CUTS
Search Traces...

Today, Cut's extended family will return to Sagoe Village for the second time. Mr. Cek Amir also joined to see his homeland as well as give the inheritance to his long-lost grandson, Teuku. Ayu, who knows the plan, asks her husband to join her. He also wanted to see the village of Teuku. Faisal agreed with his wife and by driving one of Bang Adi's cars, he went to follow Iskandar's car.

“The place is nice and cool huh, Pa?” Ayu is very enthusiastic.

“Very suitable for healing from fatigue and stress due to work.” Ayu said back. Along the way, he continued to pay close attention to every corner that displays the green of the mountain valley Seulawah.

After traveling for almost three hours, they arrived at the village. Cut smiled happily when he saw his brother's grave neatly maintained because after his return a few years ago. He has asked his village neighbors to take care of the grave of the late Bang Ilham and every six months Cut will send some money to the person.

After giving their greetings, they stood in a circle staring at the three tombstones. “Finally you can visit the graves of your parents and brother.” I don't know what Teuku was feeling at that moment.His heart and mind suddenly stopped. He sat down while staring at the names on the tombstones one by one. Her tears suddenly came out, her empty and hollow heart now seemed to fill up by itself. Teuku could not explain what was happening to him at this moment.

“What is this answer from my empty heart all this time? Are they always waiting for me to come here? O Allah, forgive this disobedient servant. Papa, Mama, Brother, I'm sorry that only now have I visited you. Why do I want to meet you so badly? Why do I suddenly miss you so much? O Allah, meet me with my parents and sister even if only in a dream.” Teuku's tears are unstoppable. He sobbed in his own inner upheaval. Rendra hugged him tightly.

“Om, I really want to meet them.”

Rendra could only gently pat Teuku on the back. He also can't do much. “Give them always your best prayers. The prayer of the godly child will always be plagues by Allah.” Cut advised his nephew. Iskandar again led the prayer and then after that, Cut asked her husband to visit the tomb of his best friend. Rendra agrees, they get back in the car and they arrive at Miftah's house. It is seen how the house is managed even if simple.

“Assalamualaikum,” say they simultaneously.

“Walaikumsalam. Uh, Brother Cut huh?”

“Iya. I come want to pilgrimage to the grave of Miftah.” Cut said while handing over one plastic containing sugar, syrup and pastries that he brought specifically for the residents of the miftah house.

“Iya, please!”

Next to Miftah's grave, there is the grave of his mother who died a few years ago and was buried right next to the grave of the child according to his request.

“This is Aunt's friend. He was killed by the rebels back then for being in love with member Om Rendra.” Cut explained to Teuku.

“And after the incident that late Miftah experienced, there are no more girls in this village who dare to be close to the army including Tantemu.” Rendra. Iskandar again recited prayers during the tomb then after that, Cut say goodbye to the residents of the house and after that, Mr. Amir took them to the rice fields.

“This is your grandfather's paddy field and we've split it. At that time, Tantemu asked that the rice field be rented only to the villagers who want and the results were told to contribute on behalf of your parents. Because now that you have come home, Grandfather will leave this inheritance to your hands because this is your right and also a patch of land in Banda City is also your right.” Said Mr. Cheque Amir to Teuku.

“Em, Cake. Let it be. I also agree with Aunt Cut's proposal. Let the proceeds from this land be charity for Grandpa, Grandma and my family.” Teuku made everyone smile.

“In addition to rice fields, if we walk you will meet with one hectare of fields that are now being planted with cloves. The fields are also rented to the villagers here and the money is always given to Grandpa.”

“Wah, Big brother also yes?” whispered Aisyah to the sister who is now her cousin-in-law.

“Iya, commute.”

“It looks like you are more suitable to be a landlord than a doctor.” They chuckled at Faisal's words.

Finished showing the heritage for Teuku Rendra Muhammad Nur, they immediately returned to Banda City because tomorrow there will be an event commemorating historic events in the lives of the people of Aceh, namely the earthquake and tsunami.

As in previous years, in some places held zikr and tablik akbar to remember the great calamity as a form of introspection for every society that is still given life to this day.

From morning, the Cut family was preparing to go to the mass grave where it was believed the bodies of Abu and Ummi were buried. Faisal and his wife also went with them. There was still one thing that stuck in Faisal's heart until this moment that he had never said to be ready including his wife.

