The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Take care of the child

As long as Sumi accompanied her mother in the hospital my busy life grew. In addition to taking care of Zain and Supri bang I also take care of the son and the two sisters Sumi. In addition to taking care of them I also often took the time to just send food or accompany Sumi in the hospital even though it was only a few hours.

This morning I cooked a lot of fried rice for the children's breakfast as well as for the Sumi breakfast in the hospital. I brought my son and his two little sisters who still lived in my house for a while until Ms. Mariam recovered and returned home. Because I can't bear to let them stay at his house even though there is a big enough sister Sumi and can take care of her younger sister. In addition, I was also quite bothered if I had to go back and forth to Sumi's house and to the hospital. Since their presence my house has become crowded. But even so I am happy because Zain has many friends especially children and two sisters Sumi submissive and not neko neko.

"Pity You Nuri, you must take care of many children. You also have to go back to the hospital." Said bang Supri while looking at the large pan filled with rice, eggs, sausages, baso and vegetables that I was urinating.

"It's okay bang, as long as I can. anyway count I learned to take care of many children who know later I want to add another child.eh."I immediately shut my mouth.

Bang Supri smiled hearing me speak bluntly." It's okay Nur, not his life it must have a plan."

"He he right, if you don't have a plan and the road in place is not living his name bang." While the rice orek I smiled imagining if later I married a good man and had many children and at that time I remembered Raihan who had not been this one Week I went to my house, but only video calls. I also shook my head why I could suddenly imagine the figure of Raihan.

"Why did Nur smile to himself?fantasizing again, huh?" asked Supri bang at once meledek, it turns out he noticed the gesture and look on my face and it was enough to make me ashamed at all Supri bang.

I did not respond to the stings of the Supri bang but just smiled. After melting bang Supri went to the bathroom while I continued to uncoil the rice to rice and the mixture into a fried rice.

"Rij....Ria..."I shouted calling Sumi's sister's name the biggest and new first grade Junior High. Just called the boy had already groped himself at the door." Yes, brother Nuri."He's disarming.

I looked towards him." Come here, please help my brother bring this plate to the TV room for our breakfast" I said. The boy also complied.

After the dishes were laid out on the mat and a teapot filled with water and empty glass, we sat around it. Bang Supri led the prayer before we started eating. After that, bang Supri and her two sisters Sumi began to enjoy their fried rice while I fed Zain and Sumi's four-year-old son first. Let the child full first I can eat afterwards. In between meals I took photos of them then I uploaded them in the status of a chat application with caption.

"Maybe this is how it feels to have many children, house rame and eat rame rame."

A few minutes later a chat message came in and I read it.

"Dear, later after we get married we make a lot of children if necessary add eleven more so fit a dozen." emoticon love.

I smiled, reading it, what a ridiculous message. Who else if not a chat message from Raihan because this phone only has Raihan number only. Actually, I did not mean to tell her that I want to have many children, but I feel happy because my house is crowded by children.

I also replied to her chat messages.

"Have a dozen kids counted kittens times huh? A really good cat with a dozen live ones."

Raihan replied with an emoticon laughing out loud. Then follow the text message.

"If humans are good at just making it, baby." emoticons smile smirk.

I nodded my head reading it. I think the more in the ladeni the worse later. Then I returned the message just in the form of emoticons sticking out the tongue and then closed it.

It turns out that my busyness who replied to a message with Raihan was noticed by the Supri bang who had finished eating first.

"Eat first Nur, later continue his courtship. That's your rice going cold."

"Dih, who is dating someone again replied doang message."

Bang Supri raised her lower lip as a signal she could not believe my denial.

After I finished eating I cleaned up all our food marks and was helped by bang supri. While Ria I asked her to look after her sister.

"Bang.." call me while I'm washing dishes and bang supri is sipping water.

"Why Nur?" he asked, holding his drinking glass and looking at me.

"I want to leave the child first bang, want to send breakfast to the Sumi." Every day I have to deliver food for her because the only one who takes care of her mother is herself. Sumi found it difficult when looking for food outside because her mother did not want to stay for a while.

"Yes Nur, you heart."

I drove my bike to the hospital where I and Bang Supri were treated.. I deliberately brought Mariam's mother to the hospital considering the adequate facilities are also a comfortable place and the service is good even though it is not VIP. It takes an hour and a half using a private vehicle but it will be longer if using public transportation, because, must change public transportation to get to the hospital.

Finally I arrived at the big hospital and parked my bike in a special two-wheeled parking lot.

I entered the second-class room special pulmonary chamber. The room was only for three patients so it was not too crowded. There were only two patient beds filled with patients and one empty bed. The room looks big, clean and tidy.

"Sumi.." I called him.

Sumi poked her head behind a long and large curtain as a partition between the bed and the other bed. He smiled at me and I replied. Then I approached him and went behind the curtain. I saw that Ms. Mariam was closing her eyes maybe she was sleeping.

"How is your mother Sum?"

"Yes still like this Nur, later in the afternoon will undergo suctioning fluid in the lungs of the mother." Sumi explained. I'm grateful at least Ms. Mariam doesn't need to have surgery. Because if in the operation I'm not sure I will be able to finance it or not. But if it's just hospitalization or sucking fluids that don't cost too much it seems I can still afford.

"Here I bring breakfast, you eat first let me take care of your mother," I said as I thrust a bag of crackles at her.

Sumi received her with sparkling eyes and thanked her. After that, he ate it. After she finished eating I was out of the hospital for a while to look for warteg. I intend to buy rice for lunch Sumi later, because this morning I only had time to cook fried rice for breakfast. I walked towards the Padang restaurant located across the street right in front of the hospital. After being at the Padang restaurant I was greeted by a middle-aged man wearing batik clothes, it seems he is the owner of the Padang restaurant I went to.

"What do you want to order?" ask the man.

"I want to order rice in one pack yes sir," I replied, as my tail glanced at the storefront.

Suddenly the old man's cell phone rang and he reached for it." For a moment, neng," he said, while walking slowly away from me.

"Tul, patul.."he shouted to a man who was wiping the table and turned his back.

"Yes sir." The man's heart.

"There are buyers, please serve. I'm gonna pick up the phone first."

Then the man walked towards where many piles of food were stored in the storefront. When he was walking I felt his face was familiar and had seen it but had forgotten where. While he himself has not looked at me.

When he was near the storefront then facing towards me who was standing at the side.

"What message do you want m.."his mouth gaped at me.

"From a close I can remember the owner of that messy face, who else if not her mba mba Yati, the man who was shopping with mba Yati at the clothing store some time ago, who is not in droves, turns out he works at this Padang restaurant.

"M...m..mba.." he said with gago.

"You're an affair with Yati who was at the clothing store, right?" ask me.

He shook his palm, "Mom....Ma'am.not mba. Su.dah is no longer."

I smiled obliquely at the way his speech arrived gagu. Since I didn't have much time to quickly return home, I no longer interrogated the man. It's up to him to still be dating or not with mba Yati. Even if they had broken up I would not consider the woman who had slept with many men my sister-in-law again. I immediately ordered the rice and side dishes. After paying and receiving a pack of rice, I immediately left the man.

Although I didn't see but I'm sure the messy-looking man was staring at my back.

I went back to the lung cancer room with three plastic bags and gave them to Sumi.

"It's Sum, there's rice Padang for your lunch later and fruits and snacks so you don't take care of your mother."

Sumi did not take what I offered unless she shed her tears and hugged me.
