CUTS
Pick Up Mate...
Two different families with different problems. In Aceh, Cut was wrestling for custody with his former in-laws while on the island of Java, Rendra is struggling with his various thoughts when the main factor is that communication between couples who undergo long-distance relationships is interrupted by one party.
Yes, it's been a few days that Cut doesn't care about messages or calls from Rendra. He focused on the son with fear lingering in his head if Iskandar would be taken by the former in-laws. The trial continues and family conflict is inevitable. His former in-laws were involved in a civil war with Mak Cek Siti and Pak Cek Amir. They were siblings but Mak Cek Siti could not let her biological brother snatch the son from her husband's niece.
“Siti, you shouldn't let this happen. You have destroyed our brotherly relationship. Our parents must have been very disappointed and sad in the grave to see us feuding like this because you prefer that man to take care of our grandchildren, your own grandchildren. The stranger was taken to a faraway place. Do you know, our grandchildren could be beaten or yelled at someday. He was a soldier, of course, his attitude was as hard as when they served here. If something happens to Iskandar, you are responsible, Siti!”
Two families met while attending a hearing this morning. Previously, they had mediated up to three meetings. But until now has not found the meeting point of both sides. All stick to its stance coupled with all the considerations that seem to side with Cut as the biological mother makes the chances of winning greater. However, Cut's former in-laws attached a medical report about Cut's condition to the judge, requiring Dr. Guney as the doctor who handled Cut to be called to the trial.
“Pardon us for already making Doctor dragged into this problem.” Mr. Cek Amir apologized for representing the family. He actually wanted to end this well but his brother-in-law did not want to. They will end this if Iskandar is handed over to them and it is impossible to do.
“As a doctor, you must know very well the condition of the defendant. Is it true if the condition of the defendant as reported by the plaintiff?”
Dr. Guney took a deep breath, “Condition sister Cut is quite good as the result I submitted to Mr. Judge. Once a month, Cut still undergo regular checks until declared fully healed with the results of photos done every six or one year.”
“Is it possible if the defendant's sister holds or takes care of the baby over a year old?” ask the judge back.
“Very likely because the condition experienced by Cut is not a congenital disease. So far the progress has been very good than before. The more days the condition gets better, Mr. Judge."
After hearing Guney's testimony, the court finally decided to read the results of the hearing next week. And after waiting for a week in a state of tension, upset, anxious to completely forget the phone from the prospective husband.
“Do you have the heart to separate us from Iskandar? Someday he'll ask you about us. And what would you say if you prefer another man over his grandparents?” Pure Mother came with her family.
Although the issue of Iskandar's custody battle is rolling over to the green table. They continue to approach personally by coming to Mak Cek Siti's house. They also often invite Iskandar to be brought to play. Cut let them take Iskandar because he had no intention of separating Iskandar from them. Pure Mother looked at him with a dislike look towards Cut.
Cut who was playing with Iskandar only heard in silence all that was said by his former mother-in-law. Mak Cek Siti has left for the office while Faris and Intan have gone to school. Only Cut and Iskandar are at home. His former in-laws had come deliberately when Mak Cek Siti was not at home to make it easier for them to influence Cut.
Cut glanced at the former father-in-law who was playing with Iskandar. They look happy. “See them! Can you separate it?”
Pure Mom hand-grasping Soft Cut, “Please, son. We love you and Iskandar. Ibuk does not know what will happen if Iskandar leaves us. For the rest of our lives, please give Iskandar to us. Julie and Adi love him a lot. Iskandar will not lack anything with us.”
“Nak, please think back. Does your future in-laws not mind if you take your child with you? A mother would want her own granddaughter instead of the child of her previous husband. It is very rare if there are parents who are willing to accept grandchildren from the first husband of his daughter-in-law. Think, Cut. You are a mother. Are you going to let Iskandar feel the indifference of those he calls grandparents? He's gonna ask you, Cut? Why did his grandparents behave like that? Do they not love him? At that time, what will you answer? Would you say they weren't her grandparents? How does it feel?”
Cut the dilemma, everything said by her in-laws made sense and further weighed on her mind. At the same time, Rendra was also agitated at the thought of the fate of her love. His anxiety about Cut was answered after talking to Mak Cek Siti because Cut was reluctant to talk to her. So after having an unusual nightmare, Rendra immediately contacted Mak Cek Siti's landline. From the youth, Rendra got all the info about what was going on there until Cut ignored him.
“Grupp really, Brother. Kayak is facing the commander huh?” god Reni's.
“Regularly.” Rendra Reply.
Both of his parents went down and took positions in front of the son. Mr. Wicaksono tricked the son who looked confident and steady took this path.
“When are we leaving?”
