"Mother..when is Sein in oxygen? Wasn't that not?" Rayyan asked shortly after she entered Seina's room. Her voice was slow and so careful that Arisa would not listen.

Sonya takes Rayyan away and talks to each other without Arisa.

"Since you disconnected the call. You think Sein didn't cry out of disappointment? And how could Risa be here? What about Raisa? Mother asked her to come because she thought you were with Raisa."

"Sorry mother. Aray is wrong. And Aray will explain it to Raisa."

"But you see now. Risa's crying because you think she's Raisa. And Sein had doubts about Risa."

"Sister's right, sister's daughter, right?" Tanya Seina hesitated.

"Yes dear. This is princess' sister." Arisa's reply convinced Seina's doubts. Rayyan looked at Arisa who seemed to release her longing for Seina.

"Sein.." called someone so familiar it sounded in Seina's bedroom doorway. Suddenly Rayyan and Sonya turned to the owner of the voice.

It was seen Raisa gasping while holding her chest because of tightness.

"Shey?" Lirih Rayyan immediately turned to Arisa.

"Aris?" Raisa is shocked to find Arisa there. How could? Maybe that's the question that arises in Raisa's mind.

"Even he told Raisa to come too." The spirit of Arisa who refused to show her face to Raisa.

"Sein wants the older sister.." Seina's whine is getting weaker and she slowly sleeps in Arisa's lap.

"Caffeine? You sleeping?" Tanya Arisa started to panic. Several times Arisa shook Seina's body, but never woke up. Rayyan ran and immediately grabbed Seina who was still in Arisa's lap.

"Aray.. quickly bring Sein.." said Sonya who refrains from panicking. Soon Rayyan takes Seina out of her room and is followed by Sonya by leaving Arisa and Raisa.

At the same time, Arisa, who was about to catch up with Rayyan, sat back on the bed because her head was spinning.

"Damn..not again." His mind while forcing his eyes to remain open and kneading his temple.

"You okay?" Raisa asked who was approaching Arisa immediately.

"No-no. I'm fine." Arisa's replying to Raisa's hand.

When Arisa was about to catch up with Rayyan, Raisa quickly pulled her sister's hand until Arisa herself was stopped forcibly.

"You're coming with me." Raisa said in a firm voice.

"You what? Introducing me because I can be here?"

"Aris."

"Talking what else?" Delik Arisa with a lazy sigh.

"Don't you have a speck you want to be able to walk alongside me? I noticed that from a long time ago you always avoided me. What else after I got that disease, you changed. From that day on I felt you were no longer Arisa my sister."

"Yes. I'm not Arisa anymore. It's good that you realize it." Again, Arisa is so indifferent to Raisa.

"Arise. Want to get to when? We're the-"

"What's? The twins? The same? No Raisa. How many times have I told you, we're not the same." Firmly Arisa interrupts quickly then passes first following Sonya.

"Even you and Aray are still as close as ever." Inner Arisa grabbed her chest slowly. It feels painful.

When Arisa stepped foot in the house, Rayyan was waiting for her with several glances at the watch in her hand. Just as Arisa was about to walk back, her hand was pulled suddenly by Raisa from behind.

"Aris will go with me." Raisa said half shouting. And without further ado, Rayyan confirmed Raisa's words. Rayyan enters the car and drives away from home and Arisa who is upset. Without letting go of her hand, Raisa takes Arisa to the car and immediately drives forward before Arisa intends to run away.

"It's not a pathway to Rais' hospital." Arisa protested a little screaming. Suddenly Raisa frowned and immediately turned to Arisa beside her.

"How did you know? Aren't you amnesiac?" Now it was Arisa's turn to be surprised.

"I-I. So I remember a little." Arisa replied with a sudden nervousness.

"Why are you nervous?"

"I-I'm not nervous." Reply Arisa snapped.

"Aris." Raisa was no less snapping making Arisa speechless and turning her face the other way. It made Raisa even more convinced that Arisa had remembered even though only a speck of memory flashed.

Raisa stops her car right in a small park that has a swing under a tree that is now yellowing leaves.

"You remember? Why do you keep turning your face? Is there not a single shred of it, or even a speck of your memory of me? Although you always say we're not the same, but we're twins, real, and impossible if you don't have an inner bond with me. Even if it wasn't, it might just be your ego that won't be confused with me." Raisa grabs both of Arisa's shoulders with a sharp look and she really can't hide her feelings anymore. His regret and disappointment blend into one.

