SUGAR BROTHERS
R
Raindrops fell, pouring down the glass windows until they ended up falling down. The cold rainy atmosphere seemed to support the bad mood of someone who was sitting pensively looking at the window, staring at the falling raindrops. Milla Musafia, the woman closed her eyes, suddenly the tears that had been collecting in her eyes fell to her cheeks. Milla loved without making a sound, if she made a sound, the sound would definitely vary the sleep of her son, the son she loved so much, the son who is the only reason why she has survived and struggled to this day. Milla opened her eyelids, looked up at the cloudy sky, Milla remembered her past, in her heart she wished, if only Milla had not chosen that path, Milla said, everything would not have turned out like this.

* February 2, 2011 Milla packed her belongings, it's 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it's time to go home after working since morning. Milla is just a factory employee, a factory employee who she thinks is pretty good as a job compared to being unmovable and ends up having no money to eat. "Mill, are you going home? Do you want to come home with me?" asked Adimas, who happened to be passing by, and was about to go home to his house which was not from Milla's rented house. "Oh you can, Mas." Milla is indeed close to Adimas, Milla and Adimas have been friends since they were children, they are playmates. So that Milla did not feel awward around Adimas. Adimas and Milla walked hand in hand towards the factory gate, they had to walk to the next coffee shop because Adimas left his Vespa motorbike there. "Mill, you still don't have a boyfriend, do you?" asked Adimas suddenly, making Milla confused because this was the first time Adimas asked her about it. "Yes, why is it Mas?" Milla wonder what was the motive for Adimas to ask such questions. "That, I have a friend who name is Gevan, I want to get to know you, do you want it or not? He's nice, a rich kid again." Adimas tries to convince Milla, this is all Adimas does because he has already promoted Gevan to bring Gevan closet to Milla. "I don't think it's necessary, Mas, I don't want to have a serious relationship with men yet, I want to focus on working first to raise money for the future." Milla said refusing, Milla is not the type of woman who will be overjoyed when she is introduced to a rich man. "Well don't be like that Mill, I already promoted to introduce you to him." Adimas persuaded him without giving up, "Just meet him once, you can refuse him, but I beg you just once to meet him, do you want?" Milla sighed heavily, originally she did not want to, but finally Milla nodded her head in agreement. It can't be helped, Milla couldn't bear it. Adimas smiled happy, happy he ran to the coffee shop and put on his helmet, "Come on, Mill *!"

For the umpteenth time Milla again begged her mother-in-law to be willing to look after Riko while Milla was working, but again her mother-in-law refined on the grounds that she was no longer strong enough to look after Riko. "Ma'am, Milla begs Ma'am, Riko is your grandson too, please take care of Riko. Only until I get home from work, Mom, I don't know where else I want to leave Riko." Milla tries to attract her mother-in-law's sympathy, but her mother-in-law's heart is already hard, rejecting Milla's request. With a heavy heart Milla took Riko away, Milla didn't know where to go, she had to carry on because later she could be late for work. Milla remembered Adimas' wife, maybe he could leave Riko with him because Adimas and his wife also had a daughter Riko's age. "Where are we going?" Riko asked confused, actually Riko had often been taken around visiting relatives' houses one by one to leave, but that was especially what made Riko afraid. Every day Riko is entrusted to a place that changes, with a different atmosphere, different treatment, which makes her scary every morning. Milla stepped closer to the door of Adimas' house, "Lir .. Lira .." Milla exclaimed calling Lira, Adimas' wife. "Yes, just a moment!" said Lira from inside, shortly the door opened and Lira appeared with an unfriendly face. "What is this Milla ?!"
