L'm... Baby Sugar
Tania

I tried to open my eyes, all white. 'Have I died?'

"Wake you up, Loe?" While still in confusion, a voice shocked me.

I then looked at a woman who was no different in age from me, sitting at the dinner table eating a slice of pizza and a glass of milk. I seem to know the woman, but I'm not sure it's her.

"Loe forgot me?" I just shake my head slowly.

"It's very important that you lupain temen yourself" he said as he continued to chew pizza in his mouth.

"Tania?" I said doubt.

"Well that's dong, time forgot the same temen itself" he said with a smile. I was actually hesitant about my guess, but my guess turned out to be correct. I did not expect Tania to have changed so much, her skin was dark, her nose was not as sharp as it is now, then what clearly seemed the difference was the jaw and chin.

"Sorry Tan, you're so different until I don't know you" I said grimacingly.

"Gue isn't as stupid as Loe Kanaya."

"You mean?"

"Yes loe very responsibility so sugar baby same om-om low-class rich so. Just look for the disease is its name. Why so sugar baby loe still live in a tenement, see my apartment, my sugar daddy who buy in my name again."

"Great loe Tan."

"Partially why the hell loe three o'clock mallem roam the road, already so homeless again loe? Fortunately I found you."

"So the car in front of me was Loe Tan's car?"

"Who's the car?"

"That's also a sugar daddy loe?"

"Well, that's when I told you to help."

"Great to see Tan."

"Yes, I'm not loe Kanaya who is looking for sugar daddy from the middle class, see my face now, this is also the result of morotin sugar daddy I dong. Remember Kanaya, our rich man lives in a sinful world, when we have sinned, we have only a few. We want to get rich or poor, our sins are the same, right?"

"Not really loe Tan."

"Everything is lost if you dapet dimeh, we keep going into the same hell Naya."

"Teach me to Tan's dong."

"Quietly, I will know the same sugar daddy who was dirty. Mending now you eat first, let's not starve rich earlier until fainted in the way hahahahaha."

"Damn loe, earlier I was so good at sleeping and I built my wife. It turns out that the house I put in belonged to his wife, damn it I."

"That's my word, loe playinya dimeh. hahahaha."

I then walked up to her at the dinner table and started breakfast with Tania, for a moment I glanced at her, she had completely changed. Her face had now become so beautiful, very different from the previous Tania.

I still cry a lot for Mama's departure, now I'm really living alone. Sometimes the neighbors come to see me and give me food, actually some tell me to stay with them. But I don't want to, I'm used to living like this.

Until one day, a woman of small stature came to my house. He said so loud and harsh to me. He also brought my tiny body out of the house I occupied.

"Now quickly you leave this house Kanaya, because there are people who have paid for the rent of this house."

"Sabar Bu Joko, Kanaya is still five years old, when you could just throw him away" said one of my neighbors.

"Eh Bu Cici, you don't have to interfere, you want me to drive out of this tenement house. Remember, I'm the owner of the tenement that's here. I can do as I please!"

I really don't understand what they're saying, all I know is that he's throwing away the pile of clothes and I can't go back inside that house. I then walked with a bag containing clothes, I really did not know where to go. This stomach feels so hungry, I finally saw the leftovers behind a food stall. I ate the rest of the rice and meat on the plate.

"Eh what the fuck, you street kid. Don't come near here, later my customers can be disgusted to see a child like you in my restaurant."

He told me to leave, but at least my stomach was full. I then opened the bag I was wearing and saw there was still a lot of money I got when Mama died. I then headed under a bridge, it felt like this leg was so tired to step. I then fell asleep with the cardboard and the bag I was carrying.

"Hey little boy, why are you sleeping here? This is my place!" said a boy older than me.

I just fell silent. "Cape." That's all I can say.

"Go from here, I want to sleep!!!"

I couldn't do much, and I put my foot between the crowd of vehicles passing by and the building soaring. Suddenly my stomach rang again, I saw in front of me a food stall, I then walked towards the food stall while giving a piece of money to the owner. Looks like he got what I mean, he gave me a packet of food.

I walked again to the front of an empty house. I ate the food in front of me. Suddenly I saw a shadow that looked like it was asking me, but I tried to stay calm and continue eating. But the shadow was more disturbing, I who was so curious then approached the shadow. It looked like a little girl whose age was not much different from mine was holding her stomach. I feel so sorry to see him.

"Hungry?" I said.

He just nodded, then I pulled his hand to come eat with me. He looks so good eating my food. Finish eating and then smile at me.

"Tania" he said.

"Kanaya." I replied.

"Friends?" she said cheerfully, and I nodded. He then took me to a house made of cardboard not far from where we ate.

Since that day I spent with Tania, she's such a brave boy. It seemed that he had lived on the street for so long, because he really understood the ins and outs of this city. During the day we spent busking in the streets. The leftover money was busking us food, and the night we went back to Tania's cardboard house. The road has become part of my life. My friends are getting more and more, I'm getting used to living like this. Sometimes if it rains and we can't busk, we scavenge for leftovers in the trash of some restaurants. But if the owner takes pity, our food will be fed for free.

I actually still keep some of the money I got when Mama died first, but I don't want to use it yet, and I'll use it at the right time later. I'm used to living like this. Even though we now live under a bridge because our cardboard house has been destroyed by people wearing green uniforms. But I am still happy, because I live with children who have the same fate as me. Even though our lives were not so quiet because it was shadowed by thugs who always asked for wages after we finished busking or people in green uniforms, I recently knew his name was Satpol PP.

Time seems to pass so fast. Now that I may have ranged in age from twelve, I see my mom*h my chest is growing, and I have experienced what is called menstruation. I thought about ending my life on the streets. Now I am a big boy and want to have a decent place to live, because it would be even more dangerous if I still lived on this street.

"Tan, we want to find a job just yuk, keep looking for a decent place to live, when we want to live rich gini continue."

"What Naya? Ain't you wrong to say? Anybody wants to catch our rich kid."

"If we want to try for sure we can get Tan."

"Yes, I don't want to" Tania said as she left me. I don't know if that day was my last meeting with Tania.
