. "Already brother. If you don't love me, just tell me now. So I don't expect more from brother."

"Wish more you said? Wish more what if only consider friends?"

"Who thinks brother's a friend? Didn't you see me all this time? But my own brother is the truth, right?"

"If I don't consider you a lover, and if I had another woman like you said, there's no way I would have prepared all my intentions to propose to you. And you're the one who made me feel like I had to step back and have no hope." Raisa suddenly pegged to find a surprising speech from Fariz.

"Do you think I'll believe it? All this time I waited for you to come propose to me, but where? Just bullshit I got. And now, brother said he'd propose to me? Don't make me laugh." He said with tears coming back that he could not stand.

"I don't know why you think I don't think you exist. And I don't know-" either"

"You told Fabian I was just your friend." Raisa frowned trying to digest Fariz's words. Why was Fabian brought in in trouble?

"Fa-Fabian?"

"Yes Fabian. Yesterday you said I was just a friend to you."

"Aren't you there? Why don't you come see me?"

"I'll be able to greet you. But my intentions are gone along with my broken heart at your confession."

"Did you leave immediately?" Now it was Fariz's turn to frown upon Raisa's question.

"Yes, right? Because if you're there and you hear all of my words, you can't misunderstand me and get mad at me like this."

"Misunderstand it?"

"Already Brother. Brother is just looking for an excuse to part with me right? It's just that I've been waiting for my brother all this time, in fact, you've never been serious with me." Hearing that, Fariz laughed in frustration and he immediately pulled out a jewelry box from his pants pocket.

"Absolutely you said? Then, you know what this means? I've prepared it, but you?"

"I told you that my brother only misunderstood. You stupid man. You shouldn't have left yet. Listen to it." Whining Raisa by banging Fariz's arms and chest while crying and making Fariz anxious. She immediately hugged Raisa and let her beloved girl cry in her arms.

"You're stupid too. To think I had another woman, but to love you I had enough. And who is Vienna? You call it my affair."

"Sister lied. There's no way you don't know Vienna. She's a friend of Aris, the woman who accompanied me to my sister's mall."

"Aihhhhh that sick? So you didn't come back because you were jealous?"

"Obviously I'm jealous. Brother is so gentle with her like being with me who is always gentle."

"He wanted to faint Raisa. And I'm worried what if he gets worse. It was fortunate that the doctor who knew him happened to be there so he rushed the girl to the clinic." It was clear that Fariz was reluctant to take off her embrace from Raisa.

"So I misunderstood?" Raisa asked innocently looking up and stared flatly at Fariz who was glaring at her making.

"Why brother sucks.." his whine came back crying loudly.

"Aihhh you're blaming me? And why are you crying so hard? Hey Raisa. ouhhhh later I guess nothing. Don't cry." Fariz's words calmed down with a sudden agitation of his own.

"Why do I have a stupid boyfriend like a big brother."

"In that case, I'm not the only fool. You're also stupid for being my girlfriend."

"I hate you, brother."

"I hurt Raisa."

"hate. Just hate..."

"But what if we live together? You can hate me every day."

"What does that mean?"

"Ishh don't pretend not to know."

"Sister proposed to me?"

"Sheenaaa....."

"Yes yes I want to."

"really? Seriously?" Raisa nods when Fariz takes off her embrace and she then pairs a diamond ring onto Raisa's ring finger. Raisa then hugged Fariz back tightly and now cried.

"I hate you, brother." She hugged Fariz.

"But I love you so much." Reply Fariz then stroked Raisa's beautiful hair and slowly made them face to face. Fariz patted slowly on Raisa's cheek in dismay and grabbed her sweet lips. Raisa who may have first done it just pecked to find a kiss on her lips.

. More and more days, the condition and situation of the Son's residence began to improve and feel back to how it used to be. Both were treated fairly by both parents. Though unable to remember anything, Arisa can still feel the happiness she lost for years.

His curiosity grew bigger when he found a blue map that was already dusty. Slowly he opened it and his eyes rounded as he read every word of the medical record that perhaps only he knew at the time.

"Stage 3 liver cancer? Hath it? And... were these stitches not because of the same accident that made me amnesiac?." she grabbed his chest.

