A Sugar Baby
Lea Returns to Disappear
"Eat a lot, Le. Your face is so pale."
Vita said while putting a box of pregnant milk ready to drink in front of Lea who was eating.
"Yes Vit, this also abis must be added me. Laper is so."
"I said eat first, you're still there" Iqbal said.
"I don't feel good, Bal. Nyokapnya Rangga is still crying that, when I live."
"There was me, Iqbal and Hans, Le."
Vita glanced at the two young men before her. Lea looked at Hans and Hans silently. He and Iqbal were eating, just like Lea and Vita.
"Yes, I'm not feeling well, I guess how it went" Lea said.
"Yes, this is eating a lot of trees. Kasian lo child." said Vita again.
Meanwhile in the other corner, Daniel was so busy taking care of work. He got a call from Grace. The ex-girlfriend asked for this and that advice. Of course Daniel responded well.
Another time he accompanied Grace to check on Danisha's progress. He only met Lea once in a while, at the dinner table. That was limited by time, because Lea had to go to campus and she had to work.
Lea herself did not bother, because at this time she was also busy taking care of her troublesome college duties. He also continues to think about and monitor the development of Rangga.
Suddenly a notification appeared on Daniel's phone, if Lea had to undergo routine checks today. Daniel, who had been busy taking care of this and that, was now thinking of Leah.
He also realized how abiding he had been over the past few days towards the woman. Daniel called Lea's number right away.
"The number you're going to doesn't answer."
Lea seemed to be busy, Daniel tried once more and the answer he received remained the same.
"Sha, Marsha." Daniel calls his secretary Marsha.
"Yes sir." answered Marsha.
"You take care of this first, dong." Daniel handed me a file.
"I'm going to the hospital for a second, I'm going to go to Lea's hospital."
"Good sir."
Marsha receives the file and returns to her desk. Daniel grabs the car keys and leaves the office. He intended to visit the hospital, where Lea used to check the contents.
He thought at this moment that Lea might have been there. Instead of being busy calling by phone, he better catch up soon.
Arriving at the place, Daniel did not find Leah at all. Even the waiting room part of the doctor in question seemed quiet. A nurse came out and Daniel approached her.
"The sus."
"Eh sir Daniel."
The nurse recognized Daniel, because he often accompanied Lea to check the womb.
"Did you see my wife isn't here?" ask Daniel.
"Mother Lea, there was. About half an hour ago."
"Half an hour ago?"
"Yes, there's a schedule change and it's kind of accelerated. Didn't Leah's mom tell Daniel?"
"Mmm, no." said Daniel.
"Because I was also in the office and Lea went to college early in the morning" he continued.
"Oh, it's all done sir. And maybe Leah's mom's home, too."
"Well, if so, thank you."
"Together Sir."
The sister passed, Daniel then walked out and headed for the parking lot.
"The number you're going to, don't answer."
Daniel called Lea again and again the answer he received was the same.
"Where's Le?" ask Daniel via a short message on WhatsApp.
But the message is not read, just tick two. Daniel is now worried whether Lea is angry with him. Lately he's been taking care of Grace. Daniel begins to fret, the man then contacts Adisty.
"Yes Daniel, why me?"
"Anything with Lea?" ask Daniel.
"No mas, it was like he was the same Vita, same Iqbal deh." replied Adisty.
"Oh that?"
"Yes, I've seen these few days they're always together."
"Oh yes if so, thank you Dis."
"Yes, you're the same."
Daniel also remembered that if Lea everywhere was always escorted by a driver, then he also contacted the driver. To find out where Lea is now.
"Hallo sir."
"Yes, Mr. Daniel, what's wrong, sir."
"Where's Leah's mother, sir?" ask Daniel to the driver.
"Mother Lea has not been delivered with me for two days. Last time he went to the hospital, sir, he said he had a friend in an accident."
"Who is Leah's mother?. And whose accident was it?. Where's the hospital."
"Mother Leah went with Iqbal and Vita. The accident he said if not wrong yes, his name is mas Rangga."
"The ladder?"
Daniel asks while remembering, if Rangga is a former Lea.
"Where's the hospital, sir?" ask Daniel again.
The driver then told Daniel, where Rangga is now being treated.
"Okay sir, thank you sir. Next time if you don't want to be sent anywhere, or he says he wants to be with his friend. Please tell me yes, because I don't know about this." Daniel said again.
"Oh yes, ready sir. I think Miss Leah told you."
"No sir."
"Fine sir, next time I'll call."
"Well, thank you sir." Daniel said.
"Together Mr. Daniel."
Daniel stopped the phone call. The man now rushed over, visited the intended hospital.
Arriving there Daniel wondered where Rangga was treated. But he and the information officer were a bit confused. Because there are two Rangga who became patients in the hospital.
"The victim of the accident, sus." Daniel told the nurse in the information section.
Shortly Daniel was told, if Rangga is currently still undergoing intensive care in the ICU room. After thanking him for the information received, Daniel rushed to the ICU.
And there, Lea was seen sitting beside Rangga. Leah did not see Daniel, the man only saw through the glass.
"Mas."
Suddenly Vita approached.
"Where is Rangga?" ask Daniel to Vita.
At first Vita had suspected that Daniel would be angry, seeing his wife was with his ex.
"Coma bed, mas. The doctor said he didn't know when to return."
Daniel was surprised to hear all that, but he tried to act ordinary.
"Did Lea say anything about us?" ask Daniel.
"Mmm, there's no mas. Why anyway?. You guys quarreling?" Vita asked back.
Daniel shook his head. He thought, in case Lea complained about Daniel's attitude of paying too much attention to Grace lately. But it doesn't seem so.
But even so, Daniel is very confident that Lea is harboring disappointment against him. Daniel also regretted, why lately he spent more time for Grace. And he was too late to realize that. Until now Lea was more focused on men from his past than Daniel himself.
