DRIBBLE

SEEK ANSWERS

As usual Mamah Karmila welcomed Thunder home from school with a warm smile and a warm embrace of affection as she opened the big door.

"Aft the foot?" Ask Mamah Karmila.

"Yes Mah, enjoy walking." said Guntur.

The mother and son then entered after Mamah Karmila closed the door again.

"Where was Gun at school?" Tanya Mamah Karmila walked hand in hand with her son.

"That's fine, Mah, but...." Thunder hesitated to tell the two events on the road earlier.

"But what?" The Mama Karmila.

"Ah, it doesn't matter Mah. Eat yuk Mah, Thunder laper nih," said Guntur slightly sulking.

"You're being teased by your schoolmates again?!" Ask Mamah Karmila.

"No Mah, if anyone mocks me I do not ladenin Mah. Just let them not like me, bodo very now anyway Mah," said Guntur.

Mamah Karmila smiled when she looked at her son with a million feelings of mystery that were stored in her heart.

"Wouldn't you go home last night, Mah?" The question of Thunder shocked Mamah Karmila who was cursing her feelings.

"Yes, he said he again handled a branch company in Surabaya." Said Mamah Karmila suddenly his face turned grim.

"Well, are you okay with Papah?" Ask Thunder plain.

This time Mamah Karmila was completely stunned and shocked by her son's question. He is not in good shape with Aryo. The atmosphere of the big house is no longer as warm and happy as when it first occupied or precisely since the birth of Thunder, Aryo does not seem to linger at home.

But Karmila did not know why exactly why Aryo stayed in his office more often. Even Karmila did not know that Aryo deliberately bought a house on BTN just to avoid lingering to see Thunder in his house.

Aryo is very disappointed that his descendants have a disorder when no one in his family or Karmila family has a history of such tompells. Aryo's attitude that rarely comes home raises Karmila's suspicion. Various prejudices had poisoned the mind of Karmila until now, one of which Aryo has WIL, another dream woman! But luckily that suspicion he never expressed, he just kept it in his heart.

"Well, Papah is fine, why?" Mamah Karmila was able to act covering up her bitter feelings in front of Thunder.

"Thunder was astonished, Papah did not seem to want to see Thunder let alone just take a walk on the weekend like Thunder friends. Why yes Mah, it seems Papah does not love the same Thunder.." said Guntur but with a careless expression.

"Who says Papah doesn't love Thunder? Papah dear really, yes maybe because Papah is busy with his office work problems so it does not look unfortunately." The Light of Mamah Karmila with a feeling of fullness said that.

Deep in her heart, Karmila felt the pain she was holding back at the time of saying that. Drawing back in Karmila's memory recall Aryo's attitude to Thunder since he was born with an unnatural disorder.

"But the time of the Papah rarely come home and linger at home, rich never miss his son that..." The word Thunder was still indifferent as he chewed his rice.

Karmila smiled wryly but she hid it by pretending to look the other way. I wanted to cry because I had to pretend to be happy in front of my son. Karmila recalled the beginning of feeling the change in Aryo's attitude.

The extreme pain of giving birth to Thunder normally made her feel traumatized to have children again. The shadow fifteen years ago as she gave birth to Thunder again stretched across her memory. The weirdness of his son was already felt at the time Karmila gave birth to him with great difficulty and needed an extra struggle.

"Let's mom... ngejan strong... take a deep breath again. yes... and then cringe as hard as you can.." said Midwife who accompanied Karmila gave birth.

"Saaaaakkkiiettt.. buuuu.." cried Karmila lirih.

I don't know what makes baby Karmila so hard to get out of her womb. Prolonged pain during the process of giving birth Karmila had spoken in her heart, did not want to get pregnant again, Kapok!

Until finally with the remnants of her strength Karmila strained with all her might until the tweezers along with the baby came out.

"Owa. gibbon.. gibbon..."

The cry of the baby Karmila sounded very different in the ears of the Midwife and a nurse who accompanied her. The sound of the baby's crying builds up their hair.

"Cock goosebumps yes ma'am hear the baby's cry." whispered Sister.

"Yes, I feel it too Sus." - Midwife.

"What because there is a tompel in his hand yes," said the sassy Sister.

"Husssttt...!"

The sound of crying Baby thunder like containing magical power to make Midwives and nurses momentarily glanced at each other implied the same question about the strangeness of the baby.

"Well, I went to my room." said Guntur, leaving the dining table.

The memory during the process of giving birth to Thunder was immediately lost by Thunder's remark, "Yes dear," said Mamah Karmila with a bitter smile looking at Thunder's back towards his room.

Karmila was still swept away with her mind still filled with conjectures that caused Aryo to change his attitude after the birth of his first child. Thunder TODDLER is indeed different from children his age. He tends to be quiet but very obedient to both parents, never asking for anything.

Aryo himself has tried to be able to accept the reality with the state of Thunder with all his strange behavior. But his efforts to be sincere and love his son always run aground.

"Guuuun, look what Papah brought...?" Aryo thrust toy cars remot with hope that his son will be very happy.

"Come on, son, take that. The cars are good." said Mamah Karmila.

"What kind of a toy is Pah, Thunder doesn't like!" Thunder throws away the remote cars that Aryo bought at a high price.

"Naaak, it's not good like that." said Mamah Karmila softly.

Aryo's face was instantly filled, there was a pain that pierced his heart. Efforts to make his son happy ended up in vain. His efforts in order to love Gubtur it actually makes Aryo really frustrated turned out to be in vain.

"A strange child," his Papa murmured inwardly.

Finding the reality of having a child like Thunder that is seen as strange, makes Aryo feel disappointed and hit. Even he felt embarrassed if he had to show it to his office employees especially with his relationships. Therefore, the existence of Thunder is always disguised by claiming to have no children even though the age of marriage has stepped on the 16th year.

There is a story hidden behind the look of Karmila's face that still looks beautiful despite having given birth to one son named Guntur Gumilang Satriaji. Even Aryo Satriaji, her husband did not know that Karmila had a cursed story since she occupied this house. Karmila experienced the same damned event that she did not want.

And Karmila promised that the grim story would not be told to anyone, she would keep it tight in her heart without anyone knowing including her husband. When remembering that there is a feeling of horror but also honestly Karmila felt a sensation that makes her satisfied. However, sometimes remorse arises when Thunder is suffering because he has a black hairy tompel on his arm.

Guntur has a handsome face above the average typical Indonesian. Her face is more similar to her mother's beautiful face. But that does not mean Thunder motherly, yes, he is a real man. But what became odd in his heart was only one, namely in his left hand there was a black tompel overgrown with very large fine hair coiled on the back of his hand.

Until he was 15 years old, the wedge in the heart of Thunder still did not get the answer.
