CUTS
The photo...
At one of the cafes, two young men were having a serious conversation. Iskandar's face immediately stiffened upon hearing what his sister had just said. Several times, Iskandar rubbed his face violently because he did not understand the decision of the younger brother who was considered to be an adult.
“Can't you make her a wife whole?” ask Iskandar to the brother who looks lethargic.
“Sister, i-“
“Already! You two are both selfish. What do you think of this marriage? Then Mama, have you thought about Mama's feelings?”
“Sister, Mama herself told Wulan to leave me if she was unhappy with me.”
“What??” more surprised Iskandar heard the words of his brother.
“When did Mama say that?”
“When you stay at home. And Wulan has also told Mama that she will leave after she recovers so I don't feel guilty.”
“You two are really –“ Iskandar is out of words.
“Ya do it then! It's also free I argue that in the end your decision remains unchanged.”
“I just want to say not to add to the burden Brother and Sister can continue the wedding plan with Aisyah.”
Elsewhere, Aisyah was suffering from a deep longing for Iskandar. But considering Iskandar is his brother, he is confused what to do to eliminate his longing.
“Kak Aisyah why? Miss the same Om Imam huh?” the boy Abdul came to Aisyah who was looking at the night sky through the window.
“Why haven't slept, it's already night.”
“Abdul miss Om Imam. Why is Om Imam not here anymore?”
Aisyah smiled bitterly, “Om Imam has other responsibilities in the city. If you grow up, you will understand. Come, sleep!” Aisyah closed the window and took Abdul to the room.
A week passed, Cut and Rendra had already returned to their home. As previously planned, he will convey his plan to marry Aisyah without going through a re-application. And this is where Iskandar was with his parents.
“So when will you execute Aisyah?” tanya Rendra uses special forces mode to get scorn from his wife and child.
“How about the end of this month, Ma, Pa? Marriage contract only after that new recespsi and do not need luxury, enough family and close friends only.”
“Keep from your Father's side, how?” tanya Cut later.
“I want to leave my marriage problems to Mama and Papa, can you?” Cut and Rendra smiled. This is what Iskandar hoped for. A smile from the woman who has taken care of and given birth to her.
“We're negotiating this with your Grandpa and Grandma, huh? However, they are still parents that we must respect and listen to his opinion. Mama and Papa it doesn't matter if we have to work together for your wedding.” Cut's speech made Iskandar breathe a sigh of relief. It turns out that her mother was indeed a very special woman with a spacious heart.
“Later Papa will contact Faisal to hold a family meeting.” Well, if this is Iskandar and Cut immediately guess what will happen to their Commander. After meeting Faisal who is a great doctor, Rendra a little less confident especially the face of Faisal who works in the room looks still handsome and young. Unlike her who often exercises in the open.
After Rendra's departure, Iskandar whispered to his mother. “Papa jealous with Papa Fais?” Cut nodded slowly while smiling.
“Your father couldn't have traded his beautiful wife for this disabled Mama, could he?” joking Cut but unfortunately did not get a response from the son.
“You're talking about me?” look at the new Rendra coming. It turned out that the man took his cell phone to contact Faisal. Mother and son only gave meaningful gazes to the father.
“Assalamualaikum,”
Cut, Rendra and Iskandar stared at the entrance. Teuku was standing there staring at them. This time he came alone without Anggia.
“Come in!” said Rendra to let Teuku in.
“What is my arrival bothering you?”
True as Rendra expected if Faisal and Ayu did not educate Rendra in the correct order of manners. Whether what kind of world he lived all this time so as to kiss Cut's hand alone, Teuku was still hesitant.
The atmosphere that had been boisterous was suddenly silent and awkward. “Is, have Bibik make you drink!” Tell Rendra while Cut is silent to see the son of his dead brother. His eyes dew every time he saw that face.
“You are medical school in univeristas where?” ask Rendra. Somehow he was also reluctant to mince words with the young man.
“We went to school in Autrali. Papa and Mama took education again after returning and after I grew up, they sent me back there majoring in medicine until specialist.” Cut smiled bitterly.
Rendra nodded her head. Now he knows why this kid's manners are so messy. “Ehm, Aunt.” Teuku calls Cut in doubt.
The two look at each other, “Sorry if my attitude hurts Auntie. I was surprised by all this. I know Aunt is disappointed but I ask Auntie to understand. All this time I only knew them without hearing any other stories about my real family. I hope Aunt forgives my attitude yesterday.”
“You are right, I should understand that you must have a hard time accepting this reality but all of this is real. Thank you for coming here to see me. Take it easy, I will not force you to accept me.”
Glegs…
“Ma, Teuku is not entirely at fault in this. He's like this because Faisal didn't tell Teuku the truth. You hear yes, I am disappointed with you but I am more disappointed in the man you called Faisal. He didn't tell me your origin but us? We told him all about Faisal to Iskandar. Had it not happened that day, you would never have known your real family. If you say I blame Faisal, go ahead! I do blame him 100% with your ignorance of your biological family.” Rendra was firm in front of Teuku. While Iskandar stood behind the wall stealing hear with Bibik.
“Den, Father if angry spooky yes?” bibik followed the comments behind the wall.
“Means don't make Papa angry.”
“But Great father.” Praise the Bibik again makes Iskandar look confused.
“Father can thus receive Den Iskandar like his own child without distinguishing. Only Madam who distinguishes Aden with Den Anugrah.”
“Husstt, don't reveal the deceased's fault. Not good, Bik.”
“Sorry, Den.”
Back to the living room, “You're getting married? When?” the question surprised Teuku. She was determined to apologize without discussing her marriage. But now Cut is asking that.
“I think maybe after Iskandar's wedding. I am also not ready in the near future especially with all these events. There are a lot of things that I have to do first like going back to Aceh. I want to know more about my family.”
“Wait a minute!” Rendra interrupted immediately and then he rose to his room. Not long after, Rendra came back down with a thick book in his hand. The curious Iskandar directly walked towards the living room.
“What is it, Pa?” cut asked because this was the first time he had seen the book.
“Did Mama never see this book?” asked Rendra surprised.
“Never. What is the book about?”
“Treasure book yes, Pa?” sela Iskandar suddenly joined in.
“This is a photo album when you were a baby. Back then, my team found you in the cave with this Tantemu.” Rendra sat down beside Teuku and handed the book which turned out to be a photo album into Teuku's hands. The curious Cut involuntarily moved from his seat and sat down next to Teuku's right. Iskandar who comes later must be willing to stand behind to see a photo album that he himself has never seen.
“This time in ruma sick first?” tanya Cut was surprised. The photos that Rendra had sent him had been planted in his house and may now be out of shape. When they were engrossed in seeing the past photos, Rendra called Bibik with his hand and coded Bibik to take pictures of the four of them.
The camera without sound managed to take their photo. Rendra smiled looking at the photos on her phone. Then suddenly he was surprised to see another apparition behind him. He refused and the son who was none other than Anugrah was smiling sweet toothpaste at him.
Teuku's eyes suddenly dewy and unexpectedly he immediately knelt in front of Cut while clasping Cut's hand and kissing him. He sobbed in Cut's lap making Rendra also shed tears.
“Sorry to me, Auntie! I've been disobeying Auntie. I'm a kid who doesn't know to return the favor. Sorry me!”
