CUTS
Genjers...

The days that Cut went through went through in the grief of post-parting with his family and son. Although they often call but Cut's heart still feels sad. Cut who never went far is now sad to miss his family. He misses a lot of things especially the Acehnese food he used to eat. While in a new place, he had to adjust to eating food that had never been eaten before with a taste that was much different from Acehnese cuisine.

Rendra who originally did not want to burden Cut to cook because he wanted to enjoy alone time with his wife while his leave was still there had to be willing when Cut asked him to accompany her to the market. Cut no taste to the cuisine that Rendra buys every time they come out. For the sake of the wife who some days looks gloomy and sad, Rendra complied with the request of the wife by accompanying her shopping to the market. There, Cut looks happy when choosing the fish he wants, vegetables and some other kitchen spices that are not available in his home.

Some are funny when they shop at that traditional market. Cut saw a lot of people who buy genjer even almost scramble because it is still fresh.

“Customer give it to duck. We nobody ate it.” Whispered Cut to the husband. And when he came home, Cut instead found his sister-in-law to the house with a cup of sauteed genjer left by the housekeeper at the house of Mr. Wicaksono.

“This Bibik made specially for Kak Cut. Don't let it not be eaten huh?” Rendra held a smile when a plate of genjer was located in front of the wife.

While Reni who does not know things casually took the plate and put rice and genjer in it. He ate the genjer voraciously in front of Cut without being awkward.

“Why only see, Brother? It's delicious, you know. Surely in Aceh there is no right?” ask Reni back.

“In Aceh, who eats this duck is not a person.” Sahut Rendra who made Cut suddenly look at him surprised.

“Uhukkkk.

“This delicious food that ducks eat? Well..means I'm like a duck huh? Ko was given to the duck anyway, brother. It's healthy. All ducks should be healthy. Eat healthy food too.”

The discussion around genjer ended after Reni finished his meal. Cut looked again at the untouched genjer and slowly put it in his mouth. Cut felt, digest slowly up to, “Enakkan?” a small whisper from the husband made him swallow the genjer.

“Moreover plus hot rice and fried fish, wihhh steady tenan..” Rendra is ready with a plate of rice and genjernya. Sitting face to face with Cut who is still tasting a new food plan until it finally runs out.

Prokkkk…

Reni clapped from behind. “No likes what doyan?” tanyanya back.

Cut smiled embarrassedly because only this time he ate food that he had been ridiculed as duck food. But now he eats it.

“You added?” ledek Rendra's.

“No. This is enough.”

“Don't be shy, Brother. Shy hungry.” Sahut Reni's.

After the two finished eating that could either be called noon or not because 10 o'clock could not be said to be noon. “What's up, tumben you're here?” Ask Rendra to her sister.

“Nganterin deposit aunty.”

“Do not reason. There must be something, right? Tell me, what's up?”

“Ih, This brother. Okay, I'd actually like to talk to Brother Cut. More precisely –“

“More precisely want to ask Cut if Adi is a man like what, right?” cut Rendra.

Seeing a pair of brothers, Cut again missed two people who had left first. Both are called by the power in the same way that is shot. Yes, Cut wiped the tip of his eye at a glance and it was caught by Rendra's vision.

“Why, Honey? You're crying?”

As for her in-laws, Cut hasn't been that close. Moreover, after marriage and after his family returned to Aceh. Rendra never took her to the house of her father-in-law again. Only Reni who often go back and forth to their house sometimes deliver food left by the aunt or just play to eliminate the annoyance often feud with her twin brother.

“Yes that's it, brother. The road in a place to be healthy.” Reni replied meaningfully.

“We as a girl have to wait. Well, if the long-awaited do not come-coming yes means look for another dong. Aren't you? Kayak Kak Cut waiting for Kak Rendra. Brother Rendra did not come, Brother Cut married another.”

“Reni..” Rendra's voice is a little creepy.

“Lha, right? I do that too. If the strange man doesn't come next month. So say good bye. Waiting for an uncertain person. Women should be sure.” Kilah Reni is back.

“We want to rest first, you want to be here or go home?”

“Kak ngusir me? I used to tell me this it was my turn to marry and I was expelled. Liver Brother.” Reni mendrama because Rendra expels his sister. Rendra knows very well how the character of this one sister. Therefore, he did not want Cut to be involved in a conversation that ended in hurting his wife later.

After Reni's departure, the two husbands chose to rest in the room. The two enjoy a break while clutching each other.

“From yesterday did you seem to have a lot of thoughts? Do you miss them?” asked Rendra while one hand rubbed the beautiful mane of Cut's.

“I feel far away with them. Maybe because it's used to it so their turn is none me so sad.”

“After I start active to the office, later you will be a lot of activities and after that I am sure you will feel better. Gathered with fellow persitous mothers from various regions. There are also those from Aceh. I'll introduce you personally later?”

Cut nodded slowly. Then the two fell asleep from exhaustion after touring the traditional market. Rendra did not expect that the wife was very fond of the market so she had to go around just to look at the market conditions.

At the same time, Rendra's parents were visiting a residence that used to be warm enough for their son before the court hammer was knocked. They got an invitation to lunch at the home of Mr. Wicaksono. And it turns out there is also Risma, Rendra's ex-wife.

“How are you, Nak?” ask Mother Yetti to make small talk.

“As aunt see.” Answer Risma flat.

“Let him alone. He has got his karma and now he is looking at how God breaks down the brazenness of his servant.” Sindir Mr. Wahid on his two friends, they left Risma and joined in the back garden. Although they are ex-Besan, the relationship between the two is still good. Because for Mr. Wicaksono, there is no special friendship other than when they both fight and keep each other under the ridge of bullets.

“How are the newlyweds? They still live in the big house?” ask Risna's mother.

“They're good. Now I live in my own home. Rendra had bought another house that was still a complex with other soldiers as well. But not dorm.” Buk Yetti.

“You didn't visit your daughter, Yet?”

“Not yet, we haven't been there. Only Reni went there often. Let it be, they definitely want to spend more time together after a long separation.”

“Pity yes their fate it. must be divorced first just found his soul mate.”

“The path of destiny no one knows, Ris. So do we, maybe according to the creator, we are more suitable to be friends than besan, right Wahid?” the question on the sidelines of the joking condo became warm and cheerful.

“What happened to Risma? Looks like she's not okay?”
