. "You're the first girl that worries me." Fabio muttered that went somewhere.

Daffa entered the room hurriedly after confirming Fabio was far away.

"Aris... Are you okay? Did Fabio hurt you?" Arisa shook her head slowly but her tears were unceasingly breaking.

"Let's just say Aris."

"No Daf. He didn't hurt me." Arisa replied quickly. Intention wanted to convince Daffa, but instead made Daffa more worried.

"Then? Why do you keep crying?" Daffa's snapping stopped Arisa's crying. Arisa sighed a few times and occasionally glanced at the door. Afraid that Fabio would suddenly return.

"I betrayed Aray Daf." - Who could not hold back the tears that forced her to break up.

"So right? You and Fabio...." Arisa nodded as she continued to firmly grasp the blanket that covered her legs.

"Aris... Did he threaten you?" Arisa jerks. Did he show too much Daffa suspicion? He shouldn't have spoken like that. But too late, Daffa had guessed that Arisa was forced to accept Fabio.

"Why Aris?" Lirih Daffa who can not accept the reality. She thought that Arisa would be hers if she wasn't with Rayyan. But this fact made Daffa even more desperate.

"You broke my heart again Aris." Lirihnya.

"Daffa, don't be. I love Rayyan. And I love you. But I can't resist Fabio."

"Yes why? If something is dangerous, don't beat yourself up. Involve me. I'm there for you Aris." Daffa half shouted. He's really desperate now.

"Sorry Daffa sorry." - He embraced Daffa tightly. Arisa knows how much Daffa loves her.

. At all times, Arisa always avoids contact with Rayyan, even when Rayyan asks Arisa to go to her house because Seina is sick, Arisa just reasoned herself tired and had to rest a lot so as not to get sick. Instead, Arisa asks Rayyan to take Raisa alone. And that Rayyan did it by force. But always, everything repeats until Raisa feels fed up because when she goes to Rayyan's house, all Seina and mother talk about is Arisa. At first Raisa also told him, but the longer, he felt his presence was not needed. All I want is Arisa.

One day, Rayyan returns to meet Raisa to see Seina. Raisa resolutely rejected Rayyan's invitation.

"Raisa. Sein really needs you."

"No Rayyan. Sein never needed me. All he wanted was Aris. You think my heart doesn't hurt? I was there, but I didn't think I was."

"Sheena..."

"It's Rayyan. I don't want to be Aris' replacement. I want to be appreciated as myself."

"Well, if you don't want to, it's okay." Instead of persuading, Rayyan instead made Raisa more crowded. Raisa was really fed up with Rayyan's very indifferent attitude towards her.

Until finally, after the internship, Rayyan painstakingly persuaded Arisa to meet him. They decided to meet in a park. Again, Arisa refused to explain the meaning of what people were suggesting. Even blatantly Arisa shows his closeness to Fabio in front of Rayyan. Fabio invites Arisa to his meeting point with Rayyan. Although Arisa's facial expression looks flat, Rayyan still feels jealous.

And it was not felt, the wedding preparations for Tio and Diana accelerated. Arisa's getting restless. He persuades Tio to withdraw from the marriage. But Tio only responded with a joke, he just thought that Arisa was not ready if parted with Tio.

"Just calm. Brother will always be with you." Ejek Tio rubbed Arisa's head with anxiety.

"Bu-not so big brother." Rengek Arisa who does not know where to talk from. "Aris wants to talk to you for a minute." Continue with doubt.

Tio could only follow Arisa's desire to talk to him. He was also curious about his relationship with Fabio which is difficult to believe.

"Fabio knows about the relationship of father and other women." Lirih Arisa after gathering her intention and courage. Tio looked up at what Arisa said.

"Then, what does that have to do with you accepting Fabio?" Tio asked who still did not understand completely.

"Fabio will spread this news to the media if I don't accept him as husband."

"Aishhh Aris. Why don't you just let him do it."

"I'm thinking of my brother and father."

"Why should we think about? From now on, you're suffering alone."

"I'm scared. I'm too afraid to be the cause of our family's split. I was afraid that if I rejected Fabio, then my brother and father's careers would be dimmed. Everything you've fought for will just crumble. I'm afraid it's brother." Broke was already a sense of tightness that Arisa endured for a long time.

"When and when you always think of others, but you suffer. The news will boom only for some time, after which it will disappear and be forgotten by itself. While living with Fabio, you might-"

"Did you just believe it? Aris. Brother doesn't want to live a quiet life if you bear this heavy burden."

