CUTS
The Unexpected Guest...

“What's with Risma? Looks like she's not okay?”

The faces of the two old men Risma immediately saddened to hear the question from Mother Yetti. “Sorry, if you can't tell me. It's okay.” Continue Ms. Yetti while holding the hand of Buk Risna.

“As I said earlier, the boy has got his karma. She betrayed her husband after the divorce. He was even left behind on the grounds that the man could not afford to part with his future wife. What a fate of Risma. Now he's moved back here after living for a year with that guy."

"Are they married?” ask Mother Yetti to hesitate.

According to him as a person with eastern customs. Living together without marriage is a sin and a disgrace to the family.

“They got married under the hands and divorced too. What to do, Yet. All is in effect.” Answer Risna's Mother.

“What is Risma pregnant?” ask Mother Yetti back. Actually, Mother Yetti felt bad to ask further but the curious soul of mothers especially they often tell stories together to make Mother Yetti still desperate to ask.

“I'm grateful it didn't happen, Ris. What would people say if they found out Risma was pregnant without a husband. Fortunately they both do not want children so until separated even Risma is not pregnant.”

“Thank God then. Patient ones, Na. We each have our own exams. I myself really want a grandchild even Rendra married a woman with problems in her womb. What can be done, the determination is round. We just follow him instead of him doing recklessly by ruining his life.”

“Already, the times are getting more sophisticated. There are many ways to get a child. There are many programs we can follow. So, you guys don't have to be afraid. Let them be happy do not add any more to our desire.” Wise advice came out of Mr. Wahid's mouth.

The couple nodded their heads. Without them noticing, a pair of ears were listening to their conversation behind the window. The woman looked at the sky with meaningful eyes.

Rendra invites Cut back to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the afternoon. They went around and stopped at the food or snack vendor. Cut likes meatballs until Rendra takes him to a meatball stall. After being satisfied around while tasting various snacks that Cut first met. They decided to go back home. And when they arrived in front of their house, they were surprised by the unexpected arrival of two people.

“Why? Did we interrupt your honeymoon?”

“Ti-not at all, Ma. Just surprised because you guys didn't tell me first.” Answer Rendra.

The two husbands entered followed by Cut. He went to the kitchen to make tea for his father-in-law.

“We just returned from Hasyim's house and sent here because we have never visited you after you moved here. Here's Mother Risna's take-off for you.”

Yetti's mother handed Cut a paper bag containing several food boxes. “What do you feel at home here, Cut?” ask Mr. Wicaksono.

“Aalhamdulillah's. At home, Sir.”

“Good then. You have to go out often to adapt. Either way you'll stay here long and if Rendra's a job later. You won't be confused here.”

“Iya, Sir.”

“Cut will not be confused, Pa. later also met other persit mothers from Aceh also exist. Many members of Rendra also married Aceh.” girls

They had a conversation about half an hour ago when Rendra's parents decided to go home.

Before returning home, Mother Yetti whispered something into the son's ear. “Tadi Mama met Risma. His condition is very sad. If you have time, talk to him. Maybe he can open a little with you.”

Rendra looked at her mother, “Our relationship is over, Ma. Not good for our household if Rendra is still in touch with him.”

The two old men left. While Cut immediately turned to enter the house after dropping off his in-laws.

Mmmpp…

Rendra hugged Cut from behind who was wiping glasses and plates. “What's up?” whisper in the wife's ear.

“No.”

“Do not keep doubts in heart. It can be a big problem for a long time. We've experienced it, haven't we? So whatever you're feeling right now, talk to me.”

Cut stopped his activity. “Means what you said to Mama, what?”

Rendra smiled and told her everything her mother whispered. “What is it now quiet?” her soft tan still hugged the wife from behind.

Cut small nods then –

Aaaa……

Rendra holding Cut suddenly made Cut surprised until he involuntarily screamed. Rendra took the wife to the room. It was late and tomorrow was the first day he returned to service. They sit face to face, “Is it ready for tomorrow?” asked Rendra while looking at the gentle wife full of smiles.

Cut nodded, “But a little scared.” Lirih Cut's.

“Let's relax, tomorrow I'll be with you for a while then you'll quickly blend in with them. The important thing is that you have to be brave and behave as you normally would. Understand?”

Cut back nods, “If now, I ask you not to be shy can?”

Rendra's question confused Cut. He looked at the smiling husband while raising his eyebrows. Although their marriage was new in a matter of days but Cut understood the meaning of the husband. Although this marriage is not the first but still every Rendra gives a code. He was always ashamed to start first.

Cup…

“It turns out that if you start first it feels different, Darling.”

Cut covered his face with both palms. For the first time, she kissed the husband on the cheek.

“You know, Honey? You are special to me. Don't face the people out there. Enough for me, there's no need for anyone out there. So, hold your head up from tomorrow no more looking down. You deserve me and I should be grateful to get you. So trust yourself from tomorrow. Don't be weak. If you are weak, you will be easily oppressed. A parajurit wife should be strong with all situations and conditions.”

“Iya, I understand.”

“There or not I'm on your side later. You must stay strong and courageous. Promise me that you must be strong and brave.”

Cut looked at the husband closely, “Why did Brother say so?” ogre.

“You have been reminded before. I just remind you again if this is how life becomes a parajurit wife. I could die on the battlefield or in training. No one knows. I just want you to be prepared for all the possibilities that can happen at any time. Hence, this house I bought in your name.”

“Haaahhh?”
