. Arisa decided to tell about her meeting with Daffa which she felt could not be hidden anymore. Reza is surprised to tell Arisa to stay in her apartment so that later if Tio looks for Arisa, he will not find her. Amidst Arisa's concern, he daydreamed while continuing to walk through each room and accidentally hit Fahri again making his glasses fall.


"Oh. sorry brother." He spoke with a typical voice of spoiled Arisa. Fahri immediately froze, it turns out that right in front of him is Arisa.


"You're still alive? Who died in that accident, Aris? Wh-why are you here?" Arisa was stunned and froze to find consecutive questions from Fahri.


"Arise? Is this really you?" Again, Fahri asked and tried to convince himself that indeed in front of him is Arisa. Arisa lowered her head and cried without a sound in front of Fahri.


"Is it because of Rayyan and your twin brother?" Arisa looked up at the sudden question, and probably never thought of it.


"Nope-no. I-i don't...."


"So you're Arisa?" Arisa nodded slowly while looking down not daring to look at Fahri.


"Arisa... How can you be here? And. wasn't it on the news you've-"


"That's not me. That's.... Imagery." Arisa interrupted Fahri's words.


"Partner? Arisa I thought you were. You sacrificed your friend for your own sake." Now Fahri's tone changed to feel stifling for Arisa. It's true, but it's not the truth.


"Sister.not like that. I didn't know there would be a tragedy. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone and asked Citra for help. I'd better be dead."


"Whatever your reasons, you still have to take responsibility for your friend's death."


"Yes I know brother. But.had it. Brother won't understand what I'm going through."


"Yes. Indeed indeed. I can't possibly understand the problem of rich people who should be grateful to have it all, but instead-" Fahri's 'plak' stopped talking when Arisa's hard slap landed right on her cheek.


"So all this time my brother's been looking at me like that? I think brother is different. I don't think brother is like them. Why look at me like a happy child and everything I can get. Not really brother." Arisa then rushed away from the presence of Fahri who was frozen to hear Arisa's statement.

. Arisa turns the pencil while daydreaming at her desk. Eva shook her head in response to Arisa, whose performance quality has recently decreased. He was more daydreaming and seemed indifferent to work. Until he is summoned by Eva herself to his room and given a loud reprimand by Eva.


"Sorry mom, I'll focus even more." Said Arisa lowered her head and returned to her desk.


"Have you forgotten this?" Zain asked who placed Arisa's glasses on his desk.


"Oh.thank you." Arisa turned her head for a moment and took it and wore it with a sad look.


"You why? Not usually?" Zain asked again, pulling up the chair at the side and sitting next to Arisa.


"My senior brother already knows I'm alive." Arisa replies back to twist the pencil in front of her.


"Continue?" Arisa sighs at the silly question that Zain throws out.


"So sooner or later my family will know and it could be, Fabio will find me too." Instead of panicking, Zain looked relaxed with Arisa's answer.


"Have not thought about it. He wouldn't dare divulge this secret." Zain's words made Arisa feel astonished, he looked at Zain with a fixed and curious face.


"I've arranged it. Just relax!" Again, Zain simply replied in a joking tone making Arisa sigh in annoyance.


"Am I killing myself?" Cetus Arisa's.


"Ehhh don't. You'reinsane. I'll also kill Reza if you get hurt." Again Arisa felt astonished, why Reza to the extent of protecting Arisa through Zain's supervision.


. In short, during the break Fahri met Arisa. He invites Arisa to talk in a place that maybe not too many people pass by to anticipate someone to hear their conversation.


"Aris..."


"Princess. Now my name is Princess. Arisa's dead." He interrupted quickly.


"Ar-sorry Princess. Maybe my words hurt your heart. I don't really know what's going on. I shouldn't have said that. Sorry." His words were down next to Arisa.


"What a hell, brother. Others would think so if they didn't know the truth. Well, maybe I'll be stamped as a killer. I just have to wait when the family and the police pick me up." The answer sounds relaxed.


"Aris... Do you think I'll tell your family? You don't trust me? Arisa. I will not spread your existence without your permission. Even though your brother promised great rewards to anyone who found you, I don't think it'll matter if you don't want to go back to your family. I heard the rumors. At that time, your twin brother will be married to Rayyan, and you will be married to a young businessman who is being talked about everywhere. He's Fabian's brother, right? Arga Fabio's." Arisa came down and was silent not responding to any words at length Fahri.


