“Looks like your husband is a good man, huh?” ask Pure Mother.
“Alhamdulillah, Buk. Bang Rendra loves children very much even a little firmly.”
“Army is so.”
Cut looked at his former in-laws a little hesitantly, “Buk, sir, actually someone wants Cut to convey.”
The two old men also looked curious let alone see the look on Cut's face immediately turned serious. “What's up, Son?”
“Cut met with Brother Shinta, the same mother you still remember right?”
The old man was shocked, they couldn't possibly forget the woman who had already destroyed his child. Then Cut tells the chronology of the incident where she almost messed with the ex of her former husband. Pure Mother and Mr. Fahri could hardly hide his surprise let alone the fact that Anugrah almost married the daughter of the woman.
“Are they married?” lirih Pure Mother.
“What is Faisal married to Shinta?” this time, Fahri asked.
“No, Sir, Ma. Shinta's sister married another man. That means Bang Fais wasn't there that night. And Kak Shinta's son with Bang Fais had died before Bang Fais went there.” explained Cut.
“Means Fais we're gone, sir. He's been leaving us forever.” Break the cry of Pure Mother.
Shinta's existence becomes a clue that confirms that their son did not meet with Shinta.
“Assalamualaikum,” Kak Julie came with Bang Adi.
Cut and Bang Adi were both shocked. “When did you go back to Aceh? Why not give me news. Know that we can go home all.” Bang Adi.
“Mother why are you crying?” ask Julie who was hugging her mother.
“Fais did not meet the woman. Your sister is dead. It's all Mom's fault. If that night Mom forbade him to leave for sure now he's alive.” Pure Mother complained of blaming herself. While Cut so go awry when he saw the condition of his former mother-in-law.
At the same time, Faris had gone home with a crackle filled with satay. Anugrah also wrapped an egg martabak that he had never eaten with Iskandar. Bang Adi and Kak Juli did not expect to meet them. Especially Kak Julie who never went outside Aceh again since Bang Adi married and had his own house.
“When do you arrive?” ask Rendra to her sister-in-law.
“Newly, Bang. Get Brother Julie. Reni same kids are still there. Why didn't you say you wanted to go back to Aceh? We can go home with.”
“Incriminate plan. People home also no one knows.” Answer Rendra.
“Grandma why?” tanya Iskandar saw her grandmother was sad while hugging Aunt Julie.
Mr. Fahri told them what Cut told them before. Bang Adi and Kak Julie were surprised to hear this.
“So, Fais's son is the same as him already dead? Why was he dead when he told me? The woman intentionally damaged your household and she managed to do it.
Rendra and Anugrah feel like they are in a foreign place when the family discusses the past with the woman who is their future. “Papa must be patient. Marrying a woman who has a past is not easy.” Anugrah Whisper.
Rendra glared at the son who looked relaxed, “Then you how are you? No more worries?” satirize the father. But Anugrah remained relaxed even smiling toothpaste style facing her father's innuendo.
Seeing this family drama seems not to be over yet, Anugrah who was curious about the taste of the egg martabak and the cane bread was immediately headed for the kitchen. There Kak Wati was preparing dishes for their dinner.
“Buk, pinjem pyrin same place for hand washing dong.” Anugrah smiled at the woman his mother's age.
“The place of hand washing is there, the plate I put on the table yes.”
Grace does not heed the running family drama. He casually ate food at the dining table while occasionally glancing towards the family room. Faris and Rendra who saw his son's behavior could only shake their heads.
“Is, Grandma's granddaughter. Is stay here huh! Grandma wants to stay close to Grandma. Grandma is old, Grandma wants to live near Grandma's favorite granddaughter, can ya?”
Well, the Anugrah is starting to get distracted. He didn't want his brother to stay here. “Nek, Brother is already working there. What if Grandma moved there?” everyone was astonished to hear the words that came out not from the mouth of Iskandar the beloved grandson but from Anugrah.
Anugrah came to the grandmother and sat on the floor with the plate still in hand. “Nek, just move there! we don't have a grandmother anymore. There is also Aunt Reni and other grandchildren of Grandma. Cool was it my idea?” ask the Anugrah without sin.
Pure Mother seemed to think. “If Grandma goes there, Grandpa how?” celtuk Mr. Fahri.
“Kakek comes too. My grandfather must be happy that he has friends. The house is also big if only for Grandma and Grandpa is more than enough. Om Adi can also move there if you want to be Grandpa will not be trivial because Aunt Reni will accompany Grandpa continue.” Sahut Anugrah.
Either he possessed the ghost of a martabak or the ghost of a goat that was just slaughtered and then made into satay that they bought. He was very talkative when his position there was not the granddaughter of the family.
“Om can not move, assets Iskandar Om manage. Om is also tied to a permanent job here not unemployment who is free to go anywhere.” replied Bang Adi on his puppet which is considered very chatty like this.
“Buk, sir, the satellite is ready. If not in the meal now it will be cold.” Kak Wati's words from the dining table disperse their debate. Iskandar and Anugrah seemed to be enjoying their meal. This is the first time to taste the famous ripe satay in Aceh.
After eating, they continued to talk. Bang Adi also stayed here because there is a family from his wife.
