The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Wedding dress preparation

Nura and her three friends entered the boutique laughing like they were laughing at a funny conversation. But at once Nura stopped her steps and laughter when she saw the existence of us who had been in the boutique that was only three meters away from her.

Nura was pecking and her face looked surprised but before long it turned into a haughty face and a sinister gaze towards us. I'm sure he must still be upset over Raihan's treatment of having slapped him while in a bar over the rooftop.

"Lho, isn't that Raihan your boyfriend, Ra? how come she's here with a pretty girl." One of Nura's friends suddenly chatted but Nura did not respond but added a cynical look at us.

I swallowed my saliva hearing his friend's words. They assume that Raihan is still Nura's lover. I lyrics Raihan, his face looks flat looking at them. After that, he turned his gaze toward the woman I just knew as the owner of the boutique we visited.

"Can we fit a wedding dress in two weeks, mba Raya?" Ask raihan.

The tail of my eyes glanced at Nura, her haughty face turning back into a shocked face hearing Raihan's question at the boutique owner.

"Will the marriage of Rai and Mba Nuri last two weeks?" Mba Raya asked back.

"True mba, inshaallah we will have a wedding in two weeks."

"What married!"speaking loudly one of Nura's friends then looked at each other with his other friend and their gaze turned towards Nura whose face had turned red.

"Ra, didn't she say yesterday that you want to marry Raihan soon? but why would she marry that woman?" Ask one of his friends." Yes Ra, actually he's your boyfriend, isn't he? I'm not your girlfriend if I look." The other friend also asked in a cornered tone. Nura glanced in annoyance at the two friends then glanced back at us.

"You wanna know? That woman is the actor who took Raihan from me." Said Nura while staring intently at me.

I gasped at her loud words and hateful looks. He thinks I'm the actor who took Raihan away from him.

"What a perakor!"said his friend.

"Yes, she's a poor widowed actor..."

"Aw, ouch!" Nura complained and grimaced while holding his head that was hit by the throw of a toy belonging to Zain. I was quite surprised to see the treatment of Raihan who had thrown the toy towards Nura so that it hit his head.

The two friends of Nura were no less surprised by me and then looked at each other. I don't know what they think about Raihan's treatment.

"Don't you tell me Ra, you're once again saying my future wife is not just your head that I threw with my son's toy but your mouth that I'm going to throw with my shoes."Said Raihan.

Nura appears to be raising her pupils while holding her head to hear Raihan's threat. Pretty funny expression in my opinion. Raihan's treatment seemed unexpected and what Raihan had done was enough to embarrass him to the two friends.

"What did you call that little boy your son?" Ask one of Nura's friends. He seemed very curious to hear Raihan's false confession.

"Yes, my son. Why? don't you see our resemblance?"

Two of Nura's friends fell silent and noticed Raihan and Zain's faces."But Nura said you guys...."

"Don't hear that woman's bullshit. Just so you know that I never considered him my lover let alone my future wife. Figured of marrying her only I never. She was the one who overdone asking me to be her lover and expected more from me. And one more thing you should know is that my future wife is not an actor. I've been in a relationship with him long before I knew your friend who was a liar."

Both of his friends seemed to frown and turned to Nura."Then yesterday you were lying to us if you were going to marry Raihan." Say one of his friends." Geez Nura, you lied to us. Continue to take us to this boutique if the talk of Lo only halu." Another friend cornered him.

Nura who felt cornered changed his misbehavior. He felt ashamed of his two friends for lying to them. And in a cornered state Nura stomped her feet and just left her two friends.

The two women looked at each other and the head gnarleds looked at Nura's back who was walking towards the door. After that, they went to follow him.

"Mas Rai, how does the matter of the wedding dress go?" The owner of the boutique asked. Me and Raihan turned our eyes to her.

"Yes mba, sorry we made a mess at the boutique mba."

"It's okay, Rai, after all they first act. Emm continues how to want a special fitting or fitting dress that is already available."

"Rai, is it best to choose the finished one? the time is too tight. I'm afraid I'll be a catheter." I hunt for a proposal.

"But I want to give you something special, baby."

"Rai, you just took me to this boutique already did a very special thing."

"But do you mind if you wear a wedding dress that is not special?"

"Why should you mind. I'm sure the dress here is nice and expensive."

