The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
After demolition


"Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why are you so stupid. I think you're smart people but why can't you fool a real baby and a doll." Doctor Bayu cursed furiously. I don't know whose anger was shown to whom. Either Oma or Bagas' father.


Oma sat on the grass and cried roaring." Yes tuhaaan! who, who is the one who has had the heart to lie to me for decades," cried Oma in her tears.


I looked pityfully at the crying Oma roaring. I can also feel what he feels. He lied for decades and thought his grandson had died.


"I believe this is a plan someone who deliberately wants to get rid of the descendants or wives of Mr. Bagas." The police began to suspect.


The cop turned to Oma." Was it when Hanum's mother was alive that she had an enemy Oma? a friend or business associate?"


Oma shook her head. My son is a good man. After my son had a child she no longer dabbled in the company but her husband.


"What do you think my mother's death was also a plan?"


"I can't be sure yet. What's more this case has been so long it's been hard to find evidence. But our team will try to help as much as possible on this matter."


"Thank you sir. I will not remain silent either, sir. I'll sue the hospital where my mom gave birth."


"Don't be rash doctor Bayu. We can't just sue the hospital by just giving evidence of this doll. There must be other evidence that is more concrete and corroborating if this has anything to do with the hospital concerned. I agree the police officer said that this is some kind of plan that was deliberately done by someone and deliberately lied about the death of Hanum's mother's baby. All we have to think about here is that the person is not the hospital. So what we have to investigate first is the culprit. If the perpetrator's proven to have something to do with the new hospital we sue that hospital." Raihan speak up.


For a moment doctor Bayu fell silent." Yeah, you're right. We need to find anyone who's related."


"Do we want this doll, sir?" Ask the medical staff.


"Please wrap it up with her shroud. I'll take it as evidence later."


"Good sir."


Oma got up and turned to me who was still stiff in place and accompanied by tears that continued to flow. Then she stepped closer to me sobbing. After coming closer, he touched my face and wiped my tears.


"Without DNA testing, Oma is convinced that you are Oma's grandson, Oma's grandson, Hanum's son, Oma's only child. Forgive Oma's stupidity, son! forgive the stupidity and mistakes of Oma. Because of Oma's stupidity, Oma's granddaughter has been suffering out there for years."


In tears I shook my head and hugged his old body tightly.


"Hi, sister. Don't you want to hug your sister?" In the middle of hugging Oma, arrived doctor Bayu already stood beside me and spread his hands.


I fell silent and looked at him. Before you know how the DNA test results will be, I honestly still doubt. I doubt if he really is my brother? Then I glanced at Raihan and it turned out that he was watching us and then he nodded slowly as a signal that he could give me a hug with doctor Bayu. After that, by trying to dispel the doubt I burst into her arms and we cried together shedding the mixed feelings that were in our hearts.


"What are we going to do next, Rai? I don't want to let the person who separated me from my sister roam free" said doctor Bayu when we were at Oma's house and gathered.


"We went to the hospital and asked for the data on the people who handled Hanum's mother's birth."


"It's been a long time Rai, is it possible that they still keep the data?"


"Not her mother Hanum gave birth in a big hospital and until now still standing strong and still operating? I think they're still keeping it unless someone intentionally erases it."


"Well, you're right. Hopefully the data still exists. When are we going to go there?"


"Tomorrow morning, Bayu. It was late afternoon and soon after night. Let Raihan and your sister rest first so that you don't get tired tomorrow." Suddenly, Oma gave her advice.


Doctors Bayu and Raihan nodded.


"Sukma, where's my great-grandson?" Oma asked Sukma's aunt who had just arrived while carrying a tray of four cups of tea and snacks.


"So the Atun, Oma."


Not long after seeing Art named Atun passing by carrying a bed containing clothes.


"Lho is Atun" said Oma.


"Where's Den Zain? I was with you before I went to the kitchen to make a drink."


Art looks to be frowning." Put den Zain on me? when is mba Sukma? my guy from this afternoon ironed clothes in the laundry room and this just got spun."


"No way, I still remember. People obviously I'm tipping den Zain with you and you are also nodding."


"But by Allah mba Sukma I did not meet with den Zain at all. My guy just got out of the laundry room."


"Have, already." Suddenly Oma mediated those two Art.


"Sukma where did you leave Zain?"


"In the Oma's playroom. Den Zain accompanied the puzzle with Atun."


"Oh Allah, I really haven't met Zain this afternoon." Mba Atun denies returning. But I don't think Art is lying.


"Keep if not you then who is the woman I spoke to Atun? it's just you and me in this house."


In the midst of their debate I became reminded of the figure of a woman who often looks like her form in front of me. Spontaneously I stood up." Auntie, which room is Zain playing in? Ask me out loud and maybe this question surprises everyone there.


"There Non, there point aunt in a direction."


Without asking any more I ran towards the room far enough away and was followed by them.


After arriving at the door that Bi Sukma was referring to, I hurriedly opened the door.


"Zain, Zayn!" I screamed as I entered a large, quiet room with only a puzzle toy.


"Where is Allah and Zain? I really leave the same den Atun," said Bi Sukma in the midst of his panic.


"For the sake of Allah I have not met with den Zain, Oma."


"Already, already. Now find my great-grandson in every corner of the room, front and back yard." Oma screamed to deafen our ears.


Raihan and doctor Bayu immediately move. So do I, bi Sukma and Bu Atun and Oma. We searched every corner of the room downstairs and upstairs. Swimming pool and back garden. Zain was not found. I started to panic, my tears just flowed.


Everyone reports to Oma that they didn't find Zain. I immediately remembered the place I had not been looking for was the front garden.


"Where are you, baby?" Raihan asked when he saw me stepping.


"You haven't been looking for him in the front garden, have you?"


"But if Zain goes to the front garden, it must pass us by Nuri."


I didn't care what the baby doctor said but walked away. But I know they're all following me. Once on the terrace, my gaze spread out in all directions of the garden and before long my eyes were fixed on a toddler we were looking for was laughing cheerfully with a woman who looked like me on a long bench and in the middle of the Maghrib. I was astonished to see them because only this time I could see clearly how the woman looked.


"Zayn..!" I shouted and the woman disappeared from my sight.


I immediately ran towards her then carried her and brought Zain back to the terrace.


"Geez baby, why did Zain leave the house not tell us first. Zain knows he's very worried?" oma said as she stroked Zain's cheek.


"Zen play cama Oma, eyang."


We look at each other. Toddlers Zain's age can't possibly lie.
