. Rayyan pulled Arisa's hand into the room prepared for her. The shadows four years ago, which when Arisa was almost destroyed by Rayyan, filled Arisa's mind even more. He immediately stopped and forced his hand.

"Do you still love me?" Rayyan asked without turning her body. He still turned his back to Arisa who was silent did not answer.

"You're silent. And I assume you still love me." Rayyan said later. Arisa immediately wondered why Rayyan was even talking about her feelings.

"No. I don't love you anymore." Said Arisa flatly and casually.

"Lantas, why did you come back to my life?"

"I didn't come into your life."

"Then what does that mean?" Rayyan asked by turning around and directly looking intently at Arisa's eyes. Arisa took a few steps back avoiding the possibility if the incident was repeated. What's more is now that he's right at the end of the bed.

"You have a house, and you have a family, but why did you go to my hotel?" Rayyan asked continuously urging Arisa.

"You don't understand Rayyan." Arisa's rebuttal is beginning to show her desperation.

"How do I understand, while you yourself avoid me. I've been trying to understand what you're going through. Even I was patient when you so easily mentioned Rama's name in front of me. Got to understand how else?" And again, Arisa only fell silent this time by turning her face away.

"Gear me Risa." Immediately Rayyan grabbed Arisa's shoulder and made her face to look into her eyes for a moment and turned back her gaze.

"I said look at me!" Firmly again while forcing Arisa's face back to look at him.

"What's? Untie me. I already have a lover. He's better than you." And, Rayyan slowly loosened her grip until it just slipped away.

"Easy that? Was it all this time, or as long as I was by your side, my presence was meaningless?" Again, Arisa chose to be quiet. Not so, but it's true. His closeness to Rayyan used to be just an escape so he could forget Rama and his illness for a moment before he died. That was the thought that crossed Arisa's mind first. But he is also caught up in his own feelings. But now, everything is fucked. He did not know whether to admit it or not that he still loved the man in front of him.

"So you have a boyfriend?" Rayyan asked nodded her head slowly while turning her face redder.

"And you? Why insist on loving me? You've been dating Clara." Now, it was Arisa's turn to interrogate Rayyan.

"I'm not dating him. You know how Clara is." 'Deg' Arisa flinched and he was still wondering why Rayyan answered so when he was so relaxed with the news circulating. Even hugged Clara, Rayyan did not refuse. That's how Arisa's mind about Rayyan when she saw him on some TV show that accidentally highlighted Rayyan and there is a beautiful girl who never gave up on tempting Rayyan from a long time ago.

"I never turned away from you. Even though I'm close to another woman, all I think about is your face."

"Aray. Please don't go on." Pinta Arisa's a little upset.

"Why Risa? You are too, right?" Arisa did not immediately answer, she sighed for a moment and then exhaled slowly.

"Yes. I am indeed so. Wh why? You want to make fun of me?" Ask in a loud voice.

"Then why do you accept others?" Instead of answering, Rayyan replied to Arisa with a question.

"I just want to forget you." Arisa answered suddenly nervous.

"What?" Rayyan frowned upon finding an unexpected answer. "Ishh Risa. Why use new people to forget old people?" Further.

"I'm not so." Reply Arisa evaded.

"Why do you keep dodging? You think you don't get sick when you're an escape? It's already! Just to me, other people should not feel the same way. If you choose him, love him. If you can't love her, let go. Don't hold something you can't hold."

"Do you know what you know about me? Already Rayyan. You're already dating Clara. Don't talk like you're heartbroken because of me. I know you're just happy to part with me, right?" Now Arisa's voice is rising.

"You think so?" Back, Rayyan frowned to find Arisa's speech.

"Then? Should think how?"

"Forgetit." Rayyan let out a rough sigh and then she walked past Arisa just like that.

"I'm going to have a little party to celebrate the anniversary of Pratama's company. And I formally invite you as President. So, I hope you come. Bring lover. I want to meet him." Rayyan said when her steps stopped not far from Arisa who did not move in the least from her place.

"And I hope you remember how I loved you first, too." Rayyan continued a little slowly.

"If you love me so much, why don't you fight for me like you used to?" Tanya Arisa did not lose slowly.

"You were just with me. Now you're with someone else. I'll just fight, not snatch." Rayyan replied with affirmation and then she came out of Arisa's room.

"Sleep quietly. I'm not gonna bother you. If you need to, don't come out before morning whatever happens." Next, Rayyan said before she actually closed the door tightly.

