The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Chat on the dining table

My forehead frowned at the words spoken by the elderly woman who was caressing my cheek, Hanum, why did she call me Hanum?my bathin asked.

"Ma.sorry Mom, Na.My name is Nu..Nuri,"I said. I was very nervous, my heart was pounding not because in the face and touched by the elderly woman in front of me, I don't know why I feel that way and I feel so close to the elderly woman but still look so young.

He fell silent then lowered his hand from my cheek but the look on his old eyes was still fixed on my face.

"Yes Oma, her name is Nuri.....Hanum, he's Bayu's friend from attack."Dr. Bayu added.

After realizing he shook his head slowly then rubbed his face."Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry," she said, then stepped back.

"Oma apologize Oma just..."

"Oma, I'm sorry there's a guest looking for Oma." We all looked at the source of the voice, and saw a mature woman standing not far from us. And his arrival also cut the sentence Oma who had not had time to say right, but I was curious what would Oma say.

"Who's the morning that's been looking for me, Ayu?"ask Oma.

"Anu Oma, Ibu meri, wife.bapak bagaskara," replied the new woman in the know named Ayu and one of the ART in Oma's mansion.

Oma and doctor Bayu look frowned and looked at each other.

"Meri, what does she need in the morning to come to my house? tumben once," murmured Oma, from the look on her face and tone of speech, Oma seemed to dislike the arrival of her guest.

"Oma, let Bayu take Oma to meet him," pleaded the doctor. Oma glanced at me." No need to pay, you just take your friend for breakfast. Let Oma be the same Sukma who met your stepmother. Oma will catch up with you, "push Oma, and then she leaves and is followed by Aunt Sukma. After Oma and Aunt Sukma left, doctor Bayu invited me to breakfast.

In the middle of me and doctor Bayu already at the dinner table but has not started breakfast because it is still waiting for Oma, the person who is waiting came.

"Morning had upset the snake woman." Oma grumbled, she looked really upset. Aunt Sukma swiftly pulled the chair and then Oma sat on the chair that had been pulled by Aunt Sukma.

Me and doctor Bayu just saw their arrival. What else Oma came suddenly grumbling annoyed.

"Patience, don't be emotional. I was afraid that Oma's tension would go up again" Sukma's aunt said, then sat down in a chair beside Oma.

"What is Oma, Sukma's aunt?"Doctor Bayu asked the two old women whose faces looked sour.

"How not to be emotional, the morning the petty woman asked Oma to release Oma's shares in the company led by your father Bayu."Oma explained the cause of her frustration.

"I mean Oma, mama Meri asked Oma to release Oma shares as much as fifty percent in Unity Corp? is it that easy?"Doctor Bayu asked back.

"Yes bay, Oma was afraid for a long time that your stepmom instigated your papa. Therefore, Oma asks you to stop being a bay doctor, then focus on Unity Corp."

Doctor Bayu sighed and then leaned his back.

"It is not that easy Oma, Oma herself knows that Bayu's mind from childhood just wants to be a doctor, and Bayu's passion is to take care of the sick not take care of business. Bayu can not dabble in the company because it is not Bayu Oma's passion."

Oma breathed a big breath.

"Bay, do you know why Oma keeps the remaining shares? Oma just wants to maintain what should have been your right to pay, Oma has told you that Unity Corp is a company founded by your opa and assisted by your late mother, Oma, while your papa helped raise her after marrying your mama. Before your opa died she asked your mama and your papa to take care of her because your oma can't take care of her alone. But, after four years of opa died your mother died after giving birth to your sister, and the fate of your sister came with your mother to leave us. Then who else is Oma's hope if you don't pay? because you're the only one of Oma's descendants left. Besides, don't you feel sorry for your mom and opa who worked so hard to build that company?"

Doctor Bayu looked silent and pinched his forehead, while I only listened to the chatter between the grandmother and the granddaughter. They talked about their wealth in front of strangers like me as if I were not in their midst.

"Bay, your Oma is so old, Oma doesn't know how long the god of love Oma lives. If God takes Oma's life later, it's like Oma isn't ready if you haven't entered Unity Corp because Oma won't be sincere if the company falls into their hands completely."

If I notice from what Oma is talking about she doesn't seem to like doctor Bayu's papa what else is her stepmom. Like there are gaps or disputes of family company problems.

Doctor Bayu advanced his seat and stared fixedly at Oma." Why is Oma talking about death? Bayu doesn't like Oma talking like that."

