CUTS
Grannies...

Two days Iskandar was in Aceh to see the condition of the grandmother. It was his third day there and this morning the doctor gave them good news. “Pure Mother has been allowed to go home, her health is so quickly improved after the arrival of grandchildren. It seemed like the presence of her grandson made Pure Mother feel excited again and wanted to get well soon.

“Thank you, Doctor.” Sisters Julie, Bang Adi and Iskandar. While Pure Mother only smiled a little. His hands hold the grandchildren's hands. It may be true what the doctor said if the healing of Pure Mother is affected by the presence of Iskandar.

“Come, Mom we're home!” said Brother Julie.

“I-mom want to go to ru-mah Is-kan-dar.” Lirih Pure Mother made Kak Julie and Bang Adi speechless staring at each other.

“Is bi-lang ma-u huk-jak I-bu me-laam-ar se-or-ang ga-dis.”

Tanta and Omnya compactly stared at Iskandar questioningly. While the one being stared at was precisely scratching his head. He did not know if his words were able to make the grandmother wake up from her sleep during treatment.

“Is, can explain this to us?” ask Om Adi.

“Is want to bring Grandma and Grandpa to Surabaya. God willing, Is wants to propose a girl and Is wants Grandma and Grandpa to be present there.”

“Ne-nek ma-u.” Pure Mother's Shrivell.

Brother Julie asked Iskandar to talk outside. Iskandar knew it would not be easy but he still wanted to take his grandmother with him. Sister Julie looked frustrated, “Why did you ask Grandma that? Do you know how Grandma is? Aceh-Surabaya is far away, Iskandar.”

“Quiet, Brother. We discussed it with doctor.” Sela Bang Adi's.

The three of them met a doctor who took care of their mother. “Pure Mother's health currently depends heavily on her heart. If his heart is happy, then his health is happy too. At this age, happiness from the closest family is important. Let him be happy at his age who is no longer young. God willing, his health will also improve.”

Finally after going through a long process, Pure Mother and Pak Fahri left her homeland. Their only destination was the main house owned by Mr. Wicaksono. Mr. Wicaksono himself has long allowed his house to be occupied. Moreover, he often stayed together in villas owned by his best friend. Mr. Wicaksono likes the calm atmosphere in the garden with his friends.

Wulan saw today the whole house seemed busy. Bibik was also busy in the kitchen while his mother-in-law together with Anugrah and Rendra were seen tidying up the lower room near the stairs. “Bik, what event is there anyway?” ask Wulan to come to the aunt in the kitchen.

“Family from Aceh will visit here.”

“Family from Aceh?” ask again.

“The mother was Acehnese. Who will come here are grandparents from Den Iskandar.” Bibik's answer made Wulan seem to think hard. He was confused by Bibik's explanation which he thought was unclear.

“The old man who will come here is my ex-in-law from his first husband. Den Iskandar was the son of Ibuk's first husband before marrying Mr.” Wulan started to understand, “Then the first husband went where?”

“Lost. At that time it was an earthquake and stunami so many Acehnese people were missing and died. No one knows how the fate of the father of Den Iskandar was until now.”

“Bik, ready?” ask Cut who just came. The woman looked exhausted but did not complain in the slightest even in a limp. Wulan had always been watching the woman silently. Cut's patience in managing it has proven how patient the woman with the title of mother-in-law is.

“You've eaten?” tanya Cut after drinking cold water from the refrigerator.

Wulan gave a small nod, “There will be Grandpa and Grandma from Brother Anugrah who will come. They'll stay here with us. You don't mind, do you?”

“Why is this woman asking my opinion? What if I told you I mind if he listens? Strange woman base.”

“Wulan, why are you daydreaming?” Wulan returned. He turned his wheelchair and walked away from it without giving an answer.

“Bik, I noticed the contents of the refrigerator more and more days just snacks and drinks packaging. Does Anugrah always eat all this?”

“Iya, Buk.”

“That kid always likes instant food. Did he also buy instant noodles?” Bibic lamps. During Anugrah's illness, Cut returns fussy with the Anugrah's food. Earlier he started letting but after the accident. Cut was already starting to fuss with his youngest son. Anugrah is notoriously naughty about food. He is very fond of packaged foods even though before the accident he always took care of food and diligent exercise to maintain body shape. But now, he seemed so indifferent to his body.

“Bik, please remind Anugrah. Bibik will be bestie if said children today.” Bibik smiled, “She just had an accident and all her bones need healthy food intake instead of packaged food like this. Did Wulan also eat this?”

Degs…

Wulan who was stealing heard to be surprised when her name was mentioned. “Ti-don't know, Buk. During this time who often bring food to Non Wulan's room Ibuk.” Kilah Bibik's.

