THUNDER RIDDLE



Tok...


“Assalamualaikum..” heard the voices of several people from outside the door of the treatment room.


“Waalaikum greetings..” sahut Guntur and others together.


“Renata, Joko, Jojo.. you guys.. come in, come in..” welcome Thunder surprize.


Renata, Joko, Jojo and the four others were stunned with their mouths agape. Everyone stared at Thunder from toe to head. The Thunder Head that was still wrapped in bandages and some scratches on the hands and face made the employees look shocked and in disbelief.


“Why are you all? How come it's such a wonder and a fluster?” thunder said seeing his employees stunned.


“Eh, i,iya anu..” said Renata teegagap confused to answer what.


The seven employees looked at each other as if telling each other to explain his astonishment.


“Why? Ren, Jo, What's the seat?” asked Thunder again full of curiosity.


Mamah Karmila, Hafizah, Mr. Asrul and Kunto also stared confusedly at the Thunder employees. But they just kept quiet because it might be an office problem, so they thought.


“Let's go in, come in, why even play at the door anyway,” said Thunder waving his hands.


Renata, Joko and Jojo who were in front position spontaneously realized from his shock, then stepped in and greeted Guntur, mamah Karmila, Hafizah, Pak Asrul and Kunto.


“Pak Thunder... bebe, was it an accident? Joko asked stammered still in disbelief at seeing Thunder.


“How many days have you been here sir?” Jojo.


“Which vina pack?” ask Renata.


“Loh, loh... nanyanya wholesale anyway, what is it exactly? You guys are such confused, is there something strange with me?” Thunder behind asked full of astonishment as well.


“Pak Thunder true accident?” ask Joko repeating.


“Iya Jok, three days ago I was with my friend this and Vina accident, her car entered the ravine in Alas Roban. This is my friend Kunto and Vina being treated in the next room. But he had also improved only a minor wound. This is the worst, you know where?” is from bright Thunder.


“Means Mr. Guntur has been treated here since Saturday. Mmm, saturday sunday, monday, tuesday.” Renata stopped his words while counting with his finger.


“Monday and Tuesday Pak Guntur is still here?” ask Renata plain.


“Ya is still Ren, this condition has returned again and immediately left the office,” replied Thunder logically.


“This is really weird, sir. Yes, it doesn't make sense,” said Renata.


Renata then tells the story starting from the process of the incident when Mr. Iwan was arrested. But his words stopped when he was about to tell the incident when he was called Thunder to tell that outside there are guests who want to meet with Thunder. But Renata seemed confused how he said it when he met Thunder in his room while the real Thunder was being treated at this hospital.


“Why Ren, how is that confusion?!” tanya Thunder astonished.


“A, anu, sir... Duh, how painful it is, yes.” Renata scratched his head that did not itch while looking at Joko for help.


“So gini sir, before Iwan's arrest Renata met Guntur sir in the father's room. And he said that there was a guest and at that time he said he told me to go in to the father's room. But, Guntur sir is there.” Joko was unable to continue his sentence in confusion.


“On why the hell are you guys? Confused kok compakkan,” said thunder boos looking at their confused faces.


Confused wrinkled faces are also visible on the faces of mama Karmila, Hafizah, Mr. Asrul and Kunto. They looked at all the confused Thunder employees.


“So start Pak Guntur,” sela Jojo who looks calmer.


“We all saw Guntur pack in two days it always leave for office. Even Renata had met the father in the room,” said Jojo.


Guntur was surprised to hear the words of Jojo, as well as the mothers of Karmila, Hafizah, Asrul and Kunto.


“Ah, impossible. No way it is, there are only you,” Guntur.


“Betul sir, I also saw Pak Guntur always working,” said Joko.


“Betul sir, we also as usual greet you every time you come through us,” said one of the employees behind Joko and Renata.


“I until today have never gone anywhere, let alone left for the office. O yes you guys also see Vina there?!” tanya Thunder frowned deeply.


“Well, precisely that sir we also wonder. Vina did not enter in those two days sir,” replied Renata.


“Kok, can you?!” thunder Mumam.


Another with a mamah Karmila facial expression, although looks surprised to hear the talk of Thunder and his employees but in his heart already has his own estimate of the answer.

Bandung, arborea,


The evening weather at the bookstall flea Pak Suro looks relaxed, in the stall Mr. Suro sat daydreaming alone. His mind was wondering where the Thunder in these two days was invisible. Usually every before Duhur, Guntur always came to his stall and often even invited him to lunch.


“Did he hurt? I should just go to his house, my feelings are not good,” he said in his heart.


Mr. Suro hurried to finish his books, then put the chairs lined up in front of the kiosk where visitors sit to choose or read. Mr. Suro decided to go visit the house of Thunder.


Magrib time is still one hour away, saw Mr. Suro down from the angkot right in front of the gate of the house of Thunder. He stood up for a moment to bend his head between the crevices of the trellis of the fence looking at the house of Thunder.


“Kok deserted yes, Mila's mother is usually this early hours are usually watering plants,” gimam pak Suro.


Mr. Suro pressed the bell button on the fence in front of him. But after a long wait no one came to open the gate.


“Where is Thunder and Mila's mother huh?” mr. Suro was looking at the gate.


Mr. Suro tried to shift the gate might be open.


A grekkk!


“Ngot washed?” muttered.


Gredeeekkk...


Mr. Suro opened enough as wide as his body can enter. He stepped towards the door of the house of Thunder.


Tok...


“Assalamualaikum..”


Tok...


“Assalamualaikum..”


Mr. Suro knocked on the door and said hello several times but there was no word from within.


“The flight is not washed but it seems there is no one inside, well until the night of Thunder and his mother did not come home too this can be dangerous. Vulnerable theft,” inner sir Suro.


Mr. Suro decided to wait for Thunder and his mother. He sat on the floor of the terrace leaning against the saka pole on the right side. His gaze was circulated to a fairly wide expanse of the courtyard in front of him, occasionally looking at the door hoping that someone from inside would open up.


For some time Mr. Suro waited for Thunder and his mother there was no sign of his existence. Until I saw Azan Magrib heard in the distance, Pak Suro also moved from his seat intending to take water wudlu perform Magrib prayers. For a moment he dyed looking for water faucets around him but did not meet. Mr. Suro also stepped to the side and there was a hose commonly used by Mila's mother to water the plants.


Unbeknownst to Mr. Suro, there was a pair of eyes watching from the back corner of the Thunder house.
