CUTS
Checkpoint...


Anugrah looked at Wulan who was ready with ice cubes and red medicine. Previously he had contacted the mother to inform him that they would stay at home office on the grounds of a lot of work. Anugrah did not want her mother to see and wonder with bruises on her face the result of a fight with her ungodly cousin.


“Have contacted Sister?” ask Wulan.


“Already, he said in a moment to get home.” Wulan handed the ice bag to Anugrah's hand. “What were you guys talking about that night?” ask Anugrah. He had not had time to ask anything about that night when he found Wulan and her mother sleeping together.


“We tell you funny and light things while eating a snack. And it turns out that Mama really likes snacks even after eating she will pray that the snacks in her stomach will be all dirt in the next day.” The little smiling grace looked at the girl's bead eyes. Another look than usual.


Wulan instantly retreated as Anugrah slowly approached towards him. “Sorry,” said Anugrah was aware of what he had done.


“I go to the room first.” Wulan then tried to get up from her seat. Anugrah reflex woke up to help but Wulan immediately refused by raising her hand. “Let me try so that my feet are not too comfortable to be swept by you continue.” Anugrah nodded and then he walked beside the wife and even reduced the rhythm of the road to be very slow like a snail.


As soon as the bed Wulan actually fell and Anugrah who was about to catch Wulan's body even fell on Wulan's body because of lack of balance. The two sat for a few seconds before Wulan threw his face away. But one thing Anugrah felt at that time was that Wulan's chest that was tightly attached to her made Anugrah feel a little comfortable and curious about that thing.


“Ehem...” Wulan cleared up Anugrah who was too comfortable to be on it.


“Sorry,” said Anugrah then got up and out of the room feeling awkward. It was not once that the two of them were in such a condition but somehow that made Anugrah suddenly think in that direction. During this time even Anugrah has done more than that such as helping Wulan put on her pants to zip her dress. Even taking a bath together once they did when Anugrah was suddenly called to the office while she was bathing Wulan. To save time, he opened his shirt and took a bath together under the shower.


“Don't go to the bathroom by yourself!” said the grace behind the door.


After the awkwardness that occurred, Wulan chose to sleep while Anugrah returned to the living room to shift her mind by watching TV. While at Rendra's residence, Iskandar just arrived home.


“Assalamulaicum,”


“Walaikumsalam,” replied Bibik but Cut? The woman answered in her heart. In fact, he did not even glance at his son who had already laid himself in his lap. Such is Iskandar's trick to melt the heart of the mother. Seeing that, the aunt immediately left her master. Iskandar already knew about the turmoil of the mother of his beloved sister.


“Ma, yok road!”


“A long time ago we did not walk together like before. Mama remembers not the time we used to walk before I went to Yemen and we kept seeing Papa as Aunt Risma. Who knows if we're out now we'll see Papa with that aunt or other aunts.”


Plaque…


“Kok Mama hit me? I only remember my dear past if it's forgotten. I am also hungry, and we eat out of it we go to the official house of Anugrah. We give him a surprise. If only we could stay there. We make them bother.” The idea that suddenly sparked just like that would make his sister wretched.


“Mama take the same bag shirt first.”


“Kok fast really ready, Ma?” goda Iskandar who got a sharp look from his mother.


“Where, Ma, Is?” ask Rendra who just came home.


“You two walks, Pa.” Answer Iskandar.


“Where? Keep Papa how?”


“It's time for mother and son, Pa.” Replied Iskandar, winking one of his eyes.


“Papa himself first yes! Mama wants rasain how to go bersama brondong kayak in sinetron.” Cut kissed the husband on the cheek and walked to Iskandar's car.


While at a cafe, Anggia was laughing at the face of a man called ‘paman’ with great satisfaction to make Teuku upset.


“Wah, Brother Anugrah is great too yes can defeat Uncle. I have to congratulate Brother Anugrah.” Teuku stared intently at this veiled girl in front of him.


“You accompany me to meet Iskandar's parents yes!”


Laughter Anggia suddenly stopped, “Uncle, do not like a child deh. Just got hit just like that already reported the old man. Uncle has grown up so just this ordeal of life then forget!” Anggia casually responded to the uncle's annoyance.


“Ck, well Ustazah. I assume you agreed to my invitation.”


“When you want to go?”


“Tomorrow!”


“OK!”


Feeling no other discussion, Anggia back surfing in cyberspace. He is a fairly well-known veiled selebram and has a blue tick in the salt application. Anggia did not know if one of his followers was the man sitting right in front of him at this moment.


“Assalamulaikum, Ukhti.” Anggia smiled sweetly read a message that entered in the salt application.


“Walaikumsalam, Akhi..” reply without caring about people around.


“To what, Ukhti?”


Anggia suddenly photographed her drinking glass, “You why you?” ask me suddenly.


“No need to hope, Uncle! In fact, this glass is more attractive than the face of Uncle.” Ketus Anggia then back late with his cell phone.


“Whose name?” reply to that account again.


“Sama people dong. Can't I be the same as you?”


“I amenkan ya Uhkti!!!! Hope Ukhti can be the same as me.”


“???”


“Kok not replied amin, Ukhti?” ask the account back.


“Not ready guaranteed!” anggia Balas.


“Come home!” invite Teuku suddenly makes Anggia surprised and then follow Teuku to the parking lot.


While across the cafe, Cut and Iskandar did not expect his jokes would come true. They see Teuku and Anggia coming out of the cafe together. Iskandar regretted his words. Because the man prefers to meet his girlfriend than with the woman who has been looking after him as a baby.


“Ma, we continue yok!” Cut nodded then the two walked back down the sidewalk.


