CUTS
Trigger...

“You also have the trust to take care of the son of Ilham who now must have lost his Cheque. You who used to feed, take care, keep and even sacrifice for him when confined in a cave. When his grandmother and grandfather mourned the loss of his father, mother and brother. You are here to replace them. Don't you want to accompany him to the big one? Are you going to let her live away from your affection and attention? He will grow up to be a child with a fickle character. Sometimes he is naughty, spoiled, a lot of behavior just want to grab your attention. However, when you are not by his side, how will he live his life. Abu and Umi are old, they are no longer physically strong to look for it if they play too far. Calling her to come home soon because it was late afternoon or taking her report card to school when she started school.”

“Do you not want to take on that role? Your body is still healthy enough to take all that responsibility. But if you're like this what can your parents do? They can only cry at night when they remember what happened to their children. If they could choose, they would choose to live happily with their children and grandchildren. However, life does not give us the choice we want. Do they not suffer? They are the ones who suffer the most with all these circumstances but they try to be strong even in the middle of the night they wake up and cry out for fate. They persevere while bracing themselves for you and your grandchildren. Don't you feel sorry for them?”

“Until when are you hiding here? Try to be happy on your own while your parents keep praying for you to come back. You and Rendra are the source of their strength to live this tough life. You are the source of their power, if you or Rendra are not around. I'm not sure they're going to survive. They really hope you can come back like you used to. And there are still relatives and a man who also really hope you will recover. The man in a striped shirt whose name is pinned on the name Teuku Rendra Muhammad Nur. Are there still a few memories in your heart about him? Many want your healing. In fact, the man who was once betrothed by Ilham may also still hope you receive his love.”

“That's how love works that can enslave a man. Because of his love, Khalid willingly died to meet you. It could be, he is also watching you from a distance. She still wishes you would marry her, receiving her love and affection. Living with her in fear at all times is like your sister-in-law feels. Likewise with Rendra, for the sake of meeting your family, he disguised himself as a beggar in the market. The unyielding men, aren't they?”

“Life does not give you a choice but you can choose which love you will receive. You can consider the bad good of every choice you make. Both men are waiting for you. Maybe Khalid you rejected, what about Rendra? He also needed an answer and was still waiting for that answer. You have to come out of this hideout and face them one by one. Gather strength while you are here so that you will no longer return here to hide. Don't torture Rendra by waiting for your answer. He is a man who keeps his promise. Brother is afraid that he will continue to wait for you without realizing his age continues to grow. He also deserves to be happy. It is rare for a man to wait for a girl like her.”

“Think all my words well. Think calmly, I'm in a normal place if you want to talk. I go in first. Remember, just slow down!” Doctor Widia rubbed Cut's shoulder gently and left Cut in silence.

As the sun rose, a man stopped a car coming out of the hospital gate. “Come in!” said Dr Widya.

Though a little frightened, faith overcame his fear as Khalid sat in his car.

“How long have you been monitoring us?” ask Dr Widya.

“Doctors are not afraid of me?” ask Khalid

“You want to kill me? Go ahead, if it makes you happy. What is the meaning of my life in your eyes.” Far from the bottom of Doctor Widia's heart, he felt afraid.

“What is my cruel face? I just want to know the state of Cut.”

“He is good, as you can see but his soul is not. He was severely depressed, his soul unable to withstand the feelings raging by the sheer number of events he saw. Fear, unexpressed anger makes his soul disturbed.”

“She hasn't spoken as usual, not even her parents. He prefers to talk to the flowers he has planted in the yard. I think you've seen how he reacts when dealing with those flowers.”

“What diseases can still be cured?” ask Khalid curiously.

“Can or not all depends on him. I was just helping him to let go of everything he felt. However, until now he was still silent when I spoke. Sometimes her tears are talking while her lips remain silent.”

“Why don't doctors ask who I am? Does the Doctor know who I am?”

“What is my answer enough to satisfy you? I'm afraid I'll get in trouble if you take too long in my car.”

When about to get off the car Doctor Widia, “Can I meet him inside?” ask Khalid.

“Are you sure he wants to see you? It's too risky for you and the other patients. If Cut is hysterical then yelling, the guards will come and if you get caught how?”

“Why do Doctors help me?”

“I don't help rebels, I help a man who is fighting for his love. Even if it is known by the army I can get into trouble.”

“Thank you, Doctor.” Khalid got out of Doctor Widia's car with mixed feelings.

After Khalid disappeared, Dr Widia put herself in the car seat and took a deep breath. Throughout his life as a doctor, only this time he dealt with the rebels.

Tok....

“Doctors are okay?” ask the gatekeeper who accidentally saw a man get off the car that he knew belonged to Doctor Widia.

“Hah..no Sir. I just rest for a while.”

“Tadi, I had a chance to see a man who got off the car Doctor.”

“Oh that, one of the patient's family. Then I go home first yes, Mr.”

“Please, Doc. Be careful on the road!”

“Thank you, Sir.”
