. "Sister princess. Promise me yes. Don't leave Sein again." Her whine looked up and revealed her unkempt face made Arisa speechless and smiled faintly as she slightly recalled the familiar face of a little child who resembled the girl who was hugging her.

"Did the older sister also forget about Sein?" Ask later.

"I'm sorry, but I'm glad you're okay. And. You're this big now." The reply that patted both of Sein's cheeks was fatigued. Although she is big, Arisa feels Seina is still a child.

Fortunately Raisa had told about Seina to Arisa, until now Arisa did not hurt Seina too much because she forgot her.

"Sister... Sein misses sister. Aray's brother also left Sein. Sein was lonely" Hearing that, Arisa turned to Rayyan and looked at her sharply. Rayyan narrowed to find such a piercing gaze.

"Sein.. let's go home!" Rayyan grabbed Seina's hand which was still tightly hugging Arisa.

"don't want. Sein wants to be with the princess." Seina brushed off the rough hand of Rayyan who was getting upset and lost patience.

"Not what Aray... Sein let me be the one to accompany. If you want to go home,-"

"Who are you? On what basis did you tell me to go home, and for what reason would you accompany my sister." 'Deg' Arisa's heart suddenly thumped hard and her heart felt slashed by a knife and the wound widened when Arisa got a look no less sharp than Rayyan.

"That's it. Don't pretend you remember everything, I know you don't remember me or my sister." He then forcefully pulled Seina away from Arisa's embrace. Seina grimaced in pain due to Rayyan's strong grasp and made her arm joints slightly dislocate.

"Sister. Sick sister.." whine Seina who started crying hard and looked so limp following Rayyan's quick steps.

"Aray. pity Sein. Don't pull it like that. He's in pain." Arisa's words running after Seina and grabbing Rayyan's hand made her stop and look rough at Arisa.

"Take him off Aray. I won't forgive you until something happens to Sein." Firmly Arisa forced to let go of Rayyan's grasp.

Dimas who saw Seina in pain, immediately ran over and grabbed Seina's hand.

"Where is sick?" Tanya Dimas slowly rubbed Seina's arm gently.

"I-this." he answered reaching for the source of the still throbbing pain.

"What's wrong. It's not fatal. If you don't force a careless move, the pain will no longer be felt." He said again patting slowly Seina's cheek.

Realizing the situation, Dimas invites Seina to go first leaving Rayyan and Arisa to talk. Rayyan screeched staring at the departure of her sister with the man she considered to be her rival.

"Aray.." said Arisa did not make Rayyan look at her.

"I'm sorry. For some things." Again, Rayyan did not respond and chose to turn her face the other way.

"First, for the annulment of your marriage to my brother. Second, for those of me who don't recognize you. Third, for I may still think of you because you are the cure of my pain after Rama's departure. Although I forgot, but without you, I feel empty. And. "his words came to a halt when Rayyan suddenly left. Arisa just sighed deeply and exhaled slowly. His heart really hurt right now. Not noticeably, his tears condensed blocking his view, and immediately fell down along with him sitting on a garden chair. Rayyan looked back for a moment and looked at the sad nan when she saw Arisa was so sad because of her.

Seeing Rayyan returning alone, Dimas frowned and got his own answer when Rayyan turned his face away from Dimas's gaze. What's more, Rayyan's rude attitude towards Seina made Dimas' heart unsettled and followed Arisa to the place where he left her.

"Aris..." Arisa looked up as Dimas slowly called out to her.

"Dim... Is my fault with Aray too great? It seems he hates me. It feels so cramped Dim." He sighed while wiping the tears that were still slowly breaking.

"It wasn't your fault. Everything has become your destiny and Rayyan."

"But Dim..."

"You better go home, it's late afternoon. Your parents must be worried about you." Arisa just nodded slowly and followed Dimas.

. Seno was playing Ghava in the middle of the room and several times there was a fight between him and Tio. Until the moment Arisa entered the house, Seno frowned because the one who delivered Arisa was not her cousin. This is more shocking than the news about Arisa's amnesia.

"Aris. How are you." His approaching voice spread out his hands. Then Arisa immediately ran and took shelter behind Dimas from fear.

"I guessed it. You forgot me too." His words are now sluggish.

"Who are you?" Pekik Arisa was full of caution.

"I'm your brother who you love more than Tio." The answer is still trying to approach Arisa who continues to avoid Seno.