Once they get there it turns out that there are many residents who have occupied the mass grave area, they give greetings and then hold a sheet of mat that has been brought from home. Iskandar again led prayers for his grandparents.

“Abu, Ummi, please forgive Faisal's mistake for hurting Cut, Abu and Ummi. I'm sorry that Faisal's only here to apologize. It was Faisal's fault for Abu, Ummi and Cut that left Faisal childless until now. Faisal had already wasted Fais's previous son and wife and Shinta's son who had not received justice because of Faisal's selfishness. Faisal's fault was very great on Abu and Ummi. Faisal had to return it as well as when Faisal had first brought him out of Abu and Ummi's house. Faisal did not return it with Faisal's own hands. Know that Abu, Umi, Cut is too precious for this despicable Faisal. Now, Abu and Ummi's daughter is happy with the best man. Again, Please Forgive Faisal, Abu and Ummi.” Ayu rubbed her husband's back. She knew that her husband was holding back the tears behind her sunglasses.

“Grandpa, Grandma, today Is brought wife. Is wanted to introduce him to Abu and Ummi. Pray for our wedding, Grandpa, Grandma.” Iskandar.

“Pa, Is the same Aisyah wants to go to the place where Papa and Mama found Aisyah. Will Papa and Mama take us?” pinta Iskandar on Faisal and Ayu while out of the mass grave area.

“You want to get there?” Aisyah nodded weakly.

“Then we all come too.” says Teuku.

Two cars returned to the road to Aceh Jaya. Again they were amazed by the beauty of the sea seen from the road that crosses the mountain. Once they got there, the barracks that used to be used to accommodate refugees were no longer there. The only place they could visit was the government center that recorded all the missing people. But once they get there, the hope of finding the Aisyah family comes closer to impossible. What else these have been for years and it feels very unlikely to find them.

Ayu left a photo there but one of the employees suggested that Ayu could put the photo in the Acehnese daily newspaper. That way the possibility of finding the Aisyah family gets bigger. Aisyah almost lost her spirit especially when she heard the words of the government employee.

“Sorry but looking for family during the tsunami was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Try asking anyone who has ever gone through that time. Even children themselves can hesitate to admit when we see how many babies are separated from their families and until now it is impossible no one knows who his family is.” Say it before they get out of there.

“Propay yes!” Iskandar tried to strengthen his wife.

Faisal and Ayu finally visited the publisher of the newspaper there. Armed with a photo of Aisyah's baby, employees there agreed to help publish the photo. Aisyah was a little optimistic after hearing the words of encouragement from the employees in the office. They returned after noon after visiting many places.

“Patience and keep praying ya!” iskandar said softly to his wife. They were laying their bodies on the bed. It had been two days that they had traveled from one place to another.

“Mas, I will try sincerely if they turned out to have been called the powers.”

“That's best, Darling.”

“Mas, you did not contact Dita. How's the girl doing?”

“Ai, how about someone say if he's your parents. Will you believe it right away?”

“Mama already said everything in anticipation of that, Mas. There's the easiest way to know if the person is really my parents or not.”

“Good. I believe in you.”

“Ai, want to vacation to Sabang island?”

“Sabang Island?” ask Aisyah back.

“Iya. The beautiful island is not inferior to Bali only this is still natural unlike Bali.” Iskandar showed his search results on the internet about Sabang Island on his mobile phone. Aisyah smiles happily, “Beautiful yes, Mas.”

“How, you want to go there?”

“Away?”

“No, only about one hour boat ride ferry.”

“We invite others too, Mas.”

“Good. Later Mas tell everyone including Papa Faisal and Mama Ayu.”

While they were planning their next vacation, the younger brother had to be treated after his injuries were noticed by Doctor Merlyn.

“Doctor, this is just a small wound.”

“I know but this should be treated.” At this time, Anugrah could not protest anymore because his clothes were open and his body was wrapped with bandages on his waist and shoulders. His arm was also injured directly on the head.

“We are not playing an action movie until the wound you say is small does not need to be treated. Do you know if this wound is not treated properly there will be an infection. You're not Tom Cruise!”

“Already, A. Just accept your fate!”
