UNEQUAL
29

. It had been a few days since Arisa realized, today some of her classmates visited. One by one entering the room and the other waiting outside to take turns because the limit of people visiting has been determined by the hospital.

But Arisa was astonished why Daffa and Vienna were nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Vienna?" Arisa asks Seno who was the last one to meet Arisa.

Seno was silent before giving a letter.

Arisa touched her chest slowly. "Is this Vienna's?"

"You'd better read it first." Seno calmly sat by Arisa's bedside.

The opening of the letter from the friend, and looks neat handwritten engraving belonging to Vienna.

"Arisa.I may not want to make small talk, but at least I want to thank you for all your kindness. And I'm sorry I couldn't do anything when you were helpless. I wanted to give my heart to you as a sign of my revenge, but your twin sister and Daffa wouldn't allow it. They said you'd be sad. Daffa said, I must succeed to repay all your kindness. So, I decided to quit college and try to pioneer my efforts. I'm sorry I can't talk to you in person. I left while you were still unconscious, and I'm so grateful that you survived the operation that you were so afraid of. Don't call me, I sold my phone. And you don't change your number. Wait for me to call you. And again I'm sorry. Don't you get mad. I'm leaving not that I don't care about you, but I don't want to keep bothering you. Take good care of yourself. Don't forget me. Wait for that day to come, I will accompany you again.-Vienna Indira-"

"Vienna.." - Arisa then covered her face and started sobbing.

"sorry. Brother can't stop it." Said Seno grabbing Arisa's shoulder trying to calm down so Arisa understood.

"He's my best friend, brother. I don't have any friends besides him."

"Many friends. You're the one who always shuts himself down. Try to open yourself up to be closer to others. You don't know the whole campus is busy talking about you. They feel like something's missing when you're not around. They even made a show and prayed together so you'd get well soon."

"really? That's too much. My brother must be lying to me." Arisa opened her hand and wiped the tears that ran down her cheeks.

"You don't see the campus group?" Hearing that, Arisa immediately grabbed her phone. And sure enough there are some messages from the campus group in the form of photos and videos. Arisa opens the video and is shown all her classmates on the basketball court encouraging her. Even Rayyan who is known to be cold looks enthusiastic as if she is excited about her friends. You can be sure after that Rayyan will be alone with an upset face.

"Sister go home first. Quickly recover! Brother's tired of your friends babbling when you go to college."

"Yes, brother."

After Seno leaves, Raisa brings a man to visit Arisa.

"Aris... is it better?" Raisa asked who was sitting on the bed.

"Raisa. Don't be there." Reprove Fariz with a bad face.

"What's wrong. He's a bitch." Arisa threw a smile at Fariz.

"Oh... I'm Fariz. Wh-wh"

"He's my girlfriend." Raisa interrupts, making Fariz unable to speak.

"You said you've already..."

"The name of the ex-boyfriend can certainly be reversed, right?" Raisa interrupted again.

"You're right. While she's alive there's still a chance to be together again." Arisa slightly lowered her head and still threw a smile.

"Aris, I don't mean to remind you of Rama..." Raisa hugs Arisa and rests her head on Arisa's shoulder.

"Not what.it's over. Oh yea. I'm Arisa. You can see, I'm Raisa's twin sister. Though not as pretty as her." Fariz laughed shaking Arisa's hand.

"You guys are so similar. Equally beautiful."

"Don't you also fall in love with her." Sindir Raisa cynically wrapped in a tone of ridicule.

"No. I'm just amazed. God created you so perfectly. Usually, twins like to be opposite. If one is soft, friendly, the other is cynical. But you're both kind, friendly, and unbelievable with the rumor that Arisa's so cold."

"I am so. Only the people closest to me think I'm warm."

"Ahaha yes yes.okay.kid quickly healed sister-in-law. Later brother take a walk in the mall."

"Just walk, brother?" Ask Arisa plain.

"Aris.." infuriated Raisa with annoyance.

"Okay brother tractir. Brother is tired of hearing your brother's ramble on this one. When will Aris come home? When did Aris recover?. But he won't admit that he misses being with you."

"You're ugly brother." Cetus Raisa looked silly at Fariz.

"You said I was ugly. But you want to be my girlfriend."

"Well, there's a guest apparently." Typhoon Tio who came suddenly.

"You must be Fariz." Faris nodded with a smile while shaking Tio's hand.

"Aris.. Has Rayyan told you?" Tio turned to look at Arisa.

"Today has not. What's up?" Arisa looks astonished.

"No. He said he and Daffa would play PS with me today." Tio said slowly.