"My brother is just one." Arisa's reply innocently made Tio chuckle to hear it.

"If you don't keep avoiding me. I won't eat you."

"don't want. Your face looks dirty." Instantly, Seno's face became gloomy to find an innocent answer from Arisa.

"That really hurts Aris..."

"Sister..who is he?" Arisa asked Tio with a very innocent face.

"I'm your lecturer's a fool." Seno fatly patted Arisa's silent forehead letting Seno approach her. Looking at Arisa who was seen trying to remember what she said, Seno sighed heavily for a moment and turned around casually sitting on the sofa.

"Sorry. I really don't remember." Lirih Arisa looked down lethargic to see Seno's disappointment because of it.

"Not what Aris. I-i understand. I'm not forcing you to remember me, I'm disappointed, but if this is the truth you remember only Tio, what can I do? And I hope you remember everything soon, especially your family and Rayyan. He desperately searches for you secretly and only he knows that Fabio is the only person who knows where you are."

"Fabio?" Arisa frowned and seemed to ask 'who Fabio is.'

"He's your future husband." Arisa looks a little stunned when she hears Seno's reply.

"Why can? But I don't feel..do not-don't.." A moment Arisa a little see the memory of Fabio who kissed her before leaving. And at that instant, Arisa shook her head violently to dismiss the thought that she felt was just a dream.

"Why? Sick again?" Tio approached and grabbed Arisa's head.

"No brother. I'm fine." Tio was increasingly staring at the sister when he heard the same answer as before, where Arisa who always said okay even though her condition was dying.

"Don't say so Aris.if there's anything, say it honestly."

"I'm really fine, brother." Arisa put up two fingers to just calm Tio's worries.

"Why do you always have a sad face in front of me? It's gonna be ugly like that brother." Canda Arisa pointed at Seno who was wide-eyed to hear it, but managed to make Tio chuckle.

"Did Reza help you make a lot of jokes like this?" Whisper Tio who seemed to not want anyone to know the conversation.

"Eh? Why Reza's sister?"

"Yes, it could be."

"Hemmm but brother was right. Reza and Mother are very good. They pay close attention to everything about me. Oh yes, brother knows? My sheep are 15% healing. Mother is very strict on my diet. For four years now, I didn't know what it was like to have a fever, flu, cough, most sneeze from dust. But, last I felt pain in my stomach only when I woke up from a coma. And it was so painful, it felt like I was going to die then. Somehow my life before, why can I suffer from this painful disease when life here is very fulfilled. If I want to eat, I'll just call my aunt. Brother Tio...."

"Aris, don't go on." Tio's snapping stopped Arisa's babbling. Arisa herself flinched when she saw Tio's tears break and grabbed her and held her so tightly.

"Sister beg of you. Don't let you remember the reason why you got that way. Let those memories be lost so that your heart is fine."

"What is the reason it hurts more?" But Tio was only silent and preferred to give warmth that he never felt from Raisa.

"Why my sister likes to hug me. What if my brother-in-law is jealous and angry with me?" Hearing him, Seno and Tio laughed at the same time.

"You're just Aris." Said Seno who patted the head of Arisa who was still in the arms of Tio.

Dimas smiled faintly looking at the scene in front of him. For a moment he missed Rama which he obviously cannot achieve now.

"Aris..."

"Ehhh Dim.thank you." said Arisa interjected and just turned her face without taking off her arms from Tio. The two embrace each other and like releasing a longing that each does not want to let go of each other.

. At night, Yugito tells Arisa to meet him in the study. Arisa is surprised to see Tio who is in her house at this time, because all she knows is that Tio has come home along with Seno. Slowly Arisa sat down and looked at her father and brother alternately.

"W-did Aris make a mistake?" Arisa asked after she sat opposite Yugito.

"Aris..past I'm sorry if this is gonna bother you. But, only you can help me now." Arisa was getting frowned at not understanding.

"What's dad?" Ask again.

"Our company has a decline in shares. And if it's let go, maybe in a month we'll be bankrupt." Tio's reply made Arisa stunned.

"And it just so happens that the Pratama family company is willing to help our company, but on condition that you join them." Obviously Tio's next.

"With a sense, Aris has to work there?" Tio nodded in response. For some reason, Arisa's feeling suddenly worried to find the request of her family.

"Is there no other way?" Ask Arisa then.

"There was. You must be willing to marry Bayu Andra Respati."
