. Reza is still confused and he doesn't intend to talk. It felt like the news was quite shocking and he himself felt disbelief that Arisa was recalling.

"You're serious?" Slowly Reza took off Arisa's embrace. Without even answering, seeing her miserable cries, Reza already knew the answer.

"It turns out that the reality in my memory is all painful. Brother Reza. forgive Aris. Not that Aris wants to snatch Nadhira from brother and mother. If Aris can choose, Aris would rather die."

"No. It's not your fault. Nadhira chose his own path and perhaps it was time for him to leave. Had Nadhira not given her heart to you, perhaps her death would have been in vain. But in this way, there is a thing he never regretted by giving his heart to you. I'm the one you need to forgive Princess. I've hurt you a lot here. If I had listened to your explanation, you probably wouldn't have experienced the tragic events that resulted in your memory loss."

"Aris never blamed sister."

"Then, what made you run away from home huh?" Reza's tone turned into a joking tone, he flicked Arisa's forehead until Arisa herself grimaced in pain.

"It hurts.." he cried again. Maybe because of the effects of Arisa who was upset, plus the flick of Reza's finger was painful, Arisa's cry gets louder and makes Reza suddenly panicked.

"illness?" Tanya Reza blew slowly on Arisa's forehead that could not be calmed.

. From outside Tio who knew about Arisa's apartment from Sarah, saw the door open, he and Seno rushed in and he was struck by Arisa's residence here. Reza is unmitigated to give a luxurious residence to Arisa who is definitely not her biological sister. They had only been half-brothers and it had long since been severed back.

Hearing Arisa crying in her room, Tio immediately approached and she was increasingly surprised to see the scene that squeezed her heart for a moment.

"Sut... has been. ehhh Princess right I've apologized.." said Reza hugged Arisa soothingly.

"The bad brother. Why not take me to Jakarta? Then why my phone never picked up. Continues during the meeting with om Danu, why only brother Zain who came? Brother really hates me."

"That's it. don't keep getting picked up. I'll be hurt."

"Leave it. Brother doesn't care how I'm there either. Brother does not know I am lonely, here I am always scolded for late eating, there I no one reprimands even though I have passed meal time. Here I was scolded for going out at night, there I was no one to look for when I was outside far from home even."

"Tio loves you more than me...."

"In fact not. Brother Tio is the same as dad. He doesn't understand my feelings."

"Don't talk like that. He's willing to come all the way here to find you. Meet the. Don't selfish. He's worried about you."

"I said no. Why doesn't my sister understand? Just let brother Tio look for me. If she cares about me, she should let me stay with my sister and mother."

"Daughter. plissss don't do that."

"Don't know? Mother takes care of me, right?" Reza nodded for a moment while continuing to stare fixedly at Arisa's face. "Mother never slaps me, right?" Again, Reza nodded in response. "But, there.. mama. I want to cry harder."

Tio wiped his already dewy eyelids. Is correct. The truth that Arisa said is true. She can't be the sister Arisa needs. He is now more busy with his family. He never again noticed what made Arisa alone and sad every night.

"Aris. I'm sorry you couldn't take care of you either. Again, and again brother failed to be the figure you expected." Tio's words managed to surprise Arisa and slowly she turned to the owner of the voice behind her.

"Why...why...." Arisa turns to look at Reza, then at Tio alternately.

"I didn't tell him." Reza who noticed Arisa's cynical and sharp gaze towards her.

"Auntie Sarah told my sister that you must be here." Tio's reply made Reza sigh in relief.

"Aris... Why did you leave the house? And why are you..."

"What's for, brother? At home, I felt like I was nobody. And Rayyan, she doesn't love me. Rama, it's clear he's not coming back. So, what exactly is that house called? The building? This apartment is also a building. Or people? Mom and Dad are people too. But I don't feel the real atmosphere of the house there brother." And Tio was speechless hearing Arisa's expression that had a point. Even since Arisa disappeared four years ago, Tio has never stayed at her parents' house again. Even though there is an important event, he never wanted to spend the night in a building where many memories come to Arisa.

Seeing Reza who he thought could make Arisa happy, Tio just smiled bitterly and he turned around to make Seno feel astonished.

