The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Rejection of the Surya family

After finishing the Surya mas we continue our journey to the home of my ex-husband's parents to deliver the two children to Surya. Upon arriving at the courtyard of his house, it appears that his ex-mother-in-law is feeding her husband who is sitting in a wheelchair. But he immediately put the plate he was holding when he saw the arrival of our car. From the windshield I looked at the face of my ex-father-in-law. His head was tilted to the side and his mouth was tilted like a stroke. In the middle of watching them Raihan surprised me.

"Darling, you wanna come down?"He asked while patting my shoulder slowly.

I was a little flabbergasted and then glanced at him." Yes Rai, indeed you want to talk directly to them to hand over the two children of Surya?"

Raihan's advancing his lower lip."I don't know them, honey."

I smiled and turned my head back to see that both of Surya's children were sleeping. It is not appropriate to hear their voices. I immediately built the two children.

"Have you reached Auntie?" Ask the gungkring then rub his eyes as well as his sister.

"It has. Let's go down and bring each one's bags." They nodded and went down one by one carrying bags of their clothes.

And so did Raihan and me coming down. But we just got out of the car both Surya's sisters came out of his house except Elis, Surya's youngest brother.

"Grandma, grandpa!" shouted the cungkring and his sister then walked quickly towards the group of people who were watching our arrival with various expressions. Some are flat there are cynics some are surprised.

"Would you guys come here?" Ask the first sister Surya cynically to the two children of Surya. The two children's steps stopped immediately. Me and Raihan who were still standing next to the car looked at each other.

"Ma.mau lives here, wa." Say the cungkring.

"You stay here! who told you to stay here? It's hard here again. Look at that your grandfather is sick. If you live here our lives get harder and harder."

The cungkring and his sister bowed. Those who are big and understand are certainly sad to be treated so by his own aunt.

I shook my head to hear a sentence of rejection that should not be appropriate to say to his own nephew. The child of his biological brother is not a stepbrother or a distant sodara.

"Mr!" I said as I stepped closer to the two children of Surya who were sobbing and embraced the two children.

"Oh, you brought them here on purpose, Nur?" Ask her with a cynical look.

"Yes, if not here then where else, mba? You're the only family they have."

"They can still live in their home even though their mother's father is not there. What else is the big cungkring can take care of his sister."

"Are you guys gonna let them live together? They are still children you know mba, still need protection from adults such as protection from his grandparents and his Aunt Aunty. And one thing you should know, they don't have a home anymore. Their house was seized as a debt-redeemer for their parents."

"What!"the former mother-in-law who was originally flat just arrived to voice in a surprised tone.

"A..what do you mean, Nuri? are you lying to us?" Said her mother later.

"I'm not lying Mom, if I don't believe just ask the two of them."

"Is that right, huh?"Ask both of Surya's children.

The cungkring looked up and returned the granny's gaze." Yes, my mother, our house is in confiscation. They said you had a debt of five hundred million and didn't pay."

"What!" both the eyes of the former mother-in-law instantly widened. Similarly with the two Surya sisters.

"Ru..ru.my house is confiscated!"His speech with brick stammer while holding his chest and his breath also seemed to be stinged.

I was quite surprised to see what happened to my former mother-in-law. He was shocked to hear bad news from me. I'm afraid he's having a heart attack let alone that he's holding his chest and his breathing is stinging.

"Mother...!" Said the second sister of Surya who already looked panicked and held an arm.

"What's going on?" Suddenly Elis came out with the appearance of a towel rolling his head. Looks like she just finished a shower.

Then he looked at me."Nuri MBA!" he then turned to his mother who was struggling." Mother..mom why mba?" Elis asked her two brothers as she approached him.

"That's because of your favorite ex-sister-in-law." Surya's first cynical sister.

For a moment Elis turned to look at us who were still standing and turned his eyes back to his mother.

"Look, we're sitting mba's mom!" said Elis. Once in the stand Elis hastily entered into his house. Not long after, he returned with drinking water.

"Drink first, ma'am!" elis said as he brought the glass filled with drinking water to his mouth. Slowly my ex-mother-in-law drank it and before long her breath seemed stable. If I notice the youngest Elis but he is the most deft and cares more for his parents. The proof, already knew his mother almost had a heart attack but the second brother Elis just held his arm and was let stand and his first brother was not his help but angry and wronged me.

"Mom's coming in?"Elis asked but my ex-mother-in-law shook her head and cried as she pleased.

Raihan and I looked at each other to see Surya's mother crying. Actually I no longer want to deal with Surya mas or his family but somehow I just want to help his children. Not because I'm still in love with their father but rather with pity.

"Why are you crying, Mom?" Elis asked as she rubbed her back. While my ex-father-in-law who couldn't move just let out tears looking at his wife.

"You're asking me that's the same Nuri?" first brother Elis said. Elis turned to look at me and stood up and approached.

"Sorry mba, what's wrong? why are you in such shock?" Ask Elis to me. Then he looked down at the two children of Surya. "So far, why are there children of Surya? who are you guys here with?" Elis asked but the two just looked down and sobbed.

"Sorry Lis, our arrival here is not meant to shock your mother. But my intention to come here is just to leave the two children of Surya's mas as their only family."

"putting? meaning mba?"

"Do you not know the news about Surya and Ipah?"

Elis seemed to think." You know what, I saw on the news but I haven't met Surya's mas."

"Therefore Lis, I want to leave their children with you because you know for yourself where their parents are now? mas Surya is in prison and will be sentenced for a long time. While mba Ipah also does not know when he was healed. The doctor said Ipah's face was completely damaged, Lis."

"I know mba, and let them receive their respective rewards for their mistakes. Anyway I've reminded Surya to not come back again with the Ipah uh he even married the lioness. That's if his brain is located in the hanky. It was really stupid of him, throwing diamonds and picking up pebbles in the street. If only he hadn't divorced mba maybe his life wouldn't be as sad as it is now."

"Eiem." Raihan suddenly cleared his throat and then pulled my waist. I was quite surprised by him. I was also ashamed of Elis and everyone who was watching us.

"Is the talk over, baby? we'd better get home now it's gonna be dark in a minute. Poor Zain needs a break." Raihan.

I glanced at Elis as his eyebrows twitched together."I..this who's mba?"

"Know mba, I am Raihan Hermawan Gemilang founder and CEO of R&N GROUP and Nuri's future husband." Before I answered Elis Raihan's question first answered him completely while extending his hand.

"Nuri's future husband and a big boss." Then watch Raihan's body from face to foot." It's perfect." Elis was amazed at Raihan's perfection.

Raihan smiled faintly."Thank you for the compliment mba and I hope mba and family can come to our wedding reception which will be held at the hotel the westin Jakarta next Sunday." I don't know why Raihan invited them

Elis slightly rounded her pupils and I glanced at the three women who were watching us as their faces flashed dumbfounded faces. I do not know what they think about me and I also do not care even though they think negatively about me who just finished the Iddah period immediately married again.

"Yes we don't have much time and because mba is the best among brothers and sisters even our parents mba titip both children mas Surya huh? mba do not need to worry me who bear the cost of their needs even mba will also give money if mba willing to take good care of them. How mba, do you agree?"

Elis glanced at the three women who were staring at us. Maybe he asked for their approval but unfortunately the three women were silent and flat.

"A strange family." Raihan muttered softly but still sounded in my ear. What he said was true if my ex-husband's family did indeed have a strange attitude.
