CUTS
Pairs...

Mak Cek kept watching the girl who made her nephew fall in love. Of course Reni as an object realizes if he continues to get the attention of several pairs of eyes.

“Basic irresponsible men! It's got me in trouble, he's gone.” Grumpy Reni in heart. Dinner together then the Rendra family paid off because they had been picked up by the KODIM officials.

Before returning home, they had first informed the Cut family if they would return to Java and of course bring Cut and Iskandar two more days because there will also be a welcoming event. Also invited family from Aceh.

Rendra realized that her little sister had heaved a heavy sigh several times. His face that had been gloomy since then had now started to change a little. Meanwhile, Riko who turned upset for failing to approach the woman conqueror of the heart.

“Why are you, Ko?” asked Rendra to take a quick look at the face of the sister.

“Competence equals foreign products.”

Reni chuckled, after the incident only now she laughed loosely. “Pity...” he said again and increasingly make Riko annoyed.

“What do you say?” asked the mother who had looked tired with Mr. Wicaksono.

“Wood before developing, Ma.” Reni.

“Kak kok home with us?” ask Reni back.

“Why? Are you bored with Brother because you already have a new ‘KAK’?”

“Ehemmm..”

Reni immediately remained silent as she stared intently at Rendra and Faris who had dared to tease her.

“Papa agrees Reni with the guy earlier? Who knew he was only challenging himself not because he really liked Reni. Kasian Reni, Pa. Until he married a man without such a gesture.

“Men without gestur how?” asked Mr. Wicaksono curious.

Their debate came to a halt as the car they were riding in stopped right in front of the dormitory. Due to exhaustion, they were reluctant to argue again until everyone fell asleep including the newlyweds.

While at Mak Cek Siti's residence, Cut had slept soundly after all the series of events were over. Beside him were Iskandar and Intan who were sleeping with him. The bridal room that was supposed to be used for him and Rendra is now even used by Iskandar and Intan.

The next morning, Rendra accompanied his family on a walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Aceh. Starting from the beaches, food to some places that witness the ferocious tsunami waves. Days passed until finally the farewell must happen to some relatives.

“Jaga Cut yes, Son. As you used to look after our village.” said his mother Miftah.

Cut did invite the residents of his village as well as the family of Miftah. Cut hugged his mother Miftah with tears unraveling. “If he is still alive maybe he already has a child”

“God loves him more, Mak.” Cut's speech calms Miftah's mother.

Cut's departure was accompanied by prayers from the whole family. Before leaving, they first made a pilgrimage to the mass grave where it is believed that the bodies of Abu and Umi were found. The Rendra family was also present there. They witnessed firsthand how the vast land became where thousands of corpses were buried without shrouds.

Mak Cek Siti's family accompanied Cut to Java. Mr. Cek Amir, Mae, Intan and Faris and Bang Adi accompanied Cut there. Whether coincidental or intentional, their sitting position seemed to be sanctioned by the universe. Reni sat next to Bang Adi while Riko sat next to Intan. Mak Cek Siti holds Iskandar beside her husband. Others of course with their own partner include newlyweds who have not fulfilled their wishes.

At first glance, each of them looks like a couple. Riko occasionally glanced at Intan who was focusing on reading the novel. The novels that once belonged to Cut have now changed hands to Intan's.

“Oh..”

“You like?”

“Suka.”

“Let's take you to the shop. There are many good novels.”

“Still...”

Riko surrendered. He did not know how to make this teenage girl talk longer with him. Until an idea pops up all of a sudden, “What do you think of strangers? Especially foreign men.”

Intan thought for a moment ago, “According to what I've seen so far, they are kind, hardworking and have a high curiosity nature. This is evident from the many researchers who come from abroad.”

Riko nodded slowly, “You yourself how?”

Riko gasped, she did not expect the bait to be eaten either. Meanwhile, in the back row. Bang Adi and Reni were involved in a serious cold war. Bang Adi's cold and quiet attitude when they have the opportunity to talk is not used properly. Of course this made Reni very upset.

“Cih, yesterday you dared to talk to my parents. But, now you're not even giving me any explanation. You think I'm a statue?”

Finally, the pesah was also Reni's patience to the cold man beside her. Bang Adi pulled the tip of her lips slightly.

“I don't think you are. It's just that I don't want to force you to talk if you're reluctant.” Reply Bang Adi slowly.

“Cih, this is not how you should act. You know, you only dare with my Papa but don't dare to face me directly. Are you afraid I will refuse? Or are you traumatized by being rejected too often?” Reni started to let out her anger.

Bang Adi smiled slightly. He was well aware that the girl beside him was indeed very chatty as well. “Facing you small for me!”

Reni stared intently at the man beside her. The emotions within him were almost unbearable. If he doesn't remember the place then, he'll scratch off this shitty guy's face. “We'll talk later after arriving, okay?”

Glegs…

Reni had a hard time swallowing her saliva. Bang Adi twirled her body a little until now they were faced with Bang Adi's intimidating gaze Reni and the stressful words made Reni a little nervous and pounding.

Long enough they looked at each other until the sound behind disperse the contact between the two. Who else is the voice that made them stop talking. Intan who Riko is engaged in a debate that is no less fierce because it maintains their respective opinions. Riko smiled inwardly as her opponent began to stir up emotions to continue arguing with her. That way, Riko will continue to make Intan continue to look for his existence later. Intan is quite smart and he is very intolerant of defeat unlike his twin brother.

While Faris who was holding Iskandar was surprised to hear the words of his mother who suddenly talked about finding a partner. “Ris, you find the girl around where we live! Mom and Dad are old and we don't want to live alone. If you marry a girl who is far away for sure one day she will ask you to move away from us. If you can, find a housewife just so you can stay with us, yak an Yah?”

“Mamak find it then!”

“What??”
