The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
The money collectors

Not that I can't afford to replace it with two hundred thousand, but the problem is that my son Zain is wrong or not. Even though I don't know how it really happened but I feel that Mr. Yanto is lying to me. If I give you the money it's the same as me blaming my own son.

"Heh, Nuri, I'm not blackmailing you, I'm just asking for damages. You're just as stingy as your mother Nur." Mr. Yanto started to get annoyed to the point of likening me to mother. Speaking of mom, I remembered why my mom hadn't come back for half a year. Honestly speaking, the absence of my mother at home made me breathe a little relieved, no longer getting her anger and nagging and her other treatment even though I had to bear all the debts my mother owed me. I was upset but as bad as my mother's attitude she was my mother and I missed her.

Because Mr. Yanto related to my relationship with my mother, I became increasingly upset. Then I went into the house and took fifty thousand four pieces. After that I came out again and threw it in front of Mr. Yanto.

"Take it, take it please take it and quickly get away from my house. And another one quickly that fence yard of the father's house so that the chicken father does not enter the yard of my house. If the chicken still goes into my yard, I won't hesitate to cut it." I spoke in a high tone and the fire made Mr. Yanto look at me. I know I was wrong to give him money in the way he was thrown, but how I was already upset and emotional. I don't want him to think I'm weak or afraid of him.

Mr. Yanto immediately picked up the money that was on the ground, it was seen that he had no self-esteem. This was my first debate with Mr. Yanto after my mother was not home because I had no problem with him even though I was annoyed with his chicken roaming in my yard and leave dirt. In the past when mom was at home often she quarreled with her can not be separated from the chicken problem.

I went back inside the house after Mr. Yanto returned to his house. Just look, he'll carry out my orders to fence his yard no, if it doesn't mean there's an abnormality in his brain.

In the afternoon when I was lifting the dried up crackers clothesline, I was surprised by the arrival of the wife of Yati bang Supri. It turned out that he still had a face after I threw him out some time ago when he was collecting my mother's debt which amounted to two hundred thousand.

The appearance of her sloping face and wearing a mini skirt showing her black putty she walked towards me who was holding a winnow containing crackers.

From a distance I look at her cynically because I did not like her since from the first time she married with bang Supri until now because of her arrogant and rich pretentious attitude even often insulting me.

"What else would you like to come here? don't tell me to take any more money with me, just wait until my mom gets home" I said.

While holding her chest and looking cynically at me she replied to him."Arrogant once you Nuri, the poor and new also become a traveling cracker trader has been doubted especially if you are a businessman and rich."

I grinned, not knowing that my efforts that she took for granted made money multiples of her husband's salary of only three million.

"Oh, I'm arrogant at the moment? yes, even though I became a cracker trader, at least I earn money, you know not only the work asked for here to meet lifestyle needs." I satirized her and Yati began to look annoyed at my innuendo.

"I'm a busy man, what's the matter here?" tanyaku later. Mba Yati sounded an annoyed grunt then said and made me between believing and not believing.

"Your sick brother has been lying at home for a week and not working."

I just saw the report from mba Yati about bang Supri." Bang Supri is sick? what pain is he?" I asked him, because he was sick and his wife reported to me.

"Where do I know, people have not been medicated."

I frowned hearing Yati's confession, how could she let her husband be sick without being treated.

"If it hurts, why is it left and not brought to mba treatment?"

"By the way it's easy, Nur, but don't you think that medicine uses money?"

"Yes, use the money who uses the leaves." I beat him up with annoyance.

"That's you know Nuri."

I'm pissed."Yes, I received the report. What else do you want now?"

"You asked for money to treat your brother bang Supri."

"Yes because you are his sister bang Supri eat it I dare to ask for money to treat your brother."

"Bang Supri never considered me his sister from the past until now mba, then his wife should be his own wife who is responsible not to give it to me."

"I have no money Nuri, eat it I ask you."

