DRIBBLE

KARMILA

As usual Guntur, Mamah Karmila and Kunto were engrossed in chatting on the sidelines enjoying dinner. There are topics that become the subject of conversation, such as tonight mamah Karmila asked Guntur about Hafizah's introduction event with employees and employees in the office to replace the position left by Mr. Iwan.

The presence of Hafizah who interned at the company Guntur on the advice of his papa, Mr. Asrul. His reason for seeking experience, which Thunder thought was strange. If just looking for experience, why not intern or jump into the papah company.

Thunder is still too innocent, to the point of being insensitive to the intentions and goals of Mr. Asrul. But on the one hand, the structural position left by Mr. Iwan is still empty and much needed. In addition, it cannot be denied that the presence of Hafizah makes Thunder excited.

"So where does Gun live?" ask mama Karmila.

"Died with Budenya mah, in the Sukajadi area," said Guntur then put a spoonful of his last feed.

"That's quite a distance from Gun's office" said Mamah Karmila.

"Yes how else mah, it is impossible to stay with us, too" said Guntur.

"Don't!" sergah mama Karmila spontaneous.

Sergean mamah Karmila who suddenly with a slightly loud voice full of emphasis made Thunder and Kunto was surprised and astonished. Knowing Thunder and Kunto's astonishment, Mamah Karmila hurriedly covered it.

"You don't mean, not good with the neighbors. Later on let's gather that kebo," said mamah Karmila with a forced smile.

Guntur felt that there was something strange with his mama attitude like there was something very worried in case Hafizah lived in this house.

"Yes, I've been, yes," said Guntur after sipping a glass of drink and then left the dining table.

Then Kunto stood up after eating and was about to collect dirty dishes and glasses to take him to the kitchen but hurriedly stopped mamah Karmila.

"Kun, Kun, don't let aunty." prevent Karmila.

Kunto is a bit clumsy as well because it is not usually Karmila to prevent it. Karmila who saw Kunto clumsy immediately convinced Kunto again, "Udah, it's okay Kun," said Karmila.

Meanwhile in the room, Thunder was still thinking with his mamah attitude. Thunder connected some of the awkwardness that he had seen lately that his attitude showed.

A few days after the disappearance of Kunto which turned out to be brought into the supernatural by Karbala, Guntur had expressed to mamah Karmila wanted to know more about Karbala but mamah Karmila forbade it, he said there was no need to find out more about Karbala.

Likewise, when Guntur conveyed the oddity that occurred in his office and wanted to find out more clearly about the figure who replaced him when he was treated after the accident, Mama Karmila also forbade him. And the attitude that was addressed by his mother who suddenly forbade Hafizah to live in this house also looks very unnatural.

"Why are you so sensitive when you talk about Karbala...?" muttered Thunder, his mind was surmisingly looking for the linkage of the two figures.

Instead of dampening the determination just the opposite, Thunder was increasingly curious and stronger his desire to reveal the figure of Karbala which he thought there might be something secret hidden by the mother of Karmila.

"Pak Suro, yes sir Suro might be able to help open this veil.." Inner Thunder.

......................

At noon the sun was so hot overshadowed the city of Bandung to get rid of the cool air. Inside the 3X4-meter flea book stall, Mr. Suro sat daydreaming alone. The hours of midday visitors to flea books are quiet as usual and will only be crowded again an hour or two later.

Since the events of Kunto again want to feel Mr. Suro telling about the creature waiting for the banyan tree. Especially after he saw with his eyes directly how Genderuwo was very obedient to Thunder, while Thunder himself seemed not to realize why the supernatural creature always obeyed him.

“If I tell the same story Thunder, it will definitely be related to Miss Mila. And it would be very fatal if it turns out my assumptions are wrong and if it is true the impact can even be more serious will only humiliate Thunder. Pity him, but if not immediately end pity with Mila's mother. He must have been tied up his whole life,” inner sir Suro raging worried.

“Assalamualaikum..”

The voice of a young man shocked Mr. Suro who was daydreaming to the point that his body tiptoed. All the thoughts about Genderuwo were shattered instantly.

“Wa’alaikum greetings, Gun!” pekik Pak Suro almost fell stranded from his chair.

“Siang-day daydreaming sir, what's up? Is there a problem sir?” berondong Guntur then entered and sat down on the chair next to Pak Suro.

Mr. Suro was immediately clumsy. The person who was being daydreamed suddenly appeared before him and grew clumsy again with the questions of Thunder.

“Ah, it's okay Gun. Surprised that suddenly you appear,” sergeant Mr. Suro.

“Lah, usually also here when the break time. Have you eaten yet sir?” ask Thunder again.

“Hehehehe... not yet, you want to eat Gun? Let me buy ya,” replied Mr. Suro offer.

“Itya sir, laper. Let me tell Mr. Agus aja sir,” said Thunder.

Guntur then took his hape to call Satpam Agus who was guarding at his post.

“Hallo, yes Pak Agus can come here for a while.... No, not in the room but here in the lapak pak Suro next to the office.okay makashi ya pak Agus.” Said Thunder ending his call.

“Gini sir Suro, I want a little about Karbala,” said Guntur while putting the e-hape in his pocket again.

The deg! Mr. Suro's chest immediately pounded hard. What he was afraid of finally became real as well. While he has not had preparation to answer the question about it.

“Why with Karbala Gun, does he bother you?!” replied Mr. Suro as well as divert the direction of the conversation so as not to ask more deeply about Karbala.

“No, no sir. Actually, I have been thinking about Karbala for a long time even I wanted to be able to see its form directly. You remember the first time I met you, I found a book about supernatural beings?” Thunder Speech.

“Yes yes, I will always remember it Gun, then?” sahut pak Suro's.

“But since that failed I did not continue it again because I was busy. After I thought about the many strange things that happened at home and the last Kunto event, I felt surprised why I myself was never disturbed, so sir,” said Guntur.

Mr. Suro was silent, he seemed very confused how to explain it. If Mr. Suro said that the birthmark on the left hand of Thunder was one of the drops, so it is appropriate that Thunder never got disturbed even if Thunder will always be protected Karbala. But Mr. Suro felt bad explaining it.

If until Thunder knows himself the drop of Karbala, it is not impossible that the problem will be more complicated. It could be that Thunder will blame his mother, or it might also ask for an explanation from his mother. What is clear, Guntur will definitely accuse his mama of having a special relationship with the Genderuwo creature.