"Well, if that's what mba wants." Raihan glanced towards the mba Raya." My wife-to-be wants a dress that's already been mba. Em, please choose the best and most expensive dress in this boutique ya mba."

"Ready mas Rai." Then Mba Raya took us to a special area of wedding dresses. After being in the area I was quite amazed to see a variety of models of wedding dresses that look elegant and beautiful. Mba Raya explained one by one about the wedding dress that was displayed and assisted by a staff.

When mba Raya explained in detail from the many dresses on display, my eyes were on one dress that I thought was really classy, elegant and very beautiful. A milky white wedding dress with all her beads.

"What if I order this one, Rai?" I asked for his opinion. Raihan who was standing next to me noticed the beautiful dress from neck to tip that dangled almost to the floor.

"Emm, good too, baby. Do you want this one?"

I'm nodding.

"Great Mother my wife wants this dress." Mba Raya approached us.

After giving it a try and fitting it perfectly into my body, Raihan ordered the dress that I personally chose with thirty-five million. At first I wanted to undo because the price was too expensive but Raihan still ordered the dress and did not care about the price.

Raihan glanced in the middle of driving."Why sweetheart?"

"Where will our wedding be?"

"If it's held in Jakarta think you agree not?"

"In Jakarta?"

"Yes, because my acquaintances are many in Jakarta mba. But if you disagree, it doesn't matter. Wherever the most important place we can get married is."

"I. Give it all up just like you Rai. It's up to you where and how the concept is."

"really?"

I'm nodding. I think it's better that I leave it all to Raihan because he wants a wedding and he's going to fund our marriage. After all in the village I do not have many friends who are only subscriptions crackers. Maybe later in the village I'll have a little thanksgiving.

"Are we going back to the hotel again, Rai?"

"Mba wants us to go back to the hotel or.."

"When do I want to go home?"

"Why should the rush mba, indeed mba mba not miss me?"

"It's not Rai, it's my job.."

"Mba don't worry, I've told bang Supri and mba's friend who sotoy to take care of mba factory while in Jakarta."

"Hah, get a bang Supri. How can you.."

While driving Raihan scratched his nape and smiled smirked.

"So you've been all this time..."

"Ehem, yes I want to say that during my anger with me, I often exchange information with bang Supri. So even though I did not see mba directly but through bang Supri I know mba activities in the village. Mba tau, my cell phone gallery is full of photos of activities mba he he."

It is fitting that bang Supri often photograph my activities in a conscious state or it does not turn out that photo he sent to Raihan.

"You guys, it's the same as the nyebelin."

Raihan laughed crisply.

"But how do you take Zain, Rai? what's the Supri bang delivering it to you?"

"Not."

"Want to?"

"I took Zain myself when I fell asleep."

"I can't you and I don't realize. Does my mom know?"

"Tau, but bang Supri gave the money shut up."

"Sumi?"

"No, that one mba friend is coming. If he finds out, he'll tell you that I kidnapped Zain."

Sumi did not like the attitude of Raihan who was cold when he met in the hospital when Mariam's mother was hospitalized. So too with raihan. But after I told her that the one paying for her mother's hospital fee was raihan, Sumi was no longer upset with her.

In the middle of a cool chat did not feel we were already in the basement of Raihan's apartment.

"You're taking us to your apartment, Rai?" I asked when Raihan opened his seatbelt.

"Will we go back to the hotel?" Raihan asked back.

I shook my head quickly.

"Why?"

"It's okay. I. I just don't want us to have one room."

Raihan smiled."Mba need not worry. Even though we're one room I won't have the heart to tarnish mba before I can be my life's legal partner."

"Mom.that's not what I mean. I. I believe in you. It's just that what people say when they see us sleeping in one room can be the material gossip people."

"Ha ha ha." Raihan laughed off. I was upset to see him laughing at me.

"Honey, this is in the city not in the village. No one will care if people want to do anything to live in one house without the bond of marriage. There will be no gossip or encouragement from neighbors. Living in the city is individual, his life each and no one will care about their respective affairs although there are actually still people who like to interfere in the lives of others but only a small part."

What Raihan said was true what else the people he lived in the apartment were. Let alone ghibah or rumpi, greeting between neighbors one flat is very rare.
