. It was dark, Arisa was still outside staring at every orchid that was blooming. Several times he turned to the phone next to him, but there was no notification. The night is getting late, the tea that was originally warm, has now become cold because it was let stand. The eyelids were heavy, so Arisa decided to go to sleep. He closed the balcony door and lay on the bed and covered his entire body.

"Good sleep." The short message was successfully sent before Arisa completely fell asleep.

Rayyan looked deeper and deeper into her phone screen when the notification reached her. He turned back to look at the balcony Arisa who had been noticed for 1 hour from the outside. Afterwards, Rayyan rushes her car to leave Yugito's residence.

The next morning, Arisa was still sleeping when Rahma entered her room. Arisa is usually late for breakfast.

"Aris. You're not awake yet?"

"Hmmm" was only Arisa's response to her mother's question.

"Are you sick? Your body's warm." Rahma asked while touching Arisa's forehead, neck and arms.

"Just in the wind ma." He answered with a lazy voice.

"And my mom said. Don't stay outside for long. It's gonna catch a cold." Said Rahma clucking annoyed, Arisa's stubborn attitude is difficult to eliminate. Rahma moved and shouted to call bi Ina.

"Bring warm water, a small towel, the same eucalyptus oil ya bi." Rahma's word then after bi Ina appeared. Not long after, Yugito and Raisa come hastily into Arisa's room.

"Aris why? Sick? Going to the doctor?" Yugito frantically groped Arisa's forehead and neck, and Raisa tang was equally worried when she heard her mother tell bi Ina to bring her usual items for the sick.

"Aris just got in the wind Well.."

"Dad make some warm tea."

"Rais there's no cold medicine too Well." His words went back to his room, and Yugito rushed to the kitchen to make a warm tea. Arisa is confused to see the busyness of her family when she is suspected she is sick. After he got up and leaned back, his hands clenched under the blanket with a gloomy and sad look into one.

"Why? Why haven't they been like this before?" His mind was grimacing slowly.

"Why Aris? You pissed?" Rahma asked who was astonished by Arisa's attitude.

"Ma.. tomorrow Aris to Bandung." He said so slowly.

"Do you better be here? Apart from Rais getting married in 2 weeks, everyone in the house wants you here."

"But, Aris has a responsibility ma."

"Why should you be president? The company was given to Sarah and her son. You shouldn't have to be a part of them. You want to be president? Your brother has a branch company. You can be president there. Or do you want some love from mom? It just depends on you. If you want to stay here, Mama will give you what you want." Hearing Rahma's words, Arisa could only bow. To be honest, his heart began to hesitate to leave this house, everything completely changed. He receives the love of Rahma directly and without the ego of either of them. It is clear, although Rahma knew Raisa was worse, but Rahma paid more attention to Arisa. Instead, Raisa is taken care of by bi Ina. However, Raisa herself does not harbor envy, she is more happy because in this way, the possibility of Arisa will start to feel at home without wanting to go anywhere else.

"Mom. I forgot to buy." Say bi Ina who came with the needs requested by Rahma.

"Yes have told Mang Ujang to buy in the front mini market just bi. The lavender one." Bi Ina nodded and immediately returned to ask Mang Ujang to the mini market.

"Rais. Your stitches are still vulnerable." Shouted Rahma who shook her head to see Raisa who seemed to not care about her injuries. Along with Yugito, Raisa rushes ahead and laughs loosely.

"Sorry dad. But Rais goes first."

"That's the danger of Rais. I'm bringing hot water." Tegur Yugito but did not make Raisa afraid in the slightest.

"Hehe. aih said it was warm."

"Yes, but it's a little hot."

After taking the medicine and in the eucalyptus oil on her back, Arisa went back to sleep even though she did not want to, but to neutralize the medicine, she was forced to go back into dreamland.

Looking at Arisa who was asleep, Raisa was already relieved. He said goodbye to Rahma who both came out of Arisa's room. Just as she closed the door, Arisa's phone rang and made her steps stop.

"Isn't who called?" His grunts as he walked back to the nightstand and grabbed Arisa's phone. He sighed lazily when he saw the name on the screen.

"Hallo." He swiped it just after he shifted the green button.

"Risa.. I was sorry but can we not meet for a while. I want to be alone first. And I have a lot of work, so you don't have to see me at the office and you don't have to text." Rayyan said from across without knowing who answered was Raisa. Raisa was annoyed to hear what she had just heard.

"What do you mean?" He held back his anger while walking towards the balcony so that his voice would not disturb Arisa.

"We break." Rayyan replied briefly.

"Why don't you guys just break up huh. Rayyan! You proposed to my sister, and you promised to be with her no matter what. And now you want to break for no reason? Huft my sister is really stupid as it turns out. Why can he be loyal to a bastard like you." Raisa who can't control her emotions anymore. As Rayyan was surprised, she realized that this was not Arisa. Except Raisa.

"You're Raisa? Where's Arisa?" Rayyan asked, turning her tone into panic.

"What good is it that I'm telling you. You don't care about him, do you?"

"No Raisa. Emm I mean, where's Arisa? Why did you answer the phone." Ask Rayyan later.

"My sister is sick. And I hope you don't bother him. It could get worse if my sister meets you."

"Sa-sick? Wh why? Wasn't yesterday okay? Is it because he was outside for a long time last night?" Raisa again frowned on why Rayyan knew the cause of Arisa's fever.

"What do you care? The man who had asked his woman to break, it was just a cowardly man. If you don't want to be together, why don't you just end the relationship?"
