. Michelle resentfully stomped her feet and passed from Rayyan's room which was not open to her in the least. In the loby, he met Arisa who was talking to Daffa but her position turned her back. It seemed that Daffa was aware of Michelle's presence, and he immediately gave way to Arisa respectfully as if showing a very special attitude towards an Arisa Fandhiya. Daffa escorted her in a direction far from Michelle's reach. After making sure Michelle had actually left, Daffa continued to calm down Arisa who was endlessly crying out of jealousy.

"Aris. I just saw you crying jealous like this. You used to be so with Raisa. But you hid it from anyone." Daffa said by staring at the sadness that Arisa felt now.

"Daf. Please schedule it immediately. Please." Arisa said no to Daffa. According to him, Daffa contacted Vienna and asked her to meet at the park they used to frequent. Daffa's face instantly changed as he hung up his phone.

"Daf.. Please apologize to Danu. It's not that I'm disrespectful or out of responsibility, but my job today is done. Maybe the rest later for Rayyan's report and schedule for tomorrow. You're the one taking care of it. I might not come back after meeting with Vienna." Daffa nodded in agreement with Arisa's words even though she felt something was awkward. He just thought that Arisa needed some time alone to calm herself down.

In haste, Arisa rushes towards the promised spot with Vienna. Along the way, he was busy calling some house servants to pack some of his things without his parents' knowledge. Until he reached the park, he immediately ran and immediately embraced Vienna who was waiting for him. Because the park is closer than the office of Artaris, so no wonder Vienna has arrived first.

"Aris... Why are you?" Ask Vienna anxiously.

"Vienna. I remember. I remember everything." He can no longer hide from his best friend.

"You're-you're serious?" Ask Vienna with doubt.

"I'm serious Win. And I'm going to go." Vienna flinched then took off her embrace with an expression so astonished.

"Where else? You want to leave me? Aris... Don't you want me to go back to this town? But why is it that when I'm here, you want to leave instead?"

"There are some things I can't deal with here. One of them is Oma's blessing. And Rayyan doesn't love me anymore." He still sobs loudly.

"No Aris. You must be wrong. Rayyan loves you so much."

"No Win. I saw her hugging Raisa and she also revealed that she loved Raisa, and Raisa was the best. So what do you think that means?"

"Aris.. but...."

"Then you follow me later. If the news of my loss starts to spread, you follow me without anyone's knowledge. Remember that! Don't bring anyone, you meet me at the company in Bandung."

"You want to go to Bandung?"

"Only you know Win. Pliss don't tell anyone."

"Aris. We face. I'll accompany you to face it."

"No Win. If only Rama died, I can still survive here, but. I'm sorry..and once again please keep whatever you know about the truth from anyone." Slowly Arisa moves away from Vienna and her pace quickens when she realizes Vienna is after her.

Arisa stops the taxi and enters it leaving Vienna, who keeps calling her name.

He rushed to the house to bring some necessary items and immediately went to the station. Again, he chose the railway because he thought it would not be easy to track it because the train is not like a plane that will be clearly displayed passenger name.

. "Dw... Risa where? Why is all your work handled?" Strictly Rayyan asked in a clear voice still harboring anger.

"She said there was a sudden need. I didn't ask you for permission." Daffa answered with focus still finishing the remaining work on Arisa's desk before returning home.

"He thinks this company belongs to him? If he's like this, fire him. Take care of everything related to it."

"But Ray-"

"Don't argue. This is my order!" Rayyan firmly stared intently at the two Daffa beads who then looked down without feeling sorry for Rayyan's gaze.

. Later that night, Yugito and Tio, who find a special guest from America, prepare to welcome Marcel and his family. But Tio was surprised why Arisa did not participate. Is he sick again? Or with Rayyan?

Soon Tio rushed to find Arisa to his room and he found no one there. The balcony door is still tightly closed indicating there is no one outside.

When Seno arrives, he immediately asks Arisa to Seno who might know their whereabouts. But Seno does not know about Arisa, even with Rayyan he has rarely met. And anxiously, Seno contacted Rayyan, but the answer was the same. Rayyan's not with Arisa right now.

"Where else is the boy." Tio said softly muttering as he continued to try to call Arisa's number.

