UNEQUAL

. Rayyan was silent not returning Arisa's embrace. Why is it Arisa who apologizes? Rayyan slowly stroked Arisa's hair gently.

"Sorry.." - Rayyan. "I shouldn't talk like that either. Your heart must hurt, right? I didn't mean to." Rayyan felt very guilty. Arisa looked up then shook her head in response to Rayyan's words.

"Ehem.. is forbidden to date the boss.." cetus Daffa when passing through the two. Arisa quickly pulled away slightly away from Rayyan.

"You're jealous, right?" Rayyan asked a cynical glance at Daffa who was now standing beside Arisa.

"Oh clear. Arisa this is my pending boyfriend. And you took it from me."

"I didn't take it from you. Me and Risa are already doomed."

"You're very confident, Mr. Pratama."

"Obviously I'm confident. Because I won't let anyone touch Risa."

"Well... I takuuutttt.." taunted Daffa who then left the two.

"They are very blatantly expressing feelings. Different from me and Rais. I said I'd stay away from Aray, but it's getting closer, and I don't even want to be away from Aray. Is Raisa okay?" Arisa muttered who was unaware of Rayyan's call in front of her.

"You daydreaming?" Rayyan asked wagging her hand in front of Arisa's face.

"Sorry."

"Already. yu to class. Seno can talk later if we're late." Rayyan's words were responded to by a nod by Arisa. Rayyan brought back Arisa's things with confidence. Occasionally chatting and joking without caring about the people around who are confused to see the two smiling and laughing. Because for them it was a very rare moment. Some students secretly captured the moment and posted it on social media.

Until the class, it felt crowded and quiet no occupants of the bench were beside him. Given Vienna who went somewhere, Arisa again put on a sad face.

When Arisa sits down, all her classmates swarm in making Rayyan knocked out.

The questions began randomly as a group of reporters asked an up-and-coming artist.

"Hey...." Seno hit the table as her call to the group of children did not hear. Instantly everyone became silent and turned around while staring at Seno.

"Go back to your seats, or this class I'm disbanding." Said Seno with a gripping cold aura. Just this time they saw the other side of Seno who was known to be very friendly.

. While in the hospital, Dimas is busy checking out what is wrong with Raisa. Tio looked to be pacing outside the ER door.

"Rais. hope you're okay. Don't keep making you worry because of you. How will brother leave you in peace if you are still sick like this." Mumbled Tio.

"Tlio." Call Dimas to break Tio's daydream.

"How's it?" Tanya Tio approached Dimas.

"Your sister's fine. Just a fever. And..."

"And?" Tio frowned as Dimas hung his words.

"And... Is Arisa okay?" Dimas asked doubtfully by turning his face away.

"Hadeuhhh.. You take care of Raisa Dimaaasss.." growled Tio squeezed her own fingers.

"Yes yes, dear Mr. Tio. I'm gonna move Raisa to the hospital room." Delik Dimas's.

. In the afternoon, Arisa was silent staring at the food in front of her. Hearts are not bad, feelings are uncomfortable.

"Why?" Rayyan asked who was aware of Arisa's more silent attitude at the moment. Arisa is actually quiet.

"My feelings are not good Aray." replied Arisa.

Suddenly, a group of female students approached Arisa and Rayyan to her desk. The two looked astonished by the arrival of the girls from the other classes.

"Rayyan.. Are you and Arisa dating?" Alice asked, the girl who was known for her beauty at the college.

"No.." answered Rayyan innocently making Arisa more attached to staring at her food. His mind became more and more inhumane, and thought that Rayyan was messing with his feelings.

"Then what does this mean?" Alice asked again while showing her the pot and Arisa who was joking in the hallway of the campus this morning. Unexpectedly, the post has now become a hot conversation everywhere. Because Rayyan is very cold and indifferent to women, now looks sweet in front of Arisa who is known to be cooler than Rayyan.

Arisa got up from her seat, then tidied up the things that were originally stored on the table.

"Where are you going?" Rayyan asked, turning her face into annoyance.

"I don't want to interrupt your chat." Replied Arisa who had turned her back to Rayyan and refused to turn back. It is certain that Arisa is now jealous of Rayyan who was in the crowd by another girl in front of her.

"She waited.." Rayyan moves on but being held back by Alice makes Arisa even more upset.

"Risa stop." Rayyan asserted until the canteen became quiet and Arisa stopped from her steps.

"And who are you?" Rayyan asked with a cold look at Alice. "I don't know you, and you seem to know about me. Risa is not my boyfriend. She's my future wife." Rayyan's whisper went straight to Alice's ear. Rayyan then follows Arisa who is still in her place.

