Arisa more worried.

"Dim.." Arisa's whining is getting upset.

"His blood dropped dramatically, and his high fever forced Vienna to undergo intensive treatment."

"Vienna. I told you not to stay up. Keep your diet. If this is the case, it's not someone else who feels the pain." ~Arisa.

"Yes sorry Aris..." ~Vienna.

"It's been... Vienna is sick. You even scolded her." Rayyan's words made Arisa turn towards him.

"I'm pissed. He always advised me to take care of my health, but he himself paid no attention to his health." ~Arisa.

"Ohh Win.. You want something? Let me buy you." Daffa speech disperse Dimas reverie. Dimas who was surprised to hear it suddenly turned his head rudely to Daffa.

"Patients are not allowed to eat outside food for some time to come. Because it will affect his health. So you have to understand and not be rash." ~Dimes.

"What harm? Food is the same, right?" ~Daffa.

"I'm his doctor. And who are you?" ~Dimes.

"I.... I.." His tongue suddenly twisted. He did not know what to answer, he did not know what was in his heart. Feelings of love or just a comfortable feeling because of friends for a long time.

"Daf... Why are you? Your face suddenly pale?" Asked Arisa who was about to grab Daffa's face but was quickly restrained by Rayyan.

"Where's his hand going, baby? There's me in front of you...." Rayyan said with a satirical tone that was complemented with a sense of annoyance that stifled his breath because of jealousy.

"It looks like Daffa is sick to Aray." Replied Arisa innocently as if insensitive to Rayyan's annoyance.

"No Aris. I'm fine." Hearing Daffa's reply, Arisa immediately turned to Rayyan who might have understood Daffa's changing attitude.

. Later that night, Raisa, who is focused on completing her work in the room, continues to feel uncomfortable because her phone is constantly ringing. What makes him uncomfortable is not the ringtone, but the person who calls him.

"Hallo." Said slowly.

"Raisa. I want to talk." Said Fariz from across the street, and Raisa only glared to hold tight because of the shadow of the incident earlier this afternoon.

"What do you want to talk about? About our cooperation contract?" ~Raisa.

"I'll pick you up now." He said without answering Raisa's question. Raisa gets even worse when Fariz cuts her phone suddenly. But unknowingly, he immediately looked for clothes that might be polite enough to meet Fariz.

"Is he crazy. Why would you pick me up. I know I'm mad at him." He grumbled to himself.

And not for 10 minutes, I heard Ina knock on Raisa's door and tell her that Fariz was waiting in the living room. Raisa immediately exited the room, and she was astonished when she turned to look at Arisa's quiet room as if there were no residents.

"Aris hasn't come home yet?" Raisa asked who was walking down the stairs with bi Ina behind her.

"Not yet." Answer bi Ina politely.

"Is that so?" Suddenly, Raisa's gaze became sad remembering Arisa's face as she blamed Arisa.

The gaze turned cold as he looked at Fariz's sinless face. Fariz immediately asked for permission from Rahma who had just caught up with Raisa. And as they were about to enter the car, a car entered the yard and stopped right next to Fariz's car. Rayyan came out and opened the door for Arisa. Arisa's eyes look a little swollen, and can be sure Arisa cries for a long time. For a moment Arisa glanced at Raisa, and Raisa was stunned when she found the sharp glances from Arisa.

"I don't know what you think Rais is. You may leave Vienna obviously working with you. If it wasn't for Dimas meeting Vienna at the mall, I don't know what kind of Vienna you left unannounced. Or are you jealous of Fariz's brother who helped Vienna to avoid fainting?" Raisa frowned and lowered her head even though she did not fully understand what Arisa was saying.

"Risa's already..." Rayyan again tried to calm Arisa who was increasingly unable to control herself.

"Aris.." call Rahma from the porch, and soon she pulls Rayyan home leaving a riddle in the heads of Raisa and Fariz. And Fariz, who wanted to straighten out the matter immediately, quickly rushed off to take Raisa somewhere. And Raisa herself doesn't care where she's taken. His mind was in a mess, and his heart was in a mess. Everything looks empty but so tangled. Until they reach a park and Fariz invites Raisa to talk there.

"Raisa... For our future relationship, how will you?" Ask Fariz who goes straight to the core of the problem.

"How's what? It's obvious that you have another." Reply Raisa slightly raised her voice without answering any questions.

"Another woman? Why do you think so?" ~Fariz.

"Haha men are crocodiles. I clearly saw it. Brother cheated on Vienna, right?"

"What are you talking about? Thinking of you as a lover has made me hurt. You never considered me a lover. You just think I'm a friend."
