. Vienna drew closer to Daffa, who heard his words. Waiting for what? Thought Daffa for a moment.

"I was waiting for you at the hospital all day, but you didn't come. What's your problem? You said you saw me with Brother Dimas, but why don't you take me home?"

"Why am I bringing home Win's girlfriend?"

"Who's that guy's girlfriend huh? That's why if you eavesdrop on that guy's conversation, listen until it's over. That's what you're going to do, right? Ohhh you're stupid. It's a shame Aris didn't look at you. Ihhhhhhhh." - furious Vienna who hit Daffa's chest with annoyance. Daffa grabbed both of Vienna's hands and he stared fixedly at the black Viennese bead which narrowed slightly due to the rainwater.

"You don't accept his love?" Daffa asked now slightly changed his tone.

"You think?" Delik Vienna, who was already upset with Daffa.

"Answer! Don't you accept Dimas' love?" Daffa asked once more, and Vienna responded by shaking her head and then pulling her hand from Daffa and she hugged herself as she felt cold.

"This is what Daf felt like. But since it might be with you that I spend my time and days, I feel that I don't want to be away from you. I've never been in love, so I don't know if it's love or not. Every time you get close to another girl, it feels like my heart is squeezed, the pain can't be healed just by seeing you smile. Daf I-" her words came to a halt when Daffa suddenly kissed her and hugged her tightly.

"Why did you reveal it first? I should've. Vienna.I love you, not just love. I want you to stay by my side. I hope no one else loves you but me." After saying that sentence, Daffa immediately brought Vienna who was already shivering with coldness.

"Don't leave me Daf." Wiry Vienna with a trembling voice.

"Will not." Answer Daffa by embracing Vienna and going hand in hand.

. Tio who got down from the car with anger was followed by Seno not to act rashly.

"Tio. This is Aris's position that ran away. It wasn't Reza who kidnapped." Said Seno who was ignored by Tio. Tio pressed the doorbell several times until someone opened the gate.

"Who are you looking for, sir?" Ask Mang Asep politely.

"I'm looking for Aunt Sarah. Any?" Reply Tio did not fade his flat and cold gaze.

"But when it's night like this, madam is asleep sir."

"I'd like to meet Aunt Sarah." Firmly Tio grew sharper looking at Asep's mang.

"Separiously sir. Come with me." Said Asep mang with stammering. He remembered Tio's face and who Tio was. So he could not carelessly talk to the ruler who was known to be cold.

Soon Asep makes his way to Reza's study, because he knows his employer hasn't slept at this hour.

"Tio. There's no sign of Aris here." Seno interrupts and grabs Tio's shoulder hoping Tio calms down.

"Who knows Sen. Aris always said that she wanted to stay here instead of at my dad's. Although the truth is that it's quieter here, but my heart hasn't fully accepted them Sen." Reply Tio sighed in a moment.

Before long, Reza appeared with a face that showed curiosity. At first he thought who would be the guest who would visit his house at night like this? However as he knew who his guests were, his face turned flat and completely expressionless.

"You're the one." Said Reza who sat on the sofa of the greatness of the host.

"Where's Aris?" Reza frowned at the sudden question from Tio. Why did Tio ask Arisa to him? Didn't Arisa herself have them picked up to go home? Inner Reza suddenly raged and for a moment he thought if Arisa ran away again? And Tio only knew Arisa was going to run away to her house.

"What do you mean Tio?"

"Don't pretend you don't know Reza. Aris often whines about wanting to stay with you and from noon she doesn't come home. You think I'm stupid? You're the one who brainwashed my sister to want to stay with you, right? Now, where's my sister? Tell me, or I'll make a calculation with you." Reza chuckles at once curious about the existence of Arisa who suddenly disappeared.

"What's so funny?" Timpal Seno asked no less restraining emotions. However, he also considers Arisa as his own sister.

"Please search my house. If necessary, you can check the room that was once his room. His stuff is intact. Please!" Reza moved on and gave way to Tio to immediately move on and see for herself that Arisa was really not there.

"Sir... called the madam immediately." Said the aunt politely withstanding Tio's movements that were about to move away from her seat.

"Mother.." lirih Reza sat on the edge of the bed feeling uneasy. Because Sarah's condition is getting worse and worse.

