Can't Stop

"HUWAAA! Papa! Please wake up, Papa!"

A seven year old boy is seen weeping next to his father's dead coffin. His tears flowed profusely, his sad roar and sobs filled the atmosphere of the funeral home which was starting to be deserted from the relatives and friends who came to mourn.

The boy's older brother named Javier who was standing beside the child who was crying hysterically also shed his tears in silence. His tears fell, she silently shed tears of sadness. jacob tries to look strong in the middle of the sea of ​​wounds that they are now forced to dive into for a reason they never thought before. Why did this misfortune have to befall his little family?

Jacob turned and looked at his brothis with a feeling of tightness filling his chest. Javier, his younger brother, continues to cry lamenting the loss of the people they really care about and idolize. The figure that is used as a role model by all boys around the world, namely the figure of a father they love.

at a relatively young age, both of them must be willing to be left forever by their father.

Now, all that's left is him, Javier and their mother. The ten-year-old then hugged Javier, while trying to give his younger brother peace of mind through words of encouragement that he also addressed to himself.

"Never mind ... stop crying, Javi," he said soothingly. "You know Papa doesn't like to see his boys cry? So, calm down, brother is here with you."

Javier's sobs did not stop, they became even more. With great difficulty, he replied to the words of his older brother, "B-but, Sis ... our father has died - HUWAAA! PAPAhuhuuu, don't leave Javi, Pa! "

Jacob sighed softly as he patted his younger brother's back gently. He also did not think that his papa would leave this quickly.

After learning about the sad news that befell Maria, his wife, the mother of Javier and Jacob, their father who has a history of heart disease suddenly had a relapse. they were all late in calling for help, until the poor man breathed his last without even having time to say anything to all of them.

some distant relatives who had just arrived, looked at the two children who were crying beside their father's coffin with cynical eyes. "Look at those two kids, what a pity," commented one of them, clearly condescending.

"You're right, sisterI heard that Hubert died of shock to hear that his wife was raped and the son of the rich man who raped him was simply released by the police because he had a guarantor who clearly had a lot of money. Who wouldn't be shocked when they heard that? "

"YesI was also surprised to hear that these children witnessed the rape firsthand. Tsk, tsk, how stupid. Maria is definitely not against that coercion, because she really enjoys the touch of men who are younger than her. "

"How sad, huhI heard that she is now crazy and doesn't want to see her children anymore. Maybe it was divine punishment for seducing a young man. "

Jacob, who heard all the slanted comments full of insults, could only be silent. However, he clenched his hands as he closed his eyes tightly. His emotions boiled over in his chest. He felt angry, very angry.

Why don't people have the slightest empathy for them? Why do these people even blame their mothers for being the victims of the madness of the gospel? Why even insult those who have just become orphans? why should those who have such low words?

"Big Brother ...." Javier understood that the scorn was directed at them, he then tightened his hug to his brother. "Sis ... are we pathetic?"

"Psst, calm down," Jacob whispered softly. he still made gentle strokes on his younger brother's back. "Just close your ears, and be strong until all the bitterness of life is over. We can both make it through, my brother. Trust me."

"Thank you for watching this video until the end. See you in our next video!"

as soon as the recording ended, Jacob took off the Line character costume he was wearing. The young man smoothed his black hair for a moment before asking his younger brother, "How did it go?"

Javier, who was checking the camcorders that he used to record his brother, replied, "GoodI will edit it after this. Brother, just rest first! "He replied cheerfully.

Jacob tidied up his utensils and put them back in the drawer. "Later, after this I'll make dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?" he asked his younger brother.

Javier who was fiddling with the camera turned his head and smiled broadly at Jacob. "It's up to you. I'll keep eating it as long as it's what you make," Javier replied softly.

Jacob laughed.

This is their family life now. It's just him and Javier.

Now, Jacob must meet the necessities of life for his little family by making videos and uploading them to Youtube. The income he gets now is much better than the income when he works outside part time. As he had done before.

"Don't forget to study and keep in mind our goals, Javi."

Javier nodded briefly, seeing that his brother had started giving advice. "Of course I will never forget, Brother. No one will easily forget their past wounds. Is that right?"

jacob smiled faintly. His younger sibling has grown bigger and more mature. And that makes him proud. He then returned to say, "Yes, my brother. Whatever it is, be strong and repay the actions of those who have humiliated us. Understand?"

