. Tio stared and refused to turn to Arisa, her grip slowly released and Arisa was grimacing in pain. He blew his former grip slowly because of the reddening. It felt a little painful and he suddenly returned to being spoiled.


"Look at. I'm throwing a brother at dad." he said, still relieving his wrist pain.


"Ouhhhhh the pain is long lasting. Ihhh brother. I had trouble driving later-" his words stopped as he looked up spoiled and found Tio crying in silence.


"Sister? Wh why? Brother hurt me, but brother cried too? Remember that brother is old." His ejek intends to tease Tio so as not to continue crying in front of him.


"Go Aris. If you are happy with them, go! Brother can't make you happy here. And give my regards to them. If you want to come here, visit! The door of the house will always be open for you. Whether it's my dad's house or mine." Tio said softly while wiping his tears a few times.


"Sister..."


"I'm sorry. From childhood I always made you lonely. And even this big, I can't make you happy."


"Sister don't talk that way.I'm happy that Tio's brother was born to be my brother. Brother always accompanies me when I'm alone, and I don't regret it when you know I'm cancer either. I was afraid that big brother was worried, and chose to keep it to myself. But, after I found out, in fact, my brother fought harder for me to recover. Even going to America was my brother keeping it a secret from my father just to make me feel calm." Hearing Arisa's words, Tio's eyes rounded looking at Arisa's two beads.


"You remember?" And at once, Arisa was no less surprised when she realized that her words made Tio suspicious.


"I-i...."


"Honestly Aris. You. That's all we know. And you remember that?"


"Sister. ahahaha I only read my diary. So maybe it's..."


"No Aris. I know you don't have a diary." Arisa is panicking. He was too careless to hide the truth.


"Aris..look big brother in the eye now!" However Arisa kept turning her face away from Tio who was currently grabbing both of her shoulders with a slight roughness.


"Aris." Her impact made Arisa turn her head and look into Tio's eyes.


"Tell me the truth.!" His words are full of affirmation. Slowly Arisa nodded and looked down again, she did not have more courage if she had to look into her brother's eyes.


"Yes. I remember everything." Answer in a slow tone. Instantly, Tio let out a heavy sigh and he suddenly drowned then hugged Arisa and went back to sobbing. Whether it was a sad or happy cry.


"Don't you say you don't remember?"


"I also don't want to remember brother.." said Arisa by returning Tio's embrace. It feels warm, as warm as ever.


"Why do you remember everything? Is your heart hurting again?"


"Very brother. My heart hurts more after remembering it."


"You stupid Aris. Always not listening to me."


"I'm not stupid. If I'm stupid, there's no way I'm taking home the Olympics, right?" And, Tio was just heartbroken at the familiar answer in his ears. Even the cup he always looked at when he was missing Arisa.


"Where is my beloved sister, huh? You worry me, and you make me unable to eat because your name is on a tombstone. Your beloved car exploded, leaving only a regret for me. You think I'm happy without you, huh?"


"I miss my sister too."


"I'm not saying I miss you stupid."


"Ihhhhh evil."


"Now we go home and celebrate this." Tio took off her embrace and looked at Arisa sparklingly and enthusiastically. But not with Arisa who was shocked and shook her head violently at Tio with a panicked face.


"Don't brother. Please only my brother knows. Pliissss's." Said Arisa with full of supplication.


"Ohhhh you've always been like this. What else is your plan?" But Arisa did not answer, she just turned her face the other way.


"Huft. But if I'm gonna torture yourself, I won't keep it a secret." And Arisa nodded slowly while looking at Tio's face anxiously.


Until the two decide to return home and act ordinary as if nothing happened or show a secret revealed.


. The next day, Arisa is tidying up some of the paper she just picked up from the printer machine. When you want to compose, the sound of footsteps of women stop their activities. He was so interested in guessing who came to this floor besides certain people. And as she stood about to ask for her needs, Arisa stared and her eyes rounded to find a face that was familiar to her.


"Michelle." He had to pretend to forget. When she thought Michelle missed her too and would hug her even though she was amnesiac, she just stared at her flat.


"Sister Arisa. Brother works here?" Arisa nodded slowly while smiling thinly in response. "I heard brother amnesia?" Again, Arisa just nodded slowly.


