A Sugar Baby
Heart Thief
A few moments before Lea spoke to Hans.
"And."
Richard and Ellio enter Daniel's room. They intend to save their friend from Grace's cursed temptation.
It was they who cursed Grace, even though Grace did not turn to stone. But they both really, really dislike Daniel's ex-lover.
They didn't want Daniel back, but it seems the rescue effort was a little late. Grace was no longer in the room. All that was left was Daniel, the man was silent now. It was as if his heart had been hit again.
"And."
Richard broke Daniel's daydream. Instantly Daniel was surprised and only realized the presence of his two friends.
"Bro" said Daniel in a tone of voice that is not so clearly heard.
"Where's Grace?" Richard interrogated.
Daniel was surprised, because he felt he did not tell the two friends. The sudden arrival of Grace.
"Well, where did you know?" asked Daniel in wonder.
"Lea told you she said Grace was here" Ellio said.
"Lea?"
"Yes" Ellio said again.
Daniel doesn't know if Lea came and found out about Grace's presence.
"Where is he now?" ask Daniel.
"Ahead, buy another drink" said Richard.
Daniel was silent, he now had to face questions from his two friends.
"Lo told Grace to come?" ask Ellio.
"No, I don't even know. Who's the one who's been telling him and my bokap. He said office man."
Richard and Ellio sat at each other.
"Where is he going to be?" ask Ellio.
"I told you to go home" replied Daniel.
Richard and Ellio sighed again. Grace's influence must've dirtyed all of Daniel's thoughts and feelings. If not immediately shifted focus, they were worried Daniel would think more about the woman.
"Yes, I'm the same Ellio bawain lo baklava knafeh. There is also a fruit from Leah. Lo want?" ask Richard.
Daniel looked at his two best friends, then nodded. There is no reason to reject the dessert that comes from the middle eastern region, despite whatever the circumstances are being faced.
"What did you want first?" Ellio who opened the food asked Daniel.
"Knafeh." Daniel said later.
Ellio gave the food to Daniel and Daniel began to eat it.
"Lo can be nelen, right?" ask Richard.
Daniel nodded.
Shortly after, Lea came in. Daniel, Richard and Ellio turned towards the door. The three of them were shocked, as Lea came along with Hans.
"Hans." Daniel said while staring at the son of his business partner.
"Om Dan, um Ellio, Richard."
Hans smiled at the three. Daniel, Ellio and Richard smiled back. They don't know if Lea brought the young man. They only thought Lea and Hans were entering at the same time, just by chance. Maybe they accidentally arrived together.
They also suspect that Hans knew of Daniel's situation, from his father. Because usually the father knows the state of Daniel from the WhatsApp group office.
"Om Dan, papa said he was coming. But it can't be today, so he told me to squirm." said Hans.
This was true, because Hans had told his father that Daniel was in the hospital.
"Tell me to your papa, o'm fine." Daniel said.
Hans nodded, they then spoke for a moment. Until then, Hans felt his visit was enough. Daniel must rest.
"Thank you, greetings to your dad." Daniel said again.
"Together, oh yes, Ellio."
Hans looked at Ellio, and vice versa.
"Can I watch Lea?"
The question made Ellio, Daniel and Richard flinch. Ellio took a quick glance at Daniel. While Lea seemed to wait for permission from her parents.
"So outside we had a chance to talk. Lea wants to, but she has to get permission first" she said."
"You guys, did you meet outside?" ask Daniel to Hans.
"Yes, we've been talking in front for a long time" Hans replied. Now it's moving on to Ellio.
"Can you, Ellio?"
Ellio fell silent, this is really a misunderstanding. Hans really thought that Lea was his niece, ever since Sam's wedding party.
Ellio glanced at Daniel. The man blinked his eyes, a sign of permission. I don't know why his heart is burning. He had no feelings for Leah. Just like the first time, he saw Hans with Lea at Sam's party.
"Ok can, but don't go home too late" said Ellio.
Hans and Lea sumringah. Daniel sighed and threw his gaze in another direction.
"Yes, we go first" Hans said, staring at the three men alternately. He and Leah are now moving towards the door.
"Hans."
Richard stopped Hans and Lea.
"Yes, um."
"Jaga Lea." said the man later.
"Yes, um." Hans smiled, then turned back. Lea looks so happy.
Although his face looks ruffled, but Daniel was relieved. Because Richard had already represented himself, in saying what he was about to say. He feels the prestige of asking Hans to take care of Lea. He does not want his two friends, making it as a material plumbing later.
Hans and Lea disappeared behind the door, while Daniel now sighed. Richard and Ellio catch a strange gurgle from their best friend.
"Lo jealous, bro?" ask Ellio while smiling. Richard was smiling and looking at Daniel.
"I'm jealous, I don't have feelings."
Daniel continued to eat, but like a man who only tried to divert his irritation. Richard and Ellio were smiling at each other.

"Oh yes, Hans. How old are you?" Lea asked when Hans' car had walked far enough away from the hospital.
"16 in 17."
"Huh?" Lea was shocked to look at the young man, she was completely unexpected at what she had just heard.
"I thought you were in college."
"I look old, huh?" ask Hans.
"It's not old what it is, but it looks like it's been 19 or 20 years. Maybe because you're high times huh, keep athletic as well."
Hans laughed, Lea still looked at the young man with an incredulous look. It was only fitting that both Daniel, Ellio and Richard, still treated the young man like a child. They always spoke in a soft tone and looked into the child's eyes while interacting. Like the treatment of parents to children, not like friends to their own friends. Hans is still under age.
"Oh yeah Lea, what movie will you watch?" hans asked, looking over for a moment.
"Hmm, don't know. I don't know what the new movie is." replied Lea.
"Yes, look there. What is it."
"Yes." replied Lea.
They also went to a mall, and visited the cinema on the top floor of the mall. Hans and Lea quickly melted down, like the two who had been friends for a long time. Even their behavior now looks like people who are dating, very close to each other.
They buy food and drinks on the sidelines waiting for the airtime. They both laughed at the things they were talking about. Without Lea realizing, that in the cinema. There are Rangga and Sharon, who are also waiting for the airing hours of a film.
