oh... mines got problem also... they're slightly lazy when it comes to projects like that. like uploading HQ videos and subtitling, so its really rare to look for some dramas with subs. but i know two group subbers only, but they dont upload it in stream site... they upload it in d-addicts. -_-"

Ep2 Part1

Marina realised that she attacked the wrong twin. Ayana cynically told Marina that she did nothing wrong and she did not steal anyone's boyfriend. MArina was so pissed off, she accused Marliah for raising such rude children. MArina called for Azza and both mother and daughter Ayana to stay away from Zaril. Marina claimed she has gone to see Zaril's mom and they have discussed marriage between Azza and ZAril. Ayana seemed undisturbed by the women's claim, though her mom and twin sister were. Ayana simply told them as Zaril is not married, he doesn't belong to anyone yet. Pissed off by Ayana' bold statement, Marina and her daughter stormed off but not before MArliah telling them that if God has destined any of her children to love and be loved by someone, she gives them her blessing.
At home, Marina asked Azza about Zaril and realised that Azza only knew him for a month and nothing serious has developed between them. But obviously Azza was madly in love with Zaril. MArina vowed that whatever her daughter wants, she will get it for her. And no one can stop her. (such an evil lady! <_< ). Dato Azhar, Marina's husband asked MArina why Azza looked so sad. Marina just told him to stay out and let her handle everything. Dato Azhar was a bit upset by his wife's statement but he doesn't want t create any tension with her.
Arisa, Ayana and their sister, Amal were having a late night chat in their room. Ayana asked Amal how's the progress of the novel she reads. Amal told her sisters how wonderful if one is loved by two handsome man. Arisa (in the blue dress) told their sisters, it's more wonderful if one is loved by one man who loves her wholeheartedly. Ayana made a statement that being in love is simply wonderful. amal teased her because of her relationship with zaril. ayana told her sisters why arisa rite until now doesn't have a boyfriend. arisa simply said she is not ready. amal told her siters that she is sad reading the novel. ayana reminded her sister if wants to become a doctor one day, she has to learn to control her emotions. arisa drew a picture of her family and showed it to her sisters. they teased the picture.

Episode 5

Akif quitted his job and decided to leave malaysia to go to US. Not only he was going there to get his masters but also a way for him to forget Shareen. His family accepted his decision.

As for Arisa and her family, they are definately saddened by the sudden death of ayana. Arisa was the most affected person. It's so hard for her accepts the fact that her twin is dead, as if she has lost a huge part of herself. her mother tells her to strong because this is not what would have wanted. ayana would want arisa to go on living and lead a happy life.

in school, arisa's father, mohamad is also saddened by ayana' death. while he reminiscing his memories of ayana, he was suddenly attacked by a minor heart attack. later, he went to calm his mind. he met firman. he confided in firman about the sudden death of ayana and he has great difficulty handling his daughter's death. firman told him to be strong for the sake of his family.

marliah wonders how long she can be the be the family's strong pillar in the wake of her daughter's death. she has to be strong for the sake of her daughters and husband who are obviously having great difficulty dealing with ayana's death. marliah thinks about her youngest daughter whom she has been slightly neglecting since ayana's death. but it seems amal is stronger than she thinks.

arisa who is mostly affected wrote a letter to mr yusran, the boss of mutiara company that she may not be able to come to work as promised because of a family problem which she refused to explain. mr yusran thinks that it's only right to give her a chance. so, he asked one of his workers to reply arisa' letter saying that the company will give her chance and time to reconsider her decsision.

dato azhar wanted to visit ayana's family to attend the 40th day of ayana's death. (a Muslim ritual). he asked marina to follow her but she refused to and won;t let him take their daughter azza to attend the ceremony. marina stated that she and marliah are no longer family which surprises dato azhar. howver, he insisted he wanted to go because ayana is his niece and mohamad is his cousin.

obviously, arisa tries to avoid zaril and everybody wonders why. they thought that arisa blames zaril for sending the sms that cause ayana to leave house and get into the accident. zaril explained that he lost his handphone some time ago and it was not him who send the sms. arisa did not blame him for ayana's death. but everytime arisa sees zaril's face, she will think of ayana and that hurts her a lot. and arisa knows that zaril feels the same way too because arisa looks exactly like ayana. she asked to be given time and space before she can face zaril ever again.

azza felt guilty about ayana's death as if because she wants zaril, ayana end up dead. but her mother dismissed her thought and says if she is destined to marry zaril, nothing can stop it. (something fishy is going on....)

at the 40th day ceremony, dato azhar met with mohamad and gave his condolances. as for mohamad, he has something to discuss with firman. it seems that he wants to arrange a marriage between firman and arisa. mohamad is very worried that arisa would be too carried away by ayana's death. he discussed with his wife, marliah. arisa overheard their conversation and she is clearly not ready to get married, especially after her sister sudden demise.

not, arisa's friend from university came for a visit. not advised arisa not to be too sad and tells her that life goes on. not advised her to come with her and work in the capital city. arisa agreed and started to work for Mutiara. she bonded with her office mates. mr yusran decided to treat everyone lunch in celebrating arisa's coming to the company.

after work, arisa waited for not and lily to go home. it's a must for arisa to eat some pickled fruits everytime she gets on a bus.

marina wanted to discuss matters between azza and zaril. azza doesn't feel comfortable to talk about marriage because ayan has just died 3 months ago. but marina devishly persuaded her daughter saying that she doesn't take action now, zaril may turn his attention to arisa who looks exactly like ayana. azza followed her mother instruction and call zaril to meet him. when she meets him, azza tells him to stop being sad and forget about ayana. zaril wants her to leave him. when azza refused to, zaril did. ayana was sad that zaril refused to accept her and went home. marina knew that things didn't go as planned.

after a week working for Mutiara, arisa suddenly woke up very late to go to work. she had to skip bath and just brush her teeth and spray some perfume.

it seems that marina is having an affair with another man and azza overheard her conveersation with the gy on the phone. anyways, marina had planned something evil. she paid one of the workers at where zaril works to put drugs in his drink causing him to be drowsy and sleepy all day. his boss is curious and found some pills in his bag.
