CUTS
Three Men...
The small house suddenly became cramped tonight. The room that is usually used as a dressing room is now turned into a room for men. Cut and Wulan sleep together in a room that is usually used by Anugrah and Wulan. While in the next room, the men slept three on a piece of carpet.
“Pa, feeling single again no?” seloroh Anugrah when the three are lying together.
“Ogah Papa be single if the reality is good after marriage. If you have felt the pleasure of marriage you will regret it because of late marriage.”
“Pa, do not pollute our minds with such things.” protest Anugrah.
“Why? Papa just said what he should. You're not kids anymore. Marry so you can be calm!”
“We haven't slept like this in a long time. In the past, when Papa was on duty, we always slept three together Mama.” Iskandar reminisces about his childhood. Although he did not get along with his sister but they always slept together with Cut as a mediator.
“But Big Brother didn't let me hug Mama back then. Brother never hugged me either.” The Anugrah protest is back.
“I'm amused hugged by you. We're men, why wander?” sahut Iskandar's.
“But I'm sister. My friends all hugged his sister. If the two paths always embrace. Well, Sister? Where ever. I always walk behind Brother.”
“That's so you don't fall in the trenches. If you follow me I must be on the right road, if not you have entered the trench.”
“I'll have eyes to see.”
“Eh, why are you arguing about the past? Is there anything unfinished from your past?”
“There!” answer the two simultaneously.
“What else?” ask Rendra.
“I am still not sincere if you do not know how many deposits Grandpa gave to Sister?” Rendra and Iskandar stared at Anugrah with frowns.
“Why do you want to know, Papa as his biological child does not want to know.” Rendra Protests.
“But it is, Papa is also curious but little. How much, Is?” asked Rendra then looked at the son.
“Say not curious but want to know also.” Anugrah Cibir.
Iskandar sighed then said, “Not much, Pa. only 300 million.”
“What? ONLY 300 million and it's not much???” Iskandar secretly laughed cheerfully in his heart because he managed to prank his father and sister.
“Already, I want to sleep.” Said later.
“Pa, Big Brother is a lot of treasure too! If I asked Papa Fais's parents to be loved, right? I'm also his son-in-law, son of Mama.”
Plaque…
A small slap landed on Anugrah's cheek. “Your father is Papa Rendra. Stop calling other men Papa. Just ask the same old man Fasi after that your legacy was revoked back to Grandpa, would you?” The grace immediately shook quickly.
“Sleep there!”
Rendra was upset and turned back to the son. Iskandar with all his might held back his laughter.
Plaque…
His shoulder was hit by Rendra, “Laughter as much as before laughter was forbidden.” That night the atmosphere of the official house became very cheerful while in the next room, the women were already asleep in their respective dreams until the sound of azan reverberated.
Cut feels comfortable staying back at the official house. In the past, she only briefly felt like she was living there because her husband had bought a house in an army-owned complex as well. But living in a official house without a fence makes the atmosphere of closer intimacy between each other.
“August, Buk. Mother parents Om Anugrah or his wife.” Sapa a persit mother who was feeding her son.
“I am mother of Anugrah.” After cooking, Cut out to enjoy the cool and clean air in the morning. Her husband had gone to the mosque with his two sons and had not yet returned, while Wulan was learning to walk from room to terrace and she refused to be accompanied.
Wulan came out with a smile, “Wah, can you walk ya Buk? Congratulations yes!”
“Thank you, Buk.” Wulan Reply.
“You want to go further?” tanya Cut but immediately got a slab from Wulan.
“Why, Buk? It's better to walk in the morning. The air is clean.” Sahut mom next door.
The three men were already seen on the way home. They walk and when they go home they choose to run small until the breath of Rendra gasps. “Papa jangabn follow children. Papa's age is much different with them.”
“Ma, Papa can still give sister to them. Don't look at his age but look at his toughness.” The smiling mother noticed the family interaction.
“You want to eat now?” ask Cut to the Angrah.
“A minute, Ma.”
“Then take Wulan the way there. Let his feet step on the grass.”
“I change clothes first,” Anugrah come out with a sports suit. He immediately took Wulan to a garden area filled with grass like a carpet.
