. "Are you going to put off eating after this?" Sindir Tio beside him. But Arisa did not hear what Tio said. Tio looked at Arisa then glanced at Rayyan, Sighing heavily because Arisa did not listen to her. But they prefer to look at each other with Rayyan.

"Meet!. Looks like you want to talk to him." Tio.

"Eh? What's?" Arisa turned to Tio and looked at him in wonder.

"I'll wait here." Tio said coldly.

"I didn't say anything." Arisa said no less cold.

"But it looks like he met you first." Arisa turned back to Rayyan. And right, Rayyan walked up to him and stopped right in front of him.

"You're cured?" His eyes were still cold as usual.

"What about Seina?" Tanya Arisa turned to the end of the hallway.

"You didn't answer my question." Rayyan.

"I'm better." Arisa's reply was convincing. "Is Seina okay?" Arisa is worried.

"He still needs to be treated. And...." Rayyan deliberately did not continue her speech making Arisa turn to him with a curious face as well as worry.

"He whines to see you." Rayyan turned to the end of the hall.

"Tell him, I'll see him when he's cured." Arisa leaves Rayyan.

Rayyan was still staring at Arisa's hair that passed further away.

. After finishing college, Raisa stopped by a pastry shop to buy her favorite Arisa brownies capuccino.

While choosing, Raisa accidentally meets Daffa.

"Sister-in-law?" Daffa said with a surprised face. Raisa looked at Daffa flatly. "What are you doing here?" Ask Daffa.

"I want to buy her favorite Arisa brownies." Raisa is back focusing on the storefront.

"Ahhh I happen to want to know what her favorite is." Daffa girang's.

"Capuccino brownies." Raisa pointed at the cake in front of her. The shopkeeper took it in friendly.

"Let me pay." Daffa took out his wallet.

"What?" Raisa glanced at Daffa in surprise.

"I said let me pay. And you gave it to Arisa as a gift from me." Daffa smiled expectantly.

"But...."

"Come help me.." Daffa begged Raisa.

"Hemmmm okay.thank you." Raisa receives a cake from Daffa.

"I'm also grateful to you." Daffa smiled.

"And you're alone? What are you doing?" Raisa started to wonder.

"I want to buy Seina a cake." Java Daffa chose the cake in front of him.

"Latin? Do you have a boyfriend?" Suddenly, Raisa's face turned irritated.

"Bu-not... Seina's a 5-year-old girl, she's Rayyan's sister." Daffa Obviously.

"Eh? Really true?" Daffa nodded. "Is he having a birthday?" Raisa continued to ask.

"No. He's sick." Daffa answered pointing at the caramel cake and gestured for the waiter to wrap it.

"Can I come?" Raisa asked quietly even barely audible to Daffa.

"What?" Daffa scrunched his forehead.

"Ahh no. I have to go first. My sister may have gone home." Raisa hurried away.

"Send my regards to Arisa." Daffa shouted a little because Raisa was getting away and passed from behind the door.

. Arriving home, Raisa feels surprised because Tio's car is not home.

However, just as Raisa was about to enter the door, the sound of a car came. Her face was delighted to find Arisa coming down from Tio's car.

"Why is it so long?" Raisa said a little sulking and put her lips together.

"You waited a long time?" Ask Tio.

"Not really. I just came." Java Raisa.

"I want to go to the room." Arisa said without caring about Raisa.

"Wait a minute.I have something for you." Raisa pulls Arisa's hand.

Arisa then fell silent to see Raisa take the cake box from her car.

"That's for me?" Arisa stared at the box that Raisa was carrying.

"Of course, this is special, and from the person who thinks you're special." Raisa looks very happy.

"You're supposed to think I'm special, right?" Said Arisa in a mocking tone. But now Raisa is not upset by the ridicule of her sister, but smiles wider as if she got a gift that came down from the sky.

"Eitsss is not just me, but the man who secretly admires you. He bought you this, and a greeting of love for you." Raisa's words turned around mocking Arisa by grabbing Arisa's chin which was silent astonished by her brother's behavior.

"I got the gift, but you feel happy."

"So? How's it?" Raisa asked in a mocking tone.

"What's how?" Both of them entered the house.

Tio looked at his two younger siblings from near the car, then went back in and drove the car away from home.

Looked at the photos that lined up. How wonderful childhood was, that Arisa wanted to come back again.

Where when mom and dad care about him.

"Sorry Arisa. Looks--"

"Hemmm so your friend likes me?" Arisa interrupted and turned her eyes away.

"Ahh it seems so." Raisa's down.

"Why does Arisa always switch the conversation if I want to apologize for my mama's more focused attitude towards me." Raisa Mumbled.

"Hey.... You didn't hear me?" Arisa said annoyed.

