My best friend is a Substitute Husband

Best friend

Cheryl rubbed her eyes. It was as if what he saw was just a hallucination.

Cheryl grabs a tissue to wipe her tears once again she tries to convince herself that she is not hallucinating."Fan... please tell me is this really what I saw? Derrel's in front of me right now?" Cheryl was a little traumatized by her vision.

Derrel smiled as his presence was doubted by his little friend

He approached Cheryl and without permission immediately pinched the cheeks of her best friend."This is real proof I'm here." Derrel then chuckled.

"Auch! It hurts!" exclaiming Cheryl pouted while hitting Derrel.

Derrel and Fany laugh at Cheryl's cute face.

Cheryl also intends to avenge Derrel's behavior. He wanted to pick out Derrel's ears like they used to do when they were kids.

They are chasing each other and laughing in jokes .For a moment of sadness that Cheryl felt forgotten.The sudden reunion this time was completely unexpected Cheryl. For almost ten years they have never met.

Fany smiled with relief at last her best friend could still smile in the grief she felt.

"Yeah.." said Fany when Cheryl's bedroom door was knocked by someone.

"The car is ready, son. We'll wait downstairs..." Fany then opens the door and codes for her to help persuade Cheryl to come to the funeral.

"Bagas doesn't go wherever he's with us." Cheryl stared blankly ahead.

"Ryl...!!" Fany feels gregety with Cheryl's attitude, but Derrel signals to give her time to talk to Cheryl.

Fany and Mama finally relented and gave Derrel a chance to persuade Cheryl.

Derrel thrusts the tissue at Cheryl. "Ryl.I know this is hard for you.It is hard to accept the fact that all your dreams of happiness must be buried so soon. But all this you can't keep denying. You must be able to accept the fact that Bagas is now home." Derrel seeks to enlighten Cheryl.

Cheryl's tears are still gathering at the corner of her eye."I saw it Rel ...Bagas is not dead yet.I even had time to hold him tightly just before Fany pulled me to the operating room." explained Cheryl kekeh with her thoughts.

Derrel took a deep breath."Cheryl ...., I asked ya? Have you seen Bagas' body at the Hospital'? That's right Bagas, right?" Derrel tries to make Cheryl aware of the reality.

Derrel also told him that Fany had told him about the incident at the Hospital when Bagas said goodbye to Cheryl. Derrel convinces Cheryl that Bagas deliberately meets with her so that there is no regret later on. He wanted to say goodbye to closing their story with a memory.

Bagas wants his presence will continue to be remembered.Despite losing him is something that breaks the heart, but his departure is not to be forgotten. Except to be remembered but not also hamper the step forward, but for a memory that will be stored in memory.

"Chery... remember always yesterday there is a story that has ended.Tomorrow no one knows what will happen.But today is a gift given to us to do the best we can we do in the life that is still entrusted to us." Derrel tries to open and awaken Cheryl's mind.

Cheryl wiped the tears."Yuk Rel... accompany me to the funeral." said Cheryl.

Derrel is relieved."That's the new Cheryl that I know is tough and strong" Derrel tore Cheryl's hair with a smile.