"We prove it, we can be great people."

Javier then saluted his brother. "Ready, General!" he said obediently. "We will prove to the point of making them dumbfounded and astonished!"

The two of them then laughed together with joy. because, they believe that life is about struggle, and they are now struggling to continue living.

In a mansion painted gray, precisely at the Petersons residence. let's go to their family dining room which is being occupied by three members of the family.

"Louis, please wake up your brother in his roomtoday Julia has a math test at school, and she must not be late, "said a woman who has entered middle age, but still has a beautiful face. She turned her head, facing her eldest child.

Meggan, who was busy arranging the spice pots, couldn't wake up his beloved daughter now. Therefore, he also asked Louis to wake up his daughter.

Louis, who was sipping his cup of tea, frowned. "I don't want to, Mahe can wake up by himself, "he replied, placing the cup on the table.

Charlie, who had just come out of the room, then approached his wife who was standing near the sink. "Don't have breakfast?" Meggan asked, fixing her husband's light blue tie. Charlie glanced at the watch on his left wrist. "I don't think so, honey. In thirty minutes the company meeting will start."

"I'm afraid I won't get there."

Feeling that her husband's long tie was neat, Meggan then stepped back a little. then looked at her husband's handsome face with love. "Really? All right, but wait a minute. I'll prepare you a lunch, so you can eat it at the office."

Charlie just nodded, turning back to check the watch on his hand. He also moved toward his eldest son, then asked while grabbing a glass of coffee that was already available on the table, "How is your restaurant business, son?"

Louis glanced at his papa, then replied in a tone that was a little reluctant, "Good enough, Pa. Everything is going well under my controlIt is just ...."

"It's just what?" asked Charlie. "You haven't got into any trouble, have you?"

Not long after, Meggan came and gave her husband a medium-sized light brown lunch box. "Here, honey," he said to Charlie.

Louis took a deep breath. "It's just that I want to lead the company and be CEO just like Papa," said Louis hopefully. "I don't want to be the owner of a restaurant. I want to be a businessman like Papa ...."

Louis was busy expressing his heart, while the father was busy staring at Meggan's face. "Thanks, honey," said Charlie. He then grabbed Meggan's waist, and took her into a very loving embrace. They kissed hotly, until a slightly disturbing sound was heard.

they are busy making love to the point of ignoring their eldest son who witnesses their actions.

Louis immediately turned his eyes, amused to see the behavior of his parents who looked like a pair of teenagers who were in love. "I'm going to wake Julia up," he said dryly as he walked away, leaving Charlie, who had just opened his kiss with Meggan.

"Take Julia to school later!" shouted Meggan before her son climbed the stairs.

Louis quickly replied, "No!" The man then hurried up the stairs.

"Tsk, that kid really!" grunted Charlie.

"Come on, honey. Wasn't Louis that way all the time?" Meggan tried to calm her down.

Charlie then smoothed his tie one more time. His expression looked displeased. There was resentment he felt. "Yes, you are right, my wife," he said coldly. "At least I made the right decision then."

+++

Louis climbed the stairs to the second floor with an expression on his face too cold. Even like a person who has no heart at all. His parents never loved him. His parents were never happy with his presence in the house. In fact, those two weeks were his time off from work that was sickening.

The food business really doesn't fit with Louis's personality who basically wants something more.

he wants to have a company in his own name. Become the founder of a large company. The man's frustration peaked when he was again ignored by his father whenever he discussed company matters.

The long footsteps of the man who had entered his ripe age stopped in front of a wooden door painted dark brown. In front of the door, hung a wooden ornament in the form of a coconut tree carved with a person's name.

Louis remembers very well that the hanger was a gift from his father for Julia which he bought from a tropical island in Southeast Asia. If he remembered correctly, Charlie bought it in Borneo.

Unlike him, his parents are so cute about the girl in this room. all decisions in their family, must be made in consultation with the daughter. Louis felt that the boy had taken all his rights.

"Tsk, what's so good about this thing," grumbled Louis as he felt the door hanger in front of him. He then went into the room and walked towards the window which was still closed by the curtains.

