The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Mom's Arrival

The next day.

In the morning me and bang Supri came to the mango tree back to bring down Mr. Yanto while carrying a ladder that is quite long and heavy. While Zain I leave it to Sumi who came to my house earlier. Arriving at the mango tree it appears that Mr. Yanto is still hanging either in a state of fainting or sleeping. It's too bad to see it.

"Bang quickly put it down Mr. Yanto pity." I told the Supri bang who still did not move but just pay attention to it from below.

"Nur, breathe first." Naturally, if bang Supri looks bored because he brought the long stairs himself without my help.But make no mistake, not I do not want to help him but he himself refused.

"Woey, Mr. Yanto wake up!" The loud cry of Supri bang did not make Mr. Yanto reply. Bang Supri called again but she still did not answer.

"He was actually sleeping what a fainting ya! if I pass out like it's hard I nurunin'nur."

"So we have to bang. It's about people's lives."

"We have to seek help, Nur."

"But where is bang? our house is just a neighbor of Yanto."

When we were thinking of a way to bring down Mr. Yanto, from a distance not too far away and still in the garden area was seen a man and I knew him as the owner of the garden as well as the owner of the large mango tree.

"Bang, it's the owner of this garden!" point me at the man who's about to cut down an over-dragging branch down.

"What a coincidence, call quickly, Nur."

"Sir zainal!" I screamed to call him. Twice the call he just heard my screams and walked over.

"Lho, Nur, why is it in my garden in the morning." Ask Zainal when he is near us.

"That's sir!" point me up. Zainal sir is following my index finger. Instantly his eyes widened." That, that's who killed himself, Nur." He said with a surprised face.

"It wasn't suicide sir, it was Mr. Yanto and somehow the story goes that he got stuck on a mango tree in this garden. I would like to ask the same sir zainal please help bang Supri to lower him sir."

"Oh, yes, let's put it down."

After that, the zainal pack and the Supri bang began to climb the tree. After painstaking efforts, Yanto finally can be dropped from the top of the mango tree. Bang Supri checked his heartbeat and breathing still sounded normal and grateful Mr. Yanto just fainted. Then I told them to take him to his house while I returned home because the mother who wanted to work seemed to have arrived.

I'm back home. But after arriving home I was surprised by the arrival of a mother who had long gone without news. A mother who runs away from her debt responsibilities. A mother I missed for almost a year.

Mother turned her head towards me with a flat expressionless look. He looked thin and wrinkled and his skin looked black and dirty like unkempt. I was quite surprised to see his physical changes. In the past, before she went the mother's body looked white and white because the mother never did any work except eating, sleeping, grafting and walking. So what happened there that mom looked different.

"I miss mom!" after speaking in my glass-shaded eyes I immediately hugged his thin body. I cried while hugging her but mother did not respond to my embrace. He was as cold as he was before he left. Not even a single word came out of his mouth.

"Where did mom actually go? why so long? why don't you tell us, Mom?" While hugging him I gave a series of questions but none of my questions were answered. He remained silent as well as a stiff body.

After that, I let go because my mother did not return my embrace. In my mind I asked. Why are you still being cold and indifferent to me when we have not met for a long time. Don't you miss me like I miss her? I wiped my tears. I thought it was useless for me to cry because she never understood how I felt.

"Mother.." arrived bang Supri came and greeted mother.

"Sus...The soup!" Speak to the mother with a twinkle in her eyes.

The way he looked at Bang Supri was very different from the way he looked at me. Mother looks happy to see her favorite child in front of her even she also returned the embrace of Supri bang. I was so envious to see my mother's treatment of my brother number two.

"Why are you in this house of soup? where's your wife Yati ? I miss her so much." Say mother. I who just put tea in front of him just smiled wryly because Mother would rather know the news of her daughter-in-law than me who incidentally her biological child. He never wanted to ask me about my situation as long as he was gone even if it was just a stale base.

"We're divorced, ma'am." Answer bang Supri.

"What's? why divorced? are you a good couple, why should you get divorced? you know that soup is mom.."

"Already Ma'am, please don't muji the Yati in front of me anymore. Don't you know how we've been since mom left? I had a brain tumor, and when I was sick, the Yati used to sleep with other men. He's a traitor Ma'am. When I was sick it was fortunate that my sister loved me and cared about me. Nuri took care of me, she also paid for my treatment until I recovered. Even now he's the one who gave me a place to live and work when I got out of my job."

After bang Supri told me a long story, mom glanced at me with a look that I could hardly understand. But soon he shifted his eyes back to the Supri bang.

"Want your son how, Soup?"Mother asked back.

"He's not my real son. Si Yati was already pregnant by another man before I married."

"What's? don't make you soup." I don't yet believe about the status of Supri's bang son.

"I've done a DNA test, ma'am. And it's been proven that Rendi's not my son. Si Yati's been lying to us all this time, ma'am.

Mom seemed silent, I didn't know what she was thinking.
