UNEQUAL

. Sarah pecked and the moment she was silent, her tears were getting louder. Whatdoes thatmean? That question first comes to Sarah's reluctant mind to believe that Arisa is losing her memory right now.

"Son... You don't remember your mother?" Sarah asked withstanding the tightness that pressed against her chest.

"Mother huh?" Asked Arisa who was about to move but stopped because the throbbing in her head was so painful. He grabbed the back of his head and grimaced with the extreme pain from the impact and injuries from bouncing away.

"Princess. I'm sorry brother." Lirih Reza was getting tighter squeezing Arisa's hand which looked at her in confusion and her eyes narrowed between wonder and headache.

"Sister?"

"Yes. Brother won't hurt you again."

"Sister Tio?" He asked while holding his head.

"Tio doesn't exist." Reply Reza who has not realized there is something wrong with Arisa.

"Then, who are you?" He asked softly but as if a lightning struck the mother and child in front of Arisa.

"Whatchu mean? Princess don't joke." Reza said half-screaming.

"Master please calm down." Scolds a nurse. Arisa forced herself to sit down and her head turned more and more. In his head right now was just empty space. There was no memory of anything he could remember why he was so badly injured. His head was bandaged, his hands, his legs, even his stomach were in the bandage. He felt his waist feel sore and moist.

"Dok... What does that mean?" reza asked suddenly in despair as she turned to the doctor behind her.

"Please mother and master come out first." the doctor responded obediently by both. The doctor then examines and analyzes the results of the examination.

"How's doc?" Sarah asked as the doctor walked out of the examination room.

"Your daughter has retograde amnesia in which the patient's memory is lost due to a brain injury." Obviously the doctor sighed deeply and looked at Sarah wistfully.

"Why can my daughter's memory recover?" The doctor nodded slowly to answer Sarah's question.

"I haven't found a patient who has amnesia completely healed, but maybe if something stimulates his memory, your daughter can recall. Like taking her somewhere or introducing her to the people closest to you." Clearly again. Hearing that, Reza was getting desperate and did not know what to do. Because this happened completely was purely his fault. Even the assumption on Arisa who played fire with Fabio was just a misunderstanding. At that time, he hated Arisa too much. However, seeing him at the end of death, he felt tremendous regret and did not want to lose his sister figure again repeated. After the doctor allowed himself to look back on Arisa's condition, he tried to calm down even though his heart was agitated and could not accept the reality.

"Sister. I can't remember my brother." Lirih Arisa tried to penetrate the empty space in her mind, but still she did not find a clue point to remember everything.

"What's wrong. We just try together. Slow down, don't force it. I'm sure you'll remember everything again." Reza tried to calm himself. Sarah is increasingly powerless to hold back her tears, why amnesia? What should he say to Yugito if Arisa he finds with him in this miserable condition.

For days, Tio did not find the existence of Arisa in all Bandung. He searched every corner of the city, even the outskirts of the village he traced. However, he did not enter the hospital because it was unthinkable Arisa was in the hospital. As well as Daffa, he was completely desperate. His heart became worried. Amongst having to believe that Arisa is still alive, or is gone. If he's alive, why doesn't he find any trace, and if he's gone, why is all the evidence more of Citra than Arisa.

Tio decides to go to Reza's house, and Reza happens to be at home. Reza is surprised to find Tio and he guesses that Tio knows that Arisa is with him.

"Did you see my sister? Has my sister ever been here? Answer me honestly or your company will be destroyed.!" Firmly Tio did not give a chance to Reza answer at least one.

"Where's your mom? And why is your face so tense? Is Aris really here?"

"Why are you asking me? Why don't you just search my house? didn't your sister already die one, and the other one is married to the heir of the Pratama family? And if you want to destroy that company, go ahead. Isn't that Yugito's own company? He'll take it back after I recover, won't he?" Reza smiled bitterly at the back of Tio's consecutive questions.

"Cihhhhhhhh..." Tio passed by and left Reza holding himself back from feeling restless.

"Are you my boyfriend?" Asked Arisa innocently looking at Zain who is now replacing Sarah to take care of him. Zain was surprised and stared deeply at Arisa who looked really upsetting him.

