The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

Raihan and Bayu's doctor examined the data in detail while I was only paying attention to them.

"Do you think these three people are still alive, Rai?" Ask your baby doctor with a gaze not to switch from the file.

Raihan shook his head then glanced at his friend who had already given us the data.

"Bro, you think you think these people are still alive?"

"Well, how do I know bro. I worked here for two years. But I guess those guys retired from here before I graduated kind of kindergarten, ha ha."

Raihan moved his lower lip while I smiled at the man's joke.

"We better find it now, Rai. I hope these people are still alive."

"Well, the sooner the better."

"Do we need to take the police?"

"Don't just."

"Wait, wait. What's this really about? why carry the name of the police?" Ask Raihan's friend with a curious face.

Raihan and doctor Bayu look at each other.

"Is it so privacy that I shouldn't know?"

"May I say so, bro. The story is too long and if it is told now we when to go home bro. Later if there is time and business runs out I must tell you or ask for help Lo again hehe."

Raihan's friend cut his lip off.

After the data is in our hands, we permit a farewell to good men who have been willing to stay at the hospital to carry out Raihan's orders. I wondered how good Raihan was to his friends until he had a friend who was almost all good. Like his friend this one, he does not want to be paid when I know finding the data of people who have been decades is quite difficult. And fortunately the data is still stored there is no intentional people who want to eliminate it.

We walked out of the hospital to where the car was parked. But before I entered the car I was like seeing Nura enter the hospital. But I can't be sure if it's Nura or not because it doesn't look like her face.

"Honey coming in. Look what the hell?" Ask raihan.

"Oh, not Rai." Then I immediately entered the car.

The car we were riding in front of a cafe. I looked back where Doctor Bayu was sitting while busy playing his phone.

"We'll eat first, doc."

"Call me brother, Nuri," said Bayu's doctor without turning his eyes on his phone screen.

Raihan smiled mesemically."Remember that, baby. Now you already have a big brother who is super cute and.."

Doctor Bayu raised his face looking at us." What are you guys talking about?"

"No, I just told Nuri that she has a handsome sister. Yeah, that's all."

Doctor Bayu smiled faintly but could still be seen by my eyes. I feel awkward calling him big brother but from now on I will try to get used to it.

We went down and entered a restaurant. We thought we had to fill our stomachs first before it was exhausting to look for the people we were going to look for. The restaurant we visited was not too crowded so it was not too noisy. In addition, we also choose a table that is located far enough from other tables to be more comfortable when chatting.

"Sister-in-law, can I ask you something?" Raihan asked the doctor Bayu who was busy with his cell phone.

Doctor Bayu glanced at Raihan with the tail end of his eyes." Just ask?"

"Emm, does sister-in-law have a boyfriend?"

Doctor Bayu looked at Raihan with a look I could hardly describe." You're taunting me?"

"Oh, not at all dong. I'm just asking, he he."

Not long after our order arrived at our table and we immediately ate each other's food in silence but occasionally in interspersed chat.

Half an hour passed and after we had finished eating, we decided to directly search the residence of the people related to when Hanum's mother gave birth.

"Actually how many people helped Bu Hanum give birth, Rai?" I asked Raihan in the middle he was driving. I asked because I didn't see the data. I don't know why I didn't want to see it. Just looking at the cover it feels like my chest is claustrophobic if I see the contents of the file.

"Three dear ones. One male doctor and two nurses."

I stared at Raihan. How not to be dumb. The number of people who helped give birth to Bu Hanum was exactly the same as the number of people I had in my dreams when I dreamed of someone who was giving birth to. It's quite strange, I don't know if it was just a coincidence or if the dream was a clue. But, a dream is a sleeping flower it doesn't make sense if I believe it.

"Yes, I can."

The sound of the excitement of Bayu's brother suddenly spread my daydream and then I turned to him." What's it, brother?"

"The three people we're going to visit. But unfortunately the house is far apart even there are outside the city of Jakarta."

"Seriously?" Raihan.

"Yes, Rai."

"Continue?" Ask me.

"We come to their house which is still located in the area of Jakarta first," proposed Bayu kak.

"Who about?"Ask Raihan.

"Doctor Subroto. I've pocketed the address."

"good. Please send that address to my sister-in-law's phone. We're sliding over there now."

Brother Bayu nodded.

The car we were riding drove quickly to divide the streets of Jakarta. Raihan continued to drive his car following the directions on his phone. Hopefully that GPS doesn't target us and get us to the right address.

Thirty minutes passed Raihan's car was already on the streets of the lower middle-class housing complex. Raihan slowed down his car until he arrived at the two-story house and stopped his car.

We noticed a house that was not too big, painted white and two-story. The house looked quiet with the gate tightly closed. Then we decided to go down.

Raihan walked first towards the gate that was only limited to his chest. Me and my sister Bayu followed him.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Repeatedly Raihan called the owner of the house but there was no answer at all.

"The gate's in the lock. The owner is outside" Raihan said.

"Excuse me, mba." Someone greeted us. We looked back and saw a middle-aged man wearing a skullcap standing behind us.

"Assalamualaikum, sir." Raihan greeted the man and the man returned his greetings. In addition to greeting us, we also shake hands with the man we just know as RT complex.

"Sorry, are you and me looking for the owner of this house?"

"Sir, sir, is this house Doctor Subroto's house?" Ask Raihan.

"Master mas."

Smiles also spread on our lips.

"Is Doctor Subroto and his family in this house, sir?" Ask brother Bayu.

"Sorry, Doctor Subroto has been dead for five years. His wife died six months ago. And this house has been empty since three months ago because his son and husband and children decided to live in Bandung."

The smile that was originally on our lips instantly faded when we found out that the person we were looking for was no longer in this world.