“Mama likes it here?” tanya Rendra noticed the smile on the lips of the wife. Cut nodded slowly, “So remember first, Pa.”
“Iya yes. The streets yok!” Rendra immediately grasped the wife's friendly hand and took his wife to walk the morning together and succeeded in making Iskandar envious.
“Ma, me?”
“Already last night!” rendra's reply made Iskandar sneer at him.
Iskandar who was left alone chose to go inside and enjoy his morning breakfast. Until the phone's voice shocks him.
“Iya, thank’s.”
Iskandar hurried to finish his meal and bid farewell to his parents and sister. He had to return to campus while Aisyah's business would be taken care of later. All plans are neatly arranged just waiting for execution. He lets Aisyah enjoy her days as a single girl before she ties up and won't let her loose again.
“Nikmti your day, Aisyah! Because after this you will receive my vengeance.” Her inner being stared at the photo of Aisyah on her phone screen.
Cut and Rendra still feel at home living there and Wulan is also happy because today the house is not quiet anymore. The women are making cakes in the kitchen while Rendra chooses to clean the house of the son. Anugrah had already gone to an office not far from her current home. While at the residence of Mr. Wicaksono, Teuku had to swallow disappointment because of his arrival as if he had received rejection from nature. By the time he arrived, Cut was not home.
“Same mother has gone from last night to Den Anugrah's house. Sorry, who is this with?” ask the aunt.
“It's okay, Bik. We will be here again.” Teuku immediately turned back from leaving the house.
“Do we go to Anugrah's house only?” anggia asked looking at the disappointed look on the man.
“No, later if they've come back we're here again.”
“Uncle, is Uncle shameless? Bring girls people as they please. That's his name is disrespectful, Uncle and embarrassing.” Anggia.
“Yes already, let me stop so you are no longer a girl.”
Glegs…
Well, Anggia can not argue anymore if it has used those words.
“And stop calling me ‘Paman’! I open your Uncle!”
“But I want to make Uncle my Uncle!”
“Do not hope!”
“Uncle..Uncle..Uncle...” Teuku suddenly stopped then stared at the black bead of Anggia.
“One more time you call me ‘Paman’ I make sure that second also you are legitimate so my wife.”
Glegs…
Anggia kept quiet and got into the car. No word came out of his mouth on that journey. Anggia is always afraid of the threat of marriage because she is not ready especially her friends always say adult men like Teuku are very wild and will not let it go if they are married.
Anggia will not let himself be confined in marriage let alone the man is not his dream man.
At Shinta's house, Dita who was preparing to casually go down the stairs. He was about to visit his papa's house but dear, Shinta was already standing below with her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes sharp as a lioness's.
“Where are you?”
“Out, Ma.”
“Where to go?”
“Ma, don't pretend like that. I'm not a kid anymore.”
“Deliver credit card, car key and your phone!”
“Ma, what the hell is this?”
“You don't need the material, do you? It was all Mama's sweat all along. You protest because all this time Mama only thought about work without caring about you. Now, Mama will give you attention and affection. But Mama won't give you material because you don't need material from Mama. Is this what you want?”
Dita swallowed her saliva with difficulty. His throat was choked, he did not expect if his wish had even backfired for him at this moment.
“For so long Mama rarely takes time off and now it's time for Mama to enjoy time off and then enjoy time with you. Because you do not work so for 24 hours we will always be together.”
“Ma, joking Mama is not funny. Swear!”
“Did Mama seem to be joking?” shinta's sharp gaze was very intimidating to Dita back then.
“Mana?”
“Ma, this is serious?” Dita noticed Shinta's hand still in front of her.
Dita was forced to give up all the facilities she had obtained from her mother. Your tongue is sharper than a sword is perfectly suited to him.
“Ma, but I want to go to Papa.”'s house
“Pack your shirt, we'll go!”
“Go? Where, Ma? Why is this sudden?”
“Mama wants to go for a walk together with Mama's daughter. Is that wrong? Is that what you want?”
“Couple your stuff immediately! Mama wait!”
Without many words, Dita went back up the stairs and packed her things. Her face was bent all out while Shinta smiled triumphantly. He would not allow Faisal and his family to take on the daughter he had so hard-earned.
“Do not expect you will get it! I won't let you near my daughter!”