"Ehh Tio. Where you going?" Ask Seno. It was enough to make Arisa move from her seat and she immediately approached Tio who was clearly going to leave before her.

"Can Aris ask for one request?" Tanya Arisa stopped Tio's steps.

"I already know Aris. You asked me not to tell my mom and dad, right?" Arisa was silent and lowered. He thought Tio was angry for reluctantly turning around and at least turning his head to show his face to Arisa herself.

"Seno.. let's go home." Tio ignored Arisa and walked away again.

"Aris. Because right now, Tio and I can't monitor you directly. There's still so much I want to tell you. But, one you should know Aris. Not only Tio, I love you too, you're already like my own sister." Seno, who did not know that Arisa had remembered about her, now grabbed Arisa's head and rubbed it slowly.

"Four?" Seno frowned at the face of Arisa who was still smiling.

"Sen... Do you want me to stay?" Shouted Tio from the direction of the front room.

"Yes a minute." Reply Seno was the same as shouting. "Za. please take care of my sister. I believe you." Seno continued without looking at Reza.

"Without you telling me, sir. I'm more worthy of playing a big brother here." And this sentence is enough to make Seno look at him for a moment.

"What do you mean, huh?" Seeing the emotional Seno, Reza just chuckled and could not cover her annoying face.

"Hahaha it's Seno. If he gets upset about the long wait, I'm sure he'll leave you. And you have to go home alone. I'm sorry but I don't intend to take you back to Jakarta." Reza's ejek was full of an aura of hubris.

"Sadly, I don't need your help anyway." Delik Seno then switched runs following Tio. "Oeyyy. Don't leave me fucking." Shouted Seno later.

"Dahhh Aris. Take good care of yourself. If Reza is evil to you don't hesitate to kill him." Shouting Seno again made Arisa laugh and he walked sending Seno away even though he headed for the living room.

"Be careful, brother."

***

The next day, Reza was walking out of the elevator into her room. He thought about the existence of Arisa who is now known to Tio. Although Tio is his biological brother, but he does not guarantee that there will be others who know it again besides Tio.

"Sir. sorry. He said he had made an appointment and he was waiting in the waiting room on the 2nd floor." Clearly secretary. Reza frowned why the 2nd floor waiting room? Isn't that the waiting room used for families only? After all, only Tio and Yugito knew about it. And soon Reza moved regardless of his secretary there. He panicked and kept agitated waiting for the elevator to open.

"Don't let Yugito be his guest." He mumbled softly.

As he opened the door violently, he who was panting stared deeply at the figure sitting down and turned his head towards it. The same face, but it feels foreign.

"Shey?" Said slowly. Hearing Reza's call, Raisa only smiled faintly and did not acknowledge the call.

"Why are you here?" Ask next.

"You know I'm not Aris. Though everyone is always fooled by my face and Aris is almost the same."

"What do you mean?" Raisa moved and she approached Reza who was still standing at the door.

"Sir Reza. Aris came to see you, right?" Tanya Raisa grabbed Reza's suit and continued to touch her spoiledly.

"Sheena. What are you doing?" Reza looked coldly at Raisa

"Why?"

"Where is your dignity as the first daughter of the Son's family?" Obviously Reza said that with a satirical tone.

"Why carry a family name? Don't you hate my family?"

"Then what's your problem?"

"Give me my sister now!" Firmly along with rough Raisa gripped Reza's shirt collar. His gaze was sharp with tears that did not stop breaking. Maybe Raisa misses Arisa a lot right now. And maybe also his heart was broken because again parted with his own twin brother in a way that he thought was very surprising.

"Please let him know if he wants to. I never forced him to stay here. He wants it himself."

"But you didn't forbid it, did you?"

"Why should it be banned? Precisely if his wish is banned, he will get more uncontrollable. Don't you know how Arisa is?"

"If you hadn't brainwashed him, he wouldn't have kept coming back here." His grip grew stronger and Reza's gaze deepened on Raisa's sharp bead that returned her gaze full of anger.

"Are you not thinking? Do you think I brainwashed him or she you've always ignored? Hey Raisa. When she's sick, you don't want to give her your heart? Reflect before you accuse people." Reza forcefully releases Raisa's hand from her shirt. He left Raisa who was sitting in a doldrums crying in the room there.
