A Sugar Baby
Lea Disappears
Nina was still crying, while now Lea and her friends were trying to calm her down.
"How long have you never told a story?" lea asked Nina. While Nina continued to take tissue and wipe her tears.
"Never Le, I have a bokap at home. I never knew if he was a stepdad, I've never been different from other children all this time."
"Nih lo drink first." said Adisty while giving a bottle of mineral water.
Iqbal and others, as well as some of Nina's classmates, were there and heard the woman's heart.
"Drink first...!"
Ariana followed. Nina finally tried to drink, despite having to fight the tightness in her chest.
"Gua has to ask this to my nyokap, my friend yes Le." said Nina with a look that was so hopeful.
"Oh yeah, I'm going to get it." replied Lea.
The atmosphere in that place did not necessarily subside just like that, because Nina seemed unable to accept reality. His friends kept trying to comfort and advise the woman.

"Fuck, I don't take it with all this. It's nice to play asset to a bunting chick."
Sharon was still grumbling in her car, even though they were now far from where she had met Nina.
"Any girl really is your son?" ask Maya.
"Gue has investigated, his name is the same as that stated in the will. You really my father's son or my bokap stash, do not understand. The girls are the same chili as Lea. Poor do not accept poor, so it makes all possible to get money. I don't know shame."
Sharon continued to press the gas pedal of her car hatefully. While his two friends could only stare at each other, without being able to say anything more.

"Jawab be honest, ma'am. Is it true that Nina is not a biological child?. Is Nina really the son of another man?"
Lea was silent on the seat, with Adisty, as Nina visited her parents' residence and asked for an explanation from her mother.
This was the second time Nina asked a question, but the mother was still silent.
"Mom, the boy hit Nina and got angry in front of the crowd. Nina needs to know what really happened."
Nina's mother lowered her head, and now she turned to look at the child.
"Your father is a recently arrested corruption suspect. His name is Roni Hendra Wijaya."
Nina seemed to freeze, she wanted to deny this reality but could not.
"Mother and she met somewhere, we fell in love and got into a relationship. Roni is serious with mom and so is mom. But it turns out that Roni was betrothed to women from rich and highly educated families, by her parents. They don't want to have a daughter-in-law like mom, who is just a high school graduate and works as an SPG outfit."
Nina's body trembled at all of that, while Lea and Adisty grew silent.
"Roni could not fight, but we were ready to go and elope. But Roni's mother wants to kill herself, eventually she returns home and agrees to an arranged marriage. After that Roni still often met mother, he was not even willing to let go of mother just like that. Until finally pregnant. Hearing the pregnant mother, the mother's parents are furious. I'm in a match with your father now, to cover up the embarrassment. At the beginning of the mother's marriage, Roni still often met the mother. Then our relationship was kissed by Roni's parents. After that I don't know what happened, Roni never saw mom again."
Nina's tears are flowing, she is sad and plus her pregnancy hormones are turbulent. It also became so painful.
While nearby Lea and Adisty were getting late in silence, this was really all a shocking reality. Nina must have felt shock and pain at the same time.

"Sir."
Marsha, Daniel's secretary, suddenly walks in, and shows the man her phone.
"It's Lea, right?" he asked, pointing to someone on the tape.
Daniel watched carefully, it was the footage where Sharon hit Nina. In the video is also Lea, who is angry with Sharon. Daniel hastily picked up the phone.
"Thank you, Marsha" he said later.
Marsha nodded and returned to her desk, as she was called by another employee who was about to ask her for help regarding work.
Daniel called his wife immediately.
"The number you're going to doesn't answer."
"Hhhh."
Daniel sighed, trying to call. Adisty and Ariana. But the two girls did not answer. Daniel had second contact, due to the affairs of the bodyguard and escort at that time.
"Richard."
Daniel visited Richard's office and entered his father-in-law's room.
"Hey Dan."
Richard, who was busy at work, greeted Daniel.
"Do you know where Lea is?"
"Sopan dikit lo kek, same in-laws. The cake man said, "Dad, I don't know where Leah is."
Ellio who at that time somehow worked from Richard's room was joking. He teased Daniel who was fretting, making Richard hold back a laugh.
"Ellio, I'm serious. Leah didn't answer my phone, just now there's a viral story about her and her friend."
Ellio and Richard looked at each other.
"What news?" ask Ellio then.
Daniel called Marsha.
"Sha, send that video to me. Now...!"
"Good sir."
Marsha immediately obeyed Daniel's orders. In an instant the video was then sent, and Daniel was shown to Richard and Ellio.
"Now he can't be contacted. Did he call you?" ask Daniel to Richard.
"Gue from earlier, my phone is here. No incoming calls or anything else I've been involved in, let alone this video" Richard said.
Daniel looks even more troubled.
"So last time he went to college, right?" ask Richard.
"Yes, that was also the case on his campus."
"Have the contact team, have you tried calling?"
"Udah but no one's up."
"Oh, we're looking for it."
Richard moved and grabbed the car keys.
"Gue's coming along" said Ellio as he looked at the two friends.
"Ellio, you stay and please help me with my work" Richard said.
"But I want to come."
Ellio's voice sounded hopeful and like asking for a meteor thrown. Suddenly Daniel and Richard remembered their childhood and adolescence. When Daniel and Richard go out together, Ellio's gonna be crashing for days. He even thought that he was not needed and was thrown out of their friendship.
"Ellio, you're old. No longer elo a dozen years ago." Daniel said.
"What you do if you're angry is unclear" Richard said.
The two friends stepped towards the door, but then somehow the two turned back to look at Ellio.
"Gue wants to come along" Ellio said like a desperate child.
Daniel and Richard were eager to lift the chair, and hit their best friend.
"Yes, the hunt...!"
Daniel and Richard said simultaneously, in a very riled up tone. While Ellio grinned wide to the ears.
"Asik invited." he said later.
