The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Nuri & Raihan

I tried to open my eyelids as I felt a soft caress on my right cheek. After it opened wide and the vision began to light up, the first look that was seen was the handsome face of Raihan smiling looking at me and caressing my cheek.

"R..Raihan.." I immediately upheld my seat when I realized that I was asleep in the car.

"We have arrived at the house mba Nuri, sorry I woke up mba," Raihan said.

"Why should Rai apologize, instead I thank you for not letting me and Zain sleep all night in the car."

Raihan smiled and his eyes did not turn away from my face. When we looked at each other and at that time the devil whispered so that we kissed back willingly and without coercion or coercion. Long enough we kissed until I felt out of breath and immediately took off the pagutan.

"I love you, what a pity," said Raihan as his hand stroked my cheek and I lowered my embarrassed face.

"How much longer is Iddah time?" his hands were still stroking my cheeks and his eyes were still staring at me. For the umpteenth time he asked me about Iddah and I have never answered him.

I looked up at my face."Sixty-seven more days."I answered him according to the calculations on the day that Surya dropped three talaq on me. Although I have not received divorce papers from the religious court but in the eyes of God we are legally divorced and I have the right to be close to any man but not yet to marry.

Raihan snorted then took his hand off my cheek and then straightened his seat back.

"Why is it so long when I want to marry you soon if need be tomorrow so we can stay together." Raihan looked upset, I did not respond to him but just smiled.

"Wheels..!"

"hem." Raihan glanced at me.

"I want to go into the house first, right?"

Raihan smiled and nodded."I also have to go back to Jakarta."

I scrunched my forehead."This dawn?"

"Yes, today is the first day my office is operating mba."

"Oh." I was silent and I don't know why I didn't want Raihan to go to Jakarta and would definitely meet his girlfriend.

"Why shut up mba? don't you want me to leave?"

I frowned again, in my heart I asked why Raihan knew my heart and mind?does he have a sixth sense.

While still silent, Raihan took my head into his chest and said, "don't you ever think negatively about me in Jakarta? although my status is in a relationship with Nura, my heart and body belong only to Mba. I've never touched Nura and it'll never happen."

"What.would it not hurt Nura Rai?" I asked with my fingers playing on his chest.

Raihan caught my hand." Mba naughty yeah, accidentally woke up my little sister."

I immediately released myself from his embrace and withdrew my hand." Oh, sorry Rai, I didn't accidentally." I was so embarrassed, I didn't even realize why I was like that.

Raihan chuckled and then said again, "it's okay mba, I've told you my heart and body belong to mba, so mba deserve me."

"But we're not Rai's husband and wife how can I be entitled to you."

"Inshaallah immediately, can you be patient?"he said, then his hand stroked the tip of my head.

I smiled blandly, if Raihan had not had a lover maybe I would have been very happy to hear it but at the moment I feel I am not sure of what Raihan said.

"Ray.."

"Yes dear."

"I want to bring Zain in.

"Let me lift up, let me go first.

I nodded and opened the car door and walked towards the door. Raihan got out of the car and lifted Zain who was sleeping in the back seat.

I opened the room door so that Raihan could enter it more easily. After that he put Zain on the bed. Raihan stroked Zain's cheek and kissed him and said, "uncle go first, baby and uncle promise to visit Zain very often, and uncle tipped mama huh? Zain has to take care of mama for the okey handsome uncle? if there's a guy approaching you, Zain's okey." I shook my head just hearing Raihan's words.

After that, Raihan will return to Jakarta. I drove him out but when I was about to hold the doorknob, Raihan fell silent and turned to me.

"What's Rai? is there anything left?"

Raihan.

"What's? let me get it."I asked seriously.

"Mba Nuri."

"Me?"with the index finger I pointed at my own chest.

Raihan nodded, "it feels like I'm so heavy to miss."

I smiled a little and I haven't had time to reply to him first me you mat my lips. I was surprised to get an impromptu attack but I did not deny that I wanted it from him either. I returned Raihan's kiss, we paged each other, tasted and exchanged saliva with each other. Again the devil managed to tempt two children of man who love each other and weak faith like us.

Long time we morn each other until I push Raihan's body because I feel Raihan's hand starts me re mas one of the twin mountains I have. I don't want us to take it too far.

After Raihan's body was pushed and slightly away from me, I immediately inhaled a deep breath of air while Raihan smiled broadly at me.

"Well, the devil has succeeded in seducing us again." Raihan chattered in the middle I was gathering air. Before I reply to his chant the voice of the dawn reverberate.

"Well, it's dawn. How about this mba, looks like I have to take a big shower first. Can I take a shower and pray here?"

While waiting for Raihan to finish bathing, I prepared a clean prayer mat and took the new Koko sarong and clothes that were still wrapped neatly in plastic. Actually, Koko's sarong and clothes I bought it for Surya when we were newly married, but it turns out that Surya did not want to wear it because Surya himself never prayed.

A few minutes later Raihan had finished his bath and approached me in the TV room, Raihan looked very fresh, he said, his hair was wet and oozed the shampoo I often wear and wore a towel that he stuck to his waist. In my heart I asked why Raihan came out in a state of just wearing a towel? he was deliberately teasing me.

