The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Zain is gone again


The hunger that initially hit my stomach suddenly disappeared when I saw my mother eating so greedily at the dinner table.


Mother ate my Padang rice but I was not angry but just let it go. Because I don't want to fight with him just because of the food.


I tried to think positively maybe mom was still hungry or was wanting to eat Padang rice even though she had only eaten an hour and a half ago. After all, mom never ate well while she was living in Cirebon so I didn't mind it either because I thought I could still fry the eggs and chili that were already on the table as a menu my lunch later.


Mother turned to look at me who was still standing staring at her."Why do you keep looking at me?"Ask the mother with a sniffle and show a flat face. I was a little surprised because this was the first time he asked or let out his voice on me after coming home from Cirebon.


I shook fast."No ma'am, please continue eating her, ma'am." After saying that, I stepped away from him. While walking I looked back and saw that my mother still saw me with a look that I could not understand.


As I got out of the kitchen and passed by the room of the Supri bang, my faint ears heard the noise of him chatting with someone on the phone and calling my name. I'm pretty curious why bang Supri is talking to someone calling my name. But I was thinking positively maybe bang Supri was chatting with one of the cracker subscriptions. I continued my steps towards my room and ignored the conversation again.


After being in the room, Zain still sleeps soundly even though he has not had lunch. Seeing Zain sleep feels like he wants to sleep next to her. A few yawns I finally broke down my body while hugging Zain and closed my eyes.


I don't know how long I slept until I woke up and I couldn't find Zain beside me. Then look me in the eye around the room who knows Zain is playing under the mattress but I did not find his existence.Where is Zain? she doesn't usually leave the room when I'm sleeping. Normally he would leave the room after I woke up because I always taught him so.


After that, I hurried down and went out of the room to look for Zain.


"Zain, Zain, Zain!" Repeatedly I shouted to him at the door of the room but Zain did not reply.


"It's really noisy!" Mother who was watching TV suddenly spoke upset because she was disturbed by my screams. I myself just realized the existence of the mother there so anxious her.


"Did you see Zain?"I did not heed her frustration but asked and who knew she was because she was in the TV room closer to my room.


"Where do I know where your son is? just look no." It turns out my guess was wrong. I think the mother sitting in front of the TV saw Zain out of the room but didn't even look. So was mother, she never cared for her own granddaughter from the past until now still so and no matter when she would love my child.


I no longer paid any heed to the existence and annoyance of my mother but continued my search. I walked to and fro looking for Zain's whereabouts until the corners of the room I was looking for but Zain I could not find.


"Oh my God, where are you?"


His one search place that hasn't been is outside the house. I rushed out of the house too. After being outside the house I searched to and fro to the yard owned by people but did not find his whereabouts.


My eyes are on the factory."Is Zain in the factory?" I didn't want to think any longer I walked straight to the factory in the hope that Zain would be there because it was the only place I hadn't been.


"Zain, Zayn!" Shouted me as I entered the factory. Arriving inside all eyes were on me including Sumi and bang Supri.


"Nur, are you screaming Zain is here?" Bang Supri asked with an astonished look.


"Where's Zain bang? is Zain here?" I asked enthusiastically while spreading my gaze to all corners.


"Lho, how do you ask Zain to me where do I know. The guy I was here with. Wasn't she sleeping with you?"


"Yes Nur, we haven't been out of here since noon. Try to find out who knows Zain is playing in the house." Sumi justifies the speech of bang Supri.


"Nothing, Zain nowhere where Sum is. I've been looking all over the corner of the room but Zain isn't there."


"Have you asked mom?"Ask bang Supri.


I shake weakly."I don't know where Zain is, bang." My tears began to fall imagining Zain lost in captivity again as he once did.


Sumi nodded then opened her gloves. Similarly, bang Supri opened the gloves and washed her hands.


Then me, Sumi and bang Supri came out of the factory after handing over to mom mother everything. After that, he began to look for the whereabouts of Zain.


After searching where none of us had found Zain. I'm starting to get nervous and nervous. My tears are falling back too.


"Prophey, Nur, be patient. Zain must be fine and will definitely meet." Bang Supri's words calmed me down while stroking my back elus.


"How can I be patient for my son to be lost again. I'm so scared that Zain was kidnapped again like he was."


"Jeez Nur, just think positive why. Let's just pray Zain's okay."


"Let's go find Mr. Yanto's house. Hasn't he ever had a problem with you guys? who knows if he's a grudge and then he's hiding Zain." Sumi's proposal arrived. He thought Mr. Yanto kidnapped Zain.


Me and bang Supri looked at each other. Is it possible that Mr. Yanto kidnapped Zain because we once let him hang on a tree? thought me.


"Do not accuse Sum, later his fall slander." Bang Supri.


"I'm not accusing her, but is it okay if we suspect her? where are you trying Zain?"


"Sul Sumi can also bang. What's wrong with us trying to go to Mr. Yanto's house."


"Yes already then. Let's go now."


After that we went to the house of Mr. Yanto through the path to penetrate directly into the yard of his house. Because, if the back of the penetrating factory to the back of his house and difficult to enter his yard because it is on the fence. Mr. Yanto is sneaky. The front yard of the house on the fence so as not to be littered by his chicken but the backyard is left so that his chicken can freely roam to get to the yard of my house that is not on the fence.


After arriving at the yard of Mr. Yanto, the door of his house seemed closed. Since that time, Mr. Yanto never again showed his nose, but his chicken still roamed in the yard of my house.


"Excuse me Mr. Yanto, Miss Yanto!" Sumi called the owner of the house while knocking on the door of her house but there was no confirmation from inside.


"Excuse me sir, Mrs Yanto!" Sumi repeated without despair. Until the third time the door was opened and then saw Mr. Yanto from behind the door. After seeing Mr. Yanto's condition I'm not sure if my son was kidnapped by him. It seems Mr. Yanto is in pain. His face was deathly pale, his forehead on the left and right koyo temple. In addition, his body also appeared weak. I'm sure I haven't seen him in a few days.


"Is there anything you rame came to my house? wanna hangover?"Ask Mr. Yanto slowly but cynically.


"Rounder? we're here to find Zain, did Mr. Yanto kidnap Nuri's son?" Ask Sumi.


Mr. Yanto's eyebrows seem to be linked to each other." Kidnapping, kidnapping who do you mean?"


"Sorry sir, I mean my friend we're here to ask my son Zain if he's playing here?" I immediately dropped Sumi's question so she wouldn't be offended.


"When has your son ever played in my house? never does. Then why are you looking for him here?"


"You're the...." I immediately held onto Sumi's arm to keep her quiet.


"Sorry sir, it's true that my son never played here. I just ask who knows who arrived Zain play to Pak Yanto's house. But if there's nothing, it's okay. I'm sorry sir has disturbed the rest Mr. Yanto, then we'll excuse me." I immediately pulled Sumi's arm away from Mr. Yanto's house before he spoke again. While bang Supri tailed behind us.


"If Zain is not with Mr. Yanto, then who took Zain away?"
