SUGAR BROTHERS
SEASON II CHAPTER 31

*Riko shook her head in disagreement, “Riko wants to continue to sleep. Riko never used to sleep with Mama because Mama always works, now why Riko also should not be accompanied because it will be a big brother. Riko doesn't want to go to bed by herself!”

Milla breathed a heavy sigh, feeling guilty when she remembered Milla always left Riko for work and now when Milla was no longer working, Milla instead said Riko should not be accompanied again before going to bed because Riko was already big.

“Iya dear, Mama will accompany Riko to sleep next as well. Even though Riko is already a big sister. Riko happy?”

Riko nodded her head happily, seeing Riko happy to make Milla happy too.

“Then let's go to sleep, tomorrow Riko will have to go to school*.”

***

Already 7 months passed, the age of Milla's content has reached the age of 7 months anyway, Milla's stomach already looks enlarged and Marvel also became more strict watching Milla.

Riko usually leaves for school with Marvel but the one who picks her up is Milla, but now Marvel forbids Milla to pick up Riko, so that Marvel is the one who picked Riko up back from school if he had time and if not then the driver will pick up.

But this time Marvel could not pick up, the driver could not pick up Riko because the driver's wife was sick. While Milla took the initiative to pick up Riko but Marvel banned.

Marvel chose to ask for help from Sabrina who was also picking Markus up from school because of their adjacent school, Sabrina said she also did not mind all playing to Milla's house and strengthen the relationship between them.

Because ever since Sabrina married Juan, Sabrina has never really been close to Milla. Moreover, Monica's one-of-a-kind sister Juan and Marvel are not so close to Sabrina.

One of his only female family members who opened up and accepted Sabrina well as Juan's wife was only Milla. Maybe because they are just as hard-living and raising their hard-earned child alone so they both understand each other.

Sabrina is still driving her car, Viola is sitting in her special baby seat in the car while Markus and Riko who Sabrina has picked up from school are both sitting next to each other.

“How is school, what is fun?” sabrina asked the two boys, but the only one who answered was Riko. Markus looks busy with his toys.

“Fun Auntie.” replied Riko politely, Riko turned to the cool Markus herself. Riko nudged Markus with his elbow intending to make Mark turn his head in his direction and it worked, Mark turned his head with an unhappy face.

“Tante asked, why don't you answer?” riko asked in a whisper, not wanting Sabrina to hear her. Riko reluctantly rebukes Markus in front of Sabrina.

Markus raised his eyebrows no matter what, “If I answered my day at the terrible school, would he take me out of that school and move me to a better school? the answer is no. She will definitely just blame me, saying that my day was terrible because of my bad attitude.”

Riko was silent to Mark's words, Markus was younger than Riko but Riko did not understand Mark's mindset. Markus is weird according to Riko. Mark hated everything, hated everything. Including her own mother.

“If you behave badly of course others will treat you badly as well Markus.” said Riko slowly.

Markus laughed cynically at Riko's reply, Markus ignored his toys and looked at Riko with a look as if pitying. “Do not care about me, just think about yourself. You're getting forgotten by your parents opening up? Your position in your family has begun to be sidelined, hasn't it? just look later after the sister you crave was born, you already do not mean anything else in the eyes of your beloved Mama and Papa.”

Riko had indeed started to feel there was a difference in her parents' treatment towards her however, Riko remained silent and felt because it was natural. Her mother is pregnant, Riko sees with her own eyes how difficult her mother moves with a large stomach, so Riko is not much demanding, let alone just about picking up.

Riko is busy with her own thoughts until not realizing that they have reached her house, they all get off the car and are greeted warmly by Milla who has been waiting at the door.

“Wah..your stomach is already huge yes, it must have been difficult to move ya.” Sabrina who was carrying Viola approached Milla and rubbed Milla's distended stomach.

“Haha that's it, brother, oh yes let's go inside. Me and the waiter have lunch ready, let's have lunch together.” Milla let Sabrina in.

“Riko and Markus are hungry yet? if you're hungry, you eat first.” Sabrina couldn't come to eat together because she had to feed Viola first.

“Your content is 7 months old? male or female?” sabrina asked Milla as she lowered Viola from her sling, laying Viola on the thick carpet of Milla's living room.

Viola was almost a year old but Viola still could not move as agile as a baby her age. And it made Milla sad to see her, and it was also definitely difficult for Sabrina to take care of her.

“Me and Marvel deliberately do not want to know her gender to be a surprise later during childbirth. Men and women are all the same. Healthy or not we will still take good care of him.” Milla touched Viola's pale cheeks, “Is Viola still the same sister?”

Sabrina nodded her head, “Ya. still the same. She kept crying without me knowing what the reason was, if Viola could talk I would definitely know where the pain was but Viola could only cry and yes, yes, sometimes it makes me a little frustrated. But how else, what worries it is the growth and development of Viola which is much slower than the child in general. Until now, Viola still has difficulty crawling, even though he is almost a year old.”

Milla patted Sabrina softly on the shoulder, “I salute you Kak.”

Of course Milla salutes Sabrina, Viola was not Sabrina's biological child, Viola Juan's child from other women but Sabrina remained with a sincere heart to keep Viola who was always sickly.

***

The house is deserted, Sabrina and her children have returned home. Now there is only Milla and Riko in the living room while watching the show of Riko's favorite cartoon on television, which Riko always watched every time he came home from school.

Riko sat right next to Milla, while Milla rubbed her stomach gently. Milla grimaced softly as she felt the baby in her stomach kicking, Riko who was next to Milla was shocked and looked at Milla's face with worry.

“Your sister surprised Mama, she kicked suddenly. Looks like he's happy to be watching cartoons with his Big Brother.” Milla said as she rubbed her stomach back.

Riko who heard this smiled and put her ears on her mother's big belly.

“Adik, don't be naughty right there. Riko is also happy to watch with you. Don't kick anymore yeah, pity Mama.” Riko then kissed the belly of the distended Milla with a lot of affection, Riko is indeed a child figure and also a loving Brother.

Milla is sure, her second child will definitely be happy to have an older brother like Riko.
