UNEQUAL

. The next morning, Arisa rushes to prepare breakfast for Rahma. Bi Ina who had even just finished cleaning and was about to cook, was astonished by Arisa's willingness to deal with the kitchen.

"Non? Already awake? I-it's still early in the morning, non. It's only 6 and a half."

"I'm actually bad luck bi. I should have been awake." Hearing Arisa's reply, bi Ina stared at the nanar and could not believe why this child was now so different. In the past, there were sick people, Arisa did not want to know. His own brother and parents.

During the making of food that Arisa wants to provide, there is a noise because some metal objects fall due to Arisa who is not careful.

Until without realizing it, from the dining table looks Yugito and Rahma noticed Arisa who is busy here and there with bi Ina who helps.

"Come in bi." Cetus Arisa when tasting the sauce he made, and then heard laughter from the two made Yugito smile thinly.

"Non Aris is getting married?" Ejek bi Ina while adding some extra seasoning.

"Ehhhh no bi. Rais is not married."

"Yes.it's okay. Non Aris and non Rais are only a few minutes apart."

"Oh? Can it be bi? I don't think I can step over brother."

"Could only. As long as the brother doesn't mind."

"Hemmmm but it doesn't feel polite to go ahead of sister bi. Besides Rais is not married, Reza has no sign of getting married. Reza's brother Aris, too. What's more in Aris' body is Nadhira's heart which is clearly sister and sister Reza's sister and sister Aris too." Hearing Arisa's words, in addition to bi Ina, Rahma and Yugito also felt surprised.

"Aris?" Call Yugito to surprise Arisa.

"D-dad? Since when were mom and dad there?" Ask Arisa nervously.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" With hesitation, Arisa nodded and immediately walked over to her parents. Soon Rahma grabbed Arisa's face, her heart delighted and moved. Although only a guess, but his mind said that Arisa had remembered everything.

"I'm sorry, son. Mama's made you lonely." Rahma.

"Mama's healed? Dad too? Aris make porridge for mom and dad." Arisa's voice shifted the direction of the conversation.

"Are you still angry?" Tanya Yugito stared in Arisa's calm face. Then Arisa shook her head slowly while throwing a faint smile at Yugito.

"No dad. Aris was not angry. It was precisely Aris who wanted to ask so to father and mother. Are you angry at Aris for choosing to stay with Sarah's mother?" Ask with a tone of doubt. Afraid that her mother would feel offended.

"Emmm forget. No need to answer. Sorry for making my mom feel uncomfortable." Arisa threw a smile full of regret. Arisa turns around and resumes her activities with bi Ina. The awkward atmosphere made everyone feel uncomfortable being there.

Towards noon, after finishing cleaning up, Rahma and Yugito simultaneously headed for the dining table. It looks like Raisa has been there still in her pajamas while eating the bread she added chocolate jam.

And before long, followed by Arisa who both still wear pajamas.

"Just up?" Raisa asked Arisa beside her.

"Either. I've been up a long time. And you just saw it." Reply Arisa took the avocado juice that she has served since.

"Please madam. Special from non Aris." Say bi Ina while serving Arisa cuisine.

"Thank you bi." Rahma smiled as bi Ina passed.

"Mama try ya." Arisa nodded expectantly. Her face grew tense as Rahma began to taste her.

"Enak. Learn from where?" Arisa looked so enthusiastic and prepared to answer. However, at that instant, his happiness faded when he remembered that if he mentioned Sarah, the atmosphere would become silent.

"Bi Ina taught me." Arisa replied enthusiastically. Bi Ina who heard it just fell silent. He knew that Arisa was lying. Because this morning it didn't help much. Just add a few herbs to complete the flavor that Arisa makes.

"Oh yes, father. After eating there's something Aris wants to talk about." Said Arisa after a moment of silence.

"alright. I'll wait in my office." Again, Arisa was so enthusiastic and her face was full of happiness. Raisa just stared flat and she was a little curious why Arisa changed so drastically like this.

. This morning, Reza decided to take out after Arisa who never returned. He was worried that something would happen to Arisa. All schedules that have been set must be delayed, some even have to be canceled because of this. When he arrived, Reza rushed towards Yugito's residence. He looked for a moment at Arisa's room and he immediately entered after getting permission from the security. His eyes were on Arisa who was helping Rahma and joking with her mother. Reza was so confused to find a scene that made him understand the reason for Arisa who did not choose to go home yesterday. It looks like Raisa who is ignorant makes the two twins involved in a small quarrel but ends up being a laugh. What a harmonious family. Not yet had time to step foot onto the porch of the house, Reza chose to turn around and preferably leave the Yugito residence.

