A Sugar Baby
A Warm Heart
That morning Leah woke up first, she found Daniel who was still fast asleep by her side. Lea was silent, watching the man's face for a moment. Slowly his hands moved, touching Daniel's face and stroking his head.
For some reason, Lea felt so dear to Daniel. Maybe because of the man's attitude lately, which more often shows his gentle side.
Lea, who never grew up with her father, felt Daniel was the place. A place to come back and hide from everything that's going on out there.
"Om, wake up."
Leah woke Daniel up a few minutes later. When he had finished making breakfast for the two of them.
"Of."
"Hm." Daniel moved and opened his eyes slowly.
"Wake up in the morning" Lea said.
Daniel took a breath and woke up, but he was still leaning against the pillow. He wanted to collect his life first.
"How are you?. That okay?" Daniel asked Lea, the girl nodded.
"But I don't want to go to school yet" he later said.
"You want to move out of there?" daniel asked again, Leah shook her head.
"Udah nanggung, um. It's second semester, too, and graduation's mepet."
Daniel nodded.
"Yes, if you don't want to go to school today is also okay. I'll have my confidants accompany you, if you're ready."
Lea nodded, Daniel moved. He then went upstairs and took a shower. A long time after he came down, Lea then took the man for breakfast.
"Here are you making?" daniel asked Leah when they were at the table.
Lea nodded, Daniel smiled at him. Shortly after that, they ate together. After eating Daniel took his briefcase and said goodbye to Leah.
"I go first, don't macem."
Daniel kissed Lea on the forehead, she closed her eyes and looked back at Daniel.
"Can't I see my friends?" Lea asked Daniel, as the man was approaching the elevator.
"Who?"
"Vita is Nina."
"Ok, but don't go anywhere. If you want to go, at least tell me. Call or WhatsApp and don't go home."
Lea nodded, then Daniel got into the elevator.

"It's terrible" said Vita, when she and Nina had reached Daniel's residence and had listened to all of Leah's stories.
"Try lo school in our school" he continued.
"Yes, Le. My school is the same Vita, regular school. But her kids aren't tacky." - Nina.
"Not like to interfere in people's personal affairs, and rarely do collisions." Next later.
"No bribe either, Vit." Again Nina chimed.
"All are treated equally. Want you rich kid cake, not cake, same at my school mah." continued Vita.
"Lo's school is elite, but the behavior of students and teachers kayak comes from a barbarian island" said Nina.
Lea sighed, everything her friend said was true.
"If this incident fits me in 1st grade, I've moved from the past time" said Lea.
"But unfortunately now I'm third grade, second semester again. I couldn't move either." he continued later.
"Yes anyway you prisoners first, until kelar. If there is nothing you live ngadu, om lo good this." said Nina, while in this part Vita silent. Suddenly he felt if he was not as lucky as Lea, how nice to get a sugar daddy like Daniel.
Well, understanding, gentleman, brave and certainly not selfish. Unlike his sugar daddy who just acts sweet at the beginning. The longer the more visible, if it only uses Vita for sexual satisfaction alone.

"Every life path we choose, there are risks. We are responsible for what we choose."
An old woman was talking to a young man. The young man was his grandson who happened to have just returned home from college, and took the time to stop by.
"What do you think Arsen did this wrong?"
Arsenio asked the grandmother.
"You think to yourself?"
"Arsen only wants those who have been victims of violence, can get their lives again nek." said Arsenia while eating her food.
"Now Grandma heard her participation increase. Not just from ex-wives but also former mistresses, is that true?"
"Yes Grandma, because it turns out that woman is not where she is. There must always be a victim of violence, Lily Temen Arsen who initially got information about them. Keep Arsen the same others try to approach, to pry the information further. There are also community members who have written books about violence against women.
"Grandmother is proud of you, but always remember your grandmother's message. To release someone from the snare of violence, it must be supported by all aspects. Yes, suppose telling mistresses who are victims of violence not to be on the road anymore, yes you have to find an alternative life for them."
The grandmother drank water, then continued.
"How in the future they can live on another path. Do not just give advice, advice, and talk about sin alone in front of them. Advice, counsel, and sin will lose money. People are willing to sin for money."
Arsen laughs.
"Yes, our community is in addition to teaching skills. There are also those who find work, re-school some of them. And there's so much more that we've done. The women victims of violence are now many who already have their own business, which starts from nothing to how big it can be. Some have a successful YouTube channel account, so the paid selebgram is fantastic. There are also those who work in offices, some who even get scholarships abroad and school there while working and others. Yes, although there are still many who are in the process at this time."
Grandma Arsen sighed.
"May our children or our families be kept away from violence, especially women" she said.
"Yes, grandma. Enough Ariska used to be."
Arsen's eyes were thrown into a corner. Ariska is her older sister who is also a victim of domestic violence.
Though their late mother had asked Arsen to look after Ariska, but Ariska then fell in love with the wrong man and married. After finding her husband cheating on her, Ariska, who was pregnant, was kicked and beaten by her husband.
As a result, the baby he was carrying was not helped. Worse yet Ariska's uterus must be removed, because his condition is severely damaged. Although the husband was finally in prison, but now Ariska lives like not alive. It was as if she died with her baby.
Arsen lost his brother, though his brother's body still exists. And still in a mental hospital, that's why Arsen did all this. He does not want to hear of all forms of violence against women anymore.
