“Where are you going Ren?” ask the mother
“Which sister is Ma? If Rudi is again in the room while Kak Rendra is also in the room staring at the twilight sky while thinking of the girl pujaan heart.”
“You acknowledge Rudi as a big brother but never call him sister.” sidelines the father.
“Rudi sister different 30 seconds, sir. If Kak Rendra is clearly different because it is older than me.” kilah Reni.
Rendra has a twin sister who is 24 years old. His father was named Edy Wicaksono a retired TNI and his mother was named Yetti Widiastuti.
“It looks like Kak Rendra really likes the Aceh girl. Since returning home from work he looks like a man lacking the spirit of life. Though his age is mature but still difficult to control feelings.” complained Reni.
“Mom told you not to marry that girl. And now that Mom's prayer is answered, she loses the girl and hopefully they never meet again. I already have a candidate for Rendra and I'm sure your sister will definitely fall in love with the girl of choice Mom.”
“Who, Mom?” ask the surprised father.
“The child is Wahid the same Risna. The time of Father does not remember. Wahid is one generation with the same father. Now they live in Semarang and I accidentally met with Risna yesterday. They're again on vacation in Batu.”
“Why new Mom story now same Mr?”
“Sorry, Sir. Forgetting, the usual age factor. Mom didn't tell me because tonight they're coming to our house. Mother invited them to dinner as we introduced Rendra to their youngest child named Risma.”
“Unfortunately they have how many children, Mom?” ask the husband back.
“They are just like us only the difference is their child there are no twins. His first son is married and has two children. Now living in Borneo, he follows in his father's footsteps as a soldier. Just like us, Rendra also followed in the footsteps of the Father. Her second daughter is also married and now lives in Padang following her husband's police duties. So they are very happy to know if Mom wants to match Rendra with their daughter because Rendra is also a soldier.”
“Great also the Wahid can have a son-in-law of the son of the servant of all countries. Unlike us, our children who want to follow in the footsteps of Mr. only Rendra, while they even want to be an office person.” said the father while pointing with the chin of his two twins who just gathered.
“Bapak don't do that, we will have our own ideals. You should know how not nice to have a father of a state servant. Sent to the war zone, continue if you survive if the return is only a chest? Parents should ask how their children feel, not just follow their wishes. Defending the country is mandatory but do not also sacrifice the happiness of children. Sorry sir, although I was born from a state servant but later I do not want to marry a state servant. So, Father alike Mother do not expect to get a son-in-law of a soldier like the friend of the Father!” everyone in the family room was stunned to hear the heart of the princess.
Pok...
“Wah...wah..excellent oration delivery from Reni Wicaksono. What a proud achievement.” said his twin Rudi Wicaksono.
“We don't force you to look for a countryman's spouse. The important thing for parents is that their children get married, not like your brother. The rank is high but still alone. Lose the same low-ranking men.” replied Bu Yetti.
“But not yet, if it's time to get married. Mother who is impatient continues to fear that Brother became the same Acehnese girl. What's-her-name? I forgot.”
“Cut. Name's Cut. If you don't like it better not say it. Just increase sins. Rendra came out for a while.” said Rendra then left both parents and his sister.

Cafes X...
Two men sat down and sipped coffee...
“I'm confused as to what advice. On the one hand I know Cut and I also agree however, on the other hand the blessing of parents is also important in marriage. Not to mention the current situation of Aceh is not possible if we go there personally that we think we defected. And now the news is he alone we do not know let alone the man who once forced her to marry is also still at large.”
“I'm also confused, Yu. But I can't just forget it either. Moreover, I have proposed to him and just wait for the answer. If we had met now, he would have rejected me. It might be easy for me to accept another woman but this is no clarity. It all depends without certainty. I'm not the kind of guy who likes women. She is also not a girl who likes men. That's why I really hope to get an answer. Can we ask for help with the troops who are in charge there?”
“Enjoyful, Ren. We have to know for sure which battalion is assigned in his area. Only after that we try to find one of the personnel that we can ask for help. This task was personal so they also definitely could not take it for granted. There are risks that may occur. Soldiers mingling with the people one of them must be in trouble. What I fear is that later the Cut family can get into trouble because there are soldiers looking for them.”
Rendra could only sigh heavily. His desire to find a solution did not turn out to be perfect. “There are some of our men who managed to marry Acehnese girls. I got info from the office guy.”
“Maybe you guys are not a match. Open your heart for now. If one day you meet again maybe God has set another path for you. You can't think about Cut forever. I'm sure he's got another guy there, too. However she is a very beautiful girl, surely many want her as a wife.” continued Revelation again.
“Later tonight my parents invited a family dinner of your friend first. You know for yourself what the purpose behind dinner is. My mother arranged all this.”
“You're set up? If I think, you just follow slowly. The rest leave it to the almighty. Don't refuse because it can make your parents disappointed. But you said you wanted to go slowly without coercion. So you can get to know each other first without rushing to get married. Remember we are country men, find a wife must be ready to be born inward.”
“I know that. We'll see later lah.”
