CUTS
The shinta...

Two families are sitting together facing each other. A pair of human children would occasionally steal a glance at each other. Tiara and Anugrah look absolutely perfect tonight with natural makeup. Wearing a dark blue dress further beautifies the appearance of Tiara who has white skin so that it contrasts with the color of her white skin.

Cut squeezed his hand occasionally glancing at the woman sitting opposite him who was also staring at him.

“So, as stated by Anugrah earlier. We came here to propose the daughter of Father and Mother named Tiara to our son, Anugrah. If you and Mom are willing to accept us for the next time we will come with an official application. Honestly, this is too sudden for us to have not prepared everything well.” said Rendra.

“We also apologize for only being able to accept potluck like this because it was quite sudden. But, we are happy because we finally get to meet each other in person like this. For the application issue, we as parents approve because our daughter also said this is married to the son of Father and Mother.” Saying Father of Tiara.

“Thank God then. We're so happy to hear that. But there's one thing we're new to and maybe we should discuss now. We are a Muslim family and we know that the family of the Father and Mother are Christian. As you know, this marriage must be done with one belief-“

“Then Anugrah can convert the same beliefs as Tiara because Tiara can not switch to your beliefs. Isn't it Bu Cut Zulaikha?” Shanti emphasized her voice when she mentioned the name Cut.

“I'm like de javu. I used to be in a relationship with a man and our family didn't approve of it because of differences in belief. I can't follow him and he does too. We eventually separated, though still in love with each other. Let's decide tonight, whether this proposal will continue or end. Because as I said before, Tiara will not follow the Anugrah faith!  If Anugrah wants to follow Tiara, we will accept with open arms.” Obviously Shinta is long.

Yes, Tiara's mother is Shinta. The third woman in Cut's household with Faisal, Iskandar's father.

“Ra, you won't follow me?” Anugrah began to sound a little soft. The look on his face had changed, there were no more happy twinkles like the first time he came.

“Sorry, A. I can't!”

Shinta looked at Cut while smiling. He also glanced at Iskandar occasionally. Iskandar's face does have similarities with the father in certain parts. Shinta who has been with Faisal for a long time certainly knows the parts that resemble the former. Iskandar himself began to be uncomfortable when he realized there were two pairs of eyes that were staring at him.

“So what decision tonight is final or can still be negotiated again?” ask Rendra. He was still trying to get the girl his son loved.

“It seems like there is no need to continue, sir, because of their own no one wants to budge. I think that this way you do not need to continue the relationship that we all already know in the end. You will not be together because of different beliefs. Therefore, both Tiara and Anugrah better find a replacement for each. There is no need to hate each other because this separation is not you who want it but the universe does not give permission for you to unite. We can still be on good terms because there's nothing to blame in this. Be happy with your partner, whoever it is!” The heartfelt words of Tiara's father.

“I'm grateful you didn't leave any trace of Tiara. That way, he can easily get your replacement.” Sela Shinta looked at Cut cynically.

“Tonight, your relationship has ended well. Even you wear formal clothes to end your relationship. A rare event that is exemplary by many. When you guys were together, we didn't know, but the break up was right in front of us. Where there is a love story like this.” Seloroh Shinta without burden.

They ended the meeting well. When the family was out of the house, Anugrah was still sitting there with Tiara.

“Om, Auntie, can I talk to Tiara for a minute?” pinta Anugrah made everyone who was about to come out look back.

"Please! you guys really need time to talk. Come, we give time for them to finish well.” Take Tiara's father.

“Definitely hard for them!” sahut Rendra's.

“We were once young. And I've experienced it like they're experiencing right now. Pain for years. Especially when we have to see our partner with the choice of his parents. It was the worst nightmare of a person's life. Hopefully, Brother Anugrah also did not experience the same thing. If you experience this too then you should ask your parents this. What mistakes have they made in the past until you have to experience events like this.” Shinta looked at Iskandar.

“Ma, why speak so?” reprimand the husband.

