. Arisa turned back to look for the whereabouts of her father and mother.

"I'm looking for dad. You two just." Said Arisa who was about to leave Raisa and Fariz.

"Ehhh where are you going? Keep me company." Raisa pulls Arisa to a standstill and falls into a nervous silence.

"What's wrong Arisa." Fariz said to persuade Arisa to come along.

"Oh, happy birthday to you guys." Said Fariz again shuffling Raisa's hair and patting Arisa's cheek slowly.

"The lizard." Raisa reached out her sign hand asking for something.

"Take what you want." Fariz patted Raisa's hand and grabbed her. And Raisa held Arisa's hand on the other side.

"Oh yes Aris. Said you wanted a brother. Just take what you like." Said Fariz who continued to go hand in hand without looking at Arisa.

"What a hell, brother. I'm just kidding." Arisa replied in a soft voice. Fariz took the twins for a walk.

"You choose." Fariz said that he coded the two to choose what they wanted. The two did choose some cool colored dresses and occasionally ridiculed each other. Fariz smiled seeing the happiness of the two that Raisa wanted. Some times Raisa always complains to him because Arisa's attitude is always cold and even rarely greet him.

"So this is good no?" Tanya Raisa shows a navy-colored dress knee-length with a little brocade on her arm and the tip of the dress.

"Hemmm good." Answer Fariz adjust the color and dress model that counted polite.

"If this?" Tanya Arisa showed a short red dress half thigh and without arms. Fariz gaped with Arisa's taste which counted the bars. Raisa hits Arisa's arm hard.

"Save again. You'll be kicked out of the house if you wear it." Tegur Raisa who was upset with Arisa who laughed because of it.

"Who would wear it, Rais. Besides, if anyone buys this, I won't wear it." Said Arisa reassuringly and then put the sexy dress back into place.

"Already yu.." invite Arisa who passed herself out of the booth.

"Ehh... You don't buy?" Fariz asked who was surprised when Raisa followed Arisa.

"No." Reply the two in unison making Fariz frown.

"Why?" Ask Fariz who is still astonished.

"What's wrong. I just want to take a walk." Arisa who walks with Raisa's hand. Fariz shook his head then followed in their footsteps from behind. Several servants and officers gave Fariz a polite greeting, but Fariz gave the code not to return to do so. Only a handful of people know that Fariz is the owner of the newly opened mall.

Several times Arisa and Raisa entered a booth, but just playing around. After being content to pick and choose, they simply passed without buying any of the items they saw.

Fariz instructed a waiter to go to the dress booth he had been to.

"You guys skipped college just to mess around?" Ask Fariz who is still monitoring casually the behavior of the 2 brothers.

"Sister Tio said we don't have to go to college." Replied Arisa innocently while continuing to stare one by one at the jewelry in front of her.

"It's funny Rais." Arisa's voice pointed at a small, heart-shaped earring.

"You love heart shaped." Said Raisa along staring fixed earrings in front of him.

"And you also love being star shaped." Ejek Arisa who is still focused on what he noticed.

"Because the stars are like you." Lirih Raisa smiled faintly.

"Huh? What's?" Arisa asked turned her head for a moment to Raisa who was smiling broadly in response to Arisa's question.

"That's dad." Raisa turned to the father who was not far from them. "I want to be like them Aris.." whined Raisa later.

"meaning?" Arisa frowned in surprise looking at Raisa.

"Always be together until old without a third person." At that instant Arisa's heart suddenly beat fast hearing Raisa's speech.

"If you knew Rais, there's another girl who has the same father as us." Arisa muttered looking at meu at her parents. Then Arisa remembers her request to mama and leaves without speaking anything to Raisa.

"Eh Aris wait." Call Raisa come after Arisa. Fariz, who had felt like a figure there, casually held his hand and continued to follow Raisa from behind.

"Mama.." call Arisa in doubt.

"Yes?" Rahma turned her head and smiled at Arisa who looked nervous.

"Mom remember your mom's promise last night?" Arisa asked again getting nervous. Afraid that the mother will forget.

"Yes.mama remember." Rahma answered successfully making Arisa smile expand and hug her tightly.

"If mom is with you, then what's dad?" Yugito asked with a tone of ridicule.

"With dad too." Reply Arisa then embraces Yugito's arm.

"Ehemmmm I'm not considered?" Tanya Raisa who participated in the joyous atmosphere of her family.

