UNEQUAL

. "Dad's waiting. Don't try to escape. Your stitches will heal long." Tio continued his steps without looking back. Arisa is getting curious about who Reza is talking about by Tio and Seno.

Tio closed the door of Yugito's study room tightly, then Tio sat opposite the father. Yugito provided a map containing important files. Tio opened the map and guessed by Yugito, Tio would be surprised even angry at him.

"Sorry Tio. I didn't tell you before and made my own decision." Yugito said, not daring to show his face. Tio let out a long sigh and turned his face several times then looked back at the beam in his hand.

"I won't blame you for your decision. But I just want to know on what basis did you give the company that you said Raisa would take care of to Reza?"

"You yourself must know why Tio."

"Ah. is true. Because of Nadhira, right? It was fitting that he gave his life in return for his mother who had taken the father from the mother." Tio said in an annoyed tone. Instantly Yugito climbed up and then moved from his seat.

"Take a look at you Tio."

"Allowed father? Where is my wrong word? Nadhira is the result of a father's affair with a woman named Sarah right?" And a 'plaque plaque' slap back and forth landed on Tio's cheek. Tio only fell silent feeling the heat on both of his cheeks. I can tell now that his cheeks are red.

"It's worth it that Reza is here." Decih Tio who threw the file then moved out of the workspace. Unexpectedly, Tio found Arisa sitting at the end of the stairs adjacent to her room.

Arisa frowned looking at Tio's red cheeks on both sides.

"Sister and dad had a fight?" Tanya Arisa stopped Tio's steps. Initially Tio intended to pass through Arisa, but hearing the voice of the sister, his intention was off. Then Tio approached Arisa and hugged her with a broken cry.

"Sister....What's your blow so painful that you cry like this?" Hearing Arisa's question, Tio even more tightly hugged her. Not her painful slap but her heartbreaking reality. Arisa who does not know that she has a brother one father. Who is none other than a heart donor for Arisa herself.

Seeing her sister like that, Arisa undoes her intention to go to see Rayyan.

. The next day, Arisa half ran down the stairs. Being too hasty, Arisa almost hit Tio who just came out of her room.

"Aris... Why run? How will it fall?"

"Sorry brother.. Aris hastily."

"Yes where? It's still morning. It's only 6 past 17 minutes." Tio glanced at the clock he had set in his hand.

"Aris is going to the hospital. Just sec. Aris wants to see Raisa before she goes to college." Persuade Arisa with a pleading face.

"Silver brother." Tio said a heavy sigh.

"But my brother is busy."

"No. Brother is more worried about you."

"All right..." Arisa was forced to follow what Tio said. Looks like Tio's still not okay. Afraid that if his words were not obeyed, Tio would get angry.

Unlike usual, now Tio is more silent when in the car. From the roar of his breath that was heard, it was certain that Tio was holding back from venting his anger.

"Aren't you going straight to the office?" Arisa's asking broke the silence.

"No. Today I'm not going to the office." Answer the indifferent Tio.

"Continue?" Arisa was astonished, Tio where would it be if not to the office? The suit was neat and seemed to be getting ready for work.

"There's business."

"Yes already. Brother take care of sister's business, I'll ask Aray to pick her up to the hospital if you're busy." But until he arrived at the hospital, Tio did not speak another word. Even Tio chose to stay waiting for Arisa in the car rather than go to see Raisa.

"What's wrong with sister? What made my brother and father fight like this." Arisa muttered continuously walking down the hospital hallway.

'Bugh' Arisa was surprised to collide with someone making the two fall.

"I'm sorry.." said Arisa.

"What's wrong." replied Sarah who tried to stand up.

"Are you okay?" Ask Sarah again by helping Arisa. How shocked when Arisa threw a smile to reassure him.

The clear thread flowed back on Sarah's cheek when she saw Arisa. It looks almost like Nadhira. Just natural. They are different brothers mothers.

"Mother. Her flight schedule was sud-" Reza stopped talking when she found Arisa in front of her. Especially seeing Sarah crying in front of Arisa.

Arisa lowered her head when she realized that it was the man she was hit by yesterday.

"Mother.. come." Reza said again as if ignoring the existence of Arisa. Sarah nodded and then turned around to follow Reza.

"Anu.." said Arisa half yelling stop step mother and child.

"I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." Arisa continued when Reza turned her face a little. Reza passed again without responding to Arisa's words. Arisa let out a heavy sigh as the two just passed by.

. "Aris." Raisa shouted as Arisa opened the door. Mama turned her head for a moment and continued the show to feed Raisa.