Raihan realized that I was watching him and with a naughty smile he said, "don't look at me like that mba, I'm afraid mba tempted continue if mba tempted I can follow tempted if it's the same tempted we can what?"

I turned my embarrassed face away and without responding to the teasing I walked up to him and gave him a sarong and a cocoa shirt.

"This is a sarong and her cocoa clothes Rai, it is impossible for you to pray just by wearing a towel." My hand was outstretched towards him but my gaze was in the other direction.

"Care you really afraid of being tempted to look at my body?"

"These chips were taken, otherwise I'd keep them again." I started to get upset and threatened him because Raihan just kept getting sucked up. With a smile Raihan grabbed what I gave then he wore it in front of me without any shame. I rushed to the kitchen before he mocked me back.

A few minutes later, I returned to the TV room again, saw Raihan still sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat like he had not performed prayer. He looked back after realizing my whereabouts and then stood up and asked, "are you ready yet?"

"Huh, ready to be!" I said repeating, frowning.

"Aren't we going to pray at dawn?" her question, deservedly she did not pray directly but just silence, it turns out she was waiting for me. Maybe he thinks I want to pray with him.

Shamefully I said, "sorry Rai, I'm not praying."

"Why, why mba?" Raihan asked again making me even more embarrassed to answer.

And with the shame I was holding I bluntly." I'm coming monthly guest Rai." My little face bowed right.

"Monthly guest, what the hell do I mean I don't understand." I became more confused to explain it to Raihan who did not understand at all.

"I'm menstruating Rai."Finally I said clearly so that Raihan immediately understood and did not ask much more, even though I was really embarrassed.

Raihan laughed a lot at me who started to get upset with him and then said, "sorry baby, I understand this is a man so I don't understand what happens to women every month. Maybe I should learn a lot more about what the nature of a woman is other than childbirth." After saying so, Raihan started performing the dawn service. For a moment I watched Raihan who was worshiping, it felt so good to see him and a smile on my lips.

While waiting for Raihan to finish worshiping I made toast for Raihan before he left for Jakarta because I know in the morning there will be no restaurant that is open at least there will be small traders only. I'm afraid he won't have time for breakfast considering today the first day his office will start operating will definitely be very busy right.

Five minutes later, the peanut butter and strawberry toast I roasted on teplon was done and I put it on the plate and didn't forget I made warm milk anyway.

I walked into the TV room carrying a tray, seeing Raihan folding his prayer mat.

"Have Rai finished? I'm making breakfast for you afraid you won't have time for breakfast."I said as I walked towards the living room and placed one glass of milk and two pairs of toast on the table.

"Thank you dear, what a concern" Raihan said behind my back. Then I got out of the way to make her sit on the couch.

After sitting Raihan chattered."Gini is good if you have a wife, her husband wants to go to work to make breakfast so no longer suck to find or make it himself. But if we're married, we rent ART because I don't want my beautiful wife to do housework. Mba Nuri served me in bed."

"Rai.." I slightly jerked her while raising my pupils hearing her prank that made me ashamed. His fear has gone too far. Raihan smiled widely then sipped warm tea and started eating his bread but glanced his eyes at me who was sitting opposite him.

A cup of tea and two pairs of toast had been eaten by Raihan. After that he leaned his back against the side of the sofa and then held his stomach and said, "When I get married later it seems like my stomach will not be sixpack anymore but bulging because my wife will always feed a lot."

"When you feel like most of the why are you eating everything?" I replied because I knew Raihan was insinuating me.

"Ha ha, what if not spent pity that has made it hard."

I took a short breath."What time do you want to go to Jakarta?" ask me to switch the conversation.

Raihan glanced at the clock that was coiling in his left hand then muttered softly."wow, it's already six and a half." Then he glanced again at me.

"I want to leave now mba, can be nine o'clock arrived at the office, late one hour is okay."

"But you're Rai's boss, not his boss if mah free huh?"I insinuated it and Raihan laughed crisply.

Then Raihan got up and took a break."I'm leaving now, mba."After saying goodbye, he walked towards the door and was about to hold the doorknob.

"Wheels..!"I called him and Raihan looked at me.

"Why mba?"

"Do you want to go home to your parents first?"

"It seems like it won't be possible to mba. I'm going straight to the office."

"Go to the office, aren't you wrong?"

Raihan scrunched his forehead."Wrong, what's wrong?"

"Are you going to the office in a sarong and Koko?"

Raihan looked at his own body." Gosh," he muttered, he looked a little embarrassed then smiled smirked. I smiled at her funny behavior as well.

"I can't borrow Koko and her mba's sarong? because last night's clothes were dirty." asked Raihan later.

"Are you sure you're going to the office with that look?" ask me to make sure, then stand up and walk over to him.

"Maybe I'll stop by my apartment before I go to the office."

"Ooh, if you want to just wear Rai."

"Thank you mba" he said with a smile. I nodded and in a careless state Raihan kissed my forehead gently and then whispered in my ear."I love you so much mba, You are my everything.