"Julia, wake up!" Louis, who had finished opening the window, then approached his sister's bed and shook Julia's body hard. there is no more effective way to wake a person than to pour water or shake the dreamer's body.

"Hey, you have a test today at school, right? Get up quickly ...."

"Hmm." Julia, who had woken up from sleep, immediately changed her position to sit down. his eyes were still half closed, and his hair looked messy. Typical of people who just wake up. "Hmm, yes, okay, I'll take a shower first," he said hoarsely to his brother.

"Hurry down and have breakfast." Louis then went out of his sister's room to provide privacy. closed the door tightly, then left the room silently. He really understands Julia's cold nature who doesn't talk much.

The same trait as her, and Louis laughed funny.

+++

"Brother Louis," called Julia to her brother. at that time, they were on their way to school. Louis, who was focused on driving, did not even glance at him, but the man still answered the call from his younger brother, "Hmm, what's wrong?" he asked dryly.

louis slowed down when he was almost at their destination, Julia's school. His latest black car stopped right in front of the large gate of the Julia school building.

the girl looked at the crowd of schoolgirls who happened to pass through the half-open car window, her face was flat when she saw the children. "You don't have to bother picking me up later," said Julia coldly as she took off her seat belt. too cold for a little sister her brother had just escorted. "I came home with Hana."

Louis cleared his throat softly, his throat a little itchy and his lips felt dry. The weather in the city has been not good lately, making anyone catch flu and colds. after this, Louis will go to his regular pharmacy to buy medicine.

He then glanced at Julia, who had a flat expression. The girl's indifference was seen again.

"Are you sure? Brother will still pick you up after school, and wait for you in this place," he said just pleasantly. indeed, he wants?

To be honest, Louis didn't even intend to pick up his younger brother. Taking his younger sibling to school as he does today, solely because of his mother's orders. This does not mean that he did all of this because he was worried about his sister's safety.

julia who heard Louis's words immediately turned quickly to the man with the thin mustache who was sitting in the driver's seat. His expression looked like he didn't want to be denied. "I said I don't want to, it means no, Sis!" after raising her voice a little, Julia then got out of the car without feeling guilty.

The door slammed hard, making the students who happened to pass the black BMW car of the Petersons staring at the girl with astonished eyes. however, Julia ignored all the questioning stares. He doesn't care at all if it becomes a topic of conversation among the students at his school.

"That girl's attitude is too much!" Louis commented as he stared at the back of his younger brother who began to move away from the eye. "No wonder he's - ah, never mind."

Louis then slowly stepped on the gas pedal, and left the all-girls school area where his little brother attended school with a feeling of frustration that filled his chest.

Louis also swore to himself, would not want to take Julia to school again.

"Hi, Julia! Good morning!"

The cheerful blue-eyed girl quickly pulled out an empty chair next to the girl who was focused on reading a thick book. The girl named Hana then pursed her lips a little, she was annoyed that her best friend ignored her.

he then approached Julia and spoke right into her ear. "HAPPY MORNING, JULIAAA!"

That loud voice near his right ear, really disturbed the concentration of the girl with long brown hair who was busy reading. he then kicked off the table slightly using one of his hands that was not holding the book. "Shut up, Hana!" he snapped at the blonde girl who only chuckled when she saw him angrily.

"Hey, calm down." Hana laughed, then said, "No need to bother thinking about the math test laterthe test will be postponed until next week! "

Julia grunted softly, and adjusted her seat again - finding a comfortable position. The girl then returned to struggling with textbooks that she had neglected because she was disturbed by her best friend's actions. despite being told by Hana that the test she had been waiting for since last week, was postponed. However, he had to keep studying.

Who knows there will be a surprise test?

Hana hit the table back. "You are always learning, yes, Julia !occasionally play the cellphone, like me, so you don't miss the information in the present! "

The words of Hana, which seemed to be arrogant, did not make Julia glance at him. The boy's adolescence seemed to have just arrived. "You can't play with things like that at school," he replied dryly. "Put your cell phone back."

The girl with the surname of the Peterson family only focused her gaze on the thick book she was studying for a test her teacher might take suddenly. and he's not the type of student who likes to break school rules.

"No such restrictions here, Julia!" shouted Hana. Julia returned not responding to his words, the girl did not pay attention. Not even glancing.