And suddenly all the memories of the past pop up like a neatly played movie. From his encounter with Rama, to his loss for all eternity. And when he was ignored by Rahma until he suffered from severe stomach disease due to never maintaining a diet. Then, a complicated love story between himself and Rayyan, and even Fabio who had become part of his life. Arisa instantly collapsed and sat languidly beside the bed with her knees hugged.

"Why should I remember? Why God? I am happy with the loss of my memory. Why are you giving it back now? If I may ask, I want Rama more than this memory." His cry broke out instantly as his heart felt sliced from the loss of Rama. He felt the feeling that had been lost on the deceased figure returned suddenly. Although now he has a lover, but it cannot be denied that he was so expecting the presence of Rama than Rayyan. His heart grew even more aching as his memories with Rama clearly swirled in his head.

Amidst his grief, his phone rang and displayed Rayyan's name in a video call. Soon he cleansed his tear-streaked face to make Rayyan unsuspecting. He deliberately kept his phone away so that his face was not clearly visible.

"Sister princess." Sapa Seina when Arisa has answered the call.

"Hai Sein.." replied Arisa greeting.

"I'm not in court?" Syndir Rayyan who suddenly showed her face.

"Hi the future husband.." Arisa's taunt made Seina shut her mouth in surprise.

"Mother. Sein help ya.." cried Seina by just walking away from Rayyan and put the phone on the table. Rayyan who saw that just laughed with satisfaction and she grabbed her phone revealing her handsome face.

"Honey. What are you doing?" Rayyan asked while styling her messy hair.

"I was.... What is it? Thinking you might." The answer is full of jokes. But it made Rayyan feel surprised.

"You sad?" Rayyan asked lowered Arisa's gaze.

"No... Why?"

"Your voice is different. And your face is crying too? You why? just story.!"

"Ohh. Not Aray. I'm just a little flu. It didn't stop sneezing, and when I cleaned up some files that seemed like a long time ago, there was a lot of dust. So my eyes are sore."

"really? But if there's a problem just tell me. Don't hold it yourself."

"Yes Ram. means Rayyan." Hearing that, Rayyan's face grew gloomy. He tried to remember whose name Arisa was going to be called. And he realized Arisa's call to him just now.

"Tomorrow I will pick you up." said Rayyan to divert the conversation and try to dismiss the negative thoughts.

"Alright sir. I just follow." The answer smiled knot.

"What truth are you hiding behind your sweet smile is Risa?" Inner Rayyan stared in the lover's face meaningfully.

***

. The next morning, as it was said, Rayyan invited Arisa to leave together. And as usual, Arisa coincidentally met with Raisa in front of her room. But this time it was different, Raisa smiled at him even with her puffy eyes. Arisa's small laugh made Raisa feel astonished.

"What are you laughing at?" Raisa asked in annoyance. Arisa simply replied with a headband and pointed at her own eyes.

"Don't insinuate me Aris. I cried a long time. But, you know what? I cry because I'm happy." And Arisa just tilted her head while frowning but did not fade back her smile.

"Sister Fariz proposed to me last night. And he said that soon he would bring his family to propose to me officially." He continued rounding Arisa's eyes for a moment. He looked surprised and delighted at the happy news his twin sister had said.

"Congratulations Rais.I wish you happiness with Brother Fariz." Reveal Arisa while hugging Raisa warmly.

"So, now there's no reason I'm worried about you getting close to Aray" Arisa continued in a mock tone as she let go of her embrace.

"Ohh you're happy not because Fariz and I are going to be together, but because there's no other obstacle as your rivals? But you should also remember Rayyan is my sister-in-law, I can get closer to her after this." Reply Raisa is not less satisfied.

"Ohhhh so you still want to compete with me? Okay. Let's see who-jeez my phone is left behind." He was suddenly shocked and ran back into the room. Raisa who was astonished mixed happily, just laughed a little while going down the stairs.

On the terrace, he met Rayyan who was talking to Yugito.

"Eh sister-in-law. Get Aris, will you?" Ejek Raisa is still laughing.

"Yes my sister-in-law. Where's your sister?"

"The forgetful is taking away what was left behind." The answer is full of jokes.

"Rais.. don't." Tegur Yugito who glanced sharply at Raisa.

"Joking father."

"But what if Aris misunderstands. What's more he's amnesiac, and if he hears you say that, he'll be offended."

"Dad didn't know I remembered everything. Including a different father attitude towards me. Thought I was embarrassing my family and everything that made me feel broken." Arisa's mind stopped behind the door.
