The happiness that Cut felt did not last long. The family of her ex-husband returned to Mak Cek Siti's house after the magrib. The engagement itself is finished after Zuhur.
“Bang, brother, can you wait until tomorrow? Iskandar is not taken anywhere, take it easy!” suluh Mak Kek Siti's.
“We just want certainty from Cut, Siti. We will not bother anymore but the feeling of affection and longing makes us unable to take Iskandar home to our home.” said Pure Mother.
“So you will separate mother and child? Iskandar is still a baby, he still needs his mother.”
“But he is also our grandson, Siti. Our descendants are the legitimate world of the afterlife.”
“I know, Bang. But let him be with his mother. Cut also doesn't forbid you to meet, right? You guys are even free to take him playing out. Has Cut banned you all this time?”
“That's because Cut still lives here. After her marriage, she would definitely follow her husband and Iskandar would also be taken. So we asked Iskandar to stay with us. Not to mention later if Cut has a child back from her husband. Are you sure that her husband will be fair to Iskandar? He certainly loved his children more than Iskandar.” Pure Mother's Cow.
“All that hasn't happened and Kak Ni has already thought that way. That's not fair to Rendra either. He deserves our trust, brother. We see first, if it is like that, we can bring back Iskandar here.”
Mr. Cek Amir and his brother-in-law did not say much. They only heard what came out of the wives' mouths. While Bang Adi and Kak Julie were on the top floor of the house with Cut.
“Do you still have feelings for Fais?” ask Brother Julie.
“Come, Brother. Cut was just afraid to think things through at this time. Cut isn't actually ready and still scared but-“
“But what?” ask Bang Adi.
“Cut never received it even though after that we had to separate again. He again charges the first answer that has not been spoken.”
“How do you care?” ask Julie to come back.
Cut shook his head, “D double-crossed it hurts. Every moment always imagined all that Cut did and all the sweet attitude that turned out to be full of lies. It hurts so much, Brother.”
Cut held onto his chest, there was a tightness every time the event appeared. Bang Adi gave an eye code to Kak Julie so as not to discuss the problem again.
“Inspuse us! We should have stopped this marriage from the beginning. We had thought that after marrying you, she would change and cut off her relationship with that woman. Turns out, they're playing behind you.”
“But-“
Sister Julie paused her words while looking at Cut. “But, please don't bring Iskandar. Ibuk was devastated to lose Faisal, only Iskandar was able to be his encouragement again. Sorry, not that we are cruel to separate mother and child but Sister also can not see Ibuk back sad. Do you know how I loved Iskandar? From the beginning, that was the main goal. Ibuk asked Faisal to get married. And the boy instead complied with their will without a second thought.” Sad to speak upset, that is what is implied from Kak Julie's speech.
The long debate did not bear fruit until the night got late. They ended the fruitless debate at exactly 10 p.m. It was Cut's father-in-law who forced his wife to go home.
Mak Cek Siti did not want to budge on her sister-in-law. She herself is a mother and would not be able to if faced with conditions like Cut. For a mother, a child is everything. So too with Cut. However, he had to hold back every time he saw Iskandar's face which was very similar to Faisal's.
Rendra's last days in Aceh became a tiring day. Many reports and submission of tasks that he must complete. Until, the day before his return, Rendra managed to steal time to meet the woman filler heart.
“Assalamualaikum,”
“Walaikumsalam,” boisterous sounds simultaneously from inside the house.
“Doctor?”
The owner of the hazel-eyed bead smiled then extended his hand to the newly arrived Rendra. “We also invited Dr. Guney as a thank you for taking care of Cut so far.” said Mak Cek Siti.
Cut helps small things like taking a spoon or putting side dishes in a dish. While Intan has sat sweetly while holding Iskandar. Conscious or not, the hazel-eyed bead occasionally stole a glance at him. And of course the incident was caught by Rendra's eyes. A small smile rises when you realize what is happening right now.
Pukkp…
Dr. Guney was shocked when one hand of Rendra patted her shoulder. “Still underage!”
The eyes of the two met for a split second. “I'm not a pedophile!”
Rendra chuckled making the whole house look at him in wonder. While Dr. Guney was already staring at him sharply.
“You sure Cut won't change his mind?”
A mischievous idea suddenly seeped into Dr. Guney's head. “Doctor need not fear, he was I tied with an invisible rope. Wherever he went, only I was always in his heart.” Rendra tried to be arrogant but her heart went shaky. After all, Cut was in a fragile state and was disappointed at the same time. Rendra is afraid that Cut will change his mind and their marriage will be annulled.
Pukkp…
“Hhahah”
Dr. Guney's laughter echoed. He who never laughs loosely in front of others but this time just forget the image attached to him so far. Of course, Dr. Guney's laughter contained a trick that made Rendra give her a sharp look. As if he did not care, Dr. Guney laughed until his eyes were faced with a pair of eyes that were looking at him with a strange look.
“What's funny, Doctor?”
Instantly, Dr. Guney's laughter immediately stopped and looked at the owner of the eye. “Being hearing a funny story delivered by Rendra.”
“Ohh...what funny story?” Tanya Intan was curious.
“Don't listen! This doctor just took the wrong medication. Therefore he mispronounced.” Sela Rendra with her eyes fixed.
They ate deliciously and then after eating, Rendra immediately asked permission from Mak Cek Siti and Pak Cek Amir.
“Don't go home late at night and Rendra, take it home as it was!”
Rendra nodded then both of them took the car to the place where Rendra had prepared. He wants to make a romantic and privacy-filled farewell together with Cut.
“Ki-we where?” tanya Cut stuttered a little.
Not without cause Cut a little worried, because Rendra is the type of man who is full of surprises so it is difficult to understand.
“I do not want to be helped again by leaving you for the umpteenth time.”