"Argghh." He slammed his phone into a mess and managed to surprise everyone in the middle room. The curious Raisa immediately looked for where Arisa was going. He contacted Rayyan and did not find the desired answer.

And at the same time, Rayyan who was waiting for Oma in the hospital, he suddenly worried why Raisa and Seno asked Arisa's whereabouts to him. Since noon, Arisa has not been in the office. He tried to contact Daffa because he thought Daffa knew where Arisa was going.

"He didn't say anything more, Rayyan. He just said he wanted to meet Vienna. She's crying because of you too." Daffa said from across the phone.

"He's jealous. You don't think he's hurt? You should've kept his feelings."

"Cihhh you always blame me."

"Then? Who do you think I should blame? A bayu? The dimas? Or Rama huh?"

"You're quiet... You better find out where Risa's going. Or now you're going to Bandung. I'm sure he'll go there to see Fahreza."

"Find it yourself. Didn't you fire him this afternoon? Why are you looking for him now? I'mtired. I'm gonna take a break. Working day without pause. You gave me more work than usual. Now, if you want to find Aris, go find her yourself wherever you want. She's your future wife, you should have taken care of everything so she wouldn't get mad at you. And you shouldn't delay telling Aris that Oma has clearly approved of you. Butwhat? You didn't even try to convince her, did you?"

"Daf, if you're still talking, I'm really firing you right now." And by holding back the anger, Rayyan turned off her calls leaving a sense of annoyance and anxiety.

"Where else are you Risa?" Rayyan murmured softly while continuing to pacing back and forth. Danu who saw the restlessness of her son approached and asked what made Rayyan this golden.

"Risa daddy. He's running away again." Rayyan panicked.

"Snow? You sure he ran away?"

"Come father. I just concluded. Because Daffa said Risa left because she was jealous of seeing me with Michelle earlier."

"Michelle? Who's she?"

"Juniorku while studying in America. She's Marcel Divandra's sister who used to be Risa's surgeon. Brother Tio and brother Seno." Rayyan. Danu who might have forgotten the figure Rayyan mentioned just nodded slowly.

. The night is getting late, the whole family does not find where Arisa is. Daffa, who only knew that Arisa had met Vienna, came to Vienna and interrogated her.

"Aris said nothing Daf. He just said that he'd leave Rayyan because Rayyan didn't love him." It was clearly Vienna with a face that tried to convince Daffa.

"That doesn't make sense Win. You think I believe?"

"Then? Why are you here if you don't finally believe me?"

"Sadly.I was in vain looking for you."

Vienna frowned, astonished by Daffa's attitude that felt suddenly changed. Even though Daffa was not this rough before when talking to him.

"Daf.. Why are you?"

"What's wrong. Forgetit. Sorry to interrupt." Daffa turned and he hurried away from Vienna. Vienna knew there were other pressures that made Daffa this way.

"Daf. if I make a mistake or offend you, please forgive me. I don't have anyone else if it's not you and Aris. Now Aris is gone and I'm just depending on you." Daffa appeared to have stopped and he slightly turned his face when he heard the Vienna narrative.

"Don't give me hope Win. Now you have a lover. I do love you, but if I have to keep you company, but you're alone with someone else, what does my presence mean?" Vienna gasped to find the expression of Daffa's unexpected heart.

"Why did when I got home from the hospital, you didn't pick me up? Don't you think I waited for you long." Viennese said with his voice held back so that Daffa did not realize he was holding back his tears.

"Hemph... You think I don't know? The doctor expressed his feelings for you, didn't he?" Now Daffa's voice sounded very cold and seemed to pierce the heart of Vienna instantly.

"And why are you angry?" Hearing the question, Daffa turned around and along with it, every drop of rainwater grew increasingly heavy.

"I couldn't watch you with another man any longer." The answer was deeper looking at Vienna, who was now walking towards him and seemed to ignore the cold rain that had made him tremble.

"Why come here? You can't last long with the cold."

"This is nothing compared to your present attitude Daf."

"That's it. Not much drama. I was busy looking for Aris. So you don't have to worry me. Ohhh or did you intentionally get sick again, and get treated by the doctor, your lover? Congratulations yes. May you be happy." Daffa forced his smile and patted Viennese shoulder softly and turned back around.

"You should watch it till it's done shit." The loud cry of Vienna was accompanied by the torrent of rain. "I'm just waiting for you."
