. Fabio pulled his wife's hand away from Arisa. While Reza just followed Arisa's steps back to the car. Along the way, Reza doesn't dare to talk before Arisa starts.

"Put.." call Reza bravely to start the conversation.

"I want to drink brother. Can you car in the mini market?" Arisa interrupts without giving Reza a chance to ask.

"All right." Reza replied by being forced to follow Arisa's will. After seeing the nearest mini market, Reza immediately pulled his car into the available parking area.

"What do you want?" Arisa asked before she actually got out of the car.

"Mineral water only." The answer.

"Wouldn't eat it?"

"No need. You're just." Upon finding that answer, Arisa closed the car door loudly showing her annoyance. Reza closed her eyes in surprise, thinking it would not be so hard for Arisa to close the door.

He keeps watching Arisa from the car. Scared that Arisa ran away again without her knowledge. Reza shook his head slowly when he turned to Arisa's favorite snack purchased earlier.

"This is not eaten yet."

No need to wait long, Arisa looks out of the mini market and immediately runs into the car. Reza looked silly at Arisa who bought so many snacks and drinks. Reza was eager to protest, but he did not want to damage Arisa's current mood. Reza immediately drove his car, and this time the journey was different. Arisa is so joking and occasionally sings to follow the song that she plays herself.

. At the same time, a man was sitting leaning with one hand sticking his phone in his ear. A meaningful smile seemed to be planning something.

"Watch on, don't lose track. Make sure he returns safely. I won't forgive you if he gets hurt." He immediately decided on the call.

"Daughter. I'll keep you in my grasp." He said as he glanced at the photo of Arisa who was laughing with her co-workers. It was clearly an unknown photo.

. In short, Reza has entered the Bandung city area. It feels tired and relieved because their journey smoothly there are no obstacles.

"You changing?" Arisa asked who was worried when she saw Reza who looked exhausted.

"Not to." Reza replied suddenly back to fitness.

"Do not impose. Brother's tired of driving alone, now it's my turn to drive."

"But...."

"Don't worry. I can still. And I'll be careful." Arisa's words are convincing. Despite his doubts, Reza eventually agrees to take turns driving. He swapped seats and let out a long sigh as Arisa started to drive forward her car.

"I miss my old car. Brother Tio said, the car's been destroyed." Arisa smiled softly. But Reza did not want to answer, he instead remembered the condition of Arisa who was full of injuries due to an accident because of her.

"So I'm not sleeping. Poor big brother's eyes until I'm so." Ejek Arisa continued to focus on the street in front of her.

"Obviously my car's chafing." Reza said no less mocking. Reza turned her body to lean back and began to close her eyes. His drowsiness was really unable to bear, Arisa smiled when she glanced at Reza who was sleeping. It felt like he was looking at Tio, and his sense of longing had not disappeared. As a result of his selfishness, he felt sorry for himself.

. Arisa takes her car into the yard. It was seen that Juna was still standing guard in his place, and Sarah was sitting on the terrace chair accompanied by a cup of warm tea. Seeing Arisa get out of the car, Sarah gets up and welcomes Arisa.

"Mother...." Arisa hugged Sarah tightly letting go of her longing. Every time she hugged Sarah, Arisa always thought that Rahma should be like Sarah.

"What am I expecting? Mom just loves Rais. Even if I die, maybe mom won't care." Inner Arisa was still reluctant to let go of her embrace from Sarah.

"Where's your brother?" Sarah asked who was astonished that Arisa was alone.

"Tuhhh. still in the dream." Arisa pointed towards the car.

"Jas. You take a shower, after that eat. Mother make your favorite food." Sarah said, inviting Arisa into the house.

"Ehhhh it's sister how?"

"Leave it. I'll wake up myself." Arisa laughed at Sarah's relaxed response.

"Mother is healed?" Arisa looked at Sarah doubtfully.

"Yes as you can see. Mother is healed."

"Hemm but you look so beautiful today."

"You could have."

"Ehhh I'm serious mom. It's worth it dad's crazy about mom."

"You're careful when you talk." Seeing Sarah's annoyance, Arisa just laughed in excitement. He went to his room and cleaned himself up. After that, he returned to the kitchen in a nightgown.

"Wahhhhh it looks good." Said Arisa who sparkled staring one by one the food presented at the table.

"Well... Have you got your nightgown on?" Sarah asked a little.

"Why indeed?" Arisa asked back with a face that was no less astonished.

"Yes, young people usually come out on Sunday nights."

