The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand

The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Andre is a forced man


It's been a week, but Surya has not given his decision on what I'm proposing between two options: to divorce me or divorce Ipah. He never called me again or picked up the phone and replied to the message I sent him. I just want a clear status and I need certainty from Surya. Thinking about my status hanging enough made me dizzy once and it seemed like I needed some entertainment.


"Do I go recreation let my brain fresh! after all, I have money," I said as I stroked my forehead which felt dizzy.


For several months I was at home just busy working with my work, making crackers and distributing them. Today I plan to put my work at home together and decide to go for recreation with Zain, once to make Zain happy too.


"Zain, are we on the road?"take me to Zain who's pushing his car.


"Alan alan mama..holeee alan alan!" Zain exclaimed while jumping - jump for joy. After that, I prepared to change my clothes as well as Zain's with more decent clothes.


When I opened the door, I was startled by the arrival of Andre who was already standing at the door smiling sweetly at me. In my heart I asked, when did Andre come? because I didn't hear the sound of the car.


"Andre..!"greet me while looking at her casual appearance, shorts and T-shirts. Because, it's unusual for Andre to look like that and if he meets me he always wears a shirt and trousers.


"Hey...Mahmud, handsome.how are you?"Andre greeted back, his outstretched hand pinched Zain's small cheek and made him laugh wide.


"We're good Dre, you tumben..!"I did not continue my words but my eyes still looked at his simpler-looking appearance.


"Tumben I'm dressed like this huh?"it turned out that Andre was aware of my astonishment.


"Despite my appearance like this but my good looks don't fade right Nuri?"move with confidence.


Honestly I say, wearing a broad shirt like a kingpin will not reduce the good looks of Andre, he is handsome and I do not deny it.


"Anyway..Where are you going? it's so tidy."


"Allen.om!"zain's chirps arrived.


Andre crouched down and asked, "Wow, where is Zain going? can you come with me?" Zain looked up high looking at my face, I knew what Zain thought he was like asking for my approval. Andre looked up and asked, "how can Mahmud, what handsome om can come?"


"No!"I hurriedly refused, not without reason I refused it because I did not want our departure together to be a slander like some time ago.


"You refuse me to come with you mahmud?" he asked while standing straight back up his body.


"I don't want to be the gossip of Dre!"


"Did the three religious pretenders spread the issue in this village?" ask her with a serious face. I turned my eyes the other way because I didn't want to look into Andre's eyes.


"Where is their home I want to teach them a lesson?" ask again in a furious tone.


I took a short breath."Never mind that Dre doesn't have to talk about it anymore, I want to go now." Then I locked my house and led Zain away but only a few steps Andre spoke.


"Are you angry with me, Nuri?" asked Andre in a slightly high voice. I tilted my face looking at him and replied, "I'm not angry Dre, I'm just upset."


"What a difference is it with angry Nuri!"


" Beda andre!"


"Just like Nuri!"


"Dong different!"I still cling to my opinion.


Andre gave a crisp laugh and said, "yes then you guys have hearts there."


After a little argument with Andre I stepped my legs back but only a few steps I was confused, confused how to get me quickly to the highway because my village is very rare ojek services. I looked back and saw Andre still standing where he was watching me while smiling with a faint smile.


"Do you need my help Nuri?"asked Andre in a quip.


Andre stopped the car right next to me and opened the windshield."Come up, I'll take you to the highway, "I'm silent and confused to accept his offer or refuse.


"You've been thinking a lot about Nuri, quickly take pity on Zain if you walk." Andre still took it with a little force.


I snorted in annoyance then opened the car door and climbed on it. Andre smiled looking at my pouting look.


"You manyun, you want to mange, you want to grin your mama still look beautiful Zain and om still fascinated by your mama."Andre teasing me. I cut my lips and turned my eyes towards the side glass.


"Don't try to tease a married woman if you don't want to get bogeman from her husband" I said with a sideways view. Andre laughs loudly maybe he thinks my words are a joke, then he beats it."How strong is your husband? I'm so curious ha ha." I glanced lazily at him because he was laughing at me.


After arriving on the highway Andre did not stop his car but drove increasing speed. I was confused by him then glanced at Andre who was focusing on driving and protested." Why didn't you stop your car at the rolling Dre? where are you taking me?"


"Where are you going Mahmud?let me just drive you in my car."


I grunted angrily at Andre's coercive attitude, I told him I didn't want to go with him but he was still pushy.


"Let me down here, Dre!" tell him I'm.


"No Nuri, I will take you and Zain to the destination, danger if a woman as beautiful as you walk alone, what if there are bad people who disturb you later?" Andre refused and reasoned.


"But I'm not alone Dre, what does Zain think he is? the puppet? say me with annoyance.


"Ha.ha.ha.but Zain is still Nuri's toddler, he can't protect you yet. You need a protector as big as I am Nuri, I don't care even though there you will consider me only a bodyguard."


I cut my lips, very upset at Andre's attitude that I felt a little possessive. I no longer chimed in and chose silence.


Andre took us to the children's recreation park at my request. Andre had offered me to visit the beach but I refused because I brought Zain, I think it is not good to bring toddlers to the beach especially the waves are high and the sea breeze is quite strong.


After arriving there, Andre booked three tickets for us. I was going to pay for it myself, but Andre forced me to use his money and I was forced to keep my money back.


"Bas on a forced man."I cursed, then left Andre who was laughing crisply to hear my curse.


After entering the area of the recreation park that is quite spacious, not a few pairs of eyes that pay attention to the three of us, maybe they think we are one perfect small family, the handsome Andre, Zain is handsome and adorable and I am who most people say has the perfect physique.


I ignored the amazed looks of people on us then took Zain to the zoo area first before going to other areas because I wanted to introduce him to the type of animals that were there.


"Zain let me just carry Nuri, pity if the walk is far enough." Andre volunteered to hold Zain and I let him go.


After arriving at the zoo area, I introduced one by one the types of animals that were in brackets. Zain seemed very enthusiastic to see and hear the explanation that I told him. This is a new experience for Zain to see a variety of animals in real life.


We were in the zoo area for a long time and then we decided to visit the children's playground. Andre volunteered again to take Zain to the children's playground and I let him go. In my heart I said, there was also a good thing that Andre came along, besides paying for the ticket he also carried Zain to and fro so I didn't have to suck or get tired of carrying him.


After arriving at the children's playground, we sat on a long bench to relieve fatigue for a moment.


"You guys wait here a minute, okay?" andre said arriving.


I glanced at Andre who was sitting next to Zain then asked, "where are you going?"


"I want to buy a drink first, you're thirsty, aren't you?" answer, then stand up straight. I held my throat which was thirsty and nodded slowly.


After that, Andre went to look for a drink seller and I stared at his back until he reached the distance with a bright and clever mind if.


"It turns out you're here Nuri!"the greeting of a man's voice broke my daydream. then I turned to the side where the source of the voice was and was immediately surprised to find the man I had been having a hard time contacting standing straight before me.
