. In the morning, Arisa squirms as she opens her eyes when she realizes the day is bright. Arisa was fixated on the figure lying around hugging her bolster and was still sound asleep. Arisa moved and walked over to Tio. Because she was still not fully aware, Arisa tripped the carpet making her fall right in front of Tio's face. Hearing a rowdy voice, Tio slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to find the figure of the woman with her hair unraveling forward covering her face.


"Ouch....." Arisa grimaced while rubbing her legs which might sprain. And immediately Tio realized that the woman he thought was a ghost was his own sister.


"Aris.." yelled at Tio and grabbed Arisa and sat down on the floor.


"Sick brother." Lirih Arisa straightened her hair to the side so as not to block her view. Tio sighed in relief that in front of him was indeed his sister.


"He really is Aris. I almost had a heart attack." His mind is smiling to itself.


"Where does it hurt?" Tanya Tio rubbed Arisa's feet carefully. "Eat him. The path is careful. Don't daydream." Tio continued to lecture Arisa by helping her sit on the sofa. Tio sat down while giving a light massage so that Arisa's legs do not swell later.


"Aris... Can you ask me something?" Tio asked with still focused on Arisa's legs.


"May.." she answered briefly.


"You got that gift from Danu?" Ask Tio again. Arisa glanced at the small box on her already open makeup desk.


"Yes. Why why?" Reply Arisa.


"So you've accepted Rayyan completely huh..." Tio chuckled softly with a tone of ridicule and occasionally looked up at his sister's expression that might be misbehaving. But unexpectedly, it was Arisa became sad, her gaze was sweet, and as if she did not want to discuss about it.


"Aris... will stay away from Aray." Down-down.


"Why?"


"If indeed Aray will be with Raisa, for what Aris and Aray are together now. It was the same as breaking Aris' heart intentionally."


"But didn't his family already choose you as their son-in-law's candidate?" Arisa immediately frowned hearing Tio's words.


"Sister mean?"


"You don't know?" Arisa shook her head, indeed she did not know and did not understand what Tio was talking about.


"Om Danu gave you that Phoenix necklace, right?" This time Arisa nodded assuring Tio's question.


"And that means you're the one they chose to be their daughter-in-law." But Arisa returned. Tio snorted and sighed lazily looking at Arisa's innocent and annoying face.


"The necklace is a hereditary necklace for every son-in-law of the Pratama family. From the past." Obviously Tio. Arisa was wide at hearing Tio's explanation. Is that really the story? And why did Danu give it to him, not to Raisa.


"But you don't know if Lusi accepts it or not. Because the necklace is only one, and it's given to a precious daughter-in-law." Obviously Tio again.


"You mean precious daughter-in-law?" Tanya Arisa still did not understand what Tio explained.


"Ishhh you are so stupid. Of course the daughter-in-law is considered like a diamond gem. She is the most beloved, proud and considered the great mistress of the great Pratama family."


"Wahh... Rais is lucky." Cetus Arisa makes Tio stop his massage.


"Eh? Why quit? aris's leg still hurts." Arisa's a little spoiled.


Then, suddenly the door was opened, and Raisa was seen entering Arisa's room with a sparkling face.


"Aris... You've been bang-uhh you why?" Raisa suddenly panicked and ran to Arisa and hugged her.


"Keseleo." Answer's short.


"You're cured?" Tio asked Raisa who tightly hugged Arisa.


"Well.do I get sick?" Raisa asked back with a plain face.


"Ishh you are. Didn't you freak out last night on Fabio until you passed out." Ejek Tio sat down next to Arisa.


"Already brother. Don't discuss. I became even more afraid when I heard his name. If I may ask, I want to disappear from here. I don't want to meet him, brother. It feels like he's gonna do something to our family by using me." Raisa suddenly became sad.


"He realized?" Tio muttered looking at his two younger siblings. "Whatever happens, I won't let anyone hurt my sisters." He muttered again clenched his hands firmly until the sound of his joints made the twins goosebumps.


"Oh yes brother... Brother doesn't work?" Tanya Raisa melted the atmosphere that felt very gripping. Tio left without speaking and passed with question marks on Arisa and Raisa's heads.


"Ehh... Aris. You haven't told me what you want." Raisa again turned her gaze to Arisa who was staring at Tio's departure.


"I want.." 'drttttttt' Arisa hasn't had time to talk, her phone reads with an unknown number. Arisa frowned not daring to answer the call from a foreign number that she considered a terror or whatever.


"Not lifted?" Raisa asked in amazement.


"If it's important, he'll call again." And sure enough, after Arisa finished talking, her phone stopped ringing, and soon came back ringing the incoming call. Arisa hesitantly shifts the green button to receive the call.


