The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Pity

After finishing eating we continue our journey again but before we arrive at home I just remembered my goal of going home will also visit the two children of Surya.

"Rai, how about we go look at Surya's old boy?"

"Wouldn't we just go home, baby?"

"You're tired of not going back and forth. After this we'll have to prepare for our marriage."

"Well, if that's what you want."

"Thank you, yeah."

Raihan smiled and rubbed my head.

Raihan drove his car following my directions because Raihan had never been to the house of Ipah Saripah before.

"Where are we going?" Raihan asked when he arrived at a crossroads.

"Right turn." Raihan turned his car to the right."

After going through a long road we finally arrived in front of the Ipah house. In front of the house was a black car parked and the door was open.

"Is this the house, baby?"

"Yes, let's go down."

I went down as well as Raihan came down while carrying Zain.

We were standing next to the car watching the house.

"Like he's got a guest dear."

I haven't had time to chimed in Raihan's words until the sound of someone snapping sounded jarring in my ear. I gasped and before long the sound of crying and whining was heard coming from the Ipah house.

"No, I don't want to get out of my house. Take off my hands, let go."

Raihan and I looked at each other. I think something must have happened to the two children of Surya then without thinking about it again I stepped wide into the house of Ipah without permission first.

After being inside the house I was very surprised to see a burly and tattooed man pulling the cungkring who was holding tightly to the foot of the table. While the other man whose appearance was no less sinister than the man who pulled the gungkring was holding both hands of the cungkring's sister who was crying hysterically.

"Hey, let them go." My scream. I was furious that children as small as they are treated like arresting a criminal.

The two spooky men turned to us and the man who was holding his sister's hand joined his eyebrows.

"Tante, um, help me."Shouted the gibber under the feet of the table.

The man who was pulling the cungkring's hand let go of his pull then stood up and stared intently at us."Who're you?"

"No need to know who we are. Let them go or I'll call the police."

The two spooky people looked at each other and the man who was holding the little sister said."It's good to let them go. You guys don't interfere in our affairs."

"We wouldn't interfere in your business if the people you're treating are not brats."

"Ha ha ha." They laughed out loud.

"You want to be the hero of bad luck who wants to save the son of the owner of the debt to our boss?"

"Debt, what do you mean?"

"Si Ipah owes our boss five hundred million." I round my eyeballs hearing it. Ipah owes that much to a loan shark. Not expecting Ipah whose profession as a loan shark to borrow money from a loan shark again.

"The Ipah can not pay the debt to our boss even though our boss has given the tempo two weeks but unfortunately the Ipah still does not return the money even now he is in the hospital because of cheating and watering hard by her husband. And our boss asked to take over this house."

Raihan was silent as well as I was. If the problem is what debt I can do, let alone debt hundreds of millions if only millions maybe I can pay it.

Raihan looked towards me." Yes, it's a pity this is a debt problem we can't interfere."

"But Rai, what about the boy if the house is confiscated?"

"Are you going to take this house now?" Ask Raihan to them.

"Of course it is now and these two boys must quickly leave this house.'

"It's my house, I don't want to go."The cungkring refused.

"You quiet do you want me to throw it overboard?"

At once the cungkring fell silent and shook his head.

"Pack your things and your sister's stuff now." Tell Raihan on the cungkring.

Cungkring was silent but soon he nodded and went into his room as well as his sister entered his room after the creepy man took it off.

After their clothes were packed we took the two children into the car and took them away from their home which had been taken over by a loan shark.

I looked compassionately at the two brothers who were hugging like strengthening each other. My ex-husband and my ex-daughter. As a result of the actions of parents who do not have a sense of responsibility and selfishness of their children who are victims. If this is how it is.

"Have you guys eaten?"Ask me and they shake fast.

"We haven't eaten since yesterday when mom and dad didn't come home." Said the cungkring.

I was dumbfounded to hear that they didn't eat from yesterday, what a pity. A selfish mother who only attaches importance to her own pleasure can leave her child and instead sleep in a hotel with another man. Neither did his father think much more before acting.

"Rai, let's find a restaurant first!"

"Yes dear."

Raihan parked his car in a restaurant because the road we passed there was no restaurant but just a regular restaurant.

"Look, you guys come down we eat." They seem to smile happily.

We entered the restaurant and asked them to choose whatever food they wanted. Me and Raihan only watched them eat very greedily even the gungkring ate up to three times. Are they that hungry? how poor.