Dreetts…
“Hallo, Bang. Did you meet Brother Rendra?” ask Reni across the phone.
“Yes, they're staying at Ibuk's house. My brother also lives there. Why?”
“Nothing, just curious. Yes, I closed ya!”
Reni looked annoyed but she couldn't do anything either. The next day, Rendra's family returned to Mak Cek Siti's house. And the grandmother's drama is not over yet, Pure Mother is holding Iskandar to leave but Rendra and Cut are unlikely to leave her son there. She herself prefers her mother. After Pure Mother and Pak Fahri fell asleep, Cut, Kak Julie, Bang Adi, Rendra and Iskandar and Anugrah sat together. That night was so unlucky for Anugrah because his words this afternoon actually made Kak Julie angry.
“Not that I forbid Mom and Dad to leave, but the condition does not allow to go far let alone take a plane. Next time do not give any advice before knowing the condition. Your intentions are good but wrong time. Maybe it was, but now it's too late. I can't blame you, Cut for telling me about Shinta. They deserve to know even if it will affect their health. They had to be happy in their old age but the regret for Fais was so strong. If it can be cruel, it may be better that they do not meet again with Iskandar. Because the presence of Iskandar will make Mother and Father more guilty and the end of the trial will reduce their health. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kick out, but you better leave tomorrow. I do not want, Mother and Father will be more hopeful with Iskandar. Iskandar himself could not stay here. So if only to stop for a moment it is better not to.”
All speechless, what Brother Julie said was painful but the truth is like that. Julie's sister doesn't want to give her parents false hope. During this time, he was the one who took care of his mother while the younger brother worked managing the various assets they had including Iskandar's.
“Is, do you want to see your legacy? Because you are an adult and are here so you take care of the ownership in your name.”
“Wuih, Sister returned home suddenly tajir. Well me?” lamented Anugrah.
“You are also in Java there!” iskandar Balak.
All eyes were on Iskandar but what was more shocked than all that was Rendra. He as a child did not know that his son had an inheritance. “You know where?” is from tanya Rendra looked seriously at Iskandar's bead eyes.
“When the event akikah he, Grandma said to her friends if she would bequeath some land for Anugrah because she is Grandma's favorite grandson.”
Anugrah chuckled, “So that's why Brother doesn't like me from childhood? Brother is jealous because I am Grandma's favorite grandchild or because Brother is not given the same legacy Grandma?”
“I'm not angry because of that. I'm angry because grandma -, come on!” Iskandar almost gave up his talk.
“Sorry, Sister Julie. It's all because I don't know the situation. I shouldn't have told you anything about Brother Shinta.”
Glegs…
The look on Anugrah's face instantly turned sour. “Good you didn't marry the daughter of the woman who had troubled your mother's household first. If you are married, surely your mother will not calm down until her old age.” Kak Julie's Syndicate.
“If Tiara's mother wasn't around then I wouldn't have been born, Auntie.”
Skakmatt's…
Brother Julie lost to the 25-year-old. Rendra, Adi and Faris tried to hold back their laughter.
“Is home first yes, Nek.” Said Iskandar squatting in front of the grandmother.
Repeatedly Pure Mother held the grandchild but according to what Sister Julie said last night, if you can't stay better don't stop by! Although heavy, they left the grandmother and returned to Mak Cek Siti's house. After getting there, it turns out Mae and his wife are already there waiting for him. They all shake hands. Mae tears when she sees the brother and baby she once found are adults.
“Mae, this is the baby that the grandmothers love to you. Unwilling baby in your sling.” Said Mr. Cek Amir while pointing at Iskandar.
“We call him what, Ma?” ask Iskandar when shaking hands with Mae.
“Pak Check Mae.” Mae replied quickly.
“Adik from Mama means Pak Cek.” The mother's words confirmed Mae's words.
They sit in the living room. Mae's children were running around freely in Mak Cek Siti's house guarded by her mother.
“Check, Mae, if you go home safely no?” ask Cut.
“Cut want to make a pilgrimage to Bang Ilham's grave, Mr. Cek.” Cut.
“Aman, Brother. When do you want to go home? let Mae accompany.”
“If today can?” ask Cut.
The distance from the city of Banda to Cut village is only about 3 hours drive by private car. If through public transport buses will be much longer because they have to wait for passengers at the terminal until a full new bus departs.
“This Papa task area first time sent to Aceh.” Obviously Rendra as they were on their way to Sagoe's gampong. Along the way, Rendra continued to tell many things while they served there to the son.
“Mama really from the village huh?” guru Anugrah's.
They arrived in front of the land only visible graves, mango stems and rambutan stems. Cut's tears trickled as he looked at the empty land that used to have their home on it. Once burned, the house was never built again.
They approached the tomb that looks unkempt, full of weeds that cover the foundation of the tomb.
“Mae, please pinjami machete in neighbor's house!” pinta Cut's.
After Mae returned with a machete, the villagers began to come to them. The news of Cut's return made an uproar one village and as a result they went straight to the land where Abu's house was burned first.
Rendra was a little panicked but he had no other choice but to try to monitor the movements of the citizens.
“Dek, Beware!”