"Ha-hallo." he said hesitantly.


"Aris.." call her in a familiar voice. Arisa said that she did not answer the greeting of people from across.


"Thank God you're okay. I missed you Aris. I'm crying." Again, Arisa is confused and still reluctant to speak in response to the conversation with the caller.


"Sorry I just told you. I'm new-"


"Shut up." Arisa's words stopped the Vienna speech that made her tear up.


"Aris.." Raisa looked curiously at her sister.


"Where are you? Why did you leave me? Why did you leave when I fell asleep? Do you think I'm not lonely without you? Please come home." He said again with a loud sob and a sense of annoyance stifling his chest.


"Don't stop talking if it's not done yet." Arisa said with annoyance.


"But you interrupted me." The whining of Vienna made Arisa laugh a little.


"Happy birthday Aris. Please don't get sick again. Stay alive so I can meet you again and see your very rare smile." Continue Vienna with a tone of ridicule.


"Where are you? I'll catch up with you if you don't want to go home." Arisa is no less upset whining to Vienna.


"I'm out of Aris' town."


"Yes where? Why not go home?"


"I work. Too far to go home."


"Why work so far? If you want to work, just work at my father's company. You can go to college here too. For a fee, you can take some of your pay."


"But I don't want to keep burdening you."


"Who said you were burdening me? It's been. Now you're home."


"No Aris. I haven't had a day off."


"Then I'll catch up with you."


"No-no. Don'tdon't. You still have to rest. Well, by the end of the semester, when you're off, I'll be home."


"Promise?"


"Yes promise..."


"I'll get mad if you disavow."


"Well, it won't."


"Vienna.." whining Arisa again back crying. "I miss you."


"I am also Aris. I have to work now. I'll call again." Arisa agrees and Vienna hangs up her phone call. Arisa sobbed back in Raisa's lap.


"It's been.." said Raisa stroking Arisa's arm gently while soothing.


"Why do I feel jealous of Vienna. He's a nobody, but Aris cares a lot. Even Aris was willing to cry for her. But I, for 21 years her twin sister, never saw Aris cry for loving me. Is it because of my illness? It's all because of me. Aris is lonely because of me. Brother Tio must hate me too." Raisa's murmuring slowly came sobbing and hugged Arisa tightly.


Suddenly bi Ina entered Arisa's room with a little haste.


"Non.. There are guests for non Aris." Say it politely.


"Who's bi?" Raisa asked in a hoarse tone and stopped her crying by rubbing her messy face.


"Den Dimas non." Reply bi Ina who approached the two twins who were crying.


"Non Aris and non Rais why? Is anyone sick?" Tanya bi Ina then grabs her second hand with her squirming down. Arisa shook her head and moved so that bi Ina also moved. Arisa wondered why Raisa was crying to see her crying.


"Rais..." said Arisa who responded smiling by Raisa.


"Yeah... Dimas must be waiting for you." Raisa said then pulled Arisa's hand towards the bottom floor.


"Dim.." call Arisa slowly. Dimas looked at her with a very sad look.


"Aris..." Dimas moved from his seat and was clearly holding his eyes open.


"Congratulations ul-" Not yet had time to finish his words, Dimas staggered and could not keep his body balanced. With reflexes Raisa and Arisa hold Dimas so as not to fall. The two put Dimas to sleep on a nearby sofa. His face was pale, so Arisa thought that Dimas was sick.


Tio walked leisurely while snapping his arm buttons. Then Tio turned his head and looked in wonder at the sleeping Dimas and his two brothers who were panicking.


"When was he here?" Tio asked casually. "He's staying? What time is it coming?" Tio asked and still relaxed.


"He fainted brother." Arisa patted Dimas' cheek from slow to hard.


"Aris.don't be so loud. He'll be in pain." Tegur Raisa innocently.


"He's fainted Rais. Can you feel pain?" Tanya Arisa is no less innocent. Tio laughed out loud in response to the innocence of his sisters.


"He's a doctor, so he can heal himself." Said Tio with a tone full of ridicule. Before long, Dimas opened his eyes and found the twins were staring at him flatly.


"You okay, Dim?" Arisa suddenly came back worried.


"What's wrong. I'm just tired." Reply to Dimas who slowly touched his slightly throbbing cheek.


"Is your cheek hot?" Tio's question held back the sense of wanting to laugh looking at Dimas' expression.


"You slapped me?" Dimas asked stared intently at Tio.


"Why don't you just ask my sister?" And instantly Tio's laughter broke while passing out of the house. Dimas turned to Arisa and Raisa alternated between those who slapped him when he fainted.
