The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Among Raihan

After getting in the car and Raihan started driving forward his car, I glanced at the interior in the car that looks luxurious and still smells like new in use, he said, even the back seat is still wrapped in plastic.See the village and I admit it because this is the first time I ride a luxury and expensive car.

I know Raihan is watching my village behavior but he does not protest but allows me to continue to look amazed at the car I was riding.

"Don't like this car?"

"Like it, it's good on the ride."

Raihan looked bright with a smile at the reply that sounded clumsy and I felt it.

"Is this your car Rai?" ask me.

"No, it's a showroom car."

I frowned, not understanding what Raihan had just said. I asked back."Meaning Rai?."

Raihan glanced at me with his eyes tail." I'm just borrowing mba, this car belongs to the showroom, I'll return it to it later. But if you want I won't return it but I'll leave it at the mba's house."

"Huh?"I looked up at Raihan. I don't understand what he's saying.

Raihan who saw the expression on my face smiled faintly and then asked, "could you not?"

"You want, what do you mean Rai?"ask me still in confusion.

"You received this car to use the same mba."

My pupils are growing." What, are you crazy?" I said, so surprised.

"I'm serious about giving this car to Mba and Zain."

I shook my head quickly in the sense of rejecting it through body language because my mouth felt locked.

"Mr...."

"No, no Rai no. I'm not interested in having a car let alone being given by someone else just." I refused it raw not without reason. I think the village people will be nervous if they find out that poor women like me arrive suddenly rich and have a BMW car. Do not be a car that is large and can be directly visible to the eye. The diamond that Raihan gave me I did not dare to wear even though it could be covered by my hijab.

"I am your future husband, why do you consider me someone else?" raihan said, he looked annoyed.

"Please don't overdo Rai, I'm not who you are yet, unless I'm really your wife you can give whatever you want to give." I gave my reasons for Raihan to understand.

Raihan sighed heavily then said, "it's already mba, don't have to be discussed anymore." His face looks flat.

Then Raihan drove his car at high speed after being on the highway to the hospital. Overtaking happens all the way. I was scared until I grabbed the car seat and closed my eyes even though my body was in a seat belt. Raihan doesn't usually speed when he takes me but this time he's like a racer.

Suddenly my head was dizzy and my stomach was nauseous, then I screamed because I was afraid of vomiting in his new car." Stop Rai, stop stopp."Then Raihan reduced his speed and saw me who was closing my mouth holding back the urge to vomit.

After I found out I was about to vomit, he pulled the car over and unlocked the car door. I immediately went down and in a crouching position I vomited out my stomach contents.

Raihan pinched my little nape. After feeling that my stomach was not nauseous anymore I stood up and Raihan gave me a bottle of mineral water but I did not take it and turned my eyes the other way because I was very upset with him.

"Sorry mba, I'm sorry. I don't mean to call it on the street but..."

"I'm not used to riding in Rai's luxury car so I'm drunk. Than later I make you bother again I want to take public transportation."

Raihan shakes fast." No mba no, I will not let mba ride public vehicle. Aren't you afraid that there are a lot of bad people out there?"

Without talking again raihan grabbed my waist and drove slowly to the door of the car and Raihan asked me to get into the car. At first I was silent but saw the sharp gaze of Raihan would not want me to obey him.

After that, Raihan restarts his car at medium speed.

Silent...

There was no conversation between us. We are busy with our own thoughts. I thought about Raihan's attitude that suddenly changed to driving brutally. I feel like he's upset with me but what's upsetting him is that I don't feel like doing or talking to myself can upset him. I tried to remember him and before long I remembered the last time he spoke before driving fast. Raihan does not want to be considered by others because of that he is angry.

Unexpectedly and I thought Raihan was still angry, he held my palm

and said full of regret.

"I'm sorry, mba, I'm sorry. I don't mean to scare the mba and freak out, I just..."

"It's Rai, I should have apologized for upsetting you. Now you just focus on driving the danger of driving while chatting." Then I let go of my hand from Raihan's grasp because I wanted him to just focus on driving and Raihan smiled thinly barely noticeable.

Before entering the hospital area I asked Raihan to stop at the martabak seller on the roadside, Raihan said. He parked his car right in front of a white car.

"Rai, you wait a minute, okay?"

Raihan.

Then I got out of the car and walked towards the martabak seller.See there are three people who are waiting to sit on a long bench and turn their backs there. I also approached the martabak seller.

"I order martabak telor with each martabak nut contents one yes!" I ordered the martabak behind the backs of the three waiting people, because the access to approach the martabak seller's cart was blocked by a long, cross-legged bench and sat by three people it made it difficult for me to get close to the seller.

"Every neng, in wait a few minutes ya neng."

