The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
In the bribe of Mr. Bagas

After they finished eating Bagas pamit returned home but after Maghrib he said he would come back again. Before he came out of the ward he approached me and stroked my head.

"I'll be home for a minute!"

I nodded slowly and gave a faint smile to her.

I stared at the back of Mr. Bagas as he walked towards the exit with a nano feeling. I don't know what I'm feeling right now.

"Darling, are you eating now?"

I turned my gaze to Raihan who was stirring the porridge ready to feed me then nodded.

"Try opening his mouth slowly, dear. Your stomach should be filled with food even if it's just a little."

I obeyed his orders to open my mouth a little. Raihan patiently bribed me. Although the porridge was bitter on my tongue but I had to eat it because in addition to appreciating it I also had to recover quickly from my pain so as not to bother it too long.

Five mouthfuls smoothly and into my stomach but the mouthful to my six stomach felt nauseous once and then vomited all my stomach contents back. Raihan patiently and painstakingly cleaned my vomit scar without any disgust.

The doctor who handled me and a nurse arrived to enter my room after Raihan had just finished cleaning up the vomit marks.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Raihan and Mr. Nuri."Greet the doctor as he walks towards us.

"Good afternoon doc." Raihan greeted back.

"We'll check again, Miss Nuri." Raihan's staying away from me because the doctor's gonna get me back.

"So, he always spits out the food he eats. Then continue how can get nutritional intake for his body." Raihan told me what had happened repeatedly when I ate I always vomited as if my stomach could not accept food intake.

"Can't you feed the nutrients through just a hose doc?"

"Can Mr. Raihan. But giving a nasogastric tube only to patients who really can not eat through the mouth like a coma or so on. While Bu Nuri can still chew right and only her stomach that can not accept food intake. This is natural to occur in every patient and to overcome the Raihan pack must continue to provide food intake. Do not be forced to eat a lot. A little or in the pause like one or two spoons in an hour and then the next hour is given again with the same amount."

"So doc!"

"Yes, Rai sir."

Raihan followed the doctor's advice. He fed me two spoons of porridge every hour and what the doctor suggested did not make me nauseous and vomit.

"Rai, i.mau.pipi." Say it slowly.

"Dear, you pee on the bed let me get you a container."

I shook my head quickly what it was like to pee on a mattress in a container, of course, uncomfortable.

"I.mau.ke.to the bathroom."

Raihan was silent for a long time it seemed that he was thinking.

"Yes already." Without speaking again Raihan lifted my weak body and brought the infusion pole into the bathroom.

After being in the bathroom she sat me in a sitting closet that had been opened before her.

"I'm waiting here. Take it easy I won't see." After saying he turned around, his gaze was directed at the bathroom door.

At first I felt uncomfortable urinating in front of a man who was not my husband. But because Raihan kekeh did not want to get out of the bathroom, I would not want to do it.

"It's over, baby!" Raihan asked while I was justifying the location of my pants.

"It." Raihan turned towards me and then revealed a sweet smile. I was embarrassed for him. He lifted my body again and brought an infusion hose and took me outside the bathroom.

After being outside the bathroom, Bagas was sitting on the sofa with Zain and his eyes were on us.

"Lho, there's Bagas. When I entered I did not hear." Raihan said as he walked towards the bed.

"You'll be in Rai's bathroom again, where you might hear."

"Yes, too." Then Raihan put me on the bed and covered my body.

"Has Nuri been fed Rai?"

"Doctors suggest being fed just a little bit, sir, because the stomach has not been able to accept food intake perfectly."

"Mama, papa, Zen has a shady mob." Zain suddenly spoke and walked towards us while carrying a toy in his hand. Then he showed us a remote car and I estimated it cost millions.

Raihan crouched down to align his height with Zain."Well, who gave Zain this nice mobby?" asked Raihan in a complimentary tone.

"Well!"said Zain while pointing at Mr. Bagas.

"Ohh, does Zain keep saying that Opa's the same?"

"Maacih."

Raihan fussing at Zain's pointed nose." Papa's son is smart." said Raihan. I just smiled faintly at the conversation between Raihan and Zain.

Then Raihan stood up and walked towards the sofa and sat facing Bagas.

"Wouldn't Nura be looking for Mr Bagas?"

"The boy was late this very rarely looking for me and I rarely met him. Nura often said that she stayed overnight and accompanied her friends who lived alone because her parents were abroad."

"Sorry before her sir, is Mr. Bagas sure that Nura often nginap at his friend's house."

"I'm sure because I checked it directly into his friend's house and he was there. Anyway I believe Nura's a sweet kid there's no way she's doing neko neko out there."

Raihan saw a small mangosteen mangosteen hearing the long sentence Mr. Bagas. I hope that what Bagas said was true and what I saw about the testpack was easily not his, who knows what belongs to someone else who was entrusted to him.

Time has shown ten o'clock at night but Mr. Bagas is still in my ward.

"It's best for Mr. Bagas to go home and rest at home. Especially tomorrow you have to work! I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to drive out." Raihan said to Mr. Bagas who was playing his phone.

Mr. Bagas turned to Raihan and smiled." I want to stay here Rai, I want to sleep with Zain. Tomorrow I'll just go to work from here."

It was like a dream to hear Mr. Bagas say. Didn't think he wanted to stay at a place that was not worthy of him let alone accompany me and Zain who in fact is not who he is.