"Goodoo. That way, I don't have to worry about you taking Rayyan's brother back." 'Deg' his heart was pounding hard. Why was Rayyan taken away? Seize? Whatdoes thatmean? What is Michelle's relationship with her lover. All the questions one by one appeared in Arisa's mind randomly.


"Sorry miss..."


"Ohhh I'm Michelle. We used to meet in America when we were treated for cancer. Wellh maybe brother doesn't remember."


"We used to be close?" Tanya Arisa tries to convince herself that her guess is not true.


"Oh no. Not at all, brother." The answer was getting stifling for Arisa. Michelle may not admit they're close friends.


"And. is there anything I can help you with?" Ask Arisa then. He tries to be friendly so that Michelle does not suspect she has remembered everything.


"I want to meet Rayyan's sister." Michelle replied casually and confidently.


"Have you made an appointment with him?"


"Yet. I just arrived from America, so I haven't had time to make an appointment."


"It's a pity miss, Mr. Rayyan is having a meeting with some clients from another company."


"really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"


"liying? Why would I lie? And what's in it for me to lie to you?" Michelle was silent with the word Arisa's slap so relaxed.


"Yes... Could it be that my brother is jealous because I am his lover?" Arisa is again surprised by the statement that just came from Michelle's sweet lips.


"Sorry miss. As far as I know the master's lover was the girl who four years ago allegedly died and said the girl had not died, she was found by the master himself. And I heard that a few days ago, the master proposed to her. And maybe in the near future the master will have his wedding. Very lucky for that girl. And miss is very sorry. Confessing lover, but not actually." Said Arisa kindly but every word was full of affirmation that Rayyan only belongs to her. Michelle's eyes were rounded with courage she stared intently at Arisa who looked so relaxed.


"Why? Miss stared at me until so." Arisa turns to approach Michelle and now stands opposite Michelle.


"How are you, Marcel?" Arisa asked next by whispering directly into Michelle's ear. It was enough to make Michelle grow wide and she immediately moved away from Arisa.


"You-you..so all this time you've been pretending?"


"Pretend what do you mean, miss? I don't understand." Arisa's reply looked so relaxed. And before long, the sound of footsteps approaching, Michelle turned her head and she smiled sinisterly planning something that might prove her suspicion.


"Sister Rayyan." he said spoiled who immediately slipped on Rayyan's arm. "Look at. You must be jealous I'm so close to Rayyan's sister." Inner Michelle.


"Michelle.. release." Rayyan's words look so uncomfortable. Arisa only refrained from laughing in front of them at this time, and that was seen by Daffa who was right behind Rayyan.


"Risa.." call Rayyan until Arisa turns her head and looks at her.


"Yes sir? Can I help you?" This time it was Daffa who tried to stifle laughter because of Arisa.


"Risa I want to talk." Firmly but not make Arisa feel afraid or threatened with a different tone of speech Rayyan.


"You better solve your problems with your girlfriend. From earlier this young lady kept asking for the whereabouts of the master and she even slandered me, she said I hid the master because I was considered the mistress of the master. I haven't worked here for a month. After all, all of my movements were monitored by CCTV and the assistant master himself. Yes, Mr. Daffa." Reveal it at length by turning to look at Daffa who immediately stopped laughing.


"I-iya's right. And coincidentally, Risa's my future wife. So how could he dare to tease this extremely cold master Rayyan for being left for dead by his lover." Daffa replied, unaware of Rayyan's strong fist beside her body. Perhaps the punch could at any time float on Daffa's face.


"Oh yes sir. Didn't you have an appointment with Miss Clara at this hour? Aihhh sir shouldn't forget about your date schedule." Arisa's words again made Daffa really unable to hold back her laughter.


"Then, excuse me sir. Please enjoy your time with your BOYFRIEND." Arisa's next speech that immediately passed by holding Daffa's hand away from the presence of Rayyan who had been holding back her emotions since earlier.


What's more, hearing the laughter of the two increasingly made Rayyan furious. He forcefully let go of Michelle's hand and turned to enter her room still holding a temper tantrum.


"Sister Ray-" he said came to a halt as Rayyan violently closed the door.


Rayyan slammed whatever was on the table and scattered.


"Arghhhh what do you want Risa? You turned the necklace around when Oma had truly blessed us. And now? Arggghhh" shouted Rayyan completely frustrated.


Who knows, in the elevator, Arisa was sobbing in Daffa's arms and could not be calmed.
