The Sugar Mommy

Determined Rian

Mak Ratih feels guilty to Rian's family. There was no malicious intent when Mak Ratih accidentally discussed the matter of Rian going to the city to work with the Judge.

Mak Ratih told the Judge, he felt sorry because he accidentally, instead making Elsa and Rian again had to fight.

"Mother was the first time I saw Elsa and Rian fighting. Just because of a trivial matter, they would fight all out. So, don't feel guilty. After all, Mother tells me or not to Elsa, in the end Elsa will still know when it arrives on the day of Rian's departure." The judge responded very casually.

"Kim, are you talking like that anyway? It's like your words aren't their closest people." Mak Ratih reprimanded his son.

The judge shook his hand in the air. "Easy, Mom. Elsa's mom is close. Try advising Elsa, give an explanation if Rian went to the city also for the sake of children and wives. Who is Rian's money for if not for Elsa and Faqih? Anyway, I feel sorry for Rian, Mom. I should have helped my friend."

Mak Ratih took a long breath. The judge insisted that Rian be brought into the city in two days.

It wasn't the Judge who brought Rian in at first. But it was Rian himself who came to the Judge for help. When there's a chance that Rian can change his fate, why not, right? The judge helped his friend selflessly.

"Acrasnodity ..."

The chatter of the couple and the mother stopped when they heard Elsa's voice outside. Mak Ratih also had the opportunity to meet Elsa first, before the Judge went out to follow the Mother.

"Guil, Elsa." Mak Ratih half-run scurrying towards the door. "What's up, Sa? Come on, sit down. I made you drink, huh?"

"No, Mama. I'm here to see the judge. Is he home?" ask Elsa woo.

"I'm here, Sa. What are you looking for me for?" sahut Hakim stepped towards the terrace greeting Elsa.

Regardless of Mak Ratih's gaze, Elsa approached towards the Judge. He then said, "Please help me, Kim .. Please tell Mas Rian that the work in the city is off. I beg you, "pinta Elsa holds the Judge's hand.

The judge took Elsa's hand off slowly. "Sorry, Sa. I promised my boss. If I don't bring Rian, I might lose my job."

"Help me, Kim! I'll do anything for you to help." Elsa put on a face. "If it wasn't you, who else would have helped me?" persuade Elsa.

"Then, who would help me too if I lost my job for not taking Rian? You want responsibility, Sa?" reply Judge.

Elsa pursed her lips tightly. He was stunned to hear the answer of the man in front of him. Right, Elsa won't be able to help the Judge when the man loses his job because of her.

"Don't be selfish, Sa. Let Rian go find a decent job. If Rian is successful, who enjoys his money? You, right?" cecar Judge.

"Then what?" the judge was upset. "Over this time you yourself who complain often insulted neighbors for being poor. But you don't allow Rian to work in the city. Rian works as a pelvic coolie, your reaction is also disappointing. Rian what to do then? Even the idle Rian is more wrong in the eyes of you and the neighbors!"

Mak Ratih was surprised to see the Judge say such scathing words to Elsa. Mak Ratih felt that the Judge was too late. The middle-aged woman tried to mediate.

"Kim, enough. Don't miss Elsa. We have no right to end anyone, you and Elsa have nothing to do. You may be good friends with Rian, but you must also be aware of your capacity." Mak Ratih then pulls Elsa away from the Judge. "Sa, Mak is sorry about yesterday's incident. Mak doesn't want to complain to you and Rian. But Mak really doesn't know that Rian and Hakim are deliberately hiding this thing with you."

"It's okay, Mama. I don't blame Mak Ratih. Maybe I'm the one who believes too much in Mas Rian and Hakim" he said. "When before I knew Mas Rian you were going into town, I had come to ask the Judge not to find a job for Mas Rian in town. But I forgot to lose they were too close. I didn't think Mas Rian and Hakim would conspire to lie to me."

The judge felt his chest slide. Elsa's words hit the Judge's heart. He is forced to pretend to defend Rian in front of Elsa. The judge did this merely wanting to keep away from Rian who had no responsibilities as a husband. The judge will get Elsa and Judge away on their own. The judge will teach Rian how to enjoy life until he forgets his son and wife in the village.

When the Judge manages to get Elsa and Rian apart, that's where the Judge will approach Elsa in the safest way possible, without being caught by Elsa—that this is all the Judge's plan.

The judge did not have the heart of the woman. Every day Elsa must get satire, insults, insults just because Elsa comes from an underprivileged family. The judge promised that one day Elsa would live a happy life without worrying about not being able to buy rice.

"Whatever you say, Sa. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Better now you go home, then help the judge prepare his things. You know, that Rian's leaving in two days?" muttered Judge.

***

Rian is determined to change his life for the better. Rian promises himself to make Elsa and Faqih happy when he succeeds in becoming a successful person. Rian will show everyone in this village that Rian is the man responsible for the lives of his wife and children. Not what people have been saying all along.

The judge specifically bought Rian a medium-sized suitcase. It is enough if you only wear clothes. Rian was very grateful to the Judge, because that man was the one who pushed himself to go to the city. Even Hakim who will bear the cost of transportation Rian from the village, to Jakarta.

Rian doesn't have a lot of clothes. Even the small size suitcase still feels loose for Rian.

Elsa arrives home. He just came from Mak Ratih—'s house to talk to the Judge. The judge's reaction disappointed Elsa. He could not persuade the man.

"Here, I'll help you put your clothes on, Mas."

Rian frowned. "Are you sure, Sa? It's not like you don't like me—"

Elsa without saying much stuffed the rest of Rian's clothes into the suitcase. Unlike yesterday, the woman seemed more reserved, without protesting anything.