“Yes too! I am old, Bik. It has to be a lot of miser. If people say julid, already smell the grave.” Gurau Cut's.

“Measure is not a benchmark, Buk. Many also entered the grave when young.” Reply to Bibik. They laugh together.

“Bik, but please remind Anugrah yes! If you do not want to hear, Bibik just hide instant noodles or instant food that he bought.

Well, that threatened Anugrah why Wulan panicked. Of course, he will be affected if the Bibik really carries out the orders of the mother-in-law. The car entered the house, everyone was already standing up to welcome the arrival of distant guests. Bibik invites Wulan to welcome them.

“Assalamualaikum,” say they simultaneously.

Cut and Rendra approached a couple who looked as old as that. They shook hands and hugged each other. “Welcome to our home, Sir, Buk. Have a nice trip.” Rendra.

“We are happy especially want to meet prospective grandchildren.” Said Mr. Fahri while Cut and Rendra just stared at each other in silence. They don't want to ask any further about it.

“Welcome, Brother.” Cut said to Julie.

“Adi, Reni not coming?” ask Rendra to her sister-in-law.

“No, she has to attend children's school events. I can't be long either.” Bang Adi said to her sister-in-law.

“What is Iskandar's future wife? Very beautiful to you, son.”

Well, answered already what was thought by Cut and Rendra. “This is Anugrah's wife, Buk, Pak.” Reply Cut made Pure Mother and Pak Fahri confused, “When is his marriage? Why didn't anyone tell us?”

“Not yet made reception, Sir. His wedding is also new.” Rendra.

“Before we came here we ate. Same mom just rest!” pinta Kak Julie's. Cut and Rendra drove the two old men to the prepared room. And sure enough, it hasn't been lying down for long. The two old men had already fallen asleep due to the exhaustion of traveling long distances.

 “This will all not happen if Iskandar does not say a no-no on them.” Brother Julie let out her frustration. While Cut glanced towards Iskandar.

“What is this, Is? Why are you upsetting your aunt?” ask Rendra.

“She told Mom she was going to propose to a girl and she asked Mom to get well quickly so she could take Mom to see her future wife.” Now all eyes are on Iskandar who has been looking at his phone since.

“He doesn't seem to need us anymore, Ma.” Said Rendra which made Iskandar look at him full of guilt.

“Not so, Pa, Ma. I just want Grandma to get well quickly and that's all I thought about back then.”

“So you just playfully said that to my parents?” ask Julie Emotion.

“Aunty Parents, My Grannies too.” Reply Iskandar no less fierce.

“I'm like de javu.” Bang Adi stared at Cut. The one who was stared at nodded.

“This is how his father used to be when he met Kak Julie.” Said Cut made Rendra look annoyed at the wife. While Wulan only watched in silence this family interaction in front of her.

“Already, ashamed of wife Anugrah. You guys are like little kids.” Bang Adi mediates.

“So, tell us. Is the girl real or fictional?” ask Rendra firmly.

“There, Pa. I just haven't gotten to know-“ yet

“Where to see?” ask Rendra again.

“Why did his Father fall? Weird family base.” Inner Wulan.

“On campus, Pa.”

“Lecturer?” Iskandar.

“Student?” Iskandar nodded.

“You're dating your student?” This time Cut is speaking.

“No, Ma. We're not dating. He's one of my tutoring students. He's done trial and just waiting for graduation.” Iskandar.

They compactly nodded their heads. “Then when will we propose to him?”

“Not yet, Ma. He's still busy fixing his scripts.”

“Bring him here! We would like to know all of you having lunch together on Sunday.” Iskandar nodded.

“God willing if he wants.”

Brother Julie and Bang Adi left them to rest. Stay there Iskandar, Cut and Rendra. Wulan herself chose to go to her room. Cut tells Iskandar about Dita who wants to meet him. Iskandar did not refuse, he also wanted to know what Dita's figure was like to make his grandmother enter the hospital.

“Is ask for her mobile number, Ma.” Cut handed Dita's mobile number stored on his phone to Iskandar and the young man contacted the girl.

“Hallo, who is this?” ask Dita across there.

“It's me, Iskandar.”

“Iskandar? Oh, Iskandar Papa Faisal's son?”

“Hem, Mama says you want to meet. Where are you?”

“Yap, I'm now in Surabaya. You?”

“How about we meet later in the afternoon at a cafe near my campus? I'll send you a final course.”

“OK!”

After wrong ashar, Iskandar immediately went to the cafe where he met with Dita. Iskandar circulated his gaze to look for the figure he said was waiting for him.

“I've arrived, where are you?”

“Interested!” Shouted a girl as she waved at the entrance.

“Dita?”

“Iskandar?”
