CUTS
Nelangsa...

In one corner of the city, a man was plunged into a deep sadness every time he saw the news in his area. Yes, that man is Faisal who is currently in Medan. After being evicted by his father, he chose to go to see Shinta. Honey, not a day he set foot in Medan, he must return to see the destruction. It was as if life was playing tricks on him. His household has just been destroyed and now he has to see his area destroyed even the fate of his family as well as his son and ex are unknown at this time. As a doctor, his soul was again called to help its citizens who were stricken by disaster.

Faisal eventually contacted some of his college friends and took some humanitarian actions to collect some of the items they would bring there. They will leave later tonight to Aceh by land with volunteers from other medical faculties. He is still monitoring the latest news from Aceh in the hope that he can return to find people he has hurt. Guilt haunted him more and more every time he watched the news from the glass screen.

“Sorry to me, Cut.”

“Sorry dad, Is. Dad made a mistake with you and now lives you.”

Even in his sleep he kept on calling their names. “Fais, wake! You dream again?”

The hero woke up his friend even though he was angry at Faisal but knew that Faisal was in Medan and asked for help to volunteer from campus. The hero with open arms receives it back. However, the matter that occurred between Faisal and Shinta was not entirely Faisal's fault.

Meanwhile, the woman who made Faisal and Cut divorced disappeared. Shinta has been gone for a long time and no one knows about it. The hero himself had tried to contact his family but, they were also unaware of Shinta's whereabouts.

It took a few days for them to get to Aceh because they had to collect donations first before leaving. All planning, assistance and so on must be prepared carefully to see how the area they will come to is very destroyed. Most of the buildings were flattened to the ground.

Days passed by weeks and did not feel almost a month of disaster earthquake and tsunami hit the coast of Aceh. Many people are missing and dying, not a few also suffered serious injuries and minor injuries including psychiatric disorders.

This woman who had been lying weak for almost a month had now started to open her eyes. His eyes were blank, he was like a woman lost in another realm. Dr. Guney saw it for the first time after getting a report from a nurse. The woman in full of wounds was Cut. If Dr. Guney knew that the wounded woman was also wounded in her heart. It could be that the wound in his heart was a wound that could not be treated anymore.

“Try to follow my finger directions!” dr. Pinta Guney and Cut immediately follow him.

Dr. Guney nodded softly at the nurse and a few assistants who followed him. “Bagus”

They nodded small and smiled. There was relief emanating from every pair of faces staring at Cut. They were the ones who were in the operating room handling Cut back then. Only those who were optimistic in treating Cut when he came after a few days lying under the rubble of the building.

His condition was almost impossible to survive with the dire circumstances when he was taken in by volunteers. However, the new Dr. Guney believes that the woman in front of him is a strong woman. The evidence, the woman still survive in a few days after the incident.

“He has survived all this time, so don't waste his struggle!” said Dr. Guney then invited his team to perform an operation on Cut.

On the other hand, Mae and Pak Cek Amir were finally able to meet with Bang Adi and Kak Julie. They were found together looking for each other. A relative's house became a residence for Mak Cek Siti and a large family. At the request of Kak Julie and Bang Adie, finally Mak Cek siti agreed to move to the house considering there is Iskandar who is still a baby.

“Your fathers and Mothers how?” ask Mr. Cek Amir when they want to leave the tent to the house of relatives of Mak Cek Siti.

“They have been taken to Medan hospital.”

“How about Faisal, have you heard from him?”

“If he was in Medan, now he must have come home Mr and Ibuk.” cynical Bang Adi.

“Already, hopefully God will bring us together with Faisal and Cut.”

“How about Ash and Umi Cut, Pak Cek?” curious Kak Julie because Pak Cek Amir did not mention the name of Cut's parents.

“They are martyred. May Allah forgive all sins and clear his grave.”

“Check has found his body?” ask Bang Adi.

“They came in a dream. Never mind, let's go!” Mr. Chek Amir ended the conversation.

It still felt in his memory when last night he dreamed of seeing his brother and his wife go with his nephew Ilham while holding the hand of a boy. There is also Razi who joined smiling looking at Mr. Cek Amir and disappeared. Pak Cek Amir until sobbing until Mak Cek Siti woke up from her sleep.

After telling his dream to his wife, the two then performed a night prayer together to pray for their families who were present in the dream.

“If in Dad's dream there are only them, it means Cut and Rendra are still alive. We have to keep looking for them, Dad.”

“Iya, Mother. Dad will keep looking for them.”

Every day, the men in this house go to find Cut and Rendra. While the women chose at home to take care of Iskandar. Only Julie's sister stays out of the house occasionally to find food or items they need. Each house gets basic food aid that is shared by the government. Baby needs such as diapers, milk and supporting foods are also provided.

Wisdom after a disaster is a sense of sharing and helping each other back tightly intertwined. Maybe after seeing how a small apocalypse happened a little change the mindset of the community who had been thinking only for themselves.

Some houses or shophouses still stand firm despite cracks everywhere. Just like Father Fahri's house. The area is only passed by water although heavy but not to hit like the first obak that hit the beach. After cleaning up his parents' medicine, they immediately returned home to see the condition there. And they were grateful enough that their luggage was still closed that morning so their cars and motorcycles were not carried away by water.

It was the vehicle that they used during the process of searching for Cut and Rendra from one tent to another.

“Mae, this is you, right?”
