CUTS

CUTS
Things At Dawn Morning...


Rendra's choice was not wrong. An island that is still located on the island of Sumatra becomes the right place to temporarily divert Cut's mind from the affairs of traditional medicine. For four days they spent on the island in a romantic atmosphere full of intimacy. Rendra unceasingly made Cut hassles to face his sudden behavior.


Cut really enjoyed a short vacation without that plan. Moreover, there is a beach and every day, they always spend time on the beach. By late afternoon, they will enjoy the gentle breeze that blows directly onto their skin. Peace and calm are what the couple feels.


Until a sentence that came out of Cut's mouth stomped Rendra's heart. “Adek loves you too much, Bang. What's wrong if Adek wants to feel our love is human in this stomach? Adek didn't ask for much just asking for a child exactly like you. Son of our love. What Adek is wrong, Bang?” Cut rubbed his stomach gently with tears that continued to flow after performing halal worship.


Both of them were still lying under the covers in a plain state. “Not wrong, Darling. What you want is also wanted by other women. But we are only human, not God. We have tried and God has not given us that. So, we just do it first while praying, being patient and trying.”


One kiss given Rendra on the forehead of the wife. “Usaha we haven't maxed out, Bang. We should get some medicine. In addition to medical, we also have to take traditional medicine.”


“Iya. We have to try but don't let our intentions make us go to hell, honey.”


“Means?”


“Traditional treatment does exist. I admit it, but not all diseases can be cured with herbal medicines. There are also those who need therapy from medical and traditional medicine like what we live. Today many bad people out there are taking advantage of the practice of traditional medicine at the end of the scam. Ask people to do strange things like soaking water from flowers and then reading prayers that are not necessarily in the qur’an or hadith of the prophet. What's that name if it's not a mushroom?”


“Terus, what person he said could heal was being polite to his patients? Or maybe he even took advantage by holding his patient's body under the guise of treatment.”


Glegs…


Cut swallowed his saliva with difficulty.


“If the patient is a teenager, do his parents agree that their child is held? If a man's wife, does her husband agree that his wife is held so? That Brother? He shot his head. That pervert male instead of treating people.”


Cut no longer makes a sound. He resigned and recalled how he had been treated yesterday. In his heart, there was regret that suddenly appeared. He innocently followed the treatment just because he saw that something was working. The two fell asleep until the sound of dawn began to reverberate. After finishing the morning prayers, the two immediately packed up as their plane was about to take off at 10 a.m.


Days passed after that conversation, Cut never again talked about traditional medicine. Rendra's family has also returned without Reni. Rendra's younger sister finally chose to live in Aceh following her husband. Riko returned with Iskandar and he himself drove Iskandar home.


“Why is your face less sincere?” Rendra Goda.


“From orok already a bag of both. Big turn uh brought people.” Curse Riko.


“So you don't get near Intan?”


“He does not want. He said he didn't want to end up in the same place. He wants out looking for another world.”


“True too. Then plan your project in aceh so?”


“Gak!”


Rendra looked at the younger brother who continued to play with Iskandar. “Do you lose competitiveness with Turkish bule?


Glegs…


“Have known still ask. Foreign products are tempting.”


“I need an adult to understand and understand me. Tired of relating to people of the same age or who are still young souls. Everyone wants to win by themselves and I don't like.”


Upon hearing Intan's reason, Riko retreated slowly. He did not want to force Intan to accept it because of Intan's reasons. It was clear that Riko was not her choice.


The following days, Riko still remained the same. When her brother was home. He will soon slide there just to hitchhike and play with Iskandar. The presence of Iskandar makes the days of Riko who usually with Reni now has a successor. In fact, among his friends. Riko was considered like a father because he often invited Iskandar to gather with his friends.


Days passed until the fourth year of their marriage was a miracle. Early in the morning Cut had run to the bathroom because he felt his stomach like stirring. Rendra was training outside the city until only he and Iskandar were home.


Today is Iskandar's first day of elementary school. Previously, Iskandar had played in Kindergarten for two years. On Iskandar's first day of school, he became ill. His head felt heavy and his body felt weak. Cut again walked out of the bathroom and not far away he walked, his stomach was stirred again until he had to go back to the bathroom.


After several times in and out of the bathroom, Cut's head felt very sick and his vision suddenly twitched up


Bugh….


Cut fell unconscious while the child was still asleep until the sound of a cell phone ringing at six o'clock woke Iskandar from his sleep.


“Ma, Mama, why sleep on the floor?”


“Hallo, Dad. Mom sleeps on the floor. Is wake up but Mama doesn't wake up.”


Degs…


In an instant, Rendra panicked. He immediately contacted Riko and her parents. Riko is the first person to go straight to Rendra's house and find that Cut is unconscious on the floor. Riko immediately called an ambulance and by Ms. Yetti. Iskandar can go to school even late. Fortunately, the school was willing to accept the reason given by Ms. Yetti.


After dropping off the granddaughter, Mother Yetti returned to the hospital. There is already Riko and Mr. Wicaksono.


“How, Pa?” ask Mother Yetti to panic.


“Sedang handled by doctor.”


Rendra again contacted Riko at the same time, the doctor who examined Cut also came.


“With Mother Cut Zulaikha's family? This her husband?” ask Doctor.


“His husband is in service, Doc. But he heard it over the phone again. How's Doc? Is our daughter-in-law okay?”


“Mother Cut Zulaikha has a blood shortage. The provisional presumption may be because she was pregnant young. For more certainty we will take a blood sample and later will be examined by an obstetrician to be more accurate.”


“What? Pregnant???”
