A Sugar Baby
Mindfulness
"Gue thinks the same way about Daniel."
Richard spoke to Ellio who was now staying at his house. The two of them sat in the living room, smoking and typing something on the laptop.
"Gue is the same, I don't think. Koq could be like that." said Ellio then turn off the rest of his cigarettes and grab a drink in the glass. He drank the drink for almost half.
"If it's not the use of the cause, then what dong that makes Daniel so can not move on his from Grace?" Ellio said again, this time with a face expression that seemed to think.
"Grace is like a mother to Daniel." Suddenly Richard said, as if he had found the answer.
"Yes, right?" he asked for Ellio's approval. Ellio seemed silent for a moment, he tried to remember Grace's attitude towards Daniel all this time. Then,
"Yes too." said Ellio later.
"In a way, Daniel lacked the affection of his mother. While other girls want to be spoiled and treated like princesses with her. That's the problem, he can't move on because Grace is motherly." Richard continued.
"That means we should find Daniel, a girl more mature than him?. Let motherhood?. But who, bro?. Daniel's old, we're looking for granny."
"It's not grannies either, Ellio. Grace is only three years from Daniel. We'll find four or five. Six cakes, seven years older than Daniel. Maybe Daniel will change his mind, if that girl can be motherly towards him."
"But who is it, about?" ask Ellio again.
"Yes, you don't know, your cousin might" Richard said.
"My cousin married everyone above my age. I have a child."
"It's okay to be with Daniel."
"Lo ruined people's households, that's his name."
"It's okay, most of Daniel who is pounded as well as your cousin."
This time they both laughed.
"It's bad, um." said Ellio later.

That day after school, Lea took another class held by Sonia's mother. Still around how to walk, because yesterday's lessons are not necessarily able to make participants become proficient and clever. It takes a long and serious exercise, so that the participants really master it.
"Ikutin mommy yes."
"Tap, tap, tap." Mami Sonia stepped up while saying.
"Set, puter, shake your hair."
"Mmm, lizard. Let's all practice." Mami Sonia takes the position.
"Ready, stand up, slightly shake the chest, don't slouch."
All participants follow the instructions of Sami.
"Lea, you don't be dumb."
At once Lea awoke from her daydream and found herself, who had not followed the instructions of the mother of Sonia at all.
"Mmm, i, yes mi."
"Ikutin..!" mami Sonia said later.
"I, yes, mi."
Leah followed the movements of her teacher. They then trained for the next few hours.

"Lo why the hell, Le."
Vita asked when he and Lea had finished training, now they were taking an afternoon snack in the building's canteen. All food is provided free of charge to them.
"Gue thinks the same ex." said Lea while trying to eat the potato chips in front of him.
"former?. You had a guy before?" ask Nina. Lea nodded, then told the two new friends everything.
"Well bad, soap opera abis tuh family ex-boy lo" said Vita after hearing all the stories thrown by Lea.
Lea nodded.
"Is there a picture of him?" ask Nina again.
Lea took a cell phone and showed me a photo of Rangga.
"Smazy, but yes. If his family nyep, why do you maintain. Waste of time, energy, mind." continued Nina again.
"Lo's story is almost the same as mine" said Vita. Leah looked at the girl.
"I used to have a guy, too. This is mending deh, lo guy is tajir his parents. Well my guy, yaelah tajir in the village anyway. In the village of the new car loan price of 100 million, already dare to label himself with the words "The rich."
"His family insulted you?" ask Lea.
"Hmm, not anymore. On my maki-maki, dating his son. In front of the rame man."
"What you tell me about time, Vit." said Nina.
"Yes, the Gio. Her mother was really bad anyway, until I was embarrassed. My mother was embarrassed, but the neighbor was a little shady from home."
"Continue, you livein?" ask Lea.
"Yes, why do I keep it. Gio still loves me. But yes, I also want to live a quiet life. I can't bear to see my parents insulted. So now I want to find a sugar daddy. Let me take a look, at Gio's mom. What is rich really like."
Lea laughs.
"If it's elo, Nin?" ask her later.
"No, I don't have bad memories of my ex. Average good. But, I have always been interested in having a single man. I'm tired of lack of money, everyone wants to buy goods must think first. My basket is in an online store, never checkout. Because I don't have money."
Lea laughed again, and so did Vita. Economic factors are still the biggest scourge, which makes people ultimately willing to take various shortcuts. Including what they are doing now.
"Rather than me, right?"
Again, Nina said and made Lea and Vita more open.

That night Grace uploaded an insta story, and somehow Daniel's hand was so itchy to open the post. He wondered what his ex-lover had uploaded.
Although he has often felt hurt, because Grace often uploads affection with her father. But Daniel really could not help himself, he was still too kepo on the woman's life.
"Click."
He pressed on Grace's upload, and sure enough. The woman was uploading a photo of her distended stomach which was only covered in a thin dress. On his stomach was Daniel's father's hand. Daniel was suddenly runyam then put the phone just like that.
His heart beat faster than it did before he saw the post. Now his head was looking up, looking up at the ceiling. Slowly his memory floated on an event.
"And you did a lot" said Grace, smiling. He and Daniel were at the dinner table and having breakfast together.
"You likey?" ask Daniel then.
Grace nodded while still smiling.
"I'm definitely pregnant in a minute."
Suddenly Daniel stopped eating and looked at Grace intently.
"Grace, please. I don't want to be bothered by children. I don't want to share time and place with a baby, whose job is just to cry. I don't want you to be taken by a creature that's always hungry for attention."
Grace's heart was immediately hit, tears were spread in her eyes.
"Take the usual Contraceptive pill and don't try."
Daniel got up from his seat, grabbed his briefcase and left. Grace was bowed with tears beginning to fall.
Daniel sighed, he remembered all the events that happened back then. He did not expect that his selfishness, in the end, made Grace go from her life.
That night Daniel could not close his eyes, the same thing was felt by Lea. He thought back to Rangga. While Rangga himself was not much different.
That young man was also at this moment, constantly thinking about Lea. How was the expression on the girl's face, when she met her at school. He had to pretend to be ignorant and not recognize her.
Rangga's heart ached, he couldn't explain anything to Lea. His parents confiscated his cell phone and watched his movements. If he forced it, Leah would suffer. Because her parents were able to do anything, to hurt the girl.
