DRIBBLE

CONNECTIVITY

Thunder thought hard about something impossible happening before him. Instantly crossed his mind with the incident that was almost the same as the banyan tree behind his house first. The banyan tree failed to be cut down because the person who cut it down got hurt.

"Mm, Mr. Toro try to find smart people around here, who just do not shaman yes sir," said Guntur after a moment of silence.

"Okay sir" said Toro then spread his hand on one of his subordinates.

"Sir Heri please find a smart person yes, who should not be a shaman," Toro said continuing Thunder's request.

"Why not a shaman sir?" sergeant Heri question mark.

"Have you looked for ustad yet, sir Guntur?!" toro then turned to ask Thunder for approval.

"Yes sir, find ustad first. If no one can afford shaman as well," said Thunder.

Thunder trusted ustad or kiyai more than a shaman. Because according to him, based on his knowledge from sales books, Pak Suro who read that shamans are mostly ngibul. In addition, it will be bothered by requests for conditions for offerings and all sorts of things.

Mr. Heri passed from before Toro and Thunder. Then Toro invites Guntur to take shelter in the mess not far from the location where the Thunder car was parked before.

"Let's go to mess, drink first sir." take Toro to Thunder.

"Let's, let's." said Guntur then moved to follow Toro's steps.

Breezy ngin afternoon enough spoy-spoy blow through Guntur, Hafizah and Toro who sit on the terrace chair mess. In front of them there is a drum cut that is made as a table.

"Guntur sir and Hafizah's mother want to drink what? coffee tea bottle or mineral water?" Toro offered Thunder and Hafizah.

"I go with Guntur mas aja sir," said Hafizah.

"Sir Thunder?" ask Toro.

"Mm, iced tea bottle only, sir" said Guntur.

Toro goes into the mess to retrieve the drink that Thunder ordered. In the mess where Toro stayed during the development of the perumnas project has provided drinks as offered by Toro previously stored in the refrigerator so as not to bother anymore must go looking for stalls.

Soon after, Toro had returned with 3 bottles of tea and glasses filled with ice cubes. While waiting for smart people to come, the chat about the project work flowed casually. Occasionally Thunder nodded his head when there was something new he knew about the technical workmanship described Toro.

Thunder smiled satisfied to hear all the explanations from Toro which as a whole there was no obstacle except about the old tree which slightly inhibited the process.

About 30 minutes later, Mr. Heri came riding on a motorcycle with a middle-aged man piggybacking off in front of the mess. From the appearance of wearing a kopyah and sarong, the man in the puppet seemed to be an oustad.

“Assalamualaikum..” said Mr. Heri followed by a middle-aged obedient man.

“Wa ‘alaikum greetings,” sahut Toro, Thunder and Hafizah together.

“Mari please, please sir..” connect Toro please sit.

“It ustad Sihab sir,” said Mr. Heri introduced the middle-aged man ustad.

“Sihabuddin... Sihabuddin... Sihabudin..” said ustad Sihab introduced himself while greeting one by one then sat across the table in front of Thunder.

“Gini sir..” said Toro explained the purpose and purpose of asking for help from Sihab related to acid trees that are difficult to rub.

Ustad Sihab understood what was his main problem. He was silent to close his eyes for a moment seemed to interact or just look at the acid tree with the vision of his inner eye.

Thunder and the others only watched as Sihab waited for his explanation curiously to find out what caused the tree to collapse.

“Astagfirullah!” pekik ustad Sihab's.

“What's up sir?” sergeant Thunder was curious.

“I saw there was a creature in the form of a large snake that inhabited the tree sir,” replied ustad Sihab with a slightly vibrating voice.

“Hah?!” everyone gasps in shock.

Thunder and Hafizah as young people who live in modern times are very surprised by things that smell magical. His brain rotates rationally between believing and not with the uttered speech of Sihab. In plain view the acid tree looks mediocre nothing strange. However, if considering the events of the Bulldozer can not shake it in the slightest, inevitably Thunder must recognize the role of the intervention of unsightly creatures.

“Kira-kira can be overcome not ustad?” ask Thunder.

Ustad Sihab's facial expression gradually calmed down, then replied; “Insya Allah sir, I will try.”

Tulikiiite....

The sound of the ringing tone of Thunder's handpone call rang making Thunder undo his speech further, then scribble his woe pocket take the handpone.

“Hallo, wa’ aleikum greetings..” reply Thunder received a call.

“Ya mah?” guntur Sahut.

A moment later Thunder's forehead shriveled deeply, his calm face turning tense. While Hafizah who was sitting next to him was also anxious to see the change of Thunder.

“Yes, yes Mah. I'll be home soon.... Wa’ aleikum greetings.” The thunder stopped his phone connection.

The faces of Hafizah and the others were covered in question marks seeing Thunder turning anxious after receiving the phone call.

“What's up?!” hafizah asked curiously as Thunder hung up the phone.

“Mamah suddenly got sick, Neng,” replied Thunder briefly.

“Then I ask you to help me overcome the tree. And Toro sir I have to go back to Bandung now there is an urgent thing there,” said Guntur to Toro and ustad Sihab.

"Yes Thunder sir" Toro replied.

"God willing sir, God willing." - timbal ustad Sihab.

Guntur was then forced to return to Bandung. The original plan was to stay a few nights in Jepara until the obstacles in the field settled was forced to cancel it.

30 Minutes earlier, in the side yard of the house, Karmila was arranging pots of her new plant collection of red orchids. Suddenly came the whirring of the wind formed a small vortex enveloping Karmila's body to make it limp, he felt as if the ground was swaying. A small shovel in his hand was reflex placed and immediately grabbed the palm tree trunk.

Karmila stood silently holding on to the trunk of a nearby Palm tree, her eyes shut tight. He felt his head twirling, his chest suddenly felt tight and hot without knowing why.

Karmila tried to hold on tightly to the trunk of the Palm tree so that his body did not collapse to fall to the ground. The situation lasted about 15 minutes without being able to do anything and during that time he felt like a very painful torment all over his body.

To whom he asked for help because in the house there was only him alone, while Kunto was having activities on his campus. All Karmila did was to hold on strong enough to stay awake not to fall in the pinsan.

In the moments when his consciousness was on the verge of its limit, the shock and whirlwind that enveloped Karmila's body instantly disappeared by itself. Karmila fell down with a limp body under the Palm tree. He leaned his back against the tree trunk, his eyes slowly opening. The feeling of heat and tightness in his chest gradually disappeared as well as the feeling of heaviness and dizziness in his head.

After his head no longer felt dizzy, slowly Karmila got up to stop her activities and stepped into the house. In his mind was only one, "Thunder".
