A Sugar Baby
Self Confidence That Declines
Daniel stares himself in front of the rearview mirror of his car, which is still dirty due to the seblak that was thrown by Lea.
"Why do you, ngaca mulu?" asked Richard who suddenly appeared with Elio.
"Is my face not panting, use this car?" ask her later. Richard and Ellio frowned.
"According to both of you, I'm still handsome?" continued again.
Richard and Ellio were astonished.
"Since when has your confidence plummeted?" ask Richard to Daniel. While Ellio held back a laugh.
"That high school boy, he said my face didn't pant into this car."
"Hgm." Richard held back a laugh, while Ellio had chuckled where he stood.
"The girl you slapped last night?" ask Ellio.
"Yes, I met that same bastard again. And he threw my car with junk food."
"Huh?"
Richard and Ellio frowned again. They came up from the back of the car and didn't see what was going on.
Daniel then pointed them to the front. Both friends were surprised to see the chicken claw, dumpling, noodles, even wet crackers stuck in the wipers. There are also traces of broth and mixed eggs there.
"Hmph, haha."
"Haha."
Both of his friends laughed without mercy.
"Well, ew." said Ellio as if disgusted.
"What is this food?" ellio said again.
"Gue doesn't know." said Richard pretending, even though he was remembering the events of a few days ago. When the sugar baby eats the food.
"What do you eat, koq no chicken legs so?" richard asked his sugar baby at the time.
"It's seblak, dad. Daddy never eats?" ask the sugar baby. Richard shook his head while staring at the food, with mixed feelings.
"There are, yes, who sell." said Ellio again.
Richard woke up from his daydream and refocused on Daniel, without giving any response to Ellio's words just now.
"Sobri."
Daniel yells at someone, shortly after, a man dressed as an office boy appears.
"Yes, sir?" ask the young man named Sobri to her.
"You take this car to the car wash ahead" he said, handing over the keys.
"Washed, sir?"
"No, sold." said Daniel in an annoyed tone, Sobri also grinned.
Daniel walks into the office, followed by Richard and Ellio. Sobri is now taking the car to the car wash.

"Hi, mam." Rangga greeted his mother on a pretty sunny morning.
"Hi."
His mother, who was eating at a long table like the royal dinner table, smiled faintly at her son. Rangga pulled out a chair and sat down in front of his mother.
"Rangga, what do you think Sharon is?"
His mother suddenly raised a strange question in Rangga's ear.
"Sharon?." Rangga asked back.
"Yes, papa's friend's son."
"The same class as me, right?" ask Rangga again.
"Yes, which one else tried?"
"What's the matter, Mi?"
"Hmm, yeah. Rangga seneng just chatted with him, it was Rangga temen."
"Why not go out anyway?" Her mother asked a question that made Rangga speechless.
"Pa, dating?" ask her later.
"Yes, my mom likes him. Cute, beautiful, smart, able to speak many foreign languages. His parents are the same level as us."
"Ta, but Mi. Rangga, I have a girlfriend now."
Rangga said with a hesitant tone. Rangga's mother was surprised to hear his son's statement.
"Oh yeah?" ask him in disbelief.
"Yes Rangga school, Mi."
His mother was silent for a moment.
"Oh yeah, take ya to mami's birthday."
"Can you, Mi?" ask Rangga sumringah.
"Yes dong, time can not." said his mother later.
"Your mother's year is three days away, you take her. We'll have dinner first, party tomorrow."
Rangga finished his breakfast and hurried over.
"Yes, ntar Rangga told him yes Mi."
Rangga moved and kissed the mother's cheek, her mother smiled.
"Oh, whose name is your boyfriend?" ask her mother again.
"Lea, Mi."
"Ok, greetings to Leah."
"Ok, Mi."
Rangga walked towards the door. Shortly before coming out, he grabbed his bag that was in the living room chair. While her mother smiled, the woman thought it was okay for Rangga to date anyone. Because at Rangga school, all of them are rich children. At least their father had a business and was not a member of the commoners.
Rangga's mother does not know, if the last two years. The school where his son studied, had changed their rules a little. Namely they accept students who come from any class, as long as the students excel.
Because for years, the school only concentrated on receiving rich children. But they do not have enough competitiveness in terms of lessons.
The students only put their style and appearance first. There are only a few who excel, and even that is not too prominent. Until the reputation of the school is still far below other public schools, in terms of producing outstanding students and the best graduates.

"Lea, my mom said. You're invited to my family's dinner in three days."
Rangga said to Lea when he had picked up the girl. They were on the bike, heading to school.
"What did you say to your mom?" lea asked curiously, she was a little surprised to hear Rangga's statement just now.
"Say, if you're my girlfriend"
"Se, seriously?" lea asked in disbelief. Now he's getting nervous. Because he had never once dated, especially until introduced to the parents of men.
"Yes, I'm serious. Mami wants to see you." said Rangga.
"Emang, is that okay?" ask Lea again.
"It's okay, why?"
"Yes, I'm scared. Never been the case, invited to play to the house of a man." said Lea.
"Yes, this is you I am ajakin. Want huh?" ask Rangga again.
"O, ok." said Lea hesitantly.
Rangga smiled and pressed his motor gas even more. A few moments later they arrived at school. When he turned his bike towards the gate, Daniel who was passing by accidentally looked towards the two of them.
"Oh, so here's the little cockroach school." murmured Daniel.
While inside, Lea entered with Rangga with all eyes on them. Since the two are officially dating, almost every day the incident is always the same. Every time he entered the school gate, all eyes immediately turned their heads and watched them. It was as if they were a celebrity couple who were eagerly awaited by his presence.