"I never should have lived, I should have died of cancer. That way, I won't feel sadness because I can't be with you. If I'm being honest, I want us to be the way we used to be, where you were always laughing and just being alone with me. We cry together because Tio's brother is always busy himself. Not with now. You're crying because mom and dad are just watching me. And I'm crying because Tio's brother is only on your side." Raisa continued, slowly releasing her hand from Arisa's shoulder, then she cried as she pleased by covering her face. It felt like a hand was warmly embracing her body and Raisa was getting louder and louder.

Arisa's phone rang and she immediately grabbed and with a shocked expression, Arisa shifted her phone screen.

"Ha-hall." Nervous speech.

"Princess. Where'd you? Why just lift? And why are you wearing a private jet? Don't act like a princess. Mother will be worried." Omel Reza without giving a pause for Arisa at least answered one question from him.

"Sorry. I-I have a sudden business." Arisa sounded spoiled.

"What business? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Erush brother."

"You always answer."

"I'll be home after this."

"What time?"

"Hour 5pm."

"Okay, I'll wait on the runway." After saying that, Reza disconnected her phone.

"You want to go again?" Raisa's question is still sobbing softly.

"Yes, it's afternoon."

"Why? House here. Your family's here too? Why are you back there?" Getting those consecutive questions, Arisa just shook her head softly while throwing a forced smile. Whether it's a smile covering the wound or a smile because in fact the house that Raisa means was never the most comfortable place for her.

"Sorry Rais. My house is not here." Said Arisa who immediately turned her back to Raisa with a lowered gaze.

"Where is your house?" Arisa flinched and instantly instantly stared at the two eagle eyes that were so sharp looking at her.

"Don't you know, here everyone is expecting your return?" Tio grabbed Arisa's shoulder which turned her face away from eye contact with her elder sister.

"But mom doesn't." Lirih Arisa accompanied by a clear circle that flowed profusely on her cheeks. His chest hurt when he remembered his mother.

"Who said?" Tio was no less shrewd about throwing his short question.

"Why is my brother here?" Arisa asked again looked up and returned Tio's gaze.

"You think I'm stupid? I heard your voice in Rais' car."

"I forgot.." his whine became spoiled.

Looking at Tio who was stretching out her arms, Raisa immediately ran over and hugged Tio and Arisa while still being as excited.

"You're my brother. Why do you keep crying?" Ejek Arisa also returned his embrace.

"You're quiet. Who do you think I'm crying for?" Reply Raisa turned her face away from Arisa.

"Just keep fighting." Tio said to silence his two younger siblings until no one else spoke.

. "Risa where's mom?" Rayyan asked who was panicking.

"Isn't that with Raisa?" Sonya asked back. He also felt strange because Arisa and Raisa did not come to catch up with them.

"Is there something on the road? Mommy. Aray find them first." Said Rayyan who immediately moved from her seat. When she was about to step up, Sonya reflexively pulled Rayyan's hand and made her not go away.

"Why mother?"

"Don't kid. Mommy thinks, Raisa didn't come here on purpose."

"What does mom mean?" Rayyan asked who could not digest Sonya's words.

"There's no way you don't understand Aray. Besides Risa's memory loss, isn't it because of your relationship with Raisa that made Risa return our family necklace?" And, now Rayyan understood and she fell silent, her sharp gaze now more and more soft and sad justifying what Sonya said.

"But mother... Sein..."

"Don't be selfish Aray. Mommy knows what you expect from Risa's presence now is not just because of Sein. But it's because you want it here, right?" Rayyan lowered her head, again confirming Sonya's words.

"Aray. Mother knows you love Risa very much. And my mother approved it too. But, you're not sure Oma will give you her blessing and Risa if you know Risa has returned the necklace." Sonya now sounded lethargic.

"As long as Oma doesn't know, my relationship with Risa will be fine. And even if Risa already has another lover, I won't give up until there's news of her marriage to another man." Rayyan was suddenly excited. Sonya just stared flatly at Rayyan's very different face on Arisa. Rayyan's gaze and treatment of other girls was very cold, including Raisa.

"What's? That girl dared to return the Pratama family necklace after she was chosen as our family daughter-in-law? How brave of him." Oma Galuh suddenly said that managed to surprise Rayyan and Sonya. The eyes of the mother and child were wide-eyed because they did not expect the presence of Oma Galuh there.
