CUTS
Advice or ???

Cut's happiness has been complete after Iskandar's return. Although Iskandar was closer to Rendra, Cut remained happy. The originally deserted house has now been colored with the presence of Iskandar. The toddler grew up healthy and cheerful. The happiness that Rendra felt was also complete. He never again found a little face, a puffy eye or a little stuffing in the middle of the night. Now, his wife's face was only filled with happiness full of smiles. In fact, even to sleep his wife remains in a state of smile.

Every day when he first opened his eyes, Cut would kiss him gently and say thank you over and over again. Rendra was so happy because her wife's change was so obvious. Happiness that is hard to bear because it is too big. Today they are ready to go to Aceh. After two months finally, the family from Aceh was ready to welcome their arrival.of course today is very happy for Cut. For the first time after marriage he returned to his homeland again.

Rendra carried Iskandar. They don't carry a lot of clothes because it's only up to a week. One place other than the event venue that became Cut's main list after getting there. Actually he also wanted to visit the grave of his late brother in the village but the post-peace atmosphere was still uncertain coupled with the presence of Rendra who had served there made Cut reluctant to convey his wishes to the husband.

By late afternoon, they landed in Aceh and were immediately picked up by Mr. Cek Amir at the airport. They all stayed at the house that Bang Adi had built for Reni. Mak Cek Siti's family has also been there to welcome their arrival. The reception will be held the day after tomorrow.

The next day, Cut invites Rendra and Iskandar and Pak Cek Amir to visit the mass grave where Abu and Umi are buried.

“Assalamualaikum, Ash, Umi. Sorry for just coming in now. Cut came with Iskandar and also Bang Rendra. May Abu and Umi be happy to see Cut now. Cut was happy, Abu, Umi with a man who God willingly fit the prayer and hope of Abu and Umi during life.”

They were there for almost two hours. Then after ending the prayer, they returned home to prepare various necessities for tomorrow. The party at Bang Adi's house this time is really festive because Bang Adi who is self-proclaimed will not get married in the end married too. Even unmitigated, the woman who managed to steal his heart actually came from a faraway place.

Every guest who knew about Bang Adi specifically came just to see what kind of face the woman who had managed to tear down the block of ice in Bang Adi's heart. Pure Mother to cut a special goat as a form of release of her vows because the son finally married.

On his sister's happy day, Kak Juli instead looks focused with some invited guests who are none other than colleagues in his office.

“When, Li?”

Although paled but the earlobe of Kak Julie tried to stay strong to hear the same question almost countless more.

“Wait for the horse to lay eggs first.” Julie replied if her friends asked.

“One face of the shophouse so a gift, can?” kak Julie's answer if you ask her close family.

“Wait for a daughter of a widower first.” Answers to the gossipy neighbors.

Not nobody wants to be with Kak Juli but her position as a prosecutor with her official uniform and her good appearance makes the men reluctant to approach. Coupled with her intelligence, it was difficult for Kak Julie to find the right companion to her liking.

Cut met many relatives who attended the party. All the immediate family knew his current position had changed. She is no longer the daughter-in-law in Mr. Fahri's family but instead becomes the sister-in-law to Adi.

“The world is weird, right? Adi used to be your brother-in-law now even the opposite.” Say one family.

Cut responded with a smile. The truth is as they say, there is nothing to dispute.

“We heard you can't get pregnant anymore huh? Try to go to the masseuse. Who knows if you could get pregnant again.” Advice from another relative.

“Truely that. My son is also that first. The doctor said she had a hard time getting pregnant. I kept telling him to go to the village eh turns out, 3 months of treatment she was pregnant.” Follow other relatives.

“Iya, Son. Poor husband you're young. She also wants to have her own children. His family also wants a grandchild. Don't you feel sorry for your husband?” knock the other one out.

Cut could only smile wryly. How could he face so many discordant voices that continued to bully him like a termite gnawing at wood. He needs fresh air to rebalance himself. Various advice was again heard from various mouths until the voice was stopped due to the arrival of Rendra.

Rendra always comes at the right time. He is no longer able to support his body longer if Rendra does not come to his aid.

“Mom-mom, I brought Cut for a while ya.”

Rendra grabbed his wife by the shoulder and took her away, leaving behind a swarm of middle-aged women with mouths sharper than bullets.

“Don't think what they say! Our lives, we decide.”

“But what they say has a point. Are we not required to try? What's wrong we tried who knows Mama can still get pregnant, Pa.”

Rendra stared fixedly at the wife. Under the tent, the two sat facing each other. For the first time, Cut said something they had never talked about.

“Pa-“

Cut called her husband back. During Iskandar's existence in their lives. His second calling had changed because Iskandar was quick to catch every word he said. To train Iskandar, then they agreed to change the call so ‘Mama’ and ‘Papa’

“Honey, all this time our household is fine. So do not invite things that will make us quarrel with each other like this.” Rendra began to advise gently.

“Didn't you want to have your own child? Mama is happy because Papa wants to think of Iskandar as his own child but Mama also wants to carry Papa.”

“Honey, the air is so hot. Please get me a drink, yeah?”

Finally, Rendra gave up. He cannot continue this discussion. They're here to attend his sister's reception.

“Yes Allah, keep all problems in our household life.”

Cut was taking a drink for her husband. A relative suddenly approached him.

“I still keep the medicine and prayers that used to be practiced with Nur before she became pregnant. Do you want?”
