The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
The former in-laws debate


After traveling for about an hour we finally arrived in front of the house of Surya's parents. From inside the car, the parents saw that Surya's two sisters and her husbands were chatting on the porch. The six people turned their heads towards our parked car right in front of them. This is the third time I visited my ex-in-law's house because during my time as Surya's wife I only visited twice, at the time of the first new marriage and the birthday of Elis' son the youngest brother of Surya. It is not without reason that I very rarely visit my former in-laws, because, they do not accept my presence and that of my son.


In the eyes of parents and two sisters Surya I am a materialistic woman because at the time of our marriage, the, my mother and first brother asked for three hundred million on the grounds that the money was the dowry I wanted at our wedding when I myself did not know about the dowry and mas Surya himself did not talk what what what to me.


I myself only found out when Surya was angry and then told me about the money. I think it's appropriate since the beginning of our marriage that the Surya family has shown its dislike towards me it turns out that the cause is about the money of three hundred million which is the result of selling the garden and some rice field. And because of the money, my son Zain became a victim of their hatred.


After finding out the cause of their attitude that never liked me, I became guilty because because of mother and Supra bang they lost some of their property. Many times I fantasized about having three hundred million dollars, I would love to replace the money that my family has taken so that they don't continue to hate me especially hate Zain because even though Zain is their grandson and I want them to love me Zain is just like loving his other grandchildren including the children of Ipah.


Before getting out of the car I took a deep breath and said bismillah. I wish my son Zain was in this house.


They looked dumbfounded looking at us who had just got off the car. I don't know what makes their faces like that. Either because they were surprised to see the arrival of a former daughter-in-law who very rarely came but arrived, either because of the handsome man beside me or the luxury car we were riding in.


Me and doctor Bayu looked at each other then walked hand in hand to approach those who had stood in unison.


"Assalamualaikum mother, father and all!" my greeting. In addition to greetings, I also gave them a warm smile.


"Wa'alaikum salutations."Of the six people only Danu husband of second sister mas Surya who answered my greetings. While the others were silent, some even stared cynically at us.


"Mh...Nuri!" danu said slowly, I smiled at him.


"How are your parents and others healthy?"


"No need to base directly on the point, what do you want to tumben tumbenan come here? asked my ex-mother-in-law, then she turned her eyes to doctor Bayu and looked at him from bottom to top."Oh, do you want to show off if you have a male substitute beyond Surya? it's worth asking for divorce from Surya, sweet enough to be thrown away. Surya's morotin money has run out and now you just stay for the sake of this rich and younger man." The accusation that contained the element of slander was enough to make me have trouble swallowing my saliva. I'm sure Surya must have talked to his family and trusted him.


I glanced at Doctor Bayu, saw him narrowing his eyes. I felt bad for him, he who did not know what to drag into my broken up household.


"Sorry Mom, Like her I have to straighten out about our divorce so that mother does not carelessly talk and accuse others of the cause I asked for divorce with Surya. I knew this Bayu doctor only a few days ago Mom and long after I divorced my mother's son. There is also a problem I asked for divorce from Surya not because of men but which woman the hell would want in polygamy? After knowing in polygamy what I'm wrong to ask for a divorce, right?"


"Even, polygamous men are natural things and that includes one of worship. The Prophet had many wives, "reply to his former father-in-law with his knowledge of polygamy.


"Oh, so you think polygamy is normal?yes it may be natural for men but not for women."


"Don't you know that the reward for accepting her polygamous husband is so great?"my ex-father-in-law simply said so.


"Oh, the reward is great? is that right sir? then I ask my mother, do you want to get a big reward but you get married again?"She did not answer my question but rather glared sharply at her husband and made the manly man shriek instantly. From the look on her face, I can guess that my former mother-in-law did not like the words of her husband who was thinking less sane.


Then I turned my eyes to Surya's two sisters."And now I'm asking you both, do you want to be polygamous by your husband's husband?"point me at the two men standing side by side and they look at each other.


Both of Surya's siblings seemed surprised to get a question from me suddenly arrived, but soon the first sister Surya answered it.


"Well, who wants his affection to be shared, his trunk divided, his money in share." Then she glanced at her husband."Just be careful if you dare to marry again, I will not hesitate to cut your little girl so that you have no child,"he threatened with bulging eyes and her husband seemed shudder.


"Ha ha ha." Danu laughed out loud."Seriously bang your little one? it turns out that the big body is not necessarily anu her big either, I think anu mu big bang, ha ha ha,"heck Danu in between his laughter.


Ledekan Danu made the husband of the first brother Surya feel embarrassed and look annoyed at his wife.


"You are careless when you talk. Let me say you call it small but you often ask to add and make you addicted, right? even if you mock me like that I'm still loyal to you, unless...."


Then she turned her gaze toward my former mother-in-law."Mom, if you marry again just castrate let's know the taste." After saying annoyedly he went into his house.


"Yes Ma'am, I agree with brother Nani just cast aside his father if he wants to try to marry again," said Siti agreed. My ex-father-in-law was seen gawking at his two daughters advising his wife to castrate him if married again.


"And you Danu beware if you follow the father's words," continued Siti with a threatening tone to her husband.


"Don't equate me with the thought of father sit, if I want to marry again most I wait for us to divorce first," said Danu look relaxed.


"What do you mean Danu's divorce? so you've got plans to divorce me?"ask Siti with emotions starting to overflow.


"I don't have a divorce plan with you, but it can happen at any time. Who could bear the same chatty wife as a tin can of rhombeng," Danu's lead, siti's face bent for a moment, he looked very angry.


"What are you saying, I'm like a rhombus can? are you..."


"Already.have!" my ex-mother-in-law mediated the Danu and his wife debate and the siti fell silent.


"It's all because of your talk sir, the children are fighting," said my ex-mother-in-law to her husband, she seemed very upset.


"Cock you're blaming me? salahin your ex-daughter-in-law is because she started, "pointed my former father-in-law to me. I frowned I had been blamed by her and in my heart I cursed in annoyance.


Amidst the debate, a meticulous motorbike came and parked next to the doctor's car. Looks Elis the youngest brother of Surya and the only family of Surya mas who is good to me and his son down from the motorbike.


"Lho, there's Mba Nuri!"greet Elis while walking towards me. A smile fell on her lips, and I returned her smile. I am grateful to meet him, at least I can talk to the only family of Surya mas who can be said to be more sane and connected.


"Elis! I said hello back, and then we hugged each other.


After hugging, Elis glanced at the doctor Bayu.


If this is.....!" Elis looked at the doctor with a hanging sentence.


"Oh, this is my friend, you know her name doctor Bayu.''


"Oala, doctor sir, but what friend is a friend?" seductive Elis, one of her eyes blinked right at me.


Doctor Bayu smiled and looked down. I rounded my pupils to look at Elis, while Elis just laughed a little at my expression.


"More than any friend is okay mba, I support you, after all mba will already be a single woman Now, mba also entitled to be happy you know."


"Ehmm Lis, do you know the existence of Surya mas?"I asked and switched the conversation because I did not feel good to the baby doctor if teased continuously by Elis.


"Well, what's wrong mba? tumben tumbenan looking for mas Surya here?"Elis asked back.


I told Elis about Zain's disappearance until I suspected that the one who brought Zain was Surya's mas. Elis seemed surprised, he said he had met with Surya three hours ago and brought Zain. But when Elis asked about Zain, Surya claimed to have received permission from me to take him. And what makes me surprised is that Zain has been brought to Jakarta by Surya mas.