"WHAT?" yelled Arisa and Raisa together.

"So this brother is old.it should be self-conscious.." Raisa beat up Tio.

"Sick Rais is sick."

"Don't poison Aray into being lazy like a big brother.." Arisa's beating up Tio.

"Aris..why did you beat up sister..."

The door opened, and I saw Dad coming in because he heard a commotion inside.

"What's this?" Ask the father who looks astonished. Instantly Raisa and Arisa pointed at Tio together.

"Tio. don't bother your sister. He's got to rest."

"If you don't bother your sisters, they won't gang up on you either."

"Yes, I was always wrong. That brother is a favorite child. And the eldest brother is just a figure." Sindir Tio glanced cynically at Arisa.

"Dad... Aris is wrong. Don't blame brother." Arisa's voice lowered her gaze.

"Rais is also father..." Raisa lowered her eyes.

Dad shook his head and closed the door again.

Fariz was stunned to find the brotherhood felt touching. Usually the brothers always blame each other so as not to be scolded. But here, Fariz saw something different. Where they blame each other so that no one is scolded by his parents. Fariz stared long at Raisa with a faintly knotted smile, and was seen by Arisa.

"Hemmm... do you want to go?" Arisa asked and Raisa turned to Fariz.

"Em. oh. yeah. ki-we want...." Raisa stammered because she herself did not know where to go. His bond with Fariz today is just pretend.

"To my house." Timpal Fariz's.

"Ohh... Do you want to step over brother? Hey Rais remembers brother and sister Diana is not married. You don't try to get ahead." Tio said with a defiant tone.

"Who told my sister to delay? Look out for being an old virgin." Raisa is no less mocking Tio who is increasingly upset by her making.

"Ehhh... Whose sister are you? Dare to talk like that."

Amidst their jokes, the door again opened and Rayyan entered the room with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"Why white roses?" Tio asked plainly.

"What wrong? I added peach as well" Rayan was astonished.

"Usually to show love is symbolized by a red rose." Obviously Tio.

"Risa doesn't like red roses. Rather than being thrown away, it's better to keep white roses but it's saved, right?" I don't know why Rayyan's glance looks cynical today.

"What's wrong. White roses also mean love. What else does her peach color mean for sincerity." Timpal Fariz explained.

Everyone heard what Fariz explained.

"Crocodiles are different." Cetus Rayyan made all look at him with a sharp look.

"What's? It's true that before Fariz was dating Raisa, Fariz had a lot of girlfriends." Again Arisa must calm herself with Rayyan's innocence.

Not angry, but Fariz laughed.

"You're right Rayyan. Right enough. And this girl has changed my outlook." Fariz pointed at Raisa.

"Not him. But this kid is too." Rayyan pinched Arisa's cheek hard.

"Ouch... Aray's sick." Rengek Arisa rubbed her cheeks rough.

Raisa is stunned to see the difference in Rayyan's attitude towards her and towards Arisa. It seems to be true, happy is not always felt when we are with the people we love. But seeing him happy will also foster another happiness for ourselves.

"Raisa. yu. mama must have been waiting." Raisa nodded then followed Fariz.

"Do you know Fariz's brother?" Arisa asked Rayyan.

"He was my senior brother first. Yyy. As well as my rival at the basketball club." Rayyan answered, pulling the chair behind Tio.

"That's my chair." Shouted Tio.

"Son't sit on it." Rayyan did not want to lose.

"What else is it?" Ask dad to surprise them.

"There's nothing dad." he replied in unison.

"His.. you guys are." Back dad closed the door.

"Sister.I want to talk to Aray." Arisa said a little doubtfully.

"All right." Tio instantly passed leaving Arisa and Rayyan both.

After making sure Tio had closed the door tightly, Arisa let out a long sigh before starting the conversation.

"What is Risa? It seems serious."

"Do you know where Vienna went?" Rayyan was silent at Arisa's question.

"Unfortunately I don't know. The last time he talked to me was just gonna quit college. But I don't know why."

"Do you know who donated her heart to me?"

"That's....."

"Array...."

"He's..."

"Who?" Now Arisa began to tear up, frightened if the closest person who donated her heart.

"I heard, he got a concussion in an accident. Unable to live his life, he came to Dimas and offered his heart to donate to you because he knew he needed a donor heart. Before, some of us proposed to give you a heart. But Dimas and your family refused on the grounds that later you wouldn't accept the fact that one of your closest people left because of you."

"But I miss Vienna." Arisa cries again and Rayyan holds her to calm her down.

"Trust me the girl is not Vienna."
