. After persuading and receiving funds for the campus, Rayyan finally managed to achieve his plan. Students studying at that hour were asked to gather, and Rayyan selected some of them who had talent. Then Rayyan who had confirmed the hall room was not in use, then he took them to get there.

"What does he really want to do?" Inner Arisa was second-guessing what Rayyan was really planning.

Arriving at the hall, Rayyan stood right in the middle of extending her right hand at Arisa, then her left one snapped a finger, then, and a few moments later the sound of music made the students who participated took their position, because when gathered, Rayyan asked them first about their dance skills. They dance in pairs, and that's when Arisa walks over to Rayyan and discards her nervousness and embarrassment for using the campus facilities. Arisa grabs Rayyan's hand, and the two dance to the music.

"Your kids are still amateurs, baby." Rayyan's eyes make Arisa look embarrassed. "But you don't worry! I'll teach you here. And don't be stiff on your wedding day." Continue with full confidence.

"Will we dance?" Asked Arisa who looked surprised, he did not know that there would be a dance at his wedding.

"There should. I think dance is an expression of romance."

"Hemmm since when did you become a romantic sir?" Now it was Arisa's turn to ask in a tone of ridicule.

"Since I met you. And ever since I realized that I've been in love with you." At once Arisa felt herself drifting and her face flushed hearing Rayyan's confession. He glanced at each student who expressed their feelings here. Arisa suddenly felt her heart blossom, and she felt that today was the happiest day before she officially became a wife.

. A few days later, Tio was powerless with Arisa's silence. So he met his brother and then lectured him at length.

"Actually why are you? You shut me up like this, you don't go to work, and you always avoid me. I'm your brother, and I'm your guardian from you little one. Don't you remember? I'm the one who's almost crazy for looking for you Aris." Hearing Tio's chant, Arisa just smiled cynically and sighed for a moment.

"You still want me to think of you as a sister?" That question only made Tio even more furious.

"Whatchu mean? I'm your brother."

"But you slapped me. Reza never did that to me. Not a bit." Shouted Arisa no less furious than Tio.

"Reza Reza Reza. I'm sick of hearing that guy's name. Did you forget? You're amnesiac because of who, huh?"

Hearing the commotion in Arisa's room, Yugito and Rahma immediately follow and separate the two. Rahma calms Tio down, and Yugito calms Arisa down.

"Sud0ah Tio's. What are you doing? Yell at your sister." Rahma tries to calm Tio down and he pulls Tio a little away from Arisa.

"Aris ma. And keep comparing me to Reza." Upset Tio still felt emotions.

"You are different from Reza's sister." Pekik Arisa reaffirmed.

"Aris is. Don't talk anymore. Or I'll lock you up."

"Try me, dad. I'm not scared. After all, who here opened the door to my room that I've been closing tight." Hearing Arisa's response, Yugito regretted threatening her so.

"But Aris who does not want to be peaceful ma."

"When are you taking me to peace?"

"Aris is already." Tegur Yugito then takes Arisa out of the house. And inside, Rahma was still scolding Tio for her same attitude of not wanting to budge.

. Yugito takes Arisa to a place, where it is made as a place to relieve fatigue for people. Arisa was still silent from earlier and she turned her face out the window. Even after a long time both of them arrived, Arisa did not move a bit from her seat.

"Aris.. You haven't talked to Tio in almost 1 month." Yugito began the conversation.

"Then?" Arisa turned her head with an annoyed glance at the father. "I know Brother Tio must know the whereabouts of mother right? I deliberately didn't invite him to talk because I wanted to know if Brother Tio had the initiative to tell me or not? And in fact he chose silence, yes! In that case, I will also be silent until everything is revealed." Arisa continues to make Yugito a little surprised because Arisa's assumption is true that Tio knows where Sarah and Reza are.

"Arise. If you asked Sarah to stay away from you, would you hate me?" Tanya Yugito this time managed to make Arisa wide-eyed.

"Dad told you to stay away from me? Dad.... arghhh why did you do that? I know I love you so much." Arisa's protest that can't hold back her emotions.

"If you continue to be with Sarah, I don't guarantee you'll love your real mother. I'm afraid you're getting too close to Sarah. Ariane...."

"What's? Dad scared?"

"Aris listen to me first!"

"No-no. I don't wanna hear. I have a heart for Aris. Dad said I love Aris. But I'm keeping mom away from Aris."

"Arise. You still have parents."

"Then what is the role of parents for Aris?" Shouting Arisa now made Yugito shut up for a moment. "Dad was busy with work, mama was busy with Rais. Even now I still feel that my mother loves Rais more, even though she is often with me, but still her attention is focused on Rais alone. The house is not as warm as the mother's house." Arisa is shrieking her ears. Yugito gripped the steering wheel with a troubled heart, Arisa was right, in fact he did not keep his promise that would focus on Arisa completely.

"Do you think he failed?" Lirih Yugito reluctantly turns to Arisa who looks very frustrated.

"Yes. Failed very. Dad ignored me, thought I was pregnant when I was cancer, and he thought I had no honor, and he had a child other than me from another woman. But I can't hate you. There is no trace I can remember. I'm getting married, and I don't have any good memories of you. It's even worse than a child who doesn't have parents." Now Arisa's voice is getting soft he hugged the small pillow in Yugito's car with a very sad feeling.

"Aris..."

"What else? Will you promise me again, or will you promise to take the full role of father? Nevermind father. I don't need Dad's appointment anymore." Yugito only fell silent to the disappointment of his youngest daughter.