"Aris. For the thing you want to talk about, can it be delayed until I'm done? Or if you want, just come to the office and wait in Dad's office." Said Yugito who rushed over in a hurry.

"Ma... Aris let's just a minute." Arisa said after making sure Yugito was completely invisible.

"Where are you? What long? With who?" Ask Rahma suddenly possessive.

"Only to the tomb of Rama ma alone, after that maybe directly to the father's office." Reply to Arisa who is slowly moving away from Rahma.

"D-yes." Arisa replied now as if unsure, she chose to speed up her steps and rushed out of the house.

"Somehow I feel Aris is still trying to avoid me." It was Raisa's mind that was staring at Arisa's departure.

At the tomb, Arisa did not expect to meet with Reza. His gaze was sparkling and enthusiastic about approaching Reza, but Reza turned her face as if reluctant to engage in communication with Arisa.

"Sister.." call Arisa who was astonished by Reza's sudden change in attitude.

"What are you doing? Why not tell me brother's here?"

"Here's Princess. Oh I mean Arisa. Don't act like you really care about me." Said Reza who turned her back on Arisa and reluctantly turned around.

"What does brother mean?"

"You're good at deceiving people? Hem's? Was yesterday's amnesia really you pretending?" Arisa frowned, why could Reza ask so.

"Why brother-"

"I'm not your brother. My sister is dead. And you're the killer." Reza who immediately turned around and stared intently at Arisa. 'Deg' Arisa's heart feels really sliced. His chest was tight to find Reza who was so hearty to throw a speech that even a knife was less sharp than Reza's accusations against him. Not felt, Arisa's tears flowed profusely but her gaze was so empty.

"Your false tears will no longer affect me. Just keep your lies and pretenses."

"Why can Reza say that?" Arisa asked softly with a slight tremble.

"reality. If Nadhira hadn't given her heart to you, she might still be alive."

"Who are you? You're not Reza's sister. Where's Reza's sister I know? Where's Reza's sister who loves me?" Slowly Arisa's voice grew higher, she approached Reza and beat her arm violently. "Give me my brother back." he continued to cry even louder.

"The stupid Reza is gone. Along with your betrayal of him." Arisa stopped hitting Reza hearing that sentence.

"Whatchu mean? I never betrayed my sister."

"If you didn't betray me, there's no way you'd make me wait 'cause you said you'd be home by 5 p.m. I waited for you and until night you didn't come back. No messages, no notifications to me. And today, I see you so happy with the family you've been avoiding and complaining about." Arisa increasingly does not understand what Reza said. Obviously he knew that Raisa would talk to Reza if she didn't come home.

"Sister.you misunderstood. Yesterday Raisa the-".

"That's it. Stop defending yourself. Even if you explain, I don't believe it."

"Sister.really I'm not lying. Yesterday Raisa was going to talk to my sister that I'm not going back to Bandung."

"What is your reason for being trustworthy?"

"This is the truth, brother..."

"And you think I believe?"

"Sister.." whined Arisa who no longer knew what to say. Now his mind's fucked up. Disregarding Arisa, Reza passed away leaving Arisa in tears. Reza looked back for a moment. Her little heart felt unbearable to see Arisa who was crying because of her.

Initially, the intention of Arisa who wanted to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Rama and Citra was stopped. He wiped away the tears that kept on rushing. Now his breath was puffed up and he immediately rushed home.

Arriving home, Arisa immediately went down and she walked quickly into the house.

Raisa was amazed at why Arisa had come home. His departure was not yet an hour. What astonished her so much was Arisa's sharp gaze and hurried steps. And the 'plaque' sound of a loud slap so loud was heard. Even Rahma rushed to the family room. He looked to find Raisa who was reaching for the cheek covered with messy hair.

"Arise. You crazy?" Pekik Raisa returned Arisa's gaze no less sharp.

"You are crazy. You're crazy Rais. You're crazy." Reply Arisa with a shout.

"You why Aris? Are you possessed by the spirit of Rama?"

"You hate me? Ha's? Don't do this Rais. I came home because you and brother Tio asked."

"Are you sorry you came home?"

"Not only that, you said you were going to tell Reza, but you didn't call her at all."
