CUTS
Sparks...

The days passed as usual. The situation of Aceh has not changed only the status of Aceh has changed. Six months after the implementation of Military Operations, the status has now been changed to a civil emergency. Although gun contact still occurs several times in various places but not like during Military Operations.

History records during the military operations of both sides many were killed including the public. Two high-ranking insurgents who were quite famous were killed in battle in separate places. The last is the leader of the rebellion who died in the interior of East Aceh with his wife who was pregnant.

The TNI forces were eventually able to repel the rebels so many of them fled to the mountain. Army posts were built in every corner of the place both in the city and in the village even to the most remote village. Every day the soldiers conducted sweeping to various corners of the forest or hills to narrow the wiggle room of the rebels.

The day has become the month. The atmosphere of Aceh is increasingly conducive, schools in various regions are being rebuilt. Children who are in the village can go back to school freely. There is an army post near the school building to prevent the re-burning. Sandbags adorn the front of each of their posts.

Every passing freight is always checked throughout the passing of the guard post. KTP is a valuable item in terms of every citizen and high school students. Despite having to pass through many checkpoints, the citizens did not feel the slightest fear. Every citizen's activities return as usual. They need not fear the soldiers if they are not in contact with the rebels.

The soldiers also build good relationships with the community wherever they serve. Every afternoon, they would join the children in the village where they were tasked to play ball. They also held the Mawlid Nabi event in nearby mosques. Mergotong royong clean mosque, meunasah and school. The various activities they do unconsciously invite the sympathy of the community so that gradually the people who used to hate them are now the opposite.

They are invited if there is a party or khanduri blang. Some of them also often visit the homes of residents to just say hello or talk in the afternoon. Feelings that cannot be regulated must be where and who the same. Some kampung flowers did not escape the attention of the soldiers so that the situation at that time made many soldiers who came from various regions in Indonesia managed to find a patch of hearts. Very many of them managed to marry Acehnese girls at that time.

Some girls are seen casually enjoying the blue sea near the cement factory. Their existence quite caught the attention of the bachelor men who were on duty in the people's area. Moreover, the level of the girls is quite beautiful typical of Aceh women with their veils.

“By acquaintance, Sweet Deck?” greet one of the soldiers who approached them.

“Bby, Bang.” Reply them with a sweet smile decorating the sweet lips of each girl.

The meeting continued unplanned. Relationships that start as mere acquaintances change as time goes on. Those who are drunk with lust in the name of love begin to cross the line.

Days passed by changing months, more and more girls came to the post. The same situation also occurred in various army posts. There are those who really love to decide to get married and many are just playing the taste just for entertainment.

While his colleagues are looking for entertainment, Rendra is still faithfully waiting for answers from the idol. Today, he returns to meet the lover at the provincial mental hospital. Accompanied by Doctor Widia, he approached Cut who was in the kitchen.

“Cut, someone wants to talk to you. Do you want?” Cut looked at the Doctor's face and nodded slowly.

“Call me if you need anything, yes?” Cut nodded back.

Rendra sat in front of Cut while looking at him fixedly. But the one who was stared at actually lowered his head while squeezing his fingers. Today Rendra accidentally met Cut in a complete uniform. Rendra pulled out his chair to get closer to Cut.

“How are you, Cut?” Silent cut.

“I miss you so much?” Cut is still.

“You believe in destiny? Again I was assigned here and I always meet you. I'm sure you're the soul mate God gave me.” Cut still lowered his head in silence.

Suddenly Cut was agitated as his hand was grasped by Rendra. There was a strange sense of turbulence in his chest. “Tell me everything in your heart. I'm ready to listen. If you want to be angry, yell, cry and even scream, I'm ready to listen to everything. Do not self-siturate your heart's restlessness. Share it with me. Think of me as someone you hate. You can hit me if it makes you calm.”

“I forgot that you never hit people. Now I will teach you how to hit the right one.” Rendra took Cut's hand and then smacked it into his face many times. Then down to his field chest. “You know, the pain when you hit more heartache I keep waiting for the word ‘iya’ from you. Even after hitting me, you still remained silent. It's okay if you don't have an answer for me but let me hear your voice again. Before my job ends. Allow me to be with you as before, even for a moment. I want to talk to you a lot. Sharing stories, hearing your stories about little Rendra who now doesn't even know me. Just come closer he does not want, whereas I used to carry him.”

“I am very sad, my heart is hurt. Not because you don't get an answer from you but let's not talk, just look at me you don't want to. Do you hate me so much?”

“I didn't come to hear your answer just yet because I had an accident while helping my colleague who was attacked by the rebels. The truck I was riding on fell into the ravine. Some of my friends were killed, I only realized after a week of coma. When I came to my senses, my first question was what day is this? I hope to recover soon so I can meet you but my hope is lost when I know that you have moved here.”

“Fortunately you guys left the address, so only that address I held until I returned to Java in the hope that I would be sent again to the area where you live now. And how happy I am to know if my job location is here. I can see you but I have to be sad again. It turns out that I have to see a woman who used to be strong even able to survive for days in the cave to save little Rendra is now here.”

“Where is the power you used to have? Where is all that courage? Even losing your own biological brother doesn't make you weak like this? There are so many questions in my head but they don't matter anymore. You also won't answer my question now.”

“Live a month of my time here. Do you still inhabit me as it is now? Isn't there a word that will make me return to Java happy?”