"Ishh you have Fariz's brother." Delik Arisa then turned to Fariz who approached them and greeted his parents.

"Om... Can I take Raisa?" Tanya Fariz hesitated if she did not get permission from her future father-in-law. Because today, Fariz desperately wants time alone with Raisa.

"Please." Yugito smiled kindly.

"Thank you om. Come baby..." Fariz happily pulled Raisa's hand away from her family.

"Beware, baby." Ejek Arisa then laughed a little.

"What do you want from Dad?" Ask Yugito again. Arisa shook her head while throwing a smile at the father.

"No dad.. Aris doesn't want a prize. Aris just wants me to give Aris time to be with Aray for a while. After that, I'll make Rais and Aray's match."

"But son..."

"Dad doesn't have to think about Aris's feelings." Arisa interjected as if not allowing the father to speak.

"Maybe Aris's feelings for Aray are not like those of Rama. Aris make sure before graduation, Aris will erase Aris' feelings for Aray, and Aris wants the father to also formalize Aris' matchmaking with Bayu's sister so that Aris can go along with Bayu's sister to Jogja later. It'll be easier for Aris to forget about Aray." Arisa continued with a sad look.

"Aris.." said Rahma could not hold back her tears and grabbed Arisa's cheek gently.

"Ma. This is all Aris wants. Let's just say this is Aris's last request. Because Aris doesn't know when Aris's age will be, so before Aris actually leaves, Aris wants her father and mother not to refuse Aris's request."

"What you said son. Don't talk about the no." Rahma clasped Arisa's hand with a feeling of worry about Arisa's words which she thought were only joking. But seeing Arisa's serious face, Rahma was really worried if anything happened to her youngest daughter.

"Have you forgotten your promise?" Ask Rahma then.

"Did Aris ever promise?" Arisa asked in surprise as if she did not remember anything.

"You promised to accompany your mom, didn't you? Why are you talking like you're leaving mom."

"It's not so ma... Aris just thought-"

"Already Aris, I won't let you go." Said Yugito interrupting the unfinished sentence Arisa.

"Now, enjoy your time. Take what you like. Don't think weird. It's your birthday, don't you let your silly thoughts ruin your happiness." Firmly Yugito then.

"Sorry." Lirih Arisa lowered her head and squeezed her hands feeling unwell. Rahma rubbed Arisa's back gently, hoping that Arisa would feel calm. Arisa smiled in response to her mother. The three took a walk through each outlet and stopped by several times but did not buy. Rahma and Yugito were surprised, usually children at the age of Arisa really like to shop and even spend their parents' money. Several times they cross paths with a child of Arisa's age who carries a lot of groceries.

"You don't want to buy anything?" Tanya Yugito stopped Arisa's steps in front of him. Arisa turned around while throwing her big smile at the father.

"No. Aris just wants to take a walk. Ehh ma... good huh? But I already have a dress at home." Arisa said then half-run pointing to the dress on display behind the glass wall.

"You want? It's okay to take it." Yugito said enthusiastically. Maybe only he feels happy when his son has something to want. Unlike other parents, who are uncomfortable even scolding their children for wanting something. Again Arisa just shook her head with a smile. Rahma stared fixedly at the dress pointed at Arisa.

"Try it first." Rahma's words made Arisa turn her head.

"But..." Arisa turns to the dress and turns to her mother.

"What's wrong, your father won't be angry either." Rahma said reassuringly and brought Arisa into the booth. Rahma asks if there are other color stocks or not. But Arisa only wants the color on display, which is none other than the mint green color that looks refreshing.

The waiter took and gave the dress to Arisa. Arisa passes entering the pass room to try it out, while Yugito and Rahma look around the goods the next time there is another model more suitable for Arisa.

Yugito is smitten on a long white dress with a pink pattern decoration that adds a sweet impression to the dress. Reflexively, Yugito grabs her and gives it to Rahma. Rahma looked at Yugito as if asking 'what is this?'. Yugito gave the code to Arisa.

Before long, Arisa came out with her face alone, and she appeared.

"How's it?" Asked Arisa who twisted her body. The female employee there was stunned to see Arisa's elegance that really made her feel envious. Even those who passed by deliberately stopped and stared in admiration at Arisa. It was as if Arisa had become a living mannequin there.

"Try this one." Rahma gives Yugito's chosen dress to Arisa.

"Well, she looks a lot like you." Fariz looked in admiration at Arisa.
