CUTS
Farewell...

The day of farewell is coming. Anugrah escorted Wulan to the airport where Iskandar's friend was waiting for them.

“And, titip Wula yes!”

“Sip!”

“I go first, A. Thank you!” said Wulan staring at the bead of the eyes of the man who had been accompanying her all this time. They hugged for the last time before Wulan entered the departure gate.

“Hopefully succeed and remember everything I said and taught!” Wulan nodded weakly then stepped her feet following Danu.

After Wulan's departure, Anugrah also left the airport with a heart and a feeling of emptiness.

“I didn't expect to see you in clothes like this. You look prettier in this shirt.” Danu said on the plane.

“I chose to close my aurat, Mas Danu. In this way, I feel calm when away from Anugrah.”

“I'm confused about your relationship. You guys are far apart even until divorce then at this time you just look like to close yourself from another man.”

Wulan just kept quiet, she did not want to explain about her heart to the friend of her ex-wife. Wulan chose to close his eyes, he still imagined when Anugrah gave one talak to him after the dawn prayer. For the first time they prayed together with Anugrah as priest. If the other husband and wife might get a kiss of love from the husband but Wulan actually got one talak from Anugrah. His chest ached, tight enough to make it difficult to breathe in a few seconds. They were bowed for a few seconds until Anugrah's voice returned to instruction if Wulan had to prepare immediately because the flight was not long.

At her service home, Anugrah had already wrapped all of Wulan's and hers' clothes in one cardboard box. He also called for a transport service to help him move.

“You moved yes, Om? Though just briefly stay here.” said one mother persit who is a neighbor.

“Iya, Buk. I'm sorry.” In that day Anugrah was ready to move to his parents' home again. Cut hugged his son as soon as he saw Anugrah entering the house.

“Propay yes!” said it.

“This is the best, Ma.” The answer.

Rendra came and hugged his son alternately with his wife. “Thank you, Pa, Ma.” Rendra patted his son's shoulder a few times.

“I go to the room first.” Anugrah wanted to avoid the look of pity from her parents. He knew his parents must be loving him right now. But this is what's best for them. The truck carrying the Anugrah's belongings immediately dropped all those items into the warehouse next to the house. Cut stared at the two beds that were lowered from the top of the truck. “They even sleep separately.” Cut said to her husband.

“Already, Ma. Grace can get through this as well as before.” Rendra calms the moping wife to see her youngest son's household.

“Iskandar when to go home?” tanya Rendra shifted the wife's mind.

“Says tomorrow.”

“Pa, what little bit of love grew in their hearts? Is it not that love will grow because it is used to being together? What else is lacking in their togetherness? Even during this time Anugrah was not awkward to help Wulan while bathing and washing her inner pigtails. Is that as hard as both hearts are, Pa?” cut's tears shed as well and all Rendra is capable of is hugging him.

“We pray, Ma. That's all we can do as parents.”

A car was driving along the road to the city. Dika took over then while Iskandar sat beside him. In the middle seat there is Ari Sama Dwi while behind there is Reski and Ana. After a blue farewell when Ana said goodbye to Abah and Umminya, the girl was cheerful as usual.

“Sorry, but we call your wife and Reski's wife what?” tanya Dika opened the conversation.

“Call name only if for Aisyah.” Answer Iskandar.

“Ki, how?” ask Dika without glancing at the rearview.

“I'm the same. We are the same age, it is strange if you call my wife ‘Mbak’ or ‘Kak’.”

“Em, actually there is something that makes me curious from yesterday and want to ask your wife directly, Ki.” Said Dika back.

“Then just ask! Why do you think so.”

“Em, actually why did Ana's two brothers refuse to be betrothed to Ari and Dwi?” finally the question just got away. And when Ana gave her answer, Dika suddenly pulled over the car suddenly.

“You're serious?” dika asked and at this moment she looked back followed the others. Now, Reski and Ana's positions are like suspects. Ana nodded weakly while looking down.

“But it seems that after seeing Mas-Mas sing earlier, they became sorry. Especially when you know that Mas Ari and Mas Dwi graduated from Cairo and have become lecturers. Again their eyes were wide open when they heard Ana's words.

“What did not tell you about us before meeting us with you?” this time Ari was curious.

“Then you took Reski for granted? How about he's a bum?” ask Dwi.

“Ana sure same choice Abah. A parent would not go wrong choosing a husband for his daughter. It's a kind of hunch let alone Mas Reski ever being Abah's student. Just like a wife's premonition if her husband cheats.” Ana glanced at her husband.

Ahem…

They turned back their bodies after a throbbing mocking Reski. “Prieve yes may our household be away from that test.” Soft Reski vapors.

“But the sororities are too much dazzling, Ana.” Ari's words made Ana again hit a meaningful look at her husband.

“Pak Iskandar how? Have you heard from my beloved wife?” ask Reski from behind.

“The phone is still dead. It seems, Anggia has instigated Aisyah to avenge my actions.” Iskandar's reply made Ari the older brother surprised.

“Anggia, sister? What did he do?”

“Entah. He had a chance to whisper to Aisyah after looking at me with a look of dislike.”

Ari laughed, “My sister is small but dangerous, Is. And if so, she will also be your cousin-in-law.”

“He doesn't like you anymore, Is?” ask Dwi who knows Anggia's one-sided love for Iskandar.

“Not like as a couple but comfortable as a sister.” Answer Iskandar.

“What's up?” Reski finally made a sound too.

“Bro, here is Reski's wife. So open each other aib.” Pinta Dika makes them compact laugh. Dika immediately play a romantic song to stop the action of his friends. When he heard the song that Dika played, Reski immediately started the song in Arabic with their voices in conjunction with others.

“You want to show off because you can speak Arabic?” upset Dika then he connected the temple in Indonesian.

“My throbbing heart feels beautiful this world we have.”

Ana, who was next to her husband, looked happy to see her husband sing a special song to her. “Jombo please be patient because singles are principles.” Dwi sneered at Reski's action in the back. Although they did not see but knew what his friend was doing in the back. Reski was the smartest to show his romantic side. His friends know how their best friend is.

“Pesona Reski is hard to miss including veiled girls like Uswatun Hasanah.” Ari Sela.

“If he's not friends with us I make sure he's now a playboy axe cap.” Iskandar Sahut.

“From you, Is. If you are not friends with us I am sure now you are sitting in your own corner.” said Reski after ending the song. Again unconsciously they opened each other's disgrace in front of Ana.

“Is, I borrow a car! After this I have to shop for home materials.” Pinta's Reski.

“OK. Just drop me off at Papa Faisal's.” Pinta Iskandar on Dika.

“You don't want to come down? While Dita is at my house.” Iskandar asked as he lowered his things.

“My clothes are in your house Your mother. I slept in mess only huh?”

“Terasu. I'm in first!”

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Walaikumsalam.” Iskandar stared at the fence of his biological father's house. Inside there is already a woman with the title of wife who may be waiting for him with various emotions that are held back.

“Bimillah.”
