. Along the way, Arisa wonders who will visit her house. What is Pratama family? If it was true, Arisa was only worried about her heart. Because it could be Oma Galuh will come to visit as well, let alone this is Raisa's birthday. The girl that Oma desperately wanted to be Rayyan's companion. Several times Arisa sighed deeply and rubbed her chest slowly so that the feeling did not interfere with her mind. After all, Arisa will bury her feelings for Rayyan as soon as possible.

"Ishh. said my father straight home. Why come to a place like this. And why Mang Ujang from earlier stopped long in front of the coffee shop. Until a night like this, not even home. And why mom suddenly wanted to go back to her friend's boutique. Have to turn around, indeed we all go where to dress formally like this. Isn't Brother Tio just taking dinner in front of the house?" Mumbled Arisa who did not realize that now she has arrived at home. There are many people waiting for the arrival of the new main character to arrive home.

"When is this prepared? It takes all day to prepare, right?" Inner Arisa who started raging stared in awe at the front garden of her house which was transformed into a beautiful garden with sparkling night lights. Arisa is aware of the memory that Tio has a job, could it be that the job Tio meant is this?

Many guests are ready to welcome the two daughters of Artaris who are famous for their second beauty. Arisa and Raisa look at each other and turn to their parents. Yugito and Rahma descend and walk to where the Danu family is.

Some of Raisa's college friends are already there. Including Deby and Sofia. They are seen joining Rayyan's group and others from Yyy's campus. But it looks Citra, Daffa, and some of his campus friends are different places to welcome the arrival of Arisa. Not because Daffa and Rayyan are not making up, but Rayyan happens to be greeting friends longer from the Yyy campus.

Not to be missed Fariz's family and Bayu's family were already in place. There was even a car following shortly after the host arrived.

When he came down, all eyes fell on the figure of a handsome and dashing man with his expensive coat and a sharp gaze like Tio. Arga Fabio Nalendra, a successful young entrepreneur keeps pace with the Artaris company.

Also seen Tio and Seno who are standing upright on a small podium but look official. There are many gifts and 2 white birthday cakes decorated with pink flowers.

Raisa went down first, and instantly the guests stared in admiration at Raisa's Elegance.

"Eh. Raisa's hair." Sofia whispered to Deby.

"Is it going to be like that forever?" Deby asked back the same whispered.

And after that, Arisa slowly got out of the car. And at that instant, Daffa did not blink his eyes and did not turn his eyes away.

"That's Raisa? Uh no. That Arisa? Her hair is like Raisa." The other said hesitantly guessing who Raisa was between the two.

"Please, for the two princesses, I invite you to welcome and bring the idol to the podium." Said the MC who was beside the podium with a blush because of the beauty of both. Rayyan looked confidently forward regardless of Oma's cynical and stressed gaze.

"Just until I graduate. Allow me with Risa. After that Oma can do what Oma wants. Rayyan will obey." Those words kept ringing in Oma's ear. Slowly Oma Galuh changed her gaze to be as warm as possible. Right now he just had to obey what Rayyan said. If Rayyan is happy with Arisa, she must be able to receive with airy chest until the promised time arrives. After S1 graduation, Oma will announce the engagement of Rayyan and Raisa.

"There's no way you're gonna break your promise, right, Aray?" The slowly smiling muttered Oma looked at Rayyan.

"Raisa.." shouted his college friend at the same time when Rayyan was in front of the two daughters of Artaris. Rayyan reached out her hand right in front of Arisa. Arisa turns to Bayu and her parents who throw a sincere smile at her. Bayu nods slowly to convince Arisa that she is fine if Arisa is with Rayyan.

Arisa also slowly returned Rayyan's hand and the gaze of the two met with a radiant smile. Daffa smiled faintly looking at the two who looked happy. It was rare to see Rayyan smiling so happily in public. Oma Galuh turned her gaze several times when she saw her grandson and Arisa so close. Sonya felt uncomfortable with Oma's attitude that showed her dislike.

"Sister princess is very pretty. But her hair is the same as fairy's sister." Said Seina innocently. Sonya suddenly smiled considering Arisa's hair color change that Oma might be able to accept. But seeing the attitude of Oma who kept turning her eyes away, made Sonya doubtful about it.

"Although her hair was black, it was still Raisa who was still Oma's blessing." Oma said, though her eyes did not turn or glanced at Sonya and Danu.

