CUTS

CUTS
Referendums....


The atmosphere at which the course returned was stable after Razi's recognition of Cut's fiancee. Likewise with Winda who feels guilty for accusing Cut as her boyfriend's usurper. Feri himself still teaches Cut, but now he is more professional.


 


Razi escorts Cut only once a week due to his busy college schedule. For a month they have been doing pretend lover scenes and there are no obstacles. Once one afternoon, they were caught by Feri and Winda who were enjoying time in the city park. Coincidentally Razi and Cut were also on their way together past them.


 


This further adds to the confidence of Winda and Feri if they are indeed engaged. Plus the scene of Razi suddenly holding Cut's hand. A few steps behind them were Intan and Faris who were shocked. But the shock of both vanished when Intan was called by Feri.


 


“We were shocked when we saw Brother pull Kak Cut's hand. Actually if our kayak cousin can not marry?” tanya Intan while they were resting after the afternoon exercise.


 


“Don't know either, Brother. Because if it is legally Islamic. Brother is the guardian of Kak Cut if for example Mr. Wa is dead. Even if it may be but it feels strange to marry a cousin himself.” replied Razi.


 


“Iya also sih.” replied Intan back.


 


The atmosphere that had been relaxed suddenly changed with the presence of trucks filled with heavily armed soldiers. “Leave the city park as soon as possible!” exclaim one of them by using a loudspeaker.


 


That afternoon, the city park that is usually used for sports or relaxing in the afternoon turned gripping after being filled by hundreds of heavily armed soldiers. In a blink of an eye things changed and made the citizens panic. Visitors leave the city park with terrified faces.


 


This was also done by Cut. The incident reminded him of his bad memories. All shops that are open are closed. Soldiers were scattering to different corners of the city. Sangar's face with a full weapon further added to the fear in the afternoon.


 


After dropping Cut off, the three cousins went straight back to their home. “You guys be careful on the road ya!” Abu reminded the three before leaving the shop.


 


“What happened, Abu? Why are so many soldiers on guard?” ask Cut.


 


“You didn't hear? There's a movement of people from different counties heading here to demand a referendum. In front of the city park there is the official house of Pangdam, RRI, police service house, Mayor's office and other government buildings. Starting tonight many people from the village left here. You do not go to the course first, Mr. Cek also said the same Abu to prohibit you from leaving the house. Your cousin is also forbidden to come out. We don't know how it is.”


 


“So Abu will close the store?” ask Umi.


 


“We'll see the condition first, Mi. Amir said that too. You too, Mae. Don't follow the march. If you do not hear, Abu return you to the village.”


 


“Iya, Ash. Tomorrow Mae in the store just play the same Dek Rendra.”


 


For a moment Abu looked at Rendra who was playing a toy car with a sad face. The look on his face was longing for the son who had long gone.


 


“Tonight after the magrib we tahlil together for Ilham, his wife and brother Rendra, yes!”


 


“Iya, Abu.” replied Umi with a sad face.


 


The sound of guns occasionally rang out but no one knew where the sound came from or what events were going on out there. The only source of information for those who do not have a television at home is the newspaper. Daily Serambi Indonesia has always been a source of information for people who want to know about the current condition of Aceh.


 


Both sides always provide information to the editor if there is a contact of arms or related to negotiations to obtain the word peace. Referendum turmoil emerged when Aceh's desire for independence did not go until the referendum began.


 


The Baiturrahman Grand Mosque is a silent witness as well as a place where an action attended by thousands of people from various regions spilled over in voicing the referendum. Prayers, remembrance and oration come to color the action.


 


Kotq Banda is quiet, every eye is centered on the Grand Mosque. Not only domestically, abroad also highlighted the action.


 


Far away on the island of Java, some young people are also watching the news on television screens. The young men who were still in striped clothes paid close attention while occasionally commenting.


 


 


“Most of them are young people who still like to join the action so for sheer excitement.” The other law.


 


“I'm sure there are rebel members. This is a great opportunity for them to hide.” between the others.


 


Of the few youths only one still remained silent with a raging mind.he was Rendra. The man was still thinking about Cut even though his days before returning to the headquarters were always accompanied by Risma.


 


It was only a week that Rendra returned to the headquarters for training after his holiday was over. His days with Risma are still fresh in his memory but it seems like Risma's figure has not been able to penetrate the wall he built for Cut.


 


They enjoy their time as friends. Risma herself does not try to break the wall of Rendra's heart.he is quite understanding with the state of Rendra so that the days they live for a week are very free without awkwardness or coercion. Everything went very naturally without any other intention.


 


“Mas, you don't have to follow Aunt Yetti's request. I can enjoy my own vacation. Do not force yourself, it is not good for liver health. Your heart must be healthy until one day you meet Cut.” said Risma while they were enjoying the beautiful scenery in the flower garden.


 


Sometimes Risma takes pictures if you find an interesting angle. “I don't feel compelled. You just calm down. I just want to get out and you happen to want to go for a walk too. My friends are married so there's no way I'm taking them right?” rendra replied with a slight smile on her lips.


 


“This action of yours actually gives hope to Om and Aunt to match us. Aren't you worried?” asked Risma while directing the camera shot towards Rendra.


 


Czechoslovak...


 


“Sorry yes, Mas. I took a photo suddenly. They stand in a good position for photos. Dear if not in portrait.”


 


“My face is not free, you know.”


 


“I have to pay how much about?”


 


“A cup of coffee in the afternoon seems to be enough.”


 


“OK. Are we leaving now? I don't usually owe too long.”


 


“Oke.”


 


 


Pukkp....


 


A surprise blow Rendra who was daydreaming. “Don't say you're daydreaming that Acehnese girl again.” said Wahyu.


 


“If yes, why?”


 


“You are funny. A week ago you were with another girl. When you see the news about Aceh you remember the girl again. So the memories of a week with the girl have not been able to erase the memories with the Aceh girl?”
