The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Enter mall

I stuck myself in the big mirror inside the toilet. I noticed my appearance starting from the tip of the head to the waistline seemed to be as neat as before.

After feeling my appearance was perfect I walked away from the toilet. But when I was about to open the door accidentally my tail glanced at the pair of high heel still lying on the floor.

"Do I bring out who knows who's outside."My monologue. But I rethink what if the woman is no longer outside then where should I give the high heel later. After cradling the nimang I finally chose to leave it alone and then continue my steps out of the toilet.

When I got back to the seasonal taste and from a distance I saw Raihan was talking seriously with a woman whose face was not clearly visible. But if I look at the clothes she's wearing, I think I know who that woman is. She was like a frightened woman looking at me in the toilet.

"Who is that woman? Does Raihan know her?" My muttering.

I was thinking of taking the high heel that he left behind as long as his people were around, especially Raihan knew him. But before I turned around to go back to the toilet, the woman first went without using footwear.

After the woman's departure from the seasonal taste I walked towards the two men who were waiting for me. Raihan glanced at me and gave me a sweet smile and I returned."Baby already?" Ask her when I'm gonna sit in my chair.

"It." I answered and glanced at the empty Zain porridge bowl.

"Lho, the porridge's up, son."

"Yes, Zain, I've been bribing you." It was not Zain who said it but Raihan.

I glanced at him." Thank you Rai, I trouble you constantly."

"Who is troublesome and who is troubled? I am a future husband and will be a father, Zain said. Please deh, from now on do not talk troublesome and troublesome. I don't want to hear that word again out of mba's mouth." Raihan said at length. When seen from the look on his face he looks upset.

I smiled seeing her pouting face. My young husband-to-be looks so cute if he puts on that face."Okay, I'm not gonna talk like that anymore."

"Well, I ate first." He said with a happy smile.

"Rai.." I said between meals.

"Why baby?"

"Do you know that woman?"

Raihan looks to frown at her forehead."Which woman does mba mean?" He asked back.

"The woman was talking to you."

"Ooh." Raihan nodded."Did you see us talking?"

"I accidentally saw it."

"What is jealous?"

I shook my head slowly.

"Don't be jealous baby, Aunt Meri already has a husband even already have a daughter the age of mba."

I was silent to hear Raihan mention the name of the woman. A name like her is no stranger to my ears. I tried to remember the owner of the name but my memory apparently could not last longer or quickly forget.

"Why bengong?"Raihan roused me from daydreams.

"Oh, sorry Rai."

"Mba why the hell?is there a problem?"

"Rai, can I ask you a question?" I asked back.

"Ask me. What would you ask?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, okay?"

"I just want to know who Aunt Meri is?"

"He..his mother...Nura." Say Raihan slowly and heartily. Maybe he's afraid I'd be jealous if he mentioned the name of an ex-lover he didn't consider.

"Name Nura?" At that moment my pupils were slightly rounded. I just remembered Oma the baby doctor once told me the name of Mama Nura as well as stepmother doctor Bayu. It is only fitting that besides his name which is familiar to my ears his face was once seen when Raihan chatted with Nura and his parents at a restaurant.

"Yes dear. You're not angry, are you?" Ask Raihan. It wasn't about jealousy or anger that I wanted to ask Raihan but my astonishment at the woman why she was scared to see me.

I shook fast." I'm not angry and neither is Rai jealous. I'm just wondering."

"What a wonder why mba?"

"So when I..."

"Mama, Zen wants that!" zain said between the sidelines we chatted seriously while pointing in a direction.

Raihan and I looked in the direction she was pointing."Oh, Zain wants a toy like that brother's?"Raihan asked gently while pointing at a toddler who was playing a control robot on the table.

Zain nodded."Yes papa, what's bole?"

"Bby dong. After breakfast we buy okay." Raihan said to calm my son who does not usually ask for something because Zain had never neko neko asked to buy something to me but Raihan and myself who bought something for him.

"Rai, don't be spoiled with money or excess I'm afraid Zain will be a spoiled child who must be followed by all his will."

"As far as Zain is concerned, this time Zain asked to buy a toy mba. All this time we have been buying it without knowing what toys Zain really wants because we buy it at our own will. For this time let Zain choose for himself what he wants dear."

I swallowed my saliva after arguing her happy little. It turns out Raihan is more deaf to the wishes of a toddler Zain's age than I am. Though Raihan is not who Zain is but just a papa candidate, but it turns out I lost attention.

Raihan took me and Zain out of seasonal tastes after we finished our breakfast.

"We're going to the boutique first or looking for a toy for Zain mba?" Raihan asked when we were in the elevator.

"It's up to you how good Rai is." The one who wants a wedding is Raihan and the one who wants to buy a robot for Zain is him so I'll just go along with Raihan.

"We bought the robot first and then went to the boutique.

I nodded in agreement.

Raihan took us to a shopping center but not a shopping center that I had visited before but to a different mall.

"You're taking us to the mall, Rai?"Ask me after we're in the basement to park the car first.

"Yes mba, I mean just so we can look in the same place. What do you mind?"

I shook fast." It's up to you Rai."

"Why is it up to me?"

"Because you are my future priest." My temptation. Raihan smiled and stroked my head. After that he took my arm to enter the mall which looked very big.

Once inside the mall we entered a children's toy outlet. Raihan asks Zain to choose what kind of robot he wants. After getting the toy that Zain wanted, Raihan took me to a boutique that looked pretty big.

"Mas Raihan's.."Greet an employee to Raihan after we entered the boutique.

When we were chatting arrived three women who looked like modern women entered the boutique we were visiting. I know one of them who is none other than Nura Raihan's ex-lover as well as the woman who has insulted and doused me with mocktails in public places. But luckily the place was a little dimmed so not many pairs of eyes that saw when Nura flush me.
