CUTS
Them and Memories...

Satan has always been able to tempt man with a below average level of faith so that he is easily tempted by looking for various reasons as a justification for the mistakes he made. For Faisal, Shinta's pregnancy was an unintentional mistake she made because of the caliphate.

His doubts about the fetus become complementary on the grounds that they only do that once without safety until Faisal easily forgets Shinta and lives life like nothing happened in front of Cut. Time is powerful as a medicine to forget a thing that we do not want to remember let alone an event or secret that deserves to be buried forever.

As for Risma, it was not a mistake but a necessity. He could not afford to be left behind by months of duty by Rendra. She needs her right as a wife, which is a biological need like a husband and wife in general. Risma thought that if Rendra who already had a high rank would not be sent again to serve in the conflict area.

In fact, Rendra remained on duty even when they had not been married for long.

Risma needs the warmth of a husband, especially when he is tired of working. As a woman, she needs a backrest and Rendra is not there when she needs it.

“Didn't you have been reminded of premarital debriefing time?” asked a man dressed in a dress in front of him.

Currently, Risma is undergoing a trial with Rendra at the military office. Risma's affair was uncovered after a military reconnaissance over information from Mr. Edy Wicaksono. Rendra could only remain silent. He failed as a husband. His ego as a man was shattered in front of the commanders who were the judges in the room.

Mr. Edy Wicaksono was forced to do that because he did not want his son to be more injured by thinking about the best way out for them and of course it will take more time. Although impressed quickly but Mr. Edy was happy because his son did not have to think about the problem again. Although the risk remains for the son but it is better than convoluted.

In the dictionary of Mr. Edy Wicaksono's life, infidelity is unacceptable. That is what underlies his actions for the son. Trial to divorce does not take long for both. Both Risma and Rendra have agreed to end their marriage.

The difficulty of Rendra and Risma's relationship has an impact on the relationship between the two families. Risma's parents must bear the shame and apologize to Rendra's family who in fact are their own friends.

“Already, it let it be a children's problem, will not affect our relationship as old friends, it is not,” said Father Edy wise but still both parents Risma feel guilty and bad for his ex-made.

Risma, who is officially divorced, has to leave the house after the father's anger. He chose to stay on one roof with his lover. While Rendra chose to stay in the mess after selling the house he had been living with Risma.

Time passes by so quickly for those who pass by it joyfully. As Cut went through at the moment. He was attending a new home thanksgiving event for his parents who had finished and were ready to be occupied. The house located not far from the market area looks beautiful and crowded because Abu and Umi also invited their second extended family in the village. He had been there a long time to help his family.

Little Rendra who is no longer a baby looks fun playing with his friends who are next door neighbors. Mae looks busy cooking. Mae has become a replacement boy for Abu and Umi. His age has moved to adulthood. The salary that has been saved by Umi in gold is more than enough to open a business and get married. However, Abu forbade him to open a new business. The store that Abu originally rented was already owned by Abu after being assisted by Pak Cek Amir to increase the lack of funds to buy the shophouse.

Because Mae wishes to have her own business, Abu asks Mae to continue the shophouse. In exchange, Mae only needed to provide rent for him for daily purposes because Abu and Umi who chose not to trade anymore. From the results of the shophouse rental, Abu, Umi and Rendra lived. Coupled with the results of selling chicken and duck eggs are more than enough for the three.

The Thanksgiving ceremony began with a condolence as a form of prayer from the two parents to the children, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and Razi who had left them first. The tears were still coming out even though it had been a very long time. Even when the grandson who survived alone came and sat in the lap of the grandfather. The hearts of both parents still hurt like a knife. Far from the bottom of their hearts, they missed their son. Wanted to hold her tight.

Faisal wiped the tears that came out when he saw the sadness in the eyes of his parents. He also misses Ilham and Razi. Both are figures that he loves and misses. Both have their own meanings in Cut's life.

“Ikhlaskan! We can only pray that they all get God's heaven.” Faisal calms the wife.

Faisal himself has many memories with Razi who is his cousin. They often spend time together and what he remembers most is Razi's last words to him before he leaves for Medan for college.

“The field is free, are you sure it won't be weird to get there? Here you are wayward especially there.”

“Quiet! If I were wayward, I'd tell you first. But, not the man his name if not wayward, right?” sahut Faisal at that time with a smile and then hugged his best friend and cousin before he left.

Those who usually meet later, but in the last years. Faisal chose not to go home because he had to complete many tasks from campus. That regret also continues to imprint his heart after the departure of Razi. Until he gets married, he still hopes that Razi will be present on his happy day.

The takziah event ended about an hour later followed by a tawari flour event conducted by the village priest as a form of gratitude by offering prayers of kindness for the rumh residents who will inhabit the house.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the guests, the vibration of the mobile phone surprised Faisal who was enjoying lunch with his wife.

“Your baby in ICU!”
