Stop Sugarcoating Baby

"HUWAAA! Papa! Please wake up, Papa!"

A seven year old boy is seen weeping next to his father's dead coffin. His tears flowed profusely, his sad roar and sobs filled the atmosphere of the funeral home which was starting to be deserted from the relatives and friends who came to mourn.

The boy's older brother named Javier who was standing beside the child who was crying hysterically also shed his tears in silence. His tears fell, she silently shed tears of sadness. jacob tries to look strong in the middle of the sea of ​​wounds that they are now forced to dive into for a reason they never thought before. Why did this misfortune have to befall his little family?

Jacob turned and looked at his brothis with a feeling of tightness filling his chest. Javier, his younger brother, continues to cry lamenting the loss of the people they really care about and idolize. The figure that is used as a role model by all boys around the world, namely the figure of a father they love.

at a relatively young age, both of them must be willing to be left forever by their father.

Now, all that's left is him, Javier and their mother. The ten-year-old then hugged Javier, while trying to give his younger brother peace of mind through words of encouragement that he also addressed to himself.

"Never mind ... stop crying, Javi," he said soothingly. "You know Papa doesn't like to see his boys cry? So, calm down, brother is here with you."

Javier's sobs did not stop, they became even more. With great difficulty, he replied to the words of his older brother, "B-but, Sis ... our father has died — HUWAAA! PAPAhuhuuu, don't leave Javi, Pa! "

Jacob sighed softly as he patted his younger brother's back gently. He also did not think that his papa would leave this quickly.

After learning about the sad news that befell Maria, his wife, the mother of Javier and Jacob, their father who has a history of heart disease suddenly had a relapse. they were all late in calling for help, until the poor man breathed his last without even having time to say anything to all of them.

some distant relatives who had just arrived, looked at the two children who were crying beside their father's coffin with cynical eyes. "Look at those two kids, what a pity," commented one of them, clearly condescending.

"You're right, sisterI heard that Hubert died of shock to hear that his wife was raped and the son of the rich man who raped him was simply released by the police because he had a guarantor who clearly had a lot of money. Who wouldn't be shocked when they heard that? "

"YesI was also surprised to hear that these children witnessed the rape firsthand. Tsk, tsk, how stupid. Maria is definitely not against that coercion, because she really enjoys the touch of men who are younger than her. "

"How sad, huhI heard that she is now crazy and doesn't want to see her children anymore. Maybe it was divine punishment for seducing a young man. "

Jacob, who heard all the slanted comments full of insults, could only be silent. However, he clenched his hands as he closed his eyes tightly. His emotions boiled over in his chest. He felt angry, very angry.

Why don't people have the slightest empathy for them? Why do these people even blame their mothers for being the victims of the madness of the gospel? Why even insult those who have just become orphans? why should those who have such low words?

"Big Brother ...." Javier understood that the scorn was directed at them, he then tightened his hug to his brother. "Sis ... are we pathetic?"

"Psst, calm down," Jacob whispered softly. he still made gentle strokes on his younger brother's back. "Just close your ears, and be strong until all the bitterness of life is over. We can both make it through, my brother. Trust me."

"Thank you for watching this video until the end. See you in our next video!"

as soon as the recording ended, Jacob took off the Line character costume he was wearing. The young man smoothed his black hair for a moment before asking his younger brother, "How did it go?"

Javier, who was checking the camcorders that he used to record his brother, replied, "GoodI will edit it after this. Brother, just rest first! "He replied cheerfully.

Jacob tidied up his utensils and put them back in the drawer. "Later, after this I'll make dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?" he asked his younger brother.

Javier who was fiddling with the camera turned his head and smiled broadly at Jacob. "It's up to you. I'll keep eating it as long as it's what you make," Javier replied softly.

Jacob laughed.

This is their family life now. It's just him and Javier.

Now, Jacob must meet the necessities of life for his little family by making videos and uploading them to Youtube. The income he gets now is much better than the income when he works outside part time. As he had done before.

"Don't forget to study and keep in mind our goals, Javi."

Javier nodded briefly, seeing that his brother had started giving advice. "Of course I will never forget, Brother. No one will easily forget their past wounds. Is that right?"

jacob smiled faintly. His younger sibling has grown bigger and more mature. And that makes him proud. He then returned to say, "Yes, my brother. Whatever it is, be strong and repay the actions of those who have humiliated us. Understand?"

"We prove it, we can be great people."

Javier then saluted his brother. "Ready, General!" he said obediently. "We will prove to the point of making them dumbfounded and astonished!"

The two of them then laughed together with joy. because, they believe that life is about struggle, and they are now struggling to continue living.

In a mansion painted gray, precisely at the Petersons residence. let's go to their family dining room which is being occupied by three members of the family.

"Louis, please wake up your brother in his roomtoday Julia has a math test at school, and she must not be late, "said a woman who has entered middle age, but still has a beautiful face. She turned her head, facing her eldest child.

Meggan, who was busy arranging the spice pots, couldn't wake up his beloved daughter now. Therefore, he also asked Louis to wake up his daughter.

Louis, who was sipping his cup of tea, frowned. "I don't want to, Mahe can wake up by himself, "he replied, placing the cup on the table.

Charlie, who had just come out of the room, then approached his wife who was standing near the sink. "Don't have breakfast?" Meggan asked, fixing her husband's light blue tie. Charlie glanced at the watch on his left wrist. "I don't think so, honey. In thirty minutes the company meeting will start."

"I'm afraid I won't get there."