"Za... How is the Princess? It's okay, right?" Sarah asked in a very quiet voice. Tio was filled to hear Sarah's voice that clearly had no energy. Let alone to walk, to just wake up his body is very weak. Slowly Tio approached Reza and appeared to Sarah clearly. Sarah's eyes widened when she saw the existence of Tio in front of her.

"Tio's? Are you that?" Sarah turned to look at Tio.

"It's me." Tio replied still acting cold.

"Are you coming with the Princess? Where's Princess? Princess.... Where are you, baby? Why not see my mother." Sarah moved and she seemed to suddenly get the energy to call Arisa.

"Mother.. don't move first." reprimanded Reza who immediately grabbed Sarah.

"Zp... Which princess is Za? Isn't Tio here with the Princess?" His eyes were now beginning to glaze over the sharp hope of Reza. But Reza was unable to return Sarah's gaze which might make her drop even more if she knew Arisa wasn't there.

"I came here to find my sister. And auntie don't act like aunt looking for her whereabouts, just tell her where Aris, my sister. Otherwise,-" 'bugh' Tio's speech comes to a halt when a precise hard blow hits Tio's temple until it staggers.

"You crazy? It is clear that my mother and I have not yet met the princess. And you accuse your mother of hiding it? Don't you have Tio's brain? You yourself saw how the mother's condition. There's no way he who misses the Princess should hide it from you. Mother did want to meet the Princess, but to hide it, we realized, determination is not enough to face you." Hearing that, Tio clenched a strong hand and he prepared to avenge Reza's punch.

"Sadly.I also miss Princess. Mother is sick like this also because she misses the Princess. You took him away without a word to mother. And when the mother wants to meet, even though for the last time, you instead throw away the mother as if the mother is a bully of your life. And now, I don't know what's going on, you easily accuse me of hiding the Princess. Remember Tio! Ever since you brought her home, and ever since you kicked me out and my mom back then, I've been unwilling to deal with you anymore. And that's also the reason why the one who met Danu Pratama wasn't me. If I had met Danu back then, the Princess would have met me too." Reza later said. Tio covered part of his face in frustration and he no longer knew what to say. Because to blame Reza and Sarah he had no evidence, Arisa was not there and he did not find any clues.

And immediately Reza remembered Arisa's apartment that he had never visited after Arisa left, he cursed himself for thinking slowly. Why didn't he just think that.

Reza immediately rushed back to his study and he grabbed his jacket and car keys.

"Bi.. please take care of Mommy for a moment." Shouted Reza while continuing to pass out of the house. Just as Tio was about to catch up with Reza, he came to a halt as a hand held him to silence.

"Sorry." Slightly Sarah slowly let go of Tio's hand. "What's wrong with the princess? Did something happen?" Sarah asked with a sad voice and look.

"He's running away." Answer Tio briefly.

"Is he mad at you? Or...."

"He wants to live with aunty. But my mom won't let it. I think that's what got him out of the house."

"Then you think, aunt sure the Princess will only go to one place. He won't put aunt and Reza in trouble."

"Tante knows where he's going?" Tio stared increasingly fixed pale face Sarah who kept the answer to the question from Tio.

"Listen well Tio...." Tio listened to every detail of Sarah's speech that was not too clear because it was a little trembling.

After Sarah tells what she knows, Tio immediately rushes out of Sarah's house and does not forget Seno continues to follow Tio wherever he goes.

. Reza ran towards the door not far from the elevator. The door opened slightly indicating that someone was inside.

"I guessed it." He said with a breath. "Daughter.." call Reza by opening the door and immediately pass to Arisa's room. She found Arisa crying hugging her knees by the bed.

"When was he here? And how long has she been crying?" Inner Reza immediately approached Arisa who continued as hard as if her chest was so tight. Intentions want to scold him for bringing back trouble on him with Tio who suddenly came and accused him, Reza became carried away. He also felt the sadness of Arisa that was clearly so deep.

"Daughter.." - Ogre Reza grabbed Arisa's shoulder slowly. Suddenly, Arisa hugged Reza tightly and her crying broke again.

"Daughter is here." He patted Arisa on the back while calming down.

"Aris remembers." It's enough to make Reza go awry.