When Fariz was almost in front of Raisa, it was seen Fabio first grabbed the hand of Raisa who was surprised because of the sudden feeling. All of Raisa's college friends became boisterous. Because of the rumors, if not with Rayyan, Raisa is dating Fariz.

"Sorry Mr. Fariz Alfarizky, Miss Raisa wants to be with me." Fabio said triumphantly with his haughty face past Fariz who was staring near Rayyan and Arisa who was surprised. Rayyan stared intently at Fabio who she considered to have no manners. Fabian who witnessed the embarrassing attitude of his brother could only clench his hands silently and stare at Fabio's shoulders.

"What's he doing? It's obvious Raisa has a lover." Inner Fabian.

"My shoulders are hot. It seems like my stupid brother is abusing me right now." Inner Fabio smiled cunningly imagining Fabian's annoyed face now.

Fabio brought Raisa before Yugito and looked down politely with a sweet smile greeting Yugito.

"Dad." call Raisa nervously.

"What a hell, kid. I'll allow it." And as if struck by lightning, Fariz's heart was shattered upon hearing Yugito's words. Fabio smiled triumphantly at Fariz's annoyed face.

"Are you kidding me?" Arisa and Raisa are together. Rayyan patted Fariz's shoulder gently and pulled Arisa's hand up to the podium.

"Well, your acting is very good, Mr. Fabio. Until Fariz felt this was the real scene. Raisa. you're so great. I'll promote you to be an actress. You want?" Rayyan clapped her own hands in front of the podium and made everyone present even more astonished.

"Sister Fariz." call Raisa who took her hand away from Fabio by force and turn around and approach Fariz who turned around. Raisa hugged Fariz tightly and seemed to not want to let go.

"Sorry.." - Raisa hugged Fariz.

"Thank you Rayyan." Raisa muttered which concluded the smile on her face.

Fabio glanced cynically at Rayyan whom he might have considered a troublemaker.

"I'll remember your face, son." Fabio muttered with a cynical smile then turned his face away in a mocking manner towards Rayyan. Rayyan was no less haughty staring intently at Fabio who passed to his family table.

"You don't want to let me go? There are a lot of people here. If you want, you'll be inside." Fariz's whisper surprised Raisa who quickly took off her embrace and stared intently at Fariz who laughed at the look on Raisa's face.

"I'm kidding." Fariz rubbed Raisa's face slowly and then pulled Raisa's hand to the podium where Arisa and Rayyan were now.

"Before the candle blow event, is there anything to convey?" Ask the MCs to Raisa and Arisa.

"Is this a birthday or a farewell? It feels like being at a wedding." Inner Arisa smiled forcefully then glanced at Tio in annoyance. Tio gestured as if asking 'what?' And Arisa rolled her eyeballs at her cake with 12 candles attached instead of 21. Tio pointed at Seno with his eyes answering Arisa's gesture. Then Arisa glanced sharply at Seno who turned her face away from contact with Arisa. Arisa herself knows that Seno has realized Arisa's annoyance because of her ignorance.

After making sure there was nothing to talk about, before the candle was lit, Arisa sulked at Seno so that the position of the candle was exchanged. By force, Seno changed the position of the candle to be what it should be. Oma Galuh frowned increasingly uncomfortable lingering at the proximity of Arisa and her granddaughter.

After the candle blow event, the two further cut the cake and give the first cake to Yugito and Rahma alternately, then to Tio, and then to their respective partners.

"Tonight you're happy Fariz, but tomorrow I'll make sure Raisa's mine. Because her future husband is me. And you, you're not on his choice list." The smiling Fabio muttered cynically looking at the happiness of Raisa and her lover.

After that, the event went on with great fanfare. As if it was a birthday event for a 5-year-old that should be celebrated. Actually, the event was made not just a birthday party. But to celebrate Arisa's recovery because she still lives until her birthday which passes the obstacles of life and death.

Arisa slowly walked down from the podium about to approach Rayyan's family. Sonya was already smiling so sweetly welcoming Arisa.

"Sister princess.." call Seina enthusiastically.

But when Sonya stood up, Widia first hugged Arisa in front of her. Sonya doesn't realize that Widia, Bayu's mother, is sitting at the table right in front of her desk. Arisa also no less warmly hugged Widia because it is not polite if Arisa revealed that she will greet Sonya.

"You see? The boy puts others first." Say Oma in a squeaky tone. Sonya looked deeply at Arisa then lowered her head and sat back down with a sense she could not express.

"I'm sure Risa's not like that." Mumbled.
