The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Sunset

After revealing how I had felt all this time to Raihan, my heart felt plong, the heavy burden I carried felt reduced. I leave everything to God, because he governs the lives of all his people including my life and my soul mate's business. If God allows us to be fooled I am very grateful but if not I have to accept it sincerely.

Raihan clasped my hand tightly and occasionally kissed her. A smile continued to expand on his lips as if he was very happy.

"Thank you baby for replying to me. If only I knew that I liked me a long time ago maybe I'd married you even though I didn't have a KTP he."

I smiled broadly at the funny words he said and I felt quite amused.

"But, even though I don't have a ID yet, I'm sure that I'll be able to provide birth and death." Connect, full of confidence.

Again, I smiled broadly at her hearing.

"So, now we're officially a couple, huh mba?"

"You want?"I asked back.

"If I want her not a lover mba but.pair husband and wife, he he."

A smile expands on my lips. What he wants is my wish."Inshaallah Rai, may God match us."

"Amen."Raihan raised his hand high.

After that, Raihan turned his gaze somewhere."Want to see no sunset?"Ask her and I nod. I who never saw the sunset on top of the building was quite curious. Then Raihan flipped my body, saw the sun had shown its red light but still nangkring on top.

"Wait about ten more minutes baby, the sunset will appear."Said Raihan while stroking my shoulder.

"Would you just want to rest in the room, would you be tired, right?"haggar Raihan, when we were waiting for the sunset that began to appear on the western horizon which was seen above the height of the thirty-fifth floor precisely on the balcony of Raihan's apartment. In addition to the sunset, Jakarta city lights also began to appear to light up the city before dark. I became curious how the atmosphere of the city of Jakarta at night if you see it from the top of a towering building.

In the past, Andre had said Jakarta would look beautiful at night on top of the building when he took me first to Jakarta. At that time he had taken me to his apartment but the view in his apartment was not as beautiful as the view in Raihan's apartment today, in addition to displaying the view of towering skyscrapers and neatly lined up, here also looks beautiful sunset. Suddenly I remembered Andre, where was he? it had been eight days no longer to see the trunk of his nose. But even though I didn't see her, I didn't feel like I lost her at all.

"Wait for Rai, I still want to see the sunset until it looks perfect."Reject me slowly.

Raihan smiled then stroked the back of my head gently." Yeah, I've been living inside, haven't I, baby?"

I nodded, allowing him to leave me alone on the balcony.

After Raihan's departure, my eyes were fixed on the sun that began to set in the western horizon. It was getting dark, I thought back to my son Zain, how he ate, how he changed clothes and how he slept tonight. My poor son, why do you have to feel this bad, son? my tears are back. Before long, the voice of the Maghrib Adhan was heard echoing in the most famous mosque in Jakarta. Coincidentally Raihan's apartment is located adjacent to the mosque. I think it is better to pray first, because in addition to the obligation of prayer can also calm my heart and mind.

"Mba, are we praying together?"take Raihan when I'm about to enter the room but undo it.

"Rai, but.."

"Mukena? I've prepared and stored in the closet mba." Before I continued my sentence Raihan first mentioned the worship equipment I needed as if he understood what I was going to talk about. I smiled happily and thanked him.

We pray Maghrib congregation, Raihan as my priest and I as his master. We are like a married couple who are performing worship together but in fact not. We are not a married couple but I hope that one day our status will change completely into a married couple.

In the middle of praying, my tears came back. I remember Zain, how did he sleep tonight? my son is too young and doesn't understand what.

My noisy cries disturbed Raihan who was solemnly thinking. He stopped his dhikr and tilted his body to look at me.

"Crying again?"Then he came closer and grabbed my body. I shed my tears in his arms.

"I miss Zain Rai, I miss my son."Said me between sobbing and in Raihan's arms.

"Yes, honey, I understand. I miss Zain too. We must be patient and pray that Zain will soon be found."Gently and patiently, Raihan advised me who came back less sane.