"If you don't want to lose Oma eat her you follow Oma's wishes. And one more bay, please quickly give Oma a great-granddaughter, quickly find a companion what else your age is mature enough."

Seemed jakun doctor Bayu up and down like he was trying to swallow his saliva. Then her gaze turned to me who was sitting beside the table. I who was coincidentally looking in his direction hurriedly lowered my face. Oma follows the direction of doctor Bayu's view.

"Oh my god, because of the arrival of the snake woman and upset, Oma so forget this beautiful girl," said Oma, it seems like she just realized if there was me among the three of them. Though my body is quite tall and big but it turns out Oma did not see it.

I raised my face and tilted my gaze towards where Oma and Aunt Sukma were sitting.

"Gadis.." I said softly, did Oma not know that I am not a girl but a mother who already has one toddler. But it seems that Oma does not know because Bayu himself seems to have not told me about my whereabouts in his house just hitchhiking before looking for my son.

I smiled awkwardly at him." It's okay Oma. But, Oma still looks young and beautiful," I praise, not just boasting but the truth is that. Although already elderly but Oma looks fit and beautiful like still fifty years and under. Understandably, the name is also rich people with the money they have they can do physical care and health throughout his age.

"Ha ha, nak Nuri could have. Have you known each other for a long time?"asked Oma, looking at me and doctor Bayu alternately.

Doctor Bayu and I looked at each other. Then I choose silence and let the doctor Bayu himself answer it.

"Not yet Oma, it's only been a week."

"One Week!" rephrase Oma, with a voice rising by an octave. Her pupils slightly enlarged.

Me and doctor Bayu look at each other to see the look on Oma's face that looks surprised.

"Why would Oma know us only one week?"ask the new doctor.

"No, it's okay. Oma thought you guys had known each other for a long time. So you don't know each other yet?"

Me and Doctor Bayu look at each other again."It's Oma!"answer us at the same time. Oma looked smiling.

After we started to talk, we started to eat breakfast.

"Where do you live with Nuri?"ask Oma between meals.

"I live in an Oma village" I replied as I chewed on fried rice.

"Do you live with your family?"

I immediately swallowed the food I was chewing so that I would have no trouble answering Oma's next question. After the food entered my stomach, I answered.

"My father has been dead since I was five years old, my mother is currently in Cirebon for eight months. And I'm currently living with my second brother and my son Oma."

Oma stopped the movement of her hand which was initially stirring the fried rice.

"Child!"oma said and looked at me seriously.

I nodded."Yes Oma, I've had a toddler two years more."

Oma scrunched her forehead, I don't know what she's thinking about me. Then he glanced at the doctor Bayu but his grandson did not heed his glance but was busy eating as if he did not hear our chatter.

"So..are you married?" Oma asked again, it seemed like she was getting curious about my status.

I nodded slowly."I'm a single mom, Oma, and we're divorced."

"Oma, if Oma keeps asking when do you eat it? after breakfast, we're looking for Nuri's son." Suddenly the doctor Bayu interrupted the conversation of me and Oma, but since then he was silent and focused on eating only but his ears eavesdropped.

"Finding Nak Nuri's son, what does that mean?"

"The son of Nuri was taken away by her ex-husband yesterday morning and the baby wants to help look for her because it happens that her ex-husband works in this city of Jakarta."

Oma looked silent, with her mouth slightly open but no words came out of her mouth. I don't know what he's thinking either. Then he just had a little beard.

After I finished breakfast, I decided to return to my room to pack up my things that were there before leaving the house and looking for Zain.

After I finished packing I went back outside with my things. But when passing through a room whose door was half open, I faintly heard the sound of Oma talking to Sukma's aunt. I thought it was a coincidence because I had to tell them before I got out of this house.

As I was about to step inside, I heard their conversation talking about me. I paused my intentions and stood in place.

"Sukma, why is Bayu's friend so similar to Hanum?"

"Yes, Oma, they're like a betel on the other two. I was surprised the first time I saw it."

"Kok can be very similar to my son Sukma, has Bayu realized that his friend is very similar to his late mother so he brought his friend to this house?"

I was stunned to hear the chatter of Oma and Aunt Sukma. After that, I immediately felt my face, is it true that I am similar to Oma's son named Hanum the late mother doctor Bayu? but if it's true, why are we so similar? is it just by chance.
