The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Raihan takes care of Nuri

After replacing the blanket Raihan went out of the room while carrying a dirty blanket. I honestly felt bad for her and I shouldn't have come with Raihan to her house just now so I didn't burden her like this. Soon Raihan returned to his room holding Zain.

"Mr..!" Zain greeted me with a smile. Raihan put Zain on the bed right next to me. I was about to sit down but my body felt so weak that I had trouble sitting my hips.

"Just sleep," Raihan said.

"There's so much Rai, thank you for taking care of me and nurturing Zain!"

"No need to thank mba, I sincerely do it. Let's just go to the hospital?"

"No need Rai, I just need a break. Easy to recover soon."

"Mba sure you don't want to see a doctor? I'm worried about the mba."

I nodded then smiled at the young man who had sincerely taken care of me and Zain. Raihan breathed a heavy sigh. It seems like he really wants me to go to the doctor but I don't want to because other than not having the money I don't want to burden Raihan to pay for my treatment.

Zain laid his tiny body beside me and hugged me. Zain as he understood my condition. He never whined spoiled at me. I kissed her cheek and made her flinch.

"I'm sorry dear today mama can not accompany Zain play?"

Zain nodded then hugged me back.

"Zain played the same Uncle Raihan, right? yuk, we play outside so mom can rest." Raihan spread out his hands and Zain stood up and slid into Raihan's arms.

"Mba, we're outside huh? Just take a break."

I nodded weakly.

All day long I just spent my time lying on the bed. There was nothing I could do but lie down because my body was completely limp. If you want to go to the bathroom must be helped by Raihan. Raihan was like a husband on standby taking care of me and babysitting my children all day without complaining. He looks sincere to us. I don't know if there's no Raihan when I'm helpless like this who's gonna take care of me and take care of Zain? As I already had if I was sick I had to treat myself, take care of myself and look for this myself without anyone willing to help me either my mother or my husband.

The door opened and a sweet smile emerged from behind the door. Raihan went into the room holding Zain and carrying a bowl, no matter what it was. Then he put Zain on the bed right next to me.

"Well eat first? I made porridge for mba!"

I smiled at Raihan's confession that he had made porridge for me. Attention once he bothered to make me porridge even though I had no relationship with him but why he was always kind and caring to me.

Raihan blew the porridge that was still steaming in the bowl hoping that the porridge would warm quickly. Long enough he did that until the porridge started to warm up. Little by little he bribed me until it did not feel like six mouthfuls had entered my stomach. Actually my mouth feels bitter and eating anything does not taste good. But since Raihan has gone to great lengths to make porridge for me, I must cherish it and eat it so that Raihan may be pleased.

When Raihan bribed me the seventh time, I threw up again and hit the new blanket replaced by him. Patiently she cleaned my vomit marks without any disgust.

"Rai..forgive me!" I said worriedly because again I vomited.

"It's okay mba!" raihan replied and smiled warmly as if to calm me down.

Raihan came out of the room with a dirty blanket. Soon he came back and gave me a new blanket.

"Well, get some rest, I'll bathe Zain first."

I nodded and Raihan took Zain to the bathroom to bathe. After a few minutes Raihan returned while holding a bathed Zain. Raihan sat Zain down on the couch and put on a new shirt that he knew when he bought it and I just watched.

"Will I take a shower?" ask Raihan after she finishes wearing Zain's clothes.

"How do I take a bath Rai?"

Raihan was silent as if he was thinking about how I could take a shower but then he said, "Yes, you don't have to take a shower this afternoon?"

I nodded weakly.

"Zain, uncle want to take a shower first huh? Zain take care of your mama first during uncle's bath okay?" Raihan spoke to Zain but his tail glanced at me who was watching him.

"OK uncle..!"

"Smart kid!" said Raihan then fussed on Zain's pointed nose.

Raihan is taking a shower in the bathroom while Zain is playing his car which Raihan knows when to buy. When I was watching Zain while lying Raihan came out of the bathroom with only a towel under his waist and on his knees and wet hair. I was a little surprised to see Raihan's performance because this was not the first thing I saw but the third time. Raihan walked towards his wardrobe and without any shame he wore a t-shirt and shorts in front of me. Raihan turned to me then I immediately turned my gaze I did not want to go to the pergok Raihan had noticed it but it turns out Raihan already knew it first and then he smiled ignorantly.

