Caca Cantika is a beautiful girl who has just finished her studies in Yogyakarta. On the day of her graduation, Caca got word that her older sister Baim, would soon marry her lover Julie Abraham.
Of course Caca who had never seen his sister-in-law candidates, had to go home and attend her brother's wedding. Caca came home greeted with warm smiles and hugs from Mama and Papa.
Caca wants to see her brother, Baim. Still vividly remembered in Caca's memory how Baim often called himself and told about his love story with Julie. How her sister loved and loved Julie Abraham with all her heart.
According to Baim's story, he and Julie only met for 6 months and immediately decided to date. Baim who is in love with Julie immediately proposed to Julie in their 3 months of courtship. Julie accepts Baim's proposal and agrees that they will marry soon.
Two more days, the day that Baim was waiting for will soon arrive. He will marry Julie and live happily ever after, like the story in the fairy tale of course. Caca was expecting her brother to be happy. Baim is a very dear brother to Caca. Caca's only brother in the world.
Unfortunately, Baim has never met Caca since he came home. Caca's family is looking for her brother's whereabouts. Mom said, last time I saw Baim, Baim left in a hurry.
Every time I called Baim, I never answered. The Caca family is getting panicked. Afraid of anything happening with Baim.
"How, Ca? Have you made a report to the police?" mama asked when she saw Caca coming home from the police station.
"Already, Ma. Let's just wait while continuing to pray that Brother Baim will meet soon!" caca replied with sad and worried eyes.
But Baim has no news. The marriage had to be cancelled. The neighbors have been talking about the Caca family.
My mother was crying continuously. Her gut feeling as a mother is that her child is not okay.
Until the ringing of the house phone makes the Caca family put a trace of hope Baim will be found. The police contacted and asked Ibrahim Budiman's family to come to Hotel XX.
Hotel XX is a hotel where Baim plans to spend his honeymoon. Caca and his parents went to Hotel XX. They were asked to go to room 1111.
Caca's heart slipped when he saw there was a police line in front of the room door. Mama was weak and not strong to support her legs. Caca and Papa who let Mama walk into the room.
In the room that was supposed to be Baim's happy place, Caca saw her brother's stiff body hanging lifelessly.
"Astaghfirullah Baim! BAIMS!! OH, GOD, BAIM!" Mom collapsed and fainted.
The police quickly took Mama to the hospital. Papa accompanied. And Caca?
Caca just sat limply with an empty eye. She was shocked to see her beloved brother was lifeless.
Caca ventured to drag his body and approached the body of his brother who had been taken down by the police and laid down on the floor. "Sister... Up, Sis!"
Tears began to roll down Caca's face. "Sir Baim! Awake, Brother! BROTHER BAIM HUAAAA.." Caca's cry broke.
"DON'T STAY IN CACA, BROTHER! HUAAAA...." Caca hugged her brother's body and shook it. I hope Baim will come back to life.
"SISTER BAIM! HUAAA... BROTHER BAIM!!" the police try to separate Caca but Caca hugs her beloved sister. Until Caca felt something fall out of Baim's pocket.
Caca stopped crying and saw that the fall was an invitation that had folded and tangled. With trembling hands, Caca opened an invitation that clearly stated who was getting married.
Julie Abraham married Azhar Malik. It was clearly written at their wedding. It was the same time Baim and Julie got married.
Caca was crying because of the anger and hatred that suddenly burst so big in him. She was saddened and could not accept her brother being treated like that by the evil woman Julie Abraham.
Caca and Papa have to take care of Baim's body. Bury him properly amid whispers of neighbors who continue to talk about their families. She was so shocked she had to be hospitalized.
****
Caca stared blankly at the grave of her brother, Baim. The day that Baim should be happy to start a new life with Julie Abraham, even became the day Baim's body was found that had disappeared for two days.
Caca did not expect, his brother who likes to come to visit him while studying outside the city while bringing food and always gave him the pocket money, now only a name. Even her brother did not leave a message before her departure at all.
Caca and his family are devastated and do not accept Baim's death. The police investigation revealed that no one had met Baim at the hotel. Thus, Baim did end his own life because of the decision he made. The investigation was closed.
There was no news of Baim's death in newspapers or online news portals. All are covered and kept secret by the hotel management for the good name of their five-star hotel.
Caca laughed at the cruel reality of life that happened to his family. Not even Baim's death could be reported. Her brother died and Julie was happy with another man.

After coming home from the hospital, Mama kept daydreaming. His eyes looked blank and his mind wandered off somewhere.
Tears kept dripping from my eyes. His body looked thin with a pale face. Mama doesn't want to eat and just lamented over the photo of Baim.
"Ma!" call Caca. The face that Mama was wearing. Mama didn't even realize she was wearing reverse mukena.
"Eat first yuk, Ma." persuaded Caca.
Unfortunately, Mama remained indifferent. He ignored Caca and kept shedding tears with his empty eyes.
"Ma... Mama is sick... Eat yes Ma even a little." please Caca while wiping her own tears.
Caca gave up because Mama didn't respond. He left a plate filled with food and approached Papa who was also daydreaming in the living room.
Unlike Mama who continues to cry, Papa only daydreams but occasionally rubs her face. It seemed that the burden of deep regret was within him. Failing as a parent, his son ended his own life.
"Pa, eat first!" take Caca.
Papa shook his head. "Fatty papa, Ca."
"Papa hasn't eaten. Papa will be sick." persuaded Caca.
"Later Papa will eat if Papa is hungry." Papa refused.
Caca can what?
Caca breathed a heavy sigh. Until when was her family destroyed like this just because of a Julie?
"Yes, everything that happened to my family was because of that bad woman. The woman who had made my brother die and my parents had no more spirit!" inner Caca.
Caca looked at the photo of Julie Abraham in Baim's room. "Sister, if Julie has betrayed Brother, then I will make her husband betray Julie. I'm gonna make Julie's life more miserable than our family's, sister. I'm gonna ruin the wedding! Whatever I'm gonna do to make him suffer!"
