The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Bang Supri is sick

I watched Raihan tidying his clothes in front of the mirror of my wardrobe. Wearing a long-sleeved shirt and black material pants. He looks handsome and more mature than his age.

Raihan glanced at me through the glass and smiled."Why look at me like that? fascinated huh? I know I've been pretty since I was born." With confidence he said so.

I who was standing in the doorway misbehaved was caught watching him. Then he hurried away and accompanied Zain to play a puzzle in the TV room.

Raihan came out of the room in a state that was neat and very handsome. He walked up to us and carried Zain suddenly.

"Uncle go first, baby, tipped mama okay," said Raihan, then kissed the whole face of Zain made the toddler laugh.

I who was still sitting looked up high looking at them. Raihan lowered his head then stretched out, I who understood his point immediately grabbed his hand and got up and stood beside him.

Raihan hugged me, kissed Zain and then moved on to kiss me on the cheek and I just let him go. I felt like a wife who was going to let my husband go for a living. Would I be sincere if I let Raihan go for Nura? while my heart is this comfortable with her? my bathin is at war between my feelings of not wanting to let go of Raihan with my feelings of not wanting to hurt Nura's feelings.

"I'm going first, huh mba?"pamit Raihan when we were on the porch.

I nodded."Rai's heart."

"Yes dear."Then I stroked my head and kissed my forehead. After that, he walked towards the sport bike that was looking in front of the house just as handsome as the owner.

I sighed heavily, heavily in residence by Raihan. Then back into my house. When I was accompanying Zain to play, I suddenly remembered my plan to visit Supri bang who said that Yati was sick today, then I rushed to be ready.

I look at the white vario honda given by Raihan which costs over thirty million. In my heart I am grateful to have it even though it is not the result of my own efforts. Maybe this is a blessing from God considering yesterday I gave my money to three people and God has replaced it by doubling through the hands of Raihan. While carrying Zain using the front sling I climbed up and drove the bike for the first time. A smile rose on my lips, I was glad that I no longer had to walk when I was about to go to and fro.

"Thank you Raihan" I said while riding a motorcycle.

I drove my bike into a village but not too village where bang Supri and his wife lived. Bang Supri herself still hitchhiking at her in-laws' house.

It's the first time I've been to Supri's bang house because I've never been there before. Since I have never visited his house, I have trouble finding where his house is. Bang Supri and Mba Yati once said that their parents had a grocery store. I also do not know the name of Yati's parents.

I guess if his parents own a grocery store means his house is located on the side of the road. While driving slowly I went down the streets that are not too wide and my tail glanced at the left and right streets who knows I found a grocery store owned by parents mba Yati but was long enough to walk the streets haven't found him yet. I stopped at a small newspost on the side of the road to ask. There were quite a number of people eating at the warteg and they were all men. If you notice it looks like they are project workers who are having lunch at the stall.

I said my greetings and all the project workers turned towards me with their thoughts including a woman who had looked aged. Looks like he's the owner of the shop.

"What's the matter?" ask the woman.

"Sorry mom, I want to ask if mom knows her house Supri or mba Yati, her parents have a grocery store business."

"Supris..Yati.." the mother seemed to be thinking.

"Who are their long names, whose parents are also names?"

"If the name of his parents I don't know Mom, I only know Supriyadi and mba Yati.....What do I forget."I thought while scratching my forehead, I myself did not memorize the same full name mba Yati.

"What does that mean that Supriyadi who works in a sugar factory and his wife named Suryati who always dressed for lack of materials and the name of his father Haji Umar has a grocery store?" Suddenly one of the project workers made a sound. I turned my gaze to a black man who was sitting at the very center on a long bench.

"Oh yes, true name supriyadi work in a sugar factory. Do you know him?"

"Well, don't call me father dong neng, I'm young and unmarried, he he."

"Oh, sorry mas. If you know where the house is?" I asked back.

"That's Supriyadi's house?"

I'm nodding.

"I'm his sister mas."

"Huh." The man was surprised to hear my confession.

"The clear period is like the artist gini his sister Supri dekil?" said the man, he mocked the Supri bang without scolding even though he himself looked dirty.

After going through a long search process I finally found the house where bang Supri lived. A house painted blue and next to the house there is a grocery store that is not too big.

I parked my bike right in front of the house. The door of his house looks closed but the shop looks open and there are even two buyers who just came out of the store. I walked towards the store to meet the owner of the house. Before I reached the store, a middle-aged, fat man came out and looked at me. From a distance he looked at me without taking his eyes off until I was close and standing in front of him. I know he is Mr. Umar his father mba Yati if according to the word of the person who tells the characteristics of Mr. Umar.

After saying my greetings and greeting him I asked the whereabouts of bang Supri. The man did not directly answer my question but rather looked at my appearance from the bottom up.

"Is this really Supri's sister? how beautiful is really different from your mother Retno, let alone the Supri," said Mr. Umar, he compared me to my mother. I had never met Yati's family before so it was only natural that she did not believe that I was Bu Retno's son and brother bang Supri.

After I had a chat that took five minutes with him he finally went inside and called out to the Supri bang. He also told me to go inside his house but I chose to sit on the porch seat instead.

A few minutes later the Supri bang came out of his house with a random appearance of scrambling and thin dry like not eating for days. The road staggered as it had no energy. His eyes looked sunken and his eyes glared exactly like the undead. It turns out true said Mba Yati that bang Supri really is sick.

"What pain do you have?"I asked, but he shook his head.

"What do you want to do here, Nuri? want to mock me?" bang Supri asked back, I think if his body is weak his voice will also weaken but this is not the case with the Supri bang. His body looked weak but his voice remained as loud as ever.

"I'm here to see you bang. Mba Yati to the house, he said Brother again sick, he asked for money the same I said to treat you bang."

"Si Yati asked for money with you?bang Supri asked, he looked curious and it seemed like his wife had not told him the Supri bang.

"Yes, he asked for money and I gave him a million for your treatment. Has he brought you bang treatment?"

"You give a million dollars to Yati? why didn't he tell me," said bang Supri his voice weakened.

"Didn't he take you on medication?"

Bang Supri shook her head.

"One-way with your wife means she lied to me. Where is he now?"

"No idea, he's gone from this morning."

"Your son?"

Bang Supri shook her head. I was furious at Yati, her husband was like an undead but left and not treated. Even more furious, he dared to ask me for money on the grounds that he would bring the Supri bang for treatment.

Since childhood Supra bang and Supri bang always thrashed me, in addition to mother's treatment that was never fair to me. But that doesn't mean I let Supri bang sick because as bad as her treatment of me she's my brother.

I took Bang Supri to the clinic. At first he refused because of his great prestige but I forced him and he finally complied. After being examined by the clinic doctor, the clinic made a referral letter to bring Bang Supri to the hospital because the hospital treatment facility is more adequate and I agreed.

I'm confused how? on one hand I have a toddler that I have to take care of and on the other hand I have to accompany bang Supri in the hospital because mba Yati can not be contacted, I also could not contact my mother because I did not have her family number there and she did not have a mobile phone because it was sold. In the midst of my confusion, Raihan called and I immediately picked him up. I told Raihan the truth about what happened to Bang Supri because I was comfortable with him. Raihan told me to go straight to the hospital he was referring to in the district and he'll soon follow me there. In my heart I am grateful that in the midst of my difficulties again and again there is Raihan who helps me as if he is a helper god.
