CUTS
Adit and Beno...

Adit and Beno take Iskandar to his house. While the others drove Deni. They share each task according to the direction of the house. Adit himself did not need to drive Iskandar but he still insisted to come.

“Is, about Mama and Papa you will be angry if you see your sister's bike ringsek like this?”

“…???...”

There is no answer because Iskandar again daydreams about every word that contains a lot of meaning from Adit's mother. He could not have asked any further considering there were many of his friends. Mama Adit's eyes also like giving a code for Iskandar not to ask more.

“Is, you heard we didn't?” beno asked annoyed that Iskandar did not answer his question.

“Sorry, I just thought of something.”

They arrive home and Beno helps save the rattled bike. It is clear because the handlebar is not straight, the wheels are broken and scratched in various places plus the brake rope is broken.

“We go home first yes, Is. Your sister seems not home yet, are you okay we stay?”

“No, I'm fine. You gohome! Magrib.” in a moment

Although heavy but Beno and Adit still have to go home and leave Iskandar alone.

“Still yes!”

After the return of two friends, Iskandar who was about to enter suddenly stopped when the sound of a car stopped in front of the house. Iskandar already knew who was coming home, he decided to enter first.

Just as his feet stepped in the living room, the voice of the grandmother had sounded like lightning striking but in silent mode.

“What do you do on Anugrah's bike? How can he play if your bike is broken like this? It's free that you continue to study far abroad if your heart is still envious for Anugrah. Not to be alim even later you become a rebel like your family in the village.”

“Kakak jatoh? Who is obeying? How can you do it, brother? The bike can be fetulin Papa kok, Nek.”

“See your sister! You should have learned from him who was a child but never envied you.”

Grandma continued to say harshly until Iskandar entered her room. While the sister could not do anything when she saw the attitude of the grandmother to her brother. Because their parents have not yet returned home, Mother Yetti chose to be there to accompany the granddaughter. He also cooked for his grandchildren because it was night.

“What is your Mama always coming home at night?”

Anugrah nodded while taking a bribe after a bribe from the grandmother. “Since when did Mama leave like this?” ask her again to the grandchild.

“Have been a week.”

“Papa give permission?”

“Papa sometimes also join Mama to the orphanage.”

Mother Yetti's face turned grim. He continued to feed the beloved grandson even though the emotions in his chest had exploded.

“Nek, Grandpa, how never did we go together?” ask Anugrah.

“Grandfather often to the plantation with his friend. Grandpa also invited Grandma but Grandma did not want to. There is cold and Grandma is not strong.”

“Om Riko also does not come home, Nek.”

“Om you are busy making money outside the city. The business can not be left so yes rarely go home.”

“Then why is Grandma angry so same Sister?”

Anugrah chuckle, “Grandmother has not replied.”

“Every Grandma must be angry that her grandson is naughty. So is Grandma.”

“Decish as well why is Grandma not angry?”

“Adek ever naughty? When's? How come Grandma doesn't know?”

“When Adek broke Grandma's flower vase. Grandma just said it's okay to buy a new one.”

Yetti's mother could no longer answer the grandchildren's questions. He felt cornered and confused to answer what is currently.

“The Grandson of Grandma is still a child so Grandma forgive. If you are older, you have to take responsibility for what is around you. Already do not talk anymore, spend the rice and wash hands, feet, face as well as brush the teeth out of sleep.”

“Adek call Brother first to eat. Sister definitely hasn't eaten either.”

“Your brother is already big if he is hungry he will eat. no need to be told again.”

Exactly at nine o'clock in the evening, Anugrah was asleep because of fatigue after a walk. Rendra's car stopped in front of her mother's car.

“There's Mama.”

Cut's face sharpened instantly turning mellow. They rushed in and sure enough as they expected if Mother Yetti's face was currently seen holding back an upset.

“Are you guys not sane? Leaving a child and going to take care of someone else's child? The house is taken care of and has been paid so you no longer need to bother to go there and abandon your son at home with his brother who is not that dirty.”

“Ma, bu-“

Rendra wanted to answer but her mother's hand had been raised next door.

“Mama doesn't think like you, Ren. How can you let your wife go home in the morning without food while at home there are children who need to eat and drink. Are you no longer able to take care of him? Let Mama take over then. Your only child is not taking care of him. And you, Cut. Is this what you expect so you don't want to go through the pregnancy program anymore? Because you still want to be free to go anywhere? You better educate your wife well, Rendra. Busy taking care of people's children, children themselves neglected at home. Mom was very disappointed with you! Mama has had bad firsat for a week and it seems answered already what happened.”

Mother Yetti took her bag to leave the residence of the son, “Cut, do not need to send Iskandar far abroad if he still holds the envy of Anugrah. Just look at how he ruined Anugrah's bike!”

Cut was surprised and so was Rendra. They didn't expect the idea that should have gone well had to end this way. The two then went out to see the condition of the bike said by the mother and sure enough the condition was rattled.

Cut rushes to Iskandar's room and turns out to be locked. “Is, Mama knows you haven't slept. Please open the door!”

There was no response from Iskandar. His whole body was sick but not comparable to his heart that was sick from the words of his grandmother. Iskandar did not cry but his heart was wounded. The wounds that had been healing for a long time were now scratched again and this time it deepened.

“Nak, darling, please open the door. In the hut you often sleep late there is no way you have slept now. Please open the door, Mama wants to talk.” Cut continued to beg the son but unfortunately Iskandar was not ready to meet the mother.

“Grace is asleep.” Rendra said after returning from his second son's room.

“Where is this, Pah? Mamah was worried about Iskandar. Or we just break it?”

Rendra was also curious about the condition of the son after seeing the condition of the bike outside the house.

Brakkk….