“Sorry, Pa. Carry atmosphere. My husband is a great man who wants to accept me when I am down because I was left behind by a man I love so much. The man prefers the woman of his family choice than me to not even admit his own child.” Cut was speechless no more. Everything Shinta said was true but she was also innocent in that. She did not know if her husband already had children with the woman who almost became his besi.

“Buk, can we talk for a minute?” Ask Cut.

Shinta smiled slightly then nodded. They both headed for one of the benches on the front lawn.

“What is he Bang Fais's son?” Cut immediately asked the thing that made him not calm from earlier.

“Does he look like Fais in your eyes?” cynical Shinta.

“Sister, I'm serious. What Tiara Bang Fais's son?”

“Not!”

Cut sighed, “Then which Bang Fais boy?” ask Cut back.

“Ck, why do you want to know? Her father just doesn't want to know why you are bothered?”

“Kak, the night before the tsunami. Bang Fais has divorced me and he went straight to Medan to see Brother. Didn't you guys meet?”

There was a sense of regret in Shinta's heart after hearing Cut's words. “Kak, if you said from the beginning that you are pregnant. Maybe at that time I will ask Bang Fais to see Brother.”

“The boy is your son and Fais?” ask Shinta.

Cut a small smile, “Similar huh? Big brother must have Bang Fais' face, right? Male or female?”

“Female,” Shinta replied briefly.

“Their life is definitely not much different right? Where is he now?”

“Already dead!”

Cut held onto his chest, he could hardly believe what he was hearing at the moment. “You were late in telling Fais to come to me. His son hunted taken god so tired waiting for his father.”

Tears Cut shed, chest tight imagining the little baby is gone, “This is all because of you, Cut. Now look at karma. What happened in the past has happened to your children. May Iskandar also feel the same karma as his father!”

“Kakkkk..”.

“Why? You scared? Now you know what it's like? Enjoy your days receiving one by one past karma.”

Shinta left Cut who was holding her chest. He didn't expect to come back to face the past. While inside the house exactly in the living room. A pair of officially clothed human children with a united purpose are now sitting against each other in a stroke of grief. Tiara even hiccups when both hands are held friendly by the lover.

“Ra, it's not that easy to end my feelings for you. Our relationship is over but my feelings are not, Ra. I'm not ready to lose more precisely I've never been prepared to lose you like this. Ra, I love you so much and I haven't been able to find your replacement. Thank you for being the most beautiful love for me. Thank you for the wonderful days we spent together. You are the most beautiful woman for me. It will be difficult for me to release you maybe never even be able to.” shed already tears that since he tried to hold.

Anugrah drew Tiara in her arms. Pouring each other's taste, decays in a restrained sob. To both end the love that has been beautifully intertwined for several years in one night on the grounds of differences of belief. A high wall that is difficult to climb by both.

“A, I love you. But the wall between us is too hard to break. We lost to fate, A. We can't forget what fate has written. I love you, A.” Tiara's voice sounded in tandem with her sobbing.

Bibik and Mamang who peeked from the family room also cried. They love Tiara very much and love Anugrah. They didn't expect the relationship to end like this.

“Please once they are yes, Mr.” Said the aunt to her husband.

“Iya, Buk. Hopefully they get a partner who is the same at a later date.”

“Amin...” says to both.

Anugrah unravels her embrace, “I came home ya!” Tiara nodded while looking down.

Cup…

Anugrah kissed Tiara's forehead for a little while and left afterwards. The hands of the two were released with the cries of Tiara. Anugrah wiped her tears and approached her parents who were waiting outside.

“We're saying goodbye, Sir, Buk.” Rendra said as he saw Anugrah coming out of the Tiara house.

“I'll be home, Om, Aunt.” Anugrah then kissed the hands of the two parents from the Tiara.

He glanced at Tiara's room before riding in the car. This time, Rendra took over the wheel while Anugrah sat in the back with her mother.

“Propay Yes, Nak.” Lirih Cut rubbed gently on the back of the son.

Anugrah hugged her mother while holding back tears. He was very sad, his heart was very broken. At the same time, the mother also felt sad because she remembered every word Shinta said. Now, he experienced what Shinta experienced.

“Is destiny toying with me right now?”
