Ghaib Clinic: 3 Javanese Swordsman

Bab19s. Thunder & Heru

The sound of the waves rang out, washed away Thunder in a sense of comfort and calm. Blowing cold wind gently hit his handsome face, making him reluctant to just open his eyes.

He continued to be closed, absorbing all the calmness and comfort he felt. Samar was heard, the sound of laughter and jokes from his parents who continuously called his name. A splash of water hit his face, forcing him to open his eyes immediately.

The bright light that was so piercing, made him slightly squint his net that had previously been wide open. His smile also expands, seeing his parents laugh happily playing water on the beach is so beautiful.

"Son, gohome! Mom and dad are happy here!" the father shouted at Thunder, as he prepared to approach them both.

"Son, Thunder wants to come with Daddy here, Mother" replied Thunder.

Both of his parents turned around and stared fixedly at Thunder. Smiles seem to rise from both. However, both of them compactly waved their hands and increasingly stayed away from Thunder.

Thunder kept running after his parents. However, the faster he ran the faster his parents moved away. 

"Dad.., mother.., do not dwell on Thunder, hikhikhik...." Thunder continued to shout while running and sobbing.

It's dark! It all came back dark. No more beautiful beaches and both parents. The wind is getting stronger. The cold was piercing into the bones.

It was as if he was sucked into darkness, until a bright light forced him to open his eyes wide.

"Thank God, O God! You wake up too, Le!" said Mbah Wiro when Thunder had awakened from his long sleep.

Thunder spread his gaze to all sides. He saw one by one the people around him. There was a sudden sense of disappointment in his heart.

"Happy, Dad! Why can't Thunder come? Why else would I have to come to my senses and endure this harsh reality? I want you guys!" inner Thunder was so sliced considering both of his parents who had died together one year ago.

"Nopo cry? Is anyone still sick?" Ask Baskoro-paman Guntur.

***

Jagad walked down each hospital hallway, to visit Thunder with Aryo.

"There's something weird!" chirps Aryo.

"Residu who was left behind in this place, stored so many things similar to the energy belonging to the Heru family ingon that we were dealing with back then, sirde!" reply Corn.

"Right, pakde could feel the residues of the rest of the magical battle still left behind in this place!" Aryo.

"Isn't the fight between Heru's parents also a hospital?" reply Jagad while staring at Aryo.

Aryo nodded in agreement to Jagad's words. After that, there was no more conversation from the two of them. They continued their steps towards the room where Thunder was being treated, while dissolving into their respective minds.

Their steps came to a halt in front of a special vvip room located on the third floor of the hospital.

"Actually who are you, Le? Wong sugih kayue," asked Aryo who was curious about who Thunder really was.

"Not to know, sir! Also known not long ago. The Jagad section also rarely mingles with other students at school, so Jagad also does not know about Thunder," explained Jagad to Aryo.

Tokk....

"Assalamu'alaikum!" jagad said as he opened the door.

"Glamma!" Answer Mbah Wiro and some relatives of Thunder who were there.

Jagad and Aryo greet everyone who is in the luxurious nursery one by one.

"The father is Mas Jagad, huh?" baskoro's greeting to Arya.

"Yes, sir!" timpal Butcher without giving Aryo a chance to answer.

"Didnjih, mr. kulo Aryo!" aryo introduced himself.

After making sure Thunder was fine, Baskoro finally left Thunder with Mbah Wiro and the others to continue his work as the President Director of the hospital.

"Well, kono! Talk to your friends! Mbah wants to talk to his father," said Mbah Wiro while inviting Aryo to sit outside the room.

"Damn, Mbah!" said Aryo while nodding to accept the invitation of Mbah Wiro.

Mbah Wiro invites Aryo to sit casually on the balcony of Thunder's room while chatting.

"Thank you!" mbah Wiro told Aryo.

"For what, Mbah?" ask Aryo who is still confused.

"If you hadn't eliminated that thing, maybe my granddaughter would have died just like her parents!" obviously Mbah Wiro on Aryo.

"What creature, Mbah?" ask Aryo again. He seemed to have not understood the meaning of the speech mbah Wiro.

"The old man of Thunder died as a result of the devil sent from his own friend!" said Mbah Wiro while looking fixed Aryo's face.

"What's? So, Thunder..," said Aryo hanging.

"Yes! Thanks again, Aryo! Without your help, maybe Thunder will also suffer the same fate as both parents" said Mbah Wiro while holding tightly Aryo's hand.

"Actually, more helpful Jagad, Mbah! The boy is much better than me" explained Aryo. "At that time, my friend came to bring his master's son who wanted to be used as an ingon container belonging to his parents, Mbah! I focused on saving the boy's soul with my father, while Jagad was the one who dealt with the demon that was made ingon outside" he added.

"What a great son of yours," said Wiro could not hide his amazed expression on Jagad. "Wait on! Didn't Jagad call you Pakde?" ask mbah Wiro.

"Jih, Mbah! Actually, I'm his cousin's brother, his late father Jagad, who God willing will be a father." Clearly Aryo while smiling at Mbah Wiro.

"Oah! Hope it's done, Mas!" mbah Wiro.

"Jih, Mbah! Amen," replied Aryo.

"Oh yeah! What about the kid you saved?" ask mbah Wiro.

Aryo seemed hesitant to tell about Heru on Mbah Wiro.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her!" said Mbah Wiro when he saw Aryo's expression.

"He's safe, Mbah! It's just that he doesn't remember his past at all. He lost half his memory of his childhood with his parents. So my friend is the one who is now taking care of and raising her" explained Aryo.

"Alhamdulillah! I want to ask for help, make the child close and be friends with Thunder" said Wiro.

"Ta-but?" Aryo seems not to understand with the intention mbah Wiro.

"Thunder holds a very strong grudge against the boy's family, since the departure of his parents a year ago. He insisted on studying kebatinan without being able to prevent, until a few months ago he himself was the target by his late parents' friends. With the ability that he had begun to master, thank God he managed to fight back. But.., "mbah Wiro paused for a moment. He tried to re-set his breath. "The grudge in his heart was growing. He was determined to find and avenge all of them on the whole family and their descendants."

"Then? Why should I bring Thunder closer to that child?" ask Aryo.

"Trauma will lose both his parents at the same time, turning him into a figure who is so possessive of what he has. Including family, and friends. He will not let anyone he considers valuable get hurt or even leave him again. If the child can be close and more than just a friend to Thunder. I'm sure, though Thunder will know the truth someday. Thunder will not be able to hurt him. Let's fight the hatred with the opposite feeling, so that no one else is hurt," continued Wiro while looking straight at Thunder who was cool joking with Jagad.

"But? What if that doesn't work? What if the grudges in Thunder's heart still could not be extinguished even though they were very close, even like brothers? I'm scared, Mbah! In this case, Heru was also a victim. He had absolutely nothing to do with the vile deeds of his parents!" reject Aryo.

"Isn't it much more dangerous if Thunder found the child without first knowing him?" mbah Wiro.

Aryo was just speechless, drifting in his own thoughts. Confused by what steps he must take so that the catastrophe between the two families does not repeat itself.

Seriate....