"You angry?" Rayyan asked grabbed Arisa's head which shook her head in response.

"Then? Why did you leave?"

"Sorry Aray, you better not get too close to me." Arisa passed away as if avoiding contact with Rayyan. Rayyan smiled as she guessed that Arisa was really jealous. And the last sentence that he made to Alice was not thrown in a high voice until Arisa could not hear it. Rayyan continued to follow Arisa. Until he was again irritated by seeing Arisa who was asked several times for a photo by her senior and junior. Until one of the seniors accidentally hit Arisa. Arisa who fell felt a pain in her chest. It felt like an incision, the stitching wound had yet to completely dry. "Ugh.." - UH...." Arisa clasped her hands on her chest slowly. But the pain did not decrease. Arisa turned to Rayyan who looked panicked as she grabbed her shoulder. With swiftness, Rayyan brought Arisa back to the health room in her arms.

Bian who felt guilty, then followed Rayyan behind him.

"I'm sorry. You're outside first." Said the doctor standing guard in the health room.

"Rayyan and Bian looked at each other with sharp gazes. Rayyan's irritation from her breathing. Bian, who did not have time to apologize, refused to move from his seat.

"Dam." Cetus Rayyan when he saw the clock in his hand.

"Ray.." call Daffa who ran up to him.

"I heard Aris was brought here?" Daffa stared at the closed door.

"Sir Amir is in?" Rayyan asked as if putting aside Daffa's question.

"Yet. But we have to get to class." Daffa.

"Well, I'll tell Seno to wait for Arisa." Rayyan took her phone and searched for Seno.

"But Ray. Seno has another class schedule." Daffa stopped Rayyan's finger.

"Continue?"

"What continues? You'll let me know." Daffa half-screamed.

"Let me take care of him. You just go back to class. Mr. Amir is a lecturer who does not tolerate any reason. So don't worry about Arisa." Bian's words chimed in on Daffa and Rayyan's chatter and panic. Despite his disbelief, Rayyan agreed with what Bian said.

"If I hear you messing with Risa, I'll kill you." Rayyan said before it passed.

"Aware of Aray..he is our senior." said Daffa when following Rayyan.

. The doctor came out and called Bian. Bian enters and meets Arisa who looks calm even though her face shows that Arisa is holding back by force the pain in her chest.

"Your friend has entered the class." Bian.

"Geez, I have to go to class. Or Mr. Amir will-"

"No. don't. See condition. Don't impose. Mr. Amir can understand if you see your condition like this." Bian interjected and held Arisa to stay there.

"Before, I'm sorry. I accidentally hit you." Bian lowered his head and ventured to talk to the girl who had been a secret idol on the campus.

"No brother. I'm the one who's sorry. If I hadn't blocked the road, maybe brother wouldn't have hit me." Arisa said by throwing a smile at Bian. Instantly Bian's face reddened to see how sweet Arisa was when she smiled. It was only fitting that her senior used to like Arisa and chased after her desperately.

"But I'm grateful for this." Said Bian in a soft tone.

"If this doesn't happen, I won't be able to talk to you like this." Bian.

"Aren't you KKN?" Arisa asked avoiding the chatter that made her uncomfortable.

"I was lazy to the location. And I happen to have business on campus." Answer Bian.

"But it shouldn't be like that, brother. After all, brother should follow him. Don't waste the opportunity. Many want to be like us, college, then KKN, and graduation with a college degree. A brother like this shows that you're not serious about college." Said Arisa staring fixedly at something in front of her. Given how hard Vienna has been to go to college. Bian was stunned to hear Arisa's words. It is rare for a rich child to think like Arisa. Because most of them are wealthy, college is only used as a place to play games, tongkrongan, and even as a place to show off their parents' wealth. Arisa, who is known as the youngest daughter of Yugito, the owner of the Artaris company, always looks simple and inconspicuous. Not a few people think that Arisa is a child that is not considered by her family. In contrast to Raisa who shows the dignity of the first princess Yugito. Judging from its very graceful and classy appearance.

"It is fitting that Bayu loves you so much." Said Bian smiling widely.

"Aren't you familiar with Bayu's sister?" Ask Arisa enthusiastically.

"of course. I entered the basketball club and Bayu's brother was the captain at the time. I underestimated his efforts to pursue you. But as it turned out, he hadn't given up until now." Arisa smiled remembering the truth Bian said.

"But baby. He can't see you smiling like this."

"He saw me smile first than he did his brother." Arisa's reply drew Bian's smile.
