SUGAR BROTHERS
SEASON II CHAPTER 23

*Marvel does not know what to answer Riko's question, because Marvel itself does not know where Milla really is and where. Marvel cannot tell Riko that Milla is home because Marvel is not sure that Milla is really coming home.

Milla said it takes time to be alone.

“Why doesn't Papa answer?” ask Marvel once again.

“Mama same Papa why fight continues, Riko does not like. Riko doesn't want Mama to fight. Riko does not want to go back to how she used to be, Riko does not want to not have a father anymore.” Riko's voice sounds vibrating, she is sad to see her parents' relationship change. Riko was also sad because this afternoon the three of them should have had lunch together happily but what happened was exactly like this.

Although she was a child, Riko also knew what heartache was*.

***

Marvel's heart breaks hearing Riko's words, Riko is very afraid of losing her. Maybe because it has felt what it feels like without a father makes Riko very very afraid of losing Marvel.

Marvel feels even more guilty, what if Milla can't forgive herself and ends up asking for a breakup, what about Riko? Riko must be very sad and feel betrayed.

“Papa promise you won't leave Riko and Mama?" Riko looked at Marvel with her sad face, she stuck out her little pinky finger at Marvel, inviting Marvel to make an appointment with her.

Marvel linked her little finger with Riko's little pinky finger, “Papa promised Papa wouldn't leave Riko and Mama.”

But in his heart, Marvel said that he could not promise if Milla wanted to leave him. Because Marvel doesn't know if he has the power to hold Milla back or not.

But Marvel vows he won't give up, just before Marvel loses his love for Clara and releases Clara for Damian.

Now that Marvel won't let go of Milla, Marvel won't budge again. Marvel will fight for Milla at any cost and will fight to get Milla's trust back despite having to go the easy way even if Marvel doesn't matter.

“It is better that you finish your problem with Milla, Riko can stay at my house first as long as your problem is not finished, at least in my house there is Markus who can be a friend of Riko.” said Juan gave an input, Marvel nodded in agreement and turned back to look at Riko.

“Riko is okay to stay at Om Juan's house again temporarily, play with Markus there.” Marvel rubbed Riko's head gently, Riko nodded her head according to.

“Don't be long but yes Pa, pick up Riko later but pick up her same Mama.”

This time it was Marvel who nodded her head, “Iya dear, definitely.”

***

Riko came home with Juan, sadly he brought back the lunch box he brought along with his Mama to eat together.

Marvel told Riko to bring the box and eat it with Markus at Juan's house later.

Along the way Riko just silently looked at the streets and occasionally glanced at Juan who was busy driving, Juan would just drive him to his house and then go back to the office.

Arriving at Juan's house, Riko got off Juan's car without Juan coming down and into the house. There was Sabrina waiting in front of the gate to welcome Riko.

After Riko got out of Juan's car, the car immediately drove back to the office. Riko could only look up at Sabrina who was smiling towards him.

Riko is happy to see Viola again, and sees that Viola has grown bigger than the last day Riko saw her. And as usual, Sabrina was immediately busy taking care of Viola as Riko walked into the mansion.

Riko saw Markus eating at the dinner table alone, Riko who brought the lunch box back remembered his father's words to eat the provisions with Markus.

Riko quickly approached Markus, fearing that Mark had finished eating before Riko ate with him and divided the contents of the food in the lunch box he was carrying.

Riko was sitting right next to Markus, Markus just silently watching Riko as Riko sat next to him and opened the supply box that Riko was carrying.

“Let's eat together, I bring good food. My mom cooked it. This try.” Riko without hesitation gave his food to Mark even though Mark was silent, but even though Mark was silent and did not bother him, Mark still ate the food Riko gave him.

Making Riko smile, at least the food that Riko had prepared with her Mother was eaten and not wasted.

After the two of them eat, Riko follows Mark into Mark's room. Sitting there looking at Mark's toy.

“Why are you here?” ask Markus to Riko.

Riko was surprised and turned to Markus, “Can I not go to your room? Sorry, then I'll be out.”

“Not! I mean why did you come to this house, why not with your Mama Papa?” ask Markus again, but this time Markus did not get an answer from Riko. Riko fell silent and lowered her head.

“Did they start ignoring you?” Markus laughed sarcastically at Riko who looked down, “When they have another child, you will definitely be forgotten. Just like me.”

Riko shook her head, “You don't understand Markus. If I was going to have a sister, I would be happy. It's okay if their affection for me diminishes but I don't want them to come back like they used to. I don't want to go back to not having a Dad.”

Markus was silent to hear Riko's words, he chose to return busy playing his robots.

“You didn't play with your friend's friend outside?” riko asked Markus, Markus seemed to stop playing the robots and shook his head.

“No.”

“Not playing with Adara? Aren't you guys your age?” asked Riko again, he remembered the beautiful little girl who lived next door to this house.

“Agara?” Mark is confused, he does not know about Adara.

“Yes, the beautiful little girl who lives next door. But it is better not to play with him anyway, not because playing with women is troublesome but because Adara's father is very fierce. You might not like her.”

Markus smiled again, the little boy had somehow learned from where he could smile obliquely making Riko who saw him rather shudder in horror. “I'm not afraid.”

“I'll be a year older, you should call me Brother.” Riko switched their discussion. However Riko saw Markus shaking his head in disapproval.

Of course Markus where willing to call Riko brother, although Riko now status as his cousin's brother.
