The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Meet Oma


I woke up and sat up straight with a body full of sweat and a fast racing heart rate. I feel like what I dreamt of was reality, not just a dream.


"Mama.." Zain stood up and hugged me and kissed my cheek. Maybe he got distracted by my unintentional scream.


"Sorry baby, sorry. Mama's waking up Zain bobo huh?" I returned his embrace.


"Mama napa?"


"No why. Zain bobo again yes!"


Along with saying arrived the door of the room opened. I turned, saw Raihan entering my room with a worried face.


"What's up baby, what's up screaming?" Raihan asked as he stepped wide at me then sat down beside me and rubbed my sweaty face with his hands.


I scrunched my forehead. Why did Raihan know I was screaming. Our rooms were far apart and blocked by several rooms.


"Kok, do you know that I'm yelling?" I asked back.


"Are you having a bad dream?" Raihan asked a question.


"Rai, you haven't answered my question, you know."


Raihan sighed." How not to hear it. Your screams are loud even as all the residents of this apartment unit hear it." I'm advancing my lower lip to hear her tearing.


"Ha ha ha." Raihan laughed a little at the expression on my face.


"I'm talking seriously, Rai."


Raihan smiled and pulled slowly Zain's body that was embracing me from the side. Then Zain sat on his lap.


"This room is not covered by soundproofing dear. So even talking can still be heard from outside what else is shouting like earlier. Anyway I'm still in the TV room not yet into the room."


I held Raihan's arm with the watch. The clock showed at two in the morning. I narrowed my eyes to look at her." Why haven't you slept? it's soon dawn."


"The ball's way hasn't been spherical he he."


I cut my lips to hear the reason.


"I'm serious, baby, why did you scream?"


I rubbed my face with my hands first. After that, I stared fixedly at Raihan's face." Rai's.."


"He'em."


"I am confused by myself Rai, lately I often hallucinate meeting the same woman figure even the figure to the point of being carried away by a dream."


Raihan frowned." Woman figure!"


"Yes." Yeah."


Then I told her the dream I had just had. In addition, I also told about my hallucinations that often met the woman even I told Raihan that the figure of the woman had helped me repeatedly. Whether it was just by chance I was lucky or not it was true that the woman who helped me.


"Since when have you been hallucinating about that woman you've been telling me about, right?"


"Since..since.." I'm trying to remember.


"Have you forgotten?"


I was silent but before long my memory that had blanked it appeared again in my brain.


"I, I remember Rai."


Raihan is still excited to listen to my story.


"Keep it.."


"When I asked doctor Bayu about my facial equation and his mama he said we just happened to have facial similarities or called with....Doppelganger."


"Couldn't you?"


I nodded." But Rai, the problem isn't that."


"What?"


"When I was at doctor Bayu's house I accidentally found a photo of a woman who looked a lot like me."


"Photo!"


"Yes. And I'm sure it's a picture of Oma's son she told me about."


"Keep."


"When I was looking at him, the photo suddenly smiled at me, Rai.


Raihan scrunched his forehead.


"I was so shocked that I ran away like a coward. Well, that's why I'm so often hallucinating or having strange dreams."


Raihan was silent as if he was thinking of something.


Momentary silence.


"Darling, tomorrow I'll take you to the doctor's house Bayu ya!" said Raihan.


I frowned at me." What's for?"


"To be happy. It's you and Zain bobo again. Poor Zain, it's good to sleep even in disturbing his mother."


I'm moving my lips." I didn't accidentally, Rai. After all who wants to be loved a scary dream like that. Look at the face of the sakaratul death."


Raihan smiled and stroked the tip of my head." Every living creature will surely feel the name dying of death at the end of his life dear. Don't be afraid. If you don't want to dream bad pray before bobo."


I'm looking down embarrassed. My religious science is not as deep as the religious science that Raihan understands. Understandably, I never went to religious school just that I learned free salary in the mosque.


I pulled my body back and tried to close my eyes. While Raihan was hugging Zain while lying down and rubbing his back because both of Zain's eyes still did not want to close.


Until the next day or precisely at dawn I woke up and turned to the side, it appeared Raihan was sleeping soundly while hugging Zain. Looks like he fell asleep last night.


In the morning and after breakfast as requested by Raihan that he wanted me to take him to doctor Bayu's house this morning and I also supported him.


Raihan drove his car down the city streets in the morning to Bayu's doctor's house.


An hour later we had entered an elite residential area. Raihan car continues down the streets that look quiet and neat and left and right there is a view of large luxury homes. Honestly, I was amazed to see that house.


"Would you like to have a house in this residential area after we get married, baby?" Ask Raihan. It turned out that he noticed my behavior that impressed the village to see a luxurious house.


I glanced at him and shook his head quickly." No, tired of running."


Raihan laughed loudly.


I never wanted to have a big and luxurious house. In addition to tired of taking care of it, the big house will only maintain the distance between residents who live one roof. Such as rarely meeting and having trouble calling someone. But, this was only from my point of view because I was used to living in a house that was far from luxurious.


Finally the car we were riding in front of the house was very big in my eyes. After that, Raihan and Zain came down and stepped closer to the terrace. When we were on the terrace, a short time later an Alphard car stopped right next to Raihan's car. We noticed the car and soon two people were coming out. Oma smiled a big smile at us while doctor Bayu behaved normally.
