DRIBBLE

KARBALA

Thunder was a little surprised when the gate of his house opened wide and wondered inwardly at the sight of a sedan car parked in the courtyard of the house. Then he parked his car next to the sedan car and immediately rushed in because he was driven by curiosity to see guests who came.

"Assalamualaikum.." said Thunder as soon as he opened the door.

"Waalaikum salam" said mama Karmila.

The thunder mama Karmila sat in the living room and across the table sat a middle-aged man in his 50s.

"Gun, here for a second. Mr. Asrul this knows my son Guntur," continued Mama Karmila.

The man named Asrul stood out his hand, "Asrul." he said.

Thunder greeted him with a faint smile and reintroduced himself back. Then sit next to his mama while loosening a tie that feels ticking his neck since morning.

"Oh, so this Thunder who replaced Mr. Aryo bu," said Mr. Asrul looked amazed.

"Yes sir Asrul, yes inevitably Thunder must live it sir because Thunder is the only heir and all this at the request of his papa in his will," said Mama Karmila.

"Yes yes, I've heard his name ma'am and become the main topic of chat whenever we meet with business colleagues. His reputation is very respected, I did not expect Guntur to be this young," said Mr. Asrul, amazed heads.

"Don't overestimate Om, I still need to learn a lot from experienced people like Om," said Guntur mendelur.

"mmm... For a moment, I remembered. Sorry in advance if I was wrong, Om is the name Asrul Dewa Brata?" Tanya Thunder hesitated.

Mr. Asrul's face immediately gasped in shock, then the next second he smiled calmly, then said; "True thunder, hehehe..." Mr. Asrul laughed a little.

"Well, Mr. Asrul is the biggest steel entrepreneur. He is the owner of PT. SILVER SAKTI PERSADA, Large Company. There is no contractor who does not know his name, I did not expect to meet directly with Om," said Guntur exited.

Mamah Karmila just smiled at the knot in response to the phrase Thunder. He had known Asrul for a long time after being introduced by Aryo at a meeting of businessmen.

"Your friend already knows Gun, we have known for a long time when there was a meeting of the company with your papah first," said Mr. Asrul.

"O yes, I came here to offer condolences. Sorry I just came now, after getting the news this morning from colleagues. From Jakarta I came straight here. Mr. Aryo is the most respected business partner, he is very good to anyone even including to his competitors though," said Mr. Asrul.

"Thank you very much Om" said Guntur.

"By the way when else, EAGLE TRABAS gave his MoU to me, hehehe." said Mr. Asrul.

"What a coincidence Om, hopefully in the near future. I just signed his cooperation contract with Japanese businessmen, hopefully next week the meeting is smooth and there are no obstacles, anything" said Guntur.

"Thank God, then. From Om colleagues, they think you are exactly the same as your papah, careful and not carelessly press the contract even every detail is always considered including thinking about the impact if you will take the contract. Om hope you can imitate your papah steps," said Mr. Asrul.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for reminding me, then excuse me sir," said Guntur then wanted to get up from the chair but prevented Mr. Asrul.

"In the meantime, Gun, Om invited you and Mila's mother to the ceremony for the graduation of Om's daughter. Om wait at home yes, Om want you to meet the daughter of Om, his name is Hafizah," said Mr. Asrul then turned to the direction of Mama Karmila.

"Wow Om, I am not confident that the business with women's problems, so it becomes singles, hehehe.." replied Thunder scratching his head that does not itch.

"God willing Om, thank you for the invitation. Then excuse me, Om, Mah.." continued Thunder.

Mamah Karmila just smiled hearing Thunder say that. In his heart he said, It is only fitting that his son has never introduced a girl.

Mamah Karmila and Mr. Asrul resumed their conversation. A few moments later after chatting here and there, the topic of conversation changed to lead to personal things. Mama Karmila's face immediately puffed up when alluded to marrying again.

"Did mom Mila not want to find a replacement anymore?" asked Asrul, looking at Karmila.

Just now Karmila opened her mouth about to answer the question was suddenly restrained and shocked not playful by the sound of car alarms outside.

"Astagfirefull!" karmila cried out to hold her chest in shock.

Mr. Asrul immediately stood looking out, he thought his car had broken into. After seeing his car was still in its original place, he took his car keys out of his pocket and turned off the alarm through the button in his ignition.

Shortly after the alarm went off, Thunder ran from inside the house opening the door and immediately checked the situation outside. For a moment Thunder drowned looking at the courtyard at home but nothing seemed to change. Two cars in the yard still appear in his position. Thunder was curious it was impossible for the alarm to sound if no one touched him, he walked to check his car first. He walked around his car and then turned his head down under the car but nothing was found just a stretch of grass.

Then his gaze turned to look at the black Mercy sedan car belonging to Mr. Asrul. Thunder went back around the sedan like checking his car. On the side it looks nothing is broken, moving back and nothing is broken. Then the other side of the condition is still fine there are no traces of ignorant hands. Thunder continued his steps in front of the car, his eyes widened to look up at the front hood of the sedan car owned by Mr. Asrul.

"Of.. Um!" Thunder Exclamation.

Shortly afterwards, Asrul Nongol with an anxious face followed by Mama Karmila, "What's the Gun?!" ask Mr. Asrul.

"See this Om!" thunder exclaimed waving his hands as soon as Mr. Asrul stood on the terrace.

Mr. Asrul rushed down the terrace stairs with an anxious face toward Guntur who was standing in front of his car. His eyes widened to see the hood of his car had dented quite deep.

"Geez!" pekik Pak Asrul glared at the fate of his car.

His Mercy sedan looks dented quite wide, there are two basins like footprints. Mr. Asrul and Thunder both frowned deeply.

"Like a footprints," muttered Thunder, then his head looked up followed by Mr. Asrul.

He looked up but there was nothing there. Thunder and Asrul sir only saw the darkness of the sky with the light dots from the stars with faces of great astonishment. The thought of Thunder and Mr. Asrul seems to be equally suspect if the car was jumped by someone from above.

Unlike the mother of Karmila, she did not follow what Thunder and Asrul sir thought. Mamah Karmila actually circulated his gaze in every dark corner along the fence of the house. His sweeping gaze from the gate continued to trace the edge of the side fence, until his gaze was fixed on a palm tree standing dangling on the side fence of the house.

"Karbala!" pekik Karmila in the heart.

Under the Palm tree is seen by Karmila a jet black creature vaguely among the darkness of the shadows of the Palm tree from the spotlight of the garden lights. Which made Karmila feel confident that Karbala was staring at her. It was clearly visible there were two flashes of red light flashing towards him.
