CUTS
Obviousness...

“Fais!” lirih Pure Mother was so looking at the figure of the man wearing batik clothes in front of her.

Cut, Iskandar and Rendra as well as Anugrah compactly stared at Pure Mother. Kak Juli and Pak Fahri also followed where the gaze was anchored and –

“Faisal!” The man called Faisal looked at this one by one guest in front of him.

The MC who was about to say the opening greeting suddenly fell silent as one side of Faisal's hand was raised. The man walked over to the guest he had been waiting for. Guests who are his candidate.

“Fais, this is ibuk. Forgive me, Son.” Pure Mother has already shed tears. Fahri felt the same way. Sister Julie tries to calm her mother in a wheelchair. Iskandar looked at them with a confused feeling full of questioning. He saw his father-in-law's father-in-law resting at the grandmother's feet while crying.

“Ma?” Iskandar looked at his mother who was also shedding tears.

Cut hugged his son, “He's your father!”

Degs…

Iskandar was surprised as well as Anugrah who got a whisper from his father. “So this can't be continued?” asked Anugrah half-whispering.

Rendra shook her head slowly. Wulan and Bibik also wondered to see the scene that should be happy why so raking blue like this.

“Why don't you look for us?”

“You know, Mother every day asked that we could meet you again. I'm sorry, if we didn't tell you to leave that night, we wouldn't have been separated. Why aren't you looking for us? We deliberately did not move because we hoped you would come back.” Pure Mother's emotions were not restrained until she suddenly fell unconscious.

Faisal took his mother to the car. Brother Julie and Iskandar along with Pak Fahri followed behind. Rendra and Cut also follow them.The atmosphere of the building that was once warm suddenly tense. The WO officers wondered about their fellow. They were confused by the continuation of the event.

“Sorry, Sir. This how ya?” ask one of the officers to Anugrah who was about to go following to the hospital.

“It's probably off, sir.” Anugrah then went to push the Wulan wheelchair followed by Bibik. “A,-“ Anugrah suddenly stopped staring at the caller. This was the first time Wulan had called out names like her former friends.

“I didn't see Sister Aisyah. Where is he?” Anugrah and Bibik only realized that Aisyah had not been seen when they entered the venue. Then Anugrah approached one of the officers and asked about Aisyah's whereabouts.

While in one of the rooms, Aisyah was very surprised to learn from WO officers if her application had been canceled and all guests had left the building. Her tears were unbearable back then even her makeup was already irregular anymore.

“Kak Aisyah!” call Wulan.

Aisyah looked at the three figures standing in front of the door of her room. Aisyah immediately ran to hug Wulan accompanied by crying.

“Wulan, what's going on ahead? Why is this application suddenly canceled?” aisha asked in Wulan's arms.

“Kakak calm down first. If it is calm, Brother trim the make up first and then we go to the hospital. Kaka family and Kak Is family have gathered there.” said Wulan origin.

“Grandmother is sick?” Wulan nodded.

Aisyah immediately tidied up her makeup and they headed straight for the hospital without changing her clothes.

“Assalamaicum, Pa. How's Grandma doing?” ask Anugrah on the way to the hospital.

“Against the doctor. Where are you?”

“I'm again on the way to the hospital.”

“Be careful, Papa wait in the lobby yes!”

After hanging up the phone, Anugrah refocused on driving. While Aisyah who sat behind occasionally wiped her tears. Beside Aisyah was Wulan trying to calm her down.

“May Grandma be strong yes! I still want to grant Grandma's request to watch our wedding.” No one answered Aisha's words. They do not know clearly the subject until this application event is canceled. It was just that according to what they saw and heard of course they knew the reason but to convey to Aisyah at this time was not a good choice.

After arriving at the parking area, Aisyah immediately went down with Bibik while Anugrah helped Wulan to sit in a wheelchair. In the lobby, Rendra was waiting for their arrival.

“How is Grandma, Pa?” ask Anugrah back.

“Just transferred to ICU room. His age was already old and the emotional turmoil like that sometimes made his body unable to hold up to cause fainting. Come on, Papa meet the others!” take Rendra and they leave the lobby to the ICU room where all family members look tense staring at the grandmother who is lying weakly in the glass room.

“Papa, Mama,” Ogled Aisyah then walked slowly looking into the glass.

“Still waiting, Son. May Grandma be strong.” Faisal said to the princess.

Seeing the interaction of his future wife and biological father, Iskandar's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable until he decided to leave.

“Nek, keep the spirit yes! Grandma hasn't seen us married.” Said Aisyah and asked for permission to get out of there.

On one of the hospital park benches, Iskandar sat alone holding a bottle of cold drink that he had bought in the hospital canteen before going to the park. Aisyah smiled and approached her future husband.

