. Tio entered the house still holding Arisa.

Every waiter who saw was surprised by that.

"At hand. Let's get down." Tio said stopping in the middle room.

"don't want. I'm gonna carry it up to the room." Manja Arisa is getting tighter hugging Tio's neck.

"What's? Are you not aware? You're heavy Arisa.." whine Tio while loosening her knees.

"I'm not as heavy as I used to be, brother. Now I'm losing my weight to 5 kg." Arisa's complaining a little.

"Huh? 5 kg?" Arisa nodded. "Sister said. Do not delay eating. Why don't you obey? It's like this, right? Don't think that brother's babble sucks. I love you so much, Aris, and don't want this to happen."

"Sutttt already. And it's also impossible for my brother to refuse my request?"

"Request?" Tio frowned

"Take me to the room."

"Arisss.. You want to kill brother? What if my sister's waist is broken? Or a broken leg? Later, so we both fall down the stairs."

"Ahhh. I would love to. Maybe that way, I can meet with Rama." Said Arisa with a happy face and like being fantasized.

"Ariss, stop saying that."

"Ehh? What harm?" Arisa buried her face on Tio's shoulder. But Tio just smiled. When else could I carry Arisa like this. Even now, just hugged Arisa no longer want to. Maybe when she was sick, Arisa did not want to be separated from Tio.

"Sister. I'm going down."

"Eh? Said you wanted to get to the room?"

Arisa shook her head then removed the hand from Tio's neck, and made Tio lower it.

"I feel sorry for my sister. Later if brother's waist is broken, it's not funny a handsome president, but his waist is broken. The girls who idolize brother will be disappointed. And it's possible that Diana's sister is sad." Said Arisa with a hard thinking expression. Tio laughed at Arisa's adorable rant.

"Why are you going to keep being such a bitch?" Tio rattled Arisa's hair in a fit of anxiety.

"Sister.." cried Arisa.

"What's wrong?" Asked the approaching father because of Arisa's scream.

"Nothing." Reply both.

"Have you eaten?" Ask Arisa. Arisa nodded in response to father's question.

"If you don't eat, don't disturb who's eating." Deg Arisa's heart aches.

"Good dad. Sorry." Arisa ran up the stairs. The sound of a door being slammed hard. Tio looked up at the door that was now closed.

"He's getting out of control." Said my father breathing heavily. Tio clenched his hands and then lowered his head in annoyance.

"Two.."

"I'm sorry my dad doesn't have a taste for food." Tio interjected and then passed to his room and closed the door tightly.

Before long, Tio came out with a blanket and bolsters. Run up the stairs and enter Arisa's room.

Tio was surprised when he opened the door to find Arisa covering her mouth with blood continuously dripping onto the floor. His eyes were wide open to see what he had not wanted to see. His blanket and bolster were allowed to fall as he ran.

"What blood is Aris?" Tio quickly grabbed Arisa.

But Arisa just shook her head with an unstoppable nausea. Arisa ran to the bathroom and locked the door.

Tio frantically followed and paced back and forth incoherently in front of the bathroom door. Tio thought maybe it was time for Arisa to explain something to him.

When Arisa came out with a wet face, Tio looked at her angrily.

"What are you hiding?" Arisa was silent. His gaze became sad, there was no cold this time.

"So I didn't know you were sick. At least you tell brother what pain you feel. Don't hold it yourself." Tio immediately hugged Arisa with sobs that she could not bear. Arisa was crying, even harder.

"I don't want to if I tell you about my illness, Raisa will feel what I feel."

"Sister doesn't understand. So you explained it right. Why bring Raisa?" Tio released her embrace from Arisa. It was clear that his face was very pale. Actually it hurts what his sister is hiding.

"Sister promise not to tell mom and dad?" Initially Tio frowned in surprise, but seeing Arisa's facial features and to please her for a while, Tio nodded in agreement.

"I'm a cancer sister." Like being struck by lightning, Tio felt his entire body go limp instantly.

"You're kidding me, right?" Tio collapses and sits limp in front of Arisa. Her tears are getting louder.

"Stadium 3." Lirih Arisa later. That extra word was enough to make Tio frustrated.

"Sister failed to take care of you Aris. Forgive the brother who thinks you're a strong boy. But actually..."

"So don't talk like that. I am so happy to have a sister like you. My sister loves me more than anything. It's my destiny, not brother's fault." Arisa sat down opposite Tio.

"Why didn't you say? If you had told me from the beginning, maybe you'd be cured by now." Arisa shook her head with a smile.