At eight o'clock Raihan brought a mattress of fur thick enough into his room and put it under the bed. I just watched him while lying down.

When Raihan just finished rolling out the mattress, Zain approached Raihan while carrying a car in his hand.

"The uncle wants bobo!" said Zain. Zain was seen yawning many times as if he was already very sleepy.

"Zain wants bobo? here's uncle keloni!" Raihan grabbed Zain's tiny body and put him to sleep on the fur bed beneath me. Raihan put her to bed while rubbing a swab over her head. I only noticed the way Raihan gently put Zain to sleep until Zain fell asleep in his arms. If in the attention of Raihan deftly take care of small children when he himself does not have a sister even met with his two nephews alone is very rare. Raihan glanced at me then smiled sweetly I returned his smile.

"Have Rai slept?"

"Already mba, mba Nuri why not sleep? do I want a donkey like Zain?" goda Raihan and I just smiled weakly at him because I didn't have the strength to talk much.

Ten o'clock in the night I haven't closed my eyes yet. Even though my body is really weak and helpless, my eyes are still strong enough to open. I saw Raihan struggling at his desk staring at a laptop screen. I noticed the screen of his laptop that was not too far away until I could see it. What Raihan does is not a college assignment but a job.

Raihan closed his laptop screen and he yawned. I closed my eyes purporting to sleep because I didn't want Raihan to nag because I saw I wasn't asleep. Raihan approached me and sat down on the edge of the bed. His hand grabbed the tip of my head and gently rubbed it. After that, his face was close to my face so I could feel his warm breath.

"I love you so much, so dear," he said, then kissed my forehead gently and long enough.

In a closed state, I felt my heart beat racing quickly. But I tried to keep my eyes from opening. Then Raihan stood up and sat down and laid his body on a fur mattress under the bed while hugging Zain.

I was only able to open my eyes after Raihan fell asleep. I looked at her handsome face, which was sleeping. How handsome he is even though his eyes are closed. I don't feel like I'm shedding my tears. Why should I get tender treatment from another man not from my own husband? If only Surya behaved like Raihan but unfortunately Surya's attitude is very much different from Raihan.

At one o'clock in the night. I felt my whole body shivering. I pressed my blanket but it still felt so cold like I was in the freezer. Raihan woke up, maybe he felt disturbed by my rapport.

"Why mba?" asked Raihan with an anxious face.

"It's cold Rai, I'm not strong" I replied with trembling lips and body.

Raihan immediately turned off his room AC, then walked up to the closet and picked up a blanket. After that, he enveloped me with two layers.

"How can it still feel cold?"

"Very Rai, very cold."

Raihan walked back to the closet and opened it. But he looked disappointed because he no longer found the stock of blankets in his closet because the blankets were all dirty from the vomit.

Raihan walked to and fro like an iron while shaking his waist. It seemed like she was panicking and confused as to what she should do to help me shiver.

"I'm not strong anymore Rai, if I die I take Zain?" razuku. I really can't stand the cold in my body.

Raihan gasped at my rapport. Then he came up to me and sat down next to me.

"Mba can't talk like that. Mba must be strong. Mba can't leave I can't."

"But until when do I have to endure this coldness Rai? I'm not strong Rai."

Raihan was silent while looking at me but before long he grabbed two layers of blankets on my body and went into it.

"Sorry mba, sorry. It's not like I'm looking for a chance at narrowness. But I don't know how to help you."

Raihan tilted my body to the side until my face touched the chest of his field. In a state of sleep facing each other Raihan hugged me tightly. Glue my body with his body so that it does not leave an inch of distance between our bodies. I don't deny what Raihan is doing to me. I knew he was just trying to help me and for now I wasn't thinking about sin and betrayal because I was just looking for warmth to fight the cold in my body.

I know Raihan is overheating because in addition to the AC room on the turn off we hugged under two layers of thick blankets. I know because I felt sweat coming out of his neck and dripping on my forehead.

"Rai, are you hot?" askaku in the close embrace of Raihan.

"It's okay mba, I can hold him back the important thing is not cold anymore" replied Raihan. So good he was to me that he sacrificed his hot body for me who was cold.

"How's mba? can this body help warm up mba?"

"Lumayan Rai!"

Raihan smiled and stroked the back of my head.

"Sleep, tomorrow morning we go to the doctor."

I nodded my head and tried to close my eyes because my body felt a little warm no longer like it was very cold.