Hana looked annoyed, but a moment later she smiled broadly. "Hey, Julia," said Hana, then paused for a moment when Julia ignored her again. And suddenly, a glimpse of a great idea passed through his head. "Oh, wait! I have something interesting, you know. Look here!"

Hana grinned when she saw Julia looking at her. he knew very well that Julia was the impressionable type and that once stepped into a world he liked he wouldn't let go of it easily.

Julia sighed, then returned to focus on the book. He felt not at all interested, he turned the sheets of the book he was reading. "No," he replied concisely.

"Oh! Come on, Julia! Let's take a photo together!" Hana tugged on Julia's arm several times. "Come on!" whimpered Hana once again while putting on a pathetic expression. "Photos, let's!"

Hana tries her best to draw Julia into civilization. all this time, that girl was acting out of fashion. Why read books? Now there are novels that can be read online! Hana returned to whining. "Please, Julia ... just this once."

"Hhh." Julia took a deep breath. His heart melted too when his friend seemed to ask him for mercy. "Very well," said Julia at last. That girl did not like to see other people's gloom. "But after this, don't bother me studying," he said to his friend.

Hana cheered happily as Julia drew closer to their table. then the girl put all her textbooks in a drawer, and then gave Hana a quick glance. He immediately shuddered sinisterly when he realized his friend's expression.

Hana was looking at it without blinking.

"Hey, stop looking at me like that!" said Julia with an annoyed expression.

hana just laughed seeing it Honestly, he wanted to see Julia become a cheerful girl like him. However, Hana didn't know how to break down the ice wall that had been attached to the girl.

"Eh, let's watch Youtube, let's!" asked Hana while opening the red application on her cellphone.

Julia frowned in confusion. "Hm? What's that?" he asked innocently. Hana looked shocked at Julia's reaction, while those who were stared at with a surprised look only blinked a few times. "Why?" asked the Peterson girl, confused.

"Julia, you have a cell phone, right?" asked Hana, still surprised. Julia nodded curtly and took her cellphone from the bag. "It's?"

Hana was unable to speak for a few moments. "What a joke," he muttered in amazement after awakening from his reverie. "In this day and age, are you still using a mobile phone like this ?!"

Julia frowned even more, annoyed by her friend's dismissive words. "So what? This type of phone is durable, has a long battery life and is easy to use at any time."

"Yes, it is true. but iji is so out of date, Julia! "Hana couldn't help thinking, why does a rich kid like Julia have an old cell phone that not many people want to use anymore? Julia doesn't seem to have good taste. Hana is sorry for her.

"Try later you ask your Papa and Mom to buy you a cell phone like this!" Hana shows the sophistication of the cellphone she has. "Look! He can recognize our faces once we bring it forward! That's amazing, isn't it?"

julia just smiled watching Hana's enthusiasm for today's communication media. Indeed, the more the times are, the more advanced the technology will follow. It's just that, Julia thought all of that must be accompanied by the discretion of each user.

seeing Hana's behavior, Julia thought that it was the addiction to this rectangular object.

"Julia, take a look at this video." Hana shows a video showing the steps to open a bottle cap. pointless impressions, but have an awful lot of views?

"I don't want to," Julia replied quickly. What kind of video is that? It just makes him dislike when he reads the title.

"Uh, look at this one, how cute he is."

Julia shook her head again, and said, "I don't like that, Hanakeep your cell phone as far away from me as possible. It's all weird videos ... "

His blonde friend ignores her, and continues to offer video content that is not useful to Julia. In fact, Julia felt uncomfortable when she found out that Hana was busy watching videos of people doing strange things, and also those who like to harm other people.

"What is their purpose in doing that?" he asked curiously. Hana, who was laughing out loud, turned to him. "What? You don't feel funny about this? Hey, July! They are doing pranks! Isn't that ridiculous? Hihihi. "

"Stop watching that." Julia immediately grabbed Hana's cellphone and replaced the video her best friend was watching with a video tutorial. How to make fried rice and egg rolls. "You better watch something like this."

Julia then glared at her best friend. "Next time, look for a more useful video here. There must be one, right?"

