CUTS
Just Pretending...

Banda City...

“Cut, you didn't go the course?” ask Umi.

“No, Umi. Cut like a fever. Whole body tastes bad.” Umi holds the princess' forehead.

“Not hot.”

Umi stared fixedly at the princess who was busy playing with little Rendra. Umi senses that there is something the princess is hiding to her.

Three activities are carried out every day except Saturday and Sunday. It's been four days that Cut hasn't gone to a computer course for a variety of reasons. Umi had tried to ask this but, Cut could always avoid Umi's question.

The news of the fight at the course finally reached the youngest Cut Intan's ear. He was also one of the students at the same course as Cut. Only, their schedules were different. If Cut enters the morning then Intan enters the afternoon after school.

Not the name Intan if he kept silent after knowing the news from his friends. Moreover, this concerns his cousin brother. After the magrib, Diamond immediately held a meeting with his two brothers at home to find a solution to the quarrel.

“So how is this? Counting today means that already a week Kak Cut did not go to the course.” said Intan.

“Why not say the same mom? Who knows you have the solution.” replied Faris.

“Yee... Problems like this we try to solve together first. Do not involve the mother later so the length of his business. Moreover, this is the business of young people.” sela Razi.

“Yap... right as Brother said. Bang Faris is a little mamak. Cemen...” ledek Intan who got a pinch of cheek from Faris.

“Awww..pain, Bang.”

“Feel..”.

“Already! Do you want to find a solution or fight? Brother tired of hearing it.”

The two boys finally shut up and thought of a solution so that his older cousin would return to the course without shame or humiliation.

One week later...

Tit....

The sound of the motor horn stopped right in front of Abu shophouse who was busy serving buyers with Mae.

“Eh Mr. Doctor. Want to buy what?” ask Mae.

“You pick up Kak Cut. Brother went upstairs first huh Mae?”

“Abu! Isn't Bang Razi older than Brother Cut? Why did he call Kak for Kak Cut?”

“Yes, Razi is older than Kak Cut. But Abu is older than Razi's father. So, judging from his nasab although Kak Cut's age is younger, but Razi still had to call Kak Cut with the call Kak.”

“Ooooo..”.

While upstairs, Cut who was feeding the little Rendra was surprised by the arrival of Razi who looked very neat.

“What's up, Zi? You're not in college?” cut asked while feeding Rendra.

“Razi wants to take Brother to the course. Brother get ready! Let Razi bribe Rendra.”

“Liar Mak Wa alone the bribe of Rendra.” Umi takes the plate from Razi's hand.

Gelagat Razi who suddenly picked up Cut certainly did not escape the attention of Umi. After Cut's departure to the room, Umi immediately asked Razi.

“What exactly? Mak Wa has already asked but your brother has never said anything to Mak Wa. Did Cut have any problems at the course? We always pay the course money on time. What's the matter Razi?”

Staring at Mak Wa with guilt and pity, Razi finally told him everything that happened to Cut. Umi was so shocked that she intended to move Cut to another course.

“Don't be rash, Umi. Let Razi finish it the way Razi did. Mak Wa do not be discouraged, because this is the business of young people so that young people also finish.”

“But you guys don't hit people ya!”

Razi chuckled, “No, Mak Wa. could run out Razi if you know Razi hit people. The point is, Mak Wa calm down first. We finished it well in our own way. If later it does not work we find another course.”

“Mak Wa, if you can not tell Mr. Wa first, fear Mr. Wa add thoughts. I'm afraid you'll know the same father. Can be long business. Razi later told Mak Wa how it turned out, huh?”

Umi nodded in agreement. After saying goodbye to Umi and Abu, the two went straight to the Cut course. Two shophouses before reaching the course place the motorbike that Razi was riding suddenly stopped.

“Why, Zi?” ask Cut.

Razi got off the bike and stood facing Cut. “Kak, I already know what happened. My goal was to pick up Brother today to solve the problem my way. More precisely in the way the three of us. Starting from here until the course Brother I will not call using the name Kak. Don't ask why? But when you get there someone asks me who's the same brother. Then, Big Brother must answer I am a special person in Brother's heart. And don't argue if anyone says I'm Brother's girlfriend. When viewed from age and appearance, we are suitable to be a lover. But dear we were born as a family.” Razi's words ended with a laugh that made Cut confused and surprised.

“So's confused huh?” tanya Razi returns who is taken head by Cut.

“You talk too fast and go round and round.” replied Cut.

“Start from here to the course place. I'll act like Brother's girlfriend. Brother doesn't have to do anything just call me with Bang's call and I'll call Brother with Dek's call. The rest let me settle, because brother has never been dating so do not know what to do. So, leave it all to me. Okay!”

“Oh, you mean we pretend to be dating?”

“100. Now you understand right?”

“But what are we doing like this for?”

“Let's let Intan explain at home. Brother, just follow what we have planned. Now we go to the course and if anyone asks who I am. My brother smile! Don't answer anything. Brother doesn't look like a liar so it's hard if I tell you to lie. So smile just don't answer anything.”

“How, what can now be practiced?”

With little doubt they finally continued the mission all the way to the course.

As expected Razi, when they reached like women who looked at Cut with eyes full of hatred. Cut was shocked as Razi's hand clasped his hand suddenly. Cut's surprise did not get there because Razi also entered the course which was definitely creating a furore at that time.

Likewise with Feri who was talking to his girlfriend. “Which man is that?” whispered Razi and again managed to make Cut surprised.

Razi caught the figure who became the culprit of his brother's problems. “Feri?”

Feri and Winda stared at the two people in front of them with a look of bewildered face. “I Razi, fiance Cut Zulaikha. I really hope the events of a week ago don't happen again to my fiancee. And I hope you can teach professionally with my fiancee. And please tell your boyfriend to keep his word. Better still if he wants to apologize.” said Razi after shaking hands with Feri.
