A Sugar Baby
Well Caught
"Sha, it's not what you imagined."
Ellio tried to defend himself, when the car he was driving began to run. Marsha is still silent. It was obvious that he was so disappointed in Ellio.
"Sha, I don't have a sugar baby" she explained.
Marsha is still faithful in silence. The woman's eyes were thrown forward, but there was no warmth there. It was very different from when they left. At that moment everything was beautiful and full of laughter.
"Trust me, Sha. I'm not like that. On that night the jutsru who got sugar baby was even Daniel."
"But that means you go there, right?"
Ellio fell silent and tried to take a deep breath. He still tries to drive well.
"Yes, but I really don't have a sugar baby."
"Why did you have to lie to them?. Why not be honest. You want to deny that you're coming?"
"It's not that problem, Sha. The agency is currently in trouble. The sugar babies they provide, are subjected to various forms of violence by the sugar daddy who nourishes them. As a result they report and the case is still being investigated, including the people who came to be involved."
Ellio tried to explain at length, but Marsha's face remained cold.
"Sha, please."
Marsha turned to the side of the road, Ellio felt that there was no point in talking so much at a time like this. Marsha cannot think clearly. All that was in her heart were negative thoughts and it was hard for Ellio to erase them.
Ellio then escorted Marsha to his residence. The woman still said nothing when she got out of Ellio's car, not even saying goodbye. Ellio just let it happen, because he himself confused how to.

"Lo why?"
Richard asked Ellio, when his best friend came. He and Daniel make an appointment at Richard's house.
"You're like losing your gamble." so hello Daniel.
Ellio still looks tangled. Usually, when he talks like that, he laughs. But this time it's not so. It was as if there was a heavy burden pressing down on him.
"Why the hell lo?" ask Richard again.
"Marsha is angry with me." she replied later.
"Why angry?" ask Daniel in curiosity.
"For journalists alike admin this lambe-lambean account. I'm the same Marsha again way, suddenly in samper. Keep them asking about me ever did not use the services of SB Agency to find sugar baby. Marsha's mad at me, she thinks I now have a sugar baby."
"But you're clear?" ask Richard.
"Udah, but still he does not want to be horrified. It's free, it's negative just his view on me."
"I told you so." Daniel said later.
Ellio sighed, then picked up a cigarette and lit it.

Tomorrow at the college.
"Where is Ariana?"
Lea asked Adisty who was just out of class.
"Did you rush home, didn't you see him through here?" Adisty asked back.
"Somewhat." replied Lea.
"Busy mulu mulu tuh son same photography and new gebetan."
"Who is he really doing?" ask Lea.
"No idea, Le. Ariana has never played secret like this before. But now he's hiding something from me."
"It's not ready for the times he's known." said Lea.
Adisty said with a laugh, and finally Lea followed along.
"Yes, it could be" he replied later.
That afternoon Lea was alone with Adisty. Iqbal and the others are not sure where. After the class, they all instantly disappeared like having a Doraemon door.
"Eh Le, I buy lipstick, foundation and others yuk...!"
Adisty asked Lea when it was starting in the afternoon and there were no more classes to follow.
"Makeup lo on abis?"
"Yes, tired of lo but?" Adisty asked back.
"No koq, I was driven by a driver. Yes come on, where are you going?. Mall or what?"
"Mmm, the mall is like a fun deh." said Adisty then smiled.
"Yes, oh...!" bring Lea.
Before long both were seen leaving the campus, with ushered by Lea driver. The two women visited a mall in which there was a large counter. The counter sells local and imported skincare and makeup, under various well-known brands.
Of course Lea will not feel tired, even though she is pregnant. Because what is presented by the counter is the things that attract his attention.
"Try there is Ariana yes, surely he was at this place" said Adisty.
"Ntar sometime we take him." said Lea.
The two women continued to sort out.
"I want to buy everything, Le." said Adisty.
"Sama, I too." replied Lea.
"If I had a rich man like elo. I moved this place into my house."
"Haha." Lea laughs.
"Sama mbak-mbaknya also moved ya say." said Lea.
"Ember." answered Adisty.
After they get everything, they pay. Lea pays for Adisty's groceries, though Adisty actually refuses.
"Ih lu mah, I don't feel good. I don't want to ask for payin, Le. Make me doang, let not bete."
"Udah aja lo storm. I want to pay for it because it's the same with me, no problem. The cave doesn't think macem-macem koq about lo."
"But next time I'll buy it, Le. I don't feel good about you."
"It's easy." Lea replied.
Soon they came out of the counter. Both are now seen walking in the food court area, because Lea who is pregnant is hit by hunger. Let alone Lea, Adisty who is not pregnant just feel her stomach has begun to rumble.
"What's Le eating?" adisty asked Leah.
"Fuel my chicken." Lea replied later.
"Yes at the end there is no" said Adisty.
The two women then walked in the direction they were going. Suddenly Lea and Adisty's eyes caught something similar.
"Le, that's Ariana" Adisty said in a shocked tone.
"That's your ex, that Hans-Hans guy." he said again.
Lea was silent, watching the two people closely. Ariana and Hans seemed to join hands in a friendly manner. They're down the escalator. Lea and Adisty followed behind, and somehow Ariana suddenly turned her head. Then he meets face to face with Lea and Adisty who are still on the food court floor.
Ariana was surprised, but she arrived downstairs. Lea and Adisty returned to their original destination, which was to visit a seller who peddled grilled chicken.
Ariana is now walking with Hans, with a racing heart. He does not know how Lea and Adisty will respond, about her being seen with Lea's ex-lover.