Honestly, he didn't want Hana to go any further. Lately, that girl had felt something was different from Hana. then, after having a new, high-end cellphone, the girl just went on and on.

"Yes, yes, fine. I'll stop watching it first." Hana looked annoyed, but at least the girl was still listening to what Julia said. after coming home from school, he will download all the videos on the channel. We will see!

Julia seemed to think about it for a moment. "Looks like ... I'm also going to buy a new cell phone." Julia's speech received a positive response from her friend. "Really? Really ?! Yes, great !don't forget, you must have a Youtube application on your cellphone, yes! "said Hana happily.

Julia smiled thinly, her best friend is really a very nice girl. She wanted Julia to taste like that, but could she be as cheerful as Hana later?

considering all this time, there was a wall of ice imprisoning him?

+++

Julia managed to persuade her mother to buy her the latest smart phone. This was all because of Hana's actions, who kept pestering her with the sophistication of the flat and burning object that was now in her hands.

with a happy feeling - although not very visible, Julia is also busy with her activities in selecting video content on Youtube that she finds interesting for her to watch. The girl had learned how to use a cell phone from Hana, who was addicted to it.

julia continues to explore the red application while humming a song with inaccurate lyrics. Until he finds a channel there - Badbuddy. There is nothing special about Youtuber wearing a Brown costume - a character from the social media Line who reads comments on his video last week.

Intrigued, Julia finally watched one of the videos there. The videos are simple, the content is unobtrusive and certainly not strange for Julia, who doesn't like anything flashy. Only a small channel that provides education through video broadcasts delivered directly by Badbuddy like a teacher at a school.

according to Julia, each video was funny and different from any other channel she had ever found. The voice of her material delivery sounded sweet to Julia, who for the first time spent watching videos on the internet instead of studying all day long. until then, Julia commented on one of the videos she liked the most so far.

"Ah, it turns out he replied to my comment fast too ...." Julia could not do anything but flabbergasted when her comment was quickly replied to by the owner of the Youtube channel. however, he felt very happy when he got it.

Not felt, changes began to happen to Julia. Instead of opening a book, he watched videos, day and night. The girl watched all the videos in the most video provider applications in the world without knowing the time. julia is also getting used to giving comments on every video and Badbuddy always responds to her comments in a friendly manner.

Julia is happy. This is the first time for him to interact with someone in cyberspace.

In one of his newest videos, Badbuddy takes off his costume. julia was so surprised when she saw the Youtuber showing his real face. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the Youtuber he had enjoyed doing for the past month was a handsome man who had charming dark brown eyes. Julia was stunned when she saw it.

hana, who is happy with Julia's change, teaches her to use social media such as Instagram and Facebook. The girl surnamed Smith was also happy with Julia's not being cold to her anymore.

Nowadays, Julia often talks about many things - especially about her interest in Badbuddy. hana agrees with him. Their tastes are never wrong.

"I'm curious about her personal life, Hana," Julia commented one morning. Hana laughed amusedly seeing her friend looking so gloomy. Julia is totally addicted to technology thanks to her.

"You're crazy about Badbuddy huh. Why not just find out, his personal social media? You have Instagram, right?" Hana's question got a shake from Julia. "I still can't find him, Hana," Julia said powerfully.

"Hmm, just ask him on Youtube !don't mind such trifles, Julia. "

Finally, Julia ventured to ask Badbuddy so that the man would tell her what social media accounts she had.

"Of course you can. This is my Instagram account, j.lcker_"

What a joy, Julia. hana laughed at the reaction of businessman Peterson's beloved daughter. "Good luck, Julia dear," said Hana to her friend. Julia's happiness is the most important to him.

Julia and Badbuddy then chat with each other on Instagram, day and night. The girl finally found out the real name of her favorite Youtuber. His name is Jacob Leckner. What a beautiful name, he thought.

Until one day, Julia, who really wants to be close to her idol, asks for Jacob's cellphone number. the girl even ignored the frozen wall she had been building up high, just to talk about a lot of things with him.

Increasingly, the relationship between the two of them grew closer. Julia felt comfortable with the man who was two years older than her. her feelings always blossomed every time Jacob replied to her message with sweet words. Julia did not understand what she was feeling, as if there were various feelings mixed together.

It was as if all these feelings were filling his chest cavity. It was a strange sensation.

