. With his efforts to persuade Tio, Arisa was finally allowed to leave for Bandung today. But before he left, he intended to see Seina in the hospital first.

Arriving at the room, Arisa immediately approached Sonya who was sitting with Rayyan with a loud sob.

"Risa.." call Sonya still sobbing.

"Why is this mother?" Arisa asked panicked when she saw Seina being treated by a doctor.

"You. It's because of you. Why does my sister always want to see you?" Rayyan interrupted by pointing at Arisa's face.

"Aray.. i...."

"What huh? Why do you always leave when you know my sister really wants you to stay. Why don't you understand Risa?" Rayyan's voice was still high, and this time she grabbed Arisa's shoulder hard.

"Arays. Stop the. You should also understand that Risa is busy." Sonya tried to break up.

"And why do you always defend her? He's getting more and more excited later."

"Aray. I'm sorry if I made Seina..."

"Yes. You did make Seina very ill from missing you. If word of your death had spread, you shouldn't have come back."

"Aray!" Sonya sternly moved and was as surprised as Arisa. Arisa who did not believe that Rayyan could say so, immediately brushed off Rayyan's hand with a heart of grief. But Rayyan held back Arisa's steps so as not to leave.

"Where else are you going? Didn't I tell you to stay here?"

"Take off me fucking." He firmly dropped the tears on his cheeks. Slowly Rayyan let go of Arisa's hand, looking so pitiful.

"Risa... Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"You hate me, don't you? You want me to go again, right? I will obey your wishes. After this, I'll make sure you never see me and hear from me again. Let's just say the Arisa you know is dead." After spouting those words, Arisa immediately ran while wiping her tears that kept coming out.

"Mother did I say the wrong thing?" Rayyan looked worried.

"Think about it yourself. If you love her, tell her you love her. If you hate him, tell him you hate him. This is not Aray. The heart of the woman is fragile. You want him to stay here. But it was you who told him to leave. Now go after him and explain everything. Don't be naive Aray. Mother never taught you to behave like that. Be firm. Or you'll lose her completely again." Rayyan was silent at Sonya's advice. He took a deep breath and slowly breathed it out. Then he rushed after Arisa who might not have been far away. But while in the parking lot, just before he entered the car, he saw Tio's car driving past him. And soon Rayyan came in and drove her car to follow where Arisa was going. Several times he was about to overtake, but there was always a car in the opposite direction.

Arriving at the airport, Rayyan again grabbed Arisa's hand. She was so shocked that Arisa was still crying.

"Risa I'm sorry. But I can't reveal that I want you to stay. With me, with Seina."

"Your words are different Aray. You obviously wanted my absence. And now you want my presence. I'm sorry I couldn't accept your request. And I'm sorry I couldn't come to your show." Said Arisa slowly releasing Rayyan's grasp, then she passed quickly away from Rayyan who was about to follow but was detained by Tio.

"Sister. please help persuade Risa."

"I'm disappointed in you Rayyan. I thought you really loved my sister, but you didn't."

"Sister. I mean, it's not like that. I mean I just want Risa to stay here like she used to."

"You think I'm a stupid human being who doesn't understand what you're saying? Aris never cried again, and now you make her cry. I'm really disappointed in you." Tio turned around with his face so cold. Very different than usual. Looking at the sisters who left him, Rayyan grabbed her rough hair. It seemed to have suddenly lost its direction. The sister who was dying, the beloved girl left, and the man she had already considered her own brother had already been disappointed in her.

. In short, it was night Arisa arrived at Bandung airport, she immediately headed for Sarah's residence.

"Ju... Where's mom?" Arisa asked as she got off the taxi in front of the gate.

"It's in the non." Juna replied politely. Arisa immediately ran towards the house. He knocked on the door while panting. And before long, the door opened revealing Reza with her flat face.

"Sister. mother-"

"Mother is not. Was busy. He doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone." Reza replied in a cold tone.

"But brother..."

"Mother gave me a message so you wouldn't stay here anymore." Like a lightning bolt, Arisa was staring at Reza's speech that felt unexpected.

"Sister. Mother is impossible..."

"That's possible. Because you're not your mother's daughter." Again, it feels like the stitches in Arisa's chest feel sore slashed. Her tears came back after a few hours of drying up.

Then Arisa continues her steps immediately go and meet Juna at the front post.