. The next morning, Arisa rushes out of the room to wait for Reza to let them leave immediately. However, when Arisa opened the room door, she was surprised to find some people standing firmly in front of her.

"Good morning, miss." Say them in unison while bowing respectfully. Arisa just nodded and returned their greeting.

"Master is waiting." Arisa just nodded in understanding. He thought the master in question was Reza. So, Arisa casually followed the bodyguards towards the bottom floor.

He did not realize which floor was pressed by one of them.

When she got out of the elevator, Arisa was like a fool. He looked around like a confused person. Why resto? Last night Reza didn't say he was going to the restaurant. Just as he was about to contact Reza, his intentions were clouded as a hand grabbed his shoulder. He is surprised and tries to withdraw, but Rayyan is too fast, he does not let Arisa stay away from him in the slightest.

"Ra Rayyan." Peeking Arisa could not hide her surprise.

"Where are you, baby?" Rayyan asked so warmly. Very different from last night. Arisa who was still covered in panic could only follow Rayyan's steps. They sat down at a table with some food available. Arisa narrowed as she looked at Rayyan's expanding smile. It felt like when I was in college. Rayyan's sweet treatment and her little attention. Will he be able to get it back? After he shunned Rayyan blatantly.

"Don't go yet. Breakfast first." His words spread Arisa's daydream.

"What are you planning?" Asked Arisa in a cold tone. For a moment Rayyan was silent, she stopped her hands taking food, and then smiled at Arisa.

"What are you talking about? What plan? Which girlfriend is not worried if this beauty goes in a state of not eating. If the stomach acid recurs again how?"

"I'm healed. And I'm not your boyfriend." Again, Arisa said so coldly, and sounded so pressing. It was as if he was insisting that Rayyan should not pretend anymore.

"Whatever you're talking about. What matters is that you have breakfast first. After that please if you want to go." And this time, Arisa according to. He slowly devoured the food in front of him. When he had just a few mouthfuls, he felt that there was something strange in his food. And before long, he grabbed his throat and immediately grabbed the glass and gulped it down. Arisa coughed loudly, and her breathing suddenly tightened. Rayyan moved and immediately grabbed Arisa in a panic.

"Risa... Why are you?" Arisa shook her head violently while continuing to cough and not releasing her hand from the neck. Increasingly, he could not hold back his crying because of the pain that began to make him tormented.

Rayyan panicked even more, without thinking for a second, she immediately carried Arisa. In the midst of his panic, he meets Reza.

"Daughter." Call Reza directly running towards Rayyan. "What are you doing, Princess?"

"We should hurry to the hospital." Rayyan said without answering Reza's question. Despite her annoyance, Reza has no choice but to follow Rayyan to the hospital.

When he arrived, Rayyan was getting more agitated to see Tio who was walking into the main door. He guessed what his fate would be if Tio knew Arisa was like this because of her actions. Immediately he put Arisa to sleep and some officers took her to the examination room.

"Where's the fucking doctor. Why when he needed it he didn't show up." He said with annoyance.

"What did you do to Princess huh." Unable to hold back her patience, Reza clasped Rayyan's shirt collar with a flash of anger on her face.

"I didn't do anything." Rayyan was still panicking.

"Then? Why did the princess get to that?"

"I forgot Risa's egg allergy." Hearing that answer, Reza frowned while letting go of her grasp slowly.

"Ah shit.. His throat must be swollen again." Said Reza who recalled Arisa's condition when she casually served processed eggs for Arisa. Arisa's amnesiac effects, she doesn't know what foods are forbidden for her.

Amidst the restlessness of the two, the voice they were so familiar with and were avoiding, was now greeting and making the two goosebumps.

"What are you guys doing?" Tio asked with his special glance.

"I-i...." Rayyan stammered, to answer only he could not. He could not imagine Tio's anger if he knew his beloved sister was undergoing an examination in the room they were waiting for.

"It's not my fault Tio." Reza's casual words plunged Rayyan.

"I said I forgot." Elak Rayyan tried to defend himself.

"Then, if you forget, it's Princess' fault?"

"That's not what I mean." Again, Rayyan dodged.

"So what do you mean? You already know the Princess is allergic to eggs, you're serving them." Hearing Reza's confession, Tio was wide-eyed and he could not help but hold back his sudden rage.

"Sister.listen first to my explanation." ~Rayyan's.

"What explanation? Are you so angry with my sister that you took revenge this way.?"
