“*Can be before we go to Juan's house to pick up Riko, we go to Gevan's grave. I. I want to meet Gevan even though I can only see his grave. There's something I want to get to Gevan.” Milla said slowly, long Milla waiting for an answer from Marvel because Marvel was silent for a moment Milla said her wish.
“Alright if that's what you want. We'll be there before we pick up Riko.” Marvel turned the car back toward the public cemetery where Gevan was in the tomb.
And maybe later when it's time, Marvel will also invite Riko to come there because however Riko deserves to know about his father and also Gevan would be happy if his son came to see him and also pray for him*.
***
Marvel and Milla are now standing near Marvel's grave, they have sprinkled flowers on Gevan's grave.
It still seems very unlikely that Milla believes that Gevan is dead, Marvel crouched next to Gevan's grave. Sitting looking at the tombstone bearing the name of the man who had been her husband.
“Gevan.. I have forgiven you, forgiven you for leaving me and Riko, who neglected your duties as a father and husband. I have forgiven you for abandoning us and therefore I also apologize from you, sorry for being so bad to you, sorry also because on your last day I couldn't be by your side. I'm sorry that I married another man and lived happily without you. I'm sorry.” whispered Milla slowly, but even though Milla said it in a soft voice. Marvel, standing not far from Milla, could hear everything clearly.
“Milla.. There is one more thing about Marvel that I haven't told you.” Marvel told Milla that made Milla turn her head, looking up at Marvel with a frown.
“Gevan has left you and Riko to me and asked me to make sure you live happily, so you don't have to feel guilty for being happy while Gevan dies because that's what Gevan wants. You and Riko live happily so that he can rest there and no longer feel guilty for leaving you.”
Not her calm Milla was even more crying, Milla was crying because when Gevan was just dying in Gevan's mind there was still Milla and Riko. When death is near to pick up Gevan is still thinking about how Milla and Riko ahead of him.
While Milla instead spent her time hating Gevan and felt that the suffering she had been through was all because of Gevan. If it wasn't for marrying Gevan then Milla's life wouldn't be sad. By marrying Gevan, Milla can have Riko. His much loved son.
And also because it was married to Gevan that Milla could meet with Marvel, if not because Gevan until now maybe Milla would never know Marvel, they would not have married like this.
Milla wiped her tears, “Thank you Gevan, may you be happy there.”

“I heard your parents will pick you up soon.” Markus who just returned from the bathroom was talking to Riko who was busy reading Mark's textbook, a little work on the problem that Mark had answered but was wrong.
Riko turned her head cheerfully, “True?”
“Hmm.”
“You why do not want to call me brother, I am older than you.” said Riko noticed Markus who took over his book and put it carelessly on his study table.
“I don't have a sister.” Markus turns to his bedroom window, through the window he notices the yard next door where Adara is there playing with his younger brother, Lucas.
“You keep peeking from here, if you really want to play with him just meet directly.” said Riko after seeing what Markus noticed from behind the window.
Riko who was standing next to Mark was looking out, but in contrast to Mark Riko's attention was diverted to the car he recognized that stopped in the yard of this house.
Riko's smile rose wide, the car was none other than his father's car. Riko cheerfully ran out of Markus' room.
“Papa and my Mama are coming!” riko shouted running down the stairs quickly. Feeling impatient to meet with Marvel and Milla after not meeting since yesterday.
Riko was happy not to play when he saw Marvel and Milla coming together to pick him up, before his Riko had thought badly that he would lose the figure of the father but now all his lost.
Mama and Papa are back to how they were, and that really makes Riko happy.
“Ma! Pa!” riko shouted happily, Marvel suddenly opened his arms to receive a longing hug from Riko. “Mama with Papa here to pick up Riko right?”
Marvel nodded listening to his son's question, “Iya dear, Mama and Papa came to pick up Riko.”
Riko smiled widely until her adorable teeth were seen. Riko's gaze turned to Milla, but Riko's eyebrows rose to the top when she saw Milla's eyes reddened and wet like a person who had finished crying.
“Mama out crying?” riko asked Milla, worry came back to the little boy's mind. Worrying to see my mother sad.
“Haha yes dear, but this is not because Mama is sad, this is because Mama is happy.” Milla laughed looking at Riko's confused face.
“Why happy? happy to see Riko again?”
This time not only Milla laughed but Marvel and Sabrina also laughed at Riko's innocent answer. “Haha yes, Mama is also very happy to meet Riko. But Mama there is more happy news, not just Mama who is happy. Riko would also be happy to hear it.”
“What?”
“Riko will soon have a sister, in the stomach of Mama there is already her little sister Riko.” Milla rubbed her flat stomach in front of Riko, Riko was confused before the end finally smiled happily because she understood that Milla was now pregnant.
“Really?” ask Riko enthusiastically.
“True darling, soon Riko will be a Sister.”
Riko returned a carefree smile, she was happy that finally her desire to have a sister was granted as well. Riko turned to Mark who stood among the stairs, Mark must have heard from there.
But Mark's view is not a happy or happy view for Riko, Markus just as if looking at Riko with a look of pity. And to be honest it made Riko feel uncomfortable.
Riko remembered Mark's earlier words to her that someday if Riko already had a new sister, he said, then Riko will lose everything she has and the affection of both her parents will only be poured out to her sister and Riko will be forgotten.
Riko shook her head, such a thing will not happen. Her parents will not forget her and Riko will love her sister later. What Markus felt was different from Riko.
They are not the same, their condition is not the same.
It should be Riko who looked at Mark with a sad look, sad because Markus could not understand why his parents were busy and more attentive to Viola. Because Viola needs more attention.
Viola was not like other children, his condition was very weak, his heart was weak. Doctors say that Viola may not be long.
But Markus is Markus, his cousin will not want to understand as Riko said.
“Riko ready to go home?” ask Marvel to Riko who answered a nod of encouragement by Riko.
“Ready, Pa!”