“Ma, buy it yok! When I was a kid this food didn't exist.” Iskandar invited his mother to stop in front of a meatball and egg roll merchant.


“How come yes, Buk?” ask the seller to Cut.


“Iya, Sir. Not similar huh?” ask Cut back.


The seller smiled, “The nose looks like Mom, butts!”


“He looks like his father's family, Sir.” Mr. seller nodded then, “Zaman now likes to be confused, Buk. Sometimes I'm wrong to see a partner like you right now. Several times I got an angry look because it turns out they are not a mother and child but a lover.” Iskandar shook his head with a small smile.


They sit on a bench on the sidewalk while enjoying the food. “Enak yes, Ma?”


Cut nodded. “How does Mama feel now?” ask Iskandar slowly.


“Don't bury everything yourself, Ma. Mama's got me, same grace Papa. Let others not appreciate Mama but we are always there for Mama.”


Iskandar paused his words for a moment, “Papa Fais is indeed my papa but without Mama I cannot be like this. I need Mama more than Papa! So, Mama don't be afraid that I'll go to Papa's house and leave Mama. Mama is everything even if Mama doesn't approve of me with Aisyah. I'll still accept.” Cut looked at his son in disbelief.


“You're serious?”


“If Mama does not like the personality of Aisyah I will accept sincerely but if Mama rejects Aisyah because she was raised by Papa then I will accept without sincerity. Aisyah did not choose to be treated by whom? He was just a sinless baby who happened to be comfortable in Papa's arms back then. Are we going to be cruel by rejecting him because he grew up in the upbringing of Papa Fais.


“You love him?” Iskandar nodded.


“Currently he doesn't know that we're not siblings. He's in his orphanage in a village not far from here.”


“Orphanage?” Iskandar nodded.


“The orphanage he founded when he was 20 years old. The orphanage's permanent donor was his own family. Papa Fais, Buk Ayu and Teuku.”


“Marry if you are sure of him. Mama can only bless and pray. You better know who deserves to be with you someday.” Iskandar kissed his mother's cheek suddenly to make some visitors around glance at them with a strange glance.


“This is my birth mother, Mas, Ma'am. Great woman who has given birth and raised me.” Said Iskandar while staring one by one the visitors who glanced at them.


“Come home! Mama can be thought of Aunt Girang lovers brondong with your act it.”


“We are going to Anugrah's house?” tanya Iskandar made sure.


“So, Mama has brought one set of clothes. We buy food before we go there.”


“Ready, Madam!”


At 10 pm they arrived at the official house of Anugrah. “Mama wants nostalgia back huh?” asked Iskandar as the car was about to pass through the checkpoint. Iskandar lowered the windshield of his car as he arrived in front of the post.


“Goodnight, Father, Mother. Sorry where are you going?”


“Night, Sir. We're going to Pratu Anugrah's house. I'm a big brother and this is his mother.”


“Can we ask for his ID?” After checking the ID card, they are immediately allowed to enter the complex.


And how surprised they were when they saw in front of the house Anugrah already parked the motorbike belonging to the commander.


“Papa can not be far from Mama kayaknya.” Celutuk Iskandar's.


Once they arrived at the door, they gave a greeting and the door opened showing Anugrah who was smiling ignorantly at her brother but the gaze of the mother and sister was different.


“Your face why?” Cut a little freaked out then followed inside.


“I spanked!”


Degs…


Rendra answered the wife's words and of course increasingly made Cut and Iskandar confused.


“We train in the ring do not use facial security so this. Who told him to doubt his father's strength. Changed him younger he thinks his father can no longer beat people.”


“It's been treated, Ma. Nothing serious.” Sela Wulan's.


“You guys why the hell use this exercise? You too, Pa. Cook your own child until battered like this. I didn't give birth to her for you to hit ya!” protest Cut.


“Papa didn't hit him, Ma. It was pure practice. Even if the child, training should still be professional.” Rendra Sahut.


“Already, don't fight anymore. This is a house, the walls are the same as the neighboring house. If you want to fight back home there!” Iskandar mediates.


“Mama bring a snack?” tanya Wulan helps her sister.


Cut glanced at Wulan then picked up one plastic snack. “Come, we eat in the room!”


“Ma, we?” Anugrah memelasih but unfortunately the action does not work for the mother. When the women came inside, the men sat in the front garden.


“Who did you hit?” asked Iskandar as soon as they sat in the front garden of the house. Anugrah and Rendra took out the cigarette.


“Since when do you smoke? Didn't Papa stop?” once again Iskandar spoke.


“You want?” Rendra instead offered Iskandar and it succeeded in making Anugrah laugh.


“Grace beating your cousin!” rendra's words surprised Iskandar.


“Sepup-, Teuku?” tanyanya did not believe.


Rendra and Anugrah compactly nodded. “Why?”


“I'm angry because he hurt my mother. So I just beat him up.” Answer the relaxed grace.


“Ck, your mother is also my mother.”


They compactly discuss about the fight while in Wulan's room and Cut is enjoying their snacks and Cut starts telling her a lot about herself to the son-in-law.


“Mama great! Still is that, Ma? Do not think too much about what has happened. enjoy and respond as relaxed as possible.”


“Thank you yes! I don't know why Mama feels comfortable telling you. Turns out you are sweet too if not fierce.”


Wulan chuckled, remembering her bad times. “How is your foot condition?”


“Alhamdulillah much progress. Mama saw for myself earlier, I can walk without being swept again.”


Cut smiled, “Mama is sure your late mother is already happy there. You should be happy too! Life is short so enjoy it productively and passionately.”


“Thank you, Ma.”


“Find other men if you are unhappy with Anugra!”


Glegs…
