CUTS
Between Husband and Doctor...

The day that awaited came also, after the night saying goodbye to the in-laws now Cut and Faisal say goodbye to the whole family. Juli's brother was in charge of taking them to the terminal.

“Jaga son of a good man, Fais. Remember, the real man is seen from his responsibilities.” Kak Juli reminded her sister and then greeted Cut at a glance.

“Jaga Fais well. He's your husband means yours. Don't let another woman get close to him. You have to dare to defend yours if you are weak then yours can be taken by people. Remember that well!”

Cut looked into his sister-in-law's eyes with mixed feelings. She did not expect that the brother who often mocked her husband actually gave a very deep message for her.

“We went yes!” faisal said then invited Cut to board the bus that was about to leave.

Cut sat by the window. Their journey is quite long not to mention if there is gun contact on the road. Along the way, Cut kept ringing with the words of his sister-in-law. So far, he has not seen any changes from the husband other than those who often make love if they like in the room.

Although their marriage is only a week but romance both hardly know the time. After dawn, ahead of the zuhr until before the magrib they also did. Don't ask if the night because it's limitless. Their limit was only when the two had completely run out of steam.

Umi as the experienced mother helped the princess to make boiled water spices to keep the princess' stamina strong in serving her husband. In fact, before they left for their honeymoon, the two had also made love twice under the pretext, “Stok on the bus.”

“Just sleep! You must be tired and sleepy.” said Faisal.

“Iya,”

After hearing the wife's answer, Faisal chose to sleep because his body was also tired. Making love is intoxicating but tired is also real and inevitable.

Both of them slept together with the other passengers. The journey from Banda Aceh to Medan takes approximately 13 hours plus meal time and gas content. Because conflict areas so the time spent could be more than normal time. The proof is only three hours away, all passengers are shocked by the sound of a firearm eruption from the plantation area. The soldiers greened the national road, stopped all vehicles and checked all passengers.

Cut was frightened when he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was the soldiers in striped clothes and their faces were also painted. “All passengers get off and don't try to escape.”

Cut agitated, his body shaking, sweat popping up all of a sudden. Faisal, knowing how his wife's past tried to calm down by holding his wife's hand and leading her down.

“Ayo, we go down first.” invite Faisal gently.

Some members of the army were seen in pain, a truck overturned on the side of the road with some soldiers being rescued by others. Several other trucks were still standing but the troops inside were on a chase against the rebels who attacked their convoy with bazookas.

“Drink first.” Faisal handed his wife a bottle of water. “You! Line here!” a soldier shouted at Faisal.

“Shortly, Sir. My wife is sick.”

“Our partner is worse than your wife. This is all you guys.”

Bugh...

The soldier punched Faisal in the stomach until he fell.

Awwwwws.....

Cut shouted loudly along with his tears that came out so heavily. In his fear he screamed so much that the atmosphere was getting hotter.

Dor...

The sound of gunfire was heard again. A soldier furiously fired a weapon upwards as Cut shouted. “Pak, please! My wife is sick. He's been to a mental hospital. Please let me handle it. I am doctor.” pinta Faisal while enduring the pain in his stomach.

“Iya, Sir.”

“There's a doctor here!” the soldier shouted at his friend.

Without a word, the soldier immediately brought Faisal to his colleagues who had been drenched in blood in large numbers. army doctors who were there lacked the manpower to deal with the large number of wounded soldiers as their trucks were attacked by bazookas. Ambulance assistance has also not arrived while they need treatment.

“Pak, please my wife.” Faisal still remembered the same Cut who had been sitting on the side of the road accompanied by other female passengers.

“You help our colleagues first!”

Without being able to resist, even though his mind was fixed on Cut but Faisal still had to carry out his duties humanity. Because his vow as a doctor is to help every human being without seeing the tribe or religion and profession. The oath also makes doctors who are in war zones to be protected.

One by one the ambulances came and the worst were taken first. A woman remakes Cut to Faisal.

“Please!” shouted the women who were beside Cut.

Cut fainted unconscious. Seeing the women screaming made Faisal surprised. He immediately ran towards the wife who was lying in the lap of a woman. Faisal lifted his wife under the shady trees. Faisal checked his blood pressure to his wife's pulse.

“Cut...”.

“Cut...”.

“Sayang...build!”

After waiting for five minutes, Cut regained consciousness. He hugged Faisal tightly. “Already, everything is fine. Now you drink first.” Faisal handed the bottle into Cut's hand.

 The examination was over, the wounded soldiers had already been taken away by ambulances. A soldier approached Faisal as he was about to board the bus again.

“Doctor, thank you and sorry for treating me earlier.”

“It's been my duty, sir. I'm sorry.” Honestly, Faisal did not accept the blow he received but what could be done. There is nothing civilians can do about the treatment of soldiers in conflict zones like Aceh. Where, justice and the law do not proceed according to procedure.

By saying bismillah and prayers, Mr. Driver returned to run the bus. No more fun on the bus. All the passengers were still shocked by what had just happened to them.

Along the way, Cut continued to hug Faisal in silence. All Faisal could do was wipe Cut's back in the hope that his wife could calm down.

The journey with normal time should be around 13 hours now increased with the incident of gun contact until the time they spent reached 15 hours to get to Medan.

Faisal immediately contacted Wira to pick her up at the bus terminal. And once they arrived, Wira was already there with Hendri.

“Telat an hour.” said Wira while looking at the clock on her wrist.

"There was an incident on the street. Let's go first I'll tell you.”

“How are you, Cut?” the Wira asked pleasantries while extending her hand however, the Wira had to swallow disappointment when Cut did not welcome her helping hand and instead kept quiet without a word. Faisal motioned his eyes to his two best friends and they chose to take a car ride away from the terminal.
