51. Marvin's Promise

Marvin steps hurriedly towards Leo's apartment. After news of Arina's return, Marvin goes to Leo's apartment. After pressing the bell repeatedly, the door opened.

"Why so long? What the hell are you doing? ". Groused Marvin.

" You think I'm the doorman, who's always ready to open the door when you come. You suck ". Leo was upset.

" Where is he? ". Ask Marvin.

" Where is inside resting ". Answer Leo.

Marvin tries to find Arina. It looks like the woman is enjoying a cartoon while occasionally laughing. It seemed that the woman had forgotten the bad incident that had happened to her some time ago. Unknowingly Arina turned her head and she was surprised to see Marvin standing not far from her. To the extent that the juice he had just drank was about to get him back out because he choked. To make his nose sting.

"sister Marvin? ". Arina said in surprise and then spontaneously stood up. Fear immediately struck him considering his attitude and behavior that made the Marvin household cold war. Cold sweat started to wash his hands. Arina squeezed her hands against each other so that her nervousness was slightly reduced.

"How are you? ". Marvin asked coldly.

" A-I'm okay, brother?". Arina's speech was stamped.

"Sit down, don't bother me ". Marvin said then sat the same sofa with a distance that is not too far away.

Arina and Leo sat their bodies there.

" Have you eaten? ".

" Then Leo bought me breakfast ". Arina replied slowly while continuing to look down. Leo saw Arina a little uncomfortable. Then it cleared its throat to slightly dilute the awkward atmosphere.

" Are you not at the office today? ". Ask Leo to his boss and best friend.

" In a moment, I was just dropping off Marinka and then I stopped by to see Arina.

" What exactly happened to you? Why you got held captive by Jimy. Isn't Jimy Mr. Andrew's confidant".Marvin asked full of questions. So did Leo who looked at Arina questioningly. Since then, he has not known what really happened. Arina hasn't told me the whole story yet.

"Okay, I don't know either? ". Arina answered nervously. He couldn't possibly have told her about being forced to tease Marvin. Or even hurt Marvin. Then Jimy's attitude changed. Jimy, who said he wanted himself to be his wife. I don't know, Jimy's serious or bragging.

"But that night I saw you fucked up. It's like you're avoiding your family. I'm right, aren't I? ". Ask Leo to investigate. Arina was confused about where to tell her.

"I can't tell you now. I'll tell you next time I'm ready". Said Arina while continuing to hold her hands together. He didn't want Marvin to know about all the crimes he had committed. He was afraid of disappointing Marvin, especially if later Grace's aunt knew his behavior during the big house stay. He'll be so embarrassed.

"Is it up to you?". Marvin said casually.

"Oh yeah Leo, do you know who sent that damn photo to Marinka a while ago? ". Ask Marvin later. Makes Arina turn back.

" I lost track. I heard that man has fled the country. I don't know, my man suddenly couldn't reach him ". Obviously Leo.

" I hope we find him soon. And soon find out what's behind all this. Because that man I lost my son ". Marvin said with angry eyes.

" Don't force it, the important thing is that your relationship with Marinka has now improved ". Leo's words are soothing.

" I understand, but it still feels odd". Marvin.

"I'm sorry I'm going to rest for a while". said Arina in a hurry. Marvin and Leo looked confusedly at Arina who suddenly left them.

"Where did you sleep last night? ". Marvin asked full of questions.

" Of course a disofa. You think I took a chance? I'm a good guy you know it's ". Leo was upset.

" it's up to you. But will Marinka not know? ".

" I can set it up in your name".

"Well if that's what you want ". Leo relented.

" Oh yeah some days maybe I'll rarely go to the office. My father wanted me to come home and help him in the company". Said Leo.

"It's okay. Anyway I'm surprised at you. You're the crown prince of a top businessman but why are you working with me".

"My color is lazy to set. I don't want all my privacy to be their business".

"You're home yet? ". Sapa Marinka after seeing her husband enter their apartment.

" As you can see ". Marvin said while kissing the top of Marinka's head. Makes Marinka always blush. Marinka then hugged Marvin tightly to make Marvin wonder.

" why? Did something happen? ". Ask Marvin softly.

"No, I just miss you. All day my feelings were uncertain. I don't know, I've been worried since you left my office this morning". Said Marinka while continuing to stick her head against the man's chest.

" I'm fine, baby, nothing happened to me. All right, let me take a shower and then I'll hold you till morning ". Marvin said, then briefly kissed Marinka's lips.

" all right.. Quickly shower. I'll prepare food for you ". Marinka went into the kitchen and Marvin continued to clean his body.

Within minutes Marvin was down with a fresh face. Her favorite white t-shirt always sticks to her.

" You cook a lot like him? ". Ask Marvin.

" I just made some spicy meat soup for you. But with chili that is not too much. I'm still thinking about your health. So don't you dare ask for more chili like you always do ". Said Marinka upset because her husband would not be able to eat if the cuisine is less spicy. Marvin smiled and hugged Marinka from behind. Marvin kisses the side of Marinka's face lovingly.

" Okay, my dear, don't worry. From now on I will pay attention to my health. I want to live longer with you. Replace all the things that are missed. And I want to be a proud father to our children ". Said Marvin while tightening his embrace. Marinka smiled and rubbed Marvin's hand against her stomach.

" Of course, we're gonna be happy parents with adorable kids. You know if she's still in my stomach, maybe my stomach will be as big as Emily's. Our pregnancies are almost the same, right? ". Marinka said slightly. Marvin felt the pain that also directly pierced his heart. Marvin turned Marinka's body. Marinka's face was grim and her eyes were glazed over.

" You met him? ". Marvin asked while tidying Marinka's mane behind her ear.

" I accidentally met him. She's buying cute baby clothes. Emily said she said the baby was a girl She'd be so pretty like Emily ". Marinka said with a bitter smile staring in all directions so that her tears do not fall.

Marvin grabbed Marinka's body and buried her in her chest. Marvin knew Marinka was missing her baby. Before long Marinka was sobbing could not help her crying. Marvin rubbed Marinka's back to calm her down.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If that night I hadn't been angry and accused you of being the only one that wasn't possible right now we'd be as happy as Thomas and Emily ". Marvin parau said. He lost it just as much as Marinka. But he tried to accept the harsh reality.

" I swear I'll keep looking for the mastermind of all that mess. The one who made us misunderstand ". Marvin assures Marinka. Marinka was only able to nod with her hand tightly clutching Marvin's shirt.

" If you find him, you'll have to give him to me. You have to promise Marvin. I'll punish him ". Marinka said sobbing.

" I promise ".