"I don't expect to heal. Getting sick or healed is the same. My mom and dad will not love me. I don't want you to know I'm sick, you'll just notice me." Lirih Arisa's.

"Think about yourself first."

"So don't cry."

"Why do I have a stupid sister like you."

"If I were stupid, I wouldn't be able to bring an Olympic trophy, would I?"

"Don't leave brother." Arisa laughed off making Tio wonder.

"Sister is known to be cold, arrogant, evil, but at home brother is very crybaby." Arisa Ejek.

"If you're sick, are you going to party?" Instantly Arisa's laughter stopped hearing Tio's question.

"Sister can't be sick. I have to take care of my mom and Raisa. If you get sick, I'll be sad."

"What do you think you feel now? You're holding the pain alone."

"Sister promise? Don't tell anyone?" Persuade Arisa.

"Aris.it's a big deal if you don't know. Maybe if you knew, I'd take you to treatment like Raisa used to."

"Don't tell dad. Or I'll get out of the house and never come home."

"Why?"

"I don't want you to worry. And now I'm making my sister cry. I'm sorry." Arisa hugged the head of the sister warmly.

"You love big brother, right?"

"Aris loves her sister very much."

"So, just this time, you think?"

"What?"

"Nobody has friends in America, he's a doctor. We're going there this week." Arisa was surprised then released her embrace.

"But..." Arisa hesitated to answer yes. Some of them want to heal for whatever reason. But the other side, wants him to quickly catch up with Rama.

"So, I'm not going to arrange your college business."

Arisa just fell silent not to say yes and not to refuse.

His head was getting heavier, his eyes were turning more and more. Arisa again collapsed on Tio's lap.

"Arise. Aris?" Tio shook Arisa's body that never woke up. After knowing the truth, Tio grew panicked fearing the unexpected would happen to Arisa.

Amidst the panic, Tio still thought hard to tell her father or not.

Tio laid Arisa on the bed.

His face was completely pale, Tio again could not hold back his tears. Mind fucked. What if the current Arisa suddenly left him alone. Arisa is the only sister she loves.

"How can you keep this a secret from brother." Tio gently stroked Arisa's hair. It turns out that all this time the cause of Arisa fainting, nosebleeds and high heat was not due to fever. But it is because of a serious disease that is sometimes impossible to cure.

All night Tio waited for Arisa and fell asleep on the sofa. Until the morning, Tio was still worried about Arisa who had not woken up.

"Arisa.wake up. It's noon." Said Tio slowly while patting Arisa's cheek slowly. His forehead was wrinkled like it was enduring pain.

"Don't make you worry." Arisa opened her eyes when she heard that sentence.

"What's this brother? I'm fine." Arisa smiled.

"How can you believe you're okay when in reality you're like this."

"It is precisely if the elder brother is like that, all will be suspicious"

The mood was silent for a moment.

"Why doesn't my aunt wake me up?"

"Maybe aunt is busy."

"Sister not working? Don't make me angry." Arisa said out of her sleep.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to take a shower. I'm going to college."

"Why go to college?"

"Because I'm a student."

"I mean brother-"

"I want to live my life properly, brother. If I had only stayed for the reason of illness, I would have been very sorry for wasting my time in vain." That sentence was enough to make Tio speechless.

Arisa passed to the bathroom. Just like a healthy person, Arisa did not show the slightest pain to him.

"Who taught you to be that strong." Said Tio bowing with a feeling of guilt.

"Lord, don't take my sister that fast. I wouldn't be able to lose her, and it would also make me hate my own family." Tio gripped her hair firmly.

. "Hallo." Said Arisa when it was neat and ready to go.

"I'm in front of your house." Rayyan said from a phone call.

"What meda?" Ask Arisa wonder.

"Fetch you."

"But I'll be escorted by brother."

"Let me talk to your sister again."

"But.." hasn't had time to continue, the call has been disconnected. But that doesn't upset Arisa. Even Arisa was worried what if Raisa misunderstood.

Arisa walks out of the room, down the stairs and finds Tio waiting for her.

"Are you ready?" Arisa nodded.

"But you can't have breakfast with you this morning."

"What a hell, brother. Brother to the office. My friend's waiting in front, so you don't have to take me to college."

"Friends?"

"That was yesterday."

"Swork Seno?" Arisa nodded in response.

"Hemmmm so now my sister has a boyfriend." Ejek Tio pinched Arisa's cheek.

"Ihhh brother. I told you he was my friend."

"Yes yeah yeah, maybe it started with a friend, you and her dating."

"That's not gonna happen, brother." Arisa smiled.

Instantly the joke became a heart-wrenching pain.
