. "Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?" Rayyan asked who was unsure of Arisa's current condition. Although Arisa insists on convincing Rayyan that she is okay, Arisa's eyes can't lie.

"Currently... Rayyan here?" Rahma asked just as she entered the house and found Rayyan in the living room.

"Why aunt?" Rayyan was no less astonished at Rahma's question as if she thought Rayyan was somewhere else.

"Rais said today there was a meeting with the Pratama company. Auntie thinks you're leading the meeting."

"Ehehehe was actually a aunt. but....." Rayyan deliberately hung her words, she glanced at Arisa and then at Rahma back.

"Rayyan. But, don't abandon your responsibilities just because of trivialities." Instead of taking advice, Rayyan looked even more offended.

"Sorry aunt. But for me Risa it's...."

"Tante understands Rayyan. Fully understand. The responsibility you now leave behind determines you in the future. Aris' health can still be said to be stable. You can see him when the meeting's over, or when your work is all done today." At once Rayyan's eyes sparkled, and she nodded in understanding with what Rahma said. He smiled shyly because he thought Rahma did not like it if she met Arisa.

"Sorry aunt. I'm just worried about Risa, and if she says I'm running away from responsibility, it's very clear. But, if hearing Risa isn't okay, it feels like all my world is meaningless." Hearing this, Rahma smiled faintly and then laughed.

"If you don't have the money to support Aris, it will be even more confusing. You'll think hard how you kept your promise to her father to make Aris happy. Even though you think today's meeting was just a meeting that won't hurt, we don't know the impact of the trivial things you're ignoring on Rayyan. Aunt's advice, you'll have a meeting with your client first. Then, finish your job first. The man is valued for his responsibilities, open from the time you spend with your partner only. Aunty won't stop you from meeting Aris, if your business is done." Again, Rahma insists that Rayyan does not misunderstand.

Suddenly, the look on Rayyan's face became sad, he hesitantly looked back at Rahma's bead that had not turned his attention away from Rayyan. "Sorry aunt. Can I ask you?"

"Please." Rahma answered so kindly.

"Tante has no intention of setting Risa up with another man right?"

However, Rahma glimpsed at Rayyan's question. "Why do you think that?"

"Because of my mistake this seems to make aunty very disappointed."

"No Rayyan. Aunty is not disappointed, perhaps instinctively a mother who has a son. You know Tio yourself. Tio is a hard worker, whatever he does according to the rules. So, when you see another child behaving unlike Tio, it feels like aunty wants to reprimand him. Aunty just wants you not to step Rayyan wrong. Moreover, you'll be a aunt's daughter-in-law." Suddenly, Rayyan got up from her seat and kissed Rahma's hand while throwing a smile and sparkling gaze.

"Then I met aunty. After the meeting, I came back. What's aunty bringing?"

Sarah just shook her head slowly while smiling. "No Rayyan. Auntie doesn't want anything. Just be careful on the road."

"Thank you aunt." His words hurried to leave the residence of the Son's family.

"You're better?" Rahma asked turned to her daughter after making sure Rayyan passed from her residence.

"Get worse ma." Answer it casually.

"Want to see a doctor?" But Arisa shakes her head in response.

"You want to call Dimas?" This time his head was getting faster with his panicked face.

"It's not funny that Rayyan came and then she saw Dimas here. He must be getting angry."

"Still dating is so. Well, if you don't want to see a doctor, you better take a break."

"Yes ma. earlier also I've asked aunt to deliver headache medicine."

"Oh ma.. don't be so. My head is getting dizzy." His protest closed his eyes and fell asleep on the sofa.

"Sleep in the room, Aris..."

"Yes ma.. later."

"Don't later."

"Lazy on it ma..."

"Then in the guest room."

"Ah mama.." although still protesting, but Arisa moved and entered the guest room. Arisa lies down and gazes at the ceiling of the room, she guesses what Rega is doing in the hospital right now.

. "You sure? What if Aris comes here?" Asked Dimas who was doubtful of Rega's request.

"Did my face look like I was joking, Doc?"

"You like Aris, don't you?" Sontak Rega stared at Dimas wistfully.

"Lied if I answered no. The one who was curious at first, made a pact, and skit, instead got me caught up in a feeling that was clearly impossible to reply to."

"I don't know what ever happened to you two. Clearly, it's not that easy to win Aris' heart."

"But, if he's not with Rayyan, just a step away I can get him."

"What do you mean?"

"She once said that I was like your sister."

"Who? The cross? Bede... Says that..."

"Rama. Aris' girlfriend who died was Rama, right?" Rega immediately interrupted quickly silencing Dimas instantly. Now, Dimas just silently looked down, indirectly, he seemed to answer yes.

"No need to be treated anymore, you just need to recover your legs. Often moved so as not to stiff. And the crack in his bones had recovered. So you don't have to worry about getting worse. If you need to use a cane alone while training at least your leg muscles." Dimas said by turning around and turning his back to Rega.

"Yes doc thank you. But, before.... Can I see your sister's photo?" Ask Rega with a hint of doubt. His face turned away and he was not ready if Dimas lectured him or suddenly left because he was offended. Dimas let out a heavy sigh and then turned back to face Rega who was suddenly nervous and panicked.

"Ehehehe doc.. don't get mad. I just want to know, what kind of man makes it hard for the Princess to forget."

"Ihappily." Said Dimas briefly and gave a photo of Rama on his cellphone showing Rama in his hand held by Arisa.

"It's Princess?" The question was thrown just like that when he saw Arisa's face that was so radiant with a cheerful smile leaning on Rama's sweet smiling shoulder staring at the camera.

"Beautiful.. Here the Princess is free from any burden. Suppose I met him in his old version, maybe now I'm more than in love." Inner Rega was amazed by Arisa's current differences.