I cried long enough that my tears started to dry on their own. Raihan also released his embrace from my body which was still wrapped by the face after feeling I no longer cry. I know maybe accidentally or accidentally we have committed a small sin of contact with non-muhrim. But again I say that we are not holy men who do not escape the word sin.

Raihan first came out of the room and I will follow after cleaning the worship equipment first.

After being not far from the minimalist kitchen that looks modern and beautiful, it appears Raihan using an apron is busy there.

"Ehem, what do you want to cook Rai?"I asked, as he approached her and stood beside her.

Raihan glanced at."Uh, there's mba, I'm so surprised."

"Well, I didn't surprise you!"

"Yes, I'm surprised there's an angel next to me." Raihan started to fight. I pressed my lips forward, but my gaze noticed his deft hand movements.

I offered to help her cook but Raihan refused, saying he didn't want to exhaust me. He asked me to wait for him or rest in the room. I also according to then walk towards the long sofa and set a slim TV that is very large like a cinema screen.

A faint faint sound could be heard of someone repeatedly mentioning the name mba. Besides, I also felt a delicate caress on my right cheek. Slowly I open my eyelids look handsome face Raihan is smiling sweetly at me. I immediately sat down.

"Rai.." I said, half-conscious.

"Mba overslept." Raihan said and sat down next to me.

Yes, I fell asleep while watching TV and waiting for Raihan to finish cooking and I don't know how long I've been asleep on the couch.

"What time is Rai?"

"Half nine and it's been two hours I've been waiting to wake up. He he."

"Well!" I look at Raihan.

"I'm sorry I woke up. We eat first yuk, later after eating mba continue to sleep again."

I haven't had time to reply to Raihan first build me from sitting and then lead me to the dining table. After that, he sat me in a chair. On the table there are various kinds of menus and look delicious and tantalizing my tongue. I did not expect other than good, very young, handsome, established, smart, loving little children, it turns out Raihan is also a cook. One word for him as a man as well as a man's dream is "perfect."

We ate in silence and heard only the clang of the spoon and the sound of the tongue. Raihan's cuisine is so delicious that I who can only cook the style of village food become insecure with him.

At ten o'clock in the night, I could no longer close my eyes after two hours of falling asleep after Maghrib. I was in my room and I came out. Raihan didn't see where I thought maybe he was in his room.

I opened the glass door to the balcony and after being on the balcony I looked in amazement. True Andre said that Jakarta is very beautiful if at night by the flickering lights that illuminate.

In the middle of me enjoying the view of the city of Jakarta that looks very beautiful, arrived two hands circular on my stomach, a chin perched on my left shoulder. From the familiar embrace and the smell of mint breath, I knew that the person who was hugging me from behind right now was none other than Raihan, the man I had already acknowledged as my lover was even my future husband.

I let her hug me because I needed a hug to strengthen my fragile feelings in the midst of losing my son.

"I went to my room but nothing. It turns out my angel is here." Raihan.

"I'm in Rai's room, and I'm not sleepy anymore."

"Did you like to see the city?"

I nodded slowly.

"Then we get married tomorrow just so we can stay the same here and can enjoy the view of the city every night."

"Married tomorrow? is it that easy? after all, my Iddah is still two weeks away Rai and my mother has not returned. I can't get married without my blessing and my mother's knowledge, let alone that I don't know that I'm divorced with Surya's mas." I did not reject Raihan's invitation to get married tomorrow but I just explained that I still have Iddah and my mother who has not returned home. Because even though the blessing of parents I really hope even though all this time mother never loved me.

Raihan flipped my body so that we faced each other and looked at each other under a dim light.

"I'll wait until whenever mba." After saying that, she put a kiss on my lips and I returned a kiss that felt soft and sweet. Once again, Satan has succeeded in tempting two sons of man who love each other and are weak in faith.
