Charm Naughty Teaser
A Letter

The photo that Caca saw was a photo of Baim's sister embracing Eza with a big smile. Her white teeth line displayed radiant happiness.

Brother Baim and Eza look very familiar. Kak Baim's hair is still thick with the big t-shirt he uses. Caca remember once the shirt was used as a washcloth by Mama because it was upset to see it used continuously the same Kak Baim even though it had been torn here and there.

Yes, this is a photo taken a few years ago. A photo of Baim still in college outside the city.

"Me and Baim one campus and one contract. At that time I still wanted to be an architect even though my Papa forbade. I work part-time to pay for college and everyday living expenses,"

"When I was hard, Baim helped me. He took me to stay on his contract and fed me when I had no money at all. Baim told me that he had a very beautiful sister and very dear to him. I never thought Baim's sister was you, Ca."

Eza smiled as if he had just realized there was a slight resemblance between Caca and Baim. Their eyes are so similar. Eza feels stupid because he just realized it now.

"Baim sent me his wedding invitation. Baim's face was so happy that he was going to marry a woman I thought was weird. This woman never wanted to be introduced to us by her friends. Many mysteries. But as a friend, I appreciate whatever Baim's decision is,"

"I was neat and reached the building where the reception was held but I was surprised because according to security the event was canceled. I wonder what happened? Why did it cancel? Did that strange woman hurt my best friend Baim?"

"I then started contacting Baim but his HP was inactive. My stupidity is to never play in your parents' house. If I had known where you lived, I would have known that Baim died. I asked the other children, all do not know because they live outside the city all. When you mentioned Baim's name, I remembered my best friend and it was true that you were his sister whom he had been proud of."

Caca looked down and came back crying. How Baim loved him so much and always prided himself in front of anyone.

"Don't cry anymore, Ca. I can understand why you became an actor. All because of your affection for your brother. It's all been happening. Don't regret fate too much. You were going home, weren't you? Let me drop off, and I'd like to meet Mama and Papa who like to send me food and snacks. They're my parents too, Ca." Eza rubbed Caca's head lovingly. There was a determination in him to take care of his best friend's beloved sister.

Mama hugged Caca who came crying. Mama even apologized many times to Caca. Mama feels guilty. He was also one of the factors that made Caca want to take revenge.

"Sorry Mama, Ca. Sorry Mama!" mama said while crying.

Caca was speechless. He prefers to cry out his heart.

After the two are calmer and can accept what happened, Mama only realized that Caca did not come alone. There are those who accompany but since then just silently pay attention to the sadness of the two while occasionally wiping the stubborn tears and breaking out. Eza was saluting Papa when Caca and Mama were sharing grief.

Eza, who is only Baim's best friend, feels so lost his best friend, especially Caca and his parents?! Baim has a good heart. Very good in fact. If you help someone, you will not hesitate.

Unfortunately news of Baim's death was not widespread. If Baim's friends knew the news, more would be sad and lost.

"You....?" Mama tried to remember the handsome young man who was in front of her. "Reza, right? Baim's best friend?" finally, Mama can recognize Eza.

Eza approached and salim hugged Mama. "Yes, Ma. It's Eza. Sorry Ma, Eza just found out about Baim. Eza, I'm so sorry, Ma."

"Yes, Za. Sorry Mama kept it a secret about Baim. There's enough sloping news about Mama's good boy. Until he died, Baim was still thinking about others. The boy was indeed too kind." Mama's voice choked to hold back her grief.

Eza hugged Mama and calmed her down. Papa did the same. Soothing your mom so you don't come back like you used to. It was so sad to forget the situation around.

Caca did not accompany her, she left her room and shut herself up. Until Eza gets home, Caca doesn't even leave the room. Caca needs my time to be alone right now.

Julie realizes it is dark when the air around her becomes cold. The funeral was very quiet and creepy, but not for Julie.

With dirty clothes after hugging the tomb soil where Baim buried. His eyes were swollen and his eyes were empty. He wants to spend more time lamenting his sadness, but Julie realizes Baim does not want to see him sad.

Julie walks over with a shunt to where her parked white sedan is. With trembling hands he unlocked the key and ended up with the fall of the key he held.

Julie picked it up and put it back in the keyhole. Succeeds. He stepped on the gas pedal and went to the quietest place. The tiny house of his parents.

Julie stared at the house she kept well cared for despite being married to Azhar. The house Julie wanted to leave because it was considered too ordinary for a Julie.

After entering the room, Julie locked the door and laid her body on the carpet in her room. Julie was closed for a while and woke up still in the dark. It means he slept for a while.

The tears on Julie's face dried up. It was spilled in the tomb. Julie wakes up and turns on the lights, but her room lights are broken. Julie turned on the flashlight and opened the closet where she kept the spare light.

Julie's eyes were glued to the folded piece of paper and her name was written there.

...To my dear Julie...

Quickly Julie picked up the letter and forgot about her intention to install the lights. Julie goes to the living room and reads Baim's letter.

Julie Darling,

When I read this letter, I would no longer be in this world. I'm sorry I left you.

I was a fool for choosing to end my life instead of waiting for you to fulfill your promise. Not that I can't believe it, but I don't want to see you marry someone else because I have to.

If I had a lot of money, I'd give you all my possessions. Unfortunately, I come from a simple family. Can't protect you from the trouble that's beenfalling you.

Don't worry, I have insurance that will save you when I'm gone. Come and ask Caca to take care of it. Use the money to live happily with a man who loves you and accepts you for who you are.

I ask one thing for you, please take care and love my family as you love your own family. Once again forgive me. Promise me you will live happier from now on.

*From the cowardly men who love you, you,

Baim*s*.
