Chapter 5 You Can Charm!

• ( Missamy Charm POV's)
• The door opened boastfully.
• “Charm!” my brother. I looked up into his eyes. And I can’t take it because his eyes trying to convince me to… “Charm, please do it. Please cooperate us!”
• “We are in hurry…” and he close his eyes. Trying to calm himself.
• “But bro, this is no longer a game. Or a game that we will going to deceive someone, just for your boss?!” No need to hide the fact to him. He sighed with a serious and hopeless face as well. I can’t take seeing him like this. This also tears my heart apart.
• “Charm. One question. One answer. Just respond, Yes or No.”
• My heart trembles waiting for his question, and there it goes…
• “Do you believe me?” He asked with eyes seeking my eyes for a acceptable answer.
• “Brother…” the only word that came out of my mouth.
• “Yes or no.”
• “Yes, Of course I do trust and believe in you. But...” He cut again my words.
• “You don’t have to worry Charm. I already heard the conditions. I thoroughly read the agreement. This will only last for five months. Then after that, it’s over. I am only asking you five months. I believe in you too Charm. You can do this. I promise I will never leave you. Or put your life at risk.” his eyes pleading to me… “You just have to give your trust on me.” He said convincingly as he explained that I really need to get into this. I really have to do this.
• I looked at him as tears fall from my eyes as an answer. I could not do anything. I have to obey him. I know he is tired of me too. I know, all this time I have been so dependent on him.
• “They pampered you well and where's the Charm I know? Have they lost it? My enthusiastic sister was gone? Cheer up. You’re so beautiful when you smile Charm. You must smile for me. Even without make up, you have the prettiest smile I have ever seen. And now, because of that make up, you will cry in front of me? What if we just remove your make up?”
• He holds my hands tightly.
• “I don’t want to see you like this Charm. If you don’t want it just say so…” I am staring at his face, seems to be giving up on me. I hold his hands as tight as I can. Telling myself I have to do this! Not just for him but for the sake of both of us.
• “I can do this bro!” I answered with full courage and strength.
• “That’s my Charm.” He said joyfully with a smile showing his relief from disappointment.
• He let go of my hands.
• “You can Charm!” he uttered these words as he wipe the tears on my face with his fingers.
• “Smile Charm. You look like mom.” Then I gave him a big smile.
• I know between the two of us, he is the most misses our parents more than I do and the lifestyle he used to live. But I really believe he’s the strongest person I have ever met. He did everything for the sake of me. He willingly accepted all the obligations and responsibilities of being a parent for me.
• Brother, this made me the luckiest person anyone could ever wish for. Having you as my brother is my life, without you I am nothing.
• ( Missamy Charm POV's )
• He is all I have.
• Our relatives forget about us when our business went bankrupt. And at this very moment, he’s the one needing me. I guess it is my time to pay him back. To give him back all he has given me all throughout my existence. I could never imagine saying no to him. I know he will never put me in a situation where I wouldn’t be safe.
• Never. I trust him.
• “I also want Juan Carlos smile too.” He smiled and pat my head.
• “Don’t mention Juan, it sucks Charm.” And we both laughed.
• It just seemed weird and historical why our names have “Juan and Maria.”
• “There you go, you look so pretty.” My brother proudly said.
• “I would like to thank this opportunity to thank you bro for everything.” I can’t think of any word to express how grateful I am and just give him a tight hug as if it was our last day of being together.
• “Being your brother is the most wonderful responsibility I have fulfilled, and I am proud of it! Seeing you a fully grown up beautiful young lady is more than enough for me. Be a nice lady Charm.” These words filled my heart with joy I have felt for the first time in my life. Having him as my brother is just fantastic in his own way.
• See? He really felt being my full-time parents ever since.
• He pinched my nose.
• “Follow them Charm.” He turned back and left the room.
• Once again, I sighed. I really have to wear this wedding gown. Wish me luck.
• The gown is elegant! So you would be the most beautiful lady today, Charm.
• Cheer up Charm, you can do this!
• (Carlos POV’s)
• I am just hoping I made a right decision for my sister’s future. I am too exhausted. I feel the numbness on my face. I can’t do anything to my upcoming fate. I am not yet ready to leave her since I know she has nowhere to go. Thinking no one will defend her, I can't just let go myself. She needs me. Even our relatives turn their back to us. They are useless. Tsk.
• My tears were falling from my eyes already when I saw my young sister. She looks exactly, Mom.
• Honestly, I miss Mom and Dad. But sooner I will come to them and... leaving Missamy behind us.... I shook my head. No.
• Charm...
• A face that always reminds me the moment I have with our loving mother.
• Hoping… Before I leave this world, I can see her in a good state of life. Happy and stable. That would be my death wish. And I am peaceful to leave this world. I know this world is so unfair. Full of suffering. That I am not exception to experience all of this.
• All I wish is that she will never experience the cruelty of this world. May she find comfort and lifelong happiness in this world.
• Every time I open my eyes in the morning. I am thankful that the kind Lord give me an opportunity to secure my sister. I secretly smile when everyday I heard her ramping and soaring noised. Her nuisance greetings were my indicator that I am still here in the world.
• About this rushed wedding, this is only the way I could think to take advantage something that I don’t know. If I could just look for other ways to secure her, I wouldn’t let her involve in my boss game. But this is the only thing I could do.
• I need to secure my sister as long as I still have time and life to live.
• I don’t want to leave her alone. But life is so unfair. I really wanted to see having her own family and live a happy life. Even growing old with her is my ever dream. Hence, fate’s unkind. Of all the people who would have this kind of illness, why it has to me?
• Me, who still has many dreams and goals. But I gave up and focused on securing my younger sister future.
• “Charm, I know, you can do this. I will always be your number one fan and supporter; Your big brother Juan Carlos, so proud of you.”
• And suddenly… I can’t breathe.