"C.e...."

"My aunt wants to see my parents, I want to see my dad and my mom." When I was thinking the cungkring whined.

"Meet your parents!"

Cungkring nodded then wiped his tears with his shirt.

Raihan and I looked at each other. If the information from the news broadcast I heard Ipah was being treated at the district hospital. Similarly, Surya mas held in the district lapas. If we obey the will of the cungkring forced us to return to the district city.

"I beg Aunt, om. I want to see Mom and Dad. Please take us to them."

"How dear?" Ask Raihan.

"Don't you mind taking them to see their parents?" I asked back.

"I'm up to you. But don't you feel tired?"

"It's gone, but I don't have the same heart as them, Rai."

"Continue?"

"If we go first how?"

"Yes already."

Raihan turned his car back to the county town after two hours we finally arrived in front of the hospital.

Raihan and I led the children into the hospital and approached a receptionist.

"Excuse me mba!" greet Raihan.

"Yes, there's something we can help."

"I want to ask if there are any patients on behalf of Ipah saripah victims of hard watering?"

"Just a moment."

Silent

"There's a mas, in room one empty two."

"Oh yes thank you mba. Let's." Let's."

Raihan and I led the children to the nursery that was told by the receptionist. After finding the treatment room we entered it.

There was the sound of the crying of a woman who was sitting on the patient's bed with the appearance of exactly like a mummy. The entire head to the neck as well as one of his hands in a lid full of bandages and leaving only a little highlight of his eyes and mouth holes.

He noticed our arrival and stopped his crying. He was silent for quite a long time maybe he did not expect his enemy to be in his presence at this time.

"You.you!" Nervous talk.

I stepped closer to him."We are sorry for the disaster that happened to us! actually, our arrival here just wanted to take the child mba because they wanted to meet his mother."

"Sister, your Dede.a.are here!"he said to both of his children.

"I.iya mama!" Then the two children hugged Ipah. As bad as her mother, Ipah is their mother of course both her children love her. So did I. No matter how bad my mother treated me, she was my mother and I loved her.

"Sorry before mba, I had to say it. Mba's house has been confiscated by the same person who lent the same money mba."

Ipah released the embrace of his two children and cried bitterly. Both of her children were crying too. Seeing the suffering of Ipah at this time makes me forget the treatment he used to have on me. The treatment that made me and my son suffer. Maybe what he is experiencing right now is a direct reply from God as well as a warning so that in the future he wants to improve himself into a better person. But that doesn't mean I'm happy to see him suffer, there's absolutely no sense of pleasure - instead I feel sorry and concerned.

Suddenly a nurse entered Ipah's room and asked us.

"What is this mas and mba patient's family?"

"No, why sus?" Raihan asked back.

"We've been waiting for the patient's family for two days, but no one has come. The hospital was confused because no family was responsible for the patient's medical expenses. If no family is responsible, the hospital will stop treatment."

After the sister spoke, Ipah cried again with a loud cry. He probably heard our conversation. It's really pretty scary.

Raihan and I looked at each other.

"Does the patient not have a BPJS mba card?"

"There is no mba. If for example the patient has sodara, his sodara can submit a certificate of not being able to go to the Provincial Government but this does not exist. Just visited mba and mas."

"Yes already, continue the treatment until he recovers. For the cost matters let me be in charge."

I was surprised to hear Raihan's words. He was willing to finance the treatment of a person with whom he had absolutely nothing to do." What.are you serious Rai?

"Dear, I did it out of humanity."

I'm smiling." Thanks to my lovely future husband."

Raihan gave a big smile.

After that we say to Ipah and tell him that we will take children to the garage to meet with Surya mas. She cried as we were about to get out of her room.

"Nuri..me...me..apologies! my sins are very much with you Nuri.please forgive me. Please forgive me, Nuri." Saying it while crying.

I smile. Those words of regret and apology that I waited for from the beginning came out of his mouth. But it's okay even though it's spoken new now that it's important he's sincerely sorry.

"I've forgiven Mba a long time ago. Now the focus is the same mba healing. Our children will be entrusted to the Surya family and we will also help finance their needs both in school and daily needs."

"Thank you Nuri thank you." Said Ipah while sobbing Isak.

Then we left his room and left the hospital with the sobs of the two children.