I'm nodding.

After ordering the seller, the three men turned to look at me who was behind them simultaneously.

I scrunched my forehead after clearly seeing the three faces of people I knew very well. But I usually behave with them.

"The villagers enter the city because of his appearance, the village remains a shameful village" taunted Bu Rida.

I didn't respond to Bu Rida's taunts but a stale greeting."Uh, there's Miss Rida, Risa and Mr. Ustad."As usual, Miss Rida always looks cynical when she sees me.

"Dek Nuri how are you? why is Nuri's deck in town? it's been a long time since we've met."Ask ustad Amir. But the question got a plot from his wife so he squealed. Maybe when he greeted me he forgot his wife was next to him.

I understand why Ustad Amir asked that because they think I am just a frog in a shell, a village that does not know the city. But I did not respond to the greeting as well as the question because I did not want to deal with Bu Rida.

"Where's raihan? where are you hiding Raihan? basic guy's boyfriend grabber" Suddenly Risa asked in a loud voice. He looked at me. Bu Minah is right that Risa looks stressed and approaches gi la.

It looks like Amir is holding his arm maybe so that Risa does not run amok on me. I just smiled at him after all for what I serve people like him.

Then I turned to the martabak and asked about my order.

"It's been a neng, a minute huh?"said martabak seller.

I'm nodding.

Not long after the martabak seller was about to give a bag containing two boxes of dignity to me but he struggled because the road was covered by three people who were always hostile to me.

"This father's mother how the hell, if not buy why hanging out here. Pity my customers who have to stand up from earlier."Word

the seller.

"It's just a rickety bench."

"It's not a matter of the bench is good or rickety but you guys have blocked my customers because it has crossed the bench. This bench should be facing the street not like this." The seller looks really upset.

"Sorry sir, please step aside first yes I want to take the martabak" I said to ustad Amir. It turned out that Ustad Amir had complied and he had gone out of his way to give the seller the martabak to me.

After receiving and paying the martabak I immediately went and entered the parked car with a distance of ten meters from the martabak seller.

I noticed the man through the windshield looking at the car I was riding in with his mouth wide open. Let alone bat flies seem to be able to enter into their mouths so wide. Maybe they didn't expect me to be in a sandal and barbed up in someone's fancy car that must have made them curious about the owner of the car I was riding in.

"Already mba?" Raihan asked.

"It's Rai."

"What else do you want to buy?

"In front there is a Padang restaurant, please stop huh?"

"Ready dear." Then Raihan drove his car slowly towards the Padang restaurant I pointed at. After arriving, I did not go down immediately because there were still many people waiting in line at the Padang restaurant.

"Why not buy at a restaurant that is there only mba," pointed Raihan to a restaurant. I followed the direction of his index

"Ribet Rai, must turn the direction. Besides, my friend is a Padang rice lover."

"Owh."

Five minutes waiting finally Padang restaurant was deserted. I asked Raihan for permission to come down and Raihan allowed it. I walked closer to the barrier between the buyer and the storefront.

"Excuse me.."

I said hello to someone who was busy wiping the table. Then she turned her head towards me and was stunned with her mouth wide open looking at me. Maybe he didn't think I'd go back to this Padang restaurant. I also have no other choice because this is the only Padang restaurant closest to the hospital. Although I was actually very lazy to meet this messy-looking man.

He walked with wide steps over to me and stood beside the storefront.

"Mba...the pretty one who met at the clothing store right? same day yesterday and now here again."

"Please wrap one, side dish rendang and roasted chicken." I did not respond to his chatter but directly to the point.

"Now dong mba don't rush. The acquaintance used to be that, we have often met but do not know each other who knows who we are mba mate," he said, full of confidence.

Then he thrust his hand towards me wanting to shake hands but I did not reply to him unless I frowned at the attitude of this man, very confident. Does he think I'm Suryati who is easy to meet with just anyone, especially men.

"I'm sorry I'm in a hurry, please wrap my order earlier. Do you want me to report to your boss to get fired?" I threatened her to wrap her necklace immediately and it turned out that my threat worked. Without speaking again he immediately wrapped the rice and side dishes I ordered.

"How long is it dear?"suddenly Raihan came and took my hand. The man turned his head towards us but then he looked surprised after seeing Raihan beside me.

"Boss Rai's..."

"Lho, you work here now?"ask Raihan.

I frowned as if Raihan knew the man.

"L.iya boss."

Raihan smiled faintly then glanced at me." Come on baby, your friend must have been waiting for this rice."

I nodded and as we were about to get out of the place, the man called out to Raihan.

"What's wrong? ask raihan.

"This is who's Rai's boss?"

"My future wife, don't try to bother him if you don't want to deal with me anymore.
