CUTS
Beloved Husband...

“We're not playing house, son. If Rendra's ready to propose to you, he's ready for his family. You just wait and don't think too far. Let Rendra finish it.”

Cut nods weakly, “Then, Iskandar how?”

“Let it be our parents' business. Calm yourself and do not stress.”

Cut tried to calm his heart even though sometimes he still felt worried. The day of Rendra's return finally arrived as well. Mak Cek Siti's family took her for a farewell event in the field not far from their home.

Rendra ran over with a smile as she approached her new family. Mr. Cek Amir welcomed warmly and then reached out as a sign of farewell. Rendra greeted one by one his new family until the last was the hand of the owner of the heart. As the two shake hands, Rendra deliberately turns Cut's hand over until their engagement ring is seen. Rendra accidentally put their engagement ring on the right hand because he thinks the right hand is a symbol of blessing.

Rendra smiled suringah when he looked at the ring and then took turns staring at the woman's black bead, “This body until I came. And pray that my struggle this time will pay off as we expect.”

Cut a small nod, “Be careful!”

Rendra frowned, “Only that?”

“Don't forget to pray!” cut said back.

“Then?” ask Rendra back.

“I don't know what else to say,” great-grandson Cut.

“I love you!”

Cut gasp, “Wait for me yes!” pinta Rendra returns who is possessed by Cut.

They talked long enough. Rendra himself prefers to play with Iskandar rather than with Cut. Rendra realizes that he must be a little patient to get all of Cut's heart and mind. He does not want to force Cut to reveal his feelings at this time.Let time make Cut realize his feelings.

A month later…

“Assalamualaikum,”

“Walaikumsalam,”

“Buk, there is a package on behalf of Cut Zulaikha.”

“Package? From whom, Sir?” cut asked the postman who was already holding a medium-sized box in his hand.

“Here is written the name of Rendra Wicaksono, Buk.”

The postman delivers the package and asks Cut to sign it. Cut took the package and opened it in front of Mak Cek Siti. The contents of the box are various, ranging from HP, books and novels and there are clothes for Iskandar.

“Wah, it turns out he only remembers the same Iskandar than you,” ledek Mak Cek Siti.

Cut opened the HP and it turns out there are already cards in it. He remembered that this HP was the same as he had before the tsunami. Although still rare, but he had in-laws and a husband who was able enough to buy him a HP at that time. Cut opens contacts and only one name is in it, ‘Suami Cinta’

Cut opened the mailbox and saw that there were several messages that had entered the phone.

“Call me if the goods have arrived. If you are shy, just send a message!”

Cut directly reply, “The material has arrived, thank you.”

Dreets…..

Name ‘Suami Cinta’ instantly appears on the screen and slightly makes Cut surprised.

“Hallo, Assalamualaikum.” Saya Cut slowly.

“Walaikumsalam, Darling. How are you doing? We haven't spoken and sent a letter in a month. Ah, I miss you so much, Cut Zulaikha. Sorry yes, because you can only send now because after getting there, I immediately take care of our submission and maybe soon the letters will come there. After that all the rice, my family and I will come to Aceh to propose to you. Wait a minute!”

Cut sighed when he heard Rendra's long speech. The man made her shake her head.

“I heard well, Bang.”

“Then why are you silent?”

“I'm hearing Brother talk.”

“Oh yes, so happy. I went overboard like this. Sorry yes?”

The second conversation took place unconsciously the sound of the bib from the system deciding directly the phone line made Cut smile small. “You talk until you don't realize your pulse is up.”

The time goes by without feeling all the requirements for marriage submission are approved by the office and have been sent to Aceh. Tonight, Rendra was steady with his t-shirt and jeans he drove a car to the home of parents who he had not visited for a long time. In fact, after his duties from Aceh were completed, he had never been there to meet his parents even though they always told him to go home. But, tonight he has to go to sena. Her determination was already strong even if both her parents would challenge her wedding plans. He won't care and will still marry Cut.

“Still remember the way home, Brother?”

Reni said as she opened the door for her brother. “Rindu ya?”

“Gerrr..”.

Rendra followed his sister who had already walked first. Her parents and twin sisters had gathered together for dinner. Before there, Rendra had already asked about the whereabouts of his parents to Reni. During this time, Reni had always been a spy for her brother. Of course it's not free.

Yetti's mother warmly welcomes the son while the father looks ordinary even though Rendra knows that his father cares for him in a different way. Rendra hugs her father at a glance, “How are you, Pa?”

“As you see today,” replied the papa.

Rendra patted her younger brother on the shoulder at a glance then pulled the chair beside Riko.

“Why didn't you say you wanted to go home? Know so, Mama will masakin your favorite food.”

“This is enough, Ma. After eating, ask Papa time with Mama for a moment? Something to say.”

“What is it?” ask Mom Yetti enthusiastically.

“After meals, Ma.” Sela Reni who is careless with her mother's curious attitude.

The Wicaksono family dinner was quiet. Everyone enjoys eating with their own thoughts. No da who spoke only the sound of a spoon continued to be heard.

“How are the post-earthquake and tsunami conditions there?” Mr. Wicaksono opened the conversation after finishing dinner.

Reni and Riko had already been expelled by their mother because they were considered small and did not deserve to hear adult talk. Not Reni's name if it doesn't derive the curious nature of her mother. Secretly, she eavesdropped on their conversation and her twin brother also helped steal the hearing beside Reni.

“I'm here to ask Papa and Mama to propose a woman”

“What? You want to get married? Same who? Which child?”

“Ma, relax!” sela the papa.

“What is safe traveling to Aceh at this time?”

Degs…

The question from the papa made Rendra and her mother surprised and confused. “How can his papa know?” inner Rendra.

“What Papa means?” ask Mother Yetti to her husband.

“What is Papa's guess right?”

“Fright, Pa. Very precise.”
