A Sugar Baby
Meet
"Why else?"
Richard asked Leah, when Lea again invited her father to meet today suddenly.
"Mas Daniel, but I promise you won't be angry. Uh, I've been snooping around because I asked him to see his mother. I just want him not to be a bad boy, yeah."
Richard sighed, while still concentrating on driving the car.
"You don't know Daniel. The person is so hard, ntar is also self-conscious. It's only if he's angry again." said Richard.
Lea sighed this time.
"On the baper-baper really old man. Age factor is yes?"
Richard was out this time.
"Father older than Daniel" he said later.
"Oh yeah forgot yeah, sorry."
Leah was afraid to hit her father with a wooden block, because she had told him old Daniel. That means including Richard himself who was the same age as Daniel, even a little older.

"Le."
Daniel knocked on Lea's door at 9 p.m. At that time Lea was working on campus. Daniel had actually been home since this afternoon, but only that night he called Lea.
"What mas?"
Leah opened the door and told Daniel.
"Koq you didn't look at it from earlier?. I have not eaten, nor have I. I'm going upstairs, not."
"Mas was cuekin me this morning. Keep saying dad, Daniel was just dyed if that's the case. Yeah, I'm staying with errands, watching drakor, ordering food."
"What food order are you?"
Daniel looked into Leah's room. There is plenty of food there, some of which have just arrived.
"Keep you didn't invite me to eat that?" Daniel sewot and keki.
"Yes, I said father. Dad said diemin, yes I'm diemin. It worked."
Leah grinned sinlessly before her husband while Daniel's head was smoky. Daniel sighed, trying to put an annoyed face on Lea. But the next moment he moved suddenly and quickly. The man picked up some packs of Lea's food and ran outside.
"Eh mas, it's mine." said Lea sewot.
Daniel ran to the elevator and entered, a moment later he stuck his tongue out at Lea.
"Weeek."
Daniel went upstairs and opened the food he had stolen. Lea just sighed and laughed.
"Basar bocil old." he said then returned to the room.

Tomorrow after work.
"There...!"
Richard and Ellio urge Daniel, who is staring at a table in the restaurant. He forced Richard and Ellio to meet his mother there.
"And." Ellio called out the name of his best friend once again.
Daniel took a deep breath and met the woman. He appeared and immediately sat in front of the mother, with a face that was quite upright but cold.
"A, how are you?"
His mother said even with a slightly stammered voice.
"looks?" Daniel asked in a tone that was not so pleasant to hear. The mother lowered her face slightly, then tried to look back at Daniel.
"Mama misses you, Dan." she said later.
Daniel silent. The mother said easily, as if she had no idea how hurt Daniel had been.
"I'm used to being alone, I'm used to taking care of myself when I'm sick. I'm used to overcoming my own fears, when I have nightmares. I am used to not relying on two people who call themselves parents, but neglecting responsibility. I grew up on my own, have you ever thought of me. Or at least trying to find out about me?"
Daniel's voice was heard rising, until some people sitting at the table around him heard this.
Richard himself felt like he wanted to get closer and be a mediator between them. But Ellio held him back to stay in place.
"Now you've seen me, right?. I hope you are satisfied."
Daniel leaves his mother, without giving the woman a chance to defend herself.
Daniel got out of the restaurant and got into the car. Richard catches up with Daniel, while Ellio approaches Daniel's mother and tries to calm her down.
Daniel was driving at high speed, followed by Richard from behind. The man stopped somewhere and cried. She cried like the first time her mother left home.
Richard himself stopped far behind Daniel's car, and watched and watched in case Daniel did anything.
After Daniel's cry subsided a little, the man got a call from Richard. But he did not know if Richard's car was far behind his car.
"Yes, bro."
Daniel answered in a tone that seemed like nothing had happened. He tried hard to hide the sadness he was feeling.
"Follow me, to the usual place." Richard said later.
Soon Daniel immediately restarted the car's engine, and then the gas left the place.
***
Day went by night, the music that was playing slowly shook the tempest. Daniel sat quietly in front of Richard, then downed the glass of alcohol in front of him.
"No."
He put the glass to the table, and Richard poured it back from the bottle. Daniel drank again and again. While Richard was in a conscious position, because he had to look after Daniel.
While at Daniel's mother's house. Ellio escorted the woman, and she was greeted by two young men. Even younger than Ellio.
The two young men spoke in Turkish to Daniel's mother. It seems that it was Daniel's brother but a different father. Ellio did not understand what they were saying, but one of them seemed to ask where their mother was from. They were also staring at Ellio.
"Ellio, this is Hatice with Kuzey, Daniel's sister. They asked if you were their brother, Daniel."
Ellio looked at the two people and tried to smile. She smiled back at Ellio.
"Keep, what did mama say to them?"
"Mama says Daniel can't come anymore, because he's taking care of his pregnant wife."
Ellio's heart was jolted, between the heartless and sad that he felt. But he could not blame Daniel's attitude on his mother.
For Daniel also endured his pain all this time. He grew up without a mother, and Edmund's father died for him. It is only natural that Daniel harbored such great anger.
He lost it all at an age even as a teenager. Due to the selfishness of his parents, he has many bad memories about his past.
Now Daniel just wants to calm down, and hope that everything he faces today never happens.