Julia's changes lead her friends to support her efforts to approach Jacob. Julia did admit that she began to like the Leckner man who looks so alluring with his charm. They are very supportive of the Peterson girl who has never been in love. There's nothing wrong with girls confessing feelings first, right?

"Just invite him to meet, Julia," suggested Fani, a girl with two pigs to Julia who was focused on looking at the cellphone in her hand. Julia turned around. "I dare not say ..."

the girl's friends with brown waistband were feeling anxious. Julia in love is kind of funny. Maybe because they are not used to it. "Try here, borrow your cell phone," said Viola as he suddenly took Julia's cellphone.

"Ah, what are you doing!" cried Julia frantically. hana swiftly restrained Julia while laughing softly.

"Asking your lover to meet. What else?" Fani's words immediately made Julia's face flushed red. In his heart, he confirmed his friend's words.

"There, done!" Vio returned the red cellphone to the owner. "Good luck, Julia!" he said with a wicked smile.

Julia looked confused, but when she saw the smiles on her friends' faces, she believed that the future would be very happy. The girl smiled broadly and hugged her cellphone tightly. Then he said, "Thank you very much, my friends."

His embrace on the cellphone in his hand tightened. Really, she can't wait to meet Jacob, the man who has managed to steal her heart since their first introduction on social media .

Julia fix her appearance to once again in front of the mirror Thanks to suggestions from her best friend named Hana and also suggestions from her other two friends, Fani and Viola, Julia goes on a date wearing the best make-up and dress she has. her friends insist on seeing Julia date and kiss a man.

They want this girl who is famous regardless of romance to taste the sweetness of first love and kiss.

for the first time, the Peterson girl wore make-up and wore a short, above-the-knee gown. Even though she has never been on a date, let alone have to beautify herself and wear the beautiful expensive jewelry typical of most teenage girls.

His mother used to tell Julia to be more daring to expose her beauty, and it's not that Julia didn't follow her advice, it's just that she was more comfortable wearing ordinary clothes - like a long shirt and baggy jeans.

to be honest, Julia had never worn such a short dress. She has only worn long dresses, and she only wore them twice. His cousin's sister's wedding and also her best friend's birthday, Hana.

the dress she wore today was the result of a search at the mall she did with her best friend. Even with this make up kit for the first time, she bought it. Hana was amazed, because Julia kept asking questions about how to use the various facial ornaments.

In the end, after being taught how to apply basic make-up, Julia is ready to go on a date with her first love. A very exciting wait.

julia turned once in front of the mirror, causing the white dress with pearl ornaments on the underside to expand beautifully. The hair, which she used to freely share, is now tied up high using an expensive hair stick, with jade on the top.

one word for his current appearance, captivating. The combination of a beautiful face with a sweet dress style makes Julia's aura of beauty evaporate and create an attractive image.

However, there was something that made Julia a little uncomfortable.

The first impression Julia got after she finished changing into a dress was ... strange. Julia is not used to her new appearance. This is definitely not the style she likes in her everyday clothes. julia, who is used to wearing loose trousers when she leaves the house, feels a little uncomfortable when wearing clothes that make her unable to move freely.

Not to mention the makeup on her face at this time. although still quite natural and inconspicuous, but to be honest Julia still didn't like him. The girl prefers to use moisturizer and put powder on her face. Even on the lips, he only uses ordinary lip balm. however, because these are all requests from people who care about their appearance on a date. Inevitably, Julia agreed to their request.

When else would Julia decorate herself with looks that are often worn by girls her age?

Usually, he only wore casual unisex clothes that sounded casual. But this time, she had to dress like any other young girl.

Julia looked back at her top-down dress with a judicious look. Would Jacob like her look like this? would he praise Julia well? Even talking about the man with the sharp eagle eyes made Julia suddenly feel very nervous.

Obviously this was the first time for Julia to meet someone of the opposite sex, to meet a man. not accompanied by anyone, just alone. Since entering a special education school for girls, Julia never interacted with boys anymore. Papa and his brother are not included in it.

The cell phone rings for a moment, an incoming message alert. Julia rushed over to check it out. a message from Jacob that said, 'I'll be waiting for you in Testa's garden' made him feel nervous again and at the same time fluttering.

