The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Surya's good attitude


When I had just arrived home after delivering crackers to every shop, I found Surya sitting on the terrace floor. For a moment I was silent and at the same time Surya realized my arrival and then he smiled at me. I returned his smile but in my heart I asked why there could be Surya mas at home? didn't he just come home last week? it's only natural that I feel surprised because usually Surya comes home every one or two months.


With a feeling of wonder I walked up to him then lowered Zain on the floor right next to him. Mas Surya grabbed Zain's tiny hand with a smile he greeted," Zain same mom out of where?"Zain's view leads to Surya's mas but he is silent. Maybe Zain was surprised at the attitude of his father the same thing he felt by me why arrived mas surya greet Zain with a smile? because usually Surya never do this.


Not wanting to drag on to my astonishment I asked, "mas, the tumben came home quickly. Didn't you just come home last week? usually a month or two..!"


"Are you not happy if I come home sooner Nuri?" mas surya cut my words and asked back and I immediately answered, "oh no mas, that's not what it means." I immediately refuted it because I did not want Surya to misunderstand and thought I was not happy if he came home not as usual.


"I miss you and Zain just so much that I go home. Maybe from now on I'll come home once a week here." Mas Surya gave the reason for his return and the reason it made me slightly round my eyeballs. Surya will be home once a week? What good genie has possessed his heart.


"You don't mind if I go home once a week?"continued again.


"Owh, no mas, not at all," I replied hesitantly. I doubt the attitude of Surya who suddenly turned warm. I immediately shook my head eliminating the negative thoughts that were in my brain.


Then my gaze turned to a black plastic that was lying on the floor and I questioned what he was carrying." What are you carrying?" While pointing towards the black plastic located under the door.


"Oh, that's Zain's toy."Instantly my face turned dumbfounded.


Mas Surya took off his shoes and took a large plastic size and brought it closer to me and Zain then opened it. A few seconds later, two ordinary cars and different models appear in it. Mas Surya took out the car and gave it to Zain.


"It's a toy for Zain, sorry papa ya all this time papa never buy Zain toys."


Zain noticed the look on Surya's regretful face. At first silent and staring but a few seconds later Zain smiled widely and said, "papa grin." Then grab those two cars.


Mas Surya mangosteen." Same with darling!" then took Zain into his arms. I shed tears seeing Surya hugging Zain. A first hug for Zain from a biological father he had never felt.


After that, we went inside the house. Zain immediately played the toy car that Surya had brought him while he himself went into the room probably wanting a break.


I put raw food in the fridge to cook for our lunch. Look ready-to-fry chicken, some pieces of fish and some types of vegetables. Lucky I was shopping for groceries this morning and now I don't have to suck looking for it anymore.


When I was frying the chicken I had laid before, two hands came around my waist and I knew who owned this hand and I said,"mas I'm cooking to eat us, not now huh?" I immediately thought to myself that Surya would want his rights as a husband.


Mas Surya laughed crisply and replied, "I just want to hug my beautiful wife."


I smiled thinly then raised the chicken that had been fried using a gravel. After that, put it on a plate.


"Mas, please let go of his hand first I want to keep this fried chicken at the dinner table," I said as I held a plate of fried chicken. Mas Surya according to, he removed his hand from my slender waist circle. Then I walked up to the dinner table and placed a plate of chicken on the table along with several other menus.


Surya hugged me back from behind. Holding her two circular hands, I invited her to eat together."We eat yuk mas first, you must be hungry right?"


"Beauty, I still want to hug you." Mas Surya refused him and further tightened his arm circles on my waist. Then I turned to lead him. Because the height of Surya's body is only three inches above me then I do not have to look up to see his face.


I stared fixedly at the two eyes of Surya wanted to find out if there was sincerity in what he did to me at the end of this or just a good temple.


"Why see me like that, baby? are you surprised by my attitude?"ask her. It turned out that Surya realized my astonishment at her.


"I want to turn into a good husband and father for you from now on" he continued.


I smiled hearing it. Hopefully what he said was true from his heart and not just the words on his lips. I myself do not want to do a divorce because the divorce was hated by God. If God predestines that Surya is my life partner until the end of life, I am sincere, especially now that Surya has shown his good attitude to me.


Along with the smile I gave him, Surya suddenly kissed my lips. At first I was quiet, but I thought maybe it was time I really had to be born and I just accepted Surya mas as my husband. Then I kissed her back, we hugged each other until we were out of breath and let go of our kisses.


Mas Surya stroked next to my cheek and said, "I love you Nuri, I'm sorry for my rude attitude towards you all along." Then hugged me.


My heart warms, which wife is not happy to see a change in attitude better her husband and get gentle treatment from her husband including me. If only Surya treated me with kindness and tenderness to me at the beginning of our marriage maybe I would really fall in love with him and I really sincerely without seeing his shortcomings.


"Mas, it's been his embrace we eat first yuk I'm already hungry this."


Mas Surya let go of his embrace then smiled and nodded. I serve the mas Surya eats well. Fill the plate with rice, fried chicken, capcay and sambal. Since I have a pretty decent income I no longer eat with chili sauce, Zain no longer I feed rice and soy sauce but food that has nutritional value.


Mas Surya ate voraciously but occasionally he glanced at me and gave his warm smile. I always smile back when she smiles at me.


"Our granddad is jalan yuk?" take Surya when I just finished feeding Zain.


I glanced at him to see that Surya was already looking neat using levis pants and short-sleeved shirts."mau Street Where mas?" ask me then.


"Where is it up to you Nuri!"


I turned my gaze toward Zain and asked, "would Zain want to walk the same path?" Zain nodded with a big smile.


"Yes, I'll change my clothes for a moment" I said later.


A few minutes later, I was tidying up with my casual look. Navy soft-colored long suit. The clothes that Raihan had bought while I was staying at his house some time ago. Do not forget also I put a little make up on my face so as not to look cute.


I went outside the house while leading Zain and approached Surya mas who was checking his motorbike.


"Mas, we're ready!"say me behind her. Mas Surya turned around he looked at me with a dumbfounded look at my appearance.


"You..that's so pretty baby!"praise the Surya. Maybe he just realized that his wife is beautiful if wearing new clothes and dressing up. During this time, Surya only saw me wearing a shabby negligee, my face and hair in the original pigtail, according to the living he gave me.


Mas Surya took us to a recreation park. The place where I used to visit when I wasn't married with my coworkers. After the wedding, this time I returned.


Two hours is enough to make Zain happy and satisfied to play in the recreation park. Then mas Surya invited us to eat in a house to eat lesehan. He told me to order whatever food I wanted to eat but I only ordered rice plus grilled chicken and chicken soup for Zain.


"Nuri, why is the message just grilled chicken? don't you want to eat another. This menu is delicious!"


"No mas, roasting chicken is enough. I'm afraid that the message of many menus is afraid not to run out, baby," I replied.


Mas Surya smiled then stroked my head slowly. I don't know what's on his mind right now, I don't know.


By late afternoon we decided to go home let alone see Zain was exhausted. Arriving at home I immediately bathed Zain and then cleaned my own body that felt sticky by sweat.


I lyrically mas Surya who was playing his phone while sitting on the living room sofa then I approached him and walked slowly. He looked up to realize my arrival might be sniffing the smell of shampoo coming out of my wet hair.


With a smile he said," very dear fragrance, make the mas lusting."
