CUTS
Adek Follow Papa...

3 Years later…

A bright day for couples who are preparing to attend the graduation of the first son. This time felt different and new to them because during Iskandar's mondok. It was only this time that he returned home for a while before finally leaving for Yemen as previously planned.

“So, you only have a month here. Enjoy it so much! Is there a place you want to visit?” ask Rendra on the way.

“Meet complex friends aja.” Iskandar Sahut.

“Yakin? Don't want to take a walk where that is? Mumpung Anugrah is also a holiday.”

“No.”

“You want to see our family in Aceh?” ask Cut

“No need. They also do not want to see Is.”

“Is-“ Rendra held the wife's arm and shook her head slowly.

Iskandar wants to continue his education in Yemen. He refused to go back home. During his stay at the cottage, his grandmother and grandfather from Aceh also had to call several times to ask the news. As long as he grew up, never once did they visit him for various reasons. This further eliminates the sense of caring for Iskandar for them. Especially if he remembered every word that came out from his grandmother and grandfather Anugrah.he would never be able to accept them.

After doing several photo sessions with family, the ustad and the caretaker of the cottage to his fellow troops. They simultaneously separated. This time, there were no cries like before as they were about to meet again on their departure to Yemen. Rendra occasionally glanced at his two sons in a silent position. Iskandar chose to read the book while Anugrah who was in the 6th grade of Elementary School chose to read comics. Cut often opened the subject but his two sons answered a word.

“Adek, finished SD go to bed at the place of Brother too huh?” ask Cut.

“Gak, Adek do not want. Grandma said Adek had to enter Junior High School where Papa used to continue to enter SMK was out of the army like Papa and Grandpa.”

“Adek wants to be a soldier?” ask Cut back. In the past, Anugrah did often say that he would become a soldier like his father. At that time, Cut had not responded seriously but after he had grown up. Cut was frightened and anxious by his son's ideals.

Cut glanced at the husband who was focusing on driving. He could not have said all his grief about the ideals of the son today let alone Iskandar in it.

Cut could only sigh. Iskandar returned to act when he returned to them but he could talk at length if with his friends. Iskandar's disappointment for him? Anugrah did not dare to look at her brother because she did not remember at all the sweet memories with her brother. Coupled with Iskandar's flat face and cold and irritable talk increasingly makes Anugrah frightened. She's better off reading a book than looking at her brother's creepy face.

“Mah, later tonight we eat outside huh? At once celebrate the graduation of Brother.” Said Rendra when the car has entered the complex area.”

“Iya, Pa. We have not eaten together in a complete formation in addition to the cottage?”

The car stopped and everyone got off. Iskandar immediately sent down his goods, especially the books that had always accompanied him. Only the clothes and books that Iskandar brought, while the cupboards and mattresses belonged to the cottage. Rendra smiled at the son and helped bring down his belongings.

“Papa misses when you're a baby. Like just yesterday Papa carried you.”

Iskandar did not answer, only his little heart spoke. “Papa missed me as a baby after another baby was born, Papa dumped me.”

“Ma, no need. Iskandar can be alone.” forbid Iskandar to his mother.

After the magrib they and their family returned to go to a restaurant to enjoy dinner with the aim of celebrating the graduation of the brother. Cut and Rendra talk to each other but their two sons are again involved in a cold war. Cut and Rendra are still trying to build talks but their efforts remain unsuccessful.

“Kak, what is the plan after it is finished in Yemen?” tanya Cut seraua waiting for their order.

“God willingly proceed to Egypt, Ma.” Answer Iskandar stared at the soft and shady mother's bead.

Deep down, he longed for the warm embrace of his mother but conditions had educated him to be an independent teenager and not easy to cry. He had already experienced how hard it was to live away from family. His departure to Yemen was a challenge he made himself to find out how capable he was to survive overseas. In addition, he was also still reluctant to meet people who had made the corner of his heart turn black.

As of this moment, he did not know if after the dinner. His father would take them to his grandparents' house. Once they were there and again Iskandar had to refrain from accepting any picky attitude of his grandmother. As soon as he arrived, his grandmother and grandfather were a little surprised but still tried to smile.

“Iskandar is leaving for Yemen, Ma. So he came home about a month to two months to wait for the departure schedule.” Rendra told both of her parents.

Mother Yetti sighed for a moment while looking at the granddaughter. “Try a lot of scholarships for sure Mama will also send you abroad, Ren.”

Degs….

“How many years to live in Yemen? The cost of living is not cheap? What all borne scholarship” asked Mother Yetti back.

“Alhamdulillah, Grandma and Grandpa in Aceh are rich. So those who finance all the needs of Iskandar.” Replied Iskandar who got a dislike look from the two parents.

Cut took his breath back. Bringing Iskandar here seems not the right thing. The proof, Iskandar jutsru reply to the words of the grandmother quickly without burden.

“Nak,” Litih Cut.

“This is how you talk to us? Is this what I was taught in the cottage? Waste of money then. You are still like a delinquent.” said Ms. Yetti.

“Ma,” Rendra calls the mother to stop saying cynical to the child.

The atmosphere that should have been calm instead triggered a conflict between Iskandar and his grandmother. The look on Mr. Wicaksono's face changed after hearing the grandson so boldly refute his wife's words.

“Ma, Iskandar wait outside.” Say Is ketus and then get out of the house.

“See! At that age, he dared to oppose us. What if he gets bigger later? Are you sure you took it off to Yemen? He could have gone and joined a forbidden organization.”

“Ma, don't be. He still needs to adjust.” Sela Rendra's.

“Mama has never seen a child like him. You used to be naughty too but you are not that rough. Fortunately Anugrah is fine not to follow her brother. It's also good that he's gone far away from you. At least he won't poison Anugrah with his bad attitude.”

“Maaaa”