"Where's the hell is the hell you going?" Ask Juna to be surprised.

"Ju.. take care of mom. I'll stay at the apartment from tonight." Arisa replied with tears in her eyes.

"But why miss?"

"Mother doesn't want to see me Ju.." now her tears broke after saying that.

"Miss there's a problem with Miss Sarah?" Arisa shook her head in response and she looked back at the door that Reza was still there. Obviously Reza wants to make sure of his departure.

"Yes to Ju. I'm leaving now." Juna looked confused at this moment. What's he supposed to do? Follow where Arisa goes or stay there to obey Arisa's will. When Juna turned to the door, Juna found a call from Reza, and he quickly approached Reza.

"Ju. Make sure he's okay." Reza said with a sudden look. Juna just said it. He then follows Arisa who has passed by taxi.

Shortly after Juna passes, Sarah approaches Reza who is still in the doorway.

"Who's Za?" Sarah asked, looking over.

"Nobody mother." Reza said, throwing a smile.

"Mother thought Princess. Where the hell is he? Why haven't you come home. There is nothing in his apartment. And when the mother called Tio, it turns out the Princess has been to Bandung. Mother's worried about Za." Said Sarah sitting languidly on the porch chair. She stared fixedly at her small garden which is usually at this hour, Arisa always looked at the sky in her own garden chair.

"You're not hiding anything from your mother, are you Za?" Reza was shocked to hear Sarah's question. Suddenly nervous, how do you explain it?

"It's mother's night. Sleep time. Reza's sure the Princess is fine." Reza said, switching the conversation.

"Mother won't be angry if you're honest Za."

"Mother.it's already night. The night wind is not good for your health." Right after saying that sentence, a rumbling sound sounded indicating it was going to rain. And at that moment, Reza suddenly worried about Arisa. For some reason, it feels afraid if Arisa gets rained when she herself sees Arisa entering a taxi.

"want to rain mother.let's go in." Take Reza again to persuade Sarah.

"Mother is afraid Princess Za's rain."

"Mother! Don't think about the kid. Why do you always care about him when he easily forgets mother. She's not your real child, after all. He's Yugito's son. The one who made you suffer." Reza was so loud that she squealed her ears.

"Why is your tone higher than that of Mother Za?" Slightly Sarah held tightness in her chest.

"Ma-sorry mother. But Reza please don't think about the Princess anymore. And Reza will tell him to return to Jakarta and relinquish his position as president."

"So right, there's something you're hiding from your mother." Sarah moved and looked Reza in the eye for a moment and finally she entered the house with tears that broke but her face was still calm.

"Mother loves Princess not because in her body there is Nadhira, but mother loves her because we complement each other. The mother who lost a daughter, and the Princess who needed a mother's affection." Sarah stopped for a moment and then passed. Reza felt more guilty for what he had told Arisa that was far from reality.

And when he was about to enter the car, it rained heavily. Reza immediately enters and starts the car driving towards Arisa's apartment.

. In the park, Arisa walks slowly down the corner of the pond and stares fixedly at the fish that began to be invisible due to the swift rain. He cried even without a sound. Expecting the feeling of her tightness to disappear, but even more painful. Arisa hugged herself pitifully. A loving parent, a lover who doesn't expect it anymore, and now the only place home doesn't want her presence. Her crying subsided when an umbrella protected her from the rain.

"It's not good for a girl to cry these nights. What else is raining." Said a man who had not the slightest thought of his presence by Arisa.

"Sir Rega." whined Arisa who immediately hugged Rega tightly. Rega who was shocked seemed to feel the sadness of Arisa.

"Put-. emmm already. Don't cry." Rega gently rubbed Arisa's head to calm down. Hearing her, Arisa even more loudly cried. And it was clearly seen by Rayyan who followed Arisa to Bandung. He left his body in the rain and his chest felt so tight to see the scene that stabbed his heart brutally.

. At the same time, Reza reached Arisa's apartment, knocking on the door several times, but there was no answer. And he knocks at Zain's door, and before long, the door opens and reveals the lethargic Zain.

"What's? You missing me?" Ask Zain silly.

"Whose daughter?" Ask Reza directly.

"Huh? The princess? Is he here?" Zain was no less surprised. Because after all, Arisa's not here. The door was locked and there was no trace.