"Emmmm. But we're close." Zain answered and turned his face away.

"Ohh... Have you ever expressed love to me, and I continue to reject you? Or do you have a boyfriend and I like you?" Asked Arisa again with a completely innocent face. Zain looked back at Arisa, his heart completely out of control. His words were so loud that he himself heard them.

"The first question is correct. I've expressed my feelings, but you still love your ex." Answer then. Arisa lowered her head then grabbed Zain's hand and looked at him softly.

"A scary dream." Said suddenly.

"Why?" Zain asked who was both astonished and curious because Arisa suddenly shook her head violently.

"What's wrong." she answered, throwing a smile so sweet.

. Time passed, all the ways Reza and Sarah did for Arisa's recovery, but 3 months of no improvement made Reza give up and prefer to heal it naturally. That is by taking Arisa to some places that Arisa had stopped and revealed all the facts about her.

"What is my real name?" He asked innocently as he stared at the two different data files of himself in the middle room.

"This one." Answer Sarah pointed to the deed with the name Arisa Fandhiya Putri.

"Ohh... Then, where's dad? Why is it that since I realized, you've never been around?" Ask again with innocence that makes anyone anxious, but makes Sarah more sad.

"Mother is actually your stepmother, and now you've been divorced a long time with your father." Clearly responded to a slow nod by Arisa.

"Ohh.... Then, why am I going with you?"

"It's not you who's coming, but you're leaving the house and getting here for a variety of reasons. Mother will not tell it so that you remember the reasons themselves."

"But I don't think I want to remember anything anymore. Every time I try to remember, my head hurts and my heart hurts too."

"want to walk?" Sarah's question diverted the conversation and managed to make Arisa smile and enthusiastic.

"Where's mother?" I followed Sarah from behind. Arisa grabs her necklace, she always dreams about it, but everyone she dreams of is always unclear.

"Mother.I don't think I want to let go of this thing." He said slowly with full innocence typical of 5-year-olds. Sarah just smiled not answering Arisa's babble. Although his memories were all lost on everyone, his heart never lied that he still had instincts on those closest to him.

. Four years passed with the same conditions, Arisa returned to work for the past year at Reza's company. He is now closer to Fahri because he is a division with him. And in that one year, Arisa always had a fuss and quarreled with Vera. Vera, who is now known to have broken up with Zain, feels unacceptable because of Arisa's confession the other day that Arisa and Zain are lovers. In fact, Zain and Fahri know Arisa only intends to make the atmosphere hotter. Because Arisa who is now Arisa is arrogant, arrogant and jolly. He always oppresses anyone who messes with his life. Even Arisa is often rumored as a bad woman because Arisa is very open to every man.

"Sister Fahri.." call Arisa spoiled.

"What?" He turned to the sweet girl who was showing her head from behind the walls of the room.

"Let's have lunch." Invite the already spoiled pout makes Fahri laugh. Fahri keeps his mouth shut that he is Arisa's senior when he finds out that Arisa has amnesia. And he realized, there was no sign Arisa would remember him.

"Hey look! They're very close. Said he was Zain's girlfriend. But..."

"Suttt don't talk about him. You want to be chopped up by him? If you don't have the guts of Vera, don't even dare talk about Princess." His reprimand was quick when his co-worker was so enthusiastic about gossiping about Arisa.

Arisa smiled as she passed the two, she then passed Zain.

"Wanna eat?" Zain's question stopped Arisa's steps and he glanced sharply at Fahri beside Arisa.

"Put. I'm first yes. let's sir." Fahri politely said ahead of Arisa and Zain.

"Okay sister.." reply Arisa.

. One day on holiday, Reza and Arisa are exercising in a park not far from the office. As usual, Fahri is just taking a walk photographing everything he finds interesting. Then accidentally, he sees two people who are known publicly as brothers. He meticulously took a picture of Arisa who was running casually. Then, a thin smile was put on Fahri's face when he saw the results of his photo.

"You're still the same. But different. Now you're no longer Arisa, but someone else, Princess!" Said slowly.
