The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Ria quarrels

I let Raihan recognize himself as my future husband in front of the three women, especially in the presence of Ipah Saripah so that she no longer speaks carelessly telling people that I am still pursuing her husband. All I showed him was that I could get a much more perfect man all his gala than the man he praised as high as the sky, even though I don't know how our relationship is going forward.

I subconsciously knit my hand and wrestled spoiled in her hand. Raihan glanced at her smiling seductively."I'm very happy to see your attitude spoiled like this" he said.

"Couldn't you?"ask me while smiling. To be honest, I actually feel ashamed of making out in front of people. But what is possible because this is a very rare thing because I myself very rarely meet with Ipah Saripah in the real world. And hopefully after this she will no longer insult me and say that I am still chasing her husband.

"He'em."

"Yes yuk, pity Ria maybe she is waiting for us" I said.

While holding Rio's arm, Raihan held my arm until his car was parked handsomely in front of the meatball stall.

I took my hand off Raihan's hand because he was about to open the back car door for Rio. After Rio got in the car, Raihan opened the door for me and I entered it after thanking him.

Before Raihan drove his car and left the meatball stall I took a glance at the three women who were still staring at the car we were riding in. I don't know what they're thinking especially Ipah Saripah about me right now. Seeing his expression like that I became curious to know the contents of his mind.

Arriving in front of Ria's school, neither had seen the student come out of the young green-painted building. I was so confused by myself why the school hours were too long when it was one more hour. Raihan glanced at the clock that was coiling in his hand then restored his hair back with both hands.

"Weathered huh?"ask me.

He glanced at."Not at all dear," she said, then grabbed my palm and put it on her cheek occasionally to kiss her.

"Rai's acting body."

"The baby is acting, I'm not."

"Rig..." I look up to see it.

Raihan laughed crisply and then stroked my cheek."I know you were acting right in front of his wife Surya?"

"Kok you know it's his wife...."

"What the hell does this handsome Raihan Hermawan Gemilang not know? without acting, we are indeed a romantic couple, he he."

I put my lower lip forward and smiled faintly.

In between chatting, a horde of students walked out the gate. I immediately got out and stood beside the car so that Ria could easily find me. Raihan also came down and stood while leaning and holding his chest. During the wait for Ria, it turns out that our existence seized the attention of the students and parents who were waiting for their children because of Raihan's contrasting appearance in addition to the luxury car parked. Actually I am embarrassed to be the spectacle material of people but if I wait in the car, Ria will not know where I am.

Long enough we waited for Ria who did not show up as well. I wonder why Ria has long been out of school when the students have begun to decrease.

"Why is Ria no mba?"ask Raihan across the car.

I shook my head.

Until the student who came out can be counted with Ria's finger still not seen. I was worried for him. When two students walked along I stopped them.

"Sir, you know thirteen grade B Ria no?"

"Oh, you know my brother, we're a class" one of them replied.

"Where do you keep going, why don't you come out?"

"So Ria was called to the BP room, brother,"

"Huh, what's the matter?"

"Berrantem same as the cungkring."

"Berrantem same as the cungkring?"I said repeat. I was confused by the two students.

After the departure of the two students I saw Ipah Saripah walking hastily into the school."Why is he in this school? don't don't your kids go to school here too?"say me in my heart.

"Said the two children earlier Ria was in the BP room."

"Do we just go there mba, afraid of what happened to him," suggested Raihan.

I agreed to his advice.

Raihan and I walked together into the wide open gate. Arriving at the light green painted building it looks already deserted there are only two clean artisans who are sweeping. We approached them and asked where BP was. After they informed us, we continued our steps towards the BP room that had been notified by the sweepers.

After being in the BP room we heard the sound of sobbing and I believe it must be the sound of the sobbing of Ria, and I also heard the voice of a woman's screams like she was scolding Ria. I can't wait to enter that room.

Raihan knocked on the door of the BP Room. Not long after that the door opened saw a middle-aged man in teacher uniform dumbfounded looking at us.

"Ma.sorry, mas...mba..who is it?"ask the man who is likely a BP teacher. I don't know why he's nervous to see us, what it's like to see Raihan who looks like a boss or an important person.

"Sorry sir, we came here looking for a sister who happened to have someone tell us that our sister was in BP's room."Raihan outlined our goal of coming to the BP room.

"Sorry, whose name is my sister?"

"Ria, his name is Ria sir." I answered with impatience.

The BP teacher looked surprised.

"I heard him crying inside, what exactly is going on? can we see it?" ask Raihan.

"Yes, please, come in."BP's teacher let us in.

After being inside I saw a person I knew very well was pinching Ria furiously, so suddenly her treatment made me angry.

"Heh, take that off your hand from my sister," I snapped furiously.

Ipah turned his head towards us and raised his eyeballs, he was surprised to see my whereabouts and Raihan especially he had been to pergok acting violently on minors.

"Sister Nuri." shouted Ria, crying she ran towards me and hugged me. I returned Ria's embrace, while stroking my back to look sharply at Ipah Saripah so as to make her shrink instantly. I also saw a skinny boy staring at the songong towards me. And I believe that the boy called cungkring by the two students was this skinny-looking boy, my former stepson.

"Please sit down mas, mba," said BP's teacher.

Raihan and I sat side by side and confronted Saripah and the BP teacher. I noticed that Ipah often steals a glance towards Raihan, I know he is fascinated by his good looks.

"Can it start to clear what's going on with our sister sir?" Raihan opens the conversation.

"How about mas, mba, before I want to ask first what is Ria's sister mba and masnya?"the BP teacher asked.

Raihan and I looked at each other and then turned our eyes back to the BP teacher.

"Look sir, actually Ria is the sister of my friend and her parents are currently in hospital. So for now I'm in charge of whatever happens with Ria."I explained about my relationship with Ria.

"Oh, so."

The BP teacher began to tell the story of what happened where Ria quarreled with the children of Ipah because the gungkring began to mengedeki Ria's broad shoes and forced to take them off and throw the shoes up tile. Ria does not accept it and she is angry and with uncontrolled emotions Ria kicks her stomach and anu her cungkring and causes the gungkring to faint.

Raihan smiled at the BP teacher's story and then gave a thumbs up to Ria. Guru BP and Ipah Saripah were surprised to see Raihan who was more supportive of Ria's actions.

"If I were Ria, I would do the same, too" Raihan said casually and with a chest.

Then he turned his head towards the skinny boy."Hi boy, are your injuries severe? Want to be treated in the hospital, no? all in circumcision. You haven't circumcised yet, have you?"

The boy looked surprised then stood up and shouted."No, I don't want to be circumcised. My Anu's fine."