Arisa was silent for a moment, thinking that it was true that her mother's treatment was different. As Arisa is being treated, Arisa thinks Rahma is really treating her spoiled, yet it is nothing compared to this. Rahma who did not go home, and prefers to wait for Raisa, even ignored a child who was undergoing the recovery process for post-surgery. Arisa smiled then turned around and passed.

"Where are you? Just a minute?" Rahma asked stopping Arisa's steps.

"I have an appointment with Aray ma." Answered Arisa enough to make Raisa short of breath. If Arisa can't get Rahma's attention, at least Arisa will be selfish to have Rayyan. Arisa closed the door a little loudly without speaking anything more. Rahma slightly strengthened her grip on the spoon, noticing Arisa's annoyance at seeing her so pamper Raisa when sick.

"You've made it clear that Aris. There's no hope for me to love Rayyan." Raisa muttered that held her chest tight.

"Have you come back?" Tio asked in wonder. Arisa is no less surprised to find a pack of cigarettes in Tio's car. At one time, Tio had quit smoking since a big fight with his father when Tio was in college.

"Sister smoking?" Arisa asked despite finding the answer.

"You want to go straight to college?" Tio's question ignored Arisa's question.

"That's it. I'm going alone." Arisa gets off Tio's car and runs to the side of the highway.

Arisa enters a taxi and goes further and further. Tio stared flatly at Arisa's departure and there was no intention to prevent her from leaving. Tio lowered his head and rested on the steering wheel, sobbing loudly and then covering part of his face.

Arisa stops at a park and sits pensively on one of the benches. Heard his phone ringing and the name Rayyan plastered there.

"Hallo Aray."

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the park."

"Garden?"

"Orangic garden. Can you pick me up here?" Tanya Arisa sounded doubtful.

"All right, I'm there now."

Arisa sighed heavily when the call was interrupted. Suddenly someone surprised Arisa for sitting next to her.

"Sister?" Arisa frowned to find Reza beside her. Reza heard that word.

"You're Arisa, right?" Reza asked who turned her eyes away from Arisa.

"D-yes."

"Please take care of my sister's heart." His words then back up and passed just like that leaving a curiosity in Arisa.

"Sorry." Shouted Arisa again stopped Reza's steps.

"Whose sister's name?" Ask Arisa then.

"Ali Fahreza." His reply made Arisa smile with relief.

"When we meet again, Brother Ali." Arisa said softly as she stared at Reza's departure.

. Before long, Rayyan stopped in front of Arisa.

"What is alone? I went to your house. But auntie said you and brother Tio. And why do you always break your promise?" Arisa looked down to find Rayyan's question.

"Sorry Aray. I don't mean to break my promise anymore. But yesterday my brother didn't let me out of the house because he was worried about me. And Raisa's being treated for pain." There was the sound of Rayyan's irritated breathing. Rayyan sat next to Arisa and hugged her from the side.

"Thank God you're okay." Arisa was silent without responding.

"Aray, if I hadn't been on your list, would you have left me?" Rayyan released a hug and stared fixedly at Arisa's face.

"What are you talking about?"

"I know Aray. I don't have my name on your list of choices."

"Risa. It's just you."

"But...."

"Suttt. Don't talk anymore. We better get to college." Arisa nodded and followed Rayyan who continued to hold her hand.

. Until he is arrested, Rayyan is reluctant to release Arisa's hand. Rayaan was grieving because his junior was staring in admiration at Arisa. Several times Rayyan stared cynically at them. A really up-and-coming couple.

"Our class is still long Aray." Arisa's still following Rayyan.

"We'll take a walk first." Reply Rayyan.

The two walked around the campus corridors while occasionally joking.

"Some." Call one of the seniors who is preparing for the seminar.

"Yes?" Arisa frowned on why she knew his name.

"Happeningly. We're looking for a model for a campus promotion brochure. Because you're an idol, so can-"

"No." Cetus Rayyan interjected before Fahri finished his explanation.

"I haven't finished talking young lord Pratama." Annoyed annoyed.

"But the point is you want Risa to be your model, right?" Rayyan asked raising her voice.

"Yes, but I didn't ask you."

"But I'm his girlfriend. I have a right to interfere in this."

"Why did you fight."

"Review if you agree to it." Rayyan's whispers to Arisa's ears made her smile stiffly.

"How's Arisa?"

"alright. I want to." Rayyan stared intently at Arisa who was smiling towards her.

"But with Aray. That too if I could. Otherwise, if I hadn't either" Arisa continued making Rayyan smile triumphantly.