Julia immediately grabbed the bag and came down from the room, about to say goodbye to her parents. "Papa, Mama! I want to go out with a friend first!"

charlie who was sitting watching television turned to his daughter who was sitting on the floor putting on her shoes. "Where, honey?" he asked the child.

"To the garden of Testa, Pa," said Julia in the middle of putting on her high heels. he hastily put on the crocodile skin shoes that he used to go to that particular event.

Meggan, who had just finished showering and getting dressed, immediately went to her child and husband who were gathered in the living room. "Where are Julia going, honey? Why are you in such a hurry?" Meggan asked her husband. Charlie changed the channel he wanted to watch, then replied, "To the city park with a friend."

Julia, who had finished putting her shoes on, stood up. Meggan then walked over to her daughter and watched Julia look from the child down. "Mama's very beautiful child this morning," he commented, smiling sweetly.

Julia straightened her collar carefully, then smiled a broad smile. "Is it true?" he asked happily. "Thank God! That means I look good. I'm afraid I look ugly, Ma," said Julia doubtfully.

"No, you are very beautiful, honey." Meggan patted her daughter on the shoulder and said, "Be careful on the way, go home before dinner.

"Fine, Ma!" Julia replied cheerfully. His smile grew wider. "I just walk, no need to be escorted," he said as he slung his handbag over his shoulder. "I'll go first, Ma, Pa!"

"Yes, be careful, honey," said Charlie from his seat. Julia headed for the door, Louis, who had just come from outside, passed her on her way out. "Where are you going?" asked Louis, looking at his younger brother. "I'm going for a walk," said Julia cheerfully.

"It's been a while, Sis. I'll go first. Bye!" said the girl while waving her hand enthusiastically.

Louis straightened his coat collar, totally uninterested in returning a wave of his younger brother's hand. his black eyes turned to Julia's departure from their home. He gave a cold and piercing gaze.

"Just go away forever," murmured Louis before entering his majestic residence. There is absolutely no concern left for the girl who has the status of his younger sister. there is only jealousy, and anger at every injustice he has received so far. All because of Julia's presence.

+++

"Hmm, near the tree." Julia reads the last message from Jacob. He then looked around. "Eh, this park is true, right?" he muttered frantically, afraid that the wrong place would be their appointment.

Julia stopped the search, then stood quietly aside, checking her cell phone. Where is Jacob? He was tired of walking around the front garden looking for the man.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horn that sounded from behind, and Julia jumped. In a hurry, the girl with the silver cloth turned around and looked at the perpetrator. there was someone sitting quietly on a black motorbike, his head still wearing a helmet of the same color, making it impossible for Julia to see the stranger's face.

Who is she? Julia couldn't tell, except that he was a well-built man. the figure in front of him then opened the windshield of his helmet, Julia took a step back. Suddenly the person raised his left hand. "Hi?" said the man, Julia almost screamed on the spot. That's Jacob.

"Hi too. Why just came?" asked Julia with a forced smile. it wasn't that she didn't like the presence of the man who always came to her dreams, but she just failed to control her expression.

"I've been coming since an hour ago," he replied as he got off the big Harley Davidson type motorbike. Julia swallowed saliva slowly, Jacob was really high. about 180cm? No, maybe higher than that. "Actually, I was waiting for you in the back garden. In fact, I can see you so difficult to find my whereabouts from there."

Julia's face immediately flushed red when she realized Jacob's words. How embarrassed he is!

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Julia's question made Jacob laugh, which made Julia stunned where he stood. "Haha, well ... I just like seeing you confused like that. So, I'll just leave it."

then there was silence for a few moments, until Jacob started a new conversation between them. "Want to go there?" he asked, pointing to the ice cream parlor. Julia quickly nodded.

"What do you like the taste?" Julia asked Jacob as they arrived at their destination. he was sorting out the ice cream flavors on the menu list. "Just chocolate," replied Jacob, who was standing beside the girl. Julia felt very short next to him. Even though the height is more than ideal, 168cm. "Alright. Uncle! Order one chocolate and strawberry flavor, OK?"

if people who meet for the first time talk less often when they are together, it's not the case with Julia and Jacob. The two of them are even busy telling each other's experiences. Stories during school, or childhood stories that they think are funny.

julia kept laughing, her expression looked bright when she looked at the beautiful face of Jacob. When the second ice cream was finished, Jacob would go back to buy and give one of them to Julia, who happily accepted it. "So, what are your goals?" asked Julia, licking vanilla ice cream, she was busy eating ice cream until she didn't realize that she had eaten a mess. Around her lips were filled with ice cream.