"No brother. I'm sure Fabio won't hurt me."

"Aris, again you can't protect me." Lirih Tio embraced Arisa tightly.

All the secrets that only Tio knows, until the wedding day Tio takes place, of course all invited guests come from various circles. At the moment Oma Galuh looks very excited and radiant because Rayyan is always with Raisa, while Arisa is only with Fabio. Fabian wasn't with him because he was studying outside the city as he said at the time.

Again, Rayyan asks Arisa to explain the meaning of all the rumors that Arisa never tepis. It felt like Rayyan really did not believe the reality.

"Risa. please"

"What else is Aray? You're getting married to Raisa, right?"

"But I only want you Risa..." Rayyan grabs Arisa's hand with a look of hope that Arisa will return to her like she used to.

"I've got Fabio Aray. Don't bother me." Arisa brushed off Rayyan's hand and turned to leave Rayyan alone.

"You've changed Risa." He did not look away from Arisa. Even Rayyan saw the sad look on Arisa's face as Arisa turned to her as if she didn't want to leave. Rayyan narrowed her eyes to make sure what she saw was true.

Until the end of college, after undergoing thesis sessions, now they finally graduated and some time after, graduation events were held. Many female juniors were scrambling to take pictures with Rayyan. Because for them, it was only this last time they met Rayyan. Rayyan turned her head for a moment to Arisa who did not show any expression of jealousy. On purpose, Rayyan shows her sweet side and tries to make sure that Arisa is not jealous.

Who would have thought, Arisa moved and passed towards her classroom. He asked the students who were gathered to leave him alone in the class. After all, Arisa's heart is so sliced to see the man she loves after Rama has to get close to another girl. Arisa was sobbing with her head down in her lap and only on the edge of her hand. Rayyan approached Arisa and grabbed her hand, and at that moment Arisa looked up to show her beautiful face with a makeup patch that broke with tears. Rayyan looked down at Arisa's face that was incessantly crying. His cry was quite loud, Rayyan felt that Arisa was enduring the intense pain in her chest.

"Arisa.." - Rayyan even though her tongue feels faint because she is disappointed in Arisa. Arisa moved quickly then hugged Rayyan tightly while continuing to sob.

"You didn't even call me Risa." His whine got tighter and tighter hugging Rayyan.

"Sorry.." Rayyan again returned Arisa's embrace. He really misses his favorite girl. After a long time felt lost somewhere, now he hugged her tightly.

"I love you Aray..." Rayyan more and more softly heard Arisa's confession. He doesn't know what to do. After this, he had to completely stay away from Arisa.

"Risa. forgive me." Rayyan also sobbed in Arisa's arms. "I love you so much. I really don't want to part with you." Then again made Daffa smile bitterly from the doorway and Citra who wiped her tears as it carried away her feelings. He knows how much love both of them feel.

. Oma Galuh smiled so happily at Rayyan. After home, a moody Rayyan sat alone in the front garden. It was amazing to see Rayyan there. Because as far as they know, Rayyan never once went to the park, even though it was just a walk.

Oma Galuh approached Rayyan and tried to re-negotiate.

"Did you remember Aray's promise?" Rayyan nodded slowly and uninspired.

"So?" Oma hesitantly asked for Rayyan's certainty.

"Allow Aray with Risa for a day. As a sign of farewell." His words turned to Oma with teary eyes. Oma was surprised to find Rayyan's weak side only because of Arisa.

"alright. But after that-"

"Already Oma. Without being reminded, Aray still remembers. Now leave Aray alone." Rayyan interjected by refraining from getting angry.

. At the same time, Fabio billed Arisa's promise. And Arisa made the same last request as Rayyan. Fabio was forced to agree despite the weight. Intention to seize the company Artaris, he is instead tied to Arisa who he never expected would be the first girl to make him fall in love.

. The next day, Rayyan picks up Arisa after getting approval from Oma. Rayyan takes Arisa to her apartment on the grounds that something is left behind. Although awkward, Arisa still follows Rayyan.

Arriving at the apartment, Rayyan did not speak anymore and instead locked the door and kissed Arisa's lips violently. Arisa pushes Rayyan and she manages to escape Rayyan, but Rayyan pulls Arisa's hand back into her arms.

"Are we not in love with each other?"

"What are you doing Aray?" Arisa's squealing started to glaze over.

"We don't want to split up, do we? Why don't we just do it?" Rayyan threw Arisa roughly onto the bed.

"Aray.. please don't." Screaming Arisa hugged her own body trembling in fear.