"Is brother Tio looking for me?" Arisa asked as she digested a bit of Fahri's words. Fahri turned his head and nodded answering Arisa's question.


"I also met Daffa the other day." Instantly Fahri was surprised by staring fixedly at Arisa's face.


"Aris.." - Fahri hesitantly continued.


"Call me Princess Brother. Don't call that name again." Arisa interrupted quickly.


"All right, forgive me."


"Only my brother knows I'm alive. I'd do anything for brother if brother didn't tell anyone about me."


"Alright Ar-emmm Princess."


"Thank you."


"But when?"


"Eitherway. I don't know.maybe until I completely forget everything. Especially Rayyan. I don't want to remember it anymore. If I may, I'd like to lose my memory so I can forget everything that happened." His words turned to Fahri with teary eyes. Fahri feels the pain if releasing a loved one must marry someone else.


"If you can accept his fate, then you will also be able to forget everything you want to forget."

. The days change, time passes, one day, after Arisa presses the elevator door, she searches for who the guest will meet with Reza officially. Why did Arisa pick him up. Arisa sighed in annoyance as she recalled that these few days Zain was very busy taking care of Reza's busy schedule.


Arisa walks towards the reception desk and waits for the guest Reza refers to.


"Haih... This brother how? He didn't tell me who his guest was." His grunts pulled out the phone and started playing it with focus.


"Mom..emmm Ma'am Princess." Call the girl behind the table.


"Why brother?" Ask Arisa plain.


"Master Arga has arrived." The answer throws a smile. Arisa was unaware of the name that was thrown by Rina. He doesn't think that the one he picked up is Fabio. Arisa was sculpting when she saw Fabio casually enter the main door and walk up to her. Fabio's brows frowned staring fixedly at Arisa's face which clearly looked nervous.


"Why Fabio?" Arisa's mind is still frozen.


"You're Reza's sister?" Fabio's question turned his gaze away from Arisa who nodded in response and followed his footsteps from behind.


"You're sloppy Reza. I'm not as stupid as you think." Inner Fabio smiled cynically then gave the code to his assistant to leave himself and Arisa both in the elevator.


"What's your name?" Fabio asked without looking at Arisa who was standing behind him.


"Pu-Princess sir." Arisa answered nervously. He panicked even more as Fabio turned around and confronted him. Her burly body was getting closer and her face was getting clearer in front of Arisa. Slowly Fabio opened Arisa's glasses and grabbed her hair and smelled her scent.


"You remind me of my future wife dear." Hearing that, Arisa turned her face rudely holding back so that she did not panic. "Do you know the story? He said he died in an accident, and his name was written neatly on a tombstone. His grave was side by side with the lover he loved to death. He left me when I proposed to him. He hated me so much that he chose to die instead of marry me. It's not really sad. I'm the one who fell in love with her, and she betrayed me like that. Do you think he'll die peacefully?" Arisa was silent in silence hearing Fabio really harbored a taste for her.


"Sa-I don't know sir." Arisa was still nervous.


"Why are you so nervous, baby? Are you afraid I'm eating you? Or do you want to cry because I'm in front of you and recognize you?" 'Deg' Arisa stared intently at Fabio hearing Fabio's words.


"Pearly arisa. Why are you pretending you don't recognize me? Do you really hate me? You faked your death. You left me when I was about to marry you. You broke my feelings, heart, and trust. You think changing yourself like this would make me not recognize you? Arisa. Why did you make me fall in love, huh?" Fabio's screams made Arisa squeak and sat down lethargic by crying softly and still holding back.


"Sadly. Why are you the only woman who can't make me angry. You have disappointed me."


"Enough Fabio. Don't talk anymore." Arisa snapped back at Fabio with a sharp look at Fabio's face.


"You dare look at me?" Fabio grabbed Arisa's chin violently and his gaze was much sharper than Arisa's.


"real right. You are Arisa. But why do you hate me, huh? Ilove you. I don't want to lose you." Shouted Fabio releasing his hand from Arisa's chin violently.


"Now, come home with me." Fabio grabs Arisa's hand and forces her to rise.


"No brother. I don't want to." Shouted Arisa trying to break away from Fabio. Then the elevator opens and Arisa bites Fabio's hand until Fabio releases his grip from Arisa. Arisa ran towards Reza's room still crying loudly. He took refuge behind Reza as Fabio caught up with him with a still-angry face.