“Mas, for drinking yes!” pinta Aisyah then took the bottle from Iskandar's hand. Aisyah was so thirsty after crying earlier that her throat felt dry. Iskandar glanced at Aisyah who was finishing her drink, “Why the lyrics? Beautiful huh?” seloroh Aisha.

“Mas, I was so scared when I heard that the application was cancelled. I wonder why it got canceled? Are you in love with another girl or something. Then Wulan came and told me that you've all been to the hospital. From there I immediately knew that it turned out that Grandma was sick. So when are we going to continue the application? Sorry, Mas. Not that I'm impatient but I also want to grant Grandma's request.”

“We will not marry, Ai!”

Aisyah smile, “When, Mas?” ayesha's hearing was not well connected until she was unaware of what Iskandar was saying. New after that, “What did you say, Mas? We're not getting married? Ck, that's really you, Mom. We have prepared everything to marry you. Joking but don't miss.” Aisha still thought that what Iskandar said was a joke.

The beads of the eyes meet and that's where Aisyah catches a different look from Iskandar's. “You're serious, Mas? Butwhy? Why are you suddenly saying we're not getting married?” Aisyah began to panic, she held Iskandar's hand. Things that Aisyah had never done all this time.

“Mas, what's up? Why did you suddenly cancel our wedding? Answer me, Mas!” Iskandar fell silent for a moment and looked at Aisyah.

“We're blood, Aisyah! Your father is my real father!” Aisyah. Iskandar's words were like lightning that struck him at that time. His brain and mind and heart were not ready to hear the reality that Iskandar had said.

“Mas, your dress is not funny!” Aisyah took back the bottle and put it on. Suddenly his throat was so dry. They need cold water as soon as possible. “I must be dreaming.” Aisha then left Iskandar alone. While in front of the ICU room, the family is still waiting for Pure Mother to wake up.

“Im sorry Mr, Fais. You left the house after you kicked out. Sorry Father!” said Mr. Fahri.

“Fais also apologized, Sir. Fais was wrong because he never came home to look for Father and Mother. Fais was too embarrassed to look for Father and Mother until finally Fais chose to live on the island of Java after volunteering during the tsunami.”

“You volunteered in Aceh? Why don't we meet?” asked Mr. Fahri surprised. Others are just listeners.

“That night Fais to Medan. Fais plans to meet Shinta and it turns out that she has gone out of town and no one knows including her parents. At that time, Fais stayed at the house of Wira and the next morning there was an earthquake and tsunami. The campus gathers graduates who want to volunteer in Aceh. At that time, Fais same friends went there but we were stationed in West Aceh. And there too, Fais met Ayu. Fais' wife now. For six months we were in West Aceh then to Aceh Jaya for a month and then back to Medan. And on returning from Aceh, Fais brought –“

“Pa, what happened? Rendra was at the event hall and WO officials said the show was cancelled. What's up, Pa?” Fais looked at Cut who was staring at Doctor Rendra.

“Pa, what's the matter?” Dr. Rendra realized that there was not only his father but someone else. He looked around and then a woman's gaze on him looked different. Doctor Rendra frowned in surprise, the woman got up and came to him. At that time, Fais stood up and stood beside Doctor Rendra.

“He's Teuku Rendra Muhammad Nur, your nephew!” tears were shed, Rendra who had been sitting stood up because of surprise and approached them.

“She, Rendra? Ilham's son?” Fais nodded at Rendra.

While Doctor Rendra looked at them with a confused look on their face. Cut immediately pulled the young man in his arms. Nothing Cut said, he just hugged the man tightly as if he did not want to be separated anymore. Doctor Rendra looked at the man he had been calling father with a questionable gaze.

“The woman who hugs you is the most meritorious person in your life. There are many stories you have missed so far. And this Checkmate of yours will tell you everything including your father and biological mother.” Fais. Fais approached his wife and hugged her tightly.

“Thank you for standing by me all this time. You are the best.” Whisper to the wife.

Iskandar stopped on the spot when he saw his mother crying in the arms of the man he knew as the future husband of Anggia. His forehead frowned in wonder, “What surprise is this?” his inner.

“Is, come!” pinta Rendra's.

Cut broke his embrace and smiled, “This is your cousin's brother! He's Teuku Rendra Muhammad Nur, son of the late brother Mama.” Iskandar was surprised and vice versa. He nodded awkwardly. The situation they met in this adult state certainly feels awkward for both of them.

“Are you not going to hug your father?” fais asked Iskandar.

Despite his doubts, Iskandar took his father's hand and kissed him. Fais hugged his son tightly. Fais who had been thinking that the child might have died from the tsunami but it turns out that the child was already grown up and almost became his son-in-law.

“Excuse me!”