"Not a rich man?"i insinuated.

"It's Nuri, you don't discuss where. Quickly give the money to me let me take him for treatment. I'm not at home to see him sleep and not earn." Mba Yati lightly forced me to give her money. Really really short. It's not that I don't have the heart to let my own brother get sick and let it go, even though Supri's bang has never been kind to me. Moreover, I want to see the responsibility mba Yati as a life partner bang Supri who should be difficult to be happy to live together not only when happy only.

I was still silent and looked annoyed at him.Didn't think the same bang Supri who has a smart wife kodek.

"Quick Nuri, want to give money not you. If you don't want it already, I'll let the sick Supri bang continue to die, it doesn't matter to me if he dies, I'm beautiful there are still many rich men who want to be with me."

I shook my head to hear my sister-in-law's words, not thinking she had such thoughts. Sweetheart on the Supri bang when healthy and there is money only but when the Supri bang helpless his sense of regret is lost. Has it been all this time that Yati does not love the same bang Supri? If noticed from the appearance of the Supri bang that always looks closer, it can be guessed if the Yati mba is so on the Supri bang. If it is true my guess how stupid bang Supri for love he maintains mba Yati even though his nature already looks ugly.

As sorry or as hateful as I was to bang Supri because of her attitude that was never good to me from our childhood to growing up but I still have heart and affection for her even though a little. I can't let Bang Supri keep getting sick. Rushing I went into the house and took a deposit of one million and then came back again on the mba Yati who was standing on the porch of the house.

"This is money for treatment bang Supri, money for treatment yes, not to wear the same mba," I said remind him, who knows he wears it himself given his shortsighted attitude. It sounded mba Yati snorted angrily then took the rough money that I thrust at her then rushed away from my house.

I stared at the back of Mba Yati in hopes that Mba Yati used the money really to treat bang Supri not used for his own needs. But if that happens I will make a calculation with him. Tomorrow I plan to see if Supri's really sick or just their wits.

At half-six and I just finished feeding Zain, there was a female voice shouting on the porch while banging on the door.

I piqued once and rushed to the door after storing Zain's used plate first. After opening the door I was shocked by the arrival of Bu Rida with her angry face and the look of Amir with her frightened face. My forehead was furrowed to see the arrival of the two distinguished people in my village. Her husband is respected for being an ustad, and his wife is respected for her social lifestyle and her spicy mouth.

"I'm sorry what's the business ahead of the Maghrib coming to my house?"I asked out of curiosity.

"I'm here to collect your mother's debt to my husband of five million." Said Bu Rida with a loud and fiery voice. Good thing my house is away from the neighbors so the loud voice of Bu Rida did not invite them to watch us.

Ustad Amir pulled up his wife's arm and said, "mom, you'll charge her with Miss Retno, Nuri doesn't know what."

"Bodo very, I want my money back now" Bu Rida joked to her husband.

"Quite as soon as you pay your mother Nuri's debt, how dare your mother keep silent about my husband's money and it's not been returned for a long time,"

"Can't you speak in a low voice?"I insinuate him because from earlier he spoke like talking to people at a distance when I was in front of him.

"Don't pay off your mother's debt."

I shook my head just to see the attitude of Bu Rida who seemed arrogant. I myself acted normally because I knew before that my mother had a debt to Amir because Amir's own father told me but at that time he did not collect it. I also do not want to argue, other than the time to enter the Maghrib I am also lazy to serve his words. I rushed into the house and took the money from the sale of crackers last month that I had not had time to save in the bank. After that I went back to those who were waiting for me outside the house.

"This ma'am, my mother's five million in debt, please count."I handed the money to Ms. Rida then she took a rough and counted it.

"It's fitting, isn't it, Mom?" ask me, but Ms. Rida did not answer but rather left without permission and then on ekori by Ustad Amir behind her. I shook my head to look at the attitude of the two people and I hope that the money I have spent today will be a blessing for me and Zain.