Jacob, suddenly silent, made Julia turn to him. His heart started pounding as Jacob's big hand lifted and rubbed her lips gently. Julia froze on the spot. "There's an ice cream stain in here," Jacob said, carefully cleaning Julia's face. There was a moment of silence in that thrilling moment, until the eyes of the two met.

Julia looked down reflexively, and Jacob laughed at her. Their togetherness had to be disturbed when water droplets from the sky began to slowly arrive to those sitting on the park chairs. "Rain?" muttered Julia, raising her hands and looking up at the sky that was turning black and gray.

Before Julia could lower her head to look at Jacob, suddenly the man's jacket was covering her head from the rain. "Just wear this first, until we find shelter," Jacob said, smiling broadly.

Then all of a sudden, Jacob slides under the hood of his jacket and manages to startle Julia. jacob can clearly see the blush on the cheeks of the girl who is under the same jacket as him, he smiled at her when the two's eyes met again.

Jacob then invites Julia to take shelter in a closed burger shop. along the way, Julia could only remain silent while following his steps. Julia was speechless, she just lowered her head with her heart pounding in her chest. Leaving a warm feeling in the middle of the cold rain, that day.

"I love seeing Julia's change," Charlie said as he gathered with his wife and eldest son. "I thought the kid would continue to be cold to us, but it has been that Julia has been making good progress for a while now."

Louis didn't seem to like to hear that. meggan only chuckled, then agreed with her husband's words, "You're right, honey. Julia is so cute now."

"I've made the decree to move the two companies on Julia's behalf." Charlie's sudden words sounded like lightning in broad daylight to Louis. the man with the thin mustache opened his eyes. "WHAT?!" he exclaimed, startled.

"Papa is crazy? Why give company for that kid !?" Louis clearly did not accept the unilateral decision made by his father. His papa was too much.

"Louis, watch your mouth! You're starting to dare to fight Papa ?!You want Papa to revoke your restaurant business right now !? "

Louis's teeth clenched against each other in anger. "Why does it have to be Julia who Papa gave our assets of wealth ?! Your son who has grown up right now does not existLouis is more skilled and smarter than him and Papa can give me all the ownership of the company! "

Louis's irritation peaked. "But Papa chose Julia instead ?! Don't do anything unreasonable, Pa!"

"Shut up! You don't need to interfere, Louis! Papa's decision is final!" Charlie immediately stood up and left his wife and child who were clenching their fists tightly.

Louis was silent, he looked at the father with a piercing gaze. Always, always Julia comes first. It's always the child that both parents are proud of. even though 27 years had passed, but not even once his parents really paid attention to him.

"Why does it have to be trash that you love? Why not me?" Meggan's muttering was heard by Meggan, who immediately commented on his words. "Stop insulting your brother, Louis," said Meggan sternly. "Don't keep doing something that could harm our family. Remember your behavior as a teenager."

"We really had a hard time removing the dirt that you made at that time! Don't you embarrass this family anymoreand respect your brother! "

"I've never had a younger brother like him," said Louis fiercely, with a flat face. He did not accept this sad reality, where his mother never even loved him. From the past, even now.

Louis stood up, choosing to ignore the words of the woman who had given birth to him. His heart was too sick to get different treatment from his father and mother who should have supported him as the first child they could be proud of.

however, the reality he got was the opposite. In fact, it was Julia who was deified by them as the second child. Louis then went over to the stairs, leading to his room on the second floor. His eyes were so dark and cold, as if they could freeze anyone who happened to meet him face to face.

"I'll pay back Julia's every move," Louis whispered to himself. "And get rid of that bitch for good. Just watch."

his chest cavity was already very tight because it was filled with very deep hatred for his younger brother. This is clearly not an act of humiliation, he is quite sure this is not a big sin, Louis just wants to claim the rights that have been deprived of him so far.

Nothing is more fun than a confession .
