The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Pura pura fainted


Actually I wonder why bang Supri could faint after arguing with Mr. Yanto. Is it possible to be hit by Mr. Yanto? but there were no visible wounds on the body of bang Supri. Having a heart attack? bang Supri has no history of heart disease. Then why? the incident of the stupor of the Supri bang became a puzzle for me because only Supri bang, Yanto sir and mother who know the real incident.


I'm the mother who sits next to the Supri bang. He's still crying. Is mom so sad to see her favorite son pass out? I put on a wry smile. I want to feel like I'm being held by my mother. Feeling lost to me like he did to bang Supri. But it seems like mom will never cry for me and will never feel like losing me even if I die.


Somehow I do not feel sad to see Supri bang passed out, just the opposite my feelings are ordinary. Is it possible because I have been hurt so often by him that this heart no longer has empathy for him.


I noticed the face of the Supri bang like there was something strange, especially on the eyes. Is that faint-headed person whose eyes blink? I looked again at the eyes of bang Supri closely. Her eyelids seemed to hold her eyes closed. I don't know why it crossed my mind that bang Supri just pura fainted. An idea suddenly appeared in my brain. I rushed into the house and I took my foot to the kitchen. I took a medium-sized bucket. After that, I lifted a tub filled with dirty water from the dishwasher and poured it into a bucket.


I went back out of the house while carrying a bucket. A nosy smile also fell on my lips because I will work behind people who have bullied my mother including myself. I stood on top of the Supri bang preparing to spill the contents of the bucket I was carrying.


Mother looked up at me and then widened her eyes because she saw me ready to spill the dirt.


"What the hell are you, Nur? your brother fainted again to flush with water." Mom's touch to me while glaring.


"Squealing with comb water is a powerful way to wake a person who is fainting Mom. Moreover, the stupor was over ten minutes." I said intentionally, right.


"don't your macem Nur, my son's time want you to flush with the water comberan? Don't act stupid you Nur!"


My son, yes my son. Mother admitted that Supri bang is her son then what about me that she never mentioned as her son? miris right? Mom said that my actions were stupid. So what about him crying over people who just pretend to faint? is that not a stupid act, either? Therefore, in order for him to realize his foolish actions then I must immediately wake up the person who was pretending to faint.


"I want to help mom not to cry bang Supri again. eat it away first Mom, so as not to be exposed to the comb water that I will spill into the body of bang Supri right now. I count to five.one..two..three...Lim....!" suddenly bang Supri toppled his body towards the left side avoiding the jumble that I had raised the height of his bucket.


Mother was surprised to see her favorite child who was fainting suddenly woke up after hearing about being doused by the water comberan.


"Look, let's not say that this water comberan is powerful to wake people who are pretending to faint. What is my stupid act, ma'am?" My insinuation to mom.


Mom didn't answer my question. I noticed he was staring in annoyance at the Supri bang who had just straightened his body.


Bang Supri looked up at me. I know he's getting mad at me.


"Basar brash sister. How dare you douse me with dirty water." The impact is fierce.


"The insolent is me are you bang? how dare to lie to the old man pura fainted all."


"Who said I was lying I really fainted be go."


"Where does anyone faint his eyes blink like a discotheque lamp."


Bang Supri was silent but her gaze remained unsettled towards me.


"Are you really pretending to faint Supri?" ask the mother with a serious face.


"Don't believe this stupid Nuri's talk, ma'am. I actually fainted, did you know for yourself how the chickenman punched me in the stomach." Bang Supri defended herself and I'm sure you believe the same lies.


"Ck, the same body as his big mouth. The power of mah memble lost big as skinny people like Mr. Yanto." I sneered at my sister who often oppresses me with her big mouth and body. I didn't know if he felt it or not, angry or not because I went straight into my house.


Because of taking care of Supri bang who pura pura fainted my work so unkempt. I looked at the clock on the wall already at five in the afternoon. I almost forgot I haven't bathed Zain this afternoon. I went to my room to see Zain. It looks like my son is sitting on a mattress holding his toy and turning to me.


"mama..!"zain said, standing on the bed. I approached her hugging and kissing her.


"Zain take a shower!" take me and Zain nodded.


While carrying Zain, I took my foot to the kitchen but when I arrived in the kitchen I found my mother was putting crackers in a large bag. I gaped at him. What do you want that cracker for? thought me. Long time my tongue itches too.


"Lho Bu, what's the cracker to do? I'm wrapping up for distribution to the stall tomorrow."


"You were brought by the same Supri made by the Yati." Say mommy lightly.


"Is it supposed to be that much, ma'am? so where are the crackers to sell tomorrow if you give as many crackers as Yati mba?"


"Tomorrow the Yati will hold Nur's birthday, ngundang people. I as a father-in-law it feels natural that I want to contribute something to the daughter-in-law. And these crackers make an extra menu later."


Again my mother defended her daughter-in-law rather than her own. Though his son-in-law never pay attention to mother but still in his trunk.


"okay, that means tomorrow there is no delivery of crackers and no receipt of money, ma'am." I made my word to mom so that tomorrow she does not nag me if she does not get money.


Mom looked towards me. Before mom said I left her first walk towards the bathroom.


"You'll be able to fry again Nur!" mom's screams echoed in the kitchen. I who was standing in the doorway turned towards him.


"Do you think the raw stock is still there? is the cooking oil still there? yesterday I told you the ingredients are up then why the capital money mom love to bang Supri?"


"Si Yati no longer needs Nur, what's wrong with me as a father-in-law to pay attention to my own daughter-in-law. After all you can buy material materials using your money first Nur. Do not count the same mother or brother of your great sin, Nur. do you want to go to hell?"


Again, the daughter-in-law who the mother defended.if in the film or novel story, usually the daughter-in-law who is often beaten by her in-laws but this is, if not, I as his biological son who was bullied by my own biological mother was not his son-in-law.


If only you knew how much money I get each month from my husband, maybe you would be a pity for me? gonna love me? or vice-versa? Butno. As a wife I must be able to maintain the dignity and dignity of my husband. I must take care of my husband's shortcomings or disgrace. I know and feel it enough.


"There's nothing wrong, ma'am, it's just my mother's way that's wrong" I replied quietly.


"What do you mean my wrong way, Nur?"


I didn't mind Mom's question. I closed the bathroom door and started bathing Zain. In the middle of bathing Zain, both corners of my eyes shed tears.
