CUTS
Concatenation...

The series of traditional events continued one by one after the words of the speech delivered by the village head representing the Abu family were completed. Peusijuek event or tawari flour became one of the peak events of the wedding Cut and Faisal. The two sat in the garden and a local elder splashed a little water from several plants tied together while being recited a prayer by the elder. Then, both are fed a yellow sticky rice topped with a tumpoe.

Tumpoe becomes a mandatory friend of yellow sticky rice for sacred events such as weddings. Tumpoe itself comes from a ripe banana and then mashed then stirred with flour until it is salty and then made in various forms of decoration as needed. The tumpoe dough is decorated on banana leaves and then fried until cooked.

After completing the ritual peusijuk, the elder took the envelope in his scabbard and gave it to the bride and groom. The next event is a banquet for the family of the newly arrived lintoe. The main family of the lintoe will be entertained with the bride and groom inside while the others will be entertained under a tent that has been prepared in front of the house.

Cut was directed to wash the husband's hands for the first time. Then the two feed each other food to drink.

“See that! Don't you guys want to too?” one of the relatives in July who had eaten inside the house.

“Mak Wa dare to give a gift what if July married?” challenge Kak Juli.

“Mak Wa love gold bracelet 2 mayam specially for you.” reply Mak Wa full of confidence.

Sister Juli shook her head. “One door shophouse on Teungku Umar road, how?”

“Udah sell all!” reply Mak Wa then chose to speak with other relatives.

Kak Juli then caught a glimpse of the sister who was eating voraciously without caring left right. Faisal was so hungry that he turned a deaf ear to all the talk of his relatives. Meanwhile, Cut only enjoyed a few mouthfuls of rice located in front of him. He was so exhausted by today's event that his appetite took a toll.

"Eat it! Consider us again eating at warung.” said Faisal lightly.

Cut nodded slowly but it was quite soothing for him. He still does not know the character of the man who married him today. But his attitude and words are always able to make Cut smile small.

Faisal's attitude has not changed until today they are married. He said as necessary and his attitude and behavior were still the same. He looks ordinary and enjoys everything he does casually. Even when he said Ijab kabul, his face still looks relaxed and calm.

The series of events has reached the final stage of teumetueb. The entire nuclear family of the bride will sit on a well-arranged bench and the two brides will turn to greet the relatives starting with the parents of the bride.

For the first time, Faisal kissed the hand of the in-law, “Jaga Cut for us, yes! Guide him and gently rebuke him if wrong. Don't hurt his heart! Return him well if you do not receive him again.” Faisal nodded slowly after hearing Abu's message which was so full of meaning. After finishing, Faisal then walked in front of Umi. He did the same thing. “Jaga Cut fine, yes! He's all we got.” Faisal nodded again and hugged his mother-in-law.  

Cut walked after her husband. The tears of the parents fell when their hands were kissed by the princess. The daughter they had raised wholeheartedly, the only daughter who still accompanied their old age, they had to let go.

“Pardon all the mistakes of Cut, Abu.” Cut said as he kissed the hand of his father who was no longer young.

“Abu forgave you long before you asked. Remember all the Abu messages huh, son?” Cut just nodded slowly. His tears began to fall slowly. Abu held the princess in his arms. The last hug because after this all the rights and obligations have passed on to other men.

“Im sorry for all the mistakes Cut, Umi.” pinta Cut when kissing the reverent hand of the mother who has played a lot in her life. The services of both parents mean a lot in Cut's life.

Umi hugged the princess tightly as if reluctant to let her go. Every parent will definitely feel the same when they see the daughter who has been loved wholeheartedly has been owned by other men. Any parent would be hard to let go of.

“Capek yes?” Cut nodded slowly with a fairly small voice.

“I didn't hear your voice. Just talk! We're not a sculpture up here. They also do not hear what we are talking about.” said Faisal with a gaze pointed to various directions.

“Cut, congratulations! Sorry we just came.”

The sound made Cut surprised and happy. Dr. Widia came with some colleagues at the mental hospital. Cut still remembers them so well that their arrival brings happiness to Cut. they shake hands and hug Cut alternately.

“Cut thought, Doctor same brother will not come.” said Cut still clasped the hand of doctor Widia.

“We must have come to see you happy. Congratulations yes! You finally found the happiness you always dreamed of. May this marriage last until the end of life like Abu and Umi.”, said Dr. Widia was embraced by others.

Several male nurses come in to congratulate Cut and Faisal. The happiness that Cut felt when dealing with them emanated clearly from Cut's face. He smiled as he occasionally laughed loosely when he heard the jokes of the nurses who used to take care of him. All the radiance of happiness did not escape Faisal's attention.

All this time, Faisal had never seen Cut in this part. He was so detached when talking to them as if Faisal's presence was not visible there.

After talking for a few minutes and taking pictures together, Widia's group of doctors then asked for permission because they had to return to work. After releasing their departure, Cut only realized that beside him there was a man.

The cheerful face suddenly returned as before. “Sorry,”

“Why?” faisal asked with a frown while looking at Cut.

Cut agitated, “I was not aware there was a Brother on the side.” said Cut stammered.

“You're happier to meet them than me?”

“Eh.” Cut was startled then looked at Faisal in confusion.

“Your face when talking to them looks very happy even you can laugh off. It's very different if we're together. Why did you change when we were both like this?”

Cut is confused to answer how because he himself does not understand the change in his attitude when meeting the group of Doctor Widia or when with Faisal.

“Why silent?”
