I Love You My Sugar Daddy
Marriage orders

Two years already living as a widower, the figure of a man named Rafael Zafran, aged 30 years with a beautiful face, is now sitting in the reading room.

He was now staring at an old photo that he never tired of looking at and quietly kept neatly in his wallet.

Portrait of her sir's wedding to Aeleasha Charlotte, the only wedding photo that can never be thrown away.

Although he himself realized that only bitter memories were felt by him, but could not throw them away.

The photos are the only memories of their series of weddings, weddings without celebration, without frenzy and the most painful is a loveless marriage.

Rafael Zafran is a flawless looking man. Presence as calm as a drop of dew in the morning, a wise thinker, and an angelic heart. She never felt perfect because her love for Aeleasha was never enough.

For Aeleasha, she may be the angel who transformed into a human who came to help her get back to a good life, as well as cover up the pregnancy by marrying the poor woman.

However, Raphael never really became like an angel and he never really became a husband to Aeleasha.

Rafael is caught up in that bond. He is trapped in one-sided love and does not know how to break the knot.

Even after two years passed, when releasing his woman into the arms of another man, he was still bleeding himself because he had to bother again to release his feelings.

He was really very hurt and could not forget the figure of the woman he adored so much. Even though he knew that Aeleasha did not take a single glance at him.

However, for some reason it felt like gulping down poison that became opium.

Opium. Missing Rafael's ex-wife is an opium.

It is true that he is a man who is famous for being wise by removing Aeleasha for his happiness. However, in love, one may not be wise to oneself.

Her heart refuses to forget or stop loving Aeleasha.

His heart refused not to miss his ex-wife. His heart refused to accept any woman other than Aeleasha.

People say falling in love is like entering a labyrinth. It doesn't matter how to start and it doesn't know how to end. He's really stuck.

The man breathed heavily. His eyes closed for a moment. At first glance, his eye bags darkened due to lack of sleep and fatigue. All because all this time, he busied himself with work in order to forget his sadness.

Although he was aware that all of it was completely useless because his love for his ex-wife remained imprinted in his heart.

Now, Rafael looks sip black coffee that he put in the corner of his desk. Coffee and morning, a suitable blend to participate swallow the bitterness in his heart on this day.

Sipping on him a little, he realized one thing. It was bitter, but he couldn't stop.

The sound of a door knob opening momentarily stopped his activity. Rafael put his coffee cup back into the corner of the table.

A middle-aged woman stood by the side of the door with a tray filled with sandwiches and a glass of milk looking at her with a warm smile.

"Good morning, my son," he said with an ever-expanding smile.

Rafael returned the smile of a woman who was very dear and respected.

"Good morning, Ma. Did Mama sleep well last night?"

The woman approached, putting breakfast on the table. "Mama should have asked. Did you sleep well last night? Your eyes look sleepless."

"Morning is coffee. Ye know? The content in coffee is not good for the stomach, especially when drunk when the stomach is empty like this."

The woman took Rafael's remaining coffee by another quarter. "At least if you want to drink coffee, you have to have breakfast first," said a middle-aged woman named Tiana Aiza who is 50 years old who does not want her son's health to be disrupted due to bad habits.

Raphael, who heard the advice of his mother, only smiled broadly at him. "It looks like I'm the luckiest kid in the world, yeah. At least, there's Mama who's always worried about me."

Tiana Aiza was a middle-aged woman who was soft-hearted like a fairy. From whom else would a good male gene be like Rafael if not from him, as well as the loving environment he created.

The woman always took good care of Rafael from childhood, even without her deceased father. He has always been the one who has worried about Rafael the most and has been the one who understands his condition the most.

The woman's heart momentarily throbbed with pain at the wide smile, as well as the light joke her son made because he knew the smile was completely fake.

His son was just trying to look fine in front of him, as if nothing had happened. He knows that Rafael is not okay after Aeleasha leaves their lives.

Tiana exhaled for a moment. "Rafael, are you tired of taking care of company matters?"

"Why did Mom suddenly ask like that? I'm not tired at all. I'm happy because I can give you whatever you want. Just tell me what you want."

It does. They both lived in poverty long ago. Tiana has always worked hard to support Rafael alone since her son was a child.

When Rafael grows up, the man is desperate to change their fate. She wanted her mother to stop her distress and make her happy. At first, they lived in simplicity. However, now things are turning 180 degrees.

Rafael is now the CEO of a subsidiary owned by Arsenio— the man who is now Aeleasha's husband in return for having been keeping for three years.

In fact, he was offended at first. Whether given a company, or given power, the things that Arsenio offered could not be compared with his sincerity.

However, for several reasons, including for Aeleasha's happiness, she had to accept the offer. One reason is her mother. In addition, it was also because he wanted to make peace with his feelings.

However, Tiana knew, that Rafael was still unable to come to terms with his feelings. He doesn't need expensive things to make him happy.

He does not need plots of land and luxury homes to make him calm. He just wants to see his son happy with the woman he loves and loves him.

He wanted his son to have a new life. That was her dream as a mother.

Creating a new family and sharing the same warmth he created for Rafael. Tiana just wants to make sure that at least her son has a happy life when he gets older.

Tiana looked at him seriously. He sat in a chair at his son's desk. "Raphelle. Listen to me seriously this time."

Rafael immediately stopped the activity. The bread was only one small piece left.

However, he had a premonition that the bread would not be able to spend. The atmosphere is too serious now. He dared to look at his mother's unusual serious face.

"Do you really think that all these luxuries are what Mama wants? Are we really happy with everything we've got?"

Something that begins with a question. However, it has no definite answer. Raphael's brain was suddenly empty.

"Maybe you think with all this, you're gonna stop working so hard and slam your bones. Maybe you're right. But for what? Why have everything if you're not happy?"

"You know what makes Mama happy? What does Mama want? Mama just wants to see you happy. No less and no more." The woman looked at Rafael gently, grabbing his son's hand to hold for a moment.

"You still love Aeleasha, don't you?"

Rafael's pupils widened momentarily. He thought he had been hiding well all this time. However, he was amazed how the mother knew so much about her feelings. Rafael this time can only smile.

"If it is or is not, it means nothing now. Mama doesn't have to worry about that."

"No need? How can it be 'unnecessary' for me? You always push yourself to work too hard every day, looking at your wedding photos every time you're on your own."

"You also always close your heart to the girls out there who want to get close to you. To what extent else do you pretend you don't know and just let it go?"

"I understand, Ma, but trust me. Everything's gonna be fine. Mama don't think about things like this." Rafael forced his smile, gently rubbing the back of his mother's hand.

"Until when, Rafael? How long will you live like that? It's been two years. How long until you forget Aeleasha? She is now a wife of people. Why do you still have feelings for a woman who doesn't love you?"

Rafael fell silent. Afraid of being mispronounced and having no intention of answering anything at all.

Seeing her son being silent like that, Tiana sighed with a huff.

Doubtful to say it or not, but he decided to make things clear. "Mama wants you to get married and forget about that woman."

Rafael jerks. Like being slapped early in the morning because he couldn't believe what his mother had just said.

However, the sharp gaze of the woman he loved so dearly implied a real firmness. Final and as if it can't be bothered.

Rafael neutralizes his breath and tries to be as calm as possible. Then opened my mouth to respond.

"Ma, getting married is not rushed and I have no interest in marrying any woman."

He spoke cautiously, but it seemed futile to see his mother's expression seeming more straight and spoke in a stern tone.

"Mama was very serious about that. Think carefully!"

The woman then stood with the tray, and a quarter of the coffee was cold and took it out leaving Rafael in a room that increasingly made his mind not careless.
