The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Raihan's lover

The woman brought herself closer to Raihan and stood right before him regardless of our whereabouts.

"Congratulations dear.The end of your mind has been reached. I am so happy!" he said with a smile and then gave the flower to Raihan. Raihan glanced at me but I turned my face the other way, the pain of seeing Raihan already having a lover.

I was wondering if Raihan wanted revenge on me considering how I used to defend Surya's mas more than divorce and marry him, and now when I'm divorced Raihan already has a lover who looks perfect, beautiful, graceful and like his rich man. If compared to me, what am I nothing.

Raihan took the flower from the hands of a graceful woman I did not know her name and said, "thank you Ra!"

The woman smiled and said, "sorry baby, my father can't attend because there is a sudden business in Singapore. He said hello to you." Sure enough my guess is that the woman is the son of a rich man.

Raihan only smiled a little then he glanced at me back but this time I did not turn my face but looked at him. I try to be as calm as possible because even though Raihan is innocent, Raihan does not hurt me he also has the right to be happy and has the right to choose anyone he considers fit to be his lover.

"This is the son of who Rai is, very handsome," the woman asked as she pinched Zain's cheek.

"It....!"

"This is my future wife's daughter miss!" said Andre cut off the raihan speech that had not been thrown. The look on Raihan's face turned into a look of annoyance, as if he didn't like Andre's words. So do I. I looked in annoyance at Andre, just carelessly confessing I was his future wife.

"This is my love to you!" Andre takes Zain from Raihan's arms and Raihan is forced to give Zain to Andre.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but this is Raihan?" ask the woman.

"I'm Andre miss, Raihan's cousin." Andre reached out his hand and was greeted by the woman and said, "Oh, Raihan's cousin, I'm sorry I don't know because Raihan himself hasn't told me about his family. I'm Nura mas."

"Nura?"said Andre, then released his hand link.

"Yes, why is it?"ask the woman who just told you that her name is Nura. If you think why the name is almost the same as my name, only one number is different.

"Kok, the name is only one letter different from...!" Andre turned his head towards me and the woman followed Andre's gaze.

"Mother's Zain" she continued later.

The woman frowned and asked, "his mother Zain, you mean?" he asked Andre, I spontaneously looked up and looked at him.

"Who is this?" ask him. Before Andre answered that it wasn't better that I introduced myself.

"My name is Nuri, Andre's friend and neighbor.....Raihan in the village." Then I lowered my face.

"Well, so this is Raihan's neighbor in the village? greetings yes mba, my name is Nura but our name is almost the same yes mba only different one letter ha ha."

"You have a boyfriend who never told or known us Rai? more like mom?" tanya Bu Haji arrived and made Nura speechless.

Raihan did not heed the question of the hajj maam but his glance led to me. It seems like he was reluctant to introduce the woman to us or maybe he felt bad for me.

"What's Raihan's aunt?" ask the woman, then she steps one step closer to the Hajj and says hello," Auntie, how are you? then she cheered and kissed the left and right cheeks of Hajj.

"Good thanks, sorry son can I know if Nura's really Raihan's girlfriend?"ask Bu Haji like making sure.

The woman smiled then glanced at Raihan who was lowering his face a little then turned to look at Bu Haji again."True my aunt.Raihan's girlfriend," said the woman while smiling shyly.

Bu Haji frowned then turned to look at Raihan and asked, "you have a girlfriend all this time why did you never tell Rai's mother?"

I don't want to hear about this woman's relationship with Raihan anymore. I can say I'm jealous, I admit that I'm jealous.

"Dre, I'll take Zain for a second!" say me while looking down. My permission that arrived made everyone turn to me including Raihan.

"Where are you?ask Andre.

"Toilet." I reasoned when in fact I just wanted to avoid their chatter. Then I walked away and Andre didn't allow it.

I put my feet out of direction until I got away from the crowd. Entering a hallway, what a hallway. My mind is messed up, my tears are flowing, am I sorry that I ignored Raihan first? is this how Raihan felt when I married Surya? it hurts, it hurts so much when the person we love has become someone else's. Maybe this is Raihan's reply to me, so I can feel how painful it is.

When I was walking in no direction and tears came, someone smothered my mouth and pushed me into a room. After being inside the room, he took his hand out of my mouth and I turned around. I was shocked to find the figure I was crying in front of me.

With trembling lips and tears I said, "Rai.han...." Raihan stared fixedly at my face as well as I stared fixedly at his face. Then her hands covered my face and wiped my tears as she said, "I miss you so much !"

My feelings at this time can be said between happy and sad. It's good that Raihan admits that he misses me and is sad because he already has a girlfriend.

I held both hands Raihan was about to lower it from my face but he held it and shook his head. Then he brought his face closer and left only a few inches between our faces. Within such a close distance I could hear his breathing roar and smell the scent of mint. It didn't take Raihan long to kiss my lips, I was surprised but I missed him so much it's not hypocritical that I wanted it from him myself. I returned Raihan's kiss. Long enough we pagut each other until we forget for a moment the name of sin because we are just ordinary people not holy people who never escape from the khilaf and sin.

We released our pagutan after feeling the oxygen stock had been depleted in the pulmonary cavity. I inhaled a lot of air and what I did made Raihan smile funny.

"I'm sorry mba, I miss you so much."

"If you miss why don't you go home and see me?"

"Because I don't know if I'm divorced yet."

"Well, did you know I was divorced?"

Raihan nodded."I actually know that I just got divorced today."

"today? who told you?"

"My mother was before you came. Is it true that Andre said he was his future wife?"

I shook my head and replied, "we have no other relationship than a friend."

"really?"

I nodded slowly then asked back, "what is your lover Nura Rai?"

Raihan sighed heavily then nodded slowly.

My eyes started to look glassy again because Raihan admitted it honestly.

"You said you loved me Rai? but why do you have a lover?"

"I'm sorry mba, because I used to feel I wouldn't be able to have mba because mba herself said that mba did not want to part with mas Surya when I asked mba to divorce her. From there I realized that I should not continue to impose my own desires. I have to move on."

It was so hard to hear Raihan's explanation. He wasn't wrong, I was wrong because it all came from myself, so now just feel the consequences.