"Is Mr Bagas seriously sleeping here?"

"Yes I'm serious." Then he got up from the sofa and approached Zain who was sleeping on a fur mattress. After which, he flushed his body beside Zain. Raihan looks dumbfounded to see Mr. Bagas as well as me. Then Raihan looked towards me."Not yet bobo baby?" Ask her Later.

I shook my head slowly.

Raihan got up from his seat and approached me. He pulled the chair and sat on it."Go to sleep, it's night." Then he stroked elus the tip of my head for a long time until I fell asleep.

After the nurse's departure I glanced to the side it turned out Raihan was languishing fine. He slept in a sitting position and put his cheek on the bed right next to my head. I elus slowly shoots his head so that he does not feel disturbed and then woke up.

While stroking Raihan's head I glanced towards two other men of the generation who were sleeping soundly under using a fur mattress with the position of Bagas pack hugging Zain. They look like a grandfather and a grandson. I smiled at him and imagined that my father was still alive and that right now embracing Zain was my father, Zain's grandfather.

It turned out that the rubbing of my hand on Raihan's head disturbed his sleep. He sits down.

"What is in the love! sorry I overslept." Raihan looked worried, maybe he thought I woke him up.

I'm shaking slowly."I'm sorry, I'm disturbing your sleep."

Raihan sighed." I think you want something. Why not bobo?"

"I.awakened."

"Yes, it's bobo again!" Raihan looked at the clock that was coiling in his hand." It's still two o'clock, baby." He said, then stroked elus the tip of my head again so that I would fall asleep. The treatment of Raihan is exactly like the treatment of putting a child to sleep. But even so I felt comfortable in elus elus by him.

Even though my eyes were closed but I didn't sleep a hundred percent. In this state of pain where it is possible to sleep well. My ears can still catch the sound of the sounds around clearly.

"Sir Bagas is going home now?" Raihan's voice was heard asking Bagas sir.

"I'm going straight to Rai's office. I can shower there. Besides there's also a work shirt so I don't have to go home anymore."

"But, Mr. Bagas hasn't had breakfast yet."

"Don't think of me Rai, think of Nuri and Zain because they need you more. If not who else. The proof is that his family, no one came here."

"Yes sir."

"Yes I've left first. I will try to come here again."

"When you don't bother. I don't want Mr. Bagas to be exhausted later."

"Not bothered. I am glad that there is Zain. Understandably, I am old enough to have grandchildren but my two children do not seem to want to give grandchildren to me."

"It's okay to think of Zain as my own grandson?"

"It is with pleasure, Bagas. The more Zain loves the better. Moreover, Zain from birth was never loved by the people closest to him. Like his biological father, his grandparents even Nuri's biological mother never loved Zain."

"Oh my God, you have so much pity."

"I don't understand what Nuri's wrong so Zain is hated by them."

"Did her ex-husband never do well with Nuri?"

"Know me like that sir. Nuri married for an arranged marriage. And thankfully Zain was born not similar to her ex-husband but rather similar to me hehe."

"Ha ha ha, you have Rai. Yes, then I go first and say my greetings as if he had woken up."

"Yes sir, I'll tell you."

Silent.

A gentle kiss landed on my forehead and in that instant I opened my eyes." Rai...!"

Raihan smiled broadly." Sorry I built you."

I shook my head slowly.

"Sir Bagas?"

"He's gone and he says hello to you."

I smiled thinly.

"Wheels..!"

"He'em, why baby?"

"Why.pak Bagas know I'm in the hospital?"

"Oh, I told her when she called me asking how you are, baby."

"Why.pak Bagas well with me, Rai?"

Raihan was silent he seemed to think but then he shook his head." I don't know, honey. I'll ask you later."

The door opened and two nurses came in and approached us.

"Sorry sir, mba Nuri must be on the lap first his body." Said one of them.

"Oh yes please." Then Raihan moved away from me and approached Zain who was playing the remote car. After that, he carried her and walked again towards the bed.

"Darling, Zain and I went out and bought some food."

I nodded slowly.

"Oya mba sister, if it is finished on the lap and I have not returned please do not stay first! wait till I come."

"Yes sir."

After ordering Raihan and Zain out of the room and the two sisters started wiping my body.

In the afternoon before the Maghreb and when Raihan was bathing Zain in the bathroom, the door opened and a middle-aged man entered and still looked handsome walking towards me, smiling and carrying some papers bag in his hand.

"Sir...Bagas!"

"Good afternoon Nuri, how are things today?"

"Alhamdulilah have been more silent sir."

"Thank God I'm glad to hear that. Oya, I brought porridge for you who knows you are bored with hospital porridge and want to try a new one. It's also a hundred percent healthy porridge made from rice, salmon and vegetable. You wanna try?"

I smiled and then nodded. I don't know why I didn't want to turn down his offer and would love to eat what he's bringing right now.

Mr. Bagas smiled then hurriedly walked towards the sofa and placed three paper bags on the table. After that, he came back to me with a box of porridge that was so fragrant once in my nose.

Mr. Bagas pulled out a chair and sat down with it." I'm a bribe huh?" his words while stirring the porridge that looks still steaming and a smile that continues to lie on his lips.

I did not refuse it but nodded. Then he thrust the porridge towards my mouth and I opened my mouth and chewed slowly.