"Who wants to step on me, huh?" Reza sounded so upset. "Why didn't you wake me?" Again, Reza shouted and now while walking towards Arisa.

"Aaaa motheraaaa. look brother." Arisa who was aware of the danger in front of her. He immediately took refuge behind Sarah in fear.

"Reza.." Sarah's reprimand stopped Reza's prank.

"Mother didn't wake me either." Reza turned to look at Sarah in annoyance.

"You can't wake up." Sarah answered, keeping Reza quiet. He thought for a moment whether he really could not wake up?

"Lied." Reza's protest stared intently at Arisa.

"When did you lie?" Sarah asked again to keep Reza quiet.

Arisa glanced at Sarah who seemed to defend her, she smiled faintly at Reza who relented and chose to leave with a flat face. After making sure Reza really passed and was no longer visible, Arisa laughed out loud as she grabbed her stomach.

"Adduduha..."

"It is."

"No mother.just kidding."

"Now you better eat. You're hungry, aren't you?" Slowly Arisa shook her head while smiling in response to Sarah's question.

"You've eaten? Just keep cooking a lot." Sarah grumpily stared pushyly at all her cooking.

"Not mom. I haven't eaten yet. But, just now on the street I've had a snack."

"Don't eat a lot of snacks. Your diet should be well taken care of. Now you have a big responsibility. So a wise leader needs a healthy body, too." Said Sarah advising while giving dishes and rice to Arisa. Again Arisa can only suppose that the one who says so is no one else. But it should be Rahma, her real mother.

"Did you love me?" Ask Arisa suddenly.

"What is that silly question? Mother should have asked that. Are you sincerely loving your mother or do you want revenge for your mother's wrongdoing that left your mother hurt?" Arisa was silent for a moment. Right, anyone must think this way. But Arisa then shook her head softly while throwing a faint smile at Sarah who was looking at her wistfully.

"Not at all mother. Aris loves you because Aris found what Aris had lost from Aris' life." Said Arisa still smiling but with her eyes lowered.

When the atmosphere was still quiet, Reza's arrival distracted them. Arisa turned her face back because she found Reza who was not wearing clothes.

"Where's your fucking shirt?" Shouted Arisa now turned her back on Reza.

"What did you say? Goddamn it? I'm dropping your job so you want some cleaning service?" Reza's reply sounded closer to Arisa.

"Ehhhh in my office is the most high-ranking. You should have been self-conscious. You want me to lower your job?"

"Have... Do you want to eat or fight?" Beware Sarah by breaking the table. Arisa and Reza are silent with each intimidating. The cynical glance again made Sarah hit the table a second time. The two began to eat with a gripping atmosphere of Sarah who did not turn her eyes away from them.

. Until nightfall, Arisa was still quietly outside staring at the sky filled with stars. It was used to Reza seeing Arisa who likes to daydream alone outside before going to bed.

"Put. The wind will catch." Take Reza from the doorway.

"So soon, brother. I still miss Rama." Again, the same answer. Reza could only sigh lazily in response to Arisa's habit. He forgets that Arisa has now remembered everything, so it is only natural that his old habits return again. Arisa looks up and squirms slowly before finally approaching Reza who is waiting for her. When the two were about to enter, the sound of a car entering the yard of the house and managed to make them stop and see who the guests who visited these nights. When the car owner got off, Reza just stared at him flat and grew cynical. While Arisa narrowed her eyes trying to guess who the figure that was walking towards her was.

"Good night Princess. Do you remember me?" The question is so formal. Arisa who was wearing a nightgown hid behind Reza and only showed her head.

"He doesn't remember. He's amnesiac. You better go home." Timpal Reza with a very intimidating tone.

"Hey buddy. I just wanted to take your sister out to dinner. We have an appointment. Isn't Princess?" Rega asked turned to look at Arisa who was silent not answering.

"He's eating." Reza glanced cynically at Arisa who turned her eyes away.

"I heard rumors about the goodness of your heart. So, I don't think you're gonna break your promise." Said Rega next with a tone of satire.

"But it wasn't my sister who broke her promise, I didn't let her go with you." Reza Strictly.

"Why indeed? What's wrong?"

"You're crazy." Answer Reza quickly.

"I'm crazy for your sister."

"That's Rega. I know your intention is to approach my sister."

"really? What's it for?"

"No need to say, right?"

"I won't hurt your sister as long as you don't get in my way." Rega's whisper was accompanied by a sly smile that made Reza even more vigilant.