"Ahh. I'm sorry I'm daydreaming." Raisa threw a smile with furrowed brows.

"What's his name?" Ask Arisa

"Ehh? Who?" Raisa looked at Arisa in wonder.

"Your friend. Who likes me." Said Arisa in a annoyed tone.

"Ohhhh. He's Daffa." Arisa moved and went to her room.

The look on Arisa's face hides her feelings of regret. Raisa guiltily intends to follow him, but is stopped because her attempt to persuade Arisa will be in vain.

After arriving at her room, Arisa heard a little slamming the door.

"I screwed up again." Lirih Raisa's down on the sofa.

. "You crying? Wh why? Broken love?" Mom's voice suddenly sounded nearby. Mama sat down beside Raisa.

Raisa thoughtlessly, immediately hugged the mother with a whimpering voice that grew louder.

"Is he cheating? Or violence against you?" Ask my mom again.

"I don't have a girlfriend ma.." Raisa answered on the sidelines.

"Then?" Mama looked at wonder.

"Arisa... will she continue like that? Until when will he be alone like that."

Mama just fell silent to what Raisa was complaining about. It is only natural that Raisa wants to be with her twin sister. But Arisa's attitude is now clearly away from the family, and only Tio can handle it.

Mama got up from her seat by taking off her hug slowly on Raisa. Step by step it feels heavy. The longer, the stranger the child.

Doubtfully my mother ventured to open the door of Arisa's room.

"It's only natural that Arisa's always like this. I was clearly being unfair to my children. Even now I myself know nothing about Arisa who is obviously my biological daughter. Indirectly I told him to be independent before his time. I'm sorry, son. Words can't represent your mother's affection for you." Mama muttered slowly stepping onto the open balcony door. Then stop when looking at Arisa who fell asleep with a sitting position leaning and hands that support her cheeks. Arisa is vaguely aware of the presence of mama near her. But refused to open his eyes.

Slowly, my hand approached Arisa's hair.

"Even mama's too shy to just give you warmth." Mama muttered with tears. Retracting her hand that almost touched Arisa's head. Mama shut her mouth as much as possible so that her crying is not known by Arisa.

Arisa opened her eyes with a clear droplet when she realized that the mother who had stepped left her.

"Why would you meet me if you didn't give me what I needed in my condition like this. Not even touching me at all. How can I not be envious, mama always gives her attention if Raisa is sick" muttered Arisa still did not change her position.

Mama does not know, many times Arisa always walked and sat on the balcony with the intention of dropping herself. But many times his intention was also scrapped because he thought that his father and mother would care for him someday. And plus bi Ina always thwarted her suicide attempts. However, bi Ina never once told her father and mother about the incident.

But with what Arisa had just felt with the indifference of mama, it was clear that mama did not love her.

Arisa again walked towards the balcony. As usual, Arisa sat facing her room. Look in and look back.

Just when turning his body, his hand was pulled quickly by the father who made himself sit in front of the father.

'Plak' her cheek was hot when dad slapped her.

"What are you thinking?" Shouted dad full of anger. Arisa touched the cheek that hit the slap.

Arisa heard as much as she wanted to while continuing to rub her cheeks.

Dad was speechless looking at Arisa who was just crying without a sound.

"I'm sorry dad.." dad crouched down trying to reach Arisa's face. But Arisa quickly brushed off my father's hand.

"Why is dad in my way? Let me die, father, for what I live. My mom and dad obviously hate me. You never loved me. You hated me, didn't you?" Arisa said by covering her face. The longer, the louder the crying.

It sounds like an anger that has been unleashed at one time.

"No. I don't hate you, son. I love you." Irene father calming.

"No. Dad never loved me. The proof is that my father unhesitatingly slapped me, while to Raisa my father is always meek." Lirih Arisa's.

Father fell silent and stood up to look at Arisa who was still sitting. Her heart was not calm, then pulled Arisa's hand forcefully into her room.

Dad locked the balcony door and confiscated the key, afraid it would happen again.

"Dad, don't give me the key back." Arisa came back crying loudly.

"No. I don't want you to do anything dangerous like that." Firmly father left and closed the door of Arisa's room.

Arisa sits beside her bed.

"It shouldn't be so. I should understand it's not just Raisa who needs affection."

Auntie opened the room door and approached Arisa who was endlessly crying.

Arisa then embraces bi Ina tightly when bi Ina sits next to her, accompanied by a mouthful that can not be stopped.

Who knows, from behind the wall beside the door, Raisa who was silent behind the wall. His breath seemed to feel tight, when he saw Arisa who returned increasingly weakened and unconscious.

"I want to meet Rama bi.." said Arisa before really falling asleep in the lap of aunty.
